Hon. Tom Oorwin, of Ohio, that he dropped
into q meeting one evening In Lebanon 10 see
what "the brethren" were doing. u was
meeting OF the Bible Society, and the business
was done In a very lifeless, hum drum way
The Secretary disclosed In his report the fact
that two hundred families In the county were
destitute OF the Bible, aud some brother deplor
ed In suitable phrase the shameful fact when
Mr.. Corwin rose and said: "Mr. President, may
I be allowed to say sometkinglon this subJectr'
"Oeriainly, Mr.. Corwin-we shall be glad to
hear you.' "wsll, sir, want to say that you
are NOT in earnest. Your report said, that
there are two hun ared families 10 this county
without the Bible This could not be If you
were In earnest. In the great contest for the
election OF Harrison, we Wing members OF
Congress gave our whole salary to carry that
election. We were In earnest. We thought the
salvation OF the country depended upon 1t. II
you want to carry on this work, sad really
m can that every man shall have the Bible, you
must be inIsarnest You must 60 to work and
give every mau the Bible" The meeting wal
electrified. Some one Immediately rose, and
moved 10 make Thomas Corwin President o
the Warren County Bible Society. II was u
nanimously carried and Mr.. Cor win rose again:
"Sir, if accept the presidency OF this Society
IL 10 GU one condition, that you 60 to work, and
| no such report as that is made again. When
this Society meets three months from To-day
the report must be, that no family In Warren
County Is without the Bible" The work was
done, and every family supplied. Mr.. Corwir
judged the Bible Society, and judged the who'll
Church precisely as all Intelligent men d.
Judge 1t In their hearts. Motives they canno
measure; but they can see what is done, an(
they imply the motives aud the faith from th'

It stood elevated above the base DONNA

were some twenty or thirty bells, so con-
nectcd with machinery that at every quar-.
ter hour the most exquisite sna ches OF
music were produced, that at every half
hour these were augmented, and that at
every tull hour there was a whole choral
rolling in the air. And it seemed as if

FORNEY on THE VETO.

From the Washington Chronicle OF Weonesoay'1
Two vetoes, in little more than month
of two measures intended to check and
defeat the renewed intrigues of the de-
feated traitors, each having passed both
branches of the American Congress by
the extraordinary vote of more than two
thirds of the Senators and Representatives,
constitute at once an exception and an adj
monition. The exception is that measurers
of such magnitude should have been con-
summated by the Legislative department
by votes so nearly approaching unaninity,
and the admonition that all essential as
they were to the preservation of the pub
lie peace and the protection of individual
rights, they should have been stricken
down by the hand Of one appointed by
the people as chosen guardian of their
mperilled, and finally of their rescued
liberties 1t is an ignomious sequel to the
rebellion, and most ominous beginning
to his accidental administration, that those
who fell with the fall of the rebellion, and
those who sympathized with them
throughout should be the only classes
that hail, with loud felicities, these two
Executive DEGREES The Congress de-
liberated and acted in the interest of the
freedmen; the President delberstes and
acts in the interests of their oppressors.-
Congress completes two important stat
utes for the protection of those liberated
from slavery and of all their resulting
franchises. The President seeks to de-
stroy that which has been so carefully pre-
pared, and does so, almost ayowedly, that
traitors may be restored to more than the
power they were supposed to have lost by
the downfall of their conspiracy. As it
overwhelmed with the consciousness of
guilty deed, the very last sentence of the
message which returns the great civilrights
bill to the body in which it itoriginated, apol-
ogizes or explains that if the forty-two bills
and Joint resolutions submitted tohim for
his approval, he was compelledto with hold
his ascent from but two. But these, as
we have said, constitute the chief pillars
upon which the rights and interests of
millions heretofore in slavery were to re-
pose. Called for by consideration SO
paramount, we are lost in wonder that
President johnson should have allowed
himself to forget his own duties and prom
ises, and at period so early in his ad
ministration, to become second time re-
sponsive to the demands and exactions of
the recent enemies of the Republic.
