French SDOliatiOn Bill.

The bill which passed both Houses of Con-
gress, at its recent session, and which has been
vetoed by President Polk, appropriated $5000,-
900 TO such citizens as had claims against the
French Government, arising from illegal cap
lures, confiscations, &c. prior to the ratification
of the Convention between the United States
and France, concluded July 3lst, 1901. BY
the proceedings of Congress on the last day, it
will be seen that the bill was finally lost, two
thirds not voting in its favor.
In regard to the veto, the Boston Advertiser
says
/ "This appears 10 us TO be n case Of peculiar
nature, in which, the exercise Of the veto is
more inappropriate than in almost any other. IL
is the case of claims for losses suffered, by a
large number Of our citizens, from the lawless
acts Of the subjects Of foreign government,
where the claim for indemnity from that gov
crnment has been cut off by the act Of our own,
for the acquisition Of national benefit. The
claim has been repeatedly brought forward and
carefully investigated by committees OF Con-
gress, who have almost uniformly, II not with
out exception, reported in favor of It; and IL
has nearly as often been lost by the want OF
time ON the part Of one or the other House OF
Congress, to take II into consideration. This
,s We believe tlc first time that both Houses

treat during the heat of the Summer. and any
persons or families visiting there will ind at

tion they can desire We say this from ex-
perience, and dsinterestedly on behalf of the
gentlemanly proprietor Mr. Potter, whose
courteous and obligng demeanor we never
saw interrupted for moment. The terms are
low and the house roomy convenient, airy and
admirably furnished. More attentive servants
we never met with, and the guests are made
TO feel more as though they were at the table Of
friend than in hotel. The table is always
furnished at once literally and elegantly and
we confess that TO our thinking the Atlantic
House, for comfort and true enjoyment, is the
next place TO home. A good band is in attendance
three evenings in the week, at the dinner hour.

We stated in brief postscript to our
last weeks Herald the intelligence so
grateful to many Of our readers, that the
bill from the Senate, making provision
for the sufferers by the long deferred
French Claims prior to 1900, had happi-
ly passed the House by vote Of "a to
IS7, and was then in the hands of the
President Rumors, even at that time,
were current, from the peculiar opinions
and character Of the President, that a
veto was to be apprehended, or at any
rate, that he might be induced to hold
Orer the bill, (as it is termed) with a view
of indirectly defeating it. Most Of our
friends were incredulous on this subject,
and some even wrote confidently from
Washington that the bill would be sign
ed by him. But the event has proved,
that those who attributed to Mr.. Polk the
most narrow minded and unworthy preju-
dices on this subject, and every other
question in which New England feels an
interest, and hence inferred the probabil-
ity of a veto, were not wide of the mark
in their estimate of his character, and Of
the course he prescribes to himself on
questions Of this nature. 1t is not, that
any of the series of weak and flimsy rea-
sons set out in his veto, have their pre-
tended weight with him, or would have
suggested themselves to the consideration
Of any fair minded statesman, but il is
for the one, to him over ruling fact, that
the owners of, and sufferers under these
claims, are two thirds of them, citizens
Of New England, which has determined
him in the course he has adopted.
Mr.. Polk knows perfectly well, for no
one participates more fully in the feeling
than himself-how invcterate is the preiu-
dice at the South and West against any,
the most well founded claim, which ema-
mates from New England, and he is will
ling to avail himself, in the pursuit OF his
small party purposes, Of this mean and
discreditable state of feeling, without the
least compunction or regard for the bro
ken hopes and long deferred and righte-
Gus expectations of thousands in this part
Of the country who have staked their all
on an implicit confidence in the ltimate
triumph of honesty and good faith in the
proceedings Of their Government. What
is all this to him, or what signifies the
broken faith of dishonored Government,
if he can increase his votes hereafter at
the South and West, by parade Of this
veto; or if, in a single case, he can pro-
pitiate the good opinion of some leading
demagogue, who has made himself con-
spicuous in Congress by his opposition to
this measure THAT these, and not the
superficial and specious topics, which he
has put forth in his message as his rea-
sons for his veto, are at the bottom of his
proceedings in this business, we think al
most capable Of demonstration, for surely
nothing can be more palpable than the
weakness and insufficiency ofthe grounds
he alledges in that paper in justification
of his conduct.
