ROLLING THE GRoUND,-A correspond
ent of the Germantown Telegraph writes:
'On dry or wet ground the effect Of the
roller is found to be salutary. Plowed
and prepared for sowing, dry land is
much helped by the roller. The blades
of grass spring up sooner and retain
frmer hold in the earth. In season
of drought, rolling has saved the crop,
when without it the seed would have
never sprung from the ground. In wet
and heavy ground it is believed the roll

GOVERNOR DIX ON THE PRESI.
DENTS VETO.

ALBANY. April "a, 1874
Governor DIX. in conversation with your cor
respondent this morning, said, In regard to the
Presidents veto OF the Imitation bill :-I exceed
ingly rejoiced at the action OF President Grant He
has done his duty nobly. He might have signed
the bill, and said he was acting In obedience to
the voice OF the people AZ expressed BY q ma
jority OF its representatives in Congress; but in
the course he adopted he raised himself to the
summit OF statesmanship BY disregarding clamor
on all sides and consulting only the best interests
Of the country az whole. His veto 10 not Tor the
North nor the East, but for the entire nation. 1t
viii take little time to have the wisdom OF hts
action universally admitted. Presidents Grant had
sufficient dtacornment to that the for inna-
tion was but an ephemeral craving for refief from
financial pressure that no amount Of expansion
In the currency could meet. 1t is complaint de-
handing another remedy than tnnatiOn. The
business people OF the West and Southwest win
endorse the Presidents veto. Imitation would
have produced results disastrous to the masses OF
the people. The working man would be tho nrst
to suner. While wages would retain their present
level the necessaries OF life would necessarily ad-
vance In this view OF the matter IL 10 only right
that President Grant should receive the thanks OF
the people for having the courage and wisdom to
act according 70 the dictates OF calm common
sense and honesty. The HERALD has very fully
and ably argued the whole issue OF innation."
