VETO OF THE ARKANSAS BILL.

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-The President
sent the following message to Congress to |
day.
To the House Of Representatives Of the
United States:
l return. without my signature, bill en-
titled IAN act to admit the State OF Ar
kansas to representation in Congress"
TO approve of this bill would be an admis-
sion on the part of the Executive that the
act for the efficient government oftbe rebel
States, passed March 2, 1867, and the acts
supplementary thereto, were proper and
constitutional. My opinion, however, in
regard to these measures has undergone no
change, but on the contrary, has been
strengthened by the results which have at
tended their execution, and even were NOS
this the case, l could not consent to bill
which is based upon the assumption either
that by an act of rebellion by q portion Of
its people the State Of Arkansas seeded
from the Union, or that Congress may, at
it's pleasure, expel or exclude any State
from tie Union, or interpret it's relations
with the Government by arbitrarily depriv-
ing it of representation in the Senate and
House of Representatives,.
| IL Arkansas IS not State IN the Union.
this bill does not admit it "a State. II
on the other hand, us State in the Union
no legislation is necessary to declare it en-
titled to representation in Congress. As
one of the States of the Union the consti.
tuition already declares that each State
shall have at least one Representative. and
that the Senate shall be composed of two
Senators from EACH State, and that nc
State, without its consent, shall be depriv.
ed ofits equal suffrage in that Senate. Il
also makes each House the judge of tbs
election returns, and the qualifications d
It's own members, and therefore all that il
now necessary to secure Arkansas 10 all it
constitutionalr relations to the Government
is decision by each House upon the eliQi
bility of those presenting their credential'
aud claims to seats in the respective Houses
OF Congress. This is the plain and sim
pie plan of the constitution, and had j
been pursued when Congress assembled il
, the month OF December. 1865. the restora
/ ton of the States would have been Ion,
since completed. again earnestly recon
mend that it be adopted by each House o
Congress in reference to the legislation
| which respectfully submit, which is no
only of doubtful constitutionality, and

Engineering and Drawing. Every one
acquainted with Gen. Graham or Gen.
Sherman remarked the lifelike APP
pcarancc and fidelity to the originals
of the portraits: We do not profess to
be connoisseur in art, but if the value
of picture consists in likeness to the
original, then these two portraits must
lie considered masterpieces of their
kind. On the opposite wall were three
fine paintings illustrating Cali quiet
on the Potomac tonight" by the same
artist. Col. Lockett is young artist
of much promise. and we predict for
him high position in profession to
which he is enthusiastically devoted.
We hope that these pleasant gather
incs at our State Institution may at
tract more attention in the future than
they have hitherto done. Next yeal
i will graduate the first class the Semin-
ary has ever sentforth, and its influence
upon the educational interests of the
State will begin to be moro sensibly
felt. Too much praise cannot be
/ awarded Col. D. F. Boyd, the Snperin,
tendent, 70. the successful management
of the institution for the last three
4 years, surmounting difficulties which
for the last year at least, seemed I'M
4 possible to be overcome. We hope
| that his energy and ability will be re
warded by full complement of stn
dents at the opening of the next session
in September.

NEW YOR K.

NEW YoRK, November l8.-Last even
ing, about l0@ o'clock, the extensive
paper mills of Messrs. Smith, Tompkins
4 Co., at Chatham Four-Corners, were
totally destroyed by fire. The loss was
ss5, 900; insurance, $4,000. The mills
have recently been set in operation, and
was manufacturing Newspaper from
straw by a new process. The machinery
was very extensive, and the loss falls
heavily on the owners. 1t will be re-
built with all possible dispatch.

Gen. Grant was to witness irot by

return to Washington.
Benjamin B. Bangs, of Brooklyn, con-
uected with the Warren Roofing Com
pany, yesterday committed suicide.
John T. Beach, well known resident
of Brooklyn, was arrested yesterday by
detective Smith, upoa the charge of hav-
ing guilty possession of several $1,000
bonds of the county loans of Onondaigs
county, New York, which we're stolen,
with the securities, from the Syracuse
Savings Bank on the first of April last.
Mr.. Beach is stock broker, and will
have to explain how he became possessed
of the bonds.
The Times Port Jarvis (NY.) special
says as the locomotive No. 287 was
standing in the yard at Port Jarvis, the
boiler exploded, instantly killing the en-
giueer, Fred. Hardenburg. The fireman
was in front Of the engine, and escaped
unharmed. Hardenburg was carried
over the top of the trees, and was found
about one hundred and fifty feet from
the engine, his body horribly msngled
and wedged in between two stumps.
The dome Of the engine went through the
roof Of house two hundred feet distant,
passing through bedroom-fortunately
unoccupied-snd landing in the kitchen
below.

Grant and sherman.

However inconsistent his record and
unpalatable to Southern taste his course
in the Presidential canvass, there is no
denying the good sense and sagacity OF
RAYMOND of the New York Times
Referring to the many conjectures as to
the names of cabinet officers to be Sc
lected by the incoming President, which
are all to no purpose, except as they may
indicate the public sentiment TO General
Grant, the Times suggests Sherman as
likely to be foremost. We trust it may
be SO. For of all the Federal generals,
and indeed officers of this government,
the views Of Shermaa are known to be
the most msgnanimous aud statesman
ike. The counsels of Sherman will tend
to peace. What vast gain should we
have to the country if official corruption
should be put DOWN. The Times says:
OF all these, we believe that William
| 7. Sherman will be the man nearest to
| the new President and most influential
| in his counsels, whether the former shall
be Secretary of War, General or Lieu
tenant General. In one of these capaci-
ties General Sherman will doubtless re-
side at Washington during General
| Grants administration and so far as
President Grant is concerned, it will
make no difference as to his most trusted
| Lieutenant's influence with him, which
of these offices Sherman may choose to
occupy-for we believe that the option
rests with the latter. There is no re-
ward for Sherman's services within the
power of Grant TO bestov, which the
General Of the Army would not eagerly
confer on the man who was his most
trusted counselor aud most efficient CO
adiutor through the war, and whose
often-tried friendship for him was one Of
the most beautiful incidents Of the war.
The country has no reason to be jeal
GUS Of the counsels Of such man as
Sherman-the most brilliant, but the
: least understood Of our generals. He is
not only not politician, but never could
become ons. Endowed with the most &C
tive and keenest Of intellects, be is so ut
terly honest that be- would be as likely to
discover aud sssail the weakDesses, cor
ruptions and absurdities Of his own as
those Of the opposite party. 4 more uu'
manageable man there is not in America
SO far a. party purposes are concerned
he would be peFpetually saying the
wrong tbiBg ct the wrong time. When
be was sounded last year, with view tc
the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency, the politicians who attempted
the Job were beEildered by bis slternass
denuncistions Of Radical folly and Cop
perhead disloyaliy. For each he had .
volley Of those sharp, singing, stickiRs
invectiTes which only an intense, earn
est and honest thinker like Sherman car
hurl.
