A Model Veto,

The resolution OF the Common Council to

by the Mayor yesterday on three separate
grounds, two OF which may be plausible
enough, namely, that It was very expensive,
probably because the contractors sre making

on the street should apply for il; but the third
ground Of objection--thst the pavement was

opinion that IL Senator Chandler faithfully

have very Indifferent notions Of the duties Of .
United States Senator. We are oil pretty well

during our late war; We know perfectly we'll
what we mean by the Alabama claims We
know, too, what we mean when we say that
these claims must be settled But we have yet
TO learn that because Great Britain misbehaved
during our late war that ia q sufficient reason
why the United States Senate should be made
ridiculous before tho world. II Senator Chand-
Ter chooses TO make himself fool, we hope his
brother Senators will reveal their selfrespect
by compelling him 10 seek another scene for
tho display Of his foolery. Our opportunity
for dealing with Great Britain will doubtless

of view, little absurd. Il Is, however, exceed
ingly difficult 10 SEQ how in the Circumstance
Great Britain could have acted otherwise than
she has done. la the same circumstances the
United States would doubtless have similarly
acted; 80, at least it is reasonable to presume,
Senator Chandler, il . grain OF sense remained
to him, would advise us 10 act. The Abys-
sinian expedition Is altogether too trifiing an
affair, and too insignificant! in it's probable
effects on Great Britain, to deserve even tho
passing notice OF United States Senators. The
question as between Abyssinia and Great
Britain is question between civilization and
barbarism, and in other quarters might be our
question tomorrow IA much az 1t is that Of
Great Britain to-day. The rights OF British
subjects now and for Q long time held 10 cruel
bondage, and tho example which it is neoes-
sary to set to barbarians everywhere. have
dragged the British government into paltry
but annoying war. Let us be magnanimous
as well as exaciing, and let US hope that the
expedition may result TO tho advantage Of
civilization in regions where darkness aud
misery have too long regned supreme.

TEST OArH.-The decision of the Supreme
Court in the test oath cases has much moro
direct and extensive bearing on the Question
of the hour than the decision in the Mioan
case. The former decision is also nora
firmly bottomed than the latter. In tbo
Miligan case, the decision acts upon an Act
of Congress, which Congress may repeal and
replace with a different Act. In other words
Congress may cut under the decision in tho
Miiligan case, though, it is true, the dicrum
Of the majority of the Court warrants the
hope that the cut, if made, would be in vain
Still the decision, as it stands, is exposed to
this stroke. In the test oath cases, however
the decision rests upon the Constitution
which Congress cannot repeal. This decs'
ion Congress comet cut under. This dece.
ion, we repeat, is more firmly bottomed than
the other. 1t is also, as we have said, mora
important in its bearing. The decision in
declaring that the laws which impose tba
test-oaths in question are ca post tacto law,
as well as bills Of pains and penalties. strikes
at the very root Of the Radical system Of re-.
construction. The test, oath is the taproot Of
the system. The decision cuts it up. And
down goes the system. The Radical party
as is now manifest, cannot live, unless the
Supreme Court, as we'll as the President ia
removed; and the removal Of both would in.
fallibly kill the party. Such is the Radical
dilemma. 1t is beautiful strait.-Louis.

VALLEJo RAILROAD. While passing
through the American canyon on Sunday
last, says the Napa Reporter, we were not a
little surprised to see the amount Of work
that had been done on he railroad leading
from Vallejo to Marysvile. Smal! hills have
been levele1, the bed Of the stream and ra-
vines have been filled in with earth. and in
many places the Ct annel Of the creek has
been changed by cutting new passage. Il
is indeed encouraging to know that shortly
we are to have the cars flying along road
which now is almost impossible for even a

A RADICAL SENATOR TRAPpED.-The M

A RADICAL SENATOR TRAPpED.-The Ma
tional Intel!igencer describes the following
memorable incident which recently took
place In the Senate. MIR. Henderson, of
Missouri, was denouncing tbs South for bav-
ing rejected the Constitutional Amendment;
when Doolittle quietly interrupted him with
the question, GLOW has the South rejected
i?" "By her Legislatures" The words
were hardly out Of his mouth before he felt
himself enlrapped, and quick as thought the
Wisconsin Senator demanded, "Ilow can
they have Legislatures unless they are Sta,es
and if they are not States, why censure
them for rejecting the Amendment" And
in few earnest, impassioned sentences, the
Wisconsin Senator showed the illogical and
unjust position of the Radicals on this point
Mr.. Henderson simply sought to break the
force of his opponents argument by begging
him not to get excited, and despite his won't
ed amiabiliy, ended by losing bis own
temper.
