GEN SHERIDAN AS BoY.-When
Sheridan was a boy of only five years
old he displayed the traits of the
future cavalry commander. He was
lifted by some other boys, in pure
mischief, on the back of very
vicious horse, without saddle or bri-
die. Away the steed started, leaped
over a fence into the road, and ran
at tremendous speed for several
miles. "Little Phil" clung firmly to
the horses name; until the animal
suddenly turned into the shed of a
tavern, where its owner had often
stepped in his travel. Men came out,
looked at the foaming horse, without
saddle or bride, then at the boy on
his back, and then one said to the
unterrified Phil:
"Who learned you to ride?"
Nobody" said the boy.
'Did no one teach you how to sit
on horse?i' asked another.
80, yes; Bill Seymour told me to
hold on with my knees and did"
WASN'T you frightened?"
''Not bit. l wanted to go farth-
er, but the horse wouldn't 60"
Saint you sore, boy?"
"Kinder; but I'll be better to-mor-
row and then I'll ride back home"
The horse had unseated many ex-
cellent horsemen; but Phil Sheridan
was quite eager to ride him home
wards, and cared nothing for his own
lameness, which lasted several days.

~ The Oberlin Meas is mistaken
in supposing the Governor OF Ohio
has the veto power. The Democra-
CIV have full swing-all the powers
and all the responsibility of the Leg
islatlve Department in Ohio for the
next two years. We shall expect to
see taxes reduced to nothing, and
every tax payer presented with anew
flannel shirt before that time expires.
This will be not only in accordance
with the promises of a party while
in the minority, but will do a great
deal to make capital for it, by en-
couraging the wool business.-C0lans-

uEEr1uG OF TIE LEGISLATURE.

= The Governor elect, Gen. R. K. Soorr, has is
sued q proclamation cOnvening the Legislature of
this State on Monday next, 9th instant, in the
CITY Of Columbia. The constitutional amendment
wll be adopted and United States Senators elec-
ted, when it is presumed the Legislature will ad-
iourn for short time and await the reception of
che news that the State has been allowed Con-
grcssional representation. It IS stated that the
members.eieet of the Legislature will not be sworn
in, until after the State is declared entitled to
representation in Congress. In the meantime, the
Reconstruction acts are in full force, the State
government provisional only. and the military au-
,thoritY. supreme.
AZ this writing, We are not advised in regard'to
che contest made about the members from this Lis
tric:. We will say this much, however, in ad-
vance, that unless the Democrats elected are priv
ilcged to take their seats, Gen. CANDY has only

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

In publishing extracts from the letters of Messrs
KuHrMAss and SMITH. which appeared in this
journal last week, the Charleston Ne,rs says edito
rally:
We print This morning full abstract of two let
ters which have been received by Gen. Harrison
containing graphic but faithful account of the
vast wealth of the border counties of South Caro-.
lima and the line of the Blue Ridge Railroad. The
facts stated may seem incredible TO those who dc
not know the region which they describe, and they
will be surprising to many who have believed that
they were we'll acquainted with our mineral and
agricultural resources Every word may, however
be relied on as the simple, straightforward truth
Thera is every reason to believe that the Blue
Ridge Railroad will be completed during General
Scotts term of Office, and We are glad to see indi
cations that the State is more alive to the i'm
portance Of that vast undertaking.

VETO, OF THE OMNIBUS BILL.

WASHINGTON, June 25
The following is the message Of President John
son, returning the omnibus reconstruction bill,
with his objections
To the House of Representatives.:
In returning TO The House of Representatives, in
which it originated, n bill entitled IAN Act TO ad-
nit the States Of North Carolina, South Carolina,
Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Florida to repre-
sentaton in Congress-" do not deem it necessary
10 state at length the reasons which constran me
TO withhold my approval. | will not, therefore,
undertake, Mt this time, to reopen the discussion
upon the grave constitutional questions involved in
the Act of March 2 I867, and the Acts supplement
tal thereto in pursuance of which 1t is claimed, IN
the preamble TO this bill. these States hnve formed
and adopted Constitutions of State government.
Nor will repeat the objections contained in my
message of the Goth instant, returning without my
signature the bill to admit to representation the
State of Arkansas. and which are equally appca
Bile to the pending measure. Like the act recently
passed in reference to Arkansas, this bill super
cedcs the plain and simple mode prescribed by tho
Constitution for the admission to seats in the re-
spective Houses Of Senators and Representatives
from the several States. 1t assumes authority over
six States of the Union which has never been dele
gated to Congress, or is warranted by previous
unconstitutional legislation the subject of res
toraton. It. imposes conditions which are in de-
rogation of equal rights of the States, and is found
ed upon theory which is subversive of the funda-
mental principles of the Government In the case
of Alabama it violates the plighted faith of Con-
gress, by forcing upon that State Constitution
which was rejected by the people, according to the
express terms of an Act of Congress recurring that
majority of the registered electors should vote
upon the question of its ratification.
For these objections, and many others thn! might
be presented, I cannot approve this bill, and,

Ear The .an1saaon Lnfelliaencer.

Mr. EpITon: 1 had the pleasure on last Satur
day of being present at the meeting of the Flat
Rock Democratic Club, and at the request of the
Chairman, send you The following resolutions for
publication, which were unanimously passed:
Resolued, That we recommend to DR.. Broyles,
President. of the Anderson Democratic Club, the
propricty of calling meeting at Andersou-of OF all
the Democratic Clubs of the District, TAT his earli-
est convenience, for the purpose Of organizing q
Central Club.
Immediately after the adjournment Of the Club,
meeting of the citizens was held, A. 0. Norris,
ESQ.,, in the Chair. On motion the following reso-
luton was unanimously adopted:
Resolred That We cordially endorse call made
through the Inteigencer for meeting of the citi-
zens at Anderson on the 18th of July for the pur-
pose of organizing Farmers Association.
TIE above, Mr.. Editor, is as it should be-
.hink We should keep the farming interest of the
country as distinct from politics as may be con-
venient. Let each interest, as far as possible, be
assigned to and kept in its appropriate depart
ment. The people of Flat Rock. seem wide awake,
and quietly, yet firmly, lay hold. of every scheme
that looks to the public good. From what can
hear from different portions of the District, we
may expect a largo crowd on the 18th of July.
One word in regard TO the first resolution.
think we have already been too dilatory n.regard
to this matter 1t is true the party in the District
heretofore has done well-evincing remarkable
spirit of self-sacri6ce, and thereby achieving u
victory which, under the circumstances, is almost
unprecedented. But we must not now sleep over
our laurels Itrequires the same sacrifice and vigi
lance to keep party in successful operation that
it does to form it. We must not only give our
aelves.to the duty of further Strengthening our
cause in.the District, but by all MEANS do all ne
can to infuse encouragement and strength to the
cause throughout the Sta,e in which it is true we
are in, a considerable minority. But candidly
believe that we haze all the elements of power
which, if wisely and prudently applied, may yet
place us in the ascendaney. We must, however,
be patient, and not allow ourselves to'become dis
heartened anarestless under partial disaster. Re-
member it takes time to accomplish grand results,
and it would be result worthy the wisdom and
prowess of the old Palmetto State to wrest her
people from the jaws of Radicalism. H.
