A MOTHER VETO.

BY reference to our Congressional pro-
ceedings it will be seen that the Presiden,
has vetoed another Bill-the Ocean Mail
Steamer Bill This is n one man I,o,cer mos,
emPhalicaiiy, aud this thing OF deliberately
annulling an act of Congress is tyranny in
the extreme. This is the third time that the
President has exercised the veto power du.
ring the preseLt Congress, and this n power,
fully Democratic Congress, at that. What
in ths natural order OF things " i'll he be ex.
pccled to do when the next Congress con-
venes with majority against him! Talk oil
"popular sovereignty" after this setting aside
by one man, of an act Of the peoples rep.
resentatlves! An Emperor, an Autocrat, or
a Monarch could not be more art itrary o,
tyranncal.

| it here;
,'MR. EplToR-Permit me to call attention
to the Classical Institute located at Barnes
vile Belmont Co., o. under the direction Of
Professor Jno. |. Thompson. and 8. Daven-
port. 1t has been in successful operation for
about year, and has dJne more, perhaps,to-
wards supplying the schools Of southeastern
Ohio, during the present winter, with Tea
chers-"good and true"--than any other in
stitution OF the kind in that region.
Prof. Thompson has long been known to
the reople Of his section as a most success
ful and worthy teacher and earnest advocate
of the cause Of popular education. His as
sociste, Prof. Davenport, graduated a few
years ago with the highest honors at one Of
the most thorough colleges of the east. He
is known to his pupils, as a most thorough
liuguist, and an eminently scientific scholar.
Added to his ability, the mathematics. ac-~
compishments and tact Of Prof Thompson.
together with his large experience, render
the Institute one Of the most thorough ard
practical in the cot ntry. We know o. no
place better suited to young men preparing
themselves to teach, than the Barnesyille

Georgetown weekly news., 1855-04-12

Bag The Legislature will probably dis
strict the State, and order new election of
Congressman. Trinity Times.
This unquestionably should be done.-
Why California should be an exception to
the Constitution which governs the differ
ent States, we are unable to determine
The Law of Congress is positive, making it
absolutely necessary that members of that
body shall be elected by single districts; and
yet California over rules this Congressional
law, and proposes to elect in some other way.
Now will such proceedings be tolerated?
Will the people of California longer submit
to course of procedure so antagonistic to
the expressed laws of the land, as we'll as
the direct interest of the State? We think
not; therefore if correct in our position
wounld it not be good policy for our Legis-
lature to proceed at once in the Districting of
the State, and to the command of a LEGAL
election Of Congressman, to represent us at
the next sitting of that honorable BODY at
Washington?

ic despatch in the Sacramento Union, Mr..
H. RoBINsoN, has received majority OF
406 votes and is consequently elected.
At Diamond Springs, A. H. HANLEY re-
ceived 339 voteS-whole number cast, 424.
According to the Union despatch this cleo
tion is claimed as Know Nothing victory.
In the Georgetown, Greenwood and Kel-

has probably been elected. We have not,
however, received authentic reports. A
better selection than Mr.. REED, for this re-
sponsible Office, could not have been made
