The Veto Of the Freedmen's Bureau
Bill.

The Democrats are jubilant over this
act of the Presidents, because they con
strue it into desire upon his part, to
withhold proper protection from the
freedmen. Anything that may be fortur
ed into enmity toward the colored popu
lation. gives the Democracy as much
pleasure as the rebel victories used to
10 But if any Of those who so bitterly
denounced Mr.. johnson from the com
mencement of the war until a few months
ago. think he is the enemy of the color
ed race they are mistaken.
The Freedmen's Bureau Bill had
faults, which, in the Presidents judg-
meat, needed to be corrected 1t con-
ferred upon him almost unlimited pow
az and placed in his hands vast patron
aze, which he thought dangerous when
entrusted to one man. The corrupting
influence Of power and patronage have
been so sensibly and painfully apparent,
nndcr Democratic rule, that the Presi
dent deserves praise rather than censure.
for endeavoring to avoid the repetition
Of the history Of Democratic administra-
tons; and yet he is charged with seek
ing to procure a reelection by pander-
ing TO political element with which
MON men can have no sympathy. The
President thinks the Freedmen's Bureau
as now constituted, amply sufficient for
the protection Of the unprotected in the
South and believes. also, that the mon
ey that would have been needed to de-
FRAY the additional expenses of the
bureau a. contemplated in the Bill,
could be more sdvantageously sppro-
priatsd to the payment of pensions to
disabled soldiers and the families of such
as have lost their lives in the service.

Heavy Hogs.

A drove Of forty-slx head of hogs
passed through our streets, last Thurs
day, in charge of James Murphy, of
Fairview township. It was admitted by
those who saw them that they had never
seen neater, fatter and prettier lot of
hogs anywhere. The average weight of
the forty six head was 1891 lbs Mr..
Murphy has been feeding them fer six
or seven months, and corn had lost its
virtue with them; it was hardly posi-
bic 10 further increase their size and
weight. Mr.. Murphy sold these hogs at
$40 per hundred gross, thus realizing
the handsome amount of S2,023 so in
greenbaeks for forty-siN head of hogs.

Popular FalIacies.

The following is from Halls Journal
of Health:
That warm air must be impure, and
that consequently, it is hurtful TO sleep
in a comparatively warm room A
warm room is as easily ventilated as
cool one The warm air of a close We
hicle is less injurious, be it ever so foul,
from crowding, than to ride and sit still
and feel uncomfortably cold for an hour
The worst that can happen from crowd
ed conveyance is a fainting spell while
from sitting for even less than an hour
IN still, chilly atmosphere, has induced
attacks of pneumonia, that is, infam-
nation Of the lungs. which often prove

degree of cold causes the negatively

it is breathed and rehreathed by the
sleeper, and is capable of producing
typhoid fevers in "a few hours. Hence
there is no advantage, and always dang
er, especially to weakly persons, in sleep
ing in an asmophere colder than the
freezing point.
That it Is necessary to the proper and
efficient ventilation of a room, even in
warm weather, that window or door
should be left open; this is always haz-
ardous to the sick aud conyalescent.-
Quite as safe plan of ventilation, and
as efficient, is to keep lamp or small

cough to help bring up the phlegm and

the lungs cannot heal while that mat

Official Independence.

The Springfield, Illinois, State Journal
makes great parade over its official in
dependence IN opposing the policy of the
President, while one of its proprietors
holds Federal Office as United States
Marshal. We know nothing of the cir
cumstances of this particular case. The
journal editor is an honorable man.
Chese are all honorable men,") and he
may be intact as he claims, profoundly
indifferent to a little matter of sc, 900
per annun, but plain statement of the
facts will take the wind out of a great
deal of this affected independence which
is just now the pervading spring style
among a certain class of Federal office
holders.
The majority of these highfyers have
not been rsappoiRted-at least their names
have not been sent to the Senate for CON
firmation. They were appointed by Mr..
Lincoln and are simply holding over I'M
til their successors are appointed and
qualified. Mr.. johnson has declared
himself in favor of retention in office,
and these worthless holding position by
the traileSt possible tenure, can afford to
be independent because they have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose. They
delude themselves with the assurance
that they are on the winning side. Thad
Stevens, Sumner Il Co, have established
an insurance company, and those office
holders have taken out individual poll
cies on the mutual plan" as follows ::
We, i. S, S. IL Co, although repre-
senting but a coordinate branch of the
General Government, propose to run the
entire machine and usurp the appointing
power of the Executive by an anti Ad-
ministration majority in the Senate, to
which the appointments must go for con-
frmation.
A case in point: Suppose Mr. John
son concludes to supercede the editor of
the Springfield Journal by the appoint
ment of some other good Union man to
the United States Marshalship The de
capitated officer has only to set up as n
martyr and forthwith the Senate comes
to his rescue and refuses to confirm the
appointment. This is the Radical pro-
gramme, and it has even been proposed
to hold the Senate in continuous ses-
sion rs an etfectaal checkmate upon the
President. This is the inducement held
out by the combination against Mr..
Johnson, and clearly explains the strange
anomaly in American politics, when, for
the first time in the history of the coun-
try, majority of the officeholders are
opposed 10 the Administration Lafay-
