4aoth.r Retuined BW-Besides the bill to repeal
the proyiao in tho Land Distribution Act, the
President Of the United States withheld his sigma
ture from The Bill which passed Congress prescri-
hing tho mode of taking evidence in cases of Go n
tested Elections Nor did he return it, but kept il
in his hands. BY this retention of i! the bill Is TO
ected Such retention is in effect Veto, without
giving 10 tho two Houses Of Congress the opportu
nifty Off epassng the bill mode Of de!e 'tug The
will OF the People, as expressed through their Rep
son tatyes even moro ezceptionGble than the
simple Veto.
We imagine no bill, likely to pass Congress,
which The President could have vetoed with less
propfiey than this. If there be any one matter
with which the Executive ought not to interfere,
surely il is the organization Of Legislative bodies,
and tho precautions doomed necessary TO
members to elect tho exercise OF their rights 10 pre-
serve order and dignity in the opening Of Congress,
and to exclude from seats therein persons who
have no legal claim TO them.
To any bill having such objects in view, his
signature ought TO he considered as a mere formal
Iny.
! OF tho necessity Of such precautions we had suf
fcien, evidence in the case oftho New Jersey cleo
ton three years ago, when the membors legally
returned were excluded from their seats, and sur
reptons members voted in, contrary to law, by a
majority created by the exclusion OF righ,ruI mem
BETS For part we dos,e to have no more
such scenes; u we trust though this bill has been
defeated, those members of the House Of Repre-.
sentatives who opposed to any such proceed.
ags, will not suffer the very first day of the next
session eff Congress to pass without iginating
anew bill; to guard against them.
We approhemd the most disastrous consequences
from tho retention of this bill by tho Pres dent of
the United States. There is no justice in the act,
and no good reason cnn be given for It. The bill
was ono originating in tho House Of Representa-
tives, and related 10 tho organization Of the body
where the bill originated. Here there is a direct
pa pabe Interference OF the Executive with the
legislature and in that most offensive of all forms
a concealed voto.- Express.

The following is from the American Mechanic,
paper neutral in politics, contains large amount
OF truth in a nutsshe:-
"We cannot help thinking it ridiculous inconsis
tency in certain democratic papers; to persist in
humping and humping at tho Wings about the
'whig times," and prostration in business, when
these papers doing all in their power to
continue and increase the "hard times by oppos
ing tariff, and thus draining the country of its
money to pay for imported goods"

OHIo.--The Cincinnati Times, a peu.
trail paper, publishes a statement which
proves that while Shannon's vote is about
the same as in 1910, Corwin's vote is 49,
la less than 1t was at that time. No won.
der that the Wings were defeated. when So
large number absented themselves from
the polls. The Times says the result was
brought about not By change of opinion on
national politics, for the Loco vote is NOT
increased over 1910. Deducting Hamilton
county, where over one thousand foreigners
were naturalized few DAYS before the g.
lection. nearly all of which are said to have
voted for Shannon, and it will be found that
he runs behind his vote of that year. In
the seven counties of Ashtabula, Cuyahora,
Erie. Guernsey, Lake, Summit, and Nus
kingum. Corwin's vote this year falls exact.
ly 3 GIG short of his vote of 1910, whine in
the same counties Shannon's vote only va
ries 90 from that of 1910. If the whole
Abolition vote be added to Corwin' s,the two
united will still fall over 5000 short of the
Wing vote of 1910. These facts show con.
clusively that the late triumph of the Lo
cofocos in Ohio is a temporary one, and
that by united ralley of the Wings they
can carry the State by the overwhelming
majority which crowned their efforts at the
last Presidential election. That they will
realize the importance of uniting their en-
ergies, and making such rally in lS44,we
have not doubt.

RHODE ISLAND. The Providence Chron.
icle states that very small portion Of those
citizens of Rhode Island who voted for Van
Buren,, in 1910, favor the movements of
Dorr and the "Banks and Beauty" party.
1t says AT the Presidential election two
years since, the Democratic party in this
State polled for MT. Van Buren, 1868 votes
Now we declare IT is our belief, based on
reliable and authentic testimony, that not
more than tro hundred and sirty odd uoterS
of that party may be classed as 'DoRRITEs >
we doubt If it will come up to that number,
for in this CITY we cannot designate but a
very few of the democratic party" as Dor
ties, and in the country towns, especially
out of this county, the number is contemp
tibly small. 1t is but truth and justice 10
both the leading political parties of this
State, the Wings and the Democrats, TO
state that they make it common cause to
maintain the Supremacy of the Laws, and
for the present, have laid aside their respec.
i've banners, and are marshalled under the
broad one which floates over the "RHoDE
ISLAND PARTY" and so they will remain
until every vestige of anarchy and insubor-
dination is rooted from our soil. The main
composition of the Dorr party is made up
OF the persons whose short residence in the
State would not entille them to vote under
The most liberal constitution. But for the
selfish and designing course Of the leaders
and managers of that party, who use every
method TO blind the eyes of their duped
followers we oDine that fha dasertions IN
the ranks of sound principles would be more
numerous even than they are daily becom-
ing.
