A Righteous Veto.

The Philadelphia or Metropolitan Police
bill has been vetoed by lie Governor. where
at there is weeping. wailing and gnashing
of teeth by the radical organs of the leg
islative ring. Some of the radical members
Of the House from Philadelphia have even
gone 80 far as tn insinuate that Geary was
Influenced 10y corrupt motives. The veto is
creditable paper and takes high democrat
ic ground. the Police bill WAS huge job
snd originated with the notorious William
z. Mann and otbcrS rf his well known stripe.
1t WAS not asked for by The PEOPLE Of Phiia-
deli hia. but was passed against their earnest
aid vehement protest. That the veto is
right. is conclusiveiy shown by the fact that
ali the papers Of that city. with the solitary
exception of Forrey's Press, eulcgze and
sustain it. In this instance, at least, We are
well convinced that Governor Geary did
righteous act. aud that the psople who were
to be affected by the proposed law will sus-
tain him in relieving them from its partisan
and unjust provisions.

Some Startling Figures.

One of the very abeSt speeches delivered
during the present session Of Congress. was
made Oh the 28th If January, by that ortho-
dux and accomplished democrat, the Hon.
". Voorhees, Of Indiana. Three years ago
he was the victim of the political wrath of
the Committee on Elections. aided and con-
trolied 10y the potent voice of 1'haddeus Ste
vens. and through their combined influence
was elected from his seat in the House of
Representatives,, to which he had been fairly
and honestly elected. His warm hearted
and generous constituents Ienominated him
last summer and returned him 10 his seat
from which he had been urjustly expelled,
by triumphant maj"rity. By common
consent. Mr.. Vnorhees is admitted to be the
most eloquent man. of either party. in Con-
grcsS. us speech was mainly coLfined to
the public debt aud finances Of the country.
The following imperfect synopsis of the most
important portion of it will command gen.
eTal attention:
''Ile had made his alculations-made

Following close in the wake Of the defeat
OF the bill comforting general Jurisdiction on
the "District Court" at JohnstoWu. we ave
now, as We predicted, made acquainted with
lie handmlii. in the alluring sh tpe of bill
which was introduced in the House. a few

from the obscure village OF Ebenshurg to the
imperial city Of Juhnstowu. These twin

COFODE.

We have heretofore stated that the C,,m.
mttee on E ections in the national House Of
Representatives, had reported in favor of
John Cuvode and If course against Henry
ID. Foster. The infamy was consumn ated
on the 9th instant by awarding the sat to
the alligator" by strict party vote. That
this is an outrage, fagrant and paIpable, is
not seriously questioned. The Philadelphia
Inquirer Of the 10th contains the following
Washington dispatch in reference to the
case:
Mr.. Foster failed to put in his appear
ance to-day and although Mr. Randall tried
very hard to cover up his retreat and make
a show Of deerse. in order to- hold the Dem
"crstic vote solid he was seconded by Messrs
Burr and Stiles, hut they evaded the direct
issues which Mr.. Churchill had Tut so Gear
!y before the House, and merely tried to
befog the case.
1T was source of regret to Mr.. Cnvode
that Foster would not face the music and
put In an appearance. as he desired to ask
him some question"
TIE name of The man who sent this dis
patch is Painter. and his residence is West
Chester. He is hanger-on about The Con
gresSional purlicuS. AID has acquired some
notorety from having travelled with John
Covode whenever that distinguished gentle
man intended making a speech and putting
it in good English. This man Painter has
deliberately he'd more than twenty times
about this whole case. CT course he has
been well paid for Lis subserviency by his
patron, john Covode.
1t was as easy as it was outrageous for
this Committee TO make a rer.rt that Co.
vode was elected. The operation was As
simple as it was new aud unparalleled In
Dunbar township, Fayette county, Gen
Foster had majority uf l98. and in the
Youngstown district, in WestmoreIand coun-

We heartily endorse the proposition of the
Indiana Democrat that Henry ID. Foster
shall be unanimously nominated as the next
democratic candidate f,r Congress, from thar
