TETOED!

President Grant has put his veto upon
the bill to initiate the currency. For this
he deserves the gratitude of every honest
man in the country. 1t is light
ming stroke upon the infationists, a
blow from which they cannot recover.
1t lifts the administration above the murky
clouds bv which it has been surrounded
into the clear atmosphere of honesty and
right. President Grant has done no bet
ter act since he occupied the Presidential
Office than this Let its advocates say
what they would about the bill operating
to contract the currency, the principle
which it carried upon its face was wrong,
and for this deserved the fate it has met.
The government Is saved from the dis
grace that would and should attach to
it were it to sanction the increase of lying
paper promises, an act akin to repudia-
ton. Fer this all honor to President Grant.
His was the only power that prevented
the consummation of an act whose evil
consequences would have been calami-
tous. The veto is righteous deed. 1t is
An act that shows the Jacksonian stuff OF
which the President is made. 1t will
arouse the intense opposition of the baf-
fed inflationists to his administration, but
the honest masses Of the people will rally
around it, not emily in the east but in the
west and south, and sustain it triumphant
~ against all opposers.

WASHINGTON MATTERS.

Mr.. Kelley succeeded in having the bill
appropriating three millions for the Centen-
NAL made special order for consideration
on May 8.
The House Committee on Public Lands
have agreed to recommend the passage of a
bill providing that all lands heretofore granted
by Congress to railroad companies shall be
subject to local taxation the same as similar
property of individuals.
The Committee on Ways and Means will
take up in short time the House resolution
to fix the date of adjournment at an early
day. The general sentiment among members
of the Committee seems to be in favor of
agreeing upon the Goth of June, though there
are very few who believe that the Appro.
pration bills and other necessary legislation
can be disposed of by that time.
Mr.. Starkweather of Connecticut on Mon
day reported bill which was referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means, providing
that on and after July next there shall be
levied tax Of one twentieth of one per cent.
upon the sales of all stocks, bonds, gold and
silver bullion, coin, and promissory notes,
and other securities, the taxes to be collected
through the machinery of the internal rev.
enue bureau.
Senator Buckingham has aroused the in
dignaton of those Senators whose States
have on their borders uncivilized Indians, and
of many others, by moving to amend bill to
authorize the issue of arms to the authorities
of the State of Nebraska, for the use of set
tiers on its frontier, by providing that arms
shall also be distributed to Indians, to enable
them to protect themselves from the raids of
the settlers.
The resolution Of Judge Poland introduced
in the House in relation to Cuba, is similar to
the Carpenter resolution in the Senate. 1t
declares that in view of various political sit
uatons mentioned it has become the duty of
the United States to recognize Cuba as one of
the independent nations of the United States,
and the United States shall observe a strict
neutrality during the further prosecution of
the war, and will accord to each belligerent
rights.
Representative +. ii. Roberts Of the sub.
Committee on Ways and Means made re-
port to the full Committee Monday, ON the
subject of seizures of books and papers. 1t
proposes to repeal the law which gives that
authority, and to place the seizure of books
and papers of merchants on the same ground
that such seizures are made as to other
classes of citizens; also, to repeal all pro-
visions of law under which moieties of any
fines, penalties, or forfeitures, or any share
therein, are paid to informers or officers of
Customs, or other officers of the United
States, and requiring the proceeds of all
fines, penalties, and forfeitures to be paid in
to the Treasury. The Secretary of the
Treasury is authorized to make suitable COM
pensation to informers and other persons aid
ing in the detection Of smuggling and other
otienses against the Customs Revenue laws,
or aiding in convictions of the same

THE SATRORN REPORT.

The report is finished and has been read to
several members of the ways and means COM
mit,ee. The main points are represented TO
be the following.
The examination has embraced all persons
whom the committee supposed had knowi-
edge of the subject except secretary Boutweli,
who did not respond to the iDtimation that ne
might like to give the committee the beneht OF
his knowledge. The whole class of those
working to collect money under the Sanborn
contract, in the methods allowed or claimed to
be allowed by the Treasurer orders, are styled
marauders upon the Treasury. The course OF
Supervisor Hawley and ex-Supervisor Sim
mons is severely commented upon, ana the
conduct of Supervisor Tuition In disregardlng
some of the demands and in collecting some
classes of taxes himself is contrasted with
these others and highly complimented. The
issuing of secret commissions to Sanborn S
agents from the Treasury department is con-
demned as a most irregular and Objectionable
act The testimony Of Messrs. Richardson,
Sawyer and Banfeld, and their seeming at
tempt to rid themselves of their share OF the
responsibility, are severely commented up
on. The committee while thus censuring the
conduct of prominent officials, declares that
i, does not impute to them corrupt purposes
or acts. The claim is made that if the con-
tracts remain in force it will be equivalent to
legalizing bureau for the collection of inter-
nal.revenue taxes wholly independent Of the
commissioner of internal revenue, and which
can, under such administration Of the laws
as the Treasury has allowed, be made to viz
tually supersede the present bureau. The
whole machinery of the law is strongly con,
demned and an unconditional repeal Of the law
recommended

THELOUISIANA INUNDATION.

The overflow of Louisiana by the waters
Of the Mississippi is serious calamity &c
thousands of individuals and the State
A wide extent of country is flooded, re-
sulting in great destruction of property and
individual suffering. The despatch sent
to the Mayor of Boston appealing for aid
contained the following:
The overflow in Louisiana extends over the
following parishes: North Of Red River, in
GLIDING the Ouachita valley, Carroll, Catcha-
houla, Tensas, Concordia, Ouachita, Frank
lin, Madison, Morehouse, Richmond, Cald.
well, except narrow strip along the bank OF
the Mississippi river where the levees have
not been entirely destroyed. The weaker le-
wees having given away, causes the overflow
OF the rear lands, the water extending back
above and below the broken levees for miles.
The area Of these parishes is over two millions
of acres, of which 250 900 are cultivated in
cotton and 100, 900 in corn. No means of es.
timating the the losses of many hundreds of
small proprietors, in the way of gardens,
fences and cattle. Below Red Rivera the
sugar region there are twelve or fifteen Gre
vases overlooking or seriously affecting the
drainage of the elevated land in the parishes
Of Point Coupee, East and West Baton Rouge,
Iberville, Ascension, Assumption, Lafourche,
Trebourne, St. Mary, St. John, Baptist, st.
Charles, Jefferson and Plaquemine and St.
Bernard. The area of cultivated land in
these latter parishes seriously injure produces
20. 600 hogshsads Of sugar. The number OF
people in the State who are partially or to.
tally ruined cannot be less than twenty. five
thousand, many of whom are in absolute
want Of food. The reports of the continued
rise In all upper rivers indicates that there
can be no fall in the next 60 days. Should
the fall occur at an earlier day nothing could
be made in the sugar lands. and but little in
the cotton lands. The continued high water
will increase the number of sufferers to prob
ably 10000.
Many cities in New England are re-
spending generously to the call for assis-
lance. There is no doubt that ample re-
lief for the present will be afforded, bu,
the loss in property will not be repaid SC
readily. Not until permenant and suitable
works are constructed to keep the Mississ
ippi and ether rivers of the South
within proper bounds. will there be any
assurance Of safety against destructive
foundations in the low lands that border
them. The call of Mayor North upon the
people Of Augusta for assistance will we
hope bring forth liberal contributions.

THE CROPS.

The crop report is one in which every
body is interested Thus far it is of
q very favorable character. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has received very full
information concerning the appearance OF
wheat throughout the country. The re-
turns cover large proportion of the Win
ter wheat area in each State. The Winter
has been extremely favorable in all Sec
tons. No previous season has been more
generally SO since the Inauguration OF
crop reports. In the South very few ex-
ceptions to the general vigor and even
luxuriance of the growth have appeared.
In the Gulf coast region the Winter pas
turing of wheat fields has been practiced
to the advantage of the crop. In New
York and Pennsylvania the weather since
the middle of March has been unfavorable
on account Of the sudden changes of tenn.
perature and cold winds, to the injury Of
wheat on clay and undrained lands. In
Ontario, Niagara, Livingston, and Gen
essee, four counties which produce one.
third Of the Winter wheat of New York,
the average expectations are entertained,
though some injury from freezing and
thawing on low ground is reported. The
promise is remarkable in Pennsylvania,
nine-tenths of the counties making favor
able returns, many of them very fattcr-
ing. Fully three fourths of the counties
Of the Ohio Valley report either average
or superior condition. Beyond the Mis-
sissippi. Missouri and Kansas have still
fewer unpromising reports. There are
reports from the Northwest which are
more favorable than usual. but are of
little consequence, as theWinter wheat of
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa consti-
tutes less than two per cent of the wheat
Of that region. The prospect in California
Is very promising, though complaints of in
jury from an unusual cause-wet weather
have come from several counties. The
Secretary of the State Board of Agricul-
ture reports promise of 100000 of
bushels in the State.
