I WISH I WAS A PRINTER.
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. It is proper
to state that in cases of this character, in
vestigations have been promptly ordered,
and the offender punished whenever his

guilt has been satisfactorily established.
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.

Our attention has been called to an in

loyal gentleman yesterday to a man of
color. The colored man walked up to
him, and extended his hand, but the loy

disdainfully walked away. This is out
rageous conduct, and calls for a meeting
of all the “loyalists” of the city to ex
