HOW THE VETO W A. PREPARED

1t is understood in Washington that
President Hayes wrote the veto message
himself. and that it was not submitted TO
the Cabinet until after 1t was sent to the
House of Representatives. A Washington
dispatch on this subject says:
Although the veto was never discussed or
referred to in any Cabinet meeting, the
President consulted each member Of the
Cabinet siogly as to his views on the sub
Jet. Without giving his own views re-
Yarding the matter, the President asked
his Secretaries what each thought should
be done. Then after he had obtained the
views Of Cabinet officer, the President
would remark that he had carefully con
sidered the matter in all its details, and
had about decided on what his message
should be. Strange TO say, all the MEM
bers of the Cabinet conceded in their
views with the President. This is fact
which may be asserted upon the highest au-
thority, and it puts to flight the idle rumors
that there WAS difference of opinion in
the Cabinet on the expediency OF the veto.
The President was in doubt as to whether
he should return the Army bill with his
veto At once, or allow a few days to elspse
1t was upon this point that he especially
consulted the members of the Cabinet.
They, to a man, advised prompt action,
upon the theory that the extra session of
Congress was called for the purpose of con-
sidering the Army and Legislative Appro-
priation bills, and that as on account of
obnoxious "riders" to each, they were both
TO be vetoed, it was advisable 10 let the
House know At the earlist moment the atti-
tude of the Executive, and to allow the
Democrats the fullest and quickest time
possible to reconsider their policy and
make the necessary appropriations for the
support of the Government.

Tame Grasses.


Secretary Gray has correspondents il
every county, and he has made a tabl,
showing the progress Of the tame grasses il
each county.
Douglas county makes an excellent show
ing. The correspondents, by the way, arr
three in this county, viz: n. o. Stevens, Of
Lawrence; II. NJ. Greene. of Lecompton
and Vim. Roe, of Vinlsnd-sll we'll in,
formed and truthful gentlemen.
One Of these gentlemen writes to Mr.
Gray in regard to blue grass as follows
Formerly it wss difficult to get it st ,rted
but for the last few years it seems disposed
to root out every other variety, if given
half a chance. In five years time the fierce
corners will be completely set ii the work
goes on as it has for two years past.
| consider that for fenced pasture blue
grass stands toward prairie grass as five to
one"
And again: "This grass seems to be
steadily finding its way into all prairie and
woodland pastures, and Of course is very
valuable as pa-rurage"
Once more blue grass here il az sue
cessiul az in Illinois, and one acre OF blue
grass pasture is equal to two and one half
acres Of prairie"
Acres Of blue grass in Douglas county in
lS7S-S73.
We notice that our city parks are now
beautifully set in Timothy, and Secretary
Gray has good word from our county on
the Timothy question. He says that from
all reports he concludes that Timothy sue
ceeds as we'll in Douglas county as in Hi
nois, and that one acre Of Timothy is worth
double the same amount OF prairie grass
for all purposes.
Timothy meadow in Douglas county in
1873, 3G4i acres. Timothy pasture 292
acres Which places old Douglas a. the
head Of the list as far as tame grasses are
concerned.
But besides Blue grass and Timothy,
Red clover makes good showing for itself
Judge Thacher thinks it ought to be mixed
with Timothy, and should not be pas,ured
too early in the spring. Clover meadow in
Douglas, 1873. $50 acres; clover pasture,
1876 acres,

Premiums ut Fairs.
r(snr SNbIraoa Trthnna \

Probably a majority of the officers o
county fairs have already had under con.
sideration the annual premium list Al q
rule our county fairs run too much to bis
premiums for fast torses and b. I'd. OF far
cattle, and do not pay attention enough to
breeding stock, agricul ural products, and
other things that really are deserving o.
encouragement. Many fairs offer over two
thousand dollars in premiums, over half Of
which il devoted to pay for races. which,
IN the end, are demoralizing, and lead tc
betting and gambling. If it is necessary Ia
have races in order to have a good fair
make the purses reasonable, and not to the
exclusion OF all else. Home breeders OF
cate ought also 70 be encouraged, and the
offer OF large herd premiums to draw
SHOW stock" and carry the money out of
the county, is the poorest way to do it. Lo-
cal breeders do not take the pains with
their stock that those breeders do who make
a business of showing at sll:the fairs where
there are $500 or $500 to be carried of in
priZss. Most fair associations also neglect
To pay decent premiums on grain, aud s
nall dozen sacks and 4 few baskets of corn
usually make up the display in that de-
psrtmeut. We believe in encouraging the
production of fine grain, fine vegetable
and fruits, and let the horse rncing tax,

Three. and-a-HaIr Per Cent Bonds,

The government has in four months sold
over 500, 0OO,O 900 Of per cents, and for the
1874 100000 last offered to meet the ten
forties recently called, the competition vas
something quite unprecedented in the his
tory of the government Messrs. Fisk 4
Hatch estimate that not less than 500, OOO,-
900 CT the ive-twenties called in are still in
the hands of investors and institutions, and
must seek reinvestment within the next 90
days. At the same time they express the
opinion that the amount of capital OF the
kind which avoids ordinary business risk.,
and seeks rather safety than high returns,
is rapidly increasing in the United States,
and that this amount ia being steadily in
creased BY the savings Of the mares of the
people. 1t is not singular, therefore, that
the per cents are eagerly sought for.

Two Wen Drowned.

lPleasanton, tLinn Co.. Observer, 81
We make room this morning to record a
cad case of drowning which occurred nesr
Nevada, Mo, yesterday, wherein Geo. W
Holt and son, of Paris tip this county, were
undoubtedly the victims. A dispatch was
received by Postmaster Harris last night
from Nevada stating that two men, one
aged 30 and another aged 20, travelling in q
spring wagon, vending Hollis honey ex-
tractor, were drowned while attempting to
ford the Marmaton, swift, treicherous
stream, made full by recent rams. The
bodies had not been recovered when the
dispatch was sent. There can be no doubt
but that the victims were the parties we
have named, a. they left Pleasanton last
Monday in aspiring wagon for Missouri, ia
tent on selling Holt- invention for the ex
traction OF honey. Mr. Holt was about 60
years Of age, and his son George about %

Replan,ing.-There is always more or

OF loss by cut worms, crows, and weak

The vacancies in the field may be filled
from this bed by transplanting on rainy
day, or when the ground is wet after a
warm rain. 1t is not generally known that
corn may be successfully ,rsnsplanted.
Fodder Crops.-After the April-sown
fodder crops, will come the earlv kind of
sweet corn to be cut in June and July, after
clover has been fed of, as change, or to
follovearly sown oats. During May, win.
ter rye will be cut and fed, and meanwhile
portion of the clover should be pushed
ahead to follow the rye. Some early varie-

DAVID DAVIS.

Alter careful survey of the political
field, the Washington correspondent of s
Boston paper gives it as his conclusion thai
everything seems now to be working in
favor Of Uncle David Davis, of Illinois
Tsking this for a text, the Chicago
Times which is = very enthusiastic ID. ID
organ, sayf: 1t is generally admitted tina;
Tilden cannot carry single Northern
State, and that if he j. not nominated he
will not allow Democratic candidate to
carry New York. Hence the necessity for
a candidate who can carry Western States
enough to balance the vote Of New York.
The antagonism of the Hendricks and
Thurman factions renders the nomination
of either of them an experiment too hsz-
ardous 10 be tried. The party is thus re
duced to the alternative OF nominating a
candidate with the certainty of defeat, or
of nominating Judge Davis with tie GER

The kansas Militia.


Adjutant General Noble returned yester-
day from the South ard West, where, under
the directions of the Governor, he has es-
tablished the Patrol Guard. Reports
everything qniet, and no indications Of any
outbreak. Personal supervision was given
the posting of this patrol, and in the selec-
ton of a large number of the men compos-
log the command. This patrol is composed
of first-clsss citizens, and will make the
very best scouts obtainable. 1t is the in
teniion Of the Governor to establish another
post, either in Clark or Meade county, and
to that end Adjutant General Noble will
visit that section the coming week.
This action on the part of the Executive
is rapidly restoring confidence to settlers,
and will be the cause of populating the
Southwest rapidly and inducing immigra-
tion. On the whole, the military of the
State is assuming . shape and form Of
which Kansas may be proud, and We un-
derstand from the Adjutsnt General that
his every sffort will be given to make .
complete and lasting military organization
throughout the State.

The Leavenworth ZINES Of yesterday
morning says: "The refugees who came
here from Wysndotte short time ago have
all secured work and are proving them

The TINES or the Mayor of Lsavenworth
must be lying. The Mayor Of that city
teiegraphed the Mayor Of Atchison yester'
day that there were three hundred refugees
at Leavenworth, and wanted to know
whether theycould be provided for in Atchi'

Neither THE TIMES nor the Mayor Of
Leavenworth has stated an untruth in this
matter. The refugees who came here from

The others who came from ST. Louis art
still here, provided for temporarily il
church buildings, or in the houses of oul
colored citizens. Lesvenworth is perfectly
willing to do more than her full share il
