and the East Is now completes, and the
earnings of the Union Pacific on the Sec

much more than pay the interest on the

REPORTED VIEws OF SECRETARY STANTo.
ON THE SITuATIoY-The Washington cor
respondent of the Boston Post sent the fol
lowing to that Journal:
'sHon. John Oovode called upon Secre
tary Stanton yertefday, and there ensued |
long, and friendly discourse on the status o
the country. Mr.. Stanton appeared very
DESTROYS Of discussing the current events o
national import, and expressed himsel
freely. He confessed that from the very
outset the disputations of the executive ani
legislative branches ofthe Government had
caused him the liveliest alarm, which, since
the movement toward impeachment, had
increased to an apprehension of revolution
and anarchy. The burden of his remarks
was in regard to certain acts Of the Presi
dent and Congress, and he pointed gloomily
to the deleterious effect Of each Upon ths
nation. IN parting with Coyode, Mr.. Stan
ton remarked; Il aided to place two mil
lion Of men IN the field to put down the
rebellion; three hundred thousand have
bitten the dust, and an equal number arr
cripplss throughout the land and yet, witt
all this tremendous effort and correspond
ing sacrifice, the country, in my judgment
is Swallowed with the gloom Of darker hour
than was incident to any crisis of the lat,
war;" This latter expression Of Mr.. Stan
tons solicitude is given me with scrupulous
exactithde by gentleman infinitely &C
quainted with every circumstance in tilt
premises, and who further AYERS that the
Secretary seemed completely unnamed as
ne uttered the last remark, and abruptly
turned from his visitors to conceal BIZ

An Eve in a Mans Stomach.

A country gentleman with only one nat.
ural eye, the other being u glass one, hap
pened to arrive in this city some time last
week and registered himself at small
lodging house not far from the Pacific rail
road depot. Being very tired from travel
he went to bed early, carefully taking out
his glass eye and putting it in tumbler Of
water on the washstand to keep it bright
for the next morning Later in the eve
ming, while our friend was comfortably
snoring, another traveller arrived, and
the house being very full-was shown into
the same room which our country friend
occupied. This new conner had drank a
great deal of wine during the night, and
soon after having blown out the candle and
retired to bed he felt an unquenchable
thirst. So he got up as well as he could,
and cropping his way to the washstand,
filled up the tumbler to the brim and swal-
lowed it at q gulp-glass eye and all
Early III the morning our 0ne-eyed friend
arose, and to his great astonishment, found
his glass eye missing. He was sure he had
put it into the tumbler. But it evidently
was not there 1t never occurred to him
that it might he in his fellow lodger's
stomach. SO he dressed himself, took his
breakfast, paid his bill and went Up town
to Jacob Blattncr's store, there to purchase
a new eye.
Meanwhile the other lodger tossed unea-
silly to and fro in his bed, groaned heavily,
and felt decidedly uncomfortable. About
9 o'clock ho aWoke with a decided belly
ache. He rang for the servants and or
dered a doctor. The doctor came and sag
gested: Drank too muchp'
Ledger looked guilty and agonized.-
Meanwhile the symptoms grew worse, aud
the doctor ordered o pint of purgative
Settler water, and went after some other
patients. Our unhappy friend, however,
found the pains in his stomach increase to
such terrible extent that he grew half
crazy. Half the hotel rushed up into his
room, and after general consultation a
neighboring barber was called in to adj.
minister a clyster. The barber, after a
careful examination of the patient, con.
Ecluded that he had swallowed some hard
substance. An emctic was administered
and 10! and behold. the glass eye was
thrown up, to the great establishment Of
the traveller Missouri Democrat.

PARIS PoLIcE.-A Paris letter speaks
of the superiority of French to English
police regulation as follows:
You will see recitals of the horrid occur

and companies, and whole crowds Of
passers-by surrounded, penned up on a
bridge and robbed by wholesaIe-are
among the incidents of the cold snap.
But we have no such occurrences here. II
the police tell the people not to go on the
ice they do not vention which checks in
the bud the developement of the class Of
rowdies and pickpockets which are the
curse of English and American cities
This sort of people are not known here,

with hand of iron, and because the law

Veto Of the Convention Bill.

STATE OF LOUISIANA, EXECUTIVE DEPT. |
New Orleans, February IL, 1867. (
To the House of Representatives
return herewith, without my signature
"an act to take the sense of the people on
the expectancy of calling convention to
form a constitution and to provide for the
election of delegates, and for the holding
of the convention" >5ey. eu ts.Es-
1.-THE general object Of the bill received
my sanction, I could not, consistently with
regard to sense Of my constitutional duty
andrespect fol. the perogatives Of the officer
| hold, give it my approval. First, because
| believe the bill in its. title and substance
is in violation of article No. 118 Of the
Constitution Of the State, which provides
that every law enacted by the Legislature
shall embrace but one object, and that shall
be expressed in the title" / regard the
sense Of the people on calling convention
and voting for delegates, as distinct and
separate objects. Secondly, the bill ignores
the governor in the issuing the usual writs
of election, and to that extent is an inva-
sion of his constitutional rights, which
make it his duty to see that the laws are
faithfully executed. l must further con-
strue this feature of the bill as intentional
under the belief that | would refuse to
obey the law, an imputation am rot will.
ing, by any act of mihe, to countenance or
admit. These objections are regarded by
me as justifying the Withholding of my ap.
proval of the bill, and |, therefore, refrain
from entering into discussion of the
question as to the expediency Of the meas
urc. l concede in the fullest sense the
right of the people to alter the laws or
amend the Constitution, provided they are
loyal and true to the government of the
United States.
am justified in believing, from events
transporting in Congress that convention
of the people, as provided for in the bill
under consideration, would not be permit
ted or recognized. Whether in view of
this almost certain and fixed fact it is ex-
pedient OF polite to persist id the enact
ment of law that cannot be executed, is
a question | leave to the consideration of
the legislature. will only further say, if
the bill is submitted to me, on its merits,
as regards expedienSy, free from all objec-
tons in its phraseology, will be prepared
to meet the issue.
