PHILADELPHIA is just now disturbed
by a social sensation, growing out of the
fact that a millionaire's daughter ran away
with and married the son of a Now York
tradesman. Old money bags followed the

home. The only trouble seems to be that
one is rich and the other poor.

A RIGHTEOUS VETO
The President Sustains the Republi
can Position.
Editor
The President's veto of the Army Ap
propriation bill was sent to the House on
Tuesday. The message recites that the
bill provides in usual form for the support
of the arwy, and if it contained no other
provisions it would receive his prompt ap
proval. ft includes, however, further leg
islation which attached as it is to appru
priations which are requisite, involves
questions of the gravest character.
The President quotes at length from
existing laws to show that sufficient res
trictions are aleady placed by law on the
presence of troops at the polls, except for
the purpose of preserving order. He also
quotes from debates in the Senate and
House to show that under existing laws
there can be no military interference with
elections. He then calls attention to a sig
nificant and vital clause in this bill which
if adopted would deprive the civil author
ities of the United States of all power to
keep the peace at Congressional elections.
This the President says concerns the en
tire country. Each political party has a
right to enjoy its legitimate share of pow
er and it is the right of every citizen to
cast one unintimidated ballot and to have
it honestly counted. Experience has shown
that National Legislation to provide safe
guards for free and honest elections is ne
cessary to secure the right of suffrage to
the colored man in the South and prevent
fraud in the large cities of the North. The
constitution authorizes such legislation.
The fifteenth amendment also guarantees
the right of suffrage to every citizen and
provides that Congress shall enforce such
guarantee by appropriate legislation and
this doctrine has been affirmed by the Su
preme Court.
He then quotes from the revised statutes,
showing the authority given by law to the
Government to punish fraud and violence
at federal elections and to enforce its
own laws and declares he can see no
reason why the United States should be
denied necessary authority to protect na
tional elections. The laws now in force
should not_ be repealed except in connec
tion with enaetment of better measures to
accomplish the same end. The President
feels impelled to withhold his signature
again, since the proposed bill makes a vital
change in election laws in no way con
netted with the use of the army. It pro
hibits under heavy penalties any person
engaged in the civil service from having
any force at the polls to preserve order, to
make arrests, or in any manner to enforce
the laws. This is altogether foreign to
the purpose of an army appropriation bill.
He deprecates abuses and the great waste
of public money which has followed the
practice of tacking irrelevant matter on
appropriation bills and declares that public
opinion is against such practice. It was
not the intention of the framers of the
Constitution that any single branch of the
Government should dictate to another-
This doctrine maintained would result in
unchecked despotic power in the House of
Representatives. The grievance com
plained of now is an act of Congress pro
tecting elections, but on the principle the
House may determine that a treaty, a nom
ination or a decision of the Supreme Court,
is a gi ievance, and that the measure of re
dress is to withhold appropriations fur sup
port of the offending branch of the Gov_
ernweat The President concludes by
ur g ing a return to the wise and wholesome
usages of the earlier days of' the Repub
lie, which excluded from appropriatiou
bills all irrelevant legislation.
The Tramp Act
The following is the trawl) act just
passed both branches of the Legislature
and awaiting the signature of the Governor•
If the Governor signs it, it will go into
effect on the 15th of August next :
SECTION 1. Be it enacted, &c , That
any person going about from place to
place begging, asking or subsisting upon
charity and for the purpose of acquiring
money or a living, and who shall have no
fixed place of residence or lawful occupa

shall be arrested shall be taken and deem
ed to be a tramp and guilty of a misde
meanor, and, on conviction, shall be sen
tenced to undergo an imprisonment by
separate and solitary co6finement, at labor
in the county jail or workhouse, for not
wore than twelve months, in the discre
tion of the court, Provided, That if any
person so arrested can prove by satisfactory
evidence that he does not make a practice
of going about begging or subsisting upon
alms for the purpose aforesaid in the man
ner above set forth, he shall not be deemed
guilty of the offences hereinbefore descri
bed ; and upon such proof shall be discharg
ed from arrest, either by the magistrate

out the owner's consent, or shall be found
carrying any fire arms or other dangerous
weapon with intent unlawfully to do injury
to or intimidate any other person, which
intent may be inferred by the jury trying
the case, from the facts that the defendant
is a tramp and so armed, or shall do or
threaten to do any injury not amounting
to a felony to any person, or to the real or
personal estate of another shall, upon con
viction, be deemed guilty ofa misdemeanor,

SEC. 3. Any act of' beggary or vagrancy

one of this act.
ScE 4. Any person upon view of any
offense described ip this act, may appre

TILDEN'S "barl' " is knocking Wallace's
coffee-pots out of the way.
Six miners and a boy, who were lin
prisoned for five and a half days in a mine
of the Lehigh and Wilkesharree Coal Com
pany, were rescued on Monday ►norniog
alive and well. Their imprisonment ww ,
caused by the caving in of a portion of the
mine and cutting off their escape. The
brave men who rescued the imprisoned
miners had t► out through 1,200 feet of
rock, slate and coal bef)re they reached
their subterranean prison. During their
imprisonment they subsisted on mule flesh,
fortunately one of these animals being with
them when the mine caved in. When
found a portion of the men were cooking
mule steaks for breakfast, while the re.
mainder of them were hard at work chaug
ing the direction of an air course. They
were in good spirits and said they could
have held out for two weeks longer if it
had been necessary. The stockholders of
the company presented each of the im
prisoned miners with one hundred dollars.
and a concert is on foot for their benefit.
Their escape from a terrible death is due
to the herculean efforts of the men who
worked night and day to rescue them.
THE conviction of six men for the mur
der of one person is something rarely wit
nessed iu any country, but such was the
result of the trial of Charles Drew, Frank
Strichier, Henry Wise, Josiah Hummel,
Israel Brant, and George Zechman, in Leb
anan county, last week, for the killing of
Joseph Raber. The victim of these men
was a friendless old man upon whose life
they had taken out heavy policies, amount
ing in the aggregate to some $30,000, but
as they were unable to keep the policies
paid up the amount dwindled down to
about $lO,OOO at the time of his murder
In the course of the trial it was proven
that it had been their intention to kill
him when the policies were all good, but
for some reason or other they were unable
to carry out their damnable scheme until
last December. The principal witnesses
fur the Commonwealth, and whose testi
mony brought about a conviction, were
the daughter and son-in-law of one of the
prisoners. The jury returned a verdict of
"guilty of murder in the first degree" after
about four hours' deliberation.
A REBEL blackguard named Lowe, who
now occupies a seat in Congress as a rep
resentative of the Greenback party in Ala
barna, has sent a challenge to Senator
Logan of Illinois, because the Senator
branded as "a vindictive and malicious lie' ,
the assertion of Lowe that during the war
he—Logan—had raised troops for the rebel
army. As a matter of course t cnator
Logan could pay no attention to the effu
sions of this Southern blackguard, and he
treats them as he would the ravings of
any other crack brained lunatic. If it
were not for the disgrace that would at
tach to a meeting with this fool, we would
like to see the Senator accept and kill him,
and thus rid the earth of one rebel.
THE'Border Raid bill was resuscitated
in the House on Tuesday morning by a
reconsideration of the vote by which it was
defeated a few days ago. This was done
by a vote of 92 to 66, for the purpose of
allowing its friends to offer the following
amendments : Providing for the payment
of five per cent. of the claims by the State
on June 1. 18S0, and nothing more until
the general Government acknowlethtes the
claims : That no money be paid until the
Supreme Court decides the act unconsti
tutional and that the amount of claims be
limited to $2,652,000 The amendments
were adopted and the bill lies over for
p;.iusiug.
DEATH OF BISHOP AMES.—Rev. Bishop
Edward 11. Ames, D. D . of the Metlnidist
Episcopal church, died at his residence in
Baltimore, at 3.25 o'clock on Friday morn_
ing, in his seventy-fburth year, after a
protracted illness from diabetes and pul
monary troubles. His last official act was
to preside over the East German confer
ence, held in Baltimore the first week of
April, which he did contrary to medical
advice. Bishop Ames presided during the
meeting of the conference in this place, a
few years ago, and will be remembered by
many of our readers.
Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 25, 1879.
Senator Windom, of Minn , yesterday
did a very neat and adroit thing and
fairly unhorsed the Confederates in their
position on the Army bill. He offered
this amendment to the Democratic clause
prohibiting troops at the polls : "And
"any person who shall, with intent to
" hinder, obstruct, or prevent the free ex
" ercise of the right of suffrage, appear
" armed with a deadly weapon of any de
" scription, either concealed or displayed,
" within a mile or any polling place where
" an election for Representatives in Con
" gross is being held, shall, on conviction
" thereof, be punishad by a fine of not less
" than $5OO nor more than $5,000, or with
" imprisonment not less than six months
" nor more than five years, or with both
" such fine and imprisonment, in the dis
" cretion of the court." What could be
more reasonable than that, since any
bulldozer must have the intent Foved
against him, he should be punished for
undoubted criminality ? Mr. Wiud.m
keenly remarked : "the majority has voted
" that it should be a criminal offense for
" any person to bring armed men to the
" polls, and had also voted that it should
" not be a crime for any person to appear
" armed at the poles. Were they now
" ready to vote that it should not be crim
e inal for a person to come armed to the
" polls with the avowed purpise to hinder
" and obstruct the free exercise of suf
" frage ?" That was too severe a con en
drum for the Confederates. They didn't
try to answer it. They voted silidly in
effect to drive troops and loyal men away
from the polls, but to allow armed assassins
of the white league species to intimidate as
much as they pleased. That is the clear
interpetration cf their action. Senator
Windom then moved to amend by stri.
king out the word "civil" from the bill so
that any civil officer trying to maintain
peace at the polls should not be punisha
ble for that act alone. The Confederates
voted this down also. Thus plainly ex
posing their purpose to be to maintain
themselves in power by carrying Con
gressional districts at the point of the
bowie knife and the muzzle of the rifle.
Senator Windom is entitled to the thanks
of the country for the very handsome way
in which he dealt this blow to the Demo
cratic conspirators. His proposed amend
ment and his little speech thereon could
of themselves alone make a campaign
document that would convince thousands
of people of the danger that threatens
in the possible ascendancy of the party
which is led by the 19 0:pull:c.:law Brigs
diers in the Senate.
In fact, this little incident is bitt a part
of the grand whole reac, i K, in be
half of the Republicans is haliened by
the mad career of the Democrats, whoe
anxiety to grasp plunder and power is
driving them to perilous acts awl arousing
conservative people everywhere to the fear
of their advance. The p.werful effects of
Windom, 13Iaine, Crinkling, R3beson,
Frye and Garfield, have aroused an enthu
siasm which must last until the campaign
of 1880 not only secures th,: Pr(;eadeo.:y
again but drives the Confederate Army
from the Capitol. The organization of
the Republican Congressional Committee
is in response to this spirit of revival.
The executive committee of that organi
zation is composed of Messrs. Hubbell, of
Mich., Chairman ; Rollins, of N. II ;
Hiscoek, of N. Y.; Fisher, of Penna. ;
Jorgens)n, of Va.; Allison, of Iowa;
McKinley, of Ohio; Orth, of Indiana;
Davis, of 11l , and Dunnell, of Mum. A

will begin in a very few days The im
portaat campaigns in Maine. Massaehu

A Dangerous Torpor.
Torpor or inactivity of the kidneys is seri
ously dangerous to those organs, since it is
the precedent of diseases which destroy their
substance and endanger life. This sluggish
ness may be overcome by stimulating them,
not excessively, but moderately, an effect
produced by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
general invigorant and alterative, possessing
diuretic properties of no common order. The
impetus which this admirable medicine gives
to their evacuative function counteracts any
tendency to congestion which may exist in
their tissues. Both they and their associate
organ, the bladder, are invigorated as well as
gently stimulated by the Bitters, which exerts
a kindred influence upon the stomach, liver
and bowels, and by strengthening the system,
enables it to withstand malarial epidemics, to
which when exposed it might otherwise
succumb. [may2-Im.

6—We employ the best and most experienced cutters and workmen in making up our goods—the
style, fit, and make of which are unsurpassed.
7—All persons, whatever may be their physical peculiarities (unless deformed,) can be accurately
fitted at once from our stuck, in most cases better than by goods made to order, and at prices 25
to 50 per cent. lower.
B—Our business is large and constantly increasing, enabling us to keep the largest, best assorted, and
ninsr complete stock of Men's, Youths', Boys', and Children's Clothing in Philadelphia, to which
large daily additions are made of fresh goods, replacing those sold.
9—For reasons already enumerated, we can and do sell at prices guaranteed .14 all cases lower than the
lowest elsewhere, or the sale canceled and money refunded.
10—All goods when offered for sale are represented to be exactly what they are.
11—When buyers are for any reason dissatisfied with a purchase made, if reported within a reasona
ble time, we pledge ourselves, by exchange, refunding of money, or otherwise, to give full satis
faction in every case, and request that all such may be reported to us for adjustment.
12—All prices marked plainly on each garment.
13—To those unable to come to Philadelphia, we will send samples for any kind of garment with
prices and plain instructions for self-measurement.
