the issu ne to be unconstitutional when it WAS made

The business Of the country is unquestionably re-

WASHINGTON. August 81 1879.


A few days before Secretary Schurz left for Ohio
prominent mau in politics. warm admirer of Grant
for third term and personal friend of the Secre
tary, had occasion to visit him. After they had
talked on business for some time the Secretary
asked what he thought OF the political outlook from
the republican point of view. Schurz replied very
frankly and fully giving his feelings hopes and
fears. He said that he felt that he was what was
known stalwart republican in every thing except
probably in his choice of the who should be the
next republican candidate for the Presidency.
He would have to oppose Grant, should
he be nominated. Should the nominee be
Blaine. while he would probably not oppose
him. he never could support him. His choice was
sherman; not that he believed Sherman the best
man for the republicans to nominate, but he was
just now the most available man for those rcpubli-
can who, for instance would rather vote for demo-
crat like Bayard than republican like Grant.
While in the Senate with Sherman he did not par
ticulary admire that gentleman, because Sherman
strongly proGrant in all their contests in that
body. but since they have been together in the
Cabinet he has had an opportunity to study him.
and he believes him entitled to have aspirations
the Presidency. When the admin stration first be-
gan its career he shy Sherman for the reason
that he looked upon him as extreme radical and
representative Of Grantism. When he and
Eyarts made it the ultlmatum OF their remaining in
the Cabinet that Packard Louisiana and Chamber
lain in South Carolina should be allowed to go by
the Board. and that military interference in the
local affairs of the Southern States should he
(Schurz) expected to encounter bitter hostility
from Sherman in the Cabinet meetings, but to his
astonishment he found that Sherman agreed with
him fully. This gave u majority OF the Cabinet
over the peace and conciliation policy and made
1t easy matter to bring Messrs. Devens.
Thompson aud McCrary. as to have the admin
istration act with unanmity After the d)wnfall of
Packard aud Chamberlain, Sherman continued as
the strong supporter OF all of the Presidents
servative measures. He never orce fnched. and
when he followed up the Packard and
Chamberlain business with his fight against
Conkling and the New York Custom House ring
Secretary Schurz says he concluded that here vas
the for the republican emergency-the einer-
gency being the killing OF of the Grant boom. "
He immediately urged on sherman the importance
of his entering the field against Grant. otherwise
that gentleman would have walk for the
nation particularly Blaine. Conkling and the
other standing candidates showed disposition to
step aside for Grant. Sherman consented and i'm
lnediately wrote the Haskin letter. announcing his
intention of being q candidate. Since then Schulz
says he has been working for Sherman in every way
possible for him TO do So He does not know that
Sherman will succeed but he feels that he has at
least gained his object. which is the defeating of

The day of defensive armor seems
to have gone by. War vessels are
already protected with armor as
much as they can be, and yet ahoat.
In fact, the lronclads are now prac-
tically unseaworthy from the weight
they carry, and still there are guns
in existence capable of sending
masses of metal through their sides.
In a receLt experiment, one of the
IOO-ton guns drove a Whitworth
conical shot weighing a full ton
through two solid feet of well tenn
pered steel plating, and that, too,
when the plating was braced and
backed so as to offer the maximum
resistance. Evidently there will
soon be a revolution in naval war
fare. No nation can afford to build
very expensive ironclads merely to
have their sides battered and per-
forated by the first heavily armed


vessel or fort they engage in action.

In 1870 Germany waged mighty war with
France-and what but famine can vie with
war in destructiveness to wealth? Think of
the multitudes of men whom it converts from
producers into consumers onlyl War replaces
nothing that it destroys; impoverishment is its
inevitable offspring. But did not the indem-
nifty make all right for Germany? What
might not e220 100000 effect in the way of
remedy? Everything, if only they. had reached
Germany in the shape of goods, of useful
wealth, to replace as capital what had been
consumed. But what could gold avail for the
relieving of German distress? The currency
of Germany was not deficient and the new
gold could be applied to no restoring process.
1t could not be turned into wheels for moving
machinery, not become food and clothing for
laboring and distressed people. So long as it
remained in Germany, all that it could accom-
plish was to put material wealth into different
hands, and this it could do and did in a very
mischievous way Far better would it have
been if it had been locked up and boarded if
it was bound to remain in Germany. A large
portion OF this gold was applied to military
purposes, to the building of fortresses. Their
cost was enormous they consumed without re-
producing, precisely as the American railroads,
with this difference, however, on the bad side,
that in the end the railroads will repay their
cost and be permanent increasers of the ma
tional wealth. Nor was this all the harm that
the indemnity gold did. Another portion
the Government lent to SPECTATORS, who re-
tanned it within the country. They bought
German goods in abundance; prices rose, bril-
liant profits were realized and the same fatal
tale was repeated Luxurious consumption
SPREAD instead of restoring what the war had
destroyed, by parsimony prodigality magnified
the disaster, and the French gold wore the ap-
pearance of clear contrivance devised by
France for ayenging her reverses.

WASHINGTON. June 22.-The President at an
early hour tomorrow afternoon will send to
| the House of Representatives message an


nounoing his approval of the army arpropria-
| tion bill. His private secretary will at the
same time deliver to the House message from


the President returning the judicial expenses
appropriation bill without approval. The
veto message will be a comparatively brief
document, not exceeding Thousand or twelve
hundred words. The Presidents objections to
its approval will be directed solely against the
clauses of the second section which provides
that no department or officer of the govern
mont shall during said fiscal year ending June
3O. 1880, make any contract or incur any iabil-
ity under any of the provisions of title twenty.
six of the revised statutes authorizing the ap-
pointment or payment Of general or special
deputy marshals for services election days
until a appropriation sufficient to meet such
| contract pay such liability shall have f rst
been made by law.


The President in his veto message will take
the ground that it is his sworn duty under the
constitution to see that every law upon the
statute book be faithfully executed until re-
pealed or pronounced invalid by competent
tribunal. That the appointment of deputy
marshals for the Congressional elections in
California and West Chester district of New
York will be required by title 26 of the revised
statutes during the next fiscal year, and that
although the ful6llment of this requirement
may be of very little practical Importance as
regards these elections, they nevertheless illps-
trate principle, and he therefore cannot at
tach his signature to measure which proposes
to prohibit the execution of that law by pre-
Guiding the necessary appointments.


The message will also assert that although
thousands of cases arising under the federal
election laws have been brought before the
courts in various parts Of the country their
constitutionality has never yet been called in
question. and that aside from his hitherto ex-
pressed conviction as to their Importance and
value, he must continue to enforce them until
they are set aside by proper judicial tribunal,
or repealed by the means provided in the con-
stitutioD.


The President fully comedies the right of
Congress to stipulate for what purposes the
various items of money appropriated by it
shall be used, and finds no argument for with
holding his signature from this bill in its fail
ure to make any appropriation for compensa-
ton Of deputy marshals of election. It will
also be noticeable that he makes no objection
| whatever to its provisions for repeal of the

The committee of conference were unable

 agree in regard to the bill to regulate railroad

 fares and freights, and, consequently, the Sen-

 ate adhered to it's vote to indefinitely postpone it. When the bill reached the House. there

 was quite determined effort on the part of the Heading members" to politely crowd it along to the last hours of the session. On Thursday morning it was called up by Judge Catlin, but. as ''there were important matters on the calendar for the Senate yet to act upon," he was asked to give them the preference and thereupon the House devoted nearly two

 hours to the consideration of the more imper-

 tant question whether the convict Allen, of New Milford, should be released from the States prlson, where he was sentenced for life

 for killing his brother. In the afternoon the

 bill was again called up, but 'there were other

 important matters for the Senate to act upon. " Judge Catlin said that he had an amendment

 to offer which he hoped would make the bill

 so satisfactory that the Senate would not only

 act upon it, but pass it. He moved that the | House reconsider its action, and the motion

 was adopted. He then proposed to amend by l striking out the sixth section. Mir. Treat, l chairman of the railroad committee, "wanted 1 to know how the bill got before the House ?' 4 motion was made that the House adhere to

 Imagine the effect upon the minds of men already filled with distrust of Democracy of the spectacle of the refusal of their well-earned pay to Sherman and Sheridan, and the other surviving heroes of the war, by the very men whose treason summoned them to arms! The North would not consent to such an act by such men even for valid reasons How then would it regard proceeding so plainly un- constitutional, so plainly revolutionary? It requires but slight political sagacity to foresee that on such an issue the Democracy could not carry single Northern State in 1S8O and that even Grant could bloom" into Third Term against the very strongest candidate theycould present.
