THE PREsrpESr's VETO OF THE FREscH
SPoLIArios l,lLL.-lt is u long document,
but will in every respect greatly disaPpoint
the public. 1t throws no new light upon
the subject, and its principal apology for the
veto is that great men in former days did
not approve the measure. On the other
hand the President ignores entirely the
facts that great men and true patriots have
also approved il, that il has twice been
passed by Congress, after the veto Of a for
msr President. We cannot help thinking
that the principal motive for President
Piorce'. veto has been exposed by our

tr,- In the Court of Justices yesterday,
William A Sweet, George Pell and James
Omrod were acquitted of the charges against
them for alleged violations of the Maine
Law. In the first two cases, one Of the
witnesses, who had undoubtedly been sum
moned to crafty the malicious ana reveng-
fu feelings of some person or persons who
have not the manly courage to avow that
they caused him to be summoned, declined
answering a question as to whether he had
purchased liquor of the DTS. (; he was fined
Sl5 in each case tor declining to answer.
We contend that witness cannot legally
be compelled to testify as to purchases
which he may have made himself, because
this very law makes it a crime TO drink IL
quor, inasmuch as man found drunk is
liable to be punished by tho Court upon
conviction.

valuable than the former. Indeed, we

We perceive from our exchanges that,
the citizens of Fall River so highly prize a
