The grounds taken by Mr. Hayes in his vetoes and by the Republicans in Congress with respect to the military power may be summarized as follows : The President may send the army into any State to operate against any portion of the people without regard to tho civil authorities, either State or na tional. He may do this at his own pleasure ; ho is not required to wait for the call of the Legislature, or of the Governor, when the Legislature cannot be convened, to put down opposition to the State laws, or (or certificate ol the Federal judiciary, notifying him that the execution of laws of the l'nited States is opposed by combina tions "too jiowerful to bo suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceed ings, or by the powers vested in the marshal." The advocates fl{ strong government sustain this |>osilion. It certainly, if uccepted, would make the administia lion strong —strong to such an extent that life, liberty aud property would no longer be held ill this country, except at its mercy. The President would be a military despot, whose powers would be measured only by the number of his I battalions. \V edo not propose at prts ent to discuss the legality of this inon- | stroux pretence. We refer to it merely | to expose the audacity of the fraud they i practise when they dare to quote the great name of George Washington in its support. Mr. llayes in his message, Mr Conkling in his Brooklyn speech, and many ignorant or reckless spouters following their lead, refer to Washing ton's so-called suppression of the Whis key Insurrection as an illustration of their methods. Let us lookout that case. In the four counties of Pennsylvania lyiug around the head of the Ohio river and in the neighboring counties of Yir- ! ginia there was developed in I7'.'-l serious opposition to the Federal Excise ! law. It bore very cruelly upon the in- ! habitants of that country, and was in ! truth unjust and oppressive. Th>-y re- j monstrated and petitioned in vain. The ' State took up their cause nnd pressed it with the same result. Alexander Hani- ! ilton, Secretary of the Treasury, and chief of the Federalist party, wax deal 1 to their entreaties, and his influence • wax sufficient to prevent any modifica tion ol the act. The Ohio River was closed by almost perpetual Indian wars. St. Clair's de lect had sealed up Congress in that di rection, and Wayne's campaign was in course of preparation. YV ith the East there wax no communication except by pack horses over the rugged and dan gerous trails across the Allegheny Moun tains. To accommodate their produce to this method of transportation to market, the people were compelled to make their grain into whiskey, and almost every farm had its distillery. Hut the tax ate up the profits. A gal lon of whiskey worth a dollar in the Fast was worth but fifty cents there; yet it paid the same tax. For a long lime there was no serious attempt to enforce the law in this outlying border land, and owing partly at least to the neglect of Government, the farmers be gan to distil without regard to it. Then when alter a long time men were found willing to take office in the revenue service, and execute the obnoxious law against their fellow citizens, the delin quents were summoned to answer, not before a court and jury of the vicinage, but at Philadelphia, the seat of the Federal Government. This meant wide spread ruin to the people, as well ax un necessary and cruel rigor on the part of the Administration, and that was the feature which provoked the few discon nected act* of mob violence which Fed eralist writers hare dignified with the name of an Insurrection. Out of forty warrant* at one time in the hands of the marshal, thirty-nine liad been peacefully served, when he undertook to serve the last in a partic ularly offensive manner opon a mnn surrounded by friends aud neighbors in n haryest field. The marshal wax com |>el!ed to retire in some haste; the house of the inspector wax burned, and the officials, like carpel bigger* of these modern day*, betook themselve* to Philadelphia, where they assiduously wnd malignantly magnified the disturb ance. To the evil influence of these "'exiles," backed by the ruthless pur ■pose of Hamilton, who saw in it the V -opportunity he sought to exhibit the •coercive strength ot the new Govern ment, may be attributed the needles* military expeditions and the brutal outrage* committed upon the |>eople. Washington was made to believe that the whole Western country w*s ablaze with actual insurrection, lie had only the account* of the exile* and the artful and effective report of Hamilton for hi* information. Hut be moved with the utmost reluctance. He did not claim the power to hurl an army upon the so called insurgent* without legal prelim inaries. He was notified by the United Mate* District Judge that he found "upon evidence laid before him" that the combination was too powerful to be dealt with by the court*. Upon this he called out the militia of Pennsylvania and the adjoining States, issued a proc Isolation commanding the evil disposed to desist, and in conjunction with the Governor of the Mute seat a commission to them to bear their grievances, and offer them pardon and amnesty. When the Commissioners srrived they found the people more than Wil ling to accept the terms offered them. They were met by a committee author ized to negotiate for the so-called insur gents. That committee reported their agreement to the standing committee + at Brownsville, which promptly accept ed it, and two week* later it was unani mously accepted by a full congress of delegates from all the counties at Park inson's Ferry. Everything was acceded to, everything promised, down to the signing of individual pledges, on a given day, by the whole population. If it could be said that this was erer an In aurrection, iln backbone wax broken; the people were eager to support the Government on the terras extended; sheriffs volunteered to execute process en ; tho really guilty took their rillcx and tied into the wilderness, mid the coun try wax a h peaceful and ax loyal ax it ix to-day. Hut the "exilex" wore not xntixfied. They wanted to return in triumph, and with power to wreak their revenge*. Hamilton had another purpose—a pur pose which he had cherished from tho iirxt, and pursued with cold calculation to tho end. Ho dotermined to mako this the occasion of some signal display of the "power of military coercion. Notwithstanding the submixxion of the people and the end ol the disturbance, which lind been styled an insurrection, tho army, fifteen thousand strong, marched.und Hamilton marched with it. George Washington never drtw any paper with such anxious care as he be stowed u|in his instructions to Gen. Lee, tho commander. The militury was to bo held in absolute subordination to the civil authority. No man was to be molested, except upon ft warrant tegu larly issued. A l'nited States Judge accompanied tho expedition to avoid every excuso of military usurpation. Hut these solemn orders were in vain, t'nee over tho mountains, Hnmilton pushed them uxide nnd ignored them. Ho organized a commission upon a per fectly original plan, of which ho took the head, and at the tail of which ho placed tho timid ami submissive Feder al -Fudge whom he had jri hix train. Tho other members were tho District Attorney, tho inspector, oneof tho "ex iles," and a light-horseman. They paid j no regard to law or rules. They bullied J tho witnesses, and even tortured them. The examinations, many of thorn, were for all tho world like those of Jeffreys on the ltloody Assizes, just as the subse quent military proceedings were like those of Kirk. Occasionally Secretary I Hamilton broke the monotony of these brutal examinations by a secret inquisi tion of his own, as in the case of Brack enridgo, when no one was present but the accused and his own self appointed judge. At length Mr. Hamilton found him- , self ready to make the "signal display" of power about which ho was so much concerned, and to strike terror into the hearts of the unresisting people. The night of tho 13th of November, 17'.*4, was selected for the blow. It makes the heart swell and the blood loil to think of it even at this distance of time. Hetween midnight and daybreak the whole country wax raided simultaneous ly by the dragoons; three hundred of tho most respected citizens wore seized in their beds, and hundreds of families reduced to the direst distress. Hamil ton had succeeded. Those were indeed hours of terror. Tho strength of the j Government was felt in a manner never to be forgotten : and, ever since, that has been known in Pennsylvania's his tory nnd tradition as the "dreadful night." The prisoners were not permitted to j ride their own horses or to supply them- i •elves with any of the comforts or even necessaries of life. They were driven like cattle through the muddy roads, and beaten nnd reviled at every step. At night some of them were stalled like beasts in stables, and one officer direct ed the mangers to be filled with oats and raw meal for their refreshment. In the wet cellar of the public house at Parkinson's forty were tied back to back, and left to welter in mud and j darkness, without food, light or fire for ; forty eight hours. Their fellow citizens i and the soldiers were alike forbidden to relieve the sufferings of these unfortu- > nale ;>eople. All these men were taken without warrant. The seizure was as lawless as it was indiscriminate and cruel. It was in flat violation of Washington's orders but it waa in strict accordance with Hamilton's notions of the powers of a "strong government." Eighteen of the ; prisoners were driven on foot to l'hila- : delphia—a inarch of thirty days—and paraded through the streets with slips of paper marked "Insurgent" on their hats. Against some of them the <>rand Jury, foreign to their vicinage and j-o --litically hostile as it was, failed to find bills. None were convicted. So ended the Whiskey Insurrection, j The name of Hamilton, the Federalist, , was for many years spoken among the husbandmen of that lonely land with bated breath like that of f'laverhouse among the Presbyterians of Scotland. •>n the whole, wo should aay that the "strong government" men of to-day will take little by the reopening of this dark chapter of our early history. ♦ How Many People llae Fifty Hollars. Frmn lh- New York Graphic. Some one said the other day that in ! the entire world the number of people who had #SO or its equivalent in cash at their command was extremely small;! so small, indeed, that altogether they would not outnumber the inhabitants of the little kingdom of Helgitim, which has a population of 6,000,000 souls. Hut this estimate appears to be far be low the mark in the light, for instance, of (he fact that in the savings bank* of France in 1877 there were dej>oaited no less than 1153,800,000 by 2,863,283 de positors, the average sum of each de positor being about #f>o. The nurolier of these depositors continually increas es, and they are, to a very large extent, members of the working classes. So in Kngland, also, the number of depositors in the (KMtal savings bank is very large —not less, on the whole, than two mil lions—and their deposits, on an average, amount nearer to £SO, the limit allow ed, than t%|so. In Scotland and Ire land the savings of the people are large and constantly increase, tn Germany the people do not generally place their savings in banks, but they have com fortable little turns laid away in teapota and old stockings. Thia also is the case in France. In this country the number of people who have #SO at their com mand mutt amount to quite as many at in either France. Germany or Great Britain. The world of working people it not nearly at poor at many imagine it to be. Hoya, it ia not funny to apeak disre spectfully of religion. Harm ia done by everything which tends to vulgarise it. Everything that savors of levity, in con nection with this subject, ought to ex cite the deepest repugnance. bishop Whipple nn the Indian Problem and the Great Northwest. Uyk, N. Y.,* October 28.—Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, delivered an address last evening, in Christ Church, upon the subject of Indian missions, particularly the one with which lie was connected. The Bishop said he was once fold upon the steps of the Capitol at Washington tliut his efforts in he half of the Indians would lie a failure. But he was not discouraged. His duty was plaiu before him, his trust was in Cod, and the result has been the conversion and civilization of thou sands, and the gathering together of a church property iu his diocese valued at $200,000. Many of these converted Indians were now preaching the Gospel, and everywhere, even among the feathers and war paint, there was a respect for religion. The sjsaikcr paid a warm tribute to the Indians he had labored among regarding their honesty and faithful observance of treaty obliga tions, and lie more than intimated that very many of the trouble* with the red iiii-u were not the result of unfaith fulness on their |uirt, hut a wing of honor on the |iart of oyrsclve*. (>n one occasion he visited uii old chief, StO years of age, perhaps, or over, from whose lips he heard a sad tale of the wrongs his people liari suf fered at the luiiais of the polo-faces. Placing his hand in his bosom, the aged chief drew there from a treaty madejn 1*23 or '2-* i, with the authori ties at Washington, which the Indian had religiously observed until it was broken by the white man. "The white man lied," said the chieftain, and the same "lies" were rejs-ated iu the successive treaties that followed. "I do not blame the gn at father," said he, "but those who represented him. They have broken what was solemnly j promised, and the hurni that has fol lowed the red man was not responsible for. Here," he ccntinued, "you are going to Washington ; take this pi|>e, j it is the pipe of pence. 1 want you to j take it in person to the great father: j enter door after door, until vou find him—trust it with no one else —and | tell him it represent* a sacred oath of; | >cace on the jarl of the Indians.' Custer's massacre was the result of , treachery on the part of the white j man. I lie speaker could not say pos* itively what was the cause of the re- j cent trouble with the I tes, hut iu his j own mind there was something that required an investigation on our part j if we would chair ourselves with hon or. Si far as his observation had ex-1 tended, and wherever he had la-en, he lind heard the I "tes spoken of iu the very highest terms as a race far above ; tin- average Indian. In his own mind | lie was not prepared to say they* were i guilty, and some of our officer* in tbr anny held the same views, t Ine ul j our commander* recently told him that it was no hardship to tight an enemy, hut it was hard to fight against the right. The Bishop alluded to an Indian fair to which he was invited and which he attended. There wen- the representatives of many thousands of bushels of wheat, corn, potatoes and other products, all raised by the civil ised Indians. Indians waiter! uj*>n the fair. Indians were the doorkeejs'rs and Indians were the policemen, and nil were attired in the American dress. A Senator of the United State* wi his companion at the fair, and both were delighted with what thev saw ; but what struck the Senator still more forcibly was the solemn reverence of the Indians soon after, when engaged iu the worship of the Great Spirit. Regarding the fertility of the new Northwest, the Bishop remarked that were the grain crop of the Atlantic States to I*- an utter failure, the new- North west could feed the whole coun try and have plenty to spare. And he made this further remark : that the day was not far distant when the peo ple of the wonderful region of which lie was the missionary repn-sentative 'of the Episcopal Church would dic tate the government of the United States. The |H-opl<- of the Atlantic States had no conception of the vast and powerful territory that lav beyond the hanks of the Mississippi, A whole cluster of the Northern States put to gether would be but as a town com pared with even some of the mission ary district* of the new Northwest. Emigrant* were (muring in from every oiinrter —the States, England, Ireland, Russia, and even from Iceland. Many of these are men of broken-down for tunes, but they soon recu|ierato and become valued citizens. One Thing Hemonstrated. fe.tn th# Clofltol PhlwlMlw, The election has dcmonstrati-d one thing which ought to lie engraved on the tablet of every Democrat's mem ory and that is that so far as the Re publicans are concerned their cry for the soldier is merely a party rallying cry—only this and nothing more. By their Federal and other appointment*, by their elections of Congressmen and other officials all over the North, they have shown that they are absolutely nothing for the soldier except when it is convenient to use him. They reckon a red-handed, murdering reliel guerrilla, like Mnsby, among their saints if he becomes a Republican, hilt denounce a brave ami gallant Union soldier like Kwing as n rebel, and a hero who was mutilated in de fense of the old flag like Rice a trai tor and vote for a stay-at-home.

She has been secretly engaged M'• Kawson for some time, hut hi* attentions to her had been bitterly opposed by her father. A Buffalo correspondent of the New York Tint'* says that it is stated that Mr. Colt was under fiuan- j eial embarrassment, and that he had planned, in order to obtain relief, to have his daughter united iu marriage with a young man of Buffalo, Timo thy Glaxsford, who, by the terms of a will made by his father, (he was one of the wealthiest gamblers in Buifiilo when he died) is to inherit S3<),(MHI when he become* 2o ye*ar* of age.

S*in The Memphis quarantine has l>een raised at last by the appearance of frost and ice. Since the disease broke out there have been aloiut fifteen hun dred eases, and ls twecn four and five hundred death* there from it. This, ; however, represents hut a small J*" - - tion of the losses suffered by the afflict ed community. Thousands of people have been driven from their homes ill to an ex|>eii*ive exile, the costs and inconvenience of which they could ill Isar. All business ha lieen susjiend i-d for mouths, and the city cut off from all but telegraphic communica tions with the world outside. The dreadful scenes of 1878 were repeated in 187ff, on a smaller scale, to Ire sure, for the reason that there were fewer persons to tAke the disease. The ques tion is: Will the yellow fever return to Memphis in 1880? If it should, the proposition to aliandoti the present site of the city for one which is less thoroughly saturated with the gerin* of pestilence will probably bescrioudy considered. < >ne of the best and most energetic business men of Memphis, who is universally respected and trusted by the citizens of the place, said not long ago that be liked Mera | phi* very much a* a place of residence aud to do busiueiw in, that he had had the fever twice and considered himself pretty well acclimated, hut if it broke out there agnin next season he meant ( to depart permanently and take his household good* elsewhere. He did | uot find equal to the intense mental 1 strain to which such scene* a* he had i l>een witnessing during the fever years exposed ,him. Doubtless this gentle man's feeling is shared by many more business men of Memphis, and if the city should lose in this way some of it* most enterprising citizens it would suffer from a greater calamity even than the visit* of the fever. These arc jicriodical and intermittent, but the voluntary migration of a town's best citizens is a permanent and total low. Hence it becomes of the utmost import ance for the iicople of Memphis to know in good time —at ooce, in fisct — whether the sanitary measures which are being pursued there, and which were scarcely relaxed during the height of the pestilence, are of such a charac ter and so efficient a* to insure the im munity of the city from a return of the plague next year aud its safety in the immediate future, and until an effective and energetic permanent mu nicipal government shall have been established. The "taxing district" of Memphis notoriously ha* had no l funds to expend in large sanitary op • ration#, hor can much aid be ttxpet ed from the national board of health. Marly in the last spring, however, the energetic citizens and buim-s in'-n of the town took the matter in their own bandit and proceeded to act independ ently ot the erippled muuici|Ktl ma chiue. 'lhey appointed cart-fully se lected committees to lav out work and nee it well "lone, to collect funds and disburse them with intelligence and economy. These committees were in the midst of their work last summer when the pestilence broke out. These works include the closing and tilling |up of several thousand vaults and their defecation with lime and other disinfectants, with the substitution of earth closets instead of them. They include the improvement of the sources of the drinking water, many of the cisterns being hopelessly foul. Mem j phis cannot yet afford to construct i js ruiancnt water-works, hut has a par tial supply of water from Wolf river I through private enterprise, which may la; extended to general use, ihougft the removal of the vaults and changing 1 of the cisterns may go far also to ob viate future difficulties. The citizens j have also undertaken and exja-et to I complete by next seas';n the cleansing |of the filthy bayou which traverses the c ity, ami the removal of the worst j of the rotten wooden pavements, with j the substitution in their stead of ma i eadarnized or sanded and graveled | roadways. These various improve i menu have been steadily pushes! and will be energetically carried forward during the coming w inter and sjiing, so that it is to be hoped that 3J< luplm may la- made secure against another i visit of the dreadful plague until time has la-en gained to jK-rmanetitly insure all the Mississippi towns against the yellow fever. "SOMEBODY EOVEH ME." A BTOKY W ITH A (,OOD MollAl. (OS SBCTKII W ITH IT. fr'/tn ).- I'litl*)* I|.liw Pre* I.il Borne two or three years ago the SujK-rintendent of the Little Wander* t-r's Home, in U , received one ! morning a request from the Judge that he would come to the Court Mouse. He complied direetiv, ami found there a group of seven little girls, ragged, dirty and forlorn, beyond what even he was accustomed to see. The Judge, pointing to tbcm (utterly homeless and friend less), said : "Mr. T , cau you take any of ! these ?" "Certainly, I can take them all," was the prompt reply. "All! What in the world cau you do with them ?" "I'll make women of them !" The .ludgc singles! out one, even worse in apj*ranoc than the rest, and asked again : "What will you do with that one?" !, "I'll make a woman of her," Mr. : T repeated, firmly and hope j fully. j They were washed nud dressed and provided with a supper aud beds, i The next morning they went into the - school-room with the children. Marv was the name of the little girl whose chance for better things the Judge thought small. During the forem>on the teacher said to Mr. T in f reference to her ; "I never saw a child like that. I have tried for an hour to get a smile and have failed." Mr. T said afterward, hiru j self, that her face was the saddest he j had ever seen—sorrowful beyond ex - i prewion ; yet she was a very little I girl, only five or six years old. After school he called her into his office and said, pleasantly : "Mary, 1 have lost my little pet. I used to have a little girl here that would wait on mo, and sit on mv knee, ; and I loved her very much. A kind ladv and gentleman have adopted her, 1 and I should like for you to take her place, and be my pet now. Will you ?" A gleam of light fiittcd over the poor child's face, and she began to un derstand him. He gave her ten cents and told her she might go to the store mar by and get some candy. While she was out he took two or three news pajiers, lore them in pieces, and scat toivd them about the room. When j she returned he said : "Mary, will you clear up my office a ' little for me, and pick up the paper, and see how nice vou can make it ; look r She went to work with a will. A I little more of this kind of management ' —in fact, treating her as a kind father i would—wrought the desired result. : She went into the school-room after dinuer with so changed a look and j bcariiuz that the teacher was astonish ed. The child's face was absolutely ; radiant. She went to her and said : "Mary, what is it? What makes - j you loolc so happy ?" I "Oh, I've got some one to love nie!" I the child answered earnestly, as if it were heaven come down to earth. That was all the sccreC For want i of love that little oue'a life had been so cold and desolate that she had lost childhood's beautiful faith and hope. She could not at first believe in the reality of kindness or joy for her. It was the certainty that some one had loved her and desired afTection that ' lighted the child's soul and glorified i her face. i Mary has since been adopted by • wealthy people and lives in a beauti i ftil house ; but more than all its beauty r and comfort, running like a goldeu i thread through it all, me still finds the ■ love of her adopted father ami mother.
