As was anticipated, the President yester
day sent TO Congress the fifth of his series
of vetoes of the measures of the extra ses-
sion of Congress. 1t applies TO the act max
ing appropriations to pay fees of United
States marshals and their general deputies,
upon which was planted the "rider" with
holding pay for their services rs u police
force in connection with the Federal cleo
tions The objection urged by the Presi-
dent against giving this bill his approval is
that it contains blow aimed at the power
Of the government to sustain it's authority
and enforce the laws which, if recognized
and approved would leave it poweress in
that regard. The points made by the Pres
ident in this message are sharply put, plac-
ing the responsibility OF disarming the Fed
eral Judiciary of any power TO enforce the
laws and punish crime, with those who
have accomplished the work. He emu
merates the crimes that must 20
unpunished if this bill fails to
become law, and reminds Congress that
to deprive the Government of the services
of these officers will be disastrous to society.
1t denies to the United States the right to
execute its laws-a denial OF all authority
which requires the use of civil force He
reminds Congress that the law entities these
officers to be paid, and that the funds needed
for the purpose have been collected from
the people and are now in the Treasury.
The objection does not lie against the ap-
preparation of the moneys needed to COM
pensate the marshals and their deputies, but
against the clause which prohibits the use
of the civil force whenever and wherever,
upon any occasion, it is needed to preserve
the authority of the Government in all its
fullness 1t strikes mt single link in the
governmental chain, which, if severed, dis
turbs the whole fabric. Upon this PROPOSE
tion the veto rests its merit, aud to yield
this point is to surrender u part Of the
authority of the Government to fiictional
demand, made in purely IL partisan interest
1t will be recollccted that the use of the
army at the polls had already been pro-
hibited on the demand Of the party which
now would remove the civil power to eu'
force the laws, and II would have beer
criminal on the part of the Executive TO hav,
made himself party to such nulliiicatior
of the authority of the Government by ap
proving the act which would have accom-
plished that end.


That the President should not be regarded
as derelict in the discharge of his duties il
any degree, he admonishes Congress of tho
immediate necessity Of making some ade
quate provision for the due execution by til,
marshals and deputy marshals of the i'm


portant duties entrusted to them. In thi


he has done all he can do, except to lent
himself to n great wrong-a thing which III
will not do. The country will judge as be-

'Corns are known as hard and soft, but
their difference is entirely owing to locality.
If corn is situated between the toes, where
it is kept moist by Precipitation, it is of the
soft variety; but if located on the outside of
the toe, where it could get no moisture, it
would necessarily be hard. Corns are pro.
duced by pressure or friction, and are sim.

but they are the most unbearable when an
accumulation of pus takes place beneath
them. The escape of this drop of pus is
prevented by the hardened and thickeued
cuticle, which must be pouticed, OF soak
ed in warm water, and then removed by a
sharp'pointed knife, The entire corn can
be taken out, with little care and patient
work, without drawing drop of blood.


The application of caustics should be
avoided in the treatment of corns, especially
in old people, as fatal gangrenous infam-
nation may be the result.


Temporary relief from painful sore

Is the thing to be said to-day. 1t seems TO
me that dozen OF the same medicine
which brought better times, should be
given to prolong such times, and
TO put as far away as possible that
inevitable period when hard times shall
come again. A prominent English writer
on political economy has stated that there
is a regular periodicity in the recurrence
Of hard times, that in England they re-
turn in about every ten years, and in this
country once in about twenty years. The
desirable thing is to keep good times as
long as possible, and when under these
inevitable laws hard times must come,
to have the calamity bear as lightly on US
as possible. Well now, 10 this end, it
seems 70 me the very wise maxims Of Dr..
franklin should be applied, where
the debts are least and where they are
the most spread out, and where Is the
least overproduction, there they will feel
hard times the least. I think this has
been exemplifed in history. Let us SO
far as we may, in public and private al.
fairs, be diligent to see toitthat when hard
times do come we are not hampered by
debts. But l am departing from business
principles and am making a speech. /

ROBINSON was nominated for Governor

out its threat OF withdrawal, and left the
hall at Syracuse. Everything was done to
placate them except to allow them to nom
inate man OF their own choice for Gov
ern0r, but they wonld not be placated and
withdrew. This step on their part may
assume considerable importance in the
canvass, but at present it is hard to tell
just what significance TO attach to it.


There was a Republican convention at
Syracuse in 1871, out OF which no less a
