The editors of Western New York
held their annual meeting at LIE Roy
on Thursday. The LIE Roy Ga=cue
says:
The duty of the President of the Uni
ted States is to 'see that the laws are
faithfully executed" The duty of the
President of the Editors Association,
after their business session is ended
is TO see that they have a good time.''
In the discharge of this duty we applied
TO Dean Richmond to know if he could
furnish special train from LIE Roy to
the Falls, direct, and the cost thereof.
To this Mr.. Richmond, in his character
istic liberal manner, replied through
Jerry Haskell, the receiver ut Batavia,
that but for the law of the last session,
against free passes, it would affoId d him
pleasure to give the press ofthe State a
tree train; but under the circumstances,
as he could not do exactly that, we
could have the train on paying the re-
ceiver one dollar. We have accepted
the offer.

The Very Latest Concerning National
Banks.
From the N. Y. 1Ti6u,pe's Money article Of

National Bank currency is very plen-
ty, and in variety of issue exceeds be-
lief. Until something is done to reduce
the volume of this currency there can
be no return to specific payments. The
readiest modes of reducing currency
would be found in offering special
loan in exchange for legal tenders and
compound notes. With 5000, 600 of
legal tenders and compound notes
funded there would be forced upon the
National system more conservative
policy. Among its first fruits would
be relief from the notes which now em-
barrass the banks in the Atlantic cities,
A part OF this embarrassment is caused
by the refusal OF the New York city
banks to make their settlements in Ma
tiOnal notes not redeemuble at specified
points. The banks have perfect light
to do this, but they make a dis
tinction not appreciated by the
mass of the people, and one
The merit of the national currency with
the people lies i'll having 500 in United
States stocks pledged for every $50 of
currency, and nobody thinks of look
ing to see what Smith or Jones or
Brown writes his name as President or
Cashier. The names of these gentle
men are of certain value and locally
are of great importance to the gentle
men writing them, but the public honor
the bank notes because they are guar
Anteed by the Government and are paid
by it when the banks issuing it get into
trouble. This currency is good enough
to pay balances at the Clearing House,
and the sooner it is used the better.
When the National Banking Law comes
up for amendment, as it will soon,
Congress will do we'll
FIrSt-To make after November 1867,
every national bank note redeemable
~ coin at its place of issue, and not re-
deemable anywhere else.
SecOnd-It should oblige the National
banks to keep the next three payments
in gold upon their bonds now held for
circulation as II reserve, upon which to
resume in November 1867.
1hird-It should make National bank
notes legal tender from banks to each
other, and between banks and their
dealers.
FO4rth-It should, without delay, get
into funded debt all the legal tenders,
and leave to the National bank notes
the field for circulation, If the banks
are made to understand that in NOvem.
Der, 1867, they are to redeem their cir
culatiOn at their counters in gold, there
need be no fear of an excess ut that
time of legal tenders or National. Be
ing redeenlnble in gold, every dollar of
the present $3.50, ,OOO,OOO would be kept
in use by the natural wants of trade.
and perhaps an increase be made ne

captured them said that they had orders
not to take Morgan alive.
After it was rumored that the SOL
diers of Gen. Morgan's command re-
fused to take as prisoners of war men
belonging to the 18th Tennessee cav
airy, Gen. Gillem sent a communica-
ton, under a flag of truce, to Gen.
Breckenridge on this subject, complain
ing that some members of the 18th
had been killed, and stated that he
supposed that it had been done in re-
taliation for the reported" murder of
Gen. Morgan. He stated that Gen.
Morgan had been killed in fair fight,
and enclosed copy of note from
Capt. Rogers, of Gen. Morgan's staff,
In answer to one from him inquiring
into the circumstances of Gen. Nor
gan's death. Rogers was then a pris-
oner in Gen. Gillem's hands.

American farmers may learn from
Russian serfs how to store their corn
in safety. In Russia, a pit is dug in
the ground, in a well drained place. and
the sides hardened by long exposure
to fire. Before the grain is introduced,
straw is ignited in the pit to purify and
dry the air. The grain is thrown in
and packed close. It is said to have

The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial explains
as follows, how Mr.. Chas. A. Dana's
letter. applying for the Collectorship,
came to be published:
The editor of the Washington Re-
publican, in conversation with the
President, remarked that it was strange
to him that Dana should be so strong
in his opposition and SO venomous in
his denunciation of Mr.. johnson. "You
must be mistaken about that" said
the President; "I never read that paper,
but Mr.. Dana is a friend of mine and
endorses all I have done about recon-
struction." To convince him to the
contrary, an ill-tempered and vitupera-
tive article from the Chicago Republi-
can was shown to his Excellency.
"That's strange" said the President,
tapping one of the little bells that ac-
cording to Mr.. Seward, have such won-
dcrful power over the fate of the indi-
viduals. A messenger entered the Ex-
ecutive sanctum, and said Mr.. john
son: 'sTen - to send me letter
from Mr.. Dana, applying for the New
York Collectorship." The missive was
produced and read. The President
smiled. 'Isnt that funny2" said he;
and the next day the country was in
formed, by telegraph, why the immssu-
late Dana didn't like the President

The Veto Power.

In all ages and among all the nations
OF the earth. where the people have
been blessed with governments of we'll
adjusted checks and balances, the veto
power has been the great safeguard
and impregnable fortress of popular
rights. To oppressed and outraged
minorities it has always proved sane
tuary, and the fathers of the republic
did not originate but simply borrowed
this feature of the government from one
of the greatest nations of antiquity.
The following account of the origin of
the veto power is extracted from
speech delivered in Congress in 1918:
"The veto power had its origin in
old Rome, 1907 Ammo Mundi, and be-
fore Christ 497, and from the building
of the city of Rome 255, which would
make since its origin 2, ,345 years. These
dates will show that the people of Rome
had been submitting to gradual en-
cIoachments two hundred and ffty-fve
years. until further submission was
insupportable. At this period the le-
vies and laws of the Roman Senate were
so enormous and oppressive that the
people were compelled to employ
pooopc fo ,.oc.o+ 4ba;., f,,,,4L -. $1,000. Il.
ment. The people en- masse retired to
mountain about three miles distant
from Rome, called Monsaeer, and were
there addressed by Junius Lucius and
Sicinius Bellerus with masculine elo-
quence always the child of nature,
which induced the people to compel
the Roman Senate to yield the power
to them to establish five tribunes from
among themselves, which, in process of
time, were increased to ten, who should
be clothed with the veto power These
tribunes were place at the Senate door,
and all laws passed by the Roman SEN
ate were presented to them for their
or rejection.
If they approved law it was signed
with the letter 7; but if not approved
they used the word veto, which signi-
ies Il forbid" This is the origin of
The veto power; and SO long as it was
exercised by the tribunes or officers
Immediately responsible to the people
or their election or appointment, the
end that the people designed was ac-
that is, resistance to en-
on their rights. And SO
ong as this power was preserved in
is original purity and simplicity, it
vas exercised to the advancement of
he peoples rights and interests" L

BY Adria's wave, where | had hoped to die
Since must die ere fades my youths glad
| morn.
New England's sons look cold as their own lakes
And mountains on the sick Italian child;
There is no voice in this strange cline that wakes
Memories of days when health and hope beguiIed.
Wide seas divide me from the land of Ssag.
My Italy, so worshipped for the light
OF love and beauty--love OUTLYING wrong
And beauty knowing neither change nor
blight.
Wide seas between US! and dying frame
That warns me well how brief my longest day;
Soon none will question why the stranger came,
And what he loved and how he passed away.
Even Italy will never know the why
Her summer-child in this dark winter-land
Too early faded; if she weep or sigh
lis for herself cursed by tyrant's hand.
They knew, who brought me from those distant
bowers,
Where, i'll or well, I still was fancy-free,
That there was not in this wide world of ours
One thing craved outside of ItAlyl
They knew too well that all the songs loved
Were sweetest sung by Adria's gcndolier;
That all bright things with which my spirit
roved
We're only bright in Italy-not herel
Dungeons and chains-these had no terrors
there;
l was child, and children all are free;
l pas a ch,ld--and happy in the air
And in the sunshine Of my ItalyI
And therein Haly--my mother sleeps
Where would sleep, and where bright flowers
bloom
In sunny wales. Each hour the orphan weeps
Cold tears that cannot reach that mother's
tomb.
Oh! take me back to ItaIy-to die!
But since I'm dying and that cannot be,
Oh! take me to the Sunny South-for |
Have heard that it is like my Italyl
The same sweet flowers and singing birds are
there,
The same wide realm of beauty, love and art,
The same low skies are bending everywhere,
The same glad world of sunshine in the heart!
'Tis true, the stars kneel to every even
May be the same my childhood yet bewails:
But here they smile as if they caught from
heaven
Less warmth than cold from cold New Eng.
lands wales.
No blooming rose can visit my pale cheek
Among this frigid peepsei and long
At times for Italy, until my weak
And oer-taxed heart scarce finds reliefin
song.
Oh! for the sea-bird's tireless wing and heart
To watt me to the heaven of Adria's sea!
