THE VETO POWER.

The Reese River RspsMs upholds Gov
ernor Blasdel in his exercise OF the veto
power. Its issue of last Tuesday contains
the following calm and just article upon
the subject, with which we fully concur;
1 forbid, says our Governor, and so re-
peatedly and emphatically has he SAID II,
that it has drawn comment from the peo--a
pie in general, and severe censure from
Legislators favoring the vetoed bills.
The exercise of the veto power IS one OF
the highest privileges which the Consntu-
ton entrusts to the Executive. 1t Is
species Of despotism, and in the hands OF
an able and honest ruler as opposed to
weak or corrupt Legislative body is great
safeguard to the people. A Governor.
cautious, capable and conscientious, armed
with the veto power, is truly, as he theo-
ry of the Government intends, the highest
and most important officer of the State;
but without the veto and without the
qualities of uprightness and honor, is the
mere tool for dispensing personal benefits,
or trickster or tyrant.
Under our form Of Government every
act originating in the Legislature must
run the gauntlet of both Houses, the scru-
tiny of the Executive and the final deci-
sion of the Courts. In case of bill being
vetoed, it is in the power Of the Legisla-
ture to pass it by two-thirds vote, which,
in case the Governor was in error, could
always be done, and should, if the bill is q
necessity and plainly within the limits Of
the Constitution. Every person CONVEX
SAINT with the State Constitution, and an
attentive observer of the legislative pro-
ceedings will have noticed with astonish-
ment how the highest law of the land has
been ignored. The Governor, in the ex-
ercise Of his privilege and his duty, has
reproved this disregard of the Constitu-
ton by more vetoes than approvals OF bills.
For this he is censured by Legislators. and
accused of tyrannizing over them.
Our legislators should know that the
Constitution is the tyrant, and that the
Governor acts but in obedience to it. The
people of Nevada had seen the evils and
the disgrace of excessive special legislation
anu VI SOioLAkAbAOAAoA ~S1A
vention that limit be established beyond
which those entrusted with brief au-
thority should not go. The convention,
having no apple of discord in the shape OF
national politics nor clashing interests,
drafted constitution having in view the
apothegm, that "a people least governed,
are best governed" and limited the action
of the Legislature to the general needs OF
the State, and their settings to be but two
months of each two years; allowing that
it would require thirty days extra to start
the government in its first year. asg
The Governor has exhibited an appre-
citation of the fundamental law and the
peoples desire in the rebuke he has given
to reckless and inconsiderate legislation,
in the frequency Of his votes, and we
think it is our duty as it is pleasure to
uphold him in his course and encourage
its continuance.

stAnotller Nail in the Rebel Cof1n."
Under such a caption, the Cell has an
article upon the fall of Wilmington. 1t
says: ... ..
sit is evidently an important link in the
great military chain which Graz is wind
ing and closing around the rebellion from
Nashville to Savannah, from Savannah to
Wilmington, from Wilmington to the
james, from the James to Western Vir-
ginia, and from Western Virginia to East
tennessee. There may be a few more
lesser links required to complete the circle,
before the Lieutenant General contracts
the immense coil and enchains the last re-
naming army of the Confederacy within
its folds. We shall then see whether the
leaders of this foul rebellion are prepared
for total humiliation, or whether they are
equal to the manliIiess Of acknowledging
their error and returning their deluded
followers into the arms of the Union. On
the. one hand. they have the choice OF
country desolated and ruined; on the
other, Peace. and its eongener,' Pros
penty. Madness might choose the for
mer; but reason and humanity would
dictate the latter. We cannot mis-
take the signs of reaction in the popular
mind of the South. Richmond, under the
immediate eye of military despotism, may
maintain deceptive silence but wherever
our arms have penetrated, there has
sprung up at once strong party in favor
Of Peace. The fall of Wilmington may
possibly turn the insensate frenzy of the
leaders to sober reflection and perceiving
the wrath Of q deluded people swelling
towards them. their fears may urge what
their pride might disdaln. Whenever any
respectable proportion of the people Of the
South eFince the courage to advocate
Peace in spite of JEFF. Davis bayoness,

lowed BY the fight ofthe Rebel Junta. or

indicate the growing sentiment OF the
Southern people for Peace. and from this
day we may date the swift coming night
of the Rebellion. Its redeemed orbirose

Oaks. its twilight glimmered at Savannah

Rebel Weakness.

"Ra.s desert sinking ship" is pro-
verb as old as it is true. The late attempt
of Henry S. Foote to make his escape
from the rebel dominions calls this pro-
verb forctbly TO mind. From the COM
mencement until within recent period,
Foote has been one of the most uncom-
promising of counsellors, the most earnest
of workers. Eccentric and fussy though
he may be, he has ability and some prin-
ciple, as he understands it. Though he
believed in the rebellion, and is undoubt-
edly physically brave man, Foote is not
Of those calculated to make martyrs. He
is willing to risk his life where there is a
possibility that the risk will lead to good
results, but he is not man to throw
away his life when there is no chance Of
accomplishing anything. Foote is also
a tolerably shrewd man. and can, as well
as most others, scent out the successful
party in political scrimmage.
Such being his general character, we
attribute his recent attempt to get into the
Federal lines, to a conviction on his part
of the impossibility of the success Of the
rebellion. He sees clearly that that has
gone in" and he wishes to get out. He
does not love the Union any better than
he did six months ago, nor does he hate
rebellion less. but he sees and knows that
the rebellion is lamentable failure, that
the sacrifice of his life and the lives of all
who have hitherto conducted it, can not
insure its success. Hence he wishes to
get out of it. Of course he attributes the
failure of the revolt to the mismanagement
of jeff. Davis, and not to the inherent
weakness and wickedness ofthe rebellion.
But that is no matter. His escapade IS
u confession, made by one of the most
prominent and influential of the rebel
leaders, that the rebellion is failure, that
it is doomed to overthrow. It is the most
positive evidence of the utter prostration
Of the rebel power yet produced, and as
BY giving that evidence Foote has materi-
ally aided the national cause, though not
desi:nedly. The Administration should
make it point to protect him if possible.
If the Government will only show its de-
termination to aid prominent rebels like
Foote in their efforts to break loose from
the rebellion, it will encourage others to
do likewise, and do more toward demon
alizing and weakening the insurgents than
would score of overwhelming military
defeats.-Bee.

Who WROTE THE PRESIDENTS Mes
sAoE.-There have been carping critics
who have raised at times the question of
the authorship Of certain documents which
bear the name of the President. A cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, writ
ing on this subject, says the original
manuscript of the inaugural, fairly cover
ed with interlineations IN the hand-writ-
ing of Mr.. Seward, is still in existence in
Washington. The concluding sentence Of
the Emancipation Proclamation is known
to have been Mr.. Chase's. The purely
departmental parts of one or more late
messages were originally written by other
hands. But the document, which, linked
with another great act, will 60 down to
history as having made this day to be
marked in the calendar beside that one
which gives US the Emancipation Procla-
nation, is of no uncertain origin. The
more important parts of it were heard by
the Cabinet, when for the first time read
to them, in silent appreciation. Not a
change of sentence or word was sng-
gested. And. if history wants any Bos-
wellian particulars, it may be interesting
to put in print the fact that the President
wrote the message on stiff sheets of asort
of cardboard, which he could lay upon
his knee, and write upon as he sat with
his feet on the table and his chair tilted
back in the "American attitude"

Rayoue,s and Iron-UInds.

The rebels are gradually being pushed
towards the sea. The war is now con-
centrated on the Atlantic coast-line,
where our immense naval strength can be
rendered available in cooperation with
our armies. Heretofore the navy has
been regarded somewhat in the light of a
blockading institution. Iron-clads and
gunboats seemed to have no other duty
than to chase English blockade runners
and perform police duty off few South
ern ports. The memory of the exploits
of Farragut, Dupont, Porter, Foote, Wins
low, and other brave naval heroes, was
passing away, and people ware beginning
to inquire into the expediency of building
SO many new vessels merely to catch few
pirates and privateers. 1t seemed like
preparing to catch fly under heavy
trip-hammer. But existing circumstances
warrant us in inferring that there was a
design in all this. 1t is not in the nature
Of things to suppose that our Government
was led by mere chance to adopt the
splendid strategical policy of first clearing
the Mississippi, and then steadily pushing
the rebel forces along the entire broad ex-
panse of the country to the Atlantic
Ocean, where they would be crushed
against the most powerful iron.clad feet
in the world. 1t was either Divine Provi-
dence or human design, or the former act
ing upon the latter that has thus drifted
the war after four years Of hard fighting
to coast-line where navy equal to
new reinforcement of quarter Of mil
lion of veterans would take part in the
struggle. The defeat of Hood in Tennes.
see has practically ended the war in the
Southwest, and now Sherman's army
composed of the flower of our Western
troops is brought within supporting dis
lance of Dahlgren and his iron-clads.
Those who remember the terror formerly
inspired in the rebels by our gunboats,
can appreciate the immense advantage
likely to accrue to US from this combined
land and water attack upon the confed-
eracy. For the first time during the war,
one Of the finest navies IN the world is
brought to bear against the rebellious
armies and the doomed cities of the Con
federacy. Bayonets and iron-clsds are
cooperating together in a grand effort
which can hardly fail to achieve the result
for which we have been SO long contend

The Wanting, Dragging days Of the re-

are filed with dependency and gloom.

The following are the leading features
Of the Bankrupt Bill which recently passed
the House of Representatives: n
First. The discharge of the honest debtor
upon the surrender of his property.
Second. The protection of the creditor
against the fraudulent practices and reck-
less conduct of his debtor. .f
The District Courts are to be made
Courts of Bankruptcy and the bankrupt
business, where there is no opposing ILL
terest, is to be transacted by officers to be
called registers. When there are oppos-
ing interests, they are to make up the
cases for the decisions of the Judge. They
are to be the hands and the eyes of the
Court but are neither to be clothed with
its power or its discretion. Receiving
fixed salaries, it will be their interest, as
well as their duty. to discourage ltiga-
ton.
Creditors are to have assigneeS, but the
law ignores the cumbrous machinery Of
official assignees, accountants, registry of
courts and accountants general. lnsol-
vency is a matter between the bankrupt
and his creditors, and can best be managed
by them under the direction of the courts.
Every question raised by litgants con-
testing the bankrupt's discharge, must be
heard and decided in open court, in which
respect this bill differs from other laws.
Commissioners appointed by the Supreme
Court are to establish code of rules tn
secure uniform practice.
Honest debtors are to receive an allow
ence, so that they may not be turned upon
the world without currency note, If they
have surrendered their effects for admin
istration and distribution among their
creditors.
Another provision gives debtor an
opportunity to meet his creditors. and, II
they are satisfied of his integrity and
ability to wind up his affairs under a
trust-deed, with the same effect as if the
proceedings had been conducted in the
Court of Bankruptcy.
