GETTING UNEASY.

On July 18th, the Hsrald in noticing
the passage of the Resolutions denounc-
ing the Executive Committee in general
and Geo. NJ Pinney in particular, said:
We wish here especially to refer to the pat
riotisrn and wisdom of the Convention as
evidenced by the promptness and unanlmlty
Ygith which IL passed resolutions condemnlng
the dishouorable course of Go. NJ. Plnney,
t,Lairrnan of the Union Territorial Commit
tee. and the remainder OF the members of the
Executive Committee to whom were lntrusted
the control of the affairs pertaining TO the
party in this Territory
And now from the Herald Of the 29th-
II a matter of supreme Indifference TO US

a Territorial Convention of Republicans

was patriotism and wisdom" to you on

it to deeds of hostility to the
United States, and mal-administration
of local affairs. Neither does the ninori-
ty want to be hopelessly in the minority
"a presence that will only excite to
brow beating and contumely. 1t should
have a strength that would command
notice and respect, and without that,
your laws, resolutions and appropri-
atoms will grow more grievous until a
sudden tide of revolt will throw the en-
tire political control of the Territory
into the hands of the opposite party,
Democrats can see this plainly working
in Montana to-day, and while we ordi>
narily view it as party journalist. we
can say Independent of that, that to re-
tain the majority in this Territory for
1869, Democrats are necessitated to yield
literally to Republicans in 1868. Taking
this view of the case, it is the duty of
eUery Republican to go to the polls on
Monday and vote the ticket, that we
may have denunciation of. and relief
from, the monstrous burlesque on legis'
lation that last winter issued it's edicts
from the Capital. 1t is to Democrats a
point of honor and discretion, not to
seek longer to toist the imposition upon
| this people that is well nigh shat tering
their party to fragments and bringing
disgrace upon their name, and to repu-
diate its acts. 1t is the duty of ali to
see that good Republicans are sent to
the House and Council, that bad may not
become worse. We submit this view of
duty" to the electors of Montana and
hope that it may be given consideration
and meet approval.

The Gazette was deliriously gratified
Yesterday over good joke" perpetra-
ted by the Republicans of Gallatin
county, in nominating Mr.. Philip Thorpe
for the Assembly. The Guzette has been
most egregiousiy sold on the matter,
and set up the halloo before it was out
of the woods. Mr.. Thorpe is about as
thorough a black-and-tan Republi~
can as there is in Montana; can date his
utilization in Montana back TO the or
ganization of the first Union League
and demonstrate it with as nfany
straight votes for the Urion party as
any man in the Territory Republicans
only vote once at any one election)
Notwithstanding this the Gdzette, with
dignified pomposity, asserts, parenthet-
ically, !" He is a democrat" In mercy to
the Gazette We hope the wags of the
town will be less severe in their practi-
cal jokes. The Republicans Of Galla~
tin have some idea what they are about,
as you will appreciate by next Monday.
and they neither mistook their men, or
nominated those who had been dead
half a year as the wide awake democ>
racy Of Ohio did few days since. Mr..
i. was not present at the Convention,
but he will be at the next session of the
Legislature, which will answer the pur-
pose fully as well.

-% From notice in another column
it will be seen the County Commissioners
invite proposals. for loans upon County
Bonds, to be issued in sums Of 5000 and
upwards. to the amount of$6, 600. These
Bonds will bear six per cent. interest and
are exempt from taxation. The object in
issuing them is to provide means for road
purposes, and we hope our public spirited
citizens will come forward at once and in
vest in them. In order to have the new
road system carried into successful opera
ton means are necessary at this particu-
lar time The Commissioners, upon Sc
rious reflection, have adopted the plan Of
issuing Bonds, as. above stated, as the
best means Of raising the required sum.
We hope all Of our citizens who have the
means will exhibit public spirit enough to
invest in these Bonds. The investment
i safe one andIshould be literally re-
spoHded to by all who feel an interest in
the welfare and future success of our old

THE OMNIBUS REcoNsTRUcT1oN BILL.
Veto OF the Precedent.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The President
to-day sent the following message to the
House of Representatives, returning with
his objections. the bill generally known as
the Omnibus Reconstruction bill: 81 =
To the House Of Representatives.: ~>-.s=,---
I'm returning to the House of Representa-
tives, in which it originated, bill entitled
"An act TO admit the States of North Carroll
IA, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Ala
bama and Florida to representation in Con-
gress," do not deem it necessary to state at
length the reasons which constrain me to
withhold my approval. L will not, therefore,
undertake, at this time, to reopen the discus
sion upon the grave constitutional questions
involved in the act of March 2, 1867, and the
acts supplementary thereto, in pursuance Of
which it is claimed, in the preamble to this
bill, these States have framed and adopted
constitutions of State Government. Nor
will 1 repeat the objections contained in my
message of the goth instant, returning with
out my signature the bill to admit to repre-
sentation the State Of Arkansas, and which
are equally applicable to the pending meas.
ure - '
Like the act recently passed in reference to
Arkansas, this bill supersedes the plain and
simple mode prescribed by the Constitution
for the admission to- seats in the respective
Houses Of Senators and Representatives from
the several States. 1t assumes authority over
six States of the Union which has never been
delegated to Congress, or is even warranted
by previous unconstitutional legislation upon
the subject of restoration. 1t imposes condi-
tons which are in derogation of the equal
rights Of; the States, and is founded upon a
theory which is subversive of the fundamen-
tai principles of the Government. In the
case of Alabama, it violates the plighted faith
|of Congress by forcing upon that State Con-
stitution which was rejected by the people,
according to the express terms of an act of
Congress- requiring that a majority of the re-
gistered electors should vote upon the ques-
ZION Of its ratification. yror : .aJ -'.a
For these objections. and many others that
might be presented, cannot approve this
bill, and therefore return it for the action
Of Congress required In such cases by the
Federal Constitution, iJls.59 3 fsj# Mae-

nearly approaching completion. For this
"evfdence ofprogress" we hope our neigh
Dor will give us due credit, as the above
Improvement is matter very nearly con-
corning every citizen of our town. You
know, friend Downes. being alone, this
is hereabouts more highly
appreciated. In the matter of Bakery,
our neighbor will admit that we are ahead
of him in this particular, at least. Ours
has not been recently established, but is
an old established institution of several
years standing. We are willing to admit
that Leonardtown is entitled to the palm
in the matter of enterprise. Yet there
are some attractions here which not even
our sister village can boast Of. Among
them we might refer to the countless my
riads of natures musicians, who, towards
the close of evening, render the very air
musical, and whose alto and bosso. so far
from being an obstruction, are, with the
natives, an invitation and gentle wooing
to ''tired natures sweet restorer, balmy
sleep" Come up, neighbor, some warm
evening and enjoy the music, you shamt
be hurt But, joking aside, the truth is
undeniable that our citizens exhibit but
little of the public spirit which should
characterize them. Port Tobacco is at a
stand still and will doubtless remain so
unless new spirit should pervade our CT
tizens, which, judging from the past, is
not likely to be the case. .4 '7.- n:

Mary's Beacon: itau.. -s..
From feelings of modesty, and not to ex-
cite jealous emotions in our sister villages in
Southern Maryland, we have heretofore re-
Trained from noticing the new buildings which
have been erected upon the suburbs and
within the corporate limits Of our town in
the last year or so. But forbearance has at
last ceased to be virtue, and it affords US
pleasure to tell our rivals, one and all-Prince
Frederick, Upper Marlboro and Port Tobac-
co-that Leonardtown, although at present
far ahead of any one of them, is not yet '''6p-
ished" nor likely to be until she. outnumbers
them oil combined in the quality and guam
tity Of her buildings as well as in the extent
Of her commerce and population. Our cal
culation sat presentrat Of progress, that
it will take about five years to bring all this
about. But to out village provements.-
There's the neat new Store House Of Vile &
Ford, near the Union Hotel; next, the'spien-
did suburban residence of R. G. Combs. with
corresponding outbuildings, ETC.; next, the
cozy little residence of J.. J. Jarboe; then.
the spacious and imposing dwelling erected
by Thomas Dillow, nearly opposite the Ca
tholic Church then, over the way, to the
rear of the Church, the unique-Iookiug resi-
dence of the Jesuit Fathers. All these, and
kitchens, Offices and shops, too. numerous to
mention. Other dwellings, also, are inicourse
of erection and others still are contemplated.
Our commerce-but we forbear all of our
rivals are inland townsend we are solicit
Gus to hurt nobody's feelings. Suffice it, that
three steamboats, find it profitable to hold
communication twice week with us, and sail
vessels are nearly always to be found at our
wharves. When to these evidences of pro-
gress, we add the recent establishment of a
bakery in our town, we have said enough we
hope to convince the most credulous that,
though Prince Frederick, Upper Marlboro
and Port Tobacco are we'll enough in their
way, still comparisons, you know, etc, etc.,

buildings, referred to above, were all erected.

We assure our old and much respected
