Andrew John.en ON Vetoe..

The District of Columbia Suffrage
Bill was originally passed in both
Houses of Congress by more than "a
two-third vote before it was vetoed by
the President. And yet this same An
drew Johnson, when Senator spoke
rs follows in reference to Buchanan's
veto of the Homestead bill:
The President OF the United States
presumGs-yes. sir, | say presumes-tO
dictate to the American people, and to
the two Houses of Congress, in vindi-
cation of the spirit, if not the letter, of
the Constitution, that this measure
shall not become u law. Why do | say
this? ask is there any difference in
the spirit OF the Constitution whether
IA measure is sanctioned by II two-thirds
vote before passage, or afterwards?
When measure has been vetoed by
the President, the Constitution requires
that II shall be considered and pissed
by two-thirds vote in order to become
IA law. But here in the teeth of the Ex-
ecutiVe, there was two-thirds vote in
favorof this bill. The vote was thirty
six to two in this body. The two Houses
have said that this bill is constitutional
and right. In the other House, re-
Meeting the popular sentiment of the
milton, the vote was one hundred and
twelve to tifty-one-ten more than the
two-thirds majority which the COnsti-
tuition requires; and when there is IL
two-thirds vote for Il measure, say it
~ against the spirit OF the Constitution
for the Executive to say mo; you shall
not have this measure; will take nll
the chances of vetoing it,"
Here we have the emphatic declurn-
ton that when there is two. thirds
vote for a measure cit is against the
spirit Of the Constitution for the Execu-
tive to say mo, you shall not have this
measure But Andrew johnson
cares us little for consistency as he does

AN interesting case has just been de-
cided in Chicago. The city caused to
be assessed, for the payment of taxes,
under State laws, the capital stock OF
the First National Bank OF Chicago,
with the intention OF collectinga tax on
the sum total of the stock. The Court
decided that the assessment was vio-
latiou of the acts of Congress authoriz.
ing the existence of the national banks,
and that the capital stock of the bank,
ns such, could not be assessed under
state authority; that tho only way the
stock could be reached was to assess
the shares OF different stockholders, in
the same manner that assessments
were made in other cases against pro-
perty owners by the citizens and In
habitants OF the State.

A Capital Satire.

We believe the following appeared in
the Richmond Examiner some time
during the war, though since resurrected
and credited . another source:
Our private opinion and belief is that
there are authentic documents now in
the library of Yale college-or they will
be there when needed-to prove that
Bunker Hill monument marks the site
of Babylon the Mighty; that Carthag e
was no less than Portland; 0stia, Ma
hant; and Boston, in fact, Athens; that
Homer was professor Of belles-ettres at
Harvard, and Palinurus member of the
Cambridge Yacht Club; that Priscian
taught grammer school at Montpelier,
and Archimeds was private tutor OF
chemistry in Corncord; that st Peter
was a Cape Cod fisherman, and st
Matthew collector of internal revenue
at Stonington that Phidias owned a
brown stone quarry in Maine; and Soc
rates founded the Atlantic Monthyi
that the Academia was the walk under
the elm trees at New Haven, and
the Colossus of Rhodes statue
which strided from Nantucket to
Martha's Vineyard; that Plymouth Rock
is all that is left Of the Tower of Babel,
and the Connecticut river ran through
Paradise; that Stonington is the site OF
Tyre and Merrimac fast colors the dyes
that made that city famous; that the old
Temple of Diana at Ephesus was not
burned, but is now Fanueil Hall, and that
Herodotus and Wendell Phillips we're the
same persons; that the fable of Romulus
and his brother being sucked by wolf
arose from the circumstance that their
mother was the firstV Vermonter who looped
her dresses; that Mercury was the an
cient name Of Ben. Buffers family and
that like everything elsein New England
the family had gone on perfecting itself
from the start; that the sun shines six
hours per diem more on thatfavored spot
than on any other between the poles; and
that Noah's family we're so much elated
at an alliance with the WebsterS of Massa'
chusetts that they got up dictionary to
commemorate that fact; that St. Patrick
was headcenter Of Fenian circle in
Bangor, and St. Andrew kept distillery
in Lowell and finally that the millenium
will begin in Boston, and will not be al
lowed to extend beyond its limits, except
by two.thirds vote of the taxpayers Of
that heavenly city, excluding all who
have at any time in their most secret
thoughts expressed doubt of the pro.

Familiarity Of Languages.

In all hot countries men use, in speak
ing, a multitude of vowels, which are all
pronounced by greater or lesser aper-
tions of the mouth, in breathing and in
speaking, and use very few consonants,
all of which are produced by more or
less complete interruption of the breath
and contact, or even closure of parts,
among the organs of speech. Any one
who examines the Italian language will
find, therefore, about sixty vowels
in every one hundred letters,
and in the 0teheitean (Tahitian)
language, which sounds very like Ita ian
there are even more: it is said about
seventyfve or eighty vowels in every
one hundred letters. The proportion is
very different in English, in which con-
sonants preponderate; and if we exam
inc the language of Lapland or Green
land, or of the Arctic American Esqui-
maux, we shall find that there is an
enormous number of consonants in their
more than sesquipedalian words, and
that most of these are cultural, as
they do not like to open their mouths
to the cold air sufficiently to pronounce
the labial, dental or lingual consonants,
much less the vowels, and least of all
the more open of the vowels. This is a
universal law; though immigration or
colonization, or the ancient transplant
tation of the whole nation by tyrant
conqueror, may sometimes present an
apparent exception or anomaly, by our
finding a language or a people, origin
ally temperate or torrid, in a frigid zone,
or rice UerSG.

What We Drink.
ME Philadelphia Ledger says:

The Philadelphia LedgeT says:
The manufacture of some of the liquor
which is now provided for drinking pur-
poses, is done in very queer way. 1t
is reported that great excitement has
arisen in Troy over the discovery of =
chemical laboratory for the distillation
of essential oils for the manufacture of
liquors. The discovery Of the place grew
out Of the fact that it emitted flavor OF
such significant odor and marvellous
power as to induce a sense of intoxica-
ton among all the people of the neig h
borhood. Stsid and sober men, who
had all their lives been sbstemious
to the severest degree, suddenly
and unconsciously found themselves
reeling under the staggering influence
of the surcharged atmosphere. An
official examination developed the cause.
A certain DR.. Webber had laboratory
wherein oils we're distilled, out Of which
all kinds of spurious liquors would be
readily made, and which taught to the
palpsble evidence OF the senses how the
whiskies, brandies, wines, etc, that
are the delight Of epicures, are prepared.
The Doctor was arrested and held to
bail, and the Trojsns have suddenly dis
covered that the pure liquors they
have been drinking are utterly innocent
Of grape and juice.

But the lesson is all the same
for the country at large, for that large
part Of the people that is not to be de.

Of the apprehension Of the people Of the
Pacific slope that the tendencies of the
dominant party are dangerous, and their
purpose that it shall no longer be trusted

BaE% The radical press of the country
in its effort to explain away the over
whelming overthrow Of their party in
the "Golden State" makes some very
striking confessions. The San Francisco
Bulletin, for instance, attributes the
success of Haight, the Conservative
Governor elect, WHOLLY to the determi-
nation of the masses Of the Union party
to rebuke an immoral system of party
management and break down corrupt
com binatiou of schemers and dema
gogues." The New York Herald, taking
a wider view, thinks the result attribu-
table to unpopular issues as well as the
corruption of offieeholders ard bad party
management 1t says;
The Democratic victory in California
is a protest against the niger supremacy
policy Of the Radicals; the protest OF
practical, energetic and never over.Con.
servative community against the wild
theories aud extravagant purposes that,

of disturbance, are paralyzing trade. We
may admit, in the broadest terms, that
there we're causes within the Republican
organization 10 the Pacific States that
weakened it. Republican voters in
California, as in Connecticut some time
ago, were disgusted with the conduct OF
their leaders, and remained away from
the polls. Thus the vote was reduced,
and this reduced vote was divided on
different candidates But these causes
only gave more enlarged held
10 the swelling wave, for the Demo
Gratis would probably have secured a
substantial victory without them. There
IS, however, just enough in this view OF
the result-in this argument Of the re-
duction and division Of the Republican
Vote serve for the use Of Radical
leadN with the masses in the Atlantic
and Mississippi Valley States. IL Will
