All loyal men Will rejoice to know that

Congress over the Executive since the days
Of John Tyler Congress in the last year
OF Tylers administration passed bin for
bidding the President 10 take money from

Congress then passed the bill by a two

the present bill, where a veto has not effect

victory OF the people over centralized pow

tanned the President in his veto of the bin

Its becoming a law. Aside from the lutrin-

for the people to know whether Andrew

does not approve, or whether forgetting
his official oath he Will add perjury TO

The State Treasury.

The cash balance in the State Treasury
on the first OF April was S6O9, 943 80. This
did not include 500, 600 sent March 3Oth
To the Quartermaster General to pay sol
diers bOuuties Of $3.50 each, under the last
law authorized by the State Legislature.
This IS very gratifying financial exhibit,
and Is the result OF of a system commenced
some years since of levying sufficient taxes
10 meet the expenses Of the State Govern
ment. The balance will be quite as large
on the first vi May, if 10 more acquisitions
are made for money by the Quartermaster
General during the present month. Nearly
soy, 600 were received on the eth in one
check from the Treasurer of Wayne county,
10 pay the balance OF State Tax OF 1865 al
ter deductIng the amount of DELINQUENT
tax returns. The receipts at the present
time are very large from Primary School
aud other Trust Fund interests. and will
continue to increase during the month.
Many part paid lands are being fully paid
up. The Treasury balance will be some
what less during the summer months on
account OF the payment Of July interest on
the state debt, and the School interest on
Primary Principal which is paid in NAY.
But We think the balance will not fall much
below 100000 at any time during the
present financial year.

THE NEW JERSEY SENAT0RsHGP. The
New Jersey Legislature have so far failed
to elect a Senator, the Senate refusing to
go into Joint Convention, owing to the de-
lection Of James VI. ScOyel, one Of the Sen

upon Mr.. Scovel that he had received a
letter from the President, Offering to give
him any appointment he might desire in
his gift. if be would favor the election Of q
Senator who would support his policy. Mr..
Scovel in a note denies the truth Of the
charge, and the Inquirer rejoins by giving
the names of two respectable gentlemen as
authority, who state that Sc0vel showed
them the letter. Fears are entertained
that no Senator viii be elected
