Hayt-*Vetoe%s1hs-Armty Appr) priation Hill. WASmHNGTON, April 29.-The ar my appropriation bill waq returned to the House to-day without the Presi dential signature, accompanied by 1, message stating at length the reasot for the veto. The Prezident says it the bill contained no other provision-r than those for the support of the arm v it would receive his prompt approval but it includes further legislation ad involves questions of the gravest char acter. le recites the statute now w force embodied in section 2002 ar:l 5528 of the revised statutes and says the adoption of the proposed awend Tnent may be considered in two as pects : First, as it affects the right <f the Unitei States government to use the military force to keep the peace zt elections ; second, as it affects the: right of the government by civil au thority to protect elections frow vio lence and fraud. le then quotes arni calls attention to section 2003, 5529 5530 5531 and 5532 of the revised statutes, and section 15 of the army appropriation bill, passed June 18th. together with remarks upon the pur pose and effect of the. latter as stated in the speeches of Senators and Rep resentatives who supported it. From these laws he says it appears that there can be no military interference with elections, and that, consequently, there is no necessity for the enact ment of section 6 of this bill. IH then calls attention to the existing laws for the prevention of discrimina tion on account of race, color 6r pre vious condition of servitude, and to punish fraud, violence and intitnida tion at Federal elections, and says : "These laws it is the duty of the Ex ecutive Depart.nent of the govern ment to enforce. The intent and effect of the sixth section of this bill is to prohibit all civil officers of the United States, und-r penalty of finc and imprisonment, from employing any adequate civil force for this pur pose at the place -where their enforce ment is most necessary, Pamely. at the places where Congressional elec tions are held. If the proposed leg islations should become law, there will be no power vested in any officer of the government to protect from violence officers of the United States engaged in the discharge of their duties. Their rights and duties under the law will remain, but the national governme~nt will be powerless to en force its own statutes. The States may employ both military and civil *power to keep peace and to enforce laws at State elections. It is. now States even the necessary civil au thority .to protect national elections. No sufficient reason has been given for this discrimination in favor of State and against national authority." With regard to the manner in which it is sought to repeal the law autho rizing the use of troops at the polls, he says: "Tne object aimed at it is altogether foreign to the purposes of an army appropriation bill. The * ractice of tacking to appropriation bills measures not pertinent to such bills did not prevail until more than forty years after the adoption of the constitution. It has becemne a prac tice; all parties when in power have adopted it. Many -abuses and great -waste of public money . have in this way crept . into appropriation bills. Public opinion of the country is against it. The States which have recently adopted constitutions have generally provided a remedy for the evil by enacting that no law shall contain. more than one subject, which shall be plainly expressed in its title. The constitutions of more than half of the States contain substantially this provision. The publie welfare will be promoted in many ways by a return to the early practice of the govern mnent and to the true principle of leg islation, which requires that every measure shall stand or fall according to its own merits." He says :"This * Congr-ess has ample opportunity and time to. *ass the appropriation bills aiid 'also -to. enact any political mecas -utes ivhi-ch -may he determined upon niparate bills.:by the usual and or derly- methods of procedure. But a utnajority ~of both houses have deemed it wise 'to adhere to the prin-ciples maintained in 4he las,ppgress by a ninjority of -the HIousofepresenta ~~ve,Damlely, that 4e House of Rlepre ;;~sentatives has the sole right to origi nate bilTs for raiseg revenue, and. therefore, ha.s the 'right to withhold t he appropriations upon which the existence of the govenment may de pend unless the Senates and Presi en-shall give ter-gssent to any legish2tion wihthe House mnay see fit to attach to the appopria'tion bills. To establish this principle is to rmake a radical, dangerous and unconstitu tional change in the character of our inititutions. That a majority of the Senate now concurs in the claim of the House adds to the gravity of the situation but does not alter the question at issue. The new doctrine, if maintained, will result in the con solidation of unebhecked and despotic power in the House of Representatives. A bare majority of the House will be come the government. The Execu tive will no longer be what the fratu ers of the constitution intended-an equal and independent branch of the government. The principle of this bill places niot merely the Senate and the executive, but the judiciary also, under the coerceive dictation of the Ifouse. The jiouse aloue will be the judi.- of what conistitutes a grievance, nd'also of the meaus and measures of redress. An act of Coagress to pr-o teetz eletions is now the grievance complained of. But the House miay. on the same rinciile, determine thait -.ray aeb th-r-iet i a treaty made by the Prc~ident, with the advice and cousc-nt of the Senate, Sa d:i'0rou V1oiLntiOU i the Spir; and ni'mina o4* the constitation, ai compelled to return it to the iouse in which it originated.without my approval." [From the Abingdon, Va., Standard.} Warren DuPre. L.L.D. 'Sweet is the Memory of Departed Worth." Though the town and community were previously apprised of his dan gerous condition, the announcemeot of the death of Dr. DuPre on Friday last, cast a heavy gloom and pal! of sorrow over all. No man, we believe, was ever called into a community the size of Abingdon, who in the short time of his citizenship so completely captivated the esteem and commanded the universal respect of every one in it as Dr. DuPre. As a highly re fined and scholarly gentleman, he was beloved by all who met him; as a christian man his church regarded him as a model. It is therefore not to be wondered at, that though a citi zen only three years, his death cast a cloud of sorrow and deep regret over the 'entire community, and his re mains were followed to the grave by one of the. largest. assemblages of mourners in the history of the place. Dr. DuPre was born of pure iu gupnotish ancestors, near the city of Charleston, S. C., on the 24th of January, 1816. He graduated at Randolph Macon College in June, 1837. . In 1847, he was elected to the upper branch of the-South Caro lina Legislature, at a time when it was, at its best, shedding upon the. world a brilliant light of talent hardly equalled by any other State in the Union. This position he filled for several terms with great credit to him self and his constituents. He was subsequently President of a high grade female school at Newberry, S. C. On the organization of Wofford College in 1854, he was the first member elected, and was placed in the chair of Natural Science, to fit himself for which posi tion, he spent some.time in the Labo ratory of Y;le College in the study of Chemistry. At Wofford he remained for twenty-two years, when on the 6th of April,:1876, he became Presi dent of K"artha-Washington College. No one ever went into a strange comn munity and more readily adjusted himself to the surrounding relations, or identified himself more pleasantly or thoroughly with the best interests of the town. 'In this community in which Dr. DurPr-e has sic lived, we can do but little justice to the high stand he has taken, or to the great moral worth of his connection with the people. His scholarship was extensive, .his fund of information great, and. his manner pleasing, rendering him at once (and all times a most pleasarit and instructive companion. The funeral services were conducted at eleven o'clock ga. Sunday, in the College chapel, which was appropri ately draped in mourning. The bier rested on the.. centre and front of the stage. At the he'ad stood 'a large and beautiful cross of flowers, a tribute from the s'chElars to .the mem ory of their departed President, with expressions of their deep sor row and grief. Over the bier hung an ane'hor, of ivy, magnolias, lilies of the valley and other beautiful white flowers, with a pure white rose for the centre, most tastefully arranged, a tribute from friends who admired and loved him. At the foot was a large mound of flowers, and all around the bier, even upon the floor, were strewn wreaths, anchors, crowns, crosses and flowers in profusion, the offerings of grieved and mourning friends. The service was conducted by Rev James Atkins, minister in charge of the Methodist Episcopal -Church, South, assisted by D.r. Wiley and Prof. Longley of Emory & Henry Col lege, and Rev. B. W. S. Bishop, P.E. Prof. Hoss, of Martha Washington College, delivered an appropriate and touching eulogy upon the life and character of the deceased, being per haps more intimately acquainted with him than any other one present. Mrs. Goodrich, wife of Prof. Goodrich, of the Musical Department, sang, as a solo, a song which Dr. DuPre had of ten heard and loved to hear her sing. It was truly impressive, and .seemed to add to the sol.emnity of the occa sion. The choir itself at' one time nearly stopped in tears, while even the notes of the organ appeared to peal in plaintive tones. The pall bearers, composed of Trus tees, members of the Joint Board and Faculty, bore the coffin sadly away. At the cemetery, it'-was lowered to its resting place in solemn silence, earth to earth, dust to dust. As the last rites were being performed, the pu pils of the College sang the beautiful Sunday School hymn, "Shall we Gather at the River," a hymn that Mr. DuPre always re quested to be sung by the school'-on the last Sabbath evening of~ every session. Nothing was.-more touching duribg the whole solemn service, than was this. Hardly a dry eye was . to be seen, and not a few lingered, to spread beautiful flowers over the gr:ive of the great and good man, who was born under the murmurs of the sound ing sea, and laid to rest amid the lofty mountains of a sister State.

"All work and no play makes Jack a du1ll boy, we have heard from childhood; and there is no thing truer than this homely old proverb. It is not only t117e con cerning children, but concerning .grown-up people as well. Every body needs amusements: it is a law of our being. Life.js indeed a serious affair ; but we should not mistake melancholy for seriousness. It was never intended that a man should make himself miserable ;. t,hat he should walk the earth with bowed head and with his eyes on the ground; that he should "go mourning all his days." And yet there are a great many apparently excellent persons who regard life in this way, and who estimate your worth by t.he length and solemnity of your face. They regard all "worldly amusements" with holy horror, as if any one, ever heard lof amusements that were not worldly. They would lay down for mankind a rule of living that would make human ezidence an absolute cmise. You can't dance, you can't play ganres of ,chance, you can't.go to fhe theatre, you can't drink a'glass of wine, you can't do this, and you can't do that--in short, you can't do anything that gives~- you pleas ure. A few years ago a prominent divine of tilis State maintained very str-enuously through the church pa pers that it was sinful to play cr'o quet ; antd many agr'eed with him that the ball and the mallet were the works of the devil. At a fem:die college in this State only a short while ago the pupils, with the con sent and approval of the teachers,. began to rehearse tableaux and charade-s for commencement week, when some good brethren sounded the alarm that a church institution was being converted into a theatre and the daughiters%f Christian pa rents into actresses. The result was, the poor girls were denied this innocent recreation. We have known gatherings of gay young people turned by exceedingly pious people into occasions'more solemn than a funeral; and we entertain a vivid reme.mbrance of a '-surprise party" where the surprisers were themselves surprised, and, instead of the festivity and mirth-they had planned for, were treated to an ex tempor-e prayer-meeting. It is said that the ancient Greeks always had a coffin present in the midst of their feasts, to remind theme that they were mortal; but the "nnco gude" of modern times have im proved on the Greeks, and have the coffin without the feast. Happily for the world these extremists are in a hopeless minot'ity, and the good sense of mankind in general is proof against such pmritanical ideas. Thle gi-e-at majority of good people rec-ognize the fact that life is many sided : that there is a time to weep and a ime to dance ; 'that we are to enjoy life. The Bible tells us we shall not steal, nor lie, nor comihit adultery, nor do many other things -but there are people who do not think the Bible goes far eough, and, by way of amendment, they undertake to condemn and to forbid many things not forbidden by the Divine law'. That man is best fulfilling the end of his being who while strictly observing the Divine law and living honorably and uprightly, gets all' the happi ness, all the pleasure and all the enjoyment out of life that he can possibly obtain. If ihere were more such there would 'be more sunshine and fewer clouds -in huiman;expe rience.. The first installment of the News and( Co urier prize story, "Ashurst, or the Days that are not," came out in the Wee/d1y Newn the 30th in stant- The style is easy and gra'ce ful ; the opening chapters give pro mise-of something much above the average novel. Mrs. H. Hilton Brm,m of Charleston, is the author. The Veto.. H1ajes has vetoed the Army bill. He gives various reasons for it, none of which are sound, and some perfectly puerile. The principal objection, however, that his fraud ulency has to the bill is that it re peals the law authorizing the use of troops at the polls. He and his party know that without the use of troops Radicalism will be defeated in. 1880. The Republicans were very much elated by Hayes' veto; and he is. more popular with his party to day than he has ever been. All the Cabine t, favored and advised the veto, even "erring brother" Key, who was a Confederate Briga dier, and who went into the fraud ulent Cabinet as a Democrat. The Democrats were placed in a very embarrassing predicament, and it was a delicate question with them what to do. It was impossible to pass the bill over Hayes' veto, be cause they. have not the requisite two-thirds majority. They either had to back down, and leave out the objectionable amendment for bidding the use of troops at the polls, or to insist on the bill as passed. This latter course would, if Hayes still refused to yield, keep the army out of its pay, and might lead to unpleasant and disastrous consequences. Upon whose head would the consequences fall, Hayes', or the Democrats ? That is the question. It seems to -us that Hayes having exercised the consti tutional right of veto, and the Dem ociats being unable to pass the bill in the usual and constitutional way, further persistence would make them largely responsible for any evil consequences that might fol low. Such considerations as these led the Democrats to yield to the Executive, and to adopt the follow ing plan:- pass the appropriation without the amendment, and then make a seporate bill forbidding the use of troops at the polls; then if Hayes vetoes the latter bill, as he undoubtedly will, he must do so on the sole ground that he intends to use the army to carry the election for the Republicans in 1880. Conviet Labor. The system adopted by the last Legislature of hiring out convicts for all sorts of work, in small or large gangs, is producing much dis satisfaction, especially among the honest laboring classes. It cuts them out of many a job; and when labor is already so cheap, and work so hard to find, this is no small matter. No honest laborer can compete with convict labor. Not only the laboring casses by whom we mean those who make their living by manual labor-are finding fault with the -system, but a large proportion 'of other clas'ses object strongly to it, on the ground that scattering the convicts over the State in small gangs has a de moralizing effect. It is impossible to please every body. When the - convicts were kept in the p.enitentiary-idle, or al most so, the cry was, they ought to be hired o,t and made to earn their bvead. Now, since this has been done the dissatisfaction is as great as ever. We believe they ought to be made to work, . but think the Legislature made a mistake when it authorized hiring them for agri cultural .purposes. Abbeville village did not have a single representative in Charleston last .week. Our business men pre fer going Nortl1 to trading in a town that cares so little for their patronage and does nothing through the press to set forth its advantages. If Charleston merchants can afford to be close towards the country newspapers they can afford to keep their mouths'shut and throw their influence in . some other direction where it will be better appreciated and more largely rewarded. ([Abbeville Mediamn. The Medium is right. It is strange that the business men of Charles ton otherwise so intelligent are so obtuse o. .t.his point. They.should cease thein copiplaints about get ting no trad'e from the up-country, when they mak~e no effort to get it. A fety advertisem.ents judiciously distributed among the up-country papers would bring about a change over the spirit of their dreams, and put money in-their pockets.

FOR-THE HERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30, 1879. Mr. Hayes yesterday vetoed the Army appropriation bill. 'His mes sage is one that will be read with alarm by thoughtful men everywhere, and with astonishment by till when the political events of this time have becomie history. It enters into an elaborate argument on the subject of the powers of different branches of the Government, and arrives at conclu sions which, if ever embodied in law or sanctioned by public sentiment, will make servants of the people, in stead of sovereigns, and give to the Executive vaster and more dangerous powers than any ruler can safely have. It has been the wish of many Demo rats that Congress should after the expected veto, vote supplies for the Government sufficient to pay expenses until the regular session, but I doubt if votes enough can now be had to se cure that action. The publication of the veto message in newspapers before its reception by the. House was also a gross discourtesy. The hidfofficial hints of its contents, given ont for the last two weeks, were, to say the least, in a taste not hereto fore found at the White House. On the whole, t.he fraudulent President has both by the matter of his message ad the .surrounding circumstances, given the country cause for alarm and shame. He has put himself so secure ly in the hands of the worst leaders of his party that those Democrats who, inspired by a foolish faith in his pa triotic a.tterances, have counseled and advised with him, will of necessi ty keep away from him hereafter. To-day, probably, debate will com-. mence on the Legislative bill in the Senate. It will, beyond doubt, be prolonged. As much of the Army bill",debate referred to matters contain ed in the Legislative bill, so, in dis cussing the latter, Senators will have opportunity, which they will improve, to express their views on the actio.3, arguments and charges contained in the veto of the Army bill. I look for a long, able and most imnpurtant debate. There has been hints in the papers that Secretary Sherman was ambitious of Presidential honors in 1880, and was doing what he could to magnify his chances. There are gentleien here from the Siuth who represent that the Secretary is very actively working in that section, and with con siderable effect. It is not likely, how ever, that even so shrewd and unscru pulous a politician as Sherman, thougly backed by our most important Depart- . ment, can overcome the strong feeling1 of Radicals in the South in favor of Grant and Windom. It looks as if one of these gentlemen was sure of a "solid South" in the nominating con-1 vention. But whatever trickery can 1 accomplish will be done by Sherman. Senator Logan, though in .earlier life willing to tight duels if occasion offered, says that he will not meet Representative Lowe, who has chal lenged him. Without entering into the merits of the dispute between Senator Logan and .Representative Lowe, I think most people will sustain the former in his present course. DE M. J. W.
