Lutte veto for which Madison, HamiI-
ton, Morris, Wilson, and others so
earnestly contended for in the con-

years only after the surrender of
General Lee, every State would this
day have been represented in Con-
gress by loyal men, the Union would
have been completely restored, and
six per cent. bonds would have COM
manded a premium in gold in every

not be understood as advocating an
enlargement of the veto power, be-
cause in q particular emergency and

wisely. 1t is better that we should

maintain that it is the duty of the
people to compel Congress to respect
and maintain in their full Vigor the
rights and independence of the exec
utiVe and judiciary departments and
the reserved rights of the States, as
provided in the Constitution, not
simply because it is there expressed
in words, but because it is essential to
that balance Of power necessary to
the maintenance of liberty under a
Republican system Of government.
Upon this great issue which I have
stated, between a restoration of the
Union of States under the Constitu-

the ruins of States outside the Con-

and unqualified suffrage of Ignorant

we stand? Where do our candidates
stand? we know where Seymour
and Blair stand upon this question:
/ They stand for the Union of the States
under the Constitution, with their
rights, dignity and equality unIm-
paired, They ought to be, and in my
opinion they will be elected. But
where stands General Grant? Two
years and a half ago he stood with
us. Mr.. Doolittle concluded with 8
repetition Of the fact that both Gen
Grant and Gen. Sherman authorized
him to warn the people Of this State
against the consequences Of Radical
reconstruction-the latter, General

Let royal scion boast regal sire
And lordlings to lords estate aspire:
These proud pretensions dwindle in my eyes,

Are higher titles than earths rulers own,
A crown of rig ghteousness' outshines the gold
And heav' My splendors we shall ne'er be told.
So pure, celestial AID sublimely great
Are all the good who reach the saints estate.

And rank descend from those who give US birth
Why may l not above these honors rise,
The son of saints long pass d into the skies /.
If in this PRIDE Humility should blend
And holy Zeal its inspiration lend,
If kindling Love from this ancestral glow
Should wean the heart from idols here below

To quicken all the graces of the heart
How rich the legacy the good bequeath
To those whom death so heavily bereaves!

Man KTLLED.-A correspondent of the

bia Nov. 22d gives the following particulars
of the killing of white man by Chinaman
near that place:


1t appears that three men were seen this
morning going down toward where a COM
pany of about sixteen Cinnamon are working
in the bed of the river Subsequently, two Of
them were seen to ford the river about where
the Chinamen were working, and about the
same time the third one made one or two
attempts to rob some of them and shot at
and dangerously wounded another. He
then started down the river to the ferry.
about a quarter of mile bel low, was put
across and started up the road on the Gala
veras side. The Chinamep by this time had
armed themselves and some ten or twelve of
thea forded the river, and running up the
hillside, gained the road ahead of the de-
ceased. and shot him before he could make
any defense. Parties from the ferry at once
crossed over and hurried up the road to
where the wounded man was, and found him
lying in the road with five bullet holes in him.
a terrible stab in the neck and bleeding pro-
fuseIy lie called on them to help him; but
before they could ascertain his name or where
he was from, life was extinct.

The latest attempt to establish Italian opera
in this city, inauguratcd at Pixies Opera House
by Slrakosch, has been very successful so far
and the magnificent Opera House and the great
artist--La Grange--have attracted many ad-
mirers every night. The manager, with such
a good start, should win In the grand race for
public favor in which every place Of amuse-
ment is entered for the season. He should
remember, however, that nothing short OF per-
petual novelty-and that always Of a first class
standard--can insure tho success OF his enter
prise. Tho troupe engaged at present at the
new Opera House Is On excellent one and will
do very well for this season. But for subse.
quent seasons tho fat OF the public Is novelty
either in artists or operas. Tho non-observ-
public of the metropolis was the rock on which
Maretzek was wrecked. In compliance with
the wishes Of the stockholders of the old opera
house the shortsighted impresario persisted
in thrusting forward third rate artists before
the public, and he met the fate that every one
who adopts the same course must suffer. The
present manager has now everything in his
iavor-a splendid house, an appreciative public,
with plenty Of money and no stockholders. II
is unjust to charge a want Of taste on the part
of the New York public because Italian opera
has bad so many disastrous failures We send
away fnc artists to Europe every year who
rise TO the highest positions in art among the
magnates Of the Old World. A taste for music
has, Of late years, increased among us to such
an extent that there are few II any families
who do no. claim an artist or an amateur as
one of their members. All that is necessary
for the success Of Italian opera is to present

for the official reprimand he received in the
House on Wednesday. There can be no
doubt that the language he used was unpar-
lamentary. IIe is to blame in the premises
more deeply than the House blamed him. He
is to blame before his constituents for forfeit
ing, through the use Of Incorporate language,
the opportunity to crticise and denounce in
his place an outrageous bill. II is said that
half the money spent in litigation is wasted
through the ignorance Of lawyers who give bad
advice and fail 10 improve proper oppor-
tunities and it is at least equally true that
half tho harm done in violent legislation is
done through default Of vigorous, intelligent,
clear-sighted and ready opposition. Mr.. Wood
could have denounced this truly infamous Re-
construction law, could have characterized it
in terms as forcible as he chose and been
right; but in going aside from that legitimate
course to denounce the body of which he was a
member he lost sight of the common propriety
of his position, and radicalism naturally seized
the first opportunity to smother hostile ex-
preston for the bill is 80 Objectionable, so
open to denunciation, that its friends wisely
fear every adverse breath.


Mr.. Wood Is type Of the average Congress-
man in his ignorance of the proprietes of de-
bate, and this only illustrates the result OF
sending to Congress men utterly worthless
through inefliciency resulting from the want of
the right intellectual training. Constituencies
that send this class Of men to Congress practi-
cally deprive themselves OF representation.
But in another view it Is no wonder that Mr..
Wood did not deem it necessary in this Con-
gress to conflne himself to the use Of proper
and respectful language. II is not strange il
he and others have grown into the habit OF
thinking that there is a general license for the
coarsest blackguardism of which our speech is
capable. 1t has been common practice for
members in debate to indulge in tho use OF
words not only disrespectful, but snecring, con-
temptuous, coarse, toward a coordinate branch
of the government, and for such words Speak er
Colfax never had any rcbnkc. They were
never out of order. Thus Tho proper regard
for tho propriotics of speech was lost in the
House, and the language Of reference to others
became demoralizel, all through the direct
culpable neglect OF his plain duty on the part
