That the purMse for which the etm tftimi was called has thus failed ami ill ultimUelv fail in the fault of the Republican party and a Republican President. Controlled by poiiti.-al omsiderutions the President h.s interposed the eto power of the Government and stnpns the wheels of legislation. This he has a rizht to 1o. Congres-s is but a wrt of the legislative power. The veto power is uiepiali tic 1 1 y vested in the President by the i-onsti -tution. ami none ran establish a stand ard of either intelligence or fidelity for it.s exercise. When a bill is vetoed Co tip re imit respect the Fxecutive authority jtist as it rlaims res pert for it own authority. This is sound Dem ocratic doctrine, if we have read aright the traditions and principles of that grand old arty of tolerance and fr-e-dnm. The law authorizing the presence of soldiers at the jsdls cannot te ree.iled without the assent of the President. In his message efoinir the army bill he insists tisn the right to summon the army for this illegal and revoln tionary purpose. Congress i-iui atsdish the army, but not w ithout the assent o the President. A ppropriat ions for the aupport of the army may le w ithheld. That can le done without the absent of the President. The army can le diaudcd in this way without the as sent of the President. I 'an this I, done in safety to our frontier ?

Federal su erv iors and marshals can arrest voter vvithout process of law under the election .w as it 1 1 w stands, but Congress c-annt res-al this infamous law without the assent of the President. That lie will not con vent is very certain. By w ithholdiug appropriations this Congress can desti oy the Government itself, but it ran not rejeal the simple: law without the assent of the President.

Then somebody w ill w rite him a letter regarding his candidacy, and he will write, or have w ritten lor him, a ring ing answer declining to le a candidate, the convention will be held and he w ill le nominated by acclamation. This i.s the programme; hut there's many a slip, iltn t you know The Presidency is too big a thing to be "set up." and when the result is reached some une.ected man, such as Lincoln and Hayes w ere, may w ake up and find himself the Re !uh!icati candidate for the Presidency. William K.

Wiley. From the Liv ing Writers of the South. The Row Mr. Wiley is tho man to whom the cause of common school edu cation in his own State is the most I deeply indebted. Nor has his influ ! once lcen conlined to his own State, I but the South has felt it; nor is it eon j fined to common school education, but, extends to education in general, and to literature itself, j Mr. W iley was lorn in (.iuilford county, on the Ul of February, I s 1 1; and I graduated at the I'niversity of that I State, located at 'hapel Hill, in 1S40. j While at the University lie studied law, and obtained his license to prac ! lice soon alter graduation. In s"o he was elected to the State j Legislature, and again in 18."li. At the ensuing session ( ls.J-,.) the ollico ol State Superintendent of Common Schools was created and he w as elected to it by the Legislature. The term was for two years and he was six times re elected by a vole almost una limous. So successful and satisfactory was his administration of this su pei in tendency that every one of the live governors under whom he served made commen datory mention of it; and the press of the entire Slate expressed its approba tion in equally lavorable terms. So ellicient was the system that the schools were kept in regularoperation through out the entire war of tour years, a lact, I bcliev e, no othei -Southern Slate can boast. In InV; he was licensed to preach by the orange Presbyiery, of which he i.s still a member. Since the war. until the last recon struction, he was connee'ed with the State Hoard of Literature, being a mem ber of n under ' iovernor Worth. He has been cotiW'cted, as associate editor, with several journals and has published pule a number of pamphlets. He was instrumental in establishing a State Kducatfoiial Association, which pub lished a journal, ol which he was one of the editors. The association and its journal kept up until the close of the war. inning the war Mr. Wiley was tjie prime mover in establishing at ircciishoro a publishing house to sup ply the Slate with text books; also, in organizing, at Columbia, South Carolina, an educational association for the Con federacy. This soon fell through. Mr. Wiley's literary labors in book form aie, "Alamance or the ireat and Final Fx peri men t;" an historical hovel, which wa.s published by the Harpers in 1M7. The scene is laid in the author's own country, the tune being that of the American Revolution, in 177. It had decided success though its popularity was in some degree local. The author enjoyed the great adv antage of having pcrhvt knowledge of his localities and people with their nationalities and other general characteristics. The only in vention required was the plot and that was in some degree historical. The work was hrst earned to l'rotessor by the magistrates. Under the lead ership of (iaston and Noah, the Feder alists, as'xhey were 'then, known, de feated it by overwhelmingbdlls. Young Black ledge appealed to the pple a,1,i in the succeeding election' Republican Democratic legislature was electod. Blackledge, of course, was denounced as a demagogue. John H. Wheefer was re-elected to the House, being one of the few voting acrainst Rlackledge's bill, that escaped the political guillo tine. In a room in the old Yarboro Hotel, j along w ith several others, in 127, , young Wheeler was licensed to prac- ' tiee law. In l,s,W he was a candidate ! for Congress in the Edentou district and was defeated bv W. B. Sheppard. , In 1831 he was appointed by President j Jackson a member of the Board of Com- J inissioners for the adjudication of claims ; growing out of the Berlin and Milan decrees. In lsttj he was appointed Su- I perintendent of the Mint at Charlotte, N C. In the political revolution of 1841 he shared the fate of the Democrat ic party, lie resigned the directorship of the mint and retired to his valley farm on the Catawba in Lincoln county. In 1842 he was elected Treasurer of the Stale by the Legislature. At the expiration of two years of honorable service in that capacity he again retired to his farm, and at the suggestion of ex Gov. Swain, then President of the Uni versity, began the patriotic labor of writing "Wheeler's History of North Carolina." How w ell this work was done is shown by a letter from Gov. Swain, which the writer has selected from among numerous testimonials in the possession of the author. Not long before his death Gov. Swain wrote: "I "have been much urged to undertake a "completion of Hawks' history of North "Carolina. The only response I have "ever made is that I am too old and too "poor to venture such an experiment. "Were it otherwise I think another edi "tion of Wheeler's History would be "more useful and more acceptable to "the country than anything I could "write." The material for a second edition has been collected and arranged and if not published during the author's lifetime it becomes at his death, by will, tho property of North Carolina, together with his largo and valuable library. In 1844 his name was prominently mentioned for Governor. He was in dorsed bv the Wavne eountv Demo- "AH SIN'S "' TRICKS ! ANOTHER GOOD MAN GONE SEH YORK CITY. The "Heathen Thlnee" Tnrtn Chris. . tian Ills Moral Improvement More Apparent than Real. Chicago Tribune. In a recent article upon the May meetings in New York, we congratu lated the readers of the Tribune that Moy Jin Kee, a Chinaman, had opened a school in that city for the instruction of his brethren, and was also about to commence a work of reviving grace among them. It is with a feeling of sadness that the Tribune now has to in form its readers that this good man with the almond eyes and luxuriant pig-tail lias gone wrong, and that he evidently is of near kin to Bret Harte's friend, who was so childlike and bland, and who played it so dreadfully upon Bill Nye and his partner. Moy Jiti Kee has played it equally fine upon the minis ters, the brethren and sisters of tin Methodist fold. The particulars of Moy Jin Kee's fall from grace are not without a mournful degree of interest. Some time since, Mr. George Reed, the editor of the Urooklyn Fagle, while in California, engaged Moy Jin Fuey, a brother of Moy Jin Kee, as a servant, anil took him back with him to New York. He proved to be an honest and capable man, and when later Moy Jin Kee came on from California to see his brother, Mr. Reed gave him the free dom of the liouse until he could find perinatieut quarters. As he appeared to be very smart and his conduct was irreproachable, Mr. Reed took great in terest in him, and procured him a situ ation in a large fancy goods store kept bv Mr. Parke. The latter also became greatly interested in him, and, noticing that he displayed considerable knowl edge of theology and wjis piously in clined, he introduced him to some of the Methodist ministers, who at once took so much interest in him that thev proceeded to convert him to Christian that we stop anywhere yofa will leav8 one of my cards at the house before which we atop." ' The carriage starts and stops atdifferent places, a card being left at each house according to the in structions received. At last, on-stopping before a certain dwelling, the lady orders her servant to leave three cards 4 for different members of the family. "Oh, madam, I cannot!" "You cannot, and why?" "Because, madam, all I have left is an ace of clubs and aknave of diamonds!" The simpleton had been distributing a pack of playing-cards. SeotCs Money Troubles. The external course of Scott's life, says the Republican's genial "Saunter er," was in the main wonderfully bril liant and successful until toward its close, when there fell upon him the complicated shock of financial ruin and domestic bereavement. It was just be fore these troubles that he began a pri vate journal; and the quotations from this make the most profoundly inter esting portion of the biography. Here is a characteristic passage, written when the cloud of bankruptcy was lowering: "Nobody in the end can lose a penny by me that is one comfort. Sad hearts, too, at Darwick, and in the cottages of Abbotsford. 1 have half re solved never to see the place again. How could I treat my hall with such a diminished crest? How live a poor, indebted man where I was once the wealthy the honored. I was to have gone there on Saturday in joy and pros perity to receive my friends. My dogs will wait for me in vain. It is foolish but the rights of these dumb creatures have moved me more than any of the painful reflections I have put down. Poor things ! I must get them kind masters. There may be yet those who, loving me, may love my dog because it has been mine. I must end these gloomy forebodings, or I shall lose the tone of mind with which men should meet distress. I feel my dogs' feet on my knees. I hear them moaning and seeking me everywhere. This is non sense; but it is what they would do could they know how things may be." SUNDAY AT HOME.

In his gratitude to Mr. Reed, he made him a present of an elegant silk handkerchief, which he represented he had brought with him from Canton. One day Mr. Parke called at Mr. Reed's house, and in the course of conversation Mr. Reed showed Mr. Parke the handkerchief, which the latter at once recognized as one that had been stolen from his store.

It i.s now probable that Mov Jin Kee will not go to the Drew Theological Seminary but to the Penitentiary. His moors in the cause of education and Christianity are permanently suspend ed. There is a vacant seat in his slip in the first Place Methodist Church. The members of the church do not like to talk about him,, evidently despising the manner in which he has plaved it upon them. It galls them the most that he still claims to be a good Metho dist, and still wears an air of sanctimo niousness and piety. In his interview with a New York Herald reporter he declared : "You see, everybody know he got sin; I knew I got sin, too; finally I lights devil and I love Christ: I knew 1 d be His boy, and that's what I am now. J he evident lesson to be learned from Moy Jin Kee's transactions is to beware of the Heathen Chinee when he is childlike and bland, and especially when he puts on a long face and an nounces himself as one of "Christ's boys."

"Yes," rejoined the lady, "but you are so lonu' aboil', it. I could write one in halt tin time if I only had a text." "oh, it a text is all you waul," said Dr. Nesbit, "I will furnish that.
