have the effect Of materially diminishing Federal
disbursements -
The protcctionists. however, have failed TO oh

Note Law has been extended tw, ve,,s
The thirty million Jill for the purchase Of
Cuba was' We think. very properly defeated, not
thas we do not believe it to be a good bargain

the folly Of making overturcs for anything that
we know will be rejected with contempt
The President, believe, hasnot, in bu, one in.
stance during the session, been callc. upon to OK
erclse the right of veto. lie has, we think, very
properly, put his foot upon the bill appropriating
tho public land with the osteI,siblc object Of
cndowing agricultural colleges, the circc, and
operation of which would have been to es.
tablish great federal bureau, to be filled will,

conterrlng any real benefits upon the country at

until the last moments Of the Session. The post

were defeated. Much has been suid but moth
ing done with the Pacific Railroad project. 70

that we have had less boInbast upon slavery

spoils of Office, the wire workers, the political
sooth saysrs of the party may. as usual, at the
sacrifice of principle and right, bring about n
reconciliation of oil difference of opinion Tie
breach may be healed TO achieve success in the
next Presidential election. The Charleston
