BILLS AND VETOES.

In the congress which concluded its sit
ting Yesterday something like $4,000 bills
were introduced, more than were ever
offered in any preceding congress. Natur-
ally in such mass of measures there were
many not only worthless but actually harm
full. There were the usual cunning bills,
in which, to use slang legislative parlance,
''snake" was concealed; bills to serve
private and corporate ends and in various
ways seeking to make wrongful and dis
honest use of the public money. Obviously,
without extreme vigilance OH the part of
the executive many of these crooked meas
ures in the more or less confused progress
of legislative work might have become
laws and the people would have
been swindled. Instead of such being
the case. it is safe to say smaller
proportion Of harmful schemes have
become laws during the present congress
than ever before. A man was found in the
executive chair who had the peoples inter-
ests at heart and who was equal to the oc-
casion. President CLEvELAND's veto
record has been an admirable one He has
stamped with his disapproval four more
bills than have been vetoed from the found
ing of the government up to the beginning
of his presidential term. Perhaps in sew
eral instances he has made mistakes. 1t
could hardly be otherwise when the enor-
NOUS number of enactments he has had to
pass upon is considered, but in the vast ma
jority of cases he has acted exactly as the
people of the United States would have
him do. He has demonstrated to them,
too, that he appreciates his position as
servant of the people and does not intend
to allow superabundance of hard work to
cause him to shrink from faithful perform
ance of his duties

JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 5.-Hinds county,
in which is situated the capital of the state,
is convulsed with excitement growing out
of the election to be held Aug. 10 under the
local option law passed by the last legisla-
ture. Nothing like it has been seen in
this county, except the political revolution
of 1875. The blacks outnumber the
whites two to one. and the
Prohibitionists. finding that the bulk of them
are going to vote the ''wet ticket" seem
determined that they shall not exercise that
privilege. An AUTHORIZATION meeting in
the county last week was visited by body
of armed Prohibltionists, who interrupted
the speaker to such an extent, denouncing
him as liar, etc, that the meeting had to
be abandoned. From fifty to one hundred
pistol shots were fired in the darkness as
the Prohibitionists left, not withsthe inten-
ton OF hurting anyone but doubtless to
INTISIIDATE THE NEGROES
and prevent their voting. The chairman of
the Prohibition executive committee to-day
told the GLOBE correspondent that all the
anti -ProhibitiOnist meetings would be re-

If this policy is pursued bloodshed is
expected. Excitement over the question
is running the people mad, and the coolest
heads fear bloodshed daily. To-day, but
for the timely interference of friends, the
deputy sheriff, Prohibitionist, and the
city marshal, i-Prohibtionist, would
have been shooting each other, caused by
the discussion of the breaking up of last

JEFF DAVIS AND THE PURITANS.
The Puritans have champion in a most
unexpected quarter. Nothing could be
more surprising than tribute to the Pill
grim Fathers from representative of the
Cavaliers. But more singular than all is a
voluntary eulogism upon the heroes of Ply
mouth Rock from no less person than the
late chieftain of the Southern Confederacy
In the last number of the Southern Bivouac
is most readable article from the pen of E.
POLK JOHNSON in which the writer
gives an interesting account of recent
visit to JEFFERSON DAVIS in his home at
Beauvoir, and the substance of long con-
versation with the noted eX-Confederate
president. During the talk the subject of
the Pilgrims and their life and influence on
American institutions, was brought up.
1.-THE Pilgrim was very good pioneer"
said Mr.. DAVIS. After referring to their
flight from England, and their short So
iourn in Holland, where they had but scant
opportunities for the assertion of those
prerogatives which they seemed to
think they possessed by almost
Divine right, Mr.. DAVIS said that

'.The Puritans," he said, worked out
their destiny as best they could and in ac-
cordance with the lights before them. The
bad men who came after them threw upon
them an odium and blame to which
they were not justly entitled. They
were harsh and intolerant, but en-
tirely honest" He says that in the very
nature of things ROGER WILLIAMS could
not be permitted to assert his independent
views among them. To do so meant the
disintegration of the colony. because after
accepting the bleak coast of Massachusetts
as an abiding place it was necessary that
they should dominate all who came within
the limits of the territory they had occu-
pied. Of course there were harsher rene
dies applied than justice or mercy could in
dorse, but the disturbing elements had to be
gotten rid of. Such is the defense JET

houses which have agreed to this plan are:

norm. Armour and the Chicago Packing d
Provision company have hitherto held out,
demanding that the nine-hour day be put
in force. The firms which will put the
hour system into effect are understood to
have come over to their side, Mr.. Armour

pany. 1t is probable that all the houses in
the yard will adopt it. The superintendent
OF one of these said to-day that he did not
anticipate any trouble from the men, and
was induced to think that most of
them would accept the new scale, although
he did not know that they would. He was
Induced to think that if the men did accept
they would like it, as the more hours they
worked the better pay they would receive.
The men say, however, that if the hour SyS-
TEN is adopted the employers will in the
dull season make the employees work few
hours day, giving them an opportunity to
earn barely living wages If the hour sys
tenn is adopted on Monday and there is very
little doubt that it will, between 5000 and
1000 men will be affected. Some of the
employees are monthly men," receiving
salaries, and these, of course. will be

willing to work at a stated price per hour,

have been receiving ten hours pay for eight

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.

The session of congress which closed yes
terday is remarkable for the amount of
time frittered away and the very little that
was done in the way of legislation. 1t is
possible that the country has cause for sin
cere congratulation that no more was done.
While no great amount of good was ac-
complished by what little legislation was
perfected, still but little harm has been
done. The present congress labors under
two very serious disadvantages. One is the
unfortunate circumstance of the two
branches being arrayed in political hostility
to each other. The other is the lack of ca
pable leaders in both branches. The Dem
Ocratic house made an honest attempt, al
though it was done in most awkward
manner, to carry out the reform pledges of
the Democratic administration. The Re
publican senate seemed to be inspired by
no higher ambition than to thwart
the Democratic house in every reform
movement with the hope of bringing the
Democratic administration into disrepute.
The house suffered from the lack of COM
petent leader. The only two Democrats in
the lower branch of congress who possessed
qualifications for successful leadership were
unfortunately handicapped in the begin
ming. Mr.. CARLISLE was placed in the
speakers chair and consequently could not
lead on the floor of the house. Mr.. RAN
DALL's views on the tariff placed him at
disadvantage and debarred him from the
prominent position he deserved to occupy
as Democratic leader. The next in rank
was Mr.. MORRISON, who seems to lack all
no OLE ont Of Loo
quence has been that the Democratic ma
jority in the house has blundered along
pretty much after the fashion of bull in a
china shop. 1t deserves credit, however, for
the efforts it made at reform legislation.
Whatever good has been accomplished was
effected by the hard knocks of the Demo-
cratic members in the house. The Repub-
lcan leaders of the senate were shrewd
enough to take advantage of the disorgan-
lied condition of rhe Democratic house and
unscrupulouS enough to turn it to account in
the way of making party capital at the eX
pense of the general welfare. The senate
has been so exclusively devoted to the bust
ness of studying senatorial courtesieS that
it has had no time to give to matters of
public utility. 1t is a most lamentable fact
that during the nine months session of con-
gress which came to close yesterday there
has not been man in either branch who
has risen to the plane of craftsmanship.
Every question that has come before con-
gress has been viewed from selfish parti-
san standpoint. 1t is no wonder that the
country experiences feeling of relief that
such congress has adjourned. The
only hope of security that was
left to the people was in the con-
servative ability of the president who held

BoYCorTING CANADA.

The bill introduced into congress the
other day by Mr.. COLLINS of Massachu-
sets, intended to establish a national boy
colt against Canada by excluding Canadian
rail trains in reprisal for fishery outrages, is
not new scheme. 1t was suggested to
congress as long ago as 1870 by Gen.
GRANT. The Canadian authorities were
then threatening the same trouble to our
fishermen that they are now making, and

dent GRANT, in message to congress, rec

a 80 calibre revolver. One bullet lodged
in Briggs shoulder and another in the alb

Totman then shot himself in the left
breast, nfiicting fatal wound. The men
were supposed to be the best of friends,
