AVeto Of the Tax BIlI Expected.

" v0IC OF Iuo ! OIL GXp0Ck0Qs
Governor Chamberlain left for Massa.
chusetts last evening, whittier he goes to
attend thS oeHEennial ANNIVERSARY Of the
battle II Lexington. His mgasements
have psevented his statsmeni In writing
of ths objections he entertains othe tax
bill; but he u open in saying That he
cannot approve it. Regrctting very
much if any inconvenience should
thereby result to parties, he win, IN n
short while, as we understand, give "a
the public his reasons for Withholding
his assent to the bill. By-the-way, we
don't think there can be much incon-
SeHience from it to any ono. A proper
tax bill can very easily be passed early
in the next session. There need be but
little delay in the collections from delay
in fixing what the tax shall be. This
last is a matter of vital consequence to
the people. It ought to be considered
With efsry care. What is necessary and
proper they are willing to pay; but they
demand, and have a right to demand,
that it shall be no higher than that. We
have already, however, sufficiently indi-
Gated reasons why the present bill should
come to grief. A veto applied to it
brings mp the whole question Of taxation
for discussion and consideration by the
country and for determination by the
General Assembly, at the next session,
under circumstances favorable to a
satisfactory result If We have really
entered upon reform. 1t viii appear dis

lhtghly immornl, and counselcd the eity

were duly licensed, they attracted a stag
crowd, they performed, and then de-
parted. AS we predicted, the exhibition
WIS unsatisfactory. Those VINO were at
tracted with the expectation of seeing
something, departed disappointed.
Nevertheless. the intention on the part
of the troupe to satisfy the audience was
indicated by the tentalizing manner in
which "the females manipulated their
scanty apparel. In face OF these facts,

and those who were absent. And now
comes two entertainments in one evening

Some time ago, says the Humboldt

Hays, borrowed IN hundred dollars
under false %pretenses of Jas. Huber,
n of the ptoprictors of the Capital

about 7 O'Clock in Gus. Krinkle's Sa

that he he had loaned him. Hays re-
piled with some insulting epithet,

Hays drew a six-shoOter and com

The MEETING OF CONGRESS.

The meeting of the Forty-fourth
Congress should have occurred yester-
day, though the telegraph does not fur
nish q word about the organization. 1t
Is fair to presume, however, that the
meeting did take place as provided by
law, and that Mr.. Kerr was duly in
stalled IS Speaker, he having been
chosen by the Democratic u lei last
Saturday. The Democrats have a fair
working majority in the House of Rep
resentatives, there being liz Demo-
cratic members, IA Republicans and
five Independents. The Senate is
largely Republican. This is the first
time since 1860 that the Democrats
have had q majority in either branch OF
the National Legislature. 1t is hardly
to be expected that much of a strong
partisan nature will be proposed in
either House, except that it be In the
way Of buncombe, n body operating
Is q check upon tho other. Therefore,
measures to get through must be ofthe
conservative order and such as will
meet the appreciation Of the whole
country. Partisan legislation being en-
tirely out of the question, we may
reasonably hope that whatever is ac-
complished will redo und to the best
interests of the whole people.
