ATTORNEY General STANBERRy, it
seems to be definitely determined,
wrote the message of the President
yetoing the Reconstruction Bill. The
reason he assigned for the veto, was
that it conferred upon the military
commanders too much power, with
out the proper responsibility. The
Bill became the law Notwithstanding
the veto. The plant and artful At
torney at the dictation of his client,
the President, then writes IAN opini-
on" in which he takes the position
that under the law the Military Com
manders have little or no power. The
inconsistency of the Attorney has
afforded no little amusement to the
people and considerable modification
to himself. He tries to dodge the con-
tempt everybody feels for him, by
stating that his draft Of a veto message
was subsequently materially altered by
MIR. BLACK, the relic of fossil Copper
headism of the BUCHANAN period. But
the excuse hardly serves. If the veto
was not wholly written by Mr.. STAN
BERRY, as it finally appeared, it was
approved by him as Cabinet officer,
and passed without a word of protest
or objection.
We presume the Attorney has not
yet exhausted himself, and that he will
still further display his ingenuity in
finding fault with the amendments to
the Reconstruction Law just enacted
by the present Congress.
1t is most pitiable to see a great
lawyer, who by diligent study and sue
cessful practice, established a Nation

contemplate special pleading in be-
half of the tortuous and treacherogs
policy of a renegade President. Mr..
STANBERRY has gained no glory as a
politician. On the contrary, he has
lost all that he has achieved s = law
yer. But he is by no means the only
eminent lawyer who has made az ut
ter failure in the attempt to deal with
political questions. Musty prece-

h Press In Italy.

The increase of the number of
newspapers published in Italy,
since it has become a free
State, has been very large. New
journals are constantly %springing up,
and at Florence there are eleven dai-
ly papers which are issued every day
in the week. Other places are
equally we'll supplied, in proportion
to their population, and the advan-
tages of free and,independent discus
sions of domestic and foreign questions
can not fail to be seen in the future
of Italy. Very few of the italian
journals are subsidized by the Gov
eminent, and fewer still have any,
thing to say in defence of Popery.
Most of the intelligent Italians would
be glad to be rid of the power of Rome,
for they hold that the influence of
that power in the past has been very
unfavorable to the interests of Italy.
Rome has sought to derive strength,
rather than impart it., from her con
nection with Italy. With the devel-
opment ofintelligence among the peo-
pie, and the growth of liberal feeling,
fostered by the press and by schools,
which have been modelled after the
New England school system. the people
of Italy will be constantly becoming
better prepared to meet and grapple
with the problems ofthe future. Let US
hope that the future of Italy and her
people will be as bright as her past
has been dark and discouraging, and
that both government and people will
show themselves worthy of the OPP
portunities for progress and advance
ment which have recently been pre-
scented to them.

A RECENT treaty made by our Gov
eminent establishes commercial reci-
procity with the Sandwich Islands,
thus securing to the States of the Pa
cifc coast articles of domestic pro-
duce at very low prices, and secures
most important advantages for our
whaling fleet. Besides this, it is a
marked triumph of American diplo-
macy over the scheming designs of
France and England, to gain a con-
trolling interest in the islands, which
have been so bold and persistent dur
ing the past few years, and the sue
cess of which would have been very
detrimental to American interests.
Whether it will result in the "ab-
sorption" of the islands by the
United States, is a matter which the
future must determine.

cars for assault and battery on a negro, in
putting him u of the cars, under the rule
OF the railway company that negro men
must ride on the platform, was yesterday
decided by Judge Chapman. He fined the
parties one dollar and costs, and decided
that the street Railway Company is a
common carr Ter, and as such cannot legis-
late as against any class of people. The
only tllingto do Is to pay fare and behave
yourself, and you are entitled to a seat in

The rebel General PRICE, who
since the war, has been quietly pur-

chant in St. Louis, recently has been
sued by a man named HoMsBY, of

fixes the damages at $4,000, and an
attachment has been placed upon the
goods and property of the rebel Gen

up summarily.

THE decision of Judge CHAPMAN,
of indianapolis, compelling the Street
Railroad Company of that city to per-
NIT negroes to ride inside of their
cars as other people, will, no doubt,
occasion a Copperhead howl that will
make ones ears Jingle. 1t seems that
the Railroad Company had a regula-
ton that negroes should not ride in
side the cars. A colored man, who
had taken a seat in one of the street
cars, was forcibly elected by the con-
ductor and driver, w~hereupon a pros
ecution was instituted against them
for assault and battery, to test the
legality of the proseriptive rules of
the company.
Judge CHAPMAN held that the
Street Railroad Company was a COM
mon carrier of passengers for hire,
and that it had no right to enforce
the exclusion of any passenger from
its cars, on account of color, SEX, or
nationality. The indianapolis Jour
nal endorses the decision as sound
law. 1t says the statute under which
the Company operates, gives them no
power to deny TO any class the privi-
lege of riding in their cars, on paying
the usual fare. As common carriers
they can have no more right to re-
fuse to carry a colored man, than a
common carrier of freight has to re-
fuse to transport goods belonging to
colored men. .

Kentucky in 1850, produced 2,142.S 22 BUSH

bushels. We take it that the crop Of this

that the crop this year will fully equal that
