VETO-NEW EDITION.

Mr.. johnson bias just issued new ed
ition of his celebrated veto. The body o.
the work has not been changed-only the
terms and names.
We must admit that to certain ex
tent we agree with Mr.. johnson in his
opinion Of the joint resolution he has
vetoed, namely, the resolution exclud.
ing from the electoral college the votes OF
states lately in rebellion, which shall not
have been reorganized." If these So
called states are In fact states of the I'm.
ion, then, Mr.. johnson is right in his
conclusion that it is q gross violation of
the Constitution and a wanton outrage
upon their rights to exclude their votes.
If, on the other hand, they are not states,
then there is 30 more need of joint re-
solution excluding their votes than there
is of q joint resolution excluding the
votes Of any other territories. Their
votes will be excluded az matter of
course. a rla lsuea 4.s.3
But while we agree with Mr. johnson
to this extent, we are forced to smile as
he repeats his old fallacy of equivocation
by which he makes out to his own salts
faction, apparently, that if the rebel
Estates" are in O territorial condition, then
secession was success, and the war for
the suppression of the rebellion was un
constitutional. We give him the benefit
Of own statement.
''The joint resolution under considera.
ton, however, seems to assume that by
the insurrectionary, act Of their respective
inhabitants those states forfeited their
rights as such, and can never again cxer,
else them except upon readnission into
the Union on the terms prescribed by
Congress. If this position be correct, it
follows that they were taken out of the
Union by virtue Of their acts Of secession,
and hence that the " ,waged on them
was illegal and unconstitutional We
would be thus be placed in this inconsist.
emf attitude, that while the war was com
menced and carried on the distinct ground
that the Southern states, being compon-
ent parts of the Union, were in rebellion
against the lawful authority of the Unit
ed States, upon It's termination W. resort
to Il policy OF reeonstructionr with assumes
that it was not in fact rebellion, but TIE
war was waged for the conquest Of terri
tories assumed to be outside otltbe con-
stitutioral Union" anal s7
By course reasoning precisely par
allel we can prove that it is illegal and
unconstitutional to arrest and punish u
murderer, thus: The law authorizing
the arrest and punishment of murderer
seems to assume that by his criminal acl
he has forfeited his rights as citizen and
can never again exercise them unless he
is restored to citizenship by Legislative
act or executive clemency. If this posi-
ton be correct it follows that he is wholly
absoved from his allegiance to the state
by virtue of his criminal act, aud henc;
his arrest and punishment is illegal ant
unconstitutional, because the state. has M
right to arrest or punish any man, WIN
does not owe it allegiance -N7soauhe'

platform Of the Chicago Convention was
published, the price of Gold began stead
lily to decline; but upon the adoption of
the New York platform it Immediately
began to ris c, and in two weeks reached
a point higher than at any time before in
months. This shows how the capitalists
of the world regard the respective policies
of the two parties as affecting the credit
and stability Of our Government. And
for these to whom the price of the necess-
aries and comfort of life is an important
consideration, it is a practical argument
ofno small weight and ono which they
not be slow IN applying.

THE DIRTIEsT THING YET.--When
General Grant left Washington to come
West, he was followed by sneaking spy
in the employ of the New York World,
who wrote dirty letters of personal abuse
to that paper about the Generals trip.
The only fact which this hired sneak real
ly discovered during his journey was that
three glasses of beer were actually taken
into the car which Gene.al Grant and the
party accompanying occupied but whether
the said beer was consumed by the Gene
raj or by others of the party, the smeller
could not positively state. The same
coutemptible spy, after trailing around
after the General, when he went to visit
relations in Ohio, and finding nothing bad
to report, was finally observed and accost,
ed bv friend of the General, and the fell
low admitted that hewss sent the World
to find out what he, could to the discredit
of the General, but that he had orders to
report nothing in his favor. g sgaa rows
i During the war, this same aHorld made
great fuss becauce the Government en-
ployed detectives to track menswho were
engaged in plotting treason, and called it
mean and dirty, contemplate business.
And yet, this same paper sends hired
spy after a man not engaged in plotting
treason, not dangerous to the very life of
the nation, but honored by the whole
world as its foremost defender and cham
pion---a man hired to drag the cutters for
miserable ISLANDERS against the fair name
of the faithful soldier, and under orders
to report nothing in9his favor 1a.g
The particular individual selected for
this dirty job is named Schuyler, and he
is now in or about this city. He was at
the Planters House recently, and it is
said that he is still spying about in the
neighborhood. OF course nobody will
do him any harm, forwe are law. abiding
people here, but it would be amazing f
any gentleman should eondscend to asso-
ciate with him-,St. Louis Democrat.

|. SERGEANT BATES AND HIS FLAG-A
PLAYED OUT DEMAGoGUE.--Poor Sergt.
Bates is evidently but a novice in the d.
plomatic art. lie has not learned the
great secret of seasonable subsiding. In
stead OF biding his time, he wants to be
head man on all occasions, and so makes
himself too commonplace A few months
ago he would have been pronounced By
Jefferson Brick "one of the most remark
able men In our country He had made
triumphal tour Of the South, had been
welcomed to the Executive Mansion by
the Chief Magistrate, and addressed as if
he were Lafayette or Kossuth by Con-
gresham Eldridge, ontbehalf of thousands
of people. But, instead of retiring on
these laurels, the gallant sergeant must
needs exhibit himself and Ibis flag" at SO

Baltimore, as if lie had been three-head.
ed calf or What-is-it Next he came ON
to the Democratic Soldiers Convention,
and, in trick borrowed from his theatric
career, at the opening of the convection,
the gallant sergeant was "discoyered"
waving his flag on the platform. This
performance falling rather fat, he next
headed the delegation to the Tammany
Hall Convention, "but" says ourreporter,
"his mission, whatever is was, appears to
have been accomplished some time SINCE"
He met "no recognition whatever ON the
part of delegates, aud, after hiding few
moments behind the rostrum celebrities, he
CROPPED his way unattended and unnoticed
out of the hall" The Sergeant probably
cannot comprehend why he should be
honored in March and sighted in July;
he has not learned that even great men
like himself can claim but .'brief hour
on the stage, and that when that is over,
there is no use in expecting an encore.-
