Is the President Becoming Lazy?

We fear that the President John,
son is becoming lazy as well as dis
gusted. The telegraph informs us
that two bills-the Territorial Equal
Suffrage Bill, and the bill repeating
the amnesty and pardon authority
gwen to the President-have become
laws by his neglect to either cto or
sign them within ten days. Having
signed one bid-that providing for a
meeting Of Congress on the 4th of
March next-there were left but
three bills in his hands for which he
would have to write veto messages
within fifteen days. This would give
him five days on each veto-time
enough to put together such a mes
sage as he usually writes Moreover,
he used not have done the work him
self. Stanberry could have written
one veto, and jerry Black been per-
suaded to undertake another, leaving
only one for Andy himself to write
out. A little energy could have ac-
complished the thing Seeing that
the President did not approve these
two bills, and does not approve the
Colorado Bill yet to be heard from,
it is really strange that he should
allow them to become laws bv his
default. 1t may be, however, that
he is putting forth his whole strength
in the preparation of veto Of the
Colorado Bill, and keeping Stan berry
busy helping him. If so, we may
expect tremendously windy and
wonderfully dto-comprehend veto
message next Monday or Tuesday.
The thanks Of the country are due
to Congress for sending in four bills
in batch, so that we have escaped
the infliction of two veto messages
at least. Let this good precedent be-
come the rule and, unless the Presi-
dent procures the preparation of a
dozen or two veto messages in adj
vance with blanks left for inserting
the title of the bills-which he might
do without detracting from either
his style or strength-the country
will escape a great deal Of full read
