NEW YORK PAPERS ON THE Presidents
VETo.-The following are extracts from
the leading m orning papers in New York
on the Goth ult.:
The World says: president johnson
has sustained his character for steadiness
of purpose and political courage by the
veto sent to the Senate yesterday, Of the
bill for enlarging the powers of the Freed
mems Bureau. The consideration of most
immediate interest is The likelihood of the
veto being effective. Can bill be passed
by two-thirds vote of two Houses over
the veto, and become law in spite of the
President? We think it cannot; but the
question is not SO entirely free from doubt
rs to set the public anxiety al rest until
the trial has been made"
The Tribune says: 1--WE deeply regret this
and we think he will even live to regret
this even more deeply; for this veto will
be understood by all that is brutal and
ruffianly at the South, as giving license
to any abuse any oppression of the blacks
that white malignity,>yancor or hate can
devise"
The Times says: "The veto implies nc
essential difference of opinion between the
Executive and the majority of Congress on
the primary object of the bill. In no es-
sential point is the President at variance
either with the majority Of Congress OF
with the country so far as the claims Of
the freedmen are concerned. He seeks tc
reach the end aimed at in the veto bill BY
other, and what he deems less Radical
agencies. 1t will therefore be for Congress
and the country to weigh carefully the OBJ
jections offered, and at least respect if they
cannot assent to the reasons on which the
Executive veto is based.''
The Herald says: "The Freedmen't
Bureau Bill, has, at the hands Of Presiden,
johnson, met with the fate which it de.
served. His general Arguments and his
specifications against the bill are consist.
ent, convincing and conelusive.n

ANOTHER STEAMBOAT DlsAsTER.--The
steamer R. J. Lockwood, Capt. Ben How
ard, bound from New Orleans to st. Louis,
exploded her boilers at the foot of Presi-
DENTS Island, several miles below Mem
phis, on the night of the 4th inst, and in q
short time was burned to the water, with
O loss Of abont Is souls. There were some
40 passengers on board and but little
freight.
The Lockwood had recently abandoned
the Ouachita River trade; had been re-
paired and inspected at New Orleans and
was on her way to enter the Missouri
River trade on reaching st. Louis.
The M. S. Mephans was, fortunately,
near by at the time of the disaster, and
running under the stern of the burn
ing steamer, took off the survivors, who
were subsequently transferred to the Vic
tory, bound up and brought to this city.
The following are known to be killed Il:
Oliver Graham, second engineer, of New
York; George Cosner, barkeeper, of st.
Louis; J ames King, of Staten Island, N. Y.
The following is list of the dangerously
lHJCTeu a. mCDOuBdi, uIst euBlHeoI, vi
New Orleans; M. Mclaughlin, striker;
John Robinson, first clerk, Jefferson City.
The slightly wounded: Edward Deddit,
of Cairo; G. B. Enochs, of Philadelphia;
John Miller, deck hand; R. Evens and W.
H. Myers, of Commerce; Charles Smith, OF
Cincinnati; Capt. D. II. Curry, of Freder-
lex, ILL.,; John Smith, deck hand, of Louis
Vile; Joseph Mccoy, pilot. s.
Among the lost are the cook, some of
the cabin crew and negro frem en-, names
not known. -
All the lady passengers and children
were saved !; also, two cham bermaids.
Captain Howard acted nobly at the risk Of
his own life, saving others. ~
The explosion occurred about 9 o'clock,
and the flames were seen for miles. At
Helena it was observed that the boilers
were leaking, notwithstanding they were
repaired at New Orleans. Captain How
ard wanted to stop there for repairs, but
the engineers thought best to proceed to
Memphis, so the boat was pushed on under
light head Of steam, and at the time OF
the accident was running very slowly.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

IL is a greater misfortune Tor man 10

the greatest of all enjoymeuts, thesight
Of woman. But reverse is true as 10

NEIGHBoRLY LOVE- Genuine neigh
borly love knows no destruction Of
persons. tits like the sun, which
does not ask on vhatit shall shine,
or what it will warm but shines and

THE END.-Some lives are very res
pectable In the beginning and middle,
but like an ill-worn shoe, run down at
the heel. taa.7 r.. 2 q, 4s-'
fa LIVES OF NAuoNs.-Nations have
their lives as well as individuals, only
they lack the clear and unmistakable
symptoms by which nature marks the
progress from youth to manhood, and
from manhood to age; they are as
finite as the persons who compose
them, only without the same data for
determining the progress Of their ex.
istence. Aa n#5stt n.a# ..#
Men often attempt, by the light of
reason, to discover the mysteries of
eternity. They might as we'll hold
up candle to see the stars.
Men have different spheres 1t is
for some to evolve great moral truths,
as the heavens evolve stars, to guide
the sailors on the sea and the traveller
on the desert and it is for some, like
the sailor and the traveller, simply to
be guides.
TINE Time wears slippers Of list,
and his tread is noiseless. The days
come softly dawning one after another
creeping in at the windows, their fresh
morning air SO grateful to the lips as
they pant for it, their music SO sweet
to the ears that listen to it, until, be-
fore we know it, whole life Of day
has possession Of the citadel, and Time
has taken us for his own.
Coon PREcEPTs.-Society may aid
in making the laborers virtuous and
happy, by bringing up children to la
Dor with steadiness, with care, and
with skill; to show them how to do
as many useful things as possible; TO
do them all in the best manner; to
set them an example of industry, So
briefly, cleanliness, and neatness to
make all these habitual to them, so
that they shall never be liable to fall
into the contrary and to let them
always see good liveing proceeding
from labor.
Difference is the most compicate
the most indirect, and the most ele-
CANT of all compliments.
Good men generally reap more sub.
stantial benefits from their Affections
than bad men do from their prosper
ity ; and what they lose in wealth,
pleasure and honor, they gain with
most advantage in wisdom and good
ness, and tranquility of mind.-Dr.

The RECOLLECTION OF KINDNESS.
If there are words and wrongs Ike
knives, whose deep-infected lacera-
lions never heal---cuttiug injuries and
insults of serrated and poison-dripping
edge-so, too, there are consultations
Of tone too fine for the ear not fondly
and forever to retain their echo: car
essing kindnesses-loved, fingered over
though a whole life, recalled with IN
faded tenderness, AID answering the
call with undimmed brightness, out
Of that raven cloud which foreshadows
death itself Charlotte Bromte.

The necessity that exists for two new
public school buildlngs-One at the north
ern and the other at the southern end Of
the city-shows the rapidly increasing
growth and population of Columbus. We
are assured that as soon as these buildings
are finished, they will be fully occupied,
and still there will not be room enough for
the accommodation of all the children in
the public school buildings. Others will
be required in a short time.

The HnnIons, Great Feat.

The following comes to us in such a
way that we cannot doubt its authenticity /:
A gentleman who had witnessed at CIncln-
natl the performance Of the Hanlon Broth
ers now in this city, recently took an un-
sophisticated young lady Of artless sim
plicity to the Atheneum to enjoy an even
ing's entertainment. In an interval dur
ing the performances, he took occasion
to try aud interest his lady companion
by giving her description Of the wonder
full feats performed by the Hanlons. After
some conversation, having described the
feat of the "Three Flying Men," the gen.
tleman, casting his eyes around the theater
and up to the ceiling, remarked: II dono
think this building large enough for th'
Hanlons to exhibit their feat" ''What,'
said the lady, with unaffected surprise
''are their feet SO big that they cannot show
them in this buildingr
The weather was hot and the gentleman
hid his face in his handkerchief, pretend
ing to wipe of the appropriation. 81 t i9

Runaway and Collisions.

A Government wagon, to which a couple
of horses were attached, started suddenly
from the depot yesterday afternoon, the
horses being unhitched, and the driver be-
ing in the baggage room. The runaways,
as If in mere sport, proceeded down High
street at rapid rate. At the crossing Of
Spring street, they came in contact with a
spring wagon, by which the fore wheels Of
Uncle Sans conveyance were sepaT ated
from the balance of the vehicle. The horses,
then, rejoicing with only the fore wheels
behind them, rushed onward till near the
crossing of Long street, they brought up
in the rear of a coal wagon, one horse GO
ing on one side and the other on the other
side, with the coal cart between them
Thus, their rapid career was effectually
checked, with no serious injury, we believe
to either.
