Legislative Precedents.
Townsend, of Illinois, in an able
argument in the louse last week,
enumerated a number of instances in
which the lower branch of Cong;ress
had tacked political mnelasures onl ip
propriationh bills. During Polk's ad
ministration the declaration that "war
existed by the act of Mexico" was
passed only by tacking it to an ip
propriation bill. Subsequent legish
tioti In regard to the war was passed
In the same manner. In tlie first
Republican House, when Banks was
Speaker, the majority tacked it pro
vision to the supply bill forbidding the
President to interfere in the Kansas
elections. At this time, Joshua I.
Giddings, the father of Republicanism,
maintained for his party that the
House was merely exercising its con
stitutional prerogative in a legitmate
manner. The present is at precisely
analogous case, with the parties re
versed.
Cominig to ltater1 times, tie Radical
majority in 1867 engraflted ttpoi an
approiatltion bill i clause providing
that the general of the army shold
remai in Wtashington, and not be
sett elsewhere except at his own re
qiest, and that the President, should
transmit no order to any ollic,r ex
cept through the general of tlie trmy,
under penaltivs, and providing fine
and .imprisonnlent to any subordinate
officer obeying such ''irregular'' coom
miands. This was in (lirect Contra
vention of the Constitution, which
intakes the Presidet conntnatnder-ini
chief of the army and navy. Presi
dent Johnson, stubborn as he was,.
and by ito means afraid of interposing
his veto in political measures, not
withstanding this special piece was anl
insult to himi and anl inlfrinlgment of
his unquestioned powers, sigued the 1
bill under protest, siinply because it,
was at appropriation bill, and he could
not stop (te supplies. About the same
time Wilson, of Iowa, another ia(i
cal, proposed an amendment to tile
supply bill that., whenever a circuit
judge of the United States decided
against the constit'ttionality of anl act
passed by Congress, he would have
to be sustained by two-thirds of the
Supreme Court, or otherwise his
decision would be unheeded. As but
eight judges were on the supreme
bench at that time, six would have
been required to overrule ant unon
stltutional act of Contgtress. All thjs
was dotne in the htaley'on days wh'len
the Republicants cotmpri'sed about
three-fourths of' Cotngress anud htad (lie
armyt at their back. Even latet', Gar-t.t
field htitmself putshed( thte sutpervisor'
and depty~ matrshal act thtroutgh ini
an approp)ritiont bill, against thtepro
tests of (lie iority.
Twuo thing's are shown: frst, that
atn unbroken line of' preccedents jus
titles thte D)emocrats in thteir pret'tt
p)olicy ; antd secondly, that each ptaty
has been alterntately the (defetndetr anid
the oppontetnt of this peculiar p)ower
of thte Hlouse to Coerce the Sentate andt(
thte Presitdentt. Ont the whole it, is
plaini that the D)emocr'ats are ntot
revolutIonary; atnd that it conies with
bad grace from thte lIladicals atnd from
Hayes to howl about a thittg that they
often did, esp)ecially whetn they tied
to imipeach Attdy Johntsoni for inter
posinig his veto. The D)emnocrats at'e
getting along pretty well now.
Politics of the Week.
The polities of the counttry has beeni
cotncentrated dttring the past week int
the House of' Representtatives at
Washligtont, where the prtop)ositijon to
repeal the act tallowintg the pre'senice
of troops at thte polls5 was fiercely
debated. The moore striking featurtes
of the debate hav'ie already beent givetn.
The leading sp)eeches wet'e mtade by1
Gai'feld for theo Reputblcans attd
Blackburn for the D)emocrats. The
former w~as atn intcenitary htatratngue,
based upon a continuous tissue of'
failsehoods, as was clearly shown ini
Bilackbuirn's reply. Hlurtd, Demtocrat,
of Ohio, made theo calmest and most
arguitenitative speech of the week.
Robeson, Grant's ex-secretary of the.
navy, who came necar beig impeach
ed for frauduletnt contracts andi( ex
ponditures during htis term of' offiee,
made a speech well adapted to the
elimate of RussIa. He Itimated that
the time might como whten "the tman
on horseback" would be calledl ont to
disperse Congress as Cromwell dis
,solved the Long Parliament, and
N~apoleon putt out thte House of' Deput
ties. The debate closed anid the voto
was taken ont daturday. The amettd
mont offered by Now, of Itndlana, that
the repeal shall not abridge - or. aft'eot
the right and duty of the Exeutive to
respoud to a call of a State Legisla
ture or G~overnor, was agreed to by
it vote of eighty-live to four, the Re
puiblicans relfraining frout voting oil
cither side. Altelr Several amend
imenits had been o1'ered and rejectedl
the Conilluitlc' arose and reported the
bill to the Il,iiue. All uunmportatlt
umiienidniieit s Vere tireed to iithout
division. The bill then pa' sed by ta
vote of yeas 118, nays 122-a strict
party vote. The Greenibackers voted
as tol1ows: In the afillrmlative-1)e Li
NI1ttyr, Vort, i0le, , Jones of Texas,
lladd, I.mwe of A lahama, March,
St'evensoii, Weaver, 'okumn; in tihe
negat11VV-'h;irlow and Forsythe. The
result, wiis ree.iVed1 With tipplause on
the 1)cmoeratic sile.
'T'he (reeitba'.kers made their first
)pearuIce ol Frithiy. Weaive, of
lowa, said that the )etocralic party,
liike Moses, had got to Mount, Pisgaih,
but would never reach the 1'ronised
Land iin J,is. Weaver, It will be re
mneimbei'ed, wIas elected by Democratic
votes. This is anll evidence of how
iuch meni atre to be trustted. The bill
Yoes to the Senate where another pro
Lracted debate is to be expected. The
L'resident has not yet expressed him
5elf openly, but Zrck Chandler, wh'
vow makes atost daily visits to the
White Illouse, contidently asserts,
'We've go. limrl." The I'resident's
/eil t'r (hir elections Is rather strange.
,OItsiinlgtil, the way lie was Counted
[in by the aid of troops. Indications
ire that the session will be prolonged
t0r months, with the result undecided.
The spleechcs of lillckblurn, 'T1'nsend
.1(d others put the 1)emocrats on
strong grould, atid slow that they
Ire mnerely li)l(owinlg inl the track of
i long series of precedenlts in tacking
)n legislation to appropriation bills.
LHayes himself', whenl in Congress,
roted to impettehi Andrew Johnsonl
for vetoinlg bills passed by Congress.
Alnother st ro11ng point inade by Black
mil-ur is that repeahing. acts eannot be
revoItiOiary. Thev are merely
tringinig the law back to where it was
it first. One of tlie ineasures now to
b)e repealed was tacked to lint atppro
)riation hill rushed thIIrough by the
[laulicak. It is certainly iot wrong
.o repeal it in tle satne way. The
ilr doutful't point. in the Demuocratic
>o1ition wa"l tle eingrai rtiug of incon
ruions legi-lation to appropriation
)iIIs. This be)ina settled by reference
o the record, the I)enocrats can now

TEis standard article is compound
edl with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and as
satisfactory as ever.
It restores gray or faded hair to its
youthful color.
It removes all cruptions, itching
and dandruff. It gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
colnfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the cap)illary glands to their normal
vigor, p)reventinlg baldness, and mak
ing the hair grow thick and strong.
As a dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.
A. A. IIayes, M.D., State Assayer
of Massachusetts, says, "'rThe conl
stituents are pure, and carefully se
lectedl for excellent quality ; and I
consider it the BEsT IPREPARATION
fo,r its intended purposes."
Prico, One Dollat*.
FOR THE WHISKERS.
This elegant preparation may be
relied on to change the color of' thme
beard from gray or any other undesir
able shade, to brown or black, at dis
cretion. It Is easily appllied, being in
one preparation, and quickly and ef
fectually produces a permanent color,
which will neither rub nor wash off.
