pretty sum of 1882, which includes the
handsome purse made up by the members
of the Davenport City Artillery, and pre-
sented to the ladies for the benefit of the
poor, for which they tender their sincere
thanka
They would also render their heartfelt
thanks to Messrs Edwin Smith, J. A. lie

PEOPLES BANK,
Presidents Veto.

Mr.. Buchanan 10 his zeal 10 defend the treas
ury, after having squaudered millions Of the
public funds, has, in ct Of enchmen, We
toed the Morrill, A Agricultural College bill.
The President transmitted message to the
House returning with his objections Mr.. Nor
ri!ls bill for granting ands to the several States
ard Territories providing Colleges lor the benefit
Of a gricultore ard the promotion Of Arts.
He says that according TO the report of the
Interior Department, over six millions Of acres
will be required, OF which the minimum price il
equal to 81 $50 600 This bill WAS passed at a
pefOd Of great fneuc.ai embarrassment, ard
should it become law, the treasury would he
deprived Of nearly all lis income, which for the
next year is estimated al s5OOO000 from that
soufce.
Should the thirty three States enter the market
with their lard ut scrip prices, the public land
would necessarily diminish, and considering the
many land warrants in the market, the treasury
would be deprived Cf so much revenue. should
tie time ever arrive when State Governments
look TO the Federal Government to maintain
their system the internal character Of both would
become greatly deierioraed. Hence the two
should be kept entirely distinct. Another con
sideration was that much land prccipilattd on
the market would benefit spectators 10 the in
jury Of actual cultivatoIs aud il Is doubtful for
the reasons stated whether the proposed grants
would cOnduce to the benefit of agriculture
The President argues the constltutlouaty
the question showing That il never was intended
by the trainers Of the Constitution, in an horzlng
Congress TO make the ncadlll regulations in rela
ton 10 the public lands, that the lands shall be
given away. lie purposely avoids any attempt
10 designate what portion OF land may be grant
ed, and for what purpose to improve the value
and promote the settlement aud sale of the re
inainder without violating the Constitution. IN
this case he adopts tie rule sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof
Mr.. Morrill, said the President has right to
express his opinion az 10 whether the bill is con
stitutioual or not and the members of Congress
have the privilege. he bill was not in
troduced az a party measure, and had received
the sanction OF OF all parties IN the
House. 1t measure near the heart OF
Washington, and yet the President sent mes
sage TO day 10 strike down the bin. perhaps he
only one proposed for the especial benefit Of ag
ricnture. The President has committed, if not
q crime at least bunder. Mr.. Morrill, briefly
replied to some of the Presidents objections.
The question was then taken on the PASSAGE o.
the bill, the Presidents veto to the contrary,
which resulted in-yeas l05; nays 90 Not be
ing two thirds required 10y the constitution,
the Speaker declared the bill rejected.
