VETO.

President Grant Wednesday sent
to the Senate of the United States a
message vetoing the Financial bill
recently passed by Congress. The
President states that the theory of
the bill is departure from the true
principles of finance,and opposed to
all his utterances in official commu
nications to Congress on the sub
ject of an irredeemable paper cur
rency.

A TEMPERANCE ITEM.

In the last twenty seven years
24,602 convicts have been sent
to the penitentiary at Albany
Of these 21, ,057 have acknowledge
ed that previous to their convic
ton they were addicted to drunk
enness. 1t is more than proba-
BILE that the greater number of
these convicts would never have
been guilty of the crimes for
which they were sentenced had
they not been inebriates. When
we add to the penitentiary ex-
penses of these criminals the costs
of police officers, courts and jails
previous to their conviction, the
question arises whether it would
not be more economical to pro.
vide State asylums tor all pauper-
ism directly attributable to in
temperate drinking, and make
the asylums also places of retreat
and hospitals for all inebriates
who are willing to incarcerate
themselves and submit to neces-
sary rules and regulations for
their cure and reformation. The
work performed by the inmates
of such asylums could certainly
be made much more remunera-
tive than convict labor. There is
not doubt that were ample pro-
vision to be made for the safe
keeping of incurable inebriates
the expenditures of the public
treasury would be no greater than
the aggregate that is now paid
by the people in the form OF fees
to officers in every city, village
and town for the suppression of
disorders, misdemeanors and
crimes directly consequent on
drunkenness.-Neao York Sun.

THEFRANKING PRIVILEGE.

The fact that the report of the Post
master General shows large deficit has
been taken advantage of by certain men,
bers Of Cong ress to advocate renewal OF
the ranking privilege.
To one unskilled in the peculiar ideas
Of certain of these Washington states
men, the arguments advanced seem feeble,
ifnot entirely foolish:
The two main reasons given for repeal
of the act abolishing the privilege are,
frst-that when abolished, it was pre-
dicted that the revenues of the depart
ment would be so much increased, that
the difference between the receipts and
expcnditures would be made up; that
snch had not occurred; that consider
able deficiency still continued, and there
fore the privilege should be restored.
Second, That by its repeal, the people
of the country are kept cut of from the
government, 1. {. their representative
because there was not allowed free COM
munication between them.
Regarding the first argument. it is
hard to understand that if there is such a
great deficiency in the Post Office De-
partment, when Congressional Thanking
is not allowed, how, in the name Of conf
mon sense, this deficiency will be at ali
lessened, when it shall be again allowa-
Ne to food the mails with thousands OF

THE SUPPLEMENTARY CIVIL
RIGHTS BILL.

The House judiciary Committee have
agreed upon a supplementary Civil Rights
Bill. They take the Bill which passed
the Senate at last session as basis, and
in it they make very considerable sltera-
tions.
Provisions are made for separate burial
places, and separate schools for the races.
The violations of the law are made sub
iects for either civil or criminal prosecu-
tions, and it is further provided that it
that it shall not be considered violation,
fthe races are kept separate in public
conveyances and kindred places, provid-
ed that equally good accommodations are
furnished.
The inutility of passing any such bill
as this, as far as the colored race is con-
cerned, must be apparent to every one.
Already they have all educational facill-
ties afford ID them; no instance has ever
occurred where any objection has been
raised to their being buried in their own
cemeteries, and they are thoroughly pro-
tected in travelling, and have their rights
of locomotion unimpeded every where.
They can board in their boarding houses,
and sit in seats allotted to them in thea
tres.
Manifestly this bill will give them no
greater privileges than they now fully
enjoy. But there is one most objection
able feature attached, which we do not
see altered. 1t is the bestowal of cogniz-
ance of all real or pretended violations
of the act, upon the United States Courts,
This is the great object sought for by It's
advocates, for it is another move towards
Capitalization, and gives another prete1t
for governmental interference in the
domestic concerns of the States
This is far more mischievous than any
other provision of the original bill.

Regssdink thssecond, there is sregu-s
lar approx htid 4 made 10 each nshber
q, meet ~ NECESSARY postal esquire
ments. If this should prove to be inade-
quate, it would be easy to increase it, and
thus the people can be as readily placed
in intimate connection with their repre-
sentstives, as under any other circum-
stances.
We trust that the act OF repeal
will be allowed to stand, for not only are
these arguments alluded to very tiimsy,
but there are good and valid objections
to be found to meet them. Ofthese, one,
the most conspicuous, is, or should be,
conclusive.
Every member has dozen or two OF
intimate personal friends, who request
frequently the use of his frank for their
private purposes. 1t is almost impossible
to refuse, and in this way the department
is deprived of much lawful revenue. BY
the privilege not being given, this fraud
is obviated, and this alone, if there were
no others, should be sufficient reason to
prevent its renewal.
1t is further, well known fact that
Congressman themselves, abuse the pri-
vilege. 1t has even been intimated that
when they could transmit anything free
through the mails, they would ship
through, this medium, to their homes and
back, their soiled and cleansed linen,
and thus outwit both the government and
their laundress. But this is hardly worth
considering for, if any man is mean
enough to do so, the loss to the country
would, probably, be hardly appreciable
Still it shows how the privilege nigh,
be abused, and that its being renewed
would be gain to the members, and los;
to the tax payers.

RETRIBUTION.

Notwithstanding the fact that many
months have passed since the abduction
of the little Ross child; or, that it oc-
Cured in this busy country of ours,
where sensational events follow each
other in rapid succession, still the case
has never wholly been lost sight OF, nor
has all interest in it ever entirely died
out.
In fact, this last, could never take
place. Che stealing of this little child
appealed directly to the sympathy OF
every family in the country. When a
little bright boy, the darling of fond
parents, could be stolen from them in
broad day light, not mother anywhere,
who did not instinctively shudder as she
thought that such an event might posi-
bly, fill her soul, too, with grief far
more bitter than death itself. 1t is
needless to dwell upon the many in
cidents which have been connected with
the crime since its preparation. The
fruitleSs searches; the many false reports
ofsuccess; the hopes deferred; the cruel
charges against the father, causing him
TO engage in libel suit, in which he was
forced to drag his grief afresh before the
public to vindlcate his name; the subse-
quent reports of his reason yielding to
his mental anguish; all these are wei
worn, and well known to everybody.
But the matter has suddenly
acquired new interest from the confession
made by one of the burglars, who was shot
on Long Island a few days since, in
which, while dying, he confessed that
his accomplice, who was killed at the
same time, that he was MORALLY wound
cd, and himself were the abductors of
the boy. His story was subsequently
verified by both himself and accomplice
being idcatfed.
Whether or not this, the only certain
clue to the mystery will lead to the ulti-
mate recovery of the child, is matter Of
doubt; both these men being now dead,
and those who have custody of the little
captive, have had time to still further
conceal him; but there is one thing
settled; the perpetrators have met with
violent, sudden and deserved deaths.
They have been met by II retribution for
their crime, as decided as it is extraordi-
nary, and it must be source Of great
satisfaction to know that whether the
child is restored TO its parents or not,
they have suffered well merited punish
ment.

When the revelry was at its height
by the connivance of the jailor, whom
he had bribed, he liberated kinsei from

the roof of the fort, and descending TO
the ground by means of rope ladder
which had been provided. The sentinel
at the gate, true to his agreement passed
them without the wall, where their
friends we're in waiting. Fleet horses
were in readiness, and they set of lmme-
diately for Hamburg, which was the
nearest poit. Relays had been provided
along the route, and they reached their
destination without accident or adven-
turo. They lay concealed several days.
when, securing fishing schooner, they
embarked for Scotland. 1t was then the
month of November, and their voyage
was most perilous and painful. They
reached Edinburgh in the course OF time
and went ashore, weary, forlorn and
hungry, having hardly tasted food since
the night of their departure from the
prison. They then proceeded to London,
and for the two years following Schurz
was engaged, in London and in Paris,
as teacher, and as correspondent OF
the German press.
During this period an interesting cir
cumstance occurred which ought, in this
connection, to be related. When it be-
came known that Kinkel's deliverance
from prison had been effected through
the bravery and address of his faithful
friend, young Schurz became hero
throughout Western Europe, his fame
even reaching England. Men marvelled
at his prowess and madens painted him
in their fancies as fair knight-errant,
brave and handsome as ever was cele-
brated in ancient tournment They pic
tured him as another C@ur de Leon, or
called to mind the story of Damon and
Pythias. At this time 1861, there was
a maiden of sixteen in the city of Ham
burg whose parents were preparing tc
set out with the daughter to attend the
Great Worlds Exhibition in London
and the maiden's first thought when she
learned that she was going to LonGor
was that she might there see the young
hero, Carl Schurz. Her wish was realiz
! ed, and the sequel to this story is thai
that maid of Hamburg is the Senator
wife.
