EThe State Temperance Con-
vention met at Cincinnati on Wednes-
day, of last week, and was in ses.
sion two days. The Convention was
a grand affair. There were over
five hundred delegates present on
the first day, representing one hun
dred and twenty five towns and vii
lagos. Mrs. Manly, of Akron, was
elected President, and one Vice
President was appointed from each
Congressional District, Mrs. Pee
bles, of Portsmouth, representing the
Eleventh. One of our delegates,
Mrs. J. S. WILSON, was a member of
the Committee on Memorial. Mo-
ther Stewart was Iresent with the
Convention, and addressed the body.
On the grand parade there were four
hundred and sixty in the line, and it
took twenty minutes for them to pass
q certain point. Several attempts
we're made to belittle and deride
their efforts by those in the whiskey
interest. During the deliberations q
Presbyterian lady remarked that she
wanted the tax increased on the
liquors. To this the Times says:
"a lady from Gsllipolis remarked
that she represented League of 250
members, and they wanted no COM
promise on this question" Much
talk was indulged in; committees
waited upon the Constitutional Con
vention, and adjourned sine die.

A veto-No More Greenbacks

A Veto-No More Greenbacks.
Congress, in obedience to the de-
mands Of the people. and as sup
port to the great industrial interests
of the country. passed bill increas-
ing. to limited extent, the currency
circulstion of the country. The in
crease Of greenbscks over present
circulation was about s1s.OOO,Uoo'
and the increase of National bank
currency, distributed to the Yves.
and South, was 100000. The bill
received five msjority in the Senate,
and. in the House, a body direct from
the people, it passed by a vote Of
more than two and q half to one.
This bill, thus supported by the Rep
resentatives of the people, and by
both political parties from the West
and South, where the needs of this
additional currency are most felt, has
received the veto of President
GRANT.
We were in hopes the President
would have signed the bill. Not so
much because it increased the circu-
lation, although we believe moder
ate increase would have been of
great value to the bushes interests
of the country. but more for the rea-
son that it would have quieted finan-
cial matters. The country has been
waiting impatiently for some plan OF
settlement; business interests were
paralyzed for the want Of it; and
now, just as uncertainty was giving
place to hope, the President, by his
veto, places the country at sea again
We are not one step further sd
yanced in the direction of settlement
than when Congress met. We are,
indeed, in worse condition, for there
is a desd lock, the result of a disa-
greement between the President and
Congress.
This action of the President has
been productive of much excitement
in the country, and the commenda-
tions or censures are not governed
by political lines. but come wholly
from financial st, i-point. Some
there are who think this action will
disrupt both the present political
parties, and call into being in their
place new organizations, with con-
traction and imitation as their dis
tinctive platforms. But such specu-
lations are too early. We must
await the action of Congress upon
the veto. This will occur this week.
1t may be that some plan Of settle
ment of this perplexing financial
question may be reached which will
be satisfactory to both the President
and Congress, and thus bring peace
and harmony to the diseordant ele-
ments. For the sake of the coun-
try, and its great industrial interests,
we hope this solution will be reached.
