VETO OF THE RIVER AND HARBoA BILL---The
PreSDetatS vetoed the above hill on the Sd inst
The Table containing the amount of appropria-
tons, has been unavoidably crowded out of to-

"The President this day returned to the House,
with his objections, the bill making appropriations
for the improvement of certain harbors and rivers"
We give the message in another column, together
with the debate which followed, and which has not

connected with the principle which it involves

CEoHGE NJ. DALLAs.-On our first page will be
found the remarks of the Vice President OF the
United States, on giving the casting vote Of the
Senate on the Tariff Bill We agree with the Union:
80 In reviewing the whole process of the passage
of the new measure, we turn with especial pride
and pleasure to the noble stand assumed, and the
high and statesman-Ike views expressed, by the
Vice President Seldom has a momentous vote
been given BY high public officer in this country
under more imposing circumstances. Seldom has
the performance of high constitutional duty been
placed upon more Gle, ated and commanding
grounds. The clear and comprehensive survey Of
his whole position which the Vice President pre-
scented in a few weighty words will command the
respectful admiration of the whole country. Mr..
Dallas has strongly indicated his Calm to the con.
fdence which his great constituency had reposed
in him by his election. Without wavering and
without effort in frmness of purpose. with com.
prehensive view and clear perception, he has risen
to tie whole height of his position. He has per-
formed his duty. He has rendered his reasons.-
Let him wear in all honor the laurels which he
has won"

The New REVENUE TARlFF BILL.-We
hail The final passage of this Bill through
both Houses of Congress as grand and glo-
rious triumph of the free trade principles of
America. Every artifce and means that could
be commanded, were brought to bear against
it. Bot, notwithstanding all this, and the
treachery Of the Democratic Senator from North
Carolina, the bill has trinmphed and become
the law of the land. The House of Repre-.
sentatves concurFed in the Senate's amend
ment, and the President affixed his signature
to it on the soth July, 1876. 1t goes into OPP
Grafton on the 1st Of December next.

We will now give ore or two extracts on the
other side. in order that our readers may see that
the above extract do not go to prove that all the
presses of Pennsylvania TEEN with such language
as we have quoted above.
The editor of the Pennsy lvanian, in refer
rino to the passage of the tariff bill thfeugh
the Senate with an amend ment, says;
GAS we shall have, in all probability, some.
thiag to say upon the subject hereafter, we re-
frain extended comment at present, with the
mere expression that, while in our opinion the
change is TOO sweeping, We do not believe 1t
will bring ruin upon country in the full vigor
of youth, enterprise and intelligence. 1t may
give an opportunity for panic makers to indlte
lugubrious articles, but even panic cannot
live through two quarters Of the moon, III a
land like this.
"Our friends in the interior, and elsewhere,
mus prepare, should this bill finally pass, for
all the panic appliances of the Wings. The
materials are doubtless, all ready in the hands
of those political chemists of the North .Ameri-
can and y. s. Gazette, and every effort will be
made, of course, to make the thunder thus
manufactured, effective and startling. Bntthe
storm will pass over and leave all clear a.
gain !"
|" And in his next, while publishing the fact
tina, the amendment had been concured in by
the House of Representatives, he uses the fol-
lowing manly, liberal and sensible language :
RI" The measure which is substituted for it,
may not be as acceptable to Pennsylvania as
it should have been but it will secure justice
to other States Of the confederacy. and will,
we believe, eventually, be even satisfactory TO
us. 1tmay not countenance enormous profits.
1t may not make for few overgrown monopo-
lists fortunes every year but it will give them
reasonable compensation for their labors. 1t
will not, certainly, be any worse upon the far
mers than the Tariff of lS42, but will, we be-
lieve, promote their welfare in far greater
degree. At all events, it will be permanent
measure; and in spite of the clamor of the
Wings, and the alarm of the manufacturers,
will work benefcially to the country in the
end. By yielding some of our own prejudi-
diees to others, equally members of the Union
with ourselves, we insure steady and estab-
lished system, and know exactly how far to
extend our business operations A very promi-
nent manufacturer said TO US few days ago,
that the bill was not half as bad as the panic
mongers would make it. Let it pass he
said, but let it be permanent and need moth

TEXAS Subtitle Houston Telegraph says
that the section of country lying West of the Neu-
ces, bordering the coast, is nersected by nu-
merous shallow inles and bays, into which the salt
water of the Gulf flows during Winter, but in Sum
mer, owing to intense solar evaporation, they be-
come dry, and covered with of salt three
or four inches thick, equal in every respect TO the
Turks Island which is the best for preserving meat
and fish. The dry climate Of Western Texas
rain seldom falling in the summer months-makes
the process of crystalization exceedingly rapid and
millions of bushels may be procured for the mere
trouble of collecting it.
