MIR Reeder Giving His Reasons foi
His VetOes


la late letter in the n. Y. Times. writ
ten to correct misstatement OF that journal
with respect to his veto of the action OF the
Kansas Legislature ia toto. Ex-Govemor
Reeder says;
did not veto any act of the Legislature
upon the ground that it was mo Legisla-
ture." Ny veto was based upon the reason
that tho Legislature had passed the act in
question at an improper place, and not upon
any organic defect in the body ITSELF and
the distinction is broad and palpable one.
A Legislature may have a sound aud legal
organization and an unquestionable official
tenure, and yet, when attempting an official
act at an unauthorized locality. It's action will
be nugatory aud void.
The principle may be familiarly illustrated
10y the case Of an Alderman or Justice of the
Peace administering an oath, taking an ac-
acknowledgement OF doing any other official
act outside OF the particular district for
which no il elected or appointed; or Of a
Marshal. Sheriff, OF Constable serving pro-
cess out of his especial bounds. The act
would be declared void by any tribunil com
petent 10 supervise il, and yet the decision
would not at all affect the Office itself.
And I may add that were the reason OF
the message such as you represent it, still
nently proper as communication from the
Executive, to make known 10 tho Legsla-
tive Assembly that at that place he could not
cooperate with them in any attempts ut legis-
l.tiou.

For tho Indiana Slate Sentinel.

| notice in tho Sentinel OF yesterday, a
friendly mention Of the name OF person as
proper candidate for nomination to Con-
gress.
| do not know that individual preferences
have any greater effect, expressed through
the columns of a newspaper than upon the
street; but as 1t seems to be tho fashion, per-
NIT me to suggest to the people Of this Dis
trict, through your columns, the name OF
Thomas d. Walpole. as one that think
would make them first rate representative
in Congress.
Indiana is a proud State-worthy to stand
among the first in Congress-and she ought
TO have in Congress her most talented men.
Does any doubt the talent-the genius OF
Dir. Walpolo? Amongst lawyers and poll
ticans his name is familiar as one of the FORE
most among them. But he is too well known
in this District to need word in his behalf.
All that may be said is, that we Of this
District. need just such man in Congress;
the State needs him; the Congress needs
him.

for Superintendent of Public Instruction.
We have not yet had an opportunity of con-

ligence of the action Of the State Convention.
So far as heard from the nominations Of
Willard and Walker will be hailed with joy
by the Democracy Of this portion Of the Stat.
No man in the State has rendered the De-
mocracy of Indiana such efficient service as
Gov. Willard. and they will gladly avail
themselves of the opportunity now offered to
bear testimony Of theis appreciation of the
valuable services heretofore rendered them.

10th e p eople of the State of Indiana.
In consequence of the recent decision
the Sdpreme Court. in effect annuling tn
law prohibiting the manufacture and sale
intoxicating liquor as beverage, the under.
signed members of the State Central Tenn
perance Committee" at the request of many
friends, have deemed il advisable to call
convention of all the men of Indiana who
favor the cause OF temperance, and have fixed
for the day of the convention, the 22d of Feb
ruary A. D. 1885,, and for the place, Indian
spolis.
We believe that il is the earnest desire of
the people OF Indiana 70 eradicate the evils of
intemperance by sound and effective law
and that they are ready By all lawful and
honorable means, to secure that end tha,
they are well convinced that moral suasion

but just snch law can. s.s-s.-z---------.---is 2
Year after year thousands have petitioned
the Legislature for such law. thousands
have organized into associations. have ex.
pended their means, have devoted their time
and al their energies to accomplish That pur.
pose.
1t has become part of the policy Of our
State, 10 obedience TO the will of the maio.
rity, and to these loud aud repeated calls,
twice within the last FIVE yeats have the
representatives of the people enacted laws
restraining the free traffic iu intoxicating
drinks--twice have the Supreme Court de-
clared them void--twice has food of dis
order, misery, drunkenness, disease, crime
and death, been poured upon the unwilling
and unofending beads Of our citizeus They
are thrown again upon their native and in.
alIenable right of self defence Again they
must assemble and organize and petition. A
new legislature is to be elected new law il
to be enacted. Not till then will the regr
OF order aud sobriety be restored. The briel
experience since the snnulling of the law
has proved this to every reasoning mind. The
iiots, murders, and arson, the delerium and
death that stalk abroad in community tel
this. The voice of humanity, and the cries
of the afflicted equally declare this to be
true.
Therefore, the undersigned have deemed
it expedient that the people again should
meet In convention, to concert measures, il
accordance with their fixed and unalterable
purpose that Indiana shall be Temperance
State.
We do most earnestly recommend to the
people immediate action in the premises -
that they call meetings. revive their temper.

in sending full delegations at the time we
have designated. Let not the Sons and

gan died at the Office of DR.. Emery, dentist,

of chloroform. She was, before taking the

Cer The number OF steamboat accidents I

OF The number of steamboat accidents
during the year 1855, have been p, by
which 175 persons were killed, aud 1o7
were wounded. In 1854, the number of ac-
cidents was 48, with 5S7 killed, and 225
wounded. The great diminution Of disasters
for the present year is, doubtless, owing to
the steamboat law, which requires rigid in
spection of steamboats, before certificate Of
good condition is granted. The number Of
railroad accidents during the year was l42
by which 116 persons were killed and $50
were wounded. In 1854, the number Of rail-
road accidents was 1913, by which 166 per-
sons were killed, and $50 wounded. This
shows that disaster was less frequent on rail-
roads, and that travelling by that means OF
conveyance was more secure in 1855 than in
1854. The losses by FIRE in the United States
during 1856 are estimated at twenty millions
of dollars, but this il probably an exasgera-
