ANOTHER RETAINED BILL.

Besides the bill to repeal the proylso IN
the Land Distribution Act, the President
Of TIE United States withheld bis signature
from the bill which passed Congress pre-
scribng the mode of taking evidence in
cases Of Contested Elections. Nor did he
return it, but kept it in his hands. BY
this retention Of it the bill is rejected
Such retention is in effect Veto, without
giving to the two Houses Of Congress the
opportunity of re- passing the bill mode
of defeating the will of the People, as ex-
pressed through their Representatives
even more exceptionable than the simple
Veto.
We can imagine no bill, likely to pass
Congress, which the President could have
vetoed with less proprIety than this. il
there be any one matter with which the
Executive ought not TO interfere. surely
it is the organization Of the legislative bo-
dies, and the precautions deemed necessa.
ny by them TO secure members elect the
exercise of their rights, to preserve order
and dignity in the opening Of each Con.
gress, and to exclude from seats therein
persons who have no legal claim to occu-
py them. To any bill having such OBJ
jects in view his signature ought 10 be
considered as a meIe iormallty.
or the necessity of such precautions we
had sufficient evidence in the case Of the
New Jersey election, three years ago,
when the members legally returned were
excluded from their seats, and surreptl-
tious members voted in, contrary to law,
by a majority created by the exclusion OF
the rightful members. For our part, we
desire to see no more such scenes and
we trust that, though this bill has been de-
feated, those members Of the House of Re-
representatives. who are opposed to any
such proceedings will not suffer the very
first dav OF the next session of Congress
to pass without originating anew bull to
guard against them. Nat. Int.

prove Efficient, more vigorous measure OF relief
will SPEEDILY be resorted to.
On the first day Of March next, we shall have
been publishing the Gazette ten years, and there
are scores upon ouf subscription list. the color OF
whose money we have never seen during all that
time During the past year, our current receipts
have fallen FAT below our expenses, and the natural
consequences are, that we are ia debt for paper,

debted to the Office must pay them. We should
no, be put To the expense Of employing agents to
collect our dues but we forced it by the tar
dness Of our patrons. We have accordingly plac-
ed our accounts in the hands Of Messrs. Thomas
Bropn and Htiiam II Hayden, who are author
zed to collect and settle and trust those ndebt-
ed will make them immediate payment. To our
distant subscribers. whom cannot conveniently

Withholding from va the fruit of our toll, we hope
they may have luck with the paliry pittance thus
kept from until we can devise some mode Of
drawing it from them. 1t may console them to re-
flee, that they and their wives and children have
read the Gazette for years. and out OF the reach
of being compelled to pay, but it is consolation
that honest men should spurn. To those at dis
lance and at home, who have justly remembered
heir obligations to US, return sincere thanks
and hope their example may have iis influence on
all those who are delinquent.

A CONVERT To MEsMERIsM.-Mr.T hos.

ism or Animal Magnetism. Nothing ca
sier for him. After supporting, il not be-
ieving in, all the political humbugs of the
day, it would have been inconsistent, Il
not ungenerous, had he refused to support
Magnetism. If Smith, the Mormon lead
'er, were to visit Richmond, he would,
more than likely, be able to add the
" leading editor Of Virginia" to The lists
of his converts. With the zeal Of a new
convert, the editor of the Enquirer devotes
more than a column and half Of the
broad. close columns of his paper, to an
article on Magnetism. At this rate, he
would just, give three columns to Mesmer-
ism. -BdH. Pat.
