On Tuesday, the Presidsni sent to the Senate
his first veto message. We arc told by the cor
respondents that when the rumor got abroad
that the President had "vetoed something
there was quite little sensation in the corridors
Of Congress and not little curiosity eyinced to
learn its purpOrt. ItprOyed however, to be Of lit
tie consequence, further than il marks the Presi-
dents first exercise Of q privilege brought into
such general diScpute BY its frequent prostitu-
ton at the hands Of his predecessor, Andrew

Especial Despatch to THE TIMES
LAWRENCE, August Is, 1867.
A great anti Clarke meeting is in progress
here tonight. Capt. Matthews spoke and
hit Clarke some telling blows. He received
marked attention.
When the second speaker, colored man,
came upon the stage, an organized move
mcnt by some Clarke men present was made
to break up the meeting. The disturbance
took place both in the house and out of doors.
Some stones were thrown through the win
dows and one pistol shot was sent among
the rioters, which had some effect in cooling
them.
Col. John Richie, with coat Of, Is now
ON the stand, and the anathemas hurled at
the disturbers by him and Matthew'S and
others, have cleared the room of them and
all is now orderly.
Gov. Robinson and others are yet 10 speak.
Organized demonstrations like this do not
help Clarke Great excitement and indigna-
ton is the result.

THE FtRsr DECISIVE REsuIr or THE

The FiRsf DECISIVE RESULT OF THE
WAR.-The complete evacuation of Rome
by de Frsach troops, AFTER protective occu-
patton Of the Holy City against the reds for
over seventeen years. Considering,
too, how obnoxious this occupation Of Rome
has been to the French republicans and 70
the Italians, and considering the fact that this
ev.cu,Gion means the delivery Of Ro1e 20
Italy and the abandonment Of the Holy
Father to his own resources, the event Is Of
the highest importance, not only in relation
to Rome, Italy, the Pope and Mother
Church, bait in reference TO the general re
construction Of the map Of Europe At the end
Of this gigantic war. As to the dogma Of
Pspal infallibility, We see already that,
touching the political destiny even Of the
States Of the Church, il is nothing more than
.'the Pope,s bull against the ComeG !" aid
that the Ecumenical Council, to the outside
world, Is already among the things Of the
past.-Ner York Herald.
