The National Intelligencer of March
Z. says:-The Treasury Order (the Spe-
Gle Circular) of July lth. 1886, SO much
so universally, and SO justly complained
of, is not rescinded. repealed, or super
seeded. Both Houses, it is true, BY We
ny large majorities. passed an act, re-
scinding and superseding this obnoxious
order; but the President neither approx
ed it nor negatived it. He put it in his
pocket. 1t was presented to him some
days before the adjournment but these
days not being ten, he mad right, as he
CONSTITUTES the Constitution, to do neither
one thing nor another. He did not e.
ven inform the Senate, With whom the
bill originated, tn at he had not time TO
consider The bill. He had, doubtless. a.
bundant time; but, as the bill had pass
ed both Houses by more than two. thirds
of each, he probably foresaw, that if he
returned the bill, with his objections. it
would still be passed by the constitutions
al majority, and SO become a law. with
out his consent. He chose, therefore, TO
hold it back from all further proceeding
or action OF Congress, and in that way to
defeatIt. We hold this to be the most
exceptionable of all the modes of exerci-
sing the veto power, because it is the
least responsible. and because it deprives
Congress of an opportunity Of exercising
lis constitutional authority Of passing a
law by the votes of two-thirds of each
House, without the consent, or against
the will, OF the President On this occa-
sion, the strongly expressed, undoubted,
and notorious will of much more than
two-thIrds of both Houses has been
knowingly and Intentionally disregard
ed. The will of one man has triumph
ed over the will of the People. This is
the unqaestionable and uDquestioned
FACT: and we leave COMMENTARY TO
others, or to another occasion.

hlcted, especially aged persons. Business
was almost entirely suspended -i3O
clerks were absent from the Bank of En-
gland on the same day, and the like in
convenience was felt at all other public
establishments.-The disease is said to
resemble the influenza which prevailed
III Great Britain and other parts of the
world in 1884. The sym ptoms are
tightness in the chest, difficulty of brea tn
