-Such were the vetoes which Mr. Littlejohn
urged the Assembly to override, and which were
overridden accordingly by his vote along with that
of 50 other Republicans and % Democrats in the
House, and by those of - Republicans and
Democrats in the Senate On the other hand eigh
Republicans and only one Democrat in the Senate,
and trrenty one Republicans and only fire Demo
crats in the House voted to sustain the Governors
veto. Let US look at few samples of the support
soft
Far he Tetoes, A0dirst the Tttoss:
James A. Bell, Jefferson. Francis SPnola, Brooklyn
Fpbrsm Goa. MOI roe Walter L. Sessions Chautsuqua-
Thomas Hlhoue, Ontsrio Samuel II. Hammond, Steuoen
Perrin A. McGrow Cortland. David Fl. Abel, Livingston

Peter p Murphy Nisgars. Dewitt c. Ltlejohn Oswego.
George w VarisD, New York. James Darcy Brooklyn.
We pretend to no knowledge in the prem
ises than such as stands broadly out on the face of
the whole business. 1t is just as notorious that
responsible, honorable men would gladly have
given One Million Dollars for the franchises which
Messrs. Littlejohn & Co. voted, in overriding the
Governors yetoes, to give to George Law 81 Co.
for nothng-that is, nothing to be paid to the City
or State 1t is certain that if the Legislature had
seen ct, in accordance with the Governors recon-
mendatiOn, to require the corpOrators to pay half
cent to the City for each passenger carried by
them, that exacton would have provided a sinking
fund of at least 100000 per annum toward the
reduction Of our large and growing Public Debt.
In view of these facts, Mr.. Lttleohn thinks there
is room for an honest difference of opinion as be.
tween bis position and that of the Governor. We,
on the other hand hold that no one but fool
could have voted to override these yetoes unless
governed by some consideration aside from the
public interest-and we are quite sure that Mr..
Littleiohn is not fool. Ed. Tribune.
