MORE VETOAS!

Albany was not jolly yesterday-decidedly was
not The balls Of legislation were not literally
dressed in Grape, but morally and metaphorically
they were. There wSs woe in many an apartment
which had receutly resOunded with frolic and rev.

heavy tavern-bills by enterprising gentlemen who
had been generously "goiDg it," on the strength Of
anticipated fortunes, utterly regardless Of expense

Iy asked what Old Bogy would do next. In
short, the Lobby was upjubilant, and its affiliated
strikers in the seats were alphabetically savage;
for the Governor had vetoed the City Railroad bills.
We regret, as truly.if not as keeDly as those who
have lost their almost pOcketed thousands by il,
that the Governor felt constrained to blast their
fond anticipatops. We wish he could have graft
fed them and at the same time been faithful TO his
convictions and his responsibility but, since he
could not, who can blame him for d)iOg what his
reason and conscience tod him was lis imperative

terested who does not feel sure tat the Governor
has done just what be believed to be right Is
there one who believes that he would not gladly
have done otherwise if he could have felt justified
in so doing We are confident there is not
Since the Senate utterly refuses to restore Canal
Tolls on the Central Railroad, or to relieve the
People from onerOus taxation by any substantial
equivalent we presume that among the vetOes in
embryo, is one for the bill granting State aid to the
Albany and Susquehanna Railroad. Clearly, this
Legislature is bound to separate in rather gruf
bumor. May we never look upon its like again

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

Col. Curts's Pacific Railroad bill, reported by
him from majority of the Select Committee Of the
HOuqe, was published in our columns on Saturday.
IL varies from what we would have wished to see it
in two important respects i. 1t designates GER
tain citizens of different States who are to form
with their associates) the Company who are to
construct the great Road; and 2. 1t locates the
Road on a Central route, with forked eastern ter
mination-One fork starting from Missouri, the
other from Iowa, and uniting not far from Fort
Kearey.
If we had a vote to cast on this BILL we should
cast it in the affirmative; so We should for any bill
that undertook, with a reasonable prospect Of sue
cess, to unite the Mississippi with the Pacific by
Railroad. We do not think the profer of Govern
ment aid contained in this bill one whit too liberal
If, then, we indicate what seem to us errors in
this bill, it is because we apprehend that they are
calculated to defeat its passage and thus delay the
construction of the Road.
We have no quarrel with the route proposed by
this bills but we object to the designation of any
route, or any termin as probably fatal to the sue
cess of the measure. The moment route or even
point of departure is designated, score or two
of Members are supplied with excellent reasons for
voting against the bill. We do not believe Col.
CuItiss bill can secure the votes even of Arkansas;
while it will hardly receive dozen from all the
Slave States. The Northwest may generally sup
port il; but we apprehend it will not. How, then,
is if TO be passed Is il 10 be carried by the un-
aided votes of the East and Center! We shall see.
We should have greatly preferred open cOmpeti-
ton for the right to construct this Road and an
award of the contract to the lowest responsible
BIDDER. Probably no better men would have
offered TO undertake it than thOse named in this
bill; perhaps none would have offered to construct
it on more favorable terms than Col Curtis pro-
poses. But the principle of open and free cOmpesi-
ton is wholesome and safe one, and We see no
reason in this case for ignoring it Had the bill
indicated 10 route, but allowed the friends of each
route to bid against those Of every other limiting
the entire sum to be advanced by the Government
TO Fifty Millions we believe il could have been
carried through both Houses. Now we fear it
cannot. If you think otherwise, just try to count
up the thity-three Senatorial Yeas required to

ELECTIVE, sOyEREnGNs.

European royalty winces because the Italians,
after carrying out peaceful and orderly revolution
in q manner which no statesman could improve
have finally settled their political condition by
choosing a sovereign by universal sUffcage. These
mOnarchs of old standing seem to forget that the
election of soveregns, OF of sovereign families, by
nation, or at least by that portion of it which, at
the given time has enjoyed political rights, is, at
least, as old as either the most powerful or the
oldest European dynasty. The BOurbons, the Haps
burgs, the ROmanofIs were all elevated to their
thrones by the free choice of the respective repre-
sentatyes Of the national will. The only difference
is in the fact that at those distant epOchs in France
and Germany all political action was concentrated
in the hands Of a privileged class, while at the
present day privilege is almost entirely extnglished
in the politics of the European continent. What
once was exclusive is now the right OF all. Besides,
the MOBILES barons, electors, of feudal times, were
in no respect superior, either in intellect or the
derstanding of their rights to the existing
Italian peoples while in political morality, sincerity
of convictions aims and purposes, they we're their
interiors.
Under the expiring dynasty Of Charlemagne,
France was torn by internal feuds, while it
was assaed on the north by the NOmans, and on
the south by the Satacens, just as Italy has been
by the Austrians, and by its petty domestic yraots.
Finally, Ludsicas the Lazy, or, as chroniclers
call him, the DO-nothing, breathed his last. His
children and relatives claimed the succession; but
the representatives Of the nation such it existed
at that time, met in the city Of Senls, and putting
aside the claims of Carrie, the sCarlovingian, de-
cided "that kingdom is not to be obtained BY the
"nght Of inheritance" and elected for their sover-
egn Hugo Capet, the grandson Of butcher, ac-
cording to some, or of German soldier Of fortune
according to others. Hugo CaPets principal title
to this distinction was that he HIMSELF as his father
Id grandfather had done before him, had defended
Paris against the NOrmanrobbers when the CarOyin-
gans ran away. Precisely the same service Victor
Emanuella lately rendered In Italy tho Eight of the
petty Italian tyrants Arule that wss good at the end
of the tenth century is even better now. The prin-
cplo Of election has the conservation Of time, and

MIR. POTTER AND TEE CODE.

The archives of the dueiiO contain good deal Of
remarkable correspondence, but none more so than
that which we publish in this mornings paper. We
do not recall another instance in which the chal-
kDgipg party has squarely backed out of the fight
which be prOessed to invoke for fear Of being licked
For men TO CRY enough" after sound thrashing-
to beg for quarter when completely vanqushed-to
run when it is evident that victory is impossible
these are not unusual cases. and are more or less
disraceful according to circumstances. But to
challenge fight both publicly and privately to do
il with much insolence of brayadO and assumption
of superior courage, and then TO decline the combat
the invitation 10 which was promptly and cheerfully
accepted, for no other reason than because defeat
was certain and death probable, is the most re-
markable instance of how bloody actions may fail
to wait on fierce speech in the records Of duelng'
We can remember only one parallel instance IN his
tory; it was when Bob Acres swore by blood,
bludgeons, and blunderbuSses, that he felt the
courage oozing out at the palms Of his hands.
Qui faeit per alum, Jaeit per Sc, is as good rule
in the duel as in law. Indeed, ii may be distinctly
recognized as more applicable there than anywhere
elSe; for the principal puts his life, and what is
more than life, his honor in tho hands of his second.

The debate on the Slavery question, which for
several days has occupied the Methodist Episcopal
Conference, continued through the whole Of yester-
day. and was brought to close last evening by q
vote on the substitute resolutions offered by the
Rev. VIM. II Ferris. These resolutions were los!
by the close vote of 80 to 81. Two more ballots
would have carried the question for those who be-
leye that slayebolding for mercenary or selfish
purposes" is sinful aud should exclude the slave
holder from the fellowship of the Church. The
Erie Resolutions which, it will be remem-
bered, call upon the General Conference to so
change the Rule of Discipline that all slaveholdlng
shall be cause for excOmmunication-were then
