The FIRST VETo.-In the early part Of the
session the Legislature passed an act trans
fering 100000 from the Swamp and Over
flowed Land Fund to the General Fund.
OF this amount some $4,000 were used in
paying the salaries Of state officers and other
creditors under Gov Downey's administra-
tion-leaving the balance for the new State
officers and Legislators. Gov. Stanford
found no objection to the bill, but upon the
passage Of a second bill for the transfer of
100000 has seen fit to interpose his veto,
and pretends to have discovered grave con.
stitutional grounds for SO doing.
The two Houses took the veto mess age
under consideration and manifested their ap.
probation Of the Governors legal opinion,
by passing the bill ovel his head in the Sen
ate by 27 ayes, 8 nayr; and in the Hocse BY
43 ayes to Is noes.

GRAND RAT HUNT.

About the hrst of last month forty
two persons met, as we learn by the Cir
cleville Watchman, and formed them
selves into a party, to be called the
I"Salt Creek Township Rat Tail Asso-
ciation.' - They organized by appoint
ing George Hosler and George Holder
man Captains on one side, and Levi
Holderman and VIM. Parcels Captains
on the other side. They then divided
the men equally, making 21 on a side,
and then proceeded to hum and get
Rat tails in every way they could
The conditions Of the hunt were as
follows: -... -
The party, or side that produced the
least count of Rat tails on the Goth of
December we're to pay Abram Dennis,
Landlord, So each for supper for self
and partner, the privilege of the Ball
room and enjoying social dance; and
the winning party to go in free of charge.
Friday evening, the goth came, and
Rat tails began to pour in by hundreds
and thousands. They appointed com
mittee to count them, whereupon the
result was as follows:
Levi Holderman, Captain, had 700
tails; VIM. Parcels, his Second, had
$500 tails, Geo Hosler, Captain, had
1864, and Geo. Holderman, Second,
had 730-the former two winning by
2,576. Two of Jacob Weaver's sons
had ], ITO tails. Whole amount brought
in by the parties 1870, making an av :
erage of about 413 to each man in the
hunt. The contest being over they
vent to supper. There were about l75
took supper, and about 800 present.
After supper they proceeded to the
Ball room, danced all night and went
home with the gals in the morning.
1t is estimated that the killing OF
those Rats will save $4,000 bushels of
grain in year, and if followed in each
township in that county, with the same
result, would save 535, 200 bushels of
grain every year, which would be worth
$4,000 at least-a pretty nice item.

swEAn1NG THE REBELS.

The N. Y. Times, at the close of some
comments on the orders issued by Gen-
eral Halleck in Missouri, requiring the
members of the st. Lo1is Chamber of
Commerce and the professors and cura-
tors of the University of Missouri to suh-
scribe the oath of allegiance, says:
Remarkable success seems to follow
these moral orders of fGen. Halleck.. The
great rebels ofthe Chamber of Commerce
came right up to the rack; the mercan-
tile rebels followed; one man of doubt
full loyalty after another pursued the
same path, and we expect to hear, in q
day or two, as the result of yesterdays
order, that all the professors, oFatars
presidents, contractors, and all the en-
ployed and unemployed in Missouri, out
side of Gen. Price $ camp, have declared
their eternal and unAinching loyalty,
This swearing process undoubtedly daes
good to the redels in many ways. It
shows what thin veneer secession is
when bitter old pro-slavery rebels can
cast it off and return to loyalty thus cas-
lily. A great number of these men, now
taking the oath in Missouri, belonged bHt
a few months ago to the class who lit
tie further South, ara now swearing that
they will never, never, never submit to
the authority aud supremacy of the ma,
tiopal government. But why may pot
the rebels Of Memphis, New Orleans,
Savannah and Richmond be all, before
another year, brought to at least'as high
a standard of loyalty astheir swearing
brethren have now reached. id MissGaria
1t only requires the same success to fol-
low cur arms in the most embittered Of
the rebel States to produce the same re-
suits as have followed in Missouri.

each whisk of her dish-cloth, keeping q
bright look out of the kitchen window,
and no moving creature escaped her
watchful gaze. At last her industry
seemed to be rewarded, for down the
street came large portly gentleman,
fourishing cane and looking the pic
tuse Of good humor. Sure, when he
was in front Of the house, out she few
and idforMed him that her mistress
wished to see him. 80
"Speak to me, my girlf' asked the
gentleman. l-s
eyes, sir, wants to speak to you, and
says that you would be good enough to
walk in"
This request SO direct, was not to be
refused, SO in state Of some wonder
meut, up the steps went the gentleman, i,
and up stairs went Bridget, and knock
ing at her Mistress's door, put her head
in and exclaimed
"Fat gentleman's in the psrl0a;;
ma'am." So saying, she instantly few

"In the parlor2' thought the lady
"What can it mean? Bridget must

with his blandest smile aud most grace
full bow.
Your servant informed me, madam,
that you would like to speak to me--at
your service, madam"
The mortified mistress saw the state
of the case Immediately, and smile
wreathed itself about her mouth in spite
of herself, as she said
"Will you pardon the terrible blum
der Of a raw Irish girl, my dear sira l
told her to call in the fat man to take
away the soap grease, but she has made
mistake, you see"
The jolly fat gentleman leaned back
in his chair and laughed such hearty
laugh as never comes from lean gentry :.
"No apologies needed, madam" said
he; cit is decidedly the best joke Of the
season! Ha, ha, hal so she took me for
the soap grease man, did she? Il will
keep me laughing for months, it's such
a good joke" ea
And all up the street and round the
corner was heard the merry laugh of the
old gentleman, and he brought his cane
down every now and then, and ex-
claimed, "It's such joke!"
