Our neighbor of the Register,
week before last, ignorantly, perhaps,
made mistake when he said "that U.
S. Grant vetoed the Soldiers Bounty
bill, but signed the negro bill. He
gave as q reason for his veto that it
would take 800, 100000 to 5000, ,OOO,-
900 out of the treasury to pay the poor
soldier, and that a great portion Of
this amount would go into the pockets
of the bounty agents"
or course the editor had no inten-
tion of making false statement, or
deceiving his readers, for the purpose
of creating unjust enmity between the
soldiers and President Grant AS to
whether Grant vetoed the Bounty bill
or not, the editor may learn thing
or two by reading the following para
graph, which we quote from the La
Porte (Ind.) Chronicle, Hon. Jasper
Packard's paper. Mr.. Packard's term
in Congress expired on the 4th of the
present month:
We see that some of the neWspa-
pers are censuring the president be.
cause he did not sign the bill fo1
the equalization of soldiers bounties
This results from misunderstanding
of the subject. We presume he would
have signed it had it reached him in
proper form but it did not The bill
first passed the House. Then it tpasseC
the Senate with amendments, to which
the House disagreed, and asked for +,
conference committee. A conference
committee was ordered, and as sOo1
as they agreed a report was made tt
each house of Congress. The House
of Representatives promptly adopted
the report, but in the Senate it wa,
laid on the table, with view to fu
ture action; but unfortunately it wal
not again called up. The bill was du
ly enrolled and prepared for the Pres
ident's signature, under the positiv,
expectation that the Senate would
adopt the report of the conference
committee; but the last step not hav
ing been taken, the President could
not sign it. Why no action was haC
upon it in the Senate we are unable tc
say. 1t way probably an accidental
omission.
If Grant vetoed the bill, will the ed
itor of the Register please publish the
said veto2

John Hughes came here from Del
phos, Allen county, Ohio, and intro
duced himself to the authorities as on
the lookout for one J. E. Brown, who
had, he stated, forged a note upon him
for $3.50. Hughes had been deputized
as a special constable, and had the pa
pers to make the arrest himself if the
man was found. The officers got on
the track during the day friday and
at 4 o'clock, upon Information gained,
Huges took a double team and went
to South Charleston, finding his man
at place about five miles from town,
where he had hired out to work. Both
returned here, and the prisoner was
lodged in Jail until this morning, when
he was started back to Allen county

ST. LOUIS, March 21.-The tobacco
manufacturers of this city have pro-
tested against the recent ruling OF
Commissioner Douglas, that the addi-
tienal tax of four per cent. must date
from the Sd inst, and have forwarded
petition to that official asking him
to reconsider his ruling. They take
the ground that the bill imposing the
additional four per cent. tax did no
become law until after business hours
on the Sd inst; the revenue Officers
sold stamps under the old law all tina
day; that purchases of stamps wer
made, sales effected and contract
made under the old regulation; ant
therefore, the decision of the Cemmis
sioner is retractive and unjust.
