Gov. SevMouh's Vero or rHE
Lieubn I'iht.1Govefnor Seymour
has vetoed The prohibiory liqnor bill
which recently passed both branches
OF the New York Legislature. The
Albany Evening Journal says the
grounds upon Which The veto is based
are substantially these
1st, That The bill violates the
right Of citizens, guaranteed by the
Constitution Of the United states, to
be secure from unreasonable searches.
Domieils, heretofore guarded from all
searches except for stolen property,
are, by It's provisions, 10 Be aearched
merely for evidence Of guilt.
I'd. That its provisions for the seiz-
tire, forfeiture, and destruction Of
liquors arc Inconsistent with the guar-
anty in The constitution Of this State,
| that nprivhte property shall not be
taken without compensation, nor with
out due proof oI law.
8d. That 1t will weaken the cause
Of temperance, by assosiating IL with
injustice and oppressson.
4th That it is SO stringent ard op'
pressive that it eaunot be equally exc
outed everywhere, nor fully executed
anywhere, and BY remaining unexecu-
ted will diminish the popular respect
| for the law and it's officers.
The Senate on Saturday refused,
| by yeas Il to nays -, To paes the
bill over the governors veto. A mo.
lion TO reconsider was lost by 10 to
IL.

pondeut of fhe Charleston Courier
writes 10 that paper that, during the
late overflow OF The Alabama river,
the Artosian well at Montgomery dis
charged much more water per minute
than st any previous time. While The
river was ut It's highest stage, Ii gauge
showed that The we'll was dischargiug
about three times the quantity Of waior
it had uniformly given out up to The
rise Of the river; and but for the
small circumference Of the spout it
would probably have discharged even
more. This increase Of flow was first
noticed ut the time Of the great rise
Ia The river, and It appeared to de-
crease with tue falling ofthe water in
the river-bed, until, ut this time, IL is
venting only its usual quantity previ-
Gus 10 the rise. The we'll Il about
four hundred yards from the river, and
its depth near seven hundred feet, so
that its source mus. be fully five hun.
dred feet below the bed Of the river.
The pressure Of the water of the river
upon the earth must have been very
great to effect, to such an extent, II
stream of water passing under its bed
