TiiE Democracy of tii: county are
tbout to tnguge in the publication of
certi?r.t';3 expressive of mumamu
views -. iLe lute Couvertion. ami ex
; reaive of their views on a change
from tLa Deiegnte Svstem to that
which jfives every man a chants for
Lcuiinatiun. From the present out
look, tLe prediction, that the names
of the whole Democratic party in
this County w??I be in print within the
next two mi rths, does not 6eem un
reasonable. It is no idle whim that
agitates them. It is more than whim
r caprice. It is fundnmental doc
trine tiut is at stake. Men are noth
ing ; principle is everything, and Lists
forever.
Last Thursday the Republicans of
JIaine n-minate-J D. F. Davis for
Governor. In its resolutions on the
money question it expresses its be
lief " now, as always, in good honest
money for the people, and it opposes
an irredeemable paper currency as the
worEt oure that can be irflicted upon
a nation. It rej lices that govern
ment promises to pay are now kept
und that the paper currency of the
country is redeemable on demand ia
coin, so that now the dollar of the
laborer is as good as the dollar of the
capitalist Ic condemns all schemes
to tamper with the currency of the
2ep,e unJ thereby nnatttla public
onfidence, now happily fast being
restored."
During the Democratic State admin
istration of 1853, there was aa over
issue of Df crly one hundred thousand
dollars of State bends. Whether it
was a mistake, or whether it in a clear
clean steal of that amount by the ad
ministration then in i ow.r, is not clear.
If a Republican administration bad
done f jcii a tbir.;;, it would he called a
e;oii. A Legislative committee bas
been appointed to investigate the mat
ter and find out who bad the bogus or
over-isu"d bunds, and to report a'd
about the matter as they find it. Tbe
committee was in session At I'biiadel
jhia, last week, but late intelligence
reports that they have no information
that is satisfactory as to how and by
whom tbe over issue was nade.
It is said that the .Shermans like
the r' iin 3 of the European aris
ijOi';i',y. A correspondent of Me
ddles Sunday Times says : " I heard
General Sherman one day descrilie a
visit to the pftirLl quiirters cf rrince
Bismarfk. From tiis desrlt,tiou the

und papers, sat Bismarck in a hard
chair. Xe?r him, at a similar table,
was 'a is secretary. No mirrors, cost
iiipj hundreds of dollars, no fine paint
ings, no lace curtains."
The Democrats in Congress have
quite a time caucusing over what
tiuy Uiall d with Senator Biyard,
lie iifiv'- iukm such a 6tand in favor
of hjnest money. Senator Bayard is
an honest man, the scion of honest
Ktock, and cannot help favoring hon
est money, and that's tha very reason
the whitewashed Democratic leaders
Congress are fighting Li"i. Such
men as Senator Bryard among Dem
ocratic leaders ere scarce.

Tbe political situation in Luzerne
and L'tckawanna comities is described
to be as follows, by a writer from
Vilke.Aurre : The political situation
in the counties of Luzerne and Lack
awaca is, however, in one particular,
presenting a threatening aspect, and
only among thoughtful men in these
coal valleys is the full force of the
danger understood. The third party
known here as the National-Labor-party
is cntroled by a few shrewd,
designing demagogues, men who have
no material interests here, and being
bankrupt in pocket and reputation,
rL-k nothing by resorting to desper
ate expedients. These men make
little ado in asserting that they know
the road that leads to victory for
their P'iU-ty in the ensuing election,
and it is fully comprehended in that
one word strike ! Everybody here
understands that bnt for the strikes
and riots of 1877 the 'workingnien's
party" would not have succeeded in
electing Stanton judge, Kinney sher
ifi, and the rest of their ticket by a
majority nearly as great as the whole
vote of either of the other parties.
Already threats are heard in numer
ous quarters that if it should become
necessary to insure the success of
the Nationals m these two counties,
strikes will be inaugurated This
much accomplished and it is easy
enough for unscrupulous leaders to
inflame the passions of the more ig
norant classes and lawlessness in
evitably follows. If these leaders
can then succeed in so working upon
the passions of their duped fol.owers
as to cause them to commit acts that
will necessitate the calling out of the
State troops, as they did in 1S77, the
result would inevitably bo the uniting
of the masses of the woikingmen on
candidates selwted from their own
number ; their ejection would be
equally sure.

round pieces of bone, like so man;
bungs, piled oo lop of each other, ouly
these bung of bone are very rough and
jagged ai tbe edges. Each ot these

together a solid pillar that gives sup

Veto of the Judiciary Bill.
The President Consider it an Effort to
Defeat the Uuforctmtht of a Law.
WAonixoTns, June 23 The following is
the text of the President's message vetoing
tbe bill to which it refers :
To Ihe Houtt of R.prtientatittf. After a
careful examination ot the bill entitld "An
act making appropriations for certain judicial
exp-.-nses," 1 return it herewith to the House
of Representatives, in which it originated,
with tbe followirg objections to its approv
al : The general purpose of the bill is to
provide fur certain judicial espennes of the
porernnient for the fiscal tear endirg June j
3U, 18S0, for which the sum ol $J,ti00,OoU
is appropiiated.
Ir IT Stood Alo.ni;.
These appropriation) are required to keep
in operations the general functions of the
Judicial Department of the government, and
if this part of the bill stood alone, there
would be no eljttion to its approval. It
contains, however, other provisions to whicb
I desire respectfully to ak your attention.
At the present session ol Congress a major
ity of Loth Houses, favoring a repal of the
Congressional election laws embraced in
title 20 ol the Revised Statutes, passed a I
measure for that purpose as part of a bill en
titled "An act making appropriations for the
legislative, executive ni't judicial expenses
ol the government for the fiscal year ending
June SO, It-SO, and for other purposes."
Usable to Coscia.
Unable to concur with Congress in that
measure, ou tbe 29tli of Mar last t returned
the bill to the House of Representatives, in
which it originated, without my approval,
for that further consideration for which the
Coiistiuuiou prot ides. Ou reconsideration,
the bill was approved by less than two
thirds ot the House, and failed to become a
law. The election law therefore remain
valid enactment, and the supreme law of th
land, binding not only upon all private citi
zens, but also alike and equally binding
upon all who are charged witb the duties
snd responsibilities ot the Legislative, Ex- I
ecutive and Judicial Departments of the
government.
To Pf.rtAT ExroRCEHEXT.
It is not sought by the bill before me to
repeal the election laws. Its object is to
defeat their enforcement. The last clause
of the first section is as follows :
" And no art of the money hereby ap
propriated is appropriated to pay any sal
aries, compensation, feea or expenses under
or ia virtae of title 20 of the Revised Stat
utes, or of any provision of said title."
Title 26 of the Revised Statutes, referred
to in the foregoing clause, relates to I hi
elective franchise, and contains the laws
now iu force rtgulating the Congressional
elections. The second section of the bill
reaches much further. It is as follow :
Section 2. That the sums appropriated
in this act for the persons and pub.ic ser
vice embodied in its provisions are in full
tor such persons and public service for the
fiscal year ending June 3U, ltjhll; and no
department or officer of the government
shall, during said fiscal year, make any con
tract or incur any liability for future pay
ment of money uniier any of Ihe provisions
of title 20 of the Rovised Statutes of ihe
United Slates, authorizing the appointment
or payment of general or siccial deputy
marshals for service in connection with elec
tions or on election day, until an appropri
tin sutlkient for such contract or to pay
such liability shall have first beea made by
law."
This section of the bill is intended to
make an extensive and essential change in
existing laws. The following are provisions
of statutes on the same subject which are
now in force :
"Section 2079. Ko department of the
government shall expeud in any one fiscal
year any sum in excess of appropriations
made by Congress for that fiscal year, or in
volve the government in any contract for
the future payment of money in excess of
such appropriations."
" Section 2732. No contract or purchase
on behalf of the United States shall be
made unless the same is authorized by law,
or is under an appropriation adequate to its
fulfilment, except iu War and Navy De
partments, for clothir.g, subsistence, forage,
fuel, quarters, or transportation, whicb,
however, shall not exceed tbe necessities of
the present year."
The object of these sections of tho Re
vised Statutes is plain. It is, first, to pre.
vent any money from being expended un
less appropriations have been made there
for; and second, to prevent the govern
ment from being bound by any contract not
previously authorized bylaw except forcer
tain necessary purposes in tbe War and
Navy Departments.
Under tbe existing laws the failure of
Congress to make the appropriations re
quired for tbe execution of the provisions
of the election laws would not prevent their
enforcement. The right and duty to ap
point the general and special deputy mar
shals which they provide for would still re
main, and the Executive Department of the
government would also be empowered to
incur tbe requisite liability for their com
pensation. Its Desiov.
But the second section of this bill con
tains a Prohibition not fonnd in any previous
jtfc:ilation. Its design is to render election
laws inoper.'i J iKd ,u,ter durin?
the next fiscal year. It is acnitht to accom
plish this by omitting to appelate c,one-T
fr their enforcement and by cxpressi J""
bibiting any department or officer of the
government from incurring any liability un
der any of the provisions of Title 26 of the
Revised Statutes authorizing the appoint
ment or payment of general and special
deputy marshals for service on election
days, until an appropriation sufficient to pay
such liability shall have first been made.
Deprives thi President or Necessary
Meahs.
Tbe President is called upon to give his
affirmative approval to positive enactments
which in effect deprive bim of tha ordinary
and necessary means of executing laws
s'lll left on tbe statute book, and embraced
within his constitutional duty to see that
the laws are execute !. If bo approves the
bill, and thus gives to such positive enact
ments the authority of law, be participates
in the curtailment of his means of seeing
that tbe law is faithfully executed, while
the obligation of the law and of the cousti
tutiocal duty remains unimpaired.
Special Depctt Marshals.
The appointment of special deputy mar
shals is not made by statute a spontaneous
act of authority on the part of any execu
tive or judicial officer of the government,
bat is accorded as a popular right of the
citizens to call into operation this agency
for securing tbe parity and freedom of elec
tions in any city or town having 20,000 in
habitants or upward.
Section 2021 of the Revised Statutes says
it is in the power of any two citizens of
such city or town to require of tbe marshal
of the district tbe appointment of these
special deputy marshals. Thereupon tbe
duty of the m u-shal become imperative,
and its non-performance would expose bim
to o.lieial mandate or piiuishment, or to re
moval (nun office by the President, a the
circumstances of his conduct might require.
The bill now before me neither revokes this
popular right of citizen nor relieves the
marshal of the duty imposed by law, nor
tbe President of bis duty to see that this
law is faithfully executed.
No Gexeral Discission or rna General
Election Laws.
I forbear to enter again upon any general
discussion of tbe wisdom and necessity of
election laws, or of the dangerous and un
constitutional principle of this bill, that the
power vested in Congress to originate ap
propriation involves the right to compel
the Executive to approve any legislation
which Congress may aee fit to attach to such
bills, under penalty of refusing means need
ed to carry ou essential functions of the
government.
The President's Views.
My views on these subjects have been suf
ficiently presented in the special messages
sent by me to tbe House of Representatives
during their present session. What was
said in those messages I regard aa conclu
sive as to my duty in regard to tbe bill be
fore me. The arguments urged in those
communications against tbe repeal of elec
tion law and against the right of Congress
to deprive the Executive of that separate I
and independent discretion and judgment j
which the Constitution confers and requires,
are equally cogent in opposition to this bill.
Tli's measure leaves the powers and duties
of the supervisors of elections untouched.
Tbe compensation of those officers is pro
vided lor under permanent laws, and no
liability for which an appropriation is now
required would therefore be incurred by
their appointment. But the power of the
national government to protect them in the
discharge of their duty at the polls would
be taken away. The State may employ both
civil and military power at t!.e elections,
but by this bill even the civil authority to !
protect the Congressional elections is denied
to the United States. Tho object is to pre
vent any adequate control by the United
States over the national elections by forbid
ding the payment of deputy marshals, the
otficeis who are clothed with authority to
enforce the election laws.
The fact that these laws are deemed ob
jectionable 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 enactment one is
their repeal ; the other is the decision of a
competent tribunal against their validity.
Tux Effect or the Bill.
TLe effect of the bill is to deprive the Ex
ecutive Department of the government of (
tbe means to execute laws whicb have not
been repealed, which have not been de
clared invalid, aud which it is therefore the
duty of the Executive aud of every olher
department of the government to obey and
to enforce.
1 hare in my former message on this sub
ject expressed a willingness to concur in
suitable amendment for the improvement
of the election laws, but I cannot consent to
this absolute and entire repeal, and cannot
approve legislation which seek to prtvent
their enforcement.

children more than ten years ago. lo
1874, when half tbe people were seared
out of their wits by the grasshoppers,
she contracted for an unimproved farm
