THURSDAY, MAY 15.1879.

SILVER bullion is slowly bnt steadily advancing in price.

IT is gratifying to observe the wide spread interest taken by the people in the Management of municipal affairs as evidenced by the large attendance on the opening session of the new Council last night. It is barely possible there was an idea abroad that offices were to be handed .around or. silver platters.

FOR a new member De La Matyr has achieved remarkable notoriety. His billion dollar bill made him one of the best known men in Congress, and orer the country. He has won from Hendrick B. Wright, Pennsylvania, ^he proud title he wore so long of bein-j "the champion heavy weight wild man.

RKV. DR. DE LA MATYR, D. D., L. L. D., M. C., has permitted several

weekB

to elapse without lifting up hi*

vo ce in advocacy of I is billion dollar bill. He must be 6tirring his stumps Bv-the-bve, it has just occurred to us that a million, interest free, could be used by Terre Haute for daily concerts in a

park

to be bought and beautified by his bills.

AT the conclusion of an article criticUinjj the veto of the army bill by the President, the New York World gives the following sound advice: "Under,'notemptation, under no provocation, let Congress now adjourn without making all the appropriation necessarv to carry on the Government. Representing the majority of the American people, Congress must see to it that the wheels of the public administration are kept smoothly and steadily in motion and if the President ot a factious and mischievous minority, «nder the guidance of evil counEelors, insists npon obstructing with his veto legislative repeals in harmony with all the great precedents of the history of freedom, let the issues that he makes be taken by the Democratic pirty calmly and fearlessly before the tribunal of the people in all the States of the Union."

WHILE it was in a frantic condition the GAZETTE'S esteemed and hopeful morning contemporary evolved the fol fowing paragraph. The point of is lie in its application to the late city elections in which the rag-baby secured the endDrsing and therefore smaller half of one Councilman. It evolves the following wail:

The notion that the greenbackers can be destroyed by defeat is entertained by manv, and entertained too without sufficient evidence. In fact all the evidence that we have for:es a contrary opinion. They have been defeated often without apparent Mgns of dissolution. After every defeat it has been announced that the "rag baby" was dead, but at the next 'election it showed increased strength and vitality.

A PARSON with mathematical instincts which he devotes to strange purposes receives the following complimentary notice from the Louisville Courier-Jour-nal: "Another ass has brayed. His name and title are the Rev. J. C. Belizly, .He lias a turn for mathematics, the Rev. Beltzly has, as well as a weakness for seeing his name in print. His latest feat is a calculation of the size of heaven, which he "bases on the statement in Revelations that the angels 'measured the city with the reed

12.000

furlongs. The

let h, the breadth, the height of it art equul."' This is tne result at which he arrives: "The heavenly city will be 1.500 miles in each of its dimensions, which will accommodate all the people of all the world with separate apartments There will be precisely

•541 quadrillion,

quintillion,

166

-666

trillion,

million,

666

billion.

663

thousand and

240

66623

rooms of fair size, and there will remain over

cupied to be occupied by the angels." As the Rev. Beltzly seems to know all about it, could he not tell us why, in all those thirty-nine quintillion rooms, that little two-thirds of a roo.n wasbuilt? Wasn't there enough material to finish it, or was it intended for two thirds of an angel, or—what is two-thirds of a room, anyhow? And then, we should like to know how many of them art front rooms with bay-windews and aloves and good sea-views, and if the\

are

furnished with all the modern infrovements, hot and cold baths, tele, nhooes, fire escapes, etc., and whether

they are supplied with spring-beds, or roosts? And, by way of postscript, we wish t•) say to all who regard anj thing in this paragraph as irreverent, that the charge thould be preferred againt the Rev. Beltzly, and not against us."

THE issue tor the next presidential campaign is already made up. We shall see whether or not the people desire to have federal tro«ps at the polls. President Hayes in his veto message gives Congress the assurance that soldiers will not be used by his order during his administration to perform the duties of a civil police force. This is well enough in its way but is sadly deficient. Less than two years remain of his administration. Nobody cares much what he may or may not do in that limited period. What the law is, and what may be done under it by his successors is a matter of moment. Ilis very ^ssuranceof an intention not to use troops is a tacit confession that he could use them if he so desireJ. It is not a question which pugtit to be left to the option of a President. With all due respect for the distinguished statesmen and patriots likely in the future to occupy that exalted office we do not care to be indebted to their personal kindliness of disposition and peaceful purposes for immunity from military interference. We want the law on tlia^ point explicit. We do not care to accept as a favor what we have reason to demand as a right. Besides in the distant future some surly fellow like Grant, bred in a camp and, ignorant of civil law, may become President, and we shall have troops then, as we have already had them, standing guard over election precincts, organizing and bulldczir.g Legislatures and generally controling local affairs. The law should be so plain that there could be no difficulty of cutting short the career of a President of that kind by impeachment.

President Hayes has made the issue on which the next national campaign will be fought. The Democrats are satisfied with their position.

THE SILVER ISSUE.

It is altogether probable that within a very short time President ayes will be given an opportunity either to 6ign or veto a bill which places silver on an exact equality with gold in the coinage cf the country. Silver bullion certificates ought to be emitted by the Treasury department just as gold certificates are. And there is no reason why the amount of silver in the dollar should be changed in the slightest respect. The amount now is the same as it was when our monetary system was established. If the relationship between silver and gold has changed, so mnc'n the worse for gold. Since the beginning of the Government silver was the unit and the option has remained with th^ debtors to pay in either as they pleised. That option is theirs now, both in la^w.and morals. It is the option of the Govern, ment itself ii reference to its debts. 1 was always so understood. No q|editor can complain, because it was as much a part of the contract as the obligation to pay at all. It is, therefore, not only lawful, and honest, but in accordance with the plainest dictates of common sense that if any person or class of persons desire to retain gold as one of the two coi.is in a bi metallic monetary system they should advocate a reduction in the weight of that coin to make it conform to the unit, which is the silver dollar of 412 f-g grains nine hundred fine. Bui it makes no difference to the advocates of silver whether or not that is done. Let an untramelled issue of silver be authorized, and particularly let the issuance ot silver bullion certificates be authorized and the financial question id settled. Silver will go up some and gold will come down some. Possibly they will meet in some middle ground. If they still remain apart gold must seek a field for its activity 1 some other country. If it should leae us, no calamity would ensue so long as we had silver. As between a single standard of one or the other of these metals the people prefer the cheaper silver. Its bulk will in no way inconvenience commerce so long as proper facilities are .provided fur procuring the '8 silver certificates. What a people want, and what they will use in all business transactions involving over ten dollars, is paper^currency, and that is sound, stable and superlatively satisfactory so long as it rests upon a solid foundation of coin into which it is convertible on the demand of the holder.

WASHINGTON.

The Message Vetoing the Milltary Inierfarenca Bill.

A Statement of the Sale of Refunding Bonds,

Showing an Enormous Saving of Interest.

Special to theIndianapolis Journal: Washington, May it.—The veto of the bill to prevent military interference 1 at elections will be ready to send to Congress to-tnorrow afternoon. It may be delayed until Tuesday. The President's objections to signing the bill appear under two headings. He sets forth the character of the laws which are suspended by this bilbupon all days of general or special elections in anv of the States. Most of these laws were called out by special exigencies, such as the Burr conspiracy and nullification in South Carolina. The second objection in the mind of the President is the bearing of this act upon the question of State rights. He regards it as an attemp* in the direction of crippling the powers of the general government, and strengthening the powers of the States. Upon the*e two objections he bases his refusal to sign the the bill. The Democrats are very much diyided in opinion in reference to the course which they should pursue in case the President vetoes the bill now in his hand*. A majority of them affect to believe that it is impossible that he should return the bill. However, it is clear that there will be wide divsions among them as to their course after a veto. Geneially speaking, the Democrats of the Senate are more conservative than those of the House. The plan there, as set forth by prominent Democratic Senators, is to pass a joint resolution extending the appropriations until January, leaving the appropriation bills unacted upon, and go to the people upon the issue raised in the fall campaigns. There is a large party in the House, however, who declare that under no circumstances shall the army bill be passed, although they may conclude to pas* the legislative appropriation bill free of political amendments. There is such a variety of opinions, however, and chiefly between the two Houses, that a caucus will doubtless be called immediately after the receipt of the veto, to attempt to secure an agreement among Democrats in regard to the course to be pursued.

THE VETO.

Washington, May

13.—Following

the message the President of the United States returning to the House of Representatives the bill entitled

kAn

act

to prohibit military interference at election»:" To the House of Repriraentatives:

After careful consideration of the bill entitled "An act to prohibit military interference at elections," I return it to the House ot Representatives in which it originated with the following objections to its apDroval:

In the communication sent the Hous^ of Representatives the

29th

of last month,

returning to the House without my approval, the bill entitled "An act malting appropriations for the support of the army for the fiscal year ending June

30th, 1880,

and for

other purposes." I endeavored to show by quotations from the statutes of the United States, now in force, and by a brief statement of facts in regard to recent -lections in several states that no additional legislation was necessary to prevent interference with elections by the

military or naval forces of the United States. The fact was presented in that communication that at the time of the passage ot the act of June 18th, 1S7S in relation to the employment of the army as a posse comitatus or otherwise, it was' maintained by its friends that it would establish a vital and fundamental principle which would secure to the people protection against the standing army. The fact was also referred to that since the passage of this act. the congressional, state and municipal election then held throughout the union and that in no place has complaint been made of the presence of United States soldiers at the poles. Holding as I do the opinion that any military interferance whatever at the pollR is contrary to the spirit of our institutions and would tend to destroy the free dom of elections and sincerely desiring to concur with Congress in all of its measures it is with very great regret that I am forced to the conclusion that the bill before ine is not only unnecessary to prevent such interference, but is a dangerous departure from long settled important constitutional principles. The The true rule as to the employment of military force at elections is not doubtful. No intimidation or coercion should be allowed to control or influence citizens in the exercise of their right to vote whether it appears in the shape of combinations of evil -ispoaed persons or of armed bodies of mili'ia ot a 6tate or of the military force of th£ United States the elections should he free froui all forcible interference and far as practicable from all apprehension of such interfe-ence. No soldiers, either of the union or of the state militia, should be present at polls to take place or to perform the duties of an ordinary civil police force. There has been and will be no violation of this rule under the orders from me during this administration. But there should be no denial of the right of the national government to employ its military force on any day and at any place, in case such employment is necessary to to enforce the constitution and laws ot the United States. The bill before me is as follows:

Bf it enacted, etc., That it 6hall not be lawful to bring to or to employ at any place where a general or special election is being held in a state any part of the army or navy of the United States, unless such force be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States or to enforce section four, article 4 of the constitution of the United States and laws made in pursuance thereof, on application of the legislature or executive of the state where such force is to be used and so much of all laws as is inconsistent herewith is hereby rejected.

It will be observed that the bill exempts from general prohibition against the employment of military forces at the polls two specific idea*. These exceptions recognize andjconcede tjie soundness of the principle that the miliiary force may properly and constitutionally be used at the place of elections, when such use is necessary to enfoice the constitution and laws, but other clauses leave the prohibition so extensive and far reaching that its adoption will seriously impair the efficiency of the executive department ot the government. The first act expressly authorizing the use nf military powers to execute th* laws was passed plmost as soon as the organization of the government under the Constitution and was approved by the President May 2nd, 1792. It is as follaws.

Section 2—And be further enacted that whenever the laws of tne United States shall be opposed on execution thereof obstructed in any 6tate by combinations too po.verful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in marshals by this act, the same being notified to the President of the United States by'an associate justice or 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 and to cause the laws to be duly executed and if the 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, if the legislature of the United States be not in session, to call forth and employ 6uch numbers of the militia of any other state or states most convenient thereto as may be necessary until the expiration of thirty days after the commencement of the ensuing session.

In 1795 the provision was substantially re-enacted. Relying on the same principle, Washington suppressed the whiskey riots of Pennsylvania in 1794, and in 1806 Jefferson broke up the Burr conspiracy.

Both functions of the government were put upon the same footing by the act of 1807. The employment of the at my and navy was authorized for the performance of both constitutional duties on the same terms in all later statutes on the same subject matter. Some measure of authority to the government has been accorded for the performances of both these duties. No precident is found |in any previous legislation. No sufficient reasons have "been given for the discrimination in favor of the state against the national authority which this bill contains. Under the sweeping terms of the bill the national government is effectually shut out from the exercise of right and from tne discharge of the imperative duty to use its whole executive power whenever and wherever required for the enforcement ofit6 laws.

Signed.] RUTHERFCRO B. HAYES, President.

THE SITUATION ATTHE MINES—MINERS AND OPERATORS THREATENED.

Special to the Indianapolis Sentinel: Brazil. Ind., May 13.—The strikers went to John Andrews' mine to-day, and forced his men out, although he was paying the adyanc*. A number of the miners have received notices, coming to them ir. some mysterious way, threatening death if they persisted in working. Some of the operators have" received notices threatening the destruction of their works by fire, if they out men in their mines. The effect has been to lessen the number ot men at work at all the mines, except Zellor & McClellan's.

THE MILLERS.

14.—In

last night's ses

sion of the Milllers' Association, Henry Stanley, of St. Louis, made a technical report on mill machinery, which was adopted. H. A. Hayden, of Jackson, Mich., made a report on insurance, favoring the mutual plan.

This morning Mr. Burbridge brought up his resolutions, which were at once voted down. The committee report on milling was made by W. P. Bivon, of Red Winq, Minn. In the ensuing discussion the idea was broached and met considerable favor that millers can and should regulate the quality of grain grown in theirjrespective localities. C. A. Icy ft, chairman of the committee on 6tate organization reported favoring the plan of re-organization on the basis mapped out by president Bain in his opening address. It advises that an organization be founded in each state, and adopt a constitution like that of the similar body in Minnesota and Missouri. This afternoon the members take a boat ride down the lake.

MARRIAGE BETWEEN A COLORED MAN AND WHITE WOMAN, DECIDED

VALID.

Richmond, May n.—The miscegenation case of Edmund Kinney, colored, and Mary Susan Hall, white, confined in the Virginia penitentiary for violation of the state statute prohibiting white anJ colored citizens to intermarry, was before the United States circuit court to-day, Judge Hughes presiding, upon petition for a writ -of habeas corpus. The chief ground alle.ed in the petition is that the act of the legislature of the state of Virginia making it a penal offence for white and colored citizens to intermarry is contrary to the constitution and laws of the United States, and void that the marriage having been celebrated in tlie District of Columbia, and valid there, must be held to be valid throughout the United States. The decision was reserved.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION OF LOUISIANA. New Orleans, May 13.—The constitutional convention adopted a section relative to the limitation of the power cf the government, prohibiting the legislature from passing local and special laws in certain cases, including remitting fines for penalties and forfeiture of refunding monies legally paid into the treasury. The committee on state debt sent a circular to each of the members of the convention, asking an answer1 to the following questions as early as possible: First, what is the present financial condition ot the people of your parish? Are they or not involved in individual debt? Second, What is the financial condition of your parish as a parish?

MEETING FOR THE RELIEF OF THE EMIGRANTS. Providence, R. I., May 13.—A meeting was held at the state house to-night, to consider the exodus of the negroes, and devise means of giving them relief. Amos Perry presided. Addresses were made by President Robinson, of Brown University Captain J. M. Ademan, secretary of stale, and others. Resolutions wee adopted expressing sympathy with the colored people of the Soutn, who are flving from their homes on account of prosecution, and promising aid to alleviate their suffering.

MASTER MECHANICS IN CONVENTION. Cincinnati, May, 10.—The twelfth annual convention of the American Rail

way.

Master Mechanics' association began its session at the Grand Hotel today, with N. E. Chapman, of Pittsburg, in the chair. Colonel L. M. Dayton made the welcoming address, after which the routine business was commenced, and occupied the attention of members nearly the entire day. The number of delegates is very large, representatives from all prominent railroad cities in the United States and Canada being present.

THE WOMEN'S RIGHTS MOVEMENT.

last week, quite a number of ladies inter-

esled in procuring the ballot for women and placing them on an exact equality with men in regard to the rights ot citizenship, met here, to-night, and organized the St. Louis Woman's National Suffrage Association.

BRIGHTER PROSPECTS. Chicago, May 13.—Reports from various poipts in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin are received, showing that refreshing showers have fallen lately, and have removed fears of injury to the craps from a drouth. The sky, to-night, looks threatening, aad the probability of more rain removes all cause' for alarm.

THE MEXICAN TRADE.*

OPINIONS OF AN AMERICAN MERCHANT—FAIR BROSPECTS FOR THE INTROPCCl ION OF AMERICAN?

GOODS—PECULIARITIES OF MEXICAN COMMERCE.

Special Correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune. Mexico, April 20.—In reply to several inquiries which I submitted to him, James O. Luhse, an American merchant who has oeen several vears in the Mexican trade, gives his opinion on the prospects of increasing the commerce of the Republic with the Uni'ed States. In answer to the inquiry that if cotton goods, hardware, woolen fabrics and provisions can be bought as cheat* in the United States as in Europe, Is there reason to expect that they will be purchased for the Mexican market, Mr. Lohse says: ''If such articles are as good and as cheap as those made in hurope, and if the manufacturers take steps to adapt them to the market, they will certainly be preferred, as they can be brought out in much less time." In regard to the best means of introducing American goods, Mr. Lohse nays: "Any American manu acturer who can sell his goods here as cheaply as the European makers should establish an agency here, and lurnish it not only with samples, but with a supply from which orders can be filled. In case he is not prepared to send oi't a stock of goods, he should at least send a traveller with samples,or supply an agent here with some."

There is reason to suppose that many leading firms in this country are unaware of the great icduction which has taken place in American staples since the panic ol

1873.

On this point, Mr. Lohse says-

"Owing to Americans having negKt ed to push their goods into this country, I think many mer:hants are unacquainted with the reduction that has taken place. Some progress has been accomplished in introducing American goods during the past five years swing to the establishment of a regular line steamers. No important changes have taken place in the trade of Mexico itself except a heavy increase in exchange owing to the depreciation of silver."

In reply to my inquiry, "What reforms are needed to promote foreign commerce in general?" Mr. Lohse says: "The import duties should be reduced the charge for conveying goods on the steamers and by railroad from VeraCruz ought to be lower. The rates charged by the railroad are deemed exorbitant. Railroads should be constructed from the Capital to the large towns, so that tke cost of transportation by mules and carts may be avoided."

In giving general details of the Mexican trade, Mr. Lohse says goods are ordered by every steamer leaving Vera Cruz tor Euorpe or the United States, but merchants generally send for the bulk of their goods in the fall and spring, so that they may arrive just before and after the rainy 6ea6on. In this city the wholesale and retail business is generally combined. The calico (gray cloth) manufacturers have offices here, and sell to retail trade. The freight from New York to Vera Cruz on merchandise is 1 cent per pound, or

cents per foot, with five

$41.36

per

cent for primage. From Liverpool freights are less, being from

($5 33)

shillings

2,240

2,000

pounds, with

per cent for

primage. Freight in sailing vessels from New York is from

per

pounds. The cost of bring

ing goods from New Orleans is about the same as from New York. The freight on goods from Vera Cruz to this city is $5432 per 1,000 kilogrammes. As this rale is paid in silver dollars worth about 84 cents each, it is equivalent to

in American gold

2,000

the tonr!st

the

rent

pounds. The pro

portion which the freight bears to the cost of good6 of course varies. In the hardware trade it ranges from

125

per cent, on the original cost. Country buyers generally get from six to eight months'credit without^ny form of security. They generally come to this city to purchase goods in the three months before and after the rainy season, which begins io May and ends in Sep-^ tember. This city is the great market of the interior, and its trade i« consequently of the first importance.

A BUTCHER PLIES HIS TRADE ON A DOCTOR. Frankfort, Ky., May 15.—A difficulty occurred here at 1:30 o'clock between Dr. W. Hall, a prominent druggist, and J. M. Stephens, a butcher, in which Hall was stabbed in four places dangerously and Stephens received a pistol shot through the clothing. The origin of the difficulty is not known. Hall met Stephens on the street, drew a pistol and fired when Stephens wrenched the weapon out of his band and stabbed him four times with a knife. Stephens could have killed Hall with his own pistol but after disarming him stepped back several paces and waited until he saw sheriff Williams coming dawn the street when he called to him to come and arrest l.im and gave himself up. Hall was taken to the office of Dr. Duwall and now lies there in a critical condition.
