To the Senate ofthe United States:
Herewith / return the Senate bill
No. eli, "An act to fix the amount
Of the United States notes and the
circulation of national banks for 9TH
er purposes" without my approval.
In doing so l must express my regret
at not being able to give my assent
to . measure, which has received the
sanction Of a majority of the lcgisla-
tors chosen by the people to make
laws for their guidance, and | have
studiously sought to find sufficient
argument to justify such assent, but
unnecessarily. Practically it is q
question whether the measure
under discussion would give an ad-
ditional dollar to the irredeema-
bic paper currency Of the country or
not, and, whether by requiring three.
fourths Of the reserves to be retained
by the banks and prohibiting interest
to be received on the balance, 1t
might not prove contraction, but
the fact cannot be concealed that
theoretically the bill increases the
paper circulation one hundred millions
Of dollars, less only the amount of re-
serves restrained from circulation by
the provisions of the second section.
The measure has been supported
on the theory that it would give an
increase Of circulation. 1t is fair
inference therefore, that if in practice
the measure should fail to create the

this important and expensive thor
oughfare, that it will at no distant day
become ruined as highway. 1t is
well known by persons who passed
over this road last winter, that there
were number of points that becam"
dangerous TO travel over, If not actual
ly impossible.
Now, what is the remedy? A con-
paratively few rods of stone, distribu-
ted judicously at this season of the
year, and a little extra labor at the
points where the "bottom fell out" in
the winter, will save hundreds Of dol
lars in the future cost of keeping up
the road; the ruts should be filled and
the stone that are put on should be
kept in place. A little undertaking
at spouty places, and cleaning out OF
bitches where filled up, is also neces-
isary. In order to see what is needed
it is necessary for the person in charge
to pass over the road frequently, and
to apply repairs wherever required.
We hope to see this matter attended
to, and these reads put in such con-
dition during The summer, that they
will be some some improvement over
the clay road in winter.

Our Free Turnpikes

The immense sums of money expen-
ded in this county for Macadamized
roads, will be excuse enough for call
ing the attention of the people to the
necessity of keeping them in better
repair. 1t is worse than extravagance
to allow these magnificent thorough
fares, which were constructed at such
enormous cost, to be ruined, for want
of a smsll annual outlay to keep them
up. Under the present law, the g
roadsare under the supervision of the
Township Trustees, and it is their du-
ty to see that they are kept in proper
order. Because they were originally
constructed of few layers of stone, is
no reason why that two or three days
cleaning on shovel handles" in year,
will be sufficient to keep them from
lapsing into u worse state than the old
fashioned mud roads.
The condition Of the Wernock pike
last winter justifies US in saying that
unless something Is done to improve

THE CLARK MONUMENT.
Dedicatory Services at Cadiz.

The history of the late Col. John B.
Clark, the gallant commander of the
One Hundred and Twenty-third Penn
war, and formerly pastor of the Second
U. p. Church, Allegheny, is too well
known to our readers, to De rehearsed.
Col. Clark was one of those rare men
of mark who distinguish each century;
his services in the pulpit, on the rOs-
trum and in the field, will never be
erased from history's pages.
His death on January Ii, 1872; his
burial at CadiZ, Ohio; .h. project to
raise monument To his memory, are
recent events. On Saturday (DecOra-
tion Day. the Clark memorial statute
was unveiled in the pre- eseuce of Vast
concOurse of friends from all sections,
especially from Allegheny, where Col
onel Clark was so we'll known and So
highly esteemed. About two O'Clock
on Saturday afternoon a procession Was
formed in Cadiz, and headed by a COM

brilliant address, recounting the tolls

diers, and eulogizing them for theiI
glorious achievements. After this,
Rev. T. H. Hanna, of Pittsburgh, de.

admired its excellent proportions and
beauty of finish. The grave was lii.

and wreaths of flowers. While tfiis
