Cleveland daily leader. [volume] ([Cleveland, Ohio]) 1865-1873, 1866-04-05

Mr.. JOHNSON always processes grea
faith that the people understand him, anC
in his speeches frequently expresses his de
termination to appeal to them. Had b,
adopted the eloquent simplicity of two o
his hearty supporters whom we heard dis
cusseng his recent veto, on the the streetl
last night, he would have saved the pro.
lixity of the first half of his message. The
commentary was as follows
HAnd shure what does he say?
@And faith he don't want a naygur to
get married to a white girl"
Tho President seems to have learned
well that system of political economy 50
popular with the Democratic party, which
demands protection" in the matrimonial
and labor market against the personal at
fractions and industry of the Hnaygur.'

AFreauenrErrer Corrnrteh

We alluded the other day to an error o.
he Cleveland Herald in assuming tia
the signature of the Governor vas neces-
sary to make the Metropolitan Police Bill
law. We are since informed, BY those
who read that paper, that it has made this
error not ono only, but repeatedly, since
the present session of the Legislature
commenced. TAe fact that the editor of
so old and prominent q paper
as the Herald is ignorant shat the
Governor Of Ohio has no veto power, in
dicates . general lack of information in
regard to the matter, Is regulated byjsur
state constitution, which justihes a brief
explanation. Net only has the Governor
no veto power, huths signs ne bills passed
by the Legislature. Even the sig
natures OF Speaker Of the House and
the President of the Senate are
not held TO benecessary for the valid
ity Of q law. 1t has been decided by the
Supreme CeGrt that 6 bill becomes law as
soon IS it has passed both Houses of the
Legislature CT, if amended in one house,
as soon as the amendment is concurred
in bythe other. The signatures Of the
presiding officers are merely affixed as
primo tGeie evidence of the passage of the
bill; but the journal record is the last re-
sort. Thus a bill sometimes takes effect
before it is signed.

Especial Correspondence Cleveland LEADER,1
FREMONT, O., April 3, 1866.
AT the election yesterday the Union
ticket for corporation officers was beaten
by msjorities ranging from one to So.
The following officers were chosen: May
or, John Bell Recorder, E. F. Dickinson;
Councilmen, VIM. E. Haynes, Jonsthhn
Stewart, Ambrose Oaks, Thomas Kelley,
F. ]. Greble Marshal, Andrew Powers.
The whole number of votes polled was
7ss against 542 last spring in the cOrpor-
alton. In the township the vote was l,0l9
The Cops. carried everything. Their gain
over last springs election is about 200.
Some local causes, and an apathetic feel
ing upon the part of some prOfessed Union
men, contributed to this result
They rejoiced and made night hideous
with their noise and perhaps felt better
than at any time since the assassination of
Lincoln The result is not surprising
when we reflect that the whole mora
power of the Administration has been
working against US for months, thus taking
the timid and faltering. If these Copper
heads, with all the strength received from
their Canadian recruits and Administra-
ton converts, cannot make a better show,
we need not fear the future.
At our caucus Saturday, the following
resolutions, offered by II. Everett Esq,
was unanimously adopted:
"ReSolUed, That General {. S. Grant
ought to be the next President of the
United States; and that we will labor to
secure his nomination and election"
We must labor to maintain the integ-
rity and unity of our party until Grant is
nominated, and Copperhead ballots will be
of no more avail than rebel bullets in Pre-
venting his triumph.
General Buekland returned home Fri
day from Washington, looking well and in
fine spirits. He is confident of the final
passage of the Civil Rights Bill. No con-
s~tituency in Ohio has a more earnest and
loyal member than our own faithful and
honOred Representative. He returns to-
morrow.

war are now flying this morning in honor

of them obtained interviews. During the

Cabinet called upon the President name.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
Senator Wright, of New Jersey, has ar
rived here, but is so exhausted that he
will not be able to leave his room to-mor-
row. Mr.. Dixon, of Connecticut is re-
ported improving slowly. If these two
gentlemen are able to be present when the
vote IN the Civil Rights bill is taken, and
nc others are absent the veto will be sus-
tanned.
IMPORTANT RESOLUTION By Mr.. RAYMOND.
The following resolution was introduced
into the Senate to-day by Mr.. Raymond /:
THAT q commission Of five persons be ap-
pointed by the President to consider and
report at the next session of Congress upon
some more speedy, cheap and reliable
means of transportation between the
Western States and the Atlantic seaboard
and to submit some plan whereby the ma
tioHal government can aid in providing
for said necessity, iii should be found to
exist; provided that said commissioners
shall receive no compensation tor their
services, and no payment of any kind, ex-
cept for actual travelling expenses" In
bringing this forward Mr.. Raymond said
be did not think it necessary to refer it to
any committee as he believed the whole
House were agreed that some further
means of Communication between the East
and he West ought to be provided. He
would ask that it be laid over for a day or
two, when he would call it up and explain
his views. The request was granted.
THE RICHMOND NEGRO CELEBRATION.
The case has not excited great eommo-
ton here, and it has not been the theme
Of general conversation. The facts about
it are simply these: The negroes intend
having a jubilee in honor of their eman-
cipatiOn, similar to the one they held in
the African Church of Richmond on the
9th Of April, last year. The secessionists
protested against il, and laid the case b.
fore General Terry. He gave them to
understand that he knew no reason for
suppressing the proposed jubilee. Two or
three of the rebels came up here, and laid
the case before the President. He referred
the matter TO General Grant; and, about
that time, came q letter from Gen. Terry, /
asking for the views of Gen. Grant. That
officer simply replied that Gen. Terry was
on the ground, and he was willing to leave
the matter to his discretion; adding, how
ever, that if the colored people wanted to
a great jubilee, there was no objec-
ton, and they must be protected from out
rage, and saying the President saw no
cause for interfering in the matter. Ad-
vices of last evening, from Richmond, are
to the effect that the jubilee will be held
as originally intended, and the defunct
rebels will have to grin and bear it as best
can. One of their churches, which
they had prepared for the exercises, was
burned Saturday evening-by rebels, of

He has rewarded contractors and cotton

he has given to them lands, and cattle
upon a thousand hills. His iniquities
have abounded. 1t is time he was con
fined. His diet should be bread and water;
he should be made to fast; peas should be
put into his shoes and pebbles sewed into
the seat of his pantaloons. He should be
compelled to sit on an iron stool and walk
upon a Nicholson paved cell. If Ken
lucky does her duty, there will be very
little left of him for mischief at the end Of
a thousand years. 1t will be safe to trust
him on parole after that time.

Digging WeIIs-HOW TO Determine
Where Water Is.

At a recent meeting of the American
Institute Farmers Club, a member rela-
ted his experience in this matter as fol-
lows:
An Irishman in his employment, in
order to ascertain where he ought to dig
to obtain water soonest, got a stone and
buried it over night in the ground, next to
the hardpan. In the morning he found
it quite moist but not sufficiently so to suit
his fancy. Next night he tried 1t in anoth-
er spot, and it was found very wet on the
following morning. There" said Pat
rick, "yOu will find water not many feet
deep, and plenty OF it" Sure enough, in
a few DAYS digging Patrick confirmed his
prediction, notwithstanding the jeers of
the workmen-fnding a vein which filed
the well to OVERLOOKING; and rendered it
exceedingly difficult to bail out the water
so as to stone it. The philosophy of the
operation seems to be that as great evapo-
ration takes place from the surface of the
earth during the night, the water rises up
from the depths below t. supply the loss,
and accumulates IN the vicinity of the
stone, often making quitea puddle.

Mr.. Carleton, and passed q few common
place remarks about the weather, sowing
oats, &c, evincing no excitement what

that there was a witness at least, of the
terrible deed, if not ar accomplice. New

Evans and that on hearing the footsteps
of Evans approaching, he started up and
challenged him.
The excitement throughout Lawrence
County is even greater than when the

lent that the case will not be allowed to
