FEE EsrG7ur OF PETITION

If we understand the working of our in
| situations, and we have the vanity to be-
lieve that we have some inklng thereof,
there are two ways in which the people
can make their sentiments known to the
powers that he. Although the people are
sovereign and the source of all power, yet
they must act through representatives, and
to these representatives it is often neces-
sary to declare the will of the people. This
can, as we have said, be accomplished in
two ways-through the ballot box and by
petition. So far as Congress is concerned,
it can be reached, through the ballot box.
but once in two or six years, while the ex-
ecutiye is unaffected thereby save indi-
rectly, only every four years. Hence the
Importance and the sacredness of the right
OF petition. One of our complaints against
George III was that he did not treat the
petition of the colOnists with res oect. Our
state and national constitutions secure to
the people the right to peacefully assem-
bic and petition for redress of grievances.
right of petition shall never he abridged or
denied. John Quincy Adams contendcd,
and we think he was right, that Congress
was bound to respectfully receive "peti-
ton asking for dissolution of the Union,
because it could do no harm, while its re-
lection would be both denial and abridg-
ment of the right of petition. Petitions
may ne in different forms. They may take
the form of a written statement with the
signatures of individuals attached, they
may be embodied in resolutions passed by
a public meeting, or delegation of citi-
Zens may present their views. While a
particular measure is pending before Con-
gross, or either branch thereof these petit
tons would naturally be presented there
and they have always received respectful
consideration both in the Senate and House.
no matter to what they might relate, since
John Quincy Adams won his notable vic
tory in the cause of freedom, for tine con-
stitution and the right of petition. After a
measure has passed their ken, and is in the
hands OF the President for signature or
veto, then these petitions must be present
ed to him. When so presented, petition
no matter what its form, is entitled to
respectful consideration and the individu-
ais having it in charge, to be treated as
American citizens, as freemen and gentle
men. We have said thus much on account
of the alleged treatment of William Gray
and other gentlemen by the President and
because certain newspapers pretend to up
hold such conduct and, thereby, to sneer
at the right of petition. We seem to be
old landmarks, but unless we speedily re-
turn thereto, who can predict where we
shall land.

in Caledonia county, the other evening.
The sale of an old school house was in ques-

Julcyine being intent on "Tuck's" not get

Ing, and after that was over an exciting
conversation took place between John 5
Drcnan and Hon. y + ,Judevine, in which
the bridge question came up as well as the
school house matter. Getting heated up,
Judevine told Drcnan he lied, which Ian
guage the latter suggested had better not be
repeated. Nothing daunted, Judevine re-
iterated the OpprObrious epithct, whereupon
Drenan struck him, partially knocking him
down. Getting up, Judevine again uttered
the Objectionable words, with an emphatic
prefix, when Drenan gave him another
blow, laying him ont stiff this time. Now
Mr.. Judevine seeks redress by way of a
suit for damages, and has attached all of
Drenan's property. The affair has created
a vast deal of excitement in all that region,
and has been the one topic of discussion
ever since its occurrence.

The choir of the Methodist church, of

amid all this, her cheerful submission TO

of her absent father these mingled with

In commenting on the position of the
''Smith Sisters and at the same time in
dulging In some personal "reminiscences,
just two weeks ago this morning, we said
abby says theirs is the largest property
in town." and for this we are taken to ado
in a letter from "Abby ii. Smith and sister. "
For some reason, although the letter is da-
ted april 10Th" it has but just reached
our hands, and this must be our apology
for our seeming neglect Our fault is this f:
The speech of "Abby' contained these
words, instead of those repeated by us,
that they" that is the sisters, "were pay
ing more in money, as appears by the
collectors books, than any of the other
of the towns three thousand inhabitants
were paying" From this we drew a
very natural inference. Our correspond

article referred to, that we did not profess
to give her exact language, only the sub
stance thereof. Where we did use her ex-
act expressions, we used quotation marks,

general statement. We know that in Ver-

that the action brought by the attorney.

the instance of one or two of the leading
men of the ogdensburg and Lake Cham

by a coup de mdi2, to wrcst the road from

THE Fun OE rs.

As our readers are already informed, the
President has vetoed the currency bill as
passed by the two Houses OF Congress.
The full text of the veto message appeared
in Thursdays GLOBE. and we do not think
that it calls tor any particular comment on
our part Whether the bill would so result
or not, it was intended as a measure of in
ilaton, and as such was considered and
negatived by the President. We have
been, from the outset, outspoken against
the bill, and days ago stated that our hope
of relief was in the President alone. We
desire to call attention, for the fun of the
thing, to one passage in the message, it
being so in accord and almost coincdent
with our language used on many occasions
when speaking of this matter. He says
The theory, in my belief, is a departure
from the true principles of finance,
from the national interest, the nations
obligations to its creditors, the congress
sional promises, party pledges on the
part of both political parties, and of the
personal views and promises made by me
in every annual message sent to Congress
and in each inaugural address, We
have repeatedly urged these views; first
upon Congress, arguing therefrom that
they could not honorably pass this bill
and then upon the President that, for the
same reasons, he was bound to
veto the bill. He has vetoed it, and
is entitled to the thanks of CRATE
full country therefor, But we do not in
tend to comment on the message, because
in 80 dung we could only reiterate our for
mer utterances. But mark the difference
of few days, of one mans acts, and be-
hold how great matter a little fire-we
were near spelling it " o-f-f-i-c-e"-kin
dleth. 1t was uncertain, it will be remem-
bered, how the matter would terminate,
and, therefore, an attempt was made by Il
certain newspaper which shall he name
less. to read US out of the party. The fun
OF it. this time, was that we were in eX-
cellent company, namely the whole repub-
lican delegation from New England in Con-
gress, save only Ben Butler. Time passed
on, the bill passed Congress, and passed to
the President. Delegations from New
York and Boston. composed of some of the
best men of the country, called upon the
President to urge the veto of the bill. To
put it mildly, they were ''snubbed." Where
upon, only two or three days ago, this same
nameless sheet .tacored Northumberland
it looked as if the bill would he endorsed
by General Grant-and thought Ben But

The fixing, grading and repairing o

The fixing, grading and repairing OF
streets, highways and sidewalks has
always been fruitful source Of fraud,
corruption and ovcrchargc. 1t will be re-
membered that even, the village of Rut-
land felt impelled to provide, by ordinance,
that no trustee, or the cmploye or relative
of trustee, should be a commissioner OF
streets, etc. 1t was not believed, perhaps,
that there had been any actual fraud, but
there was n general feeling that leetle y
too much money found its way into the
commissioners pocket. Washington, how
ever. caps the climax. BY a system of
over-measuremcnt, or of guessing at meas
urements, as appears from testimony be-
fore the committee of investigation, con-
tractors have received from fifty to one
hundred and fifty per cent more than they
were entitled to- In one case it is even
worse than this. An actual measurement
shows work to the amount of forty-three
thousand yards, while the contractors
charged and received pay for ono hundred
and forty-eight thousand yards. This, of
course, was simply addition, division and
silence" but the "silence' part is now
being taken off.

We have rarely known the time for the
election of new Governor to be so near,
with such lack of concentration of pub
lie opinion in the republican party of our
state on any one individual, for the place.

The Morrisville citizen and Newport En-
