I wish I was a printer, I really do, indeed; It seems to mo that printers Have everything they need, (Except money 1) They get the largest and the best Of everything that grows, And get free into circusses And other kinds of shows, ' (By giving an equivalent I) The biggest bug will speak to them, No matter how they dress; ' A shabby coat is nothing If they own n printing press. (Policy I) At ladles’fairs they’re almost hugged By pretty girls who know That they will crack up everything The ladies have to show. (Lucky fellows I) And thus they get a “ blow out” free, At every party feed— The reason Is because they write, And other people read. (That’s so!) FBONTIERSUEN OF THE OI.DEV TIME. Colonel Marcy recites the following conversation with an old frontiersman while marching in 1848 with a battallion from Little Rock to Fort Towson: ‘ Are you gwlne fur to jine ole Zack down in Mexico ?’ No, sir, the Mexican wai’ is ended, and we are now on the way for the Choc taw nation.’ ‘ Whur did ye come from, stranger ?” ‘ We came last from Pascagoula.’ ‘Mought you be the boss hossifer of thnr army ?’ pointing to the men. ‘ I am the commanding officer of that detachment, sir.’ ‘Wall, Mr. Hossifer, be them sure ’nuff sogers, or is they make b’lieve chaps, like I seen down to Orleans ?’ ‘ They have passed through the Mexi can war, and I trust they have proved themselves not only worthy the appella tion of real, genuine soldiers, but of vet erans, sir.’ I Now I goot wnut to- Uuow r o»o-4L5n(y more, boss; be them chaps rog-lars or be they melish ?’ I I assure you that they belong to tho regular army of the United States.’ Then, pointing to my uifonn, he added', ‘ Appuriently, then, fighting’s your trade.’ ‘ I adopted the profession of arms at an early age,’ I replied. ‘ War you- at the Orleans fight, whar our boys gin such particular fits to ole Pack ?’ I answered that, though a pretty old soldier, my commission did not date quite so far back as 1814. ‘ Wall, ole boss, you nioughn’t a been thar, but you aint no chicken now, sure.’ He continued, ‘onetime.me and him, Ike Thompson, wo, went on a sogerin’ spree.’ ‘ Ah! Indeed ; in what place did you serve, pray!’ ‘ In several places ; but the last pop we font at the battle of the Horse-Shoe, whar we and ole Hickry cleaned out the In gines.’ ‘ That was a mostdecisivo and sanguin ary battle,’ I observed. ‘I calkerlate, Mr. Hossifer, that war the most decisivest and tire most san guinariest fight you ever seen in all yer born days. We boys, we up and pitched in thar, and we gin the yeller-bellies the mostpartieuiar hail Coiumby. We chaw ed urn all up; wo laid um out colder nur a wedge; wb saved every mother's son of um—we did that thar little thing, boss.’ I replied that I had no doubt very many of the Indians wore killed, butthntlhad always been under the impression that some of them made their escape; and, in fact, I was very confident that several Creek Indians were then living upon the Canadian River who participated in the battle of the Horse-Shoe: He said he ‘rayther reckon’d not;’ but,at ail events he was quite certain ‘ efany of thedogond vannits did git away, they war d—d bad ly wounded sartin sure.’ He then .produced a bottle,of whisky, and gave me a pressing invitation 1 to liquor,’ remarking that he 1 war not too proud to take a horn with a fellur soger, even if he war a reg’lar.’ After having taken the drink, ire ap proached me, and in a serious tone said, ‘Thar’s narry paper tuck in this yere settle-ment, but I beam tell that Glneral Jackson ar dead; may be you mought heer’d some talk bout it as you corn’d ‘long,the road, stranger?” Soda Water—lts History— We will venture to say that very few of our read ers who frequentthesodafountainsknow .the mr.nner in which the beverage is made. Soda water is simply pure water impregnated with carbonic-acid gas. It is known by Its agreeable pungent, taste, by its slightly exhilarating qualities, and its bubbling and scintillation.' The wa ter, to be impregnated with the gas is placed in a strong vessel, made of iron or copper, called a fountain. The gas after being passed through the water to purify it, is conducted to the fountain, and, af ter sufficient agitation in contact with the gas, at a high pressure, the water becomes impregnable, and is then what is known as soda water. The first experiments were made by Venal, in France, 1750, and published in 1776; by Priestly, in 17- OS; and later, by Bergman, Black, Van Helmot, and others. The first manufac tory in the world was established at Ge neva, by Goss, an apothecary of that city, whose annual sales amounted to 40,000 bottles of “ Eau de Selts.” In 1790, his partner, Mr. Paul, founded an establish ment in Paris, where were compounded not only the principal mineral waters of France, but even those of foreign coun tries. From this time onward, laborato ries multiplied all over Europe, and the manufacture of simple agrated water is now conducted on so large a scale in all civilized countries, that a very large amount of inventive talent has been suc cessfully employed in improving the nec essary apparatus. - The Ladies’ Man. —By his air and gait, the ultra-fashionable style of his clothing, the killing curl of his mous tache, the “look and die” expression of his simpering face, his stream of small talk, and sundry other signs and tokens of a plethora of vanity and a lack of soul and brain, you may distinguish ataglance the individual who plumes himself a “ ladies’ man.” His belief in his own irresponsibility is written all over him.— And!to say the truth, i'our ladies-men have some ground for their self-conceit. It is indubitable that girls do sometimes fall in love, or who suppose they love, fellows who look as if- they had walked out of tailors’ fashion- plates—creatures that by the aid of the various artists who contribute to the “make-up” of human popinjays, have bfeen converted into su perb examples of what art can effect in the way of giving man an unmanly ap pearance. The woman who marries one of these flatterers is to bo pitied; for, if she has any glimmering of- common sense, and a heart under her bodice, she will soon discover that her dainty hus band has no more of a man’s spirit in him than an automatic figure on a Savo yard’s hand-organ. AN EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY. Fourteen thousand Dollars in Gold and Bonds Stolen from a Parma —the 2’hicrcs Personate Government Detectives. (From tho Cleveland Herald, June 2S.] A robbery that has scarcely been paral leled in successful audacity took place on the evening of Tuesday, the 20th ult., in the township of Florence, Huron County. It is difficult to tell which to admire most, the impudent assurance of tho robbers or tho verdant simplicity of the victim. A rich old farmer, named Nelson, lives in Florence. On Tuesday evening Mr. Nelson had in his safe the comfortable sum of $14,027, being $9,000 in United States bondsCbelougiug to himself, $2,000 entrusted to his safe keeping by a confid ing neighbor, a Mr. Pearce, and $3,027in gold which had often gladdened his own eyes and tormented those of his neigh bors. Just about dusk n party of visitors arrived at the house, five of them enter ing ; and about as many more, Mr. Nel son thinks, remained outside. The visitors represented themselves to be government detectives in search of stolen property. One of them wore a step, and appeared to be the leader of tho par ty. He said there had been an extensive robbery of government bonds, and they had got on the track of the property. — The numbers of the missing bonds were in their possession, and understanding that he hafi a large number of bonds in his possession, it was their duty to ex amine them and compare numbers. — Thereupon they ordered him to open the safe ana produce the documents. Over awed by the numbers and pretensions of the men, Mr. Nelson at length opened the safe, and witli much reluctance display ed its treasures. The bonds were care fully examined and compared with the list. Strange to say, they compared ex actly, and the detectives announced that they were on the right track at last, the bonds being the very ones they were in search of. In vain Mr. Nelson protested that it was impossible, lie had come hon estly by them; the officers sternly bade him shut up,” and informed him that the circumstances in which ho was piac .ed were so suspicious that they were com pelled to take him into custody. Mrs. Nelson and three hired men hav ing come in, they, too, were informed that the courts of justice required their orruuf. until thaii- (mmiDnf.ion with t.liA property could be explained. Handculla were produced and Mr. and Mrs. Nelson, with the three hired men, were manacl ed and ordered to sit still. The “officers” then secured the “stolen” bonds, and also confiscated the gold as part of the pro ceeds of other bonds probably sold, and withdrew for consultation, strictly charg ing the manacled party to remain quiet ly in their seats. It is scarcely necessary to state that the " officers” did not coiue back. Tlie hand-cuffed victims waited until Into at night, and then, hearing no summons to proceed to jail, the convic tion dawned on their minds that they had been sold at a very costly price. Tho alarm was given, and the services of a blacksmith secured to uurivetthe chains, but in the meantime the robbers had fled, leaving not a single trace behind. A man was arrested in Norwalk next day on suspicion, butno proof could bo louud against him and ho was released. It is said that some strangers had been for days hanging around the place, getting acquainted with Mr. Nelson’s habits, and preparing for tho job which was so neat ly and effectually accomplished. Why Geary Cannot be Elected. The Philadelphia Daily News , a Re publican newsjmpor which, is as well known as any in tills State, very plainly intimates that General Geary does not stand a shadow of a chance of being elec ted. It declares that thousands of sensi ble Republicans know that the platform on which lie stands will be repudiated by the people of Pennsylvania and the candi date with it. Wo make the following extract: When General Geary was nominated a series of resolutions we e passed by the convention which named him as a candi date of the “Union” party, and these re solutions contained matter very different from the declaration of principles made at Chicago when Lincoln and Hamlin were nominated; and at Baltimore when Lincoln and Johnson were nominated. — They also contained assertions concern ing the course which President Johnson has pursued, which are false in point of fact and grossly offensive iiulanguage.—- There cannot be a doubt that those reso lutions were intended to widen the breach between the friends of the Federal govern ment and the revolutionists who are stri ving to subvert the. Constitution. After the nomination was made we called upon General Geary to repudiate the oflensive resolution, but thus far he has not done so. There is yet time, but we can see no good reason for delay, nor 'any fair one for refusing to state his views candidly to the people. The prin-. eipies which now divide the conservative portion of the Uniou'party from tho radi cal element are of such importance that they cannot be ignored -at a time when the very life of the Republic is at stake. The silence of General Geary warrants tho impression that he intends to stand upon those resolutions, and it is certain that they are not the platform of tho Union party. It is folly for any one to flatter himself with the belief that the radical element alone can carry an election in Pennsylva nia, even if the conservative Union men should simply retrain from voting. If any friend of General Geary will take the pains to calculate the percentage of votes which the party now dominant in the State can afford to lose, without in curring the certainty of defeat, he will find that it is very small; and if he will then estimate the number of votes which the party whoso popularity has mainly depended upon its being the Union party will lose by. taking an attitude of hostili ty to the Union, he may be able to form a judgment as to the prospects of gener al Geary’s election, if he shall presist in standing upon the Harrisburg resolutions. kSy The following is from tho Wash ington correspondent of tho New York Commercial : The numerous public schools of Wash ington city are now being examined, and also the freedmen's schools. A good story is told of the private secretary of Senator Sumner, who attended one of these insti tutions for teaching tho contraband idea how to shoot, and was invited to pro pound some questions. “ Children,” said he, in a grave tone, “ what Senator can you name ?” There was a pause and then the bright boy of the class exclaimed, “Abrum Lincum!” “No,” said the young gentleman, “ I mean what Senator in Congress do you know, or have you heard of?” Another pause and then a young specimen of ebony and ivory, tim idly suggested, “Andy Johnson!” “He’s not a Senator, either.” Just then another pupil was inspired and exclaimed, 1 Ge neral Washington!” Poor little igno rant colored boys—at school under the shadow ol the capital, and didn’t know the name of a Senator (especially Sumner) when Senators are doing so much for [ them. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE VETOING THE FREEDMEN'S REREAD BILE Washington, July 16, THE VETO MESSAGE The following is the Veto Message of the President, communicated to-day to the House of Representatives : A careful examination of the hill pass ed by the two Houses of Congress, enti tled “ An act to continue in force, and to amend an act to establish a bureau for the relief of freedmen and refugees, and for other purposes,” has convinced me that the legislation which it proposes would not be consistent with the welfare of the country, and that it falls clearly within the reasons assigned in my message of the 19th of February last, returning with out mysignatureasimilar measure which originated in the Senate. It is not my purpose to repeat the objections which 1 then urged. They are fresh in your rec ollection, and can be readily examined as a part of the records of one branch of the National Legislature. Adhering to the principles set forth in that message, I now reaffirm them and the line of policy there in indicated. The only ground upon which this kind of legislation can be jus tilled is that of the war-making power, and the act of-which this bill is intended as amendatory, was passed during the ex istence of the war. By its own provisions it is to terminate within one year from the cessation of hostilities and the decla ration of peace. It is, therefore, yet in existence, and it is likely that it will con tinue in force as long ns the freedmen may require the benefits of its provisions. It will certainly remain in operation as a law until some months subsequent to the meeting of the next session of Congress, when if experience shall make evident the necessity of additional legislation, the two Houses will have ample time to ma ture and pass the requisite measures. In the meantime the questions arise, Why should this war measure be continued be yond the period designated in the origi nal act? andwhy,intimeofpeace,should military tribunals bo created to continue until each State shall bo fully restored in its constitutional relations to the Govern ment and shall be duly represented in the Congress of the United States? It was manifest with respect to the act ap proved March 3, 1865, that prudence and wisdom alike required that jurisdiction over all eases cnnnarnlmr the free eniov ment ol the immunities and rights of cit izenship, as well as the protection of per son and property, should be conferred upon some tribunal in every State or dis triot where the ordinary course of judicial proceedings was interrupted by the re bellion, and until the same should be ful ly restored. At that time, therefore, an urgent necessity existed for the passage of such a law, now the war has substan tially ceased. Tlie ordinary course of ju dicial proceeding is no longer interrupted. The Courts, both State and Federal, are in full, complete and successful operation, and through them every person, regard less of race and color, is entitled to and can be heard. The protection granted to a white citizen is already conferred by law upon the freedmau. Strong and strin gent guards, by way of penalties and pun ishments, are thrown around his person and property, and it is believed that am ple protection will be afforded him by due process of law, without resort to tire dangerous expedient of military tribunals. Now, that the war has been brought to a close, the necessity no longer existing for such tribunals as had their origin in the war, grave objections to their continu ance must present themselves to the minds of all reflecting and dispassionate. Inde pendently of the danger in representative .Republics of conferring upon the milita ry in time of peace extraordinary powers, so carefully guarded against by the pa triots and statesmen of the earlier days of the Republic, so frequently the ruin of governments founded upon the same free principles, and subversive of the rights and liberties of the citizen, the question ofpraetioal economy earnestly commends Itself to the'consideration of the law-ma king power. With an immense debt al ready burdening the energies of the in dustrial and laboring classes, a due re gard for their interests, so inseparably connected with the welfare of the coun try, should prompt us to rigid economy and retrenchment, and influence us to abstain from all legislation that would un necessarily increase the public indebt ness. Tested by this rule of sound polit ical wisdom, I can see no reason for the establishment of the military jurisdiction conferred upon the officials of the Bureau by the ,fourteenth section of the bill. By the laws of the United States and of the different States, competent courts. Feder al aud State, have been established, and are now in full practical operation. By means of these civil tribunals, ample re dress is afforded for all private wrongs, whether to the person or the property of the citizen, without denial or unnecessa ry delay. They are open to all without regard to color or race. I feel well assur ed that it will be better to trust the rights, privileges and immunities of the citizen to tribunals thus established and presid ed over by competontand impartial judg es, bound by fixed rules of law and evi dence, and when the right of trial by ju ry is guarantied and secured, than to the caprice or judgment of an officer of the Bureau, who, it is possible, may be entire ly ignorant of the principles that under lie the just administration of the law. — There is danger, too, that conflict of ju risdiction will frequently arise between the civil courts and these military tribu nals, each having concurrent jurisdiction over the person and cause of action ; the one jurisdiction administered and con trolled by civil law, the other by military. How is the conflict to be settled and who is to determine between the two tribu nals, when ft arises? In my opinion it is-wise to guard against such conflict by leaving to the courts and juries the pro tection of all civil rights and the redress of all civil grievances. The fact cannot be denied that since the actual cessation of hostilities many acts of violence, such, perhaps, as had never been witnessed in their previous history, have occurred in the States involved in the recent rebel lion. I believe, however, that public sentiment will sustain me in the asser tion that such deeds of wrong are not confined to any particular State or sec tion, bat are manifested over the entire country, demonstrating that the cause that produced them does not depend up on any particular locality, but is the re sult of the agitation and derangement in cident to a long and bloody war. While the prevalence of such disorders must bo greatly deplored, their occasional and temporary recurrence would seem to fur nish no necessity for the extension of the Bureau beyond the period fixed in the original act. Besides the objections I have thus briefly stated, I may urge up on your consideration the additional rea son that recent developments in regard to tlie practical operations of the Bureau in many of the States, show that in nu merous instances it is used by its agents ns a means of promoting their individual advantage, and that the freedmen are employed for the advancement of the per sonal ends of the officers instead of their own improvement and welfare; thus con firming the fears originally entertained by many, that the continuation of such a Bureau for any immediate length of time would inevitably result in fraud,- corruption and oppresslou.

As another rcasonagalnst the necessity of the legislation contemplated by this measure, reference may beliad to the Civil Rights Bill, how a law of the land, and which will bo faithfully executed so long ns it shall remain unrepealed, and not be declared unconstitutional by courtsof com petent jurisdiction. By that act it is en acted, “ That all persons bom In the United States, and not subjecttoany for eign Power, excluding]lndiaus not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States; and such citizen of every race and color, without regard toany pre vious condition of slavery or involuntry servitude, except ns a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall have the same right .inevery Stateand Territory in the United States, to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties and give evidence, to in herit, purchase, lease,sell, holdandcon vey real aud personal property, and to have full and equal benefit of all laws and pro ceedings lor the security of person and" property as is enjoyed by white citizens, and shall be subject to like punishments, pains and penalties, and to none other, any law, statute, ordinance, regulation or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.” By the provision of The act full protection is afforded through the District Courts of the United States to all persons Injured, aud whose privileges as thus declared are iu any way impaired and very heavy pen alties are denounced against the person who wilfully violates the law. I need not state that that law did not receive my approval, yet its remedies are far more preferable than those proposed in the pro-, sent bill, the one being civil and the other military. By the sixth section of the bill, here with returned, certain proceedings by which the lands in the Parishes of St. Helena and St. Luke, South Carolina, were sold and bid in, and afterwards dis posed of by the Tax Commissioners, are confirmed and ratified. By the 7th, Bth, ■ 9th, 10th and 11th sections, provisions are made by law for the disposal of the lands thus acquired to a particular class of citi zens. While the granting of titles is deemed very important and desirable, the dis crimination made in the bill seems ob jectionable, as does also the attempt to con fer upon the Commissionersj udicol powers by which citizens of the United States are r.D Do iloj> rl ' r ort rtf thnlr prnpotiy iun UIOQB contrary to that provision of the Constitu tion which declares that no person shall ho deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. As a gener al principle such legislation is unsafe, unwise, partial and unconstitutional. It may deprive persons of property who are equally deserving objects of the nation’s bounty as those whom by this legislation Congress seeks to benefit. The title to laud thus to be portioned out to a favour ed class of cltizeus must depend upon the regularity of the tax sales under the law ns it existed at the time of the sale, and no subsequent legislation can give vali dity to the rights thus acquired osogainst the original claimant. The attention of Congress is therefore invited to a more mature consideration of the measures proposed in these sections of the bill. In conclusion I again urge upon Con gress the danger of class legislation, so well calculated to keep the public mind in n state of uncertain expectation, dis quiet and restlosness, and to encourage interested hopes and fears that the Na tional Government will continue to fur nish to classes of citizens in the several States means for support and maintain auee regardless as to whether they pur sue a life of indolence or of labor, and re gardless also of the constitutional limita tions of the national authority in times of peace and tranquility. The bill is herewith returned to the House of Representatives, iu which it originated for its final action. • ANDREW JOHNSON. Washington, D. C., July 10, 1860. With zeal worthy a better cause both branches of the Bump Congress “ passed” the bill over the veto within four hours after the delivery of the message. The vote stood, in the Senate, for the negro bill, 33 —a1l Disunionists ; against the bill, 12— all Democrats and Conservatives. — Absent, against the bill, Cowan, Dixon, Wright. In the House, for the negro bill, 10L— all Disunionists; against the bill, 33 -all Democrats and Conservatives. It will be born In mind, however, that the vote by which this bill has been de clared passed over the veto, is not, in either branch, half the number necessary to constitute a full and lawful Senate and House. The vote for the bill in each branch is but two-thirds of a fragment of each branch, and as such, is null and void as a law. Such legislation might do where the absent members kept from their seats constitutionally or through their own neglect; but that is not the case. The Senators and Representatives of nearly one-third of the States of the Union are deprived of seats in Congress and of a share in legislation, through the revolu tionary and illegal acts of a factious dis union majority ; hence not a single act of the promt Rump Congress should have any binding force as law. A Civil. Right’s Case Decided.— The Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad set apart a car exclusively for the use of ne groes; Just after the passage of the Civ il Right’s Bill over the President’s veto Aaron Bradley, a negro lawyer, repre senting himself as a member of the Suf folk bar,; Boston, instituted a suit before Justice Hawgard, of Baltimore, claiming damages from the Company for refusing to comply with the terms of a contract by which he paid SI 50 to be transported from Washington to Baltimore. He en tered one of the cars allotted to white people and was turned out by the conduc tor. , The plaintiff alleges that he was ejected from a car, in contempt of a law of the United States, on account of his color, race, &0., and brings a civil action to recover the amount of his fare, and damages laid at one hundred dollars. J. H. B. Latrobe appeared for the delendant. Ho stated that under the laws of the State the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company derived authority to make rules and regulations for the government of travel. They had absolute authority to refuse white men the privilege of. enter ing oars occupied by ladies, &c. He had never heard that white men ever ques tioned the propriety of their rules, which were adopted tor the sole purpose of con tributing to the general pleasure of trav elers on that great highway to the West. Justice Hayward, after listening to th» argument in the case, entered a judg ment of non pros., whioh is supposed to mean that there was no cause ot action. — Balt. Sun.. Don’t Practice What They Preach. —The friends par-excellence of the negro don’t always practice what they preach. Our attention has been called to an in stance of the bad conduct of an extremely loyal gentleman yesterday to a man of color. The colored man walked up to him, and extended his hand, but the loy al man turned his back upon him, and disdainfully walked away. This is out rageous conduct, and calls for a meeting of all the “loyalists” of the city to ex press their indignation. What says broth,i er Gelst about the matter 1 JOB PRINTING.
