LETTER FROM FAUQUIER.

Correspondence OF tho Alexandria Gazctte.)
WARRENToN JUNCTION, July Oath, 1885,
On Thursday last some colored excursion
lists from Washington, D. G., to Warren.
ton. got off the cars at this place, while re-
peated warnings to get aboard were not
needed, the parties being somewhat under
the influence of liquor, or anxious to
show their activity By boarding the train
while the cars were in motion. In doing
SO quite number of them came within a
hairs breadth of being killed, several were
knocked down and one man was thrown on
his head in the cattle stop and was picked
up for dead, being badly cut and very
bloody. A gentleman who stepped in to look
at the sufferer said he thought the man was
dying, but asked how and where he was
hurt. He was told chiefly about the head.
"Ah,n said the gentleman, she will not die
then, you can't kill u negro by throwing
him on his head" The man was put on the
cars and Doctor telegraphed for to meet
the train at Warrenton whether the Doc
tor came or not do not know, but the ne
gro was we'll enough to take his place in
the procession up there, proving the gentle.
mans theory of negro hard-headedness was
quite correct.
Yesterday and to-day have been delight
full for hay making. Quite busy and Gu
couragiug scene has presented itself here
some farmers have been hauling snd stack
ing hay in their barnyards, others are busy
in their meadows with mowers and horse
rnkes, and hands getting the hay into
shocks, while steam thresher5 are seen NOV
ing along the public highways, going from
farm to farm, actively engaged threshing
out the wheat crops. The rich looking corn
fields, now in silk and tassel, can be seen
on all sides of the public roads; but how
steam propelled machines manage to get
over the miserable county roads without
smashing all to pieces is mystery. There
are roads here that have not had lick
struck on them for three years, and are gull
lied out down the centres, or crossed from
side to side half dozen times within hun
dred yards, like a serpent's path. This
public road business is bit of government
al machinery, not in the hands Of the farm
ers, and if everything else is managed as
badly as the public road system, it would be
we'll if the government would abdicate its
functions entirely, for here, in this respect,
it is nullity. The wheat now threshed is
in fine condition. S.

Criticism Of the President.

Senator Blair, from the committee on pen
sions, on Saturday submitted report upon
tie message of the President vetoing the
bill granting pension to Newcomb Parker.
The ground of the veto was that "before
the passage Of the bill the commissioner of
pensions, in ignorance of the action of Con-
gress, allowed the claim under the general
law" and that the President was unwilling
that mau worthy to be placed on the pen
sion roll should be loser by reason of a
special interposition of Congress. The re-
port submits the papers on file in the case
to show that prior to the application to
Congress for relief by special act the claim
had been rejected by the pension office, and
was only re-examined and allowed after it
was found the bill had received favorable
action from Congress. The report then
comments as follows on the veto: "Why
does the President in his message suppress
the fact that the claim had been formally
rejected by the pension Office, so that
the claimant had no remedy but in the
interposition of Congress? Why does
he take pains to say that in igno-
rance of the action OF Congress- the
commissioner had allowed the claim under
the present law? Why does he proceed TO
express his anxiety to save the claimant
from the loss of arrears of pension by the
action OF Congress when such action would
have no such effect, not in the least impair
ing his right to the allowance of the arrears,
save by the force OF recent and unaccount.
able ruling of the present commissioners,
reversing all previous practice and violat.
ing all equity, and, we believe, all legal
right, made apparently as punishment to
those who dare to apply to Congress for
relief? Why does the President so write
this message as to place Congress, himself
and the commissioner before the county in
light favorable to himself and the COM
missioner, and unfavorable to the legisla.
ture of the country? Can any one believe
that the commissioner of pensions reversed
his own deliberate action rejecting this
claim without particle of further evidence
or any trace of reason save as the result OF
the proceedings in Congress, of which it is
simply absurd or worse to deny bis know
ledge, just in season to enable the President
to write this peculiar veto, which places
Congress in the attitude of iphicting hurt to
the claimant by their meddlesomeness ?"
