said the lady. "What proof have you of
it,, ,"inquired The shoemaker. "The hest in
the world" replied the stranger, "ior am
here, and aud Mr.. Pclsing are one and
the same person." And strange as it may
appear, such was the actual fact.
We'll. the question then was, whether
Mr.. Pclsing was q gentleman or lady,
and it turned out that she was lady, and
more than that, her name wasn't John
Pcsine at all, but Charlotte Conroy, aud
furthermore, that she was the 7ridow Of the
mnn that had been t0und drowaed. She
then stated that her husband, who was q
shoemaker in Philadelphia, ard 10 whom
she had becn married for about 2 years,
hadlrcaicd her very badly. The consequence
of which was that she PICKED up his trade
bv stealth. and when she thought she was
sufficiently perfect, equipped herself in
mems clothes, and ran oliIo this city TO be
mare safely ouI The reach of her lord and
master. llcrc, as we have seen, she got
into the employment and remained in the
confidence of Mr.. Alowitt until The time
of the coroncr's inquest Immediately after
which she proceeded to Philadelphia,
where she learned that her husband. (who
had become IA wandering loaier) had, on
the hint Of some friend, set out for New
York abonl week before, to look for her;
but where, instead Of an injured wife, he
found Il Wairrv grave.
The upshot Of this romantic affair was,

This is the first instance, we believe, on
record wherein Il wife performed the office
Of Il coroncr's jurynan on the body of her

and the proposition Of the qualified negative was car
RED by a vote Of eight States against two.
Judge Story succinctly assigns the reasons for the
qualified negative 10 be, that there is natural ten
dency in the legislative 10 absorb the powers Of the
other departments and that without the federal
ecutiye would become, what il is well known the go
yernors of some States are, " a mere pageant and
shadow OF magstracy; and thai is security against
the enactment Of rash, immature and improper laws,
and shield 10 society against the effects OF faction
and unconstitutional legislation.
Nor is there any solid objection to this qualified
gaye says the same distinguished publieist. Il may
be urged that single man, though President has not
virtue and wisdom than belong 10 number Of
men. The question Is not how much wisdom or var
tue possessed by either branch of the government
but whether the legislature is not more liable to be
misled by spirit of faction and political impulses, 10
which the President is less exposed from the differ
ence in the election TO and duties Of his oicehe Is
misrepresentation of the whole nation IN the aggre

interests.
Nor says the writer is the objection valid
that the qualified veto may sometimes prevent the
passage OF good laws as well as bad " II can

be abused in the general The greater influence Of
the legislative body and the peril 10 the Presidents

Guilty is Of the first order Its exordum direct

narrative Of facts which exhibit the consistency and
the convictions of Mr. Tyler by speeches and reports
made in Congress- there recorded and principles
announced in popular assemblies and fastened by the
rrevocabe press 10 the history of the country There
is a sublime moral expression in that part of it in
tons which bind him TO the oath to maintain the Con-
stitution. There IL no suberfuge, but candid de-
claration and "a good confession" Moral and
ligious obligations" says the President, without
observance Of which no Government can be prosper
GUS and no People be happy" There is
sublime enjoyment in hearing such principles avowed
soemnly by the Chief Magistrate of great nation
nation destined to be the creates, that has ever ex
listed on the face Of the earth.
There is the Difference due to the coordinate De-
partment of the Government with the moral elevation
that follows the path of his deliberate convictions.

FORTY ONE TONS OF INDIGO; OR
THE CAREFUL DEALER

A petty Scotch trader, Donald McGrie, Of
Aberdeen, orders from his London correspon-
dents "Forty-one pons weight Of indigo" sta
ting at the same time, that if there was not a
vessel they must sget dRe."
Now, at the time this occurred, communlca-
ton between Aberdeen and London was rare,
and, at farthest, four times in the year was the
utmost extent that Donald McGre and his
wholesale dealers addressed each other. These
latter were very much surprised at the extent of
the order. and the reader will not wonder at il
when he is informed that they never could sup
pose for a moment that vessel could be order
ed on purpose to carry forty lone pounds OF ndi-
90 so, after much scrutiny of the very hero
glyphical marks of McGrie, all the heads OF the
firm took it firmly into their said heads that their
correspondent had fairly written for forty -one
tons.
The forty -one tons arrived in due time, and
Donald is, OF course astounded, but he has
Scotch wit enough not to betray himself. The
captain informs him that the stir made by get
ting all the indigo together besides the abstract
ing of so large quantity, has had great effect
upon the market, and that the article had already
risen three iarthngs on the pound ere he left
London. This news, however, does not at all
diminish Donald's perplexity, and, for day or
two he is at his wits ends, when one afternoon
he receives visit from the confidential clerk of
the London house who shipped him the indigo.
Donald, Of course, soon finds out his errand,
(Which was to buy back the indigo) and gets

PHoCIoN.
FOR THE MADIsoNIAN
THE VETO.

This power, lodged by the Constitution in the Pre-
sident of the United States has been repeatedly ex
ercised frs, by the Father of his country and scve-
raj times by other Presidents. As il has been
heretofore, it now, and probably will be the
case that they WHO approve the vetoed will
rail out against the existence of the power, when in
fact is not it's existence but its in the ind
vidual instance, which is SO much condemned
1t is true that late President did abuse the power
and some think he abused it more by the tina
the frequency of It's exercise II there is any one
opinion in politics better established than any other il
is that it is unwise TO argue and insist dsuse or
denial of power, by merely Of its liability TO
or actua) abuse.
1t is often urged by those who oppose the ercr-
else of the veto by the President Of the United
States, that the King of England has not exercised
the prerogatiye during whole century 1t is true CT
beeve,) that the last bill rejected by King of Eng
land was that rejected by William the Third in 1892
for triennal parlamens and that bill assented TO by
him. afterwards when several amendments had been
made to it. The influence Of the prevents the
pas -age of the objectionable bills Hence il is that
there has been exercise OF il for long time in
England. In this country, the secret and silent
gy OF the presidential office is not powerful
much cxerted and hence the ofener the occasion TO
apply its power openly. The srifes Of freedom are
better than the Doiseess sway of tyranny.
To show that the clamor against the presidential
Veto has its source in opposition 10 its particular
ercise and not its existence the unreasonabeDess OF
its xstence need only be pointed out. This can
be best done by stating Of the why the
President is las he should be) clothed with the quail
fed negative. The peremptory veto of the Roman
Tribunes, says Chancellor Kent :" who placed
the door Of the Roman Senate, would not be recon-
cileablc with the spirit of delberaton and indepcn
dence, which distinguishes the councils Of modern
times: and says Judge Story, the qualified veto is
mere appeal to the legislature ITSELF inviting revi-
sion OF lis swn Judgment" In the Convention there
was very little conflict Of opinion on the subject Of

A MODERN FAUST.

Among those individuals who should have
been seen some where else Yesterday morning,
might have been seen at Mr. Recorder Bald
wins Office of business, professional follower
of the great Faust, vulgarly known as '.jour

words an uncorrected copy of the works of in
temperance, seemed mp and bound by no tee-total
rule of entire abstinence He looked blurred:
or like a bad impression OF worn out wood cuts
of our American eagle, or of a runaway negro.

said the Recorder. "Who and what are you ~

the Recorder, "would have been at his case
