THE VETO.

Itis wholly without precedent in
our history. 1t is without warrant in
the spirit of the Constitutions, and the
spirit of the veto is in direct conflict
with the letter of the Constitution, and
is shamelessly hostile to the doctrine
of the Declal alton of Independence.
1t is inconsistent with itself. It is an
assertion of Executive. prerogatives
that are both groundless and perilous.
1t is a declaration that the President
may forbid Congress to appropriate
moneys for the maintenance of the
Government, if Congress at the same
time attempts to- direct the manner in
which and the purposes for which,
within the Constitution, those moneys
shall be expended. 1t is an attempt
to coerce or to defy Congress. The
President vetoes a regular Appropri-
alton Bill because it forbids the pres
ence of Federal bayonets at the polls,
and in the name of free suffrage! The
President will not allow the army to
be paid unless he or his can command
it for political or partisan purposes I;
and he vetOes a bill which the Repub-
licans in the last Congress offered to
pass, and he to sign. He files notice
upon the country that he will stop the
wheels of Government rather than
permit Democratic Congress to re-
peal odious Republican laws. He
seeks to establish the principle that the
President may withhold appropria-
,tions for the support of the govern
ment st his pleasure, unless he can
conduct the Government at the point
of the sword unless he can, in direct
reversion of the doctrine of the Dec
laration OF Independence and the Con-

We clip the following article from
the Marshall Gazette. Rev. Mr.. San

Presbyterian Church. known as sthe
Sleeping Preacher has made frequent
and surprising revelations of facts and
incidents, while in this peculiar state,
of which he could have had no previ-

comments, but refer-the reader to the
following item, which the Gazette
heads . 'Corncrsville Bonanza:'
"Cornersville has been on tiptoe

short account of the affair as we heard
it from a reliable citizen of that city.

rival Colleges are ruled out as not of

light of the Summit County bar, whom
for present purposes we shall desig-
nate Mr.. f. This gentleman is a
prominent member of the society, al
ways prompt in attendance, fluent in
praise of his fellows and their deeds.
His admiration talent, however, slops
over somewhat and extends to Eng
lish styles and customs, of which he
has seen little but heard much. A few
evenings since our subject was adver-
tised TO speak to the society on the
subject of 'The Legal Professions
When the he came to deliver his ad-
dress he advised his audience Of o
change of subject and said he would
compare different classes of lawyers,
which he proceeded to do. Taking
up the English lawyers he compared
them with American legal gentlemen,
and proceeded to make the latter sp-
pear exceedingly small. The English-
men, he said, were far our superiors,
in this profession. To make the COM
iparison strong he remarked that in the
great State OF Ohio there was to-day
only four real lawyers. Prof. S., who
is proud of his Yankee blood and was

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The sio.m nj ~. In, Ci.y.

A correspondent writing from Spring
City says: cat 10 o'clock on Sunday
night it commenced raining and con-
tinued, with strong breeze and some
lightning, to pour down until after
midnight, when it turned cold and
changed from rain to snow. Monday
morning there was two or three inches
of the beautiful on the ground, but as
the day advanced it became less frieid
and, though it continued to snow until
2 o'clock in the afternoon, the snow
melted about as fast as it fell. In the
afternoon the storm changed to rain
again, which continued - fall up to a
late boar. The husbandmen ought now
TO be satisfied, as the recent storms
previous to the 18th instant had thor
oughly soaked the ground, and no
failure can now possibly result from
drought.

well attended, seemed to be highly APP

quaint costume, and many of the pieces

quarrel between the music teacher and
a pupil relative to the number of be..sos

naturally that many lett the hall with
the impression that it was real instead
of being feigned.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Robbery.
From the Times ReyieG.

From the Times Review.
Upon motion of Acti > District At
torney Kingston, the case of the State
VS.. Joseph Noon, was dismissed yester-
day in the Justice Court. Defendant
was one of the paroles implicated in the
ringing in" of cold deck and box at
the faro game at the Idaho saloon lasS
Wednesday night. The charge, which
was petit lrceny, was based upon the
fact that the box belons ing to the game
was distracted whent the one contain
ing the frigid pack was substituted. A
majority of the jury at the trial held,
however, that the act was only an sex
change" which, accocdin to the time-
honoeed adage, is mo robbery" hence
they refused to convict. The decision
was TO the effect that the ii ep mrs.
protect himself in his jungle, and the
axiom will doubtless herce.ot.h be
quoted as an established principe of
law, by our legal luuiaaries.

What a Citizen has TO say About the
Agents Efforts 90 yet Indians There.
Il The articles to prolong the existence
ola. "branch home" of the effete institu-
tions heretofore prosperous in shaded
iniquity under the abused patronage of
Uncle Sam, are amusing as well as con-
temptible, as instanced in the present
movement of Agent Rinehart of the
Malheur Indian Reservation, and given
in the SILVER STATE of the 18th, and
upon other. occasions. just one Year
ago now, on the outbreak of.
the SO called Bannock war, he desert
ed his post, leaving the Indians under
his charge to their own resources, and
all public property, on, and around his
reservation, to the mercy of the winds.
He left, of course, because he was afraid,
and long before he could get hurt-wise
but unfaithful- Whether his pay has
gone on since, 1 cannot say, but, de-
cidedly, he has done no. duty, at least
not on his reservation, from which, he
was separated, many, many miles, till
all was quiet. Now he is back with a
staff of employees on the reservation.
but no Indians are there, and not one.
has been there for twelve long months.
He, the Agent, sees this will not "pan
out, even ON paper, and hence he goes,
securing the country from Malheur
Agency, Oregon, to Winnemucca, Ne
vada, over 200 miles, prospecting, not,
like the honest miner, foT gold, but for
its equivalent, like a typical Indian
Agent, in Piutes; the blind, manned ),
lame and lazy, anything to count. His
mission reminds one very much of the
professional runner for low class hotel
or boarding house. Such fellows as
this, and the devoted confederacy at
Washington, through whom he acts, I
guess, are enough, being Government
officials, to make "bronze statue" of
any illustrous name, from Washington
down, shed tears, or raise from among
the dead, the many voices OF manhood
and honesty, long lost in the grave. If,
in justice to themselves or others, these
Indians should go on the reservation,
why not place them there without any
more ado? but if from other interests,
their own and those of the public among
whom they live, they should not, be.
cause they serve better purpose as
now existing, why not, Agent Rinehart,
let them alone? As it is, I believe he
he has no more 30 do, in supervisory
sense, with Old Winnemueca and His
few followers, than /, or any other citi-
zen here. His job, ami the proverbial
perquisites, in such positions, are proba-
bly,, if not certainly, his incentive in
being SO very jealous in endeavoring to
re-inhabit, possably populate and resus-
itate forsaken Indian reservation.
The Indians dispise, dread and gener-
ally do not need his "home," but all
right if We pay5for it, and enough are
coaxed there tosoive semblance to the
outlay. OBSERVER.

Babylon.

It is usual for travellers to dwell upon
the utter desolation Of Babylon, and to
paint its site as strip of desert especially
woe-be-gone and unfertile But the elo-
quent gentlemen who dwells upon this
aspect of the place could not have seen it
in the middle of April. The date groves
and gardens along the banks of the Euph-
rates are then things of beauty in their
fresh spring verdure, and the plain itself
is laid down with crops. Irrigation can
ais cross it here and there give trouble to
the horseman. No grade grows upon the
mounds, and there are patches of the level
white with the nitre which is to be found
here as in other parts of Mesopotamia;
but the surface Of the soil is on the whole
green and pleasant to the eye. The glad
waters of the river flow on in the bright
morning sunshine, with palm and null
berry hanging over its bank, drinking in
sap and life. The great city which
counted its population by millions, and
forgotten, has disappeared under the dust
of twenty centuries, but nature is as fresh
and jocund as when Babylon was still
unbuilt Birds sing overhead in the
spring air; butterflies futter about in
search Of. flowers; balmy odors regale the
sense. It is difficult under the circcum-
stances to feel as one perhaps ought to
feel for the great capital which once cum
bered this ground. Nature does not
mourn for it, and it is hard to be sad at
the bidding Of sentiment when the bright
spring hides its grave.
