THE VETO.

Governor Fairchild vetoed the bill
author ling the construction of dam
IN the Chippewa River at Eau Claire,
which passed beth houses by bare ma
jorlties, because he considered that
dishonest and corrupt means had been
used to procure the passage of the bill.
For this proper and manly exercise of
bis veto power the Governor is re-
celVlng unjust eensure in many quart
ers. We consider that the Governor
performed noble act, and one worthy
to be followed more frequently by ex-
ecutlyes, in refusing his signature to
bill which he had reason to believe WIS
passed by bribery We are unable to
see that this act of the Governor &C.
essarlly impeaches all the members who
favored the bill Bat that undue and
aorrupting influences had been brought
TO bear on some Of the mem bers, adj
mits Of 40 doubt, aud this fact proved
every honest man must commend the
highly honorable position the Governor
has assumed.

VOTE FOR VIM. P LYON.


We trust that the Republican cleo.
fers will bear in mind that an Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court of Wis
eonsin is to be elected on Tuesday next.
the 4th of April. It is important
that the full Republican vote of each
locality be cast for Judge VIM, 2. Lyon.
The Democrats are making i. partisan
fight on Judge Lyon. and have entered
che field with bona tide political
candidate in the person of Judge D.
j. Pulling. Notwithstanding we make
an appeal to Republicans as such, yet
in no manner can Judge Lyon be con-
sidered partisan or political candi-
date. lie is now discharging the du-
ties of Associate Justice of the Su
prenle Court with great credit and abil-
ity, by virtue Of an appointment from
the Governor. and was asked to allow
the use Of his name as candidate at
the ensuing election by the unanimous
voice of the Republican members Of
the Legislature But he is the nom
inee Of no political convention, and
will not sit on the bench Of cur Su.
prsme Court trammeled by any party
predjudices
The Democracy are united to man
for D. j. Pulling, a bitter partisan
Democrat ofthe most altra stripe, and
are net without strong hopes that
through Indifference and apathy among
Republicans, they may elect their can
didate All that is necessary to-
tirely disproye and scatter this impress
ion is for the full Republican cote to
be cast for Judge Lyon. Let US not,
then, be deprived of the eminent SER
vices of Judge Lyon on our Supreme
Bench by neglect on the part of the
Republican voters in coming out
and heartily sustaining VIM. z. Lyon
for Associate Justice Of the Supreme
Court at the coming election.

THE NEW PARTY

4 short time since small knot of
gentlemen headed by Hon. j. D. Cox,
late Secretary of the interior, and
Judge Stanley Matthews, met togeth-
er in the city of Cincinnati for the pur-
pose of quietly talking over Revenue
Reform and some other matters. The
gathering was soon heralded all over
chs country as movement to establish
new or third party with the evident
design of some day abruptly bundling
up the present Republican party and
throwing it into corner. Indeed, the
aCincinnati movement" was said to be
the death knell CT the party. and many
were already engaged in procuring
badges to wear at the funeral. But
how erroneous the Impressions as to the
plans and purposes Of these individuals .
A declaration of principles was drawn
up by the meeting, calling for reforms
IN our present system of Revenue, but
the signers expressly said that their
object was to promote certain views,
which, in their estimation SHOULD
guide the future Of the Republican
party" Even by tie most ultra Rev
enue Reformers it is admitted that no
third party is required. We believe
the present Republican party is fully
able to meet the requirem ents Of the
country, aud is adequate to the task of
passing all necessary legislation for the
promotion and best interests of the en-
tire nation.

FROE MADISON.

MADISON, Marcel, 26th. 1871.
The Legislature of 1871, after 3. SEES
sion OF ssventy-fve days, has at last
adjourned siae-dte, and the quiet that
now prevails in this city and more es-
peaially in the Capitol building, is al
most oppressive to those who remain
here. ~
At the commencement Of the season
this Legislature appeared as though it
would be the most harmonious body
THAT had met here for many years
but as the session progressed signs be.
gan to show themselves that the "a D.
portionment" bill, and the "Dells I'm
provement bill would not be disposed
of without an animated contest. The
apportionment bill, after lengthy de,
bate passed both houses with but slight
changes from what it was, as reported
by the committee on Apportionment
The "Dells improvement" bill after
passing both houses by bare major
ity, was last Wednesday evening re
turned to the Assembly by the Cover
nor with his veto, on the ground that
one of the co-operators named In the
bill according to his own testimony,
taken by the investigating committee,
admitted that be had been guilty of
corruption; and further that he had
received statement signed by forty
one members of the Legislature, that
in their opinion, based upon knowl-
edge. the passage OF the bill had been
secured by bribery. During the
reading of the Governors reasons for
vetoing the bill, the utmost stiffness
reigned among all those that were pres
ent, but as soon as the Clerk had fin
ished, the question being, "shall the
bill! pass the objections of the Cover
nor to the contrary Notwithstanding
Mr.. Orion rose and in most eloquent
speech sustained the Governors posi-
ton, he was followed by other mem
bers the friends of the bill denounc-
ing the Governors action as a SANDER
upon the Legislature, and the opponents
staining it on the ground that in
neir opinion there was no doubt but
that corrupt means had been employed
to secure its passage pending the vote
the Assembly adjourned, and the next
day the veto was sustained by vote oil
80 to 49,.
In the Senate series of resolutions
which reflected upon the Governor s
private as well as public character was
introduced by Senator Pratt, of Wal
worth county, but after they had been
read by the Clerk he asked and Fob
tanned leave to withdraw them, on the
plea that they had been handed tc
him and he had introduced them with
out first reading them over
Before the final Adjournment of the
Legislature committee consisting OF
four Senators and five Members of the
Assembly was appointed to investigate
the action of the Governor, and the
Legislature in relation to the ''Dells'
bill, which will meet here some time
during the month of May. Thus in
the widest excitement the session Of
the Legislature of 1871 ended.

Sea SOnable Hints.

WE take the following timely sugges-
tions from the Philadelphia Ledger:
The nipping and eager air proclaims
the rapid approach of Winter. And
the Winter has thoughts and purposes
and duties, which must be entertained
and put in practice at once. Else we
shall have want of consideration, waste
and imperfect performance One ofthe
most imperative duties of the winter is
provision for the poor. Without doubt
the many excellent organizations which
exist will soon be in operation, and eff
forts will be made AMI continued to
give relief to such extreme cases as
present themselves to the public chari.
ties. The labors Of those organization
are greater than any can understand.
In the meanwhile it becomes the duty
of every one, within the circle of his
influence, to see what can be done to
anticipate the work of these associa-
tions, and, by anticipating, to prevent
suffering.
Shelter, clothing and fuel are requis-
ties which do not come within the per-
view of all benevolent associations to
so great an extent as the supply of food.
But the meaning of the word "starve,"
as given in old English diction aries, is
"to perish by cOid or hunger Common
usage restricts the meaning of the word
starvation to the lack of food but
no amount Of food will wholly
avert the prostrating effect of "star-
walton" by cold. The precautionary
measures just now to be taken by every
one who has more than Il sutliciency of
raiment, is to supply some person who
Is less fortunate. A vast amount Of
good can be done in this way, and the
disposal OF super fluous articles can be
SO managed rs not only TO anticipate
suffering, but to save the decent pride
and self-respect of the necessitous. Out
grown garments of children, and artic,
les belonging to older persons, or which
they no longer care for, may be made
to do excellent service, and ifjudicious,
ly distributed can be so given as to
seem the gift of friendship rather than
of charity. Onegreat advantage of fthis
mode Of making everything which can
be useful to any body, ofservice to some.
body, is, that the givers kno,c that their
donations are well bestowed and useful.
The relief of the urgent suffering in TIE
West has depleted some surplus ward
robes, but we hope it has not exhausted
them.
The wide prevalence of an EPIDEMIC
disease in various parts of the country
opens an unusual avenue for charity.
