Presidents Veta.

We publish the full text OF the President 5
veto Of the currency BILL While from our stand
point, we have heretofore favored an increase
OF the currency as one of the means to revive
and stimulate enterprise in the South, and es-
pecially in Virginia, it is well, probably, that
the effects upon the credit of the government
incident to an apparent disregard of its pledges
to resume specie payment at the earliest prac-
teal period, should be considered paramount.
Especially so, when the bill enacted, according
to high authority, would have the tendency to
contract the currency instead of increasing, by
reason Of the large reserve required to be kept
by the banks.
The President, however. cannot consider so-
lated localities. lie must not only sweep over at
aglance, the entire country, but study over re :
ation to foreign governments and the effect any
financial measure viii have upon the credit of
the government at home and abroad Deeply
willingly ilterpose any obstruction to tie EN-
actnlent OF a law that had for its object their
permanent good. He desires to establish per-
inanent and substa.ltsi5s bis OF credit and b,1s
ilass-something around which tho confidence
of the people may crystalize and securely re-
pose, to the end that theybnay be healthy and
normal, and not subject to fluctuations and con-
sequent disasters.
The nnctious hope the veto has Inspired In
Democratic hearts that it will canse a dissolu-
ton of the Republican party, will prove evan
escent. That organization is not so loosely put
together or composed of such incongrous eley
Inants, that il cannot withstand much severor
shocks than this The President has simply
adhered to the oft-repeated pledges OF the par
ty. Heis simply carrying out its declared pol
icy, a.id the result will show that instead OF
weakening he haz iiaanahas urah!y straightforward,
and caisanefltled: himself and the party he

Convention of valley Counties.


The suggestion we made through the VIR-
GILMAN several weeks ago, that d convention
Of Valley counties: be held on the 4th OF July,
either in Lexington or Fincastle, has met with
an affirmative response from the papers pub
lsl1ed at the above named places, each indica-
ting a preference for its town. Concurrence
in the propriety of the movement is very gener-
al with the people. The necessity for q formal
declaration Of the sentiments of the great Val
ley of Virginia in respect to matters deeply
concerning the future prosperity of this section,
is felt, and Intelligent gentlemen from various
adjoining counties, as well as from this, have
expressed the opinion that it is essential for the
proper understanding of the views OF our peo-
pie that such convention be held. Those who
ton as the place, because they think that it is
more central and accessible. OF course, if we
hal consulted our Individual feeling Oh the sub
ject, we would nave suggested Staunton in the
first instance. But it is not With us so mich
the place, as the Convention. We don't care
where it is held. whether at Fincas.le, Licking
ton, Salem, Staullton OF Harrisonburg. Let
others settle that question. What we want is
a free consultation among Intelligent represent
atives from each Of the Valley counties, and a
calm presentation of the wants and wishes of
the people. AS We have before said, such action
could not be misunderstood. The object could
be made so plain that misunderstanding would
not be allowable. With a firm, clear and I'M
imprisoned declaration Of what we believe to
be just and right those who have assaulted us
and wronged lis, would know how to act in the
future. The time for trihing and b,incombe
has passed. We want and must have an TIM

heard OF forty-fEe bushels Of
wheat having been harvested from

Of corn would not be a more vaIu-

would bring nearly one hundred
