SENTINEL & REPUBLICAN MIFFLIN! OWN. tVednen!ajY May 21, 179. B. F. SCnWEIER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. In rrtn:.j ptrticalars the new Con stitution is first rate, as f"r example it to provides that hasty -legislation, Ij which, uuder the old Constitution bills eould be pitsseJ through the Legisla ture without scarcely any one knowing nnytsrog about the bills, escepting these who bad tbe legislation asked for hi charge. But in other particulars it m proving itself to be a burden, acd bis, within tbe Tew years of its opera tion, so drained the Tretsury that tbe Legislature is perplexed for sources from which to raise tbe means to pay for tbe rucning expenses of tbe govern ment. Tbe ten Constitution doubled the uieiuberiiip of the Legislature ; it 1 ar doubled, or almost doubled the Dumber j of courts ; it doubled, or nearly dou bled the common school fund. Tbe in created expenditure in the tbreo de partments just enumerated, if none tbers be considered,- is suilicient to place the finance of the State in the embarrassed condition that it now is. Tbe eCuit t.i It vj a tax cc oil, that was made, failed to tbe Legislature la.-t week. Just why tbe oil business should be exempt from taxation, while ail other interests are taxed has not been shown. The oil business is an important busi ness, end its reveres have enriched thousands tipim thousands without pay ing a'-.T lax. It the expensive provi s'ous of tbe new Constitution are to reniain as pert of that document, the quicker the Legislature sets about to tax oil, and such other products as can vet bear an assessment, 'be better it wil! oe. The express?'! opinion in every district is tbat the credit of the State must rot be allowed tc suffer, and the Legislature is asked to meet tbe fjues tion fn-iiy, and tax f'J 'h matters as are notaiready loaded down. Meanwhile, would it oot be well to lop off some of tbe luxuries of tbe late or new funda mental document, by amending it. These is a rumor afloat that tbe English government bas been casting long steady looks across the water to Mexico, wbicb European diplomatists interpret to mean that Johnny Hull has some feeling cf a closer u jinn of friend ship for Mexico.

A citt paper relates the following : A Philadelphia physician recently re moved a live cisticercus or embryo tape-ivorm from the left eye of a mer chant of that city. The eye in which the worm took np its abode had been covered with cataract for twenty years, and was consequently useless, j But the merchant at times within the last three years suffered excruciating pain in the darkened eye. He con sulted unmerous oculists, but obtain ed no relief until his last physician made the case a special study, his in vertigations resulting in the removal, by incision, of the entozoon mention ed. It is believed to be the first au thenticated case of cysicercus in the human eye in this country. ' The worm ia supposed to Lave passed from the stomach, into which it is taken generally with uncooked pork, into the eye-ball, which organ is rare ly reached or affected by it Had the one taken from this gentlemen's eye reached the alimentary canal instead he would have become a very active and enterprising tape-worm. AGAIN TO THE EE3CUE. Second Veto of President Hayet Beat' iig on tlu Southern Question. Tbe following is the message of tbe Pres ident of the United Slates, returning to the House of Representatives the bill entitled "An act to prohibit military interference at elections. To Tin 1 1 oust; or Eepresextatives : After a carol irt consideration of the bill entitled "An act to prohibit military inter ference at elections," 1 return it to the House of r aeI;Ul. ja wh; . . I ' iuat-d, with the following objections to iU approval : In the communication sent to the House of Representatives on tha 29th of last uioDth, returning to the House without my approval of the bill entitled "An act mak ing aprroI'r:'"as for support of the army for tha fiscal year "wling June ?0, 13H, aud fur other purposes," I endeavored to show by quotations from the statutes of the United States now in force and by a brief statements of facts in regard to recent elec tions in the several States, that no addi tional legislation was nccespsry to prevent interference iih the elections by the mili tary or naval forces of the Cuited States. The fact was presented in that communica tion c'i 't at the time of the passage of the act of June 18, 1S78, in relation to emjiloy ment of the army as a poste ccmxlalm or otherwise, it was maintained by its friends it would establish a vital and fundamental priacijle, which would secure to the people protection against a standing army. The tact was also referred to that since the pas sage of this act Congressional, State and ; municipal elections have been held through nut the Union, and that in no instance has complaint been made of the presence of United Slates soldiers at the polls. KatriioM ar Elections. Holding as I do the opinion that any military interference whatever at the poils is coutrarj to ihe spirit of our institutions and would tend to destroy the freedom of elections, and sincerely desiring to concur with Congress in all of its measures, it is with regret that I am forced to the conclu sion that tbe bill before me is not only un necessary to prevent such interference, but is a dangerous departure from long-settled and important constitutional principles. The Tat'E Rule. The troel rule as to the employment of military force at the elections is not doubt ful. No intimidation or coercion should be allowed to control or influence citizens in the exer-ise of their right to vote, neth er it appears in the shape of combinations evil-disposed persons or of armed bodies of the militia of a state or of the military force of the United States. The elections should be free from all forcible interferences, and, as far as practic ujle, from all apprehension of such interference. No SoiniKS at tbe Pons. No soldiers either of the Union or of the State miiitia should be present at the polls or take the place or perform fiie duties of the ordinary civil police fotce. There bas been and ill be no violation of this rule under orders from me daring this adminis tration. The Kiobts or Government. But there should be no denial ot the right of the National Government to employ its military force on any day and at any place in case snch employment is necessary to enforce the Constitution and laws of the United States. IVmt the Bill is. The bill before me is as follows : "Be it enacted, etc., That it shall not be lawful to bring or employ at any place where a gnera! or special election is being bcld in & State or any part of the army or navy of the tinted states, nnless such force be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States, or to enforce section 4, article 4, of the Constitution of the United States and laws made in pursuance thereof, on application of the Legislature or Execu tive of the State where such force is to be used, said so much of all laws as is incon sistent herewith is hereby repealed." It will be observed the bill exempts from the general prohibition against the employment of military iorces at the poils two specified cases. These exceptions recognize and concede the soundness of the principle that military force may pr.nperly and constitu tionally be used at the of elections when such use Is necessary 1 enforce tbe Constitution and lairs. The Excepted Cases. But the excepted cases leave the pro'- uition so extensive and far-reaching that its adoption will seriously impair the efficiency of the Executiv3 Department of the gov ernment. The Military Powers Usdeethe Fathers. The first act expressly authorizing the usu of military power to execute the laws was passed almost as early as the organiza tion of the government under tbe Constitu tion, and was approved by President Wash ington May 2, 1792. It is as follows : "Sec tion 2. And be it further enacted, that whenever the laws of tho United States shall bo opposed, or the execution thereof obstructed, ia any State, by combination too powerful to be suppressed by the ordi nary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by this act, the same being notified to the Presi dent of the United States by an Associate Justice or the District Judge, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia of such State to suppress such combinations aud to cause the laws to be duly executed. And if tbe militia of a State where such combinations may happen shall refuse or be insufficient to suppress the same, it shall be lawful for the President of tbe United States, if the Leg islature be not in session, to call icrlh and nr. ploy such numbers of the militia of any other S Lite or States most convenient there to as may be necessary, and the use ef mi litia so to be called forth may be continued, if necessary, until the expiration of thirty days after the commencement of tbe ensu ing session." In 1795 this provision was substantially re-enacted in a law which repealed the act of 1792. In 1807 the following act became the law by the approval of President Jeffer son : Tnc Thomas JrrriBso Lw. 'That In all cases of insurrection or ob strnction to tbe laws, either ef tbe United States or of any individual State or Terri tory, where it is lawful for tbe President of the United States to call forth tbe military for the purpose of suppressing such insur rection, or of causing the laws to be duly executed, it shall be lawful for him to em ploy for the same purpose such part of the land or naval forco of the United S fates as shall be judged necessary, having first ob served all the pre-requisites of the law in that respect." By this act it will be seen tbat the scope of the law of 1795 was ex tended so as to authorize the National Gov ernment to use not only the militia but tbe army and navy of tbe United States in csoainf tbe laws to be dnly executed. The important provision of the acts of 1792, 179- and 1S07, modified in its terms from time to time to adapt it to the existing emergency, r main.tr ia force until, by an act approved by President Lincoln, July 29, 1861, it was enacted substantially in the same Language in which' it is bow found in revised statutes, viz: "Whenever, by rea son of unlawful obstructions, combinations or assemblages of persons, or rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States, it shall become imprac ticable in the judgment of tbe President to enforce by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings tbe laws of the Unitd States within any S'tafe or Territory, it shall be lawful foi the President to call for the mi litia of any or all tbe States and to employ such parts of the land and naval forces of the United S tates as he may deem neces sary to enforce the faithful execut'torf at the laws of the United States or to suppress such rebellion in whatever State or Terri tory thereof the laws of the United States may be forcibly opposed or the execution thereof forcibly obstructed." This ancient and fuudament.il la bas been iu force from the foundation of the government. It ts PaorostD to Chaxoe the Old Law. It is now proposed to abrogate it on cer tain days and in certain places. In my judgment no fact has been produced which tends to show thst it ought to be repealed or suspended for a single hour at any place in any of the Stales or Territories of the Union. All the teachings of experience in the course cf oin- history are in favor of sustaining its efficacy unimpaired. The Laws er the Fathees Maintained ihe Nation. On every occasion when the supremacy of the Constitution has been resisted and the perpetuity of or.r institutions imperiled the principle of this statute enacted by the Fa thers bas enabled the government of tbe Union to maintain its authority and to pre serve the integrity of the natiou. At the most critical periods of our history my pre decessors in tbe Executive olHce have re lied on this good principle. It was on this principle that President Washington sup pressed the whisky reb:-I!iou in Pennsylva nia in 1794. In 1S06, on the same princi ple President Jefferson broke up the Burr conspiracy by issuing orders for the em ployment of such force, either of the reg ulars or of the militia, and by such proceed ings of the civil authorities " as might enable them to suppress effectually the further progress of the enterprise. And it was uuder the same authoriiy that Presi dent Jackson crushed nullification in South Carolina and that President Lincoln issued his call for troops to save the Union in 1861. On numerous occasions of less significance under probably every administration, and certainly under the present, this power has been usef ully exerted to enforce the laws without objection by any party in the coun try and almost without attracting public at tention. The Power or Peie-Protectioh. The great elementary constitutional prin. ciple which was the foundation of tha orig inal statute of 1792, and which has been its essence in the various forms it bas assumed since its first adoption, is that tbe govern ment of the United States possesses under the Constitution, in full measure the power of self-protection by its own agencies, al together independent of State athority, and if need be, against the hostility of State Governments. It should remain embodied in our statutes unimpaired as it bas been from the very origin of the government. It should be regarded as hardly less valuable or less sacred than a provision of the Con. stitution itself. Other Statctes Liable to be Akxtlled. There are maDy other important statutes containing provisions that are liable to be uipended or annulled at the times and places of holding elections if the bill be fore me should bee jum a law. I do not undertake to furnish a list of them. Many of them, perhaps the most of them, have been set forth in the debates on the meas ure. What Thet Relate to. Tbey relate to extradition, to crimes against tbe election iaws, to quarantine reg ulations, to neutrality, to Indian reserva tions, to the civil rights of citizens, and to other subjects. In regard to them ail it may be safely said that the meaning and effect of the bill is to take from the Gener al Government an important part of its power to enlorce the laws. Another grave objection to the bill is its discrimination in favor of a State snd against the national authority. The Bill roa State, axt Ao.unst the United States Government. Xh.1 presence or employment of tho array or navy Pf tbe United States is lawful un der the terras of this bill at the place where an election is being held in a State to up hold the authority of a State government then and there in neeti of such military in tervention, but unlawful to uphold the au thority of the United States then and there in need of such military intervention. Under this bill the presence a.id employ ment of fhe army or navy of tha United States would be lawful and might bs neces sary to maintain the conduct of a State election against the domestic violence that would overthrow it, but would be unlawful to maintain the conduct of a national election against the same local violence tbat would overthrow it. This Discrimination. This discrimination has never been at tempted in any previous legislation by Con -gress, and is no more compatible with sound principles of the Constitution or the neces. sary maxims and methods of our system of government on occasions elections than at other times. In the Eablt Legislation. In tbe early legislation of 1792 and of 1795, by which the militia of the States was the only military power resorted to for tbe execution of the constitutional powers in support of the States or National authority, both functions of the government were put upon the same footing. When the Acthoeitt was Given. By the act of 1807 the employment of the army and navy was authorized for the performances of both constitutional duties in the tamo terms. In all later statutes on tbe same subject matter the same measure of autho.-ity to the government has been accorded for the performance ol both these duties. No precedent bas been found in any previous legislation. The Reason Wht the Present Bill Fa vors the States is not Uiven. And no sufficient reason bas been given for the discrimination in fa7or of tbe State and against the national authorities which this bill contains. The Government Shit Oct. Under tbe sweeping terms of the bill the National Government is eOectnally shut out from the exercise of tbe right and from tbe discbarge of its imperative duty to use its whole executive power whenever and wher ever required for the enforcement of its laws at tbe place and times where and when its elections are held. The employ ment of its organized armed forces for any such purpose would bi an o(Ten' apainst the laV, n ideas called for by and therefore npon permission of the authorities ef the State in' which the occasion arises. The Bat Mkaks State Scpremact. What is this but tbe suostitution of the discretion of the State Government for the discretion .f the government of the United States as to the performance of its own du. ties 1 In my judgment this is an abandon. ment of its obligations by tbe national gov ernment, a subordination of national au thority and an intrusion of State supervis ion over national duties which amounts In spirit and tendency to State Supremacy. Though I believe that the existing statutes are abundantly adequate to completely pre vent military interference with the elections in the sense in which the phrase is used in the title of this bill and is employed by the people of this country, I shall find no diffi culty in concurring in any additional legis lation not limited to that objuct which does not iuterfere with the indispensable exercise of the powers of tha government under the Constitution and tho laws.

Shenandoah Herald, of last week. For nearly two years past a yeng man, weiring the garb of a Highland piper, bas been wandering about tue coal regions of Pennsylvania playing his pipes in tha streets, attending pic nics aud dances, and apparently de pending on bis instrument to make him a li.'iug. He visited Shenandoah fre- nctitly and will be remembered and r ci f. nized by Herald readers all over tue Schuylkill regie n. A few days oince he was playing in a mining village on the out shirts ol Scranton. A crowd bad gathered around bim, among them a mine laborer named Briady. Sud denly the piper ceased his musio and stepping from the crowd bcizcd Briady by the shoulder, and announced that the laborer was bis pri&ioner. At tbe same time be produced papers which he said was his authority for making the arrest. Briady seemed entirely overwhelmed by tbe arrest, and made no opposition or protest, but accompanied the piper to tbe authorities where it was revealed that the piper was a detective. For two years be has been on the track of his prisoner, who is charged with hav ing murdered a wealthy man named Fiudlay, in Scotland, in January, 1877 Briady was in the employ of Fmdlay. Early one morning the latter was found dead by the roadside with bis skull crushed with a club. Briady bad been discharged the morn ing before for drunkenness. Ha bad been beard to make a threat that be wonld get even witb Findlay. He was nowhere to be fonnd, but was traced to Galsgow, where it was believed be had taken a vessel for America. William Male, a detective, was em ployed by tbe relatives of the murder ed man to come to this country and search for Briady, who it was thought would bring up in the Pennsylvania coal regions, where he had friends working One of Briady's peculiarities was his love for tbe maeia of the bag pipe, so the detective, being a piper, adopted the disguise of a Scotch piper played about in the coal towns, in hope of some day attracting tb 3 attention of the man he was seeking, he being sure from information he had received that Briady really was somewhere in tbe coal regions.

At midnight on Sunday a week 200 feet of tbe north Irvin dam, on tbe west branch of tbe Penobscot rirer, Maine, was washed away by a great freshet from the melting snow. Win. il. Brush, a leading brick man ufacturer of Buffalo, N. Y., was seri ously and, it is feared, fatally shot at his works the other morning br bis brother-in-law, Ellis Hampton, daring a quarrel arising out of family d;5 .Mil ties. Hampton was arrested. The Freeman, husband and wife, who killed their child under a mistaken re ligious spell, were found guilty of homi cide by tbe magistrate at Barnstable, and fully committed for trial. Free nan sat a be will bave an astonishing revelation to mske May 21st, sod still maintains that he was justified of God. Ills wife is greatly crushed by the growing conviction tbat she bas been guilty of a crime. Away down at Pocornoki? City, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, last November, Miss Lily Duer shot and killed her friend, Miss Ella Hearn. There was something very strange about the bcni'cid, both slaver and slain beins girls in the'r teens. Some said jealousy of a certain young man brought about the shooting and others held tbat jealousy of a young woman caused it. A regular rough and-tutnble fight took place on Monday morning a week, at Wooster, Ohio, between Seniors and Sophomores against Juniors and Fre.su iien belonging to the college at that place. The battle eui'd by the Sen iors and Sophomores being driven in disgrace from tbe field. Threats of ex pulsion are made by tbe faculty, but as tho whole college is involved, it is Dot likely anything will be done, unless tbe faculty wish to go out of business. A dispatch from Watertown, New York, on tbe 13ih, says : Mrs. Charles Merrihew, who resides near Deer river, and who Las been suspected of poison ing ber brotuer-iu-law and husband, confessed to tbe coroner that she made an attempt upon ber husband's life. She was urged to make a confession of both crimes, which tha refused to do, but virtually admitted having killed her lroher in law. Sbe implicates Win- thrup N. Ilerrihcw, a cou.-s d, who was in love witb ber. Mrs. Mcirihew bas been arrested and taken to Lnwville. She is a small woman, with dark hair and eyes, and is about twenty-four years of age. Sbe is quite broken down, (ays she richly deserves punishment, and moans over her crime continually. A dispatch from Fitchburg, Mass , says: Francis E. Hiyden was arrested here for tbe alleged poisoning of his sister. He is also susrected of having ing in like manner murdered his father and mother. There was some property at stake, amounting to about $8,000, which it is tbonght Ilayden was after. Miss Ilayden having died nnder simi lar circumstances, Medical EiataiuT E. P. Miller made an autopsy on tbe body. Portions of the stomach were sent to Dr. Hills, of Boston, for anal ysis, and on Friday bis report was re ceived, stating that white arsenic was found in the stomach. This led to tbe arrest of young Hayden. Ebenezer C. Ilayden, tbe father of the prisoner, died on April 10, after an illnecs Of about a week, and Mrs. Harden, bis mother, died six days later. The symp toms in each case were such tbat the bodies will probably be exhumed and closely examined. The prisoner dab bled in chemistry, and kept a labora tory ; so be bad the poison at hit band.'
