President by law for vetoing the bill reconstruct
ing Arkansas into the Union expired yesterday,

alive, the State can now resume her place in
the family Of States. Her Senators and Repre-
sentatives have been chosen and arc ready 20
enter upon their duties as soon as they shall
have taken the oath Of Office. II isprobable that
the President will pursue q similar course In 10
CARL to the other Reconstruction bill, which adj
mils six other States, as he knows that II he We
toed ID II would be passed. over his veto. We
are glad to soc this indication Of Mr.. Johnson's
determination not longer to resist Congress in
It's reconstruction policy. In his past course he
has sufficiently maintained his own views, and
he can now very properly let the measures pass,
leaving Congress 10 take the responsibility OF Its
acts, which il win be quite willing to do.

DrNocn,ric "EcosoNr."-At the Grant and

N. Y, Hon. J. II. sclkrcs, Of Ithaca, read, as
an example Of Democratic economy, the bill Of
expenses that had been presented to the last
Legislature by the proprietor Of the Metropoll
tan Hotel, New York.
"The bill. he said, was created by six Demo
cratic Senators, who had been appointed CON-
mittee 10 investigate some transactions In New
York and brooklyn. They were about three
weeks In New York, and the bill amounted 20
only S1,706,60. The items were enumerated,
and Mr.. Selkrcg said he would vouch for their
correctness The first article mentioned was
whisky. then, brandy, cigars, whisky. carriages,
bar, whisky. cigars, whisky, brandy, cigars,
whisky. carriages. tickets, bath, etc, amount-

of Democratic economy. The time Is coming
soon when such squandering Of the public treas.

really for the campsign-they have chosen their
leaders, and are SURE Of success"

sentences from the Springfield Republican in
regard to the characteristics Of the two parties.
or the Democrat party it says: ....-
at always tries TO win, and not at oil to pre-
serve its dignity. II is never caught with its
baggage trains on the line Of battle, or its dirty
clothes on the front steps. II can find something
for the biggest fool to do, and makes George
Francis Train As seryiccable in his place as q
better man. II can put down too ambitious
politician as easily as Rome could crush pre-
late who was becoming dangerous. II has no
cumbersome sentiments. II Is never troubled
with gratitude. II knows no remorse. II saw
the blunder committed in New Hampshire, by
sending yirulent copperheals there, and accord
ingly in Connecticut 1t put forth only its dis
crceter and reputable speakers. II Is ready to
take Chase with his anti-slavery record unblot-
Ted, rather than lose the election, and would DO
delighted TO 9 cept Faragut, without pledge
or intimation Of his political views"
Following this anal, sis, we have q definition
Of The Republican organization, Is follows,
