cessity for the speedy completion of the Pa
cifc Railroad which will do more than any
other single cause to overcome and prevent
Indian difficulties. A sufficient number OF
troops should be stationed along the routes
to protect emigration and secure surveying

also, when necessary, to render aid in its
construction. 1t would be false economy to
suffer the construction of the roads to be

New York, March 2S.-The following is tn
tone Of the morning papers on the veto;
The Herald says that the veto exhibits thi
bill AS the most fragrant device for overturr
ing the reserved rights of the States in thei
legislative and judicial tribunals ever a
tempted in Congress. 1t appears 10 be
thousand times more objectional than h
freedmen's bill and the veto marks the i'm
passible barrier between the the Presder
and the ruling radicals of Congress. Hence
forth, there can be no Endorsements of Cor
gress coupled with pr ofe. sions of adhereuc
to the Administration.
The Tlbune says: Let us not think that h
vetocs the bill he might have phrased diffe

this particular bill, but any measure wherein
Congress shall attempt to protect the black

keen and searching, and so characteristic
that we are of the opiuion that the stronge
advocates of the measures will see how ver
important it is that the veto power shoul
exist.
The World says the veto is conclusive thi
the conflict between the President and Coz
gress admits of no compromise.
