A very satisfactory summary of the message which the. President sent to the House, yesterday, in returning the army appropriation bill unsigned, is to be seen in our telegraphic colurdns. The rea sons which the president gives for re fusing to sign the bill may appear to him satisfactory; they must strike the country as altogether insufficient. "What the Democratic policy will be, now thatthe issue has been fairly join ed, remains to be seen. Up to this time we had supposed that if the President vetoed the bill the rider would be sub mitted to him as an independent meas ure, with the tacit understanding that in this case he would sign it; but the message forbids this idea. Mr. Iljayes ' seems xiore opposed to 'the matter of the proposed legislation than the man ner, and notwithstanding the assurance o! Mr. Garfield and others that they jyould vote for the repealing clause if submitted in a bill to itself, the Demo crats will hardly take this course in the f aee of the assurance in advance that the proposition would be vetoed even in that form. They will prefer rather to adhere to their original proposition since Mr. Hayes practically tells them, that he is opposed to the repealing clause in any form. This veto promises a long session and a long struggle. The -Republicans doubtless think that at present they have the best of the cpntest, but he laughs best who laughs last. DIME NOVEL LITERATURE. We are iu receipt of the following: Norwoods, April 25th, 1879. Will the editor of The Charlotte Observer inform its readers who Bishop Crittenden is, and what about the narrative in relation to the North Carolina outlaw lledmond, and Miss Gabrielle Austin, endorsed by said Bishop Tours, &c, P, W. Melton. The Redmond above spoken of lives in Pickens county, South Carolina; he is a moonshiner, and has been engaged in several shooting affrays with revenue officers, who have undertaken to arrest him- His career has been one of sin gular romance and adventure. He has been outlawed by 'the' United States government, and there is now a reward uppn his head.' His qareer was written up in exceedingly graphic style less than a . year ago by a correspondent of the Charleston, News and Courier, who yisited Redmond in the mountain fast nesses and won his cordial friendship. The series of articles in the News and Courier has been made the basis of a book by some "fresh" aspirant for liter ary laurels who put upon the book, we believe, the name of "Bishop Critten den," of North Carolina, as a means' of lending interest and value to a romance of "The Outlaw, Redmond, and Miss Gabrielle Austin." "Bishop Crittenden" is a mythical character there is no such person in this region of country and the book itself is a miserable abor tion. The story which it tells has but the slenderest foundation in fact and the style of composition is execrable. It is a feeble and contemptible imita tion of the dime novel style of litera ture, yet to this style of 'literature it is a scandal and a reproach. After the above we presume we need hardly advise our correspondent and all others to give the narrative of Red mond and Miss Austin a wide berth. The Okalona Knave. The best ad vertised business in this country at present is that which is being conduct ed by the editor of the Okalona States. From an obscure little country sheet it has reached the importance of a journal the name of wlijch is sounded through out all the country. Its editor is put ting money in his purse by means of the notoriety which he has earned, thereby showing that after all he is a knave instead of, as was for awhile sup posed, a fool. As long as newspapers continue to notice him and congress men continue to quote his paper in their speeches, he will, go on with his mercenary ravings. Silent contempt is the only method which can be success fully employed in squelching such cat tle as this. He has already been adver tised too much. The newspapers in abusing and repudiating him have given him the very thing he wants notoriety. He would just as lie be notorious as famous. What little character Radical newspapers and Radical congressmen can give hini will not; help him much. Democratic newspapers and politicians, however, must cease altogether to notice .him, and when they do he will rapidly sink into his native obscurity. The Raleigh Observer publishes in f till an act to. regulate tfte feesJ'ofcer tain officers in Pitt 'county," Ad says that notwithstanding its? title the act & of general effect "throughout tie State for the reason that in the body of the act no reference is made, to Pitt or to any other county by name; the pioyis. ions, it holds are, therefore, general and without restriction. ThQ.Observer con tiDues''y';'y:'g'KJ' x Perhaps this- wasnot the-iuteution and the error, is in the fitieHn- it fsjapr have been the Intention of the fratners of the act, wha may have thought that the reference to the county of Pitt , in the title would limit its operations td that county.' In this it would seem the draftsman was mistaken; The iitle of an act has no such power. ' The eustoin of prefixing titles to statutes did not hnorin Hntildurincr the reisrn of Henry Vfi, and they form no part, jn a legal sense of ther statute. 'Takenin connec tion with the legal pails of a statute, thft titlte when the intent is not plain mav sliehtlv assist in removing ambig uities. That is the only force or power or a uue. vvnen mere la no awuiguibjr of expression in the body of the act, the title not being a part of the act is withr out legal use or force. A I i t J 1 i i This would seem to be a good argu ment, but we do not think the General Assembly intended the provisions of the act to apply to any other coun ty than Pitt, and our reasons 1 for saying so are these: Nearly ' two months aero we printed in The Observer ''an act to regulate the fees of the clerk of the Supreme Court, clerks of the Superior Court, sheriffs, and other specified officers in specified cases." Thebill . was i atjthat time pending before the General As sembly. W lost sight of it from that time, but a comparison of that act with the act published in the Raleigh Observer of Saturday last, shows the two to be identical in all respects except in the title and except that in the Pitt county atjt, last published thjp first paragraph of the other act a para graph in reference to the fees of the clerk of the Supreme Court is omitted. In the absence of other information on the subject, our explanation ol the op scurity surrounding tne act is tnis: mai it was originally introduced in the form in which we published it six or eigh weeks ago, by one of the members from Pitt; that it was acted - upon unfavorably, and that therefore ; the draftsman, with a view to giving i at least a local effect, erased the original title and substituted another and struck off the first paragraph; and that it thus passed, the members of tne General Assembly supposing that it indicated no more than its title inv plied. While we are disposed to believe that at all events the act embraces the whole State in its scope, whatever the intention, it is very important that an authoritative construction be put upon it at once. It was "in effect from and after its ratification," according to its terms, and if it is general in its opera tions, thus modifying the fees of all county officers throughout the State, the officers and the people are entitled to know it at the earliest possible moment.

THE SOUTH ATLANTIC tiOLI) BELT. The New York Mail says : "The At lantic coast gold field is now attracting an attention which grows as more is known of its value. Virginia, North Carolina, portions of East Tennesse and Northern Georgia are shown toTe quite rich in gold bearing quartz. Attention at present is attracted towards Virginia and North Carolina. In the former projperties are being re-opened thai; have been neglected, owing first to disputes over titles, and next, to;the civil war, for nearly thirty years, etamoi-phic rock is considered a decided auriferous indication, and in that tormation a great abundance of metal-bearing ores of a precious character is found. This is the geological character of the Vir ginia field. Sulphuret ores are common whose yield is put considerably higher than those of the Sierra Nevada. Prof. Frederick Overman, formerly well- known as a skillful mineralogist, wrote in 1851, in a work on 'Practical Mineral ogy,' that 'there, .are goidrbearing locali ties in Virginia and ; North Carolina which, if not equal to those of Califor nia at present, will be of greater inv portance in the future, and. I predict, more sure and lasting.'" Key as a Stalwart. Postmaster General Key is out again in the para phernalia of a full-fledged stalwart, and is perfectly red-mouthed for Grant in 1880. The erring brother has calcula ted his political chances heretofore with a judgment which would have done credit to a man with a great deal more sense, but his friends have cause to ap prehend that he is in this instance set ting his coulter entirely too deep. If his cabinet companion should get that nomination, and by any chance be elect ed, Mr. Key's present 'extreme stalwart- ness might, and in all probability would; be remembered against him, and to his disadvantage. This is nearly always the trouble with the latter-day saints Senator Davis ton President. In a little paragraph printed! elsewhere the New York Express names David Davis and Tlios. P. Bayard as the win ning ticket in 1880. The Philadelphia Times says that "in the West the Chica- that in their undertakings toput-Herod go Times is , in . for jDavis head-over-J Herod they aresa4very apt to over-do heels 5 in New York the anti-Tilden pa-1 the thing entirely. , , pers are auoui unanimous in the opin- . ion that the ponderous Senator is ex- - actly the man to oppose Grant with on tne issue or tne civil law against the sword, while to the independent Boston Herald it aDDears totav 'thA , - . & -- . rf --v viiiiiCI" , tion of David Davis is the one chance New York Grand Jaf Report on Liquor.

'The States may employ both military and civil power to keep peace and to enforce laws at State elections. It is proposed to deny to the United States even the necessary civil authority to protect national elec tions. Ifo sufficient reason Jias been givenfor this discrimiinatioifin favor of State and against national authori ty." With regard to the manner in which itissougbt to repeal the law author izing use oftroops at the polls, he saysj "The- object s aimed at is alto gether foreign, tc the purpose of an ariny-appropriatioA bllV The practice of tacking to appropriation bills a measure not pertinent to such bills did not prevail until more than forty years after the adoption of the constitution. It has become the practice of all par- ties when in power, to have adopted it. and many abuses and great waste 01 public money have, in this way, ' crept into appropriation bills. The public opinion of the country is against it estates which have recently adopted constitutions, have generally provided a remedy ton the evil, by enacting that no law shall contain more than one ob ject, which shall J plainly expressed in its iiue. ine constitutions 01 more than half of the States contain substan tially .this provision. The public wel fare "will be promoted in many ways by a return to the early practice of the government and to the true principle of legislation which requires that every measure shall stand or tall according to its own merits." He savs: "This Congress has ample opportunity and time to pass the ap propriation bills, and also to enact any ?olitical measures which may be de ermined uponin separate bills by the usual and orderly methods 01 proceed ings But a majority of both houses have deemed it wise to adhere to the principle maintained in the last Con gress by the majority of sfhe sHouse of Representatives,! namely: ?That the House of Representatives has the sole right td originate bills fox raising reve nue, and therefore, has the right to withhold appropriations upon which the existence of the government ma? depend unless thevSjeaate' and President shall give their assent to any legislation which the House may see tit to attach to appropriation bills. To establish this principle is to make a radical, dan gerous and unconstitutional change in the character of our institutions. 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 consolidation of unchecked and despotic power in the House of Repre sentatives. A. oare majority of the House will become the government, the exeaave will no longer! be what the f ramers'of the constitution intended an equal and independent branch of the government. The principle of this bill places not merely the Senate and executive, but the judiciary also under the coercion and dictation of the House. The . House alone will be the iudee of what constitutes a grievance and also of the means and measure of redress. An Act of Congress to pro tect elections is now al grievance com plained of, but the House may, on the same principle, determine that a treaty made by the iresiden v with the ad vice and consent of the Senate, a nomi nation or appointment to office, or a decision or opinion of the Supreme" Court, is a grievance, and that the meas ure of redress is to withhold the appro priations required for the support of the offending branch of the govern ment, f . , 5 Believing that this- bill is a danger ous violation of the spirit and meaning of the constitution, I am conrpelled to return it to the House, 111 which it orignated, without my approval."

Nicholls was discussed at considerable length. Complaint is made by shippers of grain from the upper Mississippi, valley that the regulations adopted vir tually amount to , an embargo upon the shipments of .grain to France and Spaing ,In view of the fact that Con gress has the subject before it in the form of a national health bill, it was not deemed advisable for the executive branch of the government to take any present action in the matter. Secretary Sherman made a statement as to the action of the banks and capi talists in securing the refunding cer tificates intended to be distributed among the people. It was the general opinion that there could be no method adopted that would secure the object to be attained by the secretary, as there were so many methods by which the certificates could be obtained by the moneyed class without any infraction of law. Lynching of a Negro Barn-Barner. Memphis, April 29. A telegram from Starkville, Miss., says: "On the morning of the 24th a large barn belonging to Jordan Moore, who resides five miles south of this city, was burned to the ground. Suspicion pointed to a negro named jonnson spencer who was in the employ of Moore and who was arrested for the crime, but on ex amination he was acquitted Last night Moore's other mammoth barn,, containing wagons, provender, agri-' cultural implements,etc,was discovered in flames. This time . the incendiary was caught and proved to be a negro named Nevlin Porter. He confessed and also implicated Johnson Spencer and others.
