THERE can be nothing comforting to the
Administration in the quiet and calm
manner in which the veto has been received
and treated by a large majority Of the
people Of this coast. True, Hayes has
been burned in efigy, and other marks Of
disapprobation shown, but the better and
thinking class Of our people were prepared
for the veto, and therefore felt 10 sud-
den indignation. 1t has. therefore, ac-
eomplished nothing save to array against
the Administration and the Republican
party the opposition Of the whole Pacific
Coast.

RRoA Warrington advices, it would seem
that the Grecnback leaders in that city still
think that their party exists, and do not
appear to be discouraged by the fact that
ct the recent local elections in the Eastern
States they showed large losses and little
vitality. The questions which brought it
into existence have been settled by events
which are irreversible, and no party can
exist when the issues upon which it was
founded are dead. On what, then, does it
live? Its constitution being dead, prob
ably it exists on its s'by-laws."

SAVINGS

The savipgs-bank system has reached a
greater prominence and perfection in
Massachusetts, than in any other State in
the Union. In that State there is more
than $200, 900, 900 still on deposit in these
institutions, in spite Of the financial de-
preston and the marked reduction in the
rate Of interest consequent upon the sue
csss Of the refunding of the Government
loans. For the first time since there we're
savings banks making reports to the State,
there has been q reduction in every item.
Not only has the rate Of interest decreased,
but the amount Of deposits has fallen off,
and the banks are in q worse condition
than ever before. We cannot look upon
this - foreshadowing anything else than
the substitution Of government loans for
the savings Of the people. We shall never
come 10 the financial condition Of France,
where the people lend money to the State
apon the promise Of an eternal annuity,
but We are slowly but inevitably approach
ing the time when the people Of the United
States will hold all its evidences of indebt-
sdness. When that time comes, we shall
hear very little more about the necessity of
government furnishing the currency Of the
nation, or Of the advantage Of q currency
that II irredeemable.

WARRINGTON dispatches say that an ex-
animation Of the appropriations voted by
Congress, made at the Treasury Depart
ment, leads to the serious conclusion that
there will not be money enough in the
Treasury mot otherwise appropriated to
meet the expenditures under the River and
Harbor bill, and the same may prove true
Of tho Pension Arrearages act. Mr.. Sher-
man says that he will not infringe on the
sam needed TO secure resumption, and as
Congpsss has required him to pay out more
than he has received, he will wait until he
b provided with funds. His plan for
meeting the drain Of the Pension Arrear-
ages cot Is to pay out these claims at the
rats Of ten or twelve millions a year. An
other serious difficulty exists in the accu-
mutation Of silver, which is rolling up in
the Treasury at the rate Of $50. 900 a day,
and Of which there will be twenty-five or
thirty millions in the Treasury by the LIST
u January next.

Nor only is Ireland conyulsed with o
civil tumult and threatened with invasion,
but her crops, both root and cereal, have
proved failures. Tho farmers realize that
they can scarcely, under the most favor
able circumstances, save and hold enough
to prevent their families from suffering Of
hunger, and this fact strengthens their
determination to enforce reduced rents.
Tho area Of Ireland is about that of the
state OF Indiana; there are $1,000 square
miles Of land Of which 5000 are mountains,
boys, lakes, or waste, and about 2, 600 are
adapted to agriculture, but much Of this
is not capable Of high cultivation. Upon
this limited area Of land there now exists
a population of 100000, three.fourths of
whom are farmers These farmers pay an
aggregate annual rent OF over sos, 100000,
in addition to which they have to pay
taxes and keep up improvements on the
farms. In case Of eviction, all the i'm
provements belong to the land. This
exhibit shows that there is ground for the
discomfort among the Irish farmers.

TIE year 1870 will be remarkable
among other things for the first extensive
adoption of the telephone as convenient
vehicle of communication. We in the
United States are still much ahead Of all
the rest OF the world in the ready adapta.
ton Of this wonderful instrument. The
London papers only last month were dis.
cussing in speculative way the extent to
which telephone exchanges" as they
call them, could beintroduced. A Bristol
man by the name Of Carpenter, who has
just been to this country, thereupon
writes to the Spectator Of the extent to
which the telephone has been introduced
in thiscountry. He tells them that Chi
cago had 1000 telephone subscribers in
June, Buffalo 1000 or 1 per cent OF the
population, and that in many cities both
systems IRE employed. Great Britain in
this respect is considerably behind the
TIMES.
