THE N. Y. HERALD ON PRESIDENT
GRANTS VETO OF THE IN
FLATION BILL.

President Grant has the remarkable faculty of
doing the right thing at the right time. His cha
racter shows the supreme value of what has been
called saving common sense" His message
vetoing the Senate Initiation bill is, on the first
reading, a disappointing document. It lacks
rhetorical completeness and finish. There is not
what might be called a striking, burning sentence
from the beginning to the end. 1t would be
difficult to write a more clumsy or moro awkward
document. And yet the more we study it the
more remarkable it appears. We see that the
President understood the subject from the begin
ming that he comprehended the whole question.
its strong points and its weak points, and that
he arrived at the conclusions he expresses by
memorable and crushing logic.
For there is no logic SO severe as that of com-
mon sense. The argument which the President
makes is complete and ~unanswerable. The as
sertion that the Senate bill would really result IN
contraction is dismissed as a mere play upon
legislation. The theory of the bill, he shows is
to add q hundred millions to the currency. NOW
, 1874-05-09

At the time the Prince rendered this advice
he was probably aware that the moderate Liber-
ais, had a meeting of the party held on Thurs
day last, and made up their minds to vote the
Bill for seven years,-that is, for the duration
of this and the next Parliament. It is conf
IDENTIFY asserted that, notwithstanding all the ef-
forts made by the reactionists, His Majesty has
approved the reasoning Of his Premier, in
which case the State Council is sure to Weld.
If 50, the Emperor's wisdom has saved the
new Empire as we'll as made it.

A FEAST OF REAsoN,-"he lit
erary Alliance met at the College
on Friday night, ard the members
and privileged outsiders enjoyed a
perfect feast Of good things. The
Alliance meets once a mouth, we
believe, aid is composed Of the
Sigma Phi and Eroielphian Soci-
cites, which, for that occasion, are
blended into one S,cie'y, named as
above. liz the interval each Soci-
ETY. meets separately, each week, IN
its o VI hall, with its own officers.
The Alliance elects Chairman
each night Of meeting. On last
Friday evening, Miss Brown, mnsi-
cal instructor at the College, was
elected Chairman. Mrs. Sox de-
livered a very interesting declama-
ton, and Miss Mary Ilamoh read
q mastery essay. One Of the feat
ures OF the evening was the debate
on the question; III a mar plants
q me on seed on his own ground,
the seed germinates into a vine, the
vine crosses his neiglbors fence aid
bears a melon on the neighbor S
ground, whose melon is it?" W
III. Dodd affirmed that the melon
belonged TO the Marty planting the
seed, which Miss Clara Price de-
MED, and by close reasoning and
logical deduction, gained a decision
in favor Of the man upon whose
land the melon was found. These
monthly meetings are very pleasant
and profitable, and the liyeliest in
terest is manifested by the whole
membership.

STREET CAR SCENE.

On Wednesday, about 4:S0 O'Clock, the con-
ducter Of car No. 5, of the Avenue line of the
W. & G. Railroad Company, gave the passen-
gers Of his car q specimen Of his gallantry that
would carry him a very short distance as q re-
commentator for place. At the corner of
Pennsylvania avenue and Second street south
east, a lady, accompanied by two children, got
aboard. One was about three years old and
the other an infant in her arms. The conduc-
tor approached his passenger to collect the
fare, and she gave him five cents, evidently
thinking that would be as much as the COM
pany would require for the ride. This did not
satisfy the man, who said he wanted more, and
at the same time pointed to the elder of the
two children, and wanted to know If she was
not nine years old. His judgment Of age Gre
ated considerable laughter among the other
passengers and surprised the lady. He insist
ed that she must pay full fare for the little
one, or he should put her of, and reached for
the beIl-strap, as If intending to stop the car
The lady was considerably embarrassed at
being conspicuous in such a scene, and searched
her pocket for another five cents, TO satisfy the
uncouth conductor. Unfortunately, she could
only find three more cents which she offered as
payment for the child's passage, and he refused
to receive it. His unmanly conduct and rough
ness toward the female had by this time caused
her to weep and feel as If she was unprotected
from his insults. He again started 70 stop the
car preparatory to ejecting her, when police
officer in the car advised him that 1t might
not result well for him to pursue such course,
and gave him the paltry sum demanded as fare
for three-year-oid child-the same paid by
grown persons

rHE NEn DEPOT TOPPED OFT.

The brick and stone work Of the Baltimore
and Potomac railroad depot, corner of Sixth
and B streets, was finished yesterday, and the
event was celebrated by handsome collation.
at the saloon Of Mr.. Joseph Platz, on the
Avenue, near Sixth street, to the men who
were engaged on the work. The laying of the
foundation of this building was commenced in
August last by Mr.. Augustus Davis, contractor
for the brickwork, with Mr.. ]. j. Ragland as
foreman of bricklayers, and the work was
pushed forward with energy until completed
yesterday. The building, in point Of architec-
ture and finish, is one of the finest in the city,
and an ornament to the locality in which it is
situated. The stone used in building the struc-
ture was furnished by Mr.. Sam. Emery, and the
brick by Mr.. John E. Herrell. When the work
of the brieklsyers was declared complete an
American flag was hoisted on the tower of the
building. This flag is the same which covered
the remains Of our late lamented President
Abraham Lincoln while they were being con-
Veyed to Springfield, H., for burial.

EXCURSION OF THE PRESIDENT
MOUNTED dUARD.

The Presidents Mounted G1ard gave a
steamboat excursion yesterday down the Poto-
mac, which was one Of the most attractive and
agreeable of the season. The guests were re-
ceived on board the steamer Express, at the
slxth-street wharf, at 1890 q. m, by the COM
mittee of arrangements, consisting Of Captain
Sunny, Lieutenant Joseph Platz, Sergeants
L. W. EmmeTt and EntWisle, and Private z.
H. Whitmore, and transported to Marshall
hall The excursion down the river was very
pleasant, and upon the arrival of the steamer
the passengers were landed and the vessel re-
turned to the city for another load, leaving on
the second trip at 4;S0 p. m. The eXcursionists
passed pleasant day picnicing in the shady
groves and joining in the dance in the pavilion.
The sports and pleasures were continued
until 9 O'Clock in the evening, when the whole
company re-embarked and returned to their
homes. The arrangements were perfect, and
nothing occurred to mar the pleasures of the
trip, although the company was very numer-
Gus and the passage up the river was breezy.
The Express reached her wharf Just before
midnight, and, as the party separated, 1t was
agreed that such excursions by the Presidents
guard could not be given too frequently during
the continuance OF the heated term. The
courtesy and attention shown by the members
of the corps to their guests during the day was
the theme Of general remark and approval.
The music, which was excellent, was furnished
by the Marine band.
