JEFFERSON DAVIS said a few days ago
"he never saw a Southern woman who was
reoonstrncted." Remembering that Jef
ferson, on a certain occasion, appeared
in petticoats and hoop skirt, perhaps that
is the reason why he has never been recon

but, the Judicial bill was promptly vetoed,

WE SEE the name of our townsman,
J. Simpson Africa, esq., mentioned in con
nection with the Democratic nomination
for the office of State Treasurer. If Mr.
Africa has any aspirations for that nomi
nation, the aotion of the county committee
of his party put a formidable Barr-ier in
his way. Who is responsible for "settin'
'em up" on Mr. Africa ?
OUR neighbor of the Monitor seems to
be out of humor with the Penitentiary
Commissioners, and charges them with
advertising their lettings in none but Re
publican papers. We don't know bow
that is, but we do know that the gentle-
man who received the contract for the
building of the reservoir is a simon-pure
Democrat, which goes to prove that the
Commissioners do not allow politics to in
fluence their official action.
THZILZ is trouble in the Democratic
household in Juniata county, caused by
one of the defeated candidates for Sheriff
claiming that he was defrauded out of the

wnich will cause considerable music
among the "faithful" of that county. Let
the band play.
Tws President has withdrawn from the
Senate the name of Hon. Geo. W. McCrary,
whither he sent it, a few weeks ago,
as Judge orthe Circuit Court of the United
States. The vacancy will not occur until
the first of September, and the President,
doubting the propriety of naming a suc.
censor thus early, has seen proper to with
draw his name, but at the proper time we
presume he will be again named for the
position.
THE Hull murder mystery is likely to
be made plain. A negro, named Chastine
Cox, who resided in the vicinity of the
Hull mansion, was arrested in Boston, on
Monday last, and upon being searched the
gold watch of the muidered woman was
found upon his person. The negro had
also pawned several pieces of jewelry which
were proven to have been the property of
Mrs. Hull. He admits robbing the house
but denies that he committed murder.
A DISPATCH from London, dated the
19th inst., says that Prince Louis Napo
leon, Prince Imperial of France, was killed
in Zululand, on the Ist inst., while out on
a reconnoitering expedition in company
with an officer and half a dozen soldiers.
The Zulus surprised them in a field of tall
grass and attacked them. Four of the
party succeeded in making their escape,
while the Prince and two of his escorts
were killed. There were no bullet marks
upon the body, but there were seventeen
assegai wounds, two of them piercing it
from back to chest. They stripped him
of his clothes, and left him naked on the
field, where be was found several hours
later.
AMERICA has carried off the "blue rib
bon" in every contest with our English
cousins this season. First, Parole beat the
favorites of the English turf, winning a
fortune for his owner ; then 'ltalian had
an easy victory over his competitor in the
recent rowing match, beating him eleven
boats' lengths, and now we have Weston
carrying off the champion belt, after Lav
ing walked the unprecedented distance of
550 miles in 142 hours, the best record
ever made in long distance pedestrianism.
The profits of this victory, we see it as
eiCe-ed. $301:10, h - ard ly
tenth of the amount of gate money in the
New 'York contest of a few months ago,
in which Rowell was the victor and by
which he carried a fortune with him over
the Vta6r. Weston will return to this
country in a few days, and the warm greet
ings,of his.friexids and admirers will more
than compensate him for the small amount
of money received for his exhibition of his
powers of endurance.
Editor.
DURING an all.night session of the Uni
ted States Senate, on the 19th inst., when
the Army bill was under discussion, the
country was treated to an exhibition of
"plantation manners" and rebel rowdyism
eclipsing the scenes witnessed in that body
in the long ago when the bully Brookes at
tempted to rule it by the force of the blud
geon. Lamar, of Mississippi, an unwashed
and unrepentant rebel, without cause or
provocation, used insulting language to
wards Senator Conkling, charging him
with falsehood. This brought the New
York Senator to his feet, when he proceed.
ed to flay the Mississippian, denouncing
him as "a blackguard, a coward and a
liar." Our 'Washington letter treats of
this matter more fully than we have space
to do at this time, and we ask for it a care
ful reading.
THE trial of Ella Duer, charged with
the murder of her friend Ella Hearn, at
Snow Hill, Md., resulted in the conviction
of the fair prisoner of manslaughter, with
a recommendation to the mercy of the
court. The laws of Maryland permit
either imprisonment or fine in the case of
conviction of manslaughter, and in view
of the jury asking the mercy of the court,
Judge Wilson sentenced the prisoner to
pay a fine of $5OO, which was the highest
sum the law allowed. Her friends have
raised the money, paid the fine and she
has been discharged.
THE Lancaster New Era, a paper pub•
lished in the interests of a clique of cor
rupt politicians in that county, undertook
to libel District Attorney Eshelman and J.
Hay Brown, Esq., of that city, for which
pleasant pasttime the editor will have to
answer before the courts. The Era belongs
to that class of papers always howling for
"reform," while its sole object is to bolster
up and champion the cause of men who
have grown obnoxious to the party on ac
count of their connection with corrupt
rings.
Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20, 1879
The evident purpose of the Democrats
to apply their indecent methods so effectual
in the House to the Senate, will fail of ef
fect. Plantation manners on the part of
the rebel Brigadiers in that body received
a severe check yesterday and last night,
the occasion being the effort to crowd
through the viscious army bill without de
bate. The Senate never has been ruled
by the cramming process and pure parti
sanship until now, but the Confederates
are aware that their assaults on the Army
and the Federal power will not bear the
light of intelligent discussion, so they
crack the whip of the caucus, and unite
in shaking off debate. The result was an
all night session, the Republicans resisting
the passage of the bill in such a blind way,
and the Democrats unitedly forcing it.—
The running fire was as good perhaps as a
fuller debate, and Senators Conkling,
Blaine, Windom and others were able t•
expose the evil purposes of the bill with
terrible effect. Lamar, Eaton and Beck
on the Confederate side got very angry
and nervous under the castigation, and
Lamar went so far as to charge falsehood
against Mr. Conkling. The New York
Senator who had been walking slowly back
and fort behind the benches, advanced to
his seat, and said: -Mr. President I was
" diverted during the commencement of
" the remarks, the culmination of which I
" heard from the member from Mississippi.
" If I caught his words aright I have only
" to say, this not being the place to mess
" tire with any man the capacity to violate
" decency, to violate the rules of the See
" ate, or to commit any of the improprieties
"of life, I have only to say that if the
" Senator—the member—from Mississippi,
" did impute or intend to impute to me a
falsehood, nothing except the fact that
" this is the Senate would prevent my de
" nouncing him as a blackguard and a
" coward." This created great excitement,
but it is noticeable that the Confederates
had all they wanted of plantation manners,
and will be apt to halt them in their career.
It is well to apply a severe lesson of this
sort to them occasionally. The loyal peo
ple of this country should understand that
it is only by such unusual methods as that
adopted by Senator Conkling on this oc
casion that the encroachments of the bull
dozing majority can be successfully re
sisted. Senators Blaine and Windom were
also severe in their denunciation of the
Democratic Senators for the methods they
adopt to force obnoxious measures upon
the minority, and to reverse the legislation
made necessary by the war of the rebellion.
The general appropriation bill will proba
bly go to the President to day, and it is
thought he will sign it, although it is so
full of stupid blunders that it can hardly
be interpreted. The army bill will event
ually pass as the Democratic caucus or
dered, and reach the President perhaps by
Saturday. Republicans are divided on the
probability of his signing this. The judi
eial expenses bill he will probably veto,
indeed, it is semi-officially announced that
he will. This will force the Democrats to
the last ditch again. Will they back down
and make appropriations without limiting
the executive power relative to enforcing
the election laws, or will they adjourn and
leave the bill with the President, and
probably be called in another extra ses
sion ? Already badly demoralized, they
will be dreadfully cut up by another veto.
There are signs of discontent among the
Greenbackers at the treatment they have
received at the hands of the Democrats in
Congress and in the State campaigns.
Bayard's finance committee of the Senate
has set down on the silver bill hard, and
it will not be reported. In Maine the
Democrats invaded the Greenback conven
tion and robbed their platform of several
of its darling planks. In Ohio Democrats
are "gobbling up" the whole Greenback
party. Loud complaints are made in con
sequence, and the indications bode no good
to the Democrats. LEO.
VETO No. 4.
The Judiciary Bill Returned to Con
gress With the President's
Disapproval.
The following naessag . e. was sent in on
Monday, vetoing the Judiciary
2'u the House of Reprelientatives : After careful
examination of the bill entitled "An act making
appropriations for certain judicial • xvoses," I
return it herewith to the house of representatives,
in which it originated, with the following objec
tions to its approval: The general purpose of the
bill is to provide for certain judicial expenses of
the government for the fiscal yearending June 30,
ISSO, for which the sum of $2 690,000 is appro
priated. These appropriations are required to keep
to operation Lhe geniFfiaTifif6r6llll — MTlTLlTlMMlr
department of the government, and if this part of
the bill stood alone there would be no objection to
its approval. It contains, however, other provis
ions to which I desire respectfully to ask your at
tention. At the. present session, of congress, a
majority of both houses favoring a repeal of the
congressional election laws embraced in title 26 of
the revised statues, passed a measure for that
purpose ae part of a bill entitled an act making
appropriation for the legislative, executive and
judicial expenses of the government for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1880, and for other purposes.
Unable to concur with congress in that measure,
on the 29th of May last I returned the bill to the
house of representatives, in which it originated,
without my approval, for that further considera
tion which the constitution provides. On re-con
sideration the bill was approved by less than two
thirds of the house and failed to become a law.
The election laws, therefore, remain valid enact
ments and the supreme law of the land binding ,
not only upon all private citizens, but also alike
and equally binding upon all who are charged
with the duties and responsibilities of the legis
lative, the executive and judicial departments of
the government. It is not sought by the bill be
fore me to repeal the election laws. Its object is
to defeat their enforcement. The last clause of
the first section is as foliows:
"And no part of the money hereby apppropriated ie
appropriated to pay any salaries, compensation, fees or
expenses under or in virtue of title 36 of the revised
statutes; or of any provision of said title."
Title 26 of the revised statutes, referred to in
the foregoing clause, relates Co the election fran
chise and contains the laws now in force regulating
the congressional elections. The second section
of the bill reaches touch further. It reads as
follows:
Sammy 2. That the sums appropriated in this set r
the persona and public ...vice embrace,' in the provis
ions are in full for such persona and public service for
the fiscal year ending June de, IMO, and no department
or officer of the government shall, during said fiscal year
make any contract or incur any liability for future pay
ment of money under any of the provisions of title 26 of
the revised statutes of the United States, authorizing the
appointment of general or epecill deputy marshals fur
service in connection with elections or on election day
until appropriation sufficient to pay ench contracts or
pay such liability shall have first been made by law."
This section of the bill is intended to inake an
extensive and essential change in existing laws.
The following are the provisions of the statutes
on the same subject which ere now in force:
"Szcrrox 2,679. No department of the government shall
expend in any one fiscal year any sum in excess of
appropriations made by congress for that fiscal year or
involve the government in any contract for the future
payment of money in excess of such appropriations."
.'SiterioN 2,73'2. No contract or purchase on behalf of
the United States shall be made unless the same ie
authorized by law or is under an appropriation adequate
to its fulfillment, except in war and navy departments
for clothing, subsistence, forage, fuel, quarters or trans
portation, which, however, shall nut exceed the necessi
ties of the current year."
The object of these sections of the revised
statutes is plain. It is, first, to prevent any
money from being expended unless appropriations
have been made therefor ; and, second, to preient'
the government from being bound by any contract
not previously authorized by law, except for cer
tain necessary purposes in the war and navy de
partments.
Under the existing laws the failure of congress
to make the appropriations required for the exe
cution of the provisions of the election laws would
not prevent their enforcement. The right and
duty to appoint the general and special deputy
marshals which they provide for would still re
main, and the executive department of the gov
eminent would also be empowered to incur the
requisite liability for their compensation. But
the second section of this bill contains a prohibi
tion not found in any previous legislation. Its
design is to render the election laws inoperative
and a dead letter during the next fiscal year. It
is sought to accomplish this by omitting to
appropriate money fur their enforcement, and by
expressly prohibiting any department or officer of
the government from incurring any liability under
any of the provisions of title 26 of the revised
statutes, authorizing the appointment or payment
of general or special deputy marshals for service
on election days, until an appropriation sufficient
to pay such liability shall have first been made.
The President is called upon to give his affirm
ative approval to positive enactments which in
effect deprive him of the ordinary and necessary
means of executing laws still left on the statute
book and embraced within his constitutional duty
to see that the laws are executed. If he approves
the bill and thus gives to such positive enact
ments the authority of law, he participates in the
curtailment of his means of seeing that the law is
faithfully executed, while the obligation of the
law and of his constitutional duty remains unim
paired.
The appointment of the special deputy mar
shals is not made by statute a spontaneous act of
authority on the part of any executive or judicial
officer of the government, but is accorded as a
popular right of the citizens to will into operation
this agency for securing the purity and freedom
of elections in any city or town having 20,000 in
habitants or upwards. Sectiea 2,021 of the re
vised statutes says it is in the power of any two
citizens of such city or town to require 3f the mar
shal of the district the appointment of these special
deputy marshals. Thereupon the duty of the
marshal becomes imperative, and its non-per
formance would expose him to judicial mandate
or punishment or to removal from office by the
President as the circumstance of his conduct
might require. The bill now before me neither
revokes this popular right of citizens nor relieves
the marshal of the duty imposed by law, nor the
President of his duty to see that this law is faith
fully executed.
I forbear to enter again upon any general dis
cussion of the wisdom and necessity of election
laws, or of the dangerous and unconstitutional
principle of this bill, that the power vested in
congress to originate appropriations invalves the
right to compel the executive to approve any leg
islation which congress may see fit to attach to
such bills, under penalty of refusing means needed
to carry on essential functions of the government.
My views on these subjects have been sufficiently
presented in the special messages sent by me to
the house of representatives during their peesent
session. What was said in those messages I re
gard as conclusive as to my duty in respect to the
bill before me. The arguments urged in those
communications against the repeal of the election
laws and against the right of congress to deprive
the executive of that separate and independent
discretion and judgment which the constitution
confers and requires, are equally cogent in oppo
sition to this bill. This measure leaves the
powers and duties of the supervisors of elections
untouched. The comoeneetion of those officers is
provided for under permanent laws, and no lia
bility for which an appropriation is now required
would therefore be incurred by their appointment.
But the power of the national government to pro
tect them in the discharge of their duty at the
polls would be taken away. The State may em
ploy both civil and military power at the elections,
but by this bill even the civil authority to pro
tect the congressional elections ie denied to the
United States. The object is to prevent any ade
quate control by the United States over the na
tional ele.;:ilns by forbidding the payment of
deputy marshals, the officers who are clothed with
authority to enforce the eleetion laws.
The fact that this law was deemed objectionable
by a majority of both houses of congress is urged
as a sufficient warrant for this legislation. There
are two lawful ways to overturn legislative enact
ments. One is their repeal. The other is the de
cision of a competent tribunal against their valid
ity. The effect of this bill is to deprive the execu
tive department of the means to execute laws
which are not repealed, which have not been de
clared invalid, and which it is therefore the duty
of the executive and of every other department of
the government to obey and enforce.
I have, in my former messages on this subject,
expressed a willingness to concur in suitable
amendments for the improvement of the election
laws, but I cannot consent to their absolute and
entire repeal, and cannot approve legislation which
seeks to prevent their enforcement.

EXICUTIVE Macaws, June 23, 1879.
Literary Notes.
The July Number of Harptr'a Magazine is a
worthy successor to the beautiful June Number.
The social gayeties of a fashionable sea-side
resort are presented in vivid colors in the leading
article on Narragansett Pier, by Prof. Charles
Carroll, with a number of striking illustrations
by Reinhart. Howard Pyle's delightful and in
teresting gossip concerning life on the Eastern
Shore is concluded in this Number. The peach
orchards of Delaware, cypress shingle-making in
its Dismal Swamp, its sleepy old capital, and
yachting along its coast, afford Mr. Pyle splendid
opportunities for the use of his pencil as well as his
pan his pictures are novel and effective. William
H. Rideing contributes a charming article on
"The Land o' Burns"—Ayr and its neighborhood,
with many beautiful illustrations. In remem
brooms, of the "Glorious Fourth," a spirited and
exceedingly valuable narrative of "The Storming
of Stony Point," July 15. 1779, with illustrations,
is contributed by A. P. Johnston. _
This Number contains the first of a series of
papers covering the fifty years of American Art
from 1828 to 1878, by S. G. W. Benjamin. The
paper is illustrated with remarkably fine repro
ductions of paintings by Huntington, Wier,
Inman, Elliott, Grey, Baker, Le Clear, Mount,
Cole, Durand, Kensett, G. L. Brown, and Mignot.
James T. Fields contributes a humorous poem,
"The Owl Critic," which is accompanied by two
characteristic illustrations. There is another
illustrated poem, of a more sentimental character,
by S. 11. M. Byers, entitled "The Mowing ;" the
picture, drawn by Fredericks and engraved by
Wolf, is exquisitely beautiful.
The illustrated short story in this Number is
"A Romance of Easthampton," by A. A Hayes, Jr.
It is a bright and well-told love-story. Henry
James, Jr., contributes one of his very beet short
stories, "The Diary of a Man of Fifty." Edward
Everett dale is the a utLor of another short story,
"The Happy Island"—conveying a bit of good
humored and wholes ,me satire. Mi.s Muluck's
beautiful love-story, "Young Mrs. Jardine," is
continued.
E. P. Whipple contributes a very interesting
paper, "Recollections of Charles Sumner." cuu•
twining much r vel on. well, as entertaining meg-,
dutical matter, N
1 he editorial .lepartments of the Number supply
a rich food of entertaining and instrue , ice matter
concerning current social and literary topics. Fur
sale at the JOURNAL Store.
Probably the most important feature of the
July Scribner (and one to be continued in the
Midsummer Holiday number) is the reprint of the
celebrated engravings, made several years ago by
Mr. Henry Marsh, fur Harris' "insects Injurious
to Vegetation;"—a volume issued by the Maiiss.
chuse'tts State Board of Agriculture, and neces
sarily at such expense as to put it. beyond the
reach of the general public. Another illustrated
paper in this number, "The American on the
Stage," deals with a theme not before treated in
the magazine, viz The different attempts to
portray distinctively American characters. 'I he
ranks of the writers of good short stories receive
a new accession in Mrs. Mary Halleck Foote; the
artist, whose first printed effort in this line appears
in this number. Her story, "Friend Barten's
Tunoern,'". deals with the Quakers. For new
readers of Scribner, an additional. interest is lent
to the concluding part of "Madame Bonaparte's
Letters from Europe," by the publication of the
Stuart portraits of the writer and her husband,
whir.h.stere _printed in _Scribner some years ago,
and which any one who has read these letters will
be glad to see.' The third paper of the Rraz 1
series iiiieveted to t'An Indian Village on the
Amnion," which is described in a clear and accu
rate manner, from personal observation. Another
fully illustrated paper is Mr. W. H. Rideing's
"Trinity Parish" (New York), with( accounts of
the unique charities of this celebrated corporation.
uni.lustrated papers show a wide range, and
in 'Mole instances a seasonable Interest. The
poetry is contributed by Austin Dobson, R. 11.
Stoddard, T. W. Parsons, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,
Henry S. Cornwell and Joel Benton. In "Topics
of the Time," Dr. Holland discusses "Engraving
on Wood," "Mr. Kiddie's Book," and "College
Instruction; in "Communications," are "A
Woman's Thoughts op the Education of Women ;"
"Home and Society" treats of "Decoration of the
Dinner Table," "A Military Education at West
Point," etc. The Book notices have importance
and variety, and include a discussion of Matthew
Arnold's essays on Equality and Democracy.
"The World's Work" gives accounts of a "Novel
Method of Testing Iran Wire." "Improved Re
frigerating Apparatus," "New Method of Making
White Lead," "Removing Metallic Substances
from brain," etc., etc. "Bric-a-Brac" contains
some novelties within its well delined range of
fancy and humor.
St. Nicholas for July has eight extra pages and
more than eighty illustrations. It opens with a
country story, "Dru's Red; Sea," illustrated by
Walter Shirlaw with a pieture—the frontispiece of
the number—which shows the young heroine on
the road-side startled by an "old traveler."
Next comes "Nid-Nodding," a summer poem
by Lucy Lareom, followed by an illustrated ac
count of cod fishing from a small row-boat on the
Banks of Newfoundland. Farther on comes
"Blown Away," a thrilling story, with a spirited
picture of a thrilling railroad incident.
"Blossom-Boy of Tokio," an article by Professor
Griffis, tells of the curious ways of
Japanese children, and contains thirty-two draw
ings by Japanese artists in their odd style.
Mr. Moncure D. Conway contributes a story—
" The Child and the Image"—suggested by an
actual occurrence and illustrated with two pictures
by W. J. Hennessy.
The Fourth of July element finds expression in
a stirring "Patriotic March," a piano piece of
four little hands, composed by William K. Bass
ford; in "Rattle-te-bang," verses with huzzas and
drum-beats, in every line; and in "Hay-foot
Straw-foot!" an amusing picture of the drilling
of an awkward squad of recruits.
"Olories," by Sarah Winter Kellogg, with seven
of Addio I,edyard's lovely pictures, narrates the
happy fun of two children in is game with morn
ing-glory blossoms. "A Jolly Fellowship," Frank
It. Stockton's serial story, takes its heroes through
exciting diving episode, and leaves them aboard a
burning ship; and "Eyebright," the continued
tale by Susan Coolidge, brings its chief character
to the threshold of an adventure in a sea-cave.
Funny verses, comical pictures, gay jingles, a
page of bright contributions from the young folks
themselves, and Departments brimful of good
things, help to complete a number exactly suited
to summer-holiday reading.
The Phrenological Journal and Science of
Health, opens its sixty-ninth volume with a vari
ety of themes which must please every reader. A
sketch and excellent portrait of Dean Stanley first
attract the eye. Next we find a seasonable article
entitled Fire-Flies, in the course of which these
brilliant objects of the summer evening are well
described Two supposed organs of Temperature
and Bespirativeness are discussed by a critical
Phrenologist whose opinions incline him to accept
the first mentioned. The poem entitled "The
Innocent Sleep" exhibits Mrs. E. Oakes Smith's
facility in versification. "Making a Home," is an
article which fathers and mothers generally should
read with care. Place is given to Mrs. Lockwood,
the Washington lawyer: the portrait certainly
indicates a woman of marked intellectual ability.
The admirable articles entitled "Brain and Mind,"
are coptinued; the fresh installment relating to
the Education of Children. In our opinion this
series of articles should be published in volume
form. The suggestions given in their course are
much too valuable to be laid away with the old
numbers of the magazine upon the shelf of the
subscriber. Whether one accept She tenets of the
Phrenological system or not, he cannot fail to find
the philosophy of "Brain and Mind" of great
practical value. The closing chapters of Uncle
Jimmie the Cripple are as entertaining as the first.
In the Health .tepartment there are some good
suggestions with regard to rest and recreation,.
under the- title of The Philosophy of Reaction.
Simple Curvatures of the Spine are described and
well illustrated. A characteristic letter of Isaac
Pitman on Diet follows, and there wee also some
reminiscences by a Sontherb contributor, relating
to the recant yellow fever epidemic. The depart
ments headed Science and Agriculture, Mentorial,
Editorial, etc., appear to be more crowded than
usual, and treat of their several themes in a very
direct and instructive manner. The number
blossoms with numereus poems, some exhibiting
genuine merit. The Magazine is now published
at $2.00 a year or 20 cents a single number by
mail, post-paid. Address S; R. Wells .t Co., Pub

and the result is that the number of pseudo
remedies for it is as numerous as Pharaoh's
host. They are for the moat part worthless.
There is, however, a searching eradicant of
this distressing and obdurate malady, one
whose genuine merits long since raised it to a
foremost place among the staple medicines of
America. llostetter's Stomach Bitters extir
pates dyspepsia with greater certainty and
promptitude than any known remedy, and is a
most genial invigorant, appetizer and aid to
secretion. These are not empty assertions, as
thousands ofour country men and women who
have experienced its effects are aware, but are
backed up by irrefragable proofs repeatedly
laid before the public. The Bitters also pro
mote a regular habit of body and give a
healthful stimulus to the urinary organs.
