the veto of the bounty Bill.

The following Is the full text of the
Presidents message vetoing the bill for
the equalization of soldiers bounties,
which was prepared during the closing
moments of the late, session of the For
ty-third Congress, but which failed for
want of time to reach the House OF
Representatives:
To the House of representatives.;
House bill No. 3341 is herewith re-
turned without my approval, for the
reasons, first, that it appropriates from
the Treasury large sum of money at
a time when the revenueis insufficient
for current wants and this proposed
further drain on the Treasury. The is
sue of bonds issued by this bill, to q
very large and indefinite amount,
would seriously embarrass the refund
ing operations now progressing, where
by the interest of the bonded debt is
being largely reduced Second, / dc
not Believe that any considerable por.
ttfon of the ex-soldiers, who it is sup.
posed will be the .beneficiaries of this
appropriation, areapplicantsf for it, but
rather it would result.more in meas
ure for the relief of claim: agents Ol

by it. The passage of this bill at thi.
time is inconsistent with the means o

FOR GOVERNOR.

A correspondent to the Ohio State
Journal in writing Of the -next'Gover-
norship has the following in reference
to gentleman we'll and favorably
known in this county:
Ohio is full of good men to fill public
and responsible positions. Several such
khave already been spoken of in connec-
ton with the office of Governor, among
whom we have been pleased to hear
DR.. J. T. Updegraff, of Jefferson coun-
lty, late State Senator from the T TRenty-
second District, mentioned. Mr.. Up
Idegraff; as a fine speaker, and gentle
man of energy and ability, whether in
professional or political life, enjoys a
wide and merited reputation. During
the several past State campaigns, his
speeches in the various counties and
localities to which he had been assign
ed by the Central committee, not only
reflected great credit on his talent and
research, but were of immense advant.
age to the party. AS State Senator he
left a record which might we'll be en-.
Wed by any one. Time and again his
executive ability has been tested and
favorably adjudged. With DIR. Upde
graft at: the head of the Republican
ticket, the party would have gallant
and efficient standard bearer, and one
around which would rally the best meI
in Ohio.

Bellaire and Southwestern Rail-
rOad-A Large Meeting at
JacObsburgh.

On Saturday large meeting was
held at Jacobsburgh, in the interest of
this new railroad. Mr.. A. C. Ramage
was chairman of the meeting, and T.
A. Welsh, Secretary. Col. J. H. Sui
livan of Bellaire, spoke at some length
explaining the merits of the narrow
gauge railway, and showed by statistics
what the building of the G. o. r. R.
had done for Belmont county i'm the
way of increasing the value of her real
estate to the amount of So, ,426, 900. Mr.
Hogue followed him, showing the ad-
vantages of the road in case they
should succeed in getting it through,
and why they should push the matter
while iron and labor are cheap. He
also furnished some reports which were
favorable to the narrow gauge railways
showing that the cost of operating
the narrow gauge was much less than
the broad gauge, while the expense OF
building the former was only about
one-fourth of what it took to build the
latter. Mr.. w. Armstrong made few
remarks in favor of building the road.
Several Others spoke favorable to the
enterprise.
Resolutions were then passed ex-
pressing the opinion of the meeting as
to the importance of the road to their
interests. and that they will lend their
efforts for its construction-after which
the meeting adjourned.
