MAYOR HOTELL,S VETO. .
What he Snys Of the Acts Of the Thirteen
brooklyn Aldermen on March IL.

The sickness Of Alderman Shannon pre-
vented the weekly show in the Brooklyn Alder
mems room yesterday. Tho message of Mayor
Howell vetoing all 1.-THE resolutions passed by
the thirteen Aldermen who met on March IL,
when the appointments of March We're re-
considered and new persons were appointed.
WIS received. eThe Mayor refers TO having
previously approved the resolution of March 4.
and says that he remained Of the opinion that
the Meeting Of March II was regularly adj
Journed. He decides to veto the action OF the
Aldermen who chose 10 remain in the chamber
on March IL. in spite Of the theory that he
should not notice their proceedings. The
reasons for his veto are that the resolutions
were not passed ut regular meeting OF the
Common COnncil. that they sought 10 make ap-
pointments thHt he did not approve. and To
create offices that were not necessary to the SER
vice. and that their adoption or approval would
tend to a costly and perplexing litigation, 10 the
drtr,ment and confusion Of business, which its
app0inteos would seek T. conWol. and also to
pcrpetuatn a dscordHnt controversy preIudicial
to the efficiency and good name OF the Common
Council
Alderman O'Reiy moved thatthe message be
referrcd 10 n committee composed OF Aldermen
Aiken, Orinsbee, Baird. Duane. and Ray to
consider the same. in conjunction with the Cor
poratiOn Counsel. provided that he had not heen
previously consulted by the Mayor, in which
event the committee were to have power to en-
plOy counsel without expense to the city. Tho
resolution WIS adopted by n vote of 13 to g..
Aldermen Duane aud Fisher not voting.

SENATOR HOMES GREAT SPEECH

WASHINGTON, March 2j.-The speech OF

Senate. Howe Is not usually an attractive
speaker. and the audience did not expect
very exciting or diverting entertainment. but II

tedious and unintercsting extemporaneous
speaker. Senator Howe Is one Of the most Wig

and. barring little affcctaton was well read.

Of Democrats as well as Republican Senator's
The speech was made for Il purpose. II was
the result Of dciberation. and was intended to

Russia to Austria.

The news of to-day is that all or nearly
all the points of disagreement in the peace
negotiations have been overcome. Russia
mas compromised on the demand for the
iron-clads and on the boundaries Of Bull
garia. Some doubt may be entertained
of the report that the Russians are
to occupy Constantinople. Russia's views
rs to the necessity for those stipu-
lations OF the treaty of peace that
relate to the government of Bulgaria
seem to be clearly set forth in commune
cation lately. published in the Vienna
Political Correspondence, the outline of which
is given in our dispatches to-day. Occu-
patton for two years is defended on
the ground of the need of the presence of
force that can preserve order in n
country passing from under the hand Of a
repressive tyranny that has governed it for
many centuries, and whose people would
in all probability use a new found freedom
in extravagant ways before IL government Of
their own could become effective in its
operations. But the occupation may, it is
held, be prevented from assuming
the character Of conquest. The
designation of nearly all Bulga-
ria and Roumelia as single prov
ince under the name Of Bulgaria
is defended on the ground of simplicity in
administration. AS Moldavia and Walla-
CHA, classcd as separate principalities and
treated separately in the "Declaration OF
Four Points," soon became single State

The Pacification or Cuba.

Our Havana despatch reports the surren-
der Of different parties Of the insurgents in
Cuba-fo four hundred at one place and six
hundred at another, the appearance being
that these surrenders include the entire
bodies of those hitherto resisting the Span
ish authorities at the points named. This
activity in the Abandonment OF their hostile
attitude seems to indicate some alacrity on
the part of the insurgents to regain law
ful status and the tranquility Of q peaceful
life; al alacrity indeed that cannot be
considered as discredit to the courage and
tenacity of men who have maintained des-
perate struggle through SO many years. It.
would not be in accordance with what COM
monty occurs in events Of this nature for
the cessation Of resistance in the island to
be so complete rs to eradicate the evil OF
the presence of insurrectionary bands. No
doubt there are '.irreconcilables" who will
hold out for years to come and make life and
property unsafe at certain points, whose
belligerency will oscillate between that Of
the patriot and the highwayman. But the
result secured is enough to substantially
tranquillize the country, and is Il great
triumph for the Spanish administration.

regimental chaplain has been an officer as
difficult to properly place as marine on

such degree that the habitual
irreverence of so many of these young

to q much needed respect Mr.. Beecher

is much to be done in the way Of reform !;

Illicit Whiskey In the Blue Ridge
Mountains.

Since the war the manufacture of illicit
whskey has been carried on to very large
extent in different sections of the country,
generally in unfrequented places, and occa-
sionally in the most thickly populated por-
tions of even our larger cities. What is
known as the Blue Ridge range OF mountains
is, however, the seat of this peculiar indus
try, the wild character Of the country, its
remoteness from the great lines Of travel, its
inaccessibility, the sparseness as well as the
character of it's population affording COM
bination of favorable circumstances such as
perhaps cannot be found in any other part
of the Union. The Blue Ridge range ex-
tends through the Virginias, Kentucky, Ten
nessee. the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama
base in these different States the law-defy-
ing manufacturers of these mountain fast
nesses find ready market for their whis-
KEY, which has never seen the rod Of the
gauger or the stamp of the revenue official
In other columns we present graphic and
interesting description of these lawless
mountaineers their manner of life, haunts
and mode of doing business, together with
nm account Of the efforts made by the
government officers to bring them to
punishment. A moderate estimate places
the number of these mountain 'stills" at
about four thousand and the loss to the
Treasury in the way of revenue at nearly
two and one-half millions of dollars per an
nun. From these figures it will be seen
no means insignificant in whatever light it
is regarded. The difficulties in the way cf
it's suppression are very great, and if the
government means to put on end to it far
more energetic measures than the means
and methods now in operation must be
adopted.

General Grants Nile Journey.

Our correspondent who accompanies Cen
eral Grant in his Eastern tour furnishes us
another instalmenr OF the history of the trip.
Here we find that the steam yacht bear
ing the ex-President up the Nile had
moored before the capital of Upper
Egypt long enough to allow the Cen
eral to receive cordial welcome at
the hands OF Wasif el Hayat, our Consul at
that point We do not doubt that this Incl
dent of his journey touched the famous
soldier, for it was clear testimony with how
strong blast Fame had trumpeted his tri-
umphs since they were so distinctly
re-echoed in his ears, even there by
the hoary old Nile. The youngest
of the nations thus receiving tribute at
the cradle of civilization cradle that had
crumbled to pieces centuries before Christ
was born will surely be a pleasant reminis-
cence for our travellers. Then we have
Grant pushing over the sands to the
city that was the birthplace Of Menes,
and more famous still as the burial
place of Osiris, whom Egypt worshipped
as q god. AS the pleasant gossiping of
our correspondent is glided over many of

terrible days of the Wilderness with the
Grant of the lazy days of the desert, but

thought it would be futile to endeavor
to make two divisions OF the country
that is practically Bulgaria in virtue
of the fact that it is inhabited by
Bulgarians. Russia, it is pointed out in this
statement, would have no objection to the
occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by
Austria But Russia is not satisfied with
the demand made for six. million forms by
the. Austrian government-from which it ID
to be supposed that the Russians, unlike
the Hungarians, do not believe this money
