no unnecessary blood shall be added to the
torrents that have already soaked the soil of
our devoted States. This Court entirely
agrees with the President in his oft repeat
ed declaration that - Treason is the greatest
Of crimes, and ought to be punished" and
that it is cowardly to punish the subordin-
ate and comparatively Insignificant, and al
low the principals to escape. We also con-
cur in the opinion that the leaders in the
late rebellion may be treated either as
traitors or public enemies, as they were
undoubtedly both by the laws of nations
and The common laws. .-a-sa..1=

Age OF Cows.

Mr.. D. A. Philbrick, of Hampton, N. H.,
informs US that he has COW that will be
twenty five years old in April He is con-
hdent there is no mistake about the age of
the COW, because she was bridal present
to the wife Of one Of his neighbors, by whom
she was always well cared for. Naturally
enough she was kept here as long as it was
thought prudent to do so, ON account of her
age, when she was sold to ''merciful
man." After keeping her year.or two,
his courage began to fail, although the COW
was to all appearance doing well, and she
passed into the hands of third owner, who,
thinking that if she did fail soon she ought
to do so, sold her three years ago to Mr.
Philbrick for SIS. Mr.. r. has since been
offered $50 for her as mich COW, l25e per
ID. by the butter For The last three years
she has given milk consta lily, and although
she is to come in in April, gives two quarts
of milk per day now To all appearance her
teeth are as good as those of COWS eight
years of age, as she can eat the hardest corn
without trouble. She is kept without Eng
lish hay the present winter being fed on
good fine meadow and bAck salt marsh hay,
and is in good condition. Mr.. Philbrick
says he intends to keep her, and see how
vel she Will do and no " long che will live.

found only on the northern boundaries of
Siberia, where the snow is eternal II was
discovered in 1863 BY Count Swinoskoff. the
eminent Russian botanist. who was emo

frozen snow on the first day o. the year, it
grows to the heighth of three feet, and
flowers on the third day, remains in flower
for twenty-four hours, and then dissolves
itself into its original element-stem, leaves
and flowers being of the whitest snow. The
stalk is about one inch in diameter the
leaves, three in number, in the broadcast part
are an inch and half in width and are
covered with intinitesimal cones of snow ;
they grow only on one side of the stalk, to
the north, cGrving gracefully in the same
direction. The flower, when fully expand
ed, is in shape of perfect star; the petals
are three inches in length, half an inch
wide in the broadcast parts, and tapering
sharply to point. These are also inter-
laced one with another, in beautiful man
ner, forming the most delicate basket of
frost work that the eye ever beheld; for
truly this is frost work the most wonderful.

From New York.
Inc Veto


NEW YORK, March 2s.-The Herald
SAYS that his the President's) objections,
on constitutional grounds, exhibit this bill
the Civil Rights Bill as involving the
most fragrant device for overriding the
reserved rights of the States in their legis-
latures and judicial tribunals ever at
tempted in Congress. We had supposed
this bill, in a new shape, a sort of repro
duction of the old fugitive slave law, but
under the searching analysis of Andrew
johnson it appears a thousand times worse
than the rejected Freedmen's Bureau ex-
pertinent, and nothing less than a bill of
unconstitutional denominations from the
beginning to the end. The objections
submitted against the first section of the
bill, however, are those which make the
impossible barrier between him and the
ruling radicals of Congress. The veto is,
in fact, an emphatic declaration of war
against the radicals and their Reconstruc-
ton system, root and branch. Henceforth
there can be no party endorsements of the
policy of Congress, coupled with profess
sions of adhesion to the policy of the ad-
ministration.
The Tribune says: Let US thank Mr..
johnson that his veto is so sweeping. He
might have pbrased it more cunningly,
but he has chosen to let US know that it is
not this particular bill that has provoked
his opposition, but that any measure
whereby Congress shall attempt to pro-
tect the Southern blacks against white
abuse and oppression must encounter his
determined and deadly opposition.
Referring to the veto message, the
Times says: But we venture to think that
few state papers have ever been given to
the world that will SO thoroughly compel
the attention of thinking men of whatever
creed, kind or party. The analysis of the
details, however, is of so keen and search

ing a character, and the logic SO i~rresist-
able, that we should hope even the strong
est advocates of the measure will see how
vastly important it is that the constitu-
tional power of the veto should exist, and
how important also, in a higher sense, it
is that such a constitutional power should
be entrusted to a President endowed with
judgment, discretion, and most uncommon
courage.
The World says: The veto is a conclu-
sive demonstration of what was apparent
before: that the conflict between the Presi-
dent and Congress admits of neither com-
promise nor reconciliation, and that the
controversy can be decided only by an APP
peal to their common superiors, the SOW
