The Somerset Herald WF.PNEISPAT. Jane The Republican Contention cf Ohio, ea Wednesday last, nominated an able and popular State ticket, and adopted a strong platform of princi ples which all can subscribe to and Bopport without cavil. This means a solid Republican vote and an as sured victory. . General Coast is now anput ready to turn his face homeward. lie will leave Yohobomo by the next Pacific mail steamer about the last of June, and will reach San Francisco ;n thA neighborhood cf July 20. Ar rangements are being made by a number cf leading citiwns of the country to give him a grand recep tion on his arrival at San Francisco. Evib. since the Republicans abol ished the income tax the Democrats hare been anxious to restore it, and the movement for that purpose in the present Congress comes entirely from that party. The Southern Briga diers are especially anxious for its restoration, as the tax would fall principally on the North, and as they say, mate the d d Yankees pay the the cost of the war they forced on South. Ir at the close of the war, any man bad predicted that the generation then living would witness the whip ped rebels in control of the govern ment, he would have been deemed a erazv fooL Yet the rebel Briga diers have cot only control of both Houses of Congress, but on Friday last, whon the loyal people of the cation were strewing with flowers the graves of the heroes who died in that war for the preservation of the eovernmnt, theEe same rebel Briga diers were debating in the Capitol of the cation whether it waanotadnsa- tle to refuse appropriations for the maintenance of the army of the I nit ed States Now that the riot investigating committee at Ilarrisburg has reported thmt a!n members and others ;itr of violations of the u-. v - C J Constitution and laws of the State, h next cton ia order is to see that the violators are properly and prompt Jy punished. It is not to bs expect ed that private prosecutors will vol unteer to perform this service to tbe State. It is the clear duty of the LegislaUire to see that the Constitu tion and the laws are enforced, at (east so far as its guilty members are concerned, and he that dallies with Lis duty will be damned by all honest citizens of the State. The most braren piece of political seouadrelism proposed by the present Democratic Congress is that provid ing for counting the next Presidential vote. A Iloase Committee has agreed pon a bill providing that when here is a contest over tbe electoral vote of a State, it shall be determined by the Supreme Court of such State, tut that this decision shall not be Enal unless both Houses of Congress thall concur. In other words, no difference what the Supreme Court of any State may decide to be the law or that State, or who are the legally chosen electors for the State, Congress may annul the law of the State and set aside its legally chosen electors, This is bo DalDable an attempt to A i . give the present Congress, which will count the vote in 1881, tbe right Xo throw out enough Republican States to elect the Democratic candi date, that nothing but the sublimeBt cheek would enable any man to sus tain so glaring and rascally a propo sition, striking as it does too at the very root of State sovereignty, the wresent shibboleth of tbe Bourbon Democracy. It having been ascertained that large numbers of negroes desiring to emigrate north, are congregated at different points on the Mississippi river, and that under threats from the planters, steamboat owners are afraid and refuse to furnish them transports tion, General Conway called upon the President and desired to know whether, if vessels were chartered for the purpose of carrying these people to their destination the government would protect them in so doing. The President laving replied that it was Lis duty to see that the navigation jf that river was kept open and free, the spirit of the old slave drivers was at once aroused, and as a matter of course threats of resistance are openly made, and a sew rebellion foreshadowed, and equally as a matter of course, the Northern Democracy to be aiders and abettors of this troops a vessel chartered to transport the immigrants," then announces if he "carries out his intention there will be trouble," and quotea approv ingly the foolish and treasonable ad vise of the rebel General Chalmers, of Fort Pillow infamy, to the Governor of Mississippi, to arrest and imprison all on board. This is treason, inspired by the doctrine cf "States right" run mad. Mr. Hsyes "actually talks"' of pro tecting with tbe power cf the govern ment the citizens of one State their right to immigrate to another does he ? How dare Mr. Hayes talk of interfering with the sovereign right of the State of Mississippi to for bid any citizen from leaving her teni tory where he has been harried, and swindled and bulldozed and starved ! ! Imagine Governor Hovt saving to steamboat men on tbe Ohio, if you dare come to Fittsburch and carry away any immigrants from this State, I will seize and imprison you, and to the President, if you presume to protect these men in their claim to navigate the Ohio and transport ail passengers who may offer, "there will be trouble." The mere statement of the proposi tion shows its utter absurdity. But absurd as it is, beneath it lurks tbe smoldering embers of treason, that prove bow infinitely dangerous it would be to the perpetuity of the Union, to permit this so styled Demo cratic party, with its "States rights" doctrine to obtain entire control of tbe government.

Our Democratic brethren in Con gress are thinking eeriirjaly now of pissing tbe Apropri tion bill accord ing to the model prescribed by Hayes. After doing this tbey propose to blow a horn and "go to tbe country." Some of them will be likely to re main in the country when they get there. Sal aa Particular Saw. Fnm the Denver (Cut.) Trtlunt. A merchant in Jackson (Miss) was explaining to an old colored man that it was very unwise for him to go to Kansas, because it was a bleak, cold country, and the winters entire ly too severe for a tropical race. "Mars' Jones," asked the old fellow, "ain't dis Kansas dev are talkin about what dey osed to call 'Bleedin' Kansas V " Tbe merchant of course, 8id it was. "Well, da." said the old uncle, "wasn't you white frjis lighten' once because you wanted to take os Diggers to Kansas when we yo' property? 1 reckon 'tain't no colder for us now dn wben we wus property. You was mighty pariick- ler about yo' property in dem days! Eyah, yah !" The vetoes of President Hajes come like rifle shot, straight to '.be mark, solid, compact and irresistible. There is no fuss about them, and yet they are always filled with new ideas, even after a subject has been debated for months in both benses of Con gress. Tbey are short enough to be read by every intelligent citizen, and that is one secret of their remarkable power. Nevertheless, tbey present in clear and forcible form tbe entire argument asrainst toe measures ve toed. Tbey are as full of reasons as in !of pluck, and as full of pluck as an cg is cf meat Lrcry word is a blow, and every blow hits. Tbe veto f tbe Legislative bill states wubin ittle more than a single newsparjsr co imn, not only tbe es sence of all t e argument hitherto offered againsi ihe repeal of tbe Elec tion laws, but some points which hare escaped the attention cf debaters. Tbe quotation of tbe report of a Democratic Committee of tbe X LI V Congress is especially happy and forcible. Tbe brief and clear state ment of the President's reasons for holding the Election law constitu tional will stagger those who have been in the habit of loosely asserting, at every partisan emergency, that the law was "plainly "unwarranted by tbe Constitution," and it is quite enough to reply, as tbe President does, that many prosecutions, trials and convictions have been had under it, and yet no lawyer of repute enough to get a brief has ever dared to stake the case of his client upon a claim that tbe law was invalid. Nor has any Judge of any United States Coort questioned its validity in any reported case. The usefulness of the law in preventing frands is amply shown by the two reports in reference to elections in this city. At one dec tion, before tbe law was passed, i committee of Congress reported that 108 votes were cast for every 100 persons actually qualified to rote, and for every eighty-eight persons who act-ally voted. As the Message says, "I: was plain that if these "frauds could be continued and re "pcated with impunity, tree govern 'ment was impossible." Back of tbe question whether this particular statute is meritorious or not, lies tbe graver question whether tbe Nation scat! be stripped of all power to protect the purity of its own elections. The President makes very plain the intention of the Confederate Brigadiers to denationalize the Lni ted States ; to strip the Government of ali pjwfir save such ai it may ex ercise through or If sufferance of State authorities; and to cripplo and emasculate a statute wbich Congress does not venture wholly to repeal. It does not seem to him that tbe shadow of power, without tbe sub stance, should be all that ia left to the United States. It does not seem to hiui that these who failed to de stroy the Union by force should be left free to destrov it Lr fraud. In that opinion a solid North wiii bub tain the President 'Xeic York Trib are new crime.

This is as frank as it is true. .o demo crat honestly believes that with an honest ballot and a fair count tbe Empire State can b carried for the Democratic party. It is doubtful whether it has so been carried far years, and in some iD&tances the ev idence of tbe assertion here made is conclusive. The honest voters of tbe rural districts have always been more or less at the mercy of the repeaters of the metropolis, "if the Tammany managers couid ascertain how many votes it was necessary to create, be fore the result was abuounced, they have been created and tbe State "saved" to its enemies.

From the Mlua Airrrtitn Beji ) The Ohio resolutions very prcperly give tbe first place to the unity of the Nation and the supremacy of the Na tional Government in all matters placed by the Constitution under its control. Here the Democratic party, upon getting a foothold once more iq ths legislative branch of tbe Govern ment, has chosen to make its Grst at tack ; and here it will be met. It was on this issue tbat party went ont of power twenty ys.i ago, and tbe country has not so far orgoUsn tbe agonies of that time as to permit its revival now. In forcing a need lees and costly sessioa of Congress for partisan objects exclusively; in agitating questions affecting the cur rency and public credit in a manner to cause general anxiety ; in attempt ing to coerce the executive under a menaoce of starving tbe Government, and ail tcis in tbe interest ot a rcheme.to disfranchise a portion of the voters of the countrr, and secure tbe permanent ascendancy ol a ino rUy not in sympathy with the spirit of th Jaws and Constitution, the; Democracy have offered a challenge which Repuutuaitf everywnere win gladly accept, as it fee.i been ac- cepted in Ohio. j l.ar Wfcai I7 Ttotf Blraar III Onara far Demorrattf.

The United States decennial en sue has never been aUraa-tie liter i- ture for tbe Democratic party, ll has always been tbe ill-omened raven perched on the clock of history, and hoarsely croaking presages of its coming doou. The rebellion was fought against tbe foresbado wings of tbe census, which wiiheaefe sucessive decade registered the long suites of a silent but mighty revolution that had transferred the scepter of politi cal poKr from the Slave States of the South to the Free States of the North, and was rapidly increasing tbe relative political weight qf tbe lat ter. I nder all tbe scbemings of fro litieians and parties for tbe mastery of tbe Government ibis silent revolu tion has been goicg on, like the building of the coral reeis under tbe wares. Whatever party rules this Government after the next apportion ment, it will hoi. ixr power by tbe will of Cue patriot! ktatS of the North, in which the seatioxents of nationality and the principles of free government prevail, and no party can hereafter maintain tU hold on Con gress or tbe Executive brnacii of the Government unless it be Northern that is to say National in its spirit, principles, and aims. As was expected, tbe President has returned tbe Legislative Appro priation bill unsigned, and in the ac coropanying message bis objections are stated with tbat precision and logical strength which have become characteristic. There was, indeed, little roosi for doubt as to tbe proper line of argument to pursue. By their amendments to tbe vetoed .till the Democrats bad aimed at neutralising tbe wholesome supervision wbich tbe Federal government at present exer cises over tbe conduct of Congres sional elections. Their action was prompted by the same spirit as that which in ISO I led to tbe secession of tbe sontbern States and precipitated tbe war of tbe rebellion, it was quite in keeping with the traditions of tbe Democratic party. The hos tility of that party to the national government is coeval with its exist ence, tai this attempt at transferring to the several jttates the authority wbicb belongs to the U nited States alone is no more than its latest wan ifeetation. Yet in the;r proposed repeal of tbe election- laws the advocates of Each action were influenced by a double motirA, Not only did tbey design to increase the power of single States at tbe expeusa of J-edrJ authority, but they also intended to obj aia eh a control of the ballots as would ena ble them to roll up majorities otter wigs unobtainable. Conscious of their real weakness, tbey appreciated tbe necessity of ridding tbemselves of a supervision so materially inter tering with tbe success of operations I upon wbich their supremacy in Con gress aej2i. So tbey raised a great cry about Cifl sacred ness of State rights, and tbe improwiey of lie federal government concerning itself n tie election of tbe body that mates ib feaeraj laws. - jcey worfcea tbemselves up in a ne jren zy of indignation over tbe oppression involved in checking tbe industry of New ork repeaters, and exclaimed aloud against the despotism wbmb protected tbe colored voter of tbe south in the exercise of the freed- mao'w privilege. Then they tacked od amena ( Jo an appropriation bill repealing lla aw; which they found so inconvenient, ng as tj av erage Democratic politician never learns anything, it is even possible tb(taoof tbem saw nsions of a coerced signaler. They know better tap. The Pres ident makes short work of tv la bored arguments, and goes clear to 1 the root of the matter.

It originated under tbe stair way leading from the first to the second floor the main entrance. It was discovered by the porter and a border a commercial traveller. Bells were rung and the alarm given by mouth. The fire department respond ed, in the meantime tbe flames burn ed tbe stairway, cutting off all the means of escape from tbe main build ing. There are 42 transient board ers and 30 regular ones in the house, including tbe family and attaches. The latter, knowing tbe house, got out safely ; but the former, bewilder ed, appeared to lose all presence oi mind. Some climbed down shutters, others by the spouting, and many jumped and escaped in tbeir night dresses. When the fire department arrived the flames were bursting out everywhere ; but, owing to the scarci ty of water, they were of little value, and tbe firemen turned their atten tion to saving tbe people on tbe ad joining roofs, and in other positions by means of ladders, and in saving tbe surrounding property. The fire was confined to tbe Washington House, which was totally destroyed. THOMAS TROX ELL'S BGPT FOUND.

Washington, May 20 The fol lowing message of tbe President was delivered to tbe House of Representa tives today: To the Home of Repretentaiice : Sirs After mature consideration of the bill entitled "An act making ap propriations for tbe Legislative, Ex ecutive and Judicial expenses of the Government for tbe fiscal year ending June 30, 1830, and for other pur pases, " I herewith return It to the House of Representatives, in wbicb it originated, with the following ob jections to its disapproval : Tbe main purpose 01 tbe bill is to appropriate tbe money required to support during the next fiscal year the several departments of the Gov ernment Tbe amount appropriated exceeds in tbe aggrigate eighteen millions of dollars. Tbis money is needed to keep in operation the es sential functioos of all the great de partments of the Government, Legis lative, Executive and Judicial. It the billd containe no other provisions, no objection to its approval would be made. It embraces, however, a com ber of clauses relating to subjects of great general interest, wbicb are wholly unconnected with tbe appro priations wbicb it provides for. lbe obiections to tbe practice of lackiog general legislation to appropriation bills, especially wben tbe ooject is to deprive a co-ordinate brancn ot ice Government of its right to tbe free exercise ot us own olecranon ana judgment touching such general legie lation, were set lortn in tne special message in relation to House bill No. 1. which was returned to tbe House of Representatives on tbe 29ih ol last month. I regret that tbe otjec tions which were then expressed to this method of legislation have not seemed to Congress ot sufficient weight to dissuade from this renewed incorporation of general enactments in an appropriation 0111, and mat my constitutional duty in respeet to gen eral legislation thus placed before me cannot be discharged witcout seem ing delay, however briefly, the neces sary appropriation by Congress fur the support of tbe Government. Witboul repeating thoe objections, J respectfully refer to that message for a statement of my views en th principle maintained in the debate by the advocates of this bill, vi Tbat "to withhold appropriations is a constitutional means for tbe redress" of what the majority of tbe House of Reoresentatives may regard as a "grievance."

It also detains clauses amending sections jV1T, 2,019, i 023 and 9.031 f the Revised Statutes. The section of the Revised Stat utes wbicb the bill, if approved, would repeal or amend, are part of an act approved May 30, 13i0, aod amended January 28, 1871, entitled "An act to enforce the rights ol citizens of tbe United States to vote in f)e sejrera yt1??

Tbe object of the bill is to destrov any control whatever by the United States over Congressional elec tions. The passage of this bill has been urged upon tbe ground tbat tbe elec tion of members of Congress is a mat ter wbich concerns States alone ; that these elections should be controlled exclusively by States ; tbat there are and can be no such elections as na tional election", and tbat tbe existing law of the United States regolatiog Congressional elections ia without warrant in the Constitution. It is evident, however, the framers of the Constitution regarded the election of members of Congress in every State and ia every district as, in a very im portant sense, jmtly a matter of po litical interest and concern to the whole country. Tbe original provi sion of the Constitution on this subject is as follows : "Section 4, article 1. The times, places and manner of holding elec tions for Senators and Representa tives shall be prescribed in each State by me Legislature thereof, but Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, ex cept to places of choosing a Sena tor." A further provision has since been added, wbich is embrsced in tbe Fifteenth amendment It is as fol lows : "Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State, on account of ra:e, color or previous condirion of servitude. "Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY. Under the general provision oi tbe Constitution (section four, article one) Congress in 1806 passed a com prehensive law, wbich prescribed a toll abd detailed regulation for tbe election cf Senators by the Legiala tures of tbe several States. Tbis law has been in force almost thirteen years. In pursuance of it all the members of the present Senate of the! United Slates hold their seats. Its constitutionality is not called in ques tion, It is confidently believed that no sound argument can be made in support of tbe constitutionality of tb national regulation of beoatoria elections which will not show tbat tbe elections of members of tbe House of Representativea may also be con stitutioaallv regulated by national authority. The bill before me itself recognizes tbe principle that the Congressional elections are not State elections, but National elections. It leaves in full force tbe existing statute under which supervisors are still to be eppointed by national authority to "observe and witness" Congressional elections, whenever due application is made by citizens who desire said elections to be "guarded and scrutinized." If the power to aupervise in any respect whatever tbe Congressional elections exists, nnder section lour, article one of the Constitution, it is a power which, like every otber power belong ing to the Government of the United States, ia paramount and supreme, and includes the right to employ the necessary means to carry it into effect. Tne statutes ot tbe L-nuea states, which regulate the election of mem hers of tbe House of Representatives, an essentia part of wbicb v, is pro posed to repeal by this bill, bave been n force about eight years, four Congressional elections bave been held uoder tbem. two ot wbicb were at tbe Presidential elections of 1ST aod 187G. Numerous prosecutions, trials and convictions bave been held in the courts of the United States in all parts of the Union for violations of these laws. In no reported case has tbeir constitutionality been called in question .by aJ Joclge of lbe couVls'of the United States. Tbe validity of tbcBe laws is sustained by tbe uniform course of judicial ac lion and opinion.

' All that will be ! left to aupcrvisors is permission to have such oversight of elections as political parlies are in the habit of exercising, without any authority 0! If it is urged tbat tbe United States election laws are not neces sary, an 'ample reply is furnished by the history of tbeir origin and of tbeir results. Tbey were especially prompt ed by tbe investigation and exposura bf frauds committed fn tbe city and S"tate It ew orF !fr rf1? ei.dction of 1$6?. tommittees representing ootn of tbe jeadiog political parties of tbe country have submitted reports to lbe House of Repra-&tati7S of tbe extent of those frands. A committee of tbe Fortieth Congress, after a full investigation, reached the conclusion thaf, tbe number of fraudulent votes cast jn tbe City of 2ew York alone in iy63 was not less than 2q,000. A committee of the Forty-fourth Con gress, in tbeir report, snDmitted in 1877, adopted the opinion that for every one hundred actual voters of the City of New York in 1303, one hundred and eight votes were cast, when in fact the number of lawful votes cast could not have exceeded eighty-eight per cent of tbe actual voters oltpe c?ty. JJy this statement tbehnnroer of,frafluleni rotas at that election, in lh4 'pity of New York alone, 'was between thirty and forty ton-ind. These frands com pletely reversed the result of the ejection jo the Sutp of Ne York, botj) as Q the pbojcfl of Governor and State officers, nod as to (.be cboipe of electors of President and Vice Presi dent of tbe United States. Tbey at tracted the attention of tbe whole country. It was plain that if tbey could be continued and repeated with Imbnpity ftoa government was im- poSSlble . - A distinguished Sena'or, ij impos ing the passage of tbe election laws, declared be had for a long lime be fief ed enr form of government was a comparative faijifie fq arga pities To meet these evils, and prevent these erlmes, the United Shte4 lews regelating Congressional elfCtbni werauenacted. The trainers of ibeet- aoifitcd iu EFFECTUAL 81 TERVISImN. This bill recogoizes lbe authority and duty of tbe United States to ap point supervisor to guard and scru tiuiz9 Congressioaal election", but it denies to tbe Government ot the United States all power to make its supervision effectual. Tbe great body of the people cf all parties want free and fair elections. Tbey do not think that a free election means free (1 m from wholesome restraints ol law, or that tbe place cf an election should be a sanctuary fcr lawless nets aod crime. Ou the day of an election peace aod good order are more necessary than on any otber day of the year. Ua that day tbe bum blest aod feeblest citizens, aged aod lofiim, should be and should bar reason t j feel that ihev are safe tbe exercise of tbeir most responsible duty and their most sacred right, as members of society, their duty aod tbeir right to vote. Tbe constitutional aolbority regola'.e Congressional elections, wbicb belongs to lbe United States aad wlica it is necess ry to exert t secure lbe right to vote to every citizen possessing the requisite qoal ificaliou, ought to be enforced by ap propnatrj legislation. fej far from public cpinion in anv part cf the ceuutry favoring any re taxation of lbe authority of the Gov ernmeot in tbe protection of elec lions from violcoce aod eorroptioo I believe it demands great vigor both in tbe enactment and in tbe execution of laws framed for tbat purpose. Any oppression, any partisan , partiality, which experience may cave shown in tbe working cf existing laws, may well engage tbe careful attention both of Congress aod of tbe Executive, in tbeir respective spheres of duty, for tbe correction of these mischiefs As no Congressional elections oc cur until after the regular session of Congress will have been held, there seems to be no public exigency that would preclude a reasopable consid eration at that session cf any admin istrative details tbat might improve tbe present methods designed for the protection ot all citizens in the com plete and equal exercise of tbe tight and power ot suffrage at sucn elec tions. But with my views both of tbe constitutionality and of tbe val ue of existing laws, I cannot approve any measure for tbeir repeal, except with tbe connection with the enact ment ol otter legislation which may reasonably be expected to afford wis er and more efficient safeguards tor free and honest Congressional elec tions.

Washington, Mar 28, The de clared intention of General Coo way to proeeed with chartered boats to remove negroes from the Misrissiopi A alley under the alleged advice aod promised protection of tbe President has created much indignation among tbe members of tbe Mississippi aod Louisiana delegations. Several mem bers representing these delegations bave called on the President since tbe publication bf the Qonway ' in terview and protested against the use made of bis name in the matter. Tbe President, however, assured those calling on him in connection with tbe affair tbat be had not ad vised Mr. Conway to make aoy such movement Representatives King, Ellis and Wilson, of Louisiana, to day, in conversation with President Haves on tec subject, represented to him that, from Mr. Conway's report of bis declarations with regard to tbe exodus, the impression would be cre ated that he (the President) favored the exodos, and wonld extend gov ernment aid in furtherance ol R The reply of tbe President was in substance that uotbiog whatever bad transpired in his interview with Mr. Conway wbicb could bear such a construction. His onlv declaration was that the navigation of tbe Mis sissippi river should be free aod re main unmolested. Tbe President ex pressed the opinion tbat while any citizen, wbite or colored, bad a per fect right to migrate from one por tion ol the country to-" another, it would certnldljbe ver uriforlubatZ for large masses of colored people to proceed to any one particular section oi the' country, aod if tbey saw fit to retrain if woJd, ia hfs oj;iaion;' bp better if they could be generally set; tied throughout the entire country. He expressed no opinion as t the policy or wisdom cf tbe present Southern exodus. Upon being in formed by Mr. King ibat aa imprest sioo was'being conveyed among tbe colored people of bis dUtriat tbat tbe government would sustain them in migrating westward, lbe President said tbat there was no foundation whatever for tbe circulation of such an idea.
