The Presidents Veto.

A great many of the Republican papers
have had their finer sensibiities outrage
ously shocked by the Presidents veto OF
the Agricultural bill. Epithets innumera-
BILE have been heaped upon him; in fact.
we arc reminded of the Nebraska bill times
of 1854. A large proportion of those who
are now so busily engaged in viififying the
Executive for his action in this matter, know
nothing of the provisions of the bill. or
tho reasons for vetoing it. We are glad 20
see tha, some of the Republican papers
have honesty enough to admit the correct
ness of the position assumed by the Presi-
don't. The Cincinnati Gazette, New York
Times, and several other prominent Re-
publican papers, not only endorse the
Presidents views, but commend them.
There is no good reason why the public
lands should be given away, when the
government is SO much in need Of the
money which the sale Of these lands would
put in the treasury. But the advocates of
the bill say that the objec: is for the pur-
pose of aiding the agricultural interests of
the country; and is therefore benefit, not
only to the people, but to the government.
We would not attempt to disparage the
claims of agriculture to the benevolence
of the government but think it doing a
great injustice TO other meritorious branch
cs of industry to discriminate in its favor.
There are many reasons why the pass
age of such law would be impolitic, but
the above is sufficient to convince the
reader Of the business Of the Presidents
veto

A Good Idea.

A fliend suggests that it would be a
good plan to have blank Divorces printed,
TO sell them to parties in want of such
blanks. This would greatly expedite the
business, as all that would be necessary to
BREAK the tie that binds would be to OBJ
tain the signature of the Judge--who could
not. if any reasonable excuse was set up,
refuse to withhold it according 10 our laws.
This would give money to the moniless.
clothes to the clotheess and bread to
the breadless. To peddle these blanks
would be an inviting business for young
men out of employment anybody can ped
die them and everybody wanting divorce
would buy them.

The Solitary Horseman.

The men who inhabited the banks of tho Wa
bash river, in Indiana, some twenty five thirty
years ago, were probably very fine rsen in their
way, but the sway" Of some ofthem was sometimes
an unpleasant one.
At the time of which speak, the people of
Bagtown and Shagtown were having great con-
troversy as to where the county buildings should
be located. The Bastowners said they must be put
up in Bagtown, while the Shagtowners insisted
that they should be erected i'm Shagtown, The
contest was hot one but the ShaCtowners finally
conquered, and, the Jail and court house built
in Shagtown.
Near the close of a sultry day n August, as the
bright day god about setting in the western
hemisphere, a solitary horseman might have been
seen slowly riding into the neat picturesque village
of Shagtown. The Court was in session, and the
horseman rode leisurely up to the door of the
Court house. A young lawyer was addressing the
jury in strains of mpassioned eloquencc and the
venerable Judge MerkiDs was sleeping in his arm
chair.
The solitary horseman's 8 name was William Per-
kins, and he resided in Bagtown. UnsTinging his
rife, he took good aim at the Judge through tho
doorway, saying, in deep tragical voice.
"You slagtown folks have got the Court -'us,
but by I'll have "A pop at ye ~
file fired. The ball slightly grazed the left
cheek of the Judge and lodged in the woodwork
just behind him. He awOkc just N time t. see
the solitary hors:man wheel his stced preparatory
to going back to Bagtown.
"Iiold on, you ID rascal 2" shouted the
Judge, jumping violently up, "yOu shot that gun,

Ting down between Vice President Breck-
inridge and Gen. Jo. Lane The South
would prefer Houston as their first choice,
but failing in him will divide between Ken
lucky and Oregon. The North will then
settle the controversy.
There is considerable talk here about
the insulting language which passed be-
tween Senators Bright ahd Seward. in Sc
cret session, Oil the confirmation of Senator
Jones, of Iowa. The remarks of Senator
Bright were so severe that If Senator Sew
ard recognized the code of honor he would
have been compelled to notice them out
side the Senate chamber. Seward. howev-
er, is man who will not be driven, by
any insult, no difference how gross, into a
fight.

says:

says:
The Sickles excitement at Washington
continues intense. The illustrated papers
containing views Of the scene. and por.
traits of the actors were eagerly sought az
ter.
The affair is still the town talk, the ex-
element being increased by speculations
upon the result of the trial of Sickles
1t seems to be understood that as the evi
dence before the Grand Jury will be en-.
tirely er parte, bill will be found against
Sickles, and it is reported that such is his
wish, since he desires to place the history

A State convection was held at Harrisburg
last " ednesday. but no nominations were

opted endorse the policy of the Presiden,
in settling the difficulties with Great Brit

and in settling the difficulties in Kansas,

of citizens abroad. They advocate a revis-
ion of the tariff of 1857; also the ac-
QUESTION of the island of Cuba by honor

importance to the interests Of the country;
and recommend investing the President
with fall power to open and protect routes

doctrine of popular sovereignty, approve
the course of Senator BIGLER. and recon-
mend an Independent State Treasury on
the principle of the SubTreasury.
