THE coirToat
The debate in the Senate, yesterday, on the
repeal of the cotton tax, although it did not
result in the passage of the bill, developed
important facts, which should be widely
-known, especially throughout the South.
it is worthy of note that Senators of the
political stamp of Sherman, Sprague, Grimes
and Drake strongly urged the repeal of , this
tax. The notion is industriously circulated
Itsr Democratic politicians and Presses, and is
readily believed at the South, that the Ra
pid:dies° party is moved by a 'vindictive hos
tility to that part of the Coantry,lll all its
legislation. The falsehood received a prep
tical denial in yesterday's debate. Senator
, Drake is as radical a Republican as is to be
found in the ranks of the party; but
'`urges the repeal of the cotton lax because
to desires that "a •helping hand shohld be .
Ireki out to the South to lift it up to compar
:ative prosperity." Senator Sherman argued
- that, not the planters alone, but the laborers
''-4111 the plantations are directly interested in
removing or relieving this tax. `in most
:;places in the South, the planters are working
_•lon shares with their hands, and Mr. Sher
:tie= said truly that he spoke-as much In the
interest of the loyal black men as he did in
in that of their employes. The Republican
party has always desired the real reconstruc
tion of the South and a restoration
of all its material prosperity.
,It is easy
. to see that the whole country, must
benefit by the renewed, jproductiveness of
the South, and as a matter of national policy,
. as well as of natural humanity, the
North really desires, in the words of Senator
• Drake, "to extend its helping hand to the
". • South." In the hottest period of the rebel
lion the North felt none of that hatred toward
the rebels which characterized their attitude
toward the North. The only bitterness of
• feeling was toward the creeping Copperheads
of the North, who, enjoying the blessings of
'a
free government, plotted day and night to
break it down and destroy it. Ever since
thawar ceased there has been a wonderful
magnanimity in the purposes and sentiments
-- of the Republican party toward the
conquered rebels, and had . they
accepted the the • lenient offers that
were made to them by Congress, they
wouldlong ago have been placed in the en
joyment of their political privileges and of
those great material and industrial advantages
which they destroyed by their wicked war.
But the debate of yesterday shows that the
presentobstaele in the way of the repeal of
this onerous tax is caused by the South
itself. Under the fostering hand of its worst
enemy, Andrew Johnson, the South has put
• itself into an attitude of sullen, factions hos
tility toward the North which checks its pa
. erous impulses, and, prevents the kindly leg-.
islation,the relief of which the Republican pir
rty proposes for its conquered but still rebel
lions enemies. This work has been done by the
President, under his, alse pretexts of aiding
-. the . South, •and when Senators Nye . and
Thayer, yesterday, opposed the repeal of the
. cotton tax, their argument, as Mr. Thayer
said, was that "the South had shown no con
- tritespirit, but a disposition to abuse COn
gress, and did not really deserve,any special
favor ;" and, as Mr. Nye said, that "the
Booth had given no evidence of thankfulness
: for the magnanimity of Congress, but the
contrary."
C' No well informed pew/ at the .North sup
• poses that this is the universal condition of
- the people of the Smith. There are many la
- - telligent ex-rebels who , have accepted their
conquered situation in good faith, and who
not join in or sympathize with the insane
,hue and cry against •
the party which, having
carried the country successfully through the
- war, exhibited in its offers of terms to the
conquered rebels, a degree of forbearing
lenience for which history has no parallel.
But still these are the exceptions among the
Oiouthent population. Tile masses, embit
tered by their defeat, impoverished by the
rebellion, deceived by their Presidential ally,
have none of that good-will toward the
north which ought to go before their
restoration to the blessings of the
American 'Union. They still dream of com
pensation for their slaves; of the assumption
of the rebel debt; of some sort of restoration
of their old relations to their slaves. They
spend _their time in idle abuse of Congress,
which only postpones the day of their de
liverance, and in idler dreams of future po
litical power, instead of, in hearty, earnest,
honest labor. It' the cotton tax is repealed,
it will be done by the Republican patty, and
will only be aut9ther proof added to the many
already given that the party under whose
auspices the rebellious South was conquered
Is the party to which it should look with
confidence for restoration, encouragement
and support.
THE 11A1COUK MENSAGE.
__:_Tbc Washington correspondents of the
Northern Copperhead newspapers deny the
statement that the message recommending
Congressional recognitlen of the order of
General Hancock was a prearranged thing
between the President and the Deinocratii
ntembera of Congress. They say that it is
denied authoritatively on
. behalf of the Presi
sleet that the massage was sugg , :ste , t to him
by any one; and they further say that it was
Lis own voluntary set, and his best friends hi
the [louse knew nothing,whatever about it
until:lVY/as ant to the C.ipitol. There was
, encits,lllllo biq who made what he called a
thile.wOoden beat, but which was, so 'bid a
pie,c'ef butchery that it bore no resemblance

to anything that ever miffed upon the wetorS
under the propelling intacnee of Mon t 60
or paddles. "And did Andy make ail this

the nautical monstrosity WWI shown. "Yes,

doubt," said the satirical critic, "I have
no doubt that ho has plenty of wood there to
make a good many more just like itr It is
refreshing to be assured that the malignity
and wooden-headednesa of the Hancock
message was the offspring of the brains and
heart of a single individual. Even Hinckley
would scarcely care to, be known as a con
stitutional adviser in the production of such
a document. Mr. Johnson made it all out
of his head, and he has wood enough in his
addled pate, and wickedness enough in his
heart to continue to put forth such documental
monstrosities until the 4th of March, 1869,
When the American people will happily be
able:devoutly to thank Heaven that they are
rid of this Presidential botch, whose bungling
is only exceeded by his malignity.
JAMES BUCK ALNAN.
A letter written by Jefferson Davis, at
Washington, on the eighth of January, 1861,
has lately come to light. It was addressed to
the secession United States Consul at Alex
andria, Egypt, and it was written in response
to a letter filled with fire-eating sentiments,
which the Consul had addressed to Davis.
In the course of his letter the arch-traitor said:
"The confidence heretofore felt in litiriluchanan
has diminished eteadily,audie now nearly extinct.
His weakness has done as much harm as wick
edness would have achieved.. Tboueh I can no
longer respect or•confer with him,anci feel injured
by his conduct, yet I • pity and would extenuate
the offences not prompted by bad design or ma
lignant intent." -
It will*be remembered' that the date ; at
which this letter was written was the time
when the •Presidential dotard was making , Lt
feeble show of doing something for the relief
of the starving garrison at Fort Sumter. The
Star of the West had been despatched with
provisions for Major Anderson, and this act
(A - attempting to feed starving soldiers ex
cited the contempt and indignation of the
traitors who had been` moulding him like
wax to suit their own purposes. It would
be difficult to find -in history a public cha
racter who figures so contemptibly as James
Buchanan. Despised by every loyal man
and woman in the land for his weak and
„nerveless wielding of the truncheon. of office,
when patriotic sentiment, determined ac
tion and earnest resolve would * have
, crushed rebellion in its beginning,
aid checked the sanguinary tide
that soon after flowed over the land;
hated by the South after he had parted with
everything like manliness 'at their insolent
dictation; hated by them because he was
too weak even to be constant in his weakness,
and too craven to be consistent in his shame
ful cowardice and irresolution. Detested as
the memory of Andrew .Tohnson will be, he
can never sink to the level of James Buch
anan. Johnson has positive points of char
acter, whether for good or for evil, and he is
as persistent as Satan in the pursuit of his
plans. James Buchanan, when in the Presi
dential chair, was a weak driveller, without
sufficient courage or political integrity to re
tain the confidence and respect of his friends,
and too cowardly to meet all the exactions of
treasonable keepers. Poor old Buchanan !
AIY UN FOR rim ATE DIFFICULTY
Petroleum V. Nasby is allowed considera
ble latitude in his use of language, and when
he speaks of the rebellion as" "a slight on
pleasantness" the term is admitted as appro
priate to his assumed character. But when
the Chief of Police of New Orleans refers,
officially, to the bloody massacre of July
1866, as "the unfortunate digtOulty of the
30th of July," the case is different. Mr.
Adams and his poliee, having murdered and
mangled the delegates' to the Convention,
hauled off their dead and wounded to the
Station House, the Workhouse and the. Hos
pital, and the chief brute then made out his
bill in the following terms :
CITY or NEW ORLEANS
To Thos. E. Adams, Chief of :
July 31, 1863.
Cash paid for hauling forty-six loads of
dead and wounded from around Meehan-
lies' Institute to the Station House, at $3
per load 6138
Cash paid for carrying dead from Station
House to Workhouse yard, eight loads, at
$3 21
Cash paid for hauling fifteen loads of
wounded from Station House to Freed
men's Hospital, at $4.... 60
Cash paid for carriage hire for self and aids
during riot... . . .... . 75
Total $297
I certify that the above was made necessary by
the unfortunate difticully of the 30th of July at
the Mechanics' Institute.
Taos. E. ADA3IB, Chief of Pollee. -
If Adams bad been a scavenger, hauling
so many loads of rubbish and dirt and dump
ing them upon the commons, his bill would
have been the same.. "Forty-six loads of
dead and wounded, at $3 per load!" "Haul
ing fifteen loads of wounded to Freedmen's
Hospital, at $4 per load!" And then, "car
riage hire for self and aids during riot, s7s!"'
The brutal heartlessness of this fellow is a
specimen of the tone of his class. It throws
a flood of fresh light upon the horrible ma
lignity which conceived and perpetrated
the • ,3nassacre itself. The police of
New Orleans regarded those loyal delegates
as so many cattld, to be slaughtered, shot,
hacked, beaten, and hauled oil' by the cart
load, 'wounded, dying and dead, the ghastly
trophies of an "unfortunate difficulty." When
the ministers of the law are suc a mere brutes,
is it any wonder that Sheridan should have
needed to put a strong hand upon them? Is
it not to be wondered at that Hancock should
flatter himself that a community that tolerates
such cold-blooded scoundrels as these, may
safely be treated as ono where "peace and
older reign supreme`?"

T owth of , population, , aed a ogres
needing yen grcatei growth of intelli
gence irl this co ri, 67 41 3 . 30 0 it one of the
'greatest markets fo ight s literature in the
world. There are more tvspapers printed
and read in the uniteds, than in
Europe; and it is probable that th are also
tate, treLl
more magazines circulated here; II ughe
among them should be included forformtn i
magazines and American reprints or compi
lations of foreign periodical literature.
Time was, and not many years ago, when
there were bgt few American magazines pub_
Belied, and their editions wore small. The
old Knickerbocker, which was the most
popular of the strictly literary monthlies,
never bad a circulation of more than a few
thousands. It died years ago, beedise• it
could not keep up With the times. Graham's
Magazine, which was a combination of lit
erature and fashion news, was prosperous
once, and for some years its circulation was
very large. The oldest monthly 'magazine
now printed is Godey's Lady's Book, and
its, prosperity continues. Junior to it, but
not less prosperous, is Peterson's Ladies'
National Magazine. Both of those are
addressed espechdlito the female population.
They circulate all over the Union and
more largely In remote States than in Penn
sylvania. They .are recognized authorities
on all subjects of female attire, find 'as Phi
ladelphia taste is acknowledged everywhere
to be good, they maintain their popularity' in
spite of all competition from other cities.
Their proprietors know also how to lilend
literary entertainment with fashion news
and these two Philadelphia publiCations ex
ercise a silent but very extensive influence in
cultivating"the lifinds,nd refining the tastes
of the young women of America.
Harper's Magazine occupies a field of its
'own, and 'has been conducted with such
' intelligence and energy, that it need fear no
rivalry. Its circulation is, deservedly, very
large. Of strictly literary monthlies the
Atlantic has attained the ,greatest age and
the highest success. Putnam's, which had
tote.suspended some years ago, has lately
been revived, with some prospect of succesa.
The 'Galaxy,which began as a semi-monthly,
is now a monthly and appears to be doing
well. There is room enough for all of these;
indeed, the populations of New England,
New York and the West are large enough to
maintain them, even it' they had not
also a large circulation in other sec
tions. Not one of them, however, can be
fairly selected as representing the national
mind, and each one is more or less typice
of a portion , only of the American people.
Here in Pennsylvania, and in the States im
mediately adjacent, there is a population of
five or six millions of souls, which has
been without .a monthly literary publication
that could be regarded as an organ of the
intellect of theirsection: The great pub;
lishing house of J. B. Lippincott. & Co.,
which has maintained the character of Phil
adelphia as a literary mart, amid all
sorts of desperate rivalry, has under
taken to supply the want that has long
been felt for a Philadelphia literary monthly
magazine. The publishers have the means,
the intelligence and the energy to carry out
their design, and the beginning theyhave
made gives every assurance of success.
There are in Philadelphia about one hundred
thousand families, and the average standard
of intelligence among these—thanks to eiu
cational facilities—is constantly growing
higher. In each of at least twenty thousand
of these Philadelphia families there ought
to be a subscriber to , Lippincott's Maga
zine. Throughout the State of Pennsylvania,
there ought to be a corresponding number of
subscribers, and the same might reasonably
be expected of the neighbor States of .New
Jersey and Delaware. Throughout the
Western and Southern States there are some
millions of natives of Pennsylvania, who
cherish an affection for their old State, and
among whom ought to be' found many thou
sands of cultivated people who would be
glad to receive a Philadelphia magazine of a
high character. All depends, however, upon
the new magazine's maintaining such a cha
racter. That it will do so cannot be
doubted. There will be, "with each pew
number, new facilities afforded to theApub
lishers, and the editors will also acquire the
experience which is even more essential than
book-learning and culture. Good as the
first number.has been, there can be no doubt.
that the succeeding numbers will be' better,
and before the first year is over, Lippin
cott's Magazine will have established itself,
and be able to hcold its own with the best
literary monthlies of the United States or
Great Britain. _ _
In view of the general crowded condition
of our too narrow business streets, there is
great need for the reform of a growing abuse.
It is no unusual thing for the tide of travel
upon a street to be checked, and the street
blocked up with vehicles for half an hour or
more by the removal into or out of buildings
of heavy and unwieldy articles, such as fire
proof safes, machinery, &c. These stoppages
cause much annoyance and inconvenience to
the public, and the aggregate loss of
time growing out of them is import
ant. Hitch of this inconvenience
and loss might be avoided if such work was
done very early in the morning, before the
streets become crowded. It may suit the
purposes of manufacturers of heavy articles
to ,take this mode of advertising their goods
during the busiest part of the day; but it does
not suit the convenience of people who have
their passage through the streets thus ob
structed. The evil has become so annoying
that it calls loudly tor reform, and if those
who can remedy it do not choose so to do,
Councils should interfere.

atones and
The Buffalo Commereicil AdvMi4er of ThursdaY
evening gives a detailed account of the terrible
and heart,rendlng calamity < which 'occurred on
the Buffalo' nd Erie railroad on Wednesday af
ternoon at Angola, about 21 miles west of Buf
falo, resulting in the death of at least forty eight
persons, and the wounding, mote or less se
riously, of over fifty others. The Commercial
.4drerllBer says:
The most shocking feature of the disaster was
the fate of those In the rear ear. Ot course, when.
the ear went down the •embankment the stove
was overturned, the contents setting fire to the
conch, and twenty-thm human beings were liter
ally burned alive, while fifteen others were
crushed to death. Their cries for succor were
truly heart.rending. The car was totally con
sumed, but two of all the number insideeseaping.
Nene of those who thus perished could he recog
nized. The remains were gathered up and re
moved to the freight-house.
At the little domicil of Frank-E. Griffith, situ
ated a short distance from the wend of the dis
aster our reporter found Mr, and .Mrs. Bab
.coek; of Syracuse, who are. mentioned_ as badly
lii,jured. They were on their„ way home from
Oil City. They were quite comfortable at two
o'clock this morning. W. H. Moore was also
here, and was sleeping soundly at the hour above
mentioned. Mr. Griffith is apparently an hum
ble.. hard-working individual,'•but he And his
family very evidently posseas hearts to `feel for
the misfortunes Of others, for they are a» kind,
attentive and tender to their maimed and'bruthed
guests as If they were their own kith and kin.
Passing under the railroad to the opposite side
of the track—that on which the burned car fell—
In company with Dr. Wetmore ' of this city, our
reporter visited the residence ofMr.'Josiati South
wick, a spacious house, where were Chu. Wood,
check agent on the road; Mrs. Chaydyn and her
little girl, the latter lying very, law with a.lrac
lure at the bate of the ,skull; Missei Maria and
Mary Septet, with their fajher in .attendance
upon them; Mrs. Laing and two, children ;
Mrs.. Fisher and - . her brother-.in-law, A. E.
Fisher; W. C. I'attbion, of Oil Creek; IL M. Rub-
set, of Franklin, Tenneeeee, and Mrs. Mary
Moore, , of Brooklyn. These persons were lying
in beds and upon the floor, in almost everyq• room
la the house, and not only Mr. Southwick's
family, but a ti amber Lsfr the neighbors,.. male and
female, who were present, were kirtdly, arid most
patiently doing all in their power to assuage
their pain and make theitt comfortable, and to
assist the physicians. Ottiers. slightly braised,
were at difli-rent houses In the 'village.
The blackened and charred remains of those
perished in the burning car were olieed in
large eases—seven of them—and deposited in the
freight-house, where the other bodies were lying.
Amoug the burned the body of Mr. Stephen
Stewart, President of the Oil Creek Railroad,
ref Wing at Corry, was recognized. On the re
mains of- ono of the passengers in the
burned ear were found some cards bearing
the name of "Charles E. link, C. E.". Papers
were found with the remains of another, bearing
the name of "Alex. Brown." A lady's gold watch':
Parlialli melted,. was 'round . among 110 I,ealhers-
On the back of the (11.9:: were the figures of a
man, woman and child. One man who was re
moved from the burning ruins after his feet IL id
been turned off, was taken to the hotel of Mr.
Montgomery, where he died in a short time. Ile
did not seem to lie conscious, but frequently
mentioned "St. Catherines."
ARRIVAL WOI NDED TN Burrm.°.
The news of the disaster rapidly spread
throughout the- city last evening, and a large
truraber of persons congregated at the depot,
among them being many who had, or fearful they
might have, friends or relatives among the killed
or maimed. About 9 o'clock the Cincinnati train
arrived at the depot, bringing a - number of
wounded, some of whom were conveyed to the
National Hotel, some to the Tufft House, and
somelo the General Hospital—and all received
prompt attention and such assistance as it was
possible for the physicians to render.
About two thousandpeople assembled at the
Central depot this morning at least an hour
previous to tbe arrival of the Erie aecommoda-;
Lion train due at 10.10. Capt. .Nicholson ' was
present with a squad of poll amen, and at the
approach of the train, on which were expected
the dead and some of the wounded, the officers
clewed the depot of the crowd, and admirable
order was preserved by all hands. Coroner Rich
ards came down on the train and superintended
the removal of the Collins to the old 'Soldiers'
Home, nearly oppo4te the main entrance to the
depot. A largo number of people lined the walks
while tin, bodies were being carried out of the de
pet, and a most respectful silence was preserved.
The dead--thirty-nine of them—were borne into
the Home and the eases placed in a row on the
Boor, where they will remain.
Shortly before 1 o'clock a special train, con
sisting of one sleeping-car, in which were
wounded, arrived. On the arrival of this, as on
that of the other trains, there was a largo, ..con
course of people at the depot, and a force of po
licemen was necessary to keep the depot clear.,
The wounded were comfortably plieW on mit
tresses, and were attended by Dm Wetmore and
Johnson. They were removed to the National
Hotel, where they will receive such treatment as
the hest medical skill can give them. Ttiere are
still retaining at An.gola ten of the wounded and
two children, unhurt; all of whom will be brought
to the city to-morrow. ,

NEW Tom:, December 21. , - r -The representation
of the "Devil's Auction," at the academy of
Music has come to a sudden, and, to the pub
lic, a very unexpected termination. The last
exhibition was given on Friday evening, the
18th instant, and yesterday the machinery and
properties were -removed from the Academy
building, and left in the street. The peacocks,
angels' wings, and other stage trumpery were
dug out of the snow last evening, and depoeita_
in the new Tammany Hall. Pecuniary difficul
ties are sail to have caused the collapse.
The investigation proceeds relative to Collec
tor Shook's seizures, and enough has been de
veloped to prove that, for the advantage of the
Revenue, the benefit of legitimate importers, and
the protection of the people from the Imposition
of a spurious compound, the seizures were not
made a day too soon. ' No meeting of the Me
tropolitan Board was held yesterday, bat many
interested dealers congregated in the Board's
room, in anticipation of one.
Dr. J. G. Holland_ (Timothy 'fftcomb) lectunad
last evening upon "he Woman Question." He
thought that marriage rather than suffrage is the
panacea for the grievances of women. The false
pride which forced American girls to seek the
workshop and factory was deprecated, and the
lecturer hoped that the time might soon return
when the offices of cook and chambermaid might
be raised to their true dignity.
At an adjourned meeting of the National Junior
Base Ball Association last evening, thirty clubs
were represented. The treasurer's report showed
a surplus of $2OO. The Secretary reported an ad
dition of 16 clubs, making altogether 141.
The Sons of New England will commemorate

THE COURTS.
Nisi Pities—Justice Sharawood.—Mary Hogm
and-others vs. Samuel K. :Ashton and- others.
The plaintiffs in this case were. depositors with
the National Safety Insurance and Trust Coln
pany, and the defendants were•the Directors in
said Company. The bill of coniplaint designed
to test the personal liability of the. defendants
as Directors, set forth that the Corn
pink:lBllle : were induced to ''' deposit
in the company. by reason of advertisements
which promised to pay gold and silver on de
mand, with five iier cent. interest. The com
pany commenced operationt in 1860, with a
nominal capital of $250,000, consist!tig
,of 5,000
shares. - of fifty dollars each. The officers and
directors, in.violation of the acts of Assembly,
began the discount and purchase of bills tit
hiahly 'usurious rates. The company was 'thus
fairly embarked in a business entirely pro
hibittd by its charter, and which no: only en
dangered the safety . Of, . depositors, but
showedg the. false idea Twhich the offic•are and
ditcetors had of the mode of conducting such an
institution." The hitt then sets forth the finan
cial operations orthe company, with allegations
of fraud, Scc., and the fact of an assigninent, and
the'bill prays th it the defendants may he com
pelled, by the decree of the Court, - to mike goal
to each and every one of tha orators, and salt
other depositors as may .becoate parties' to, the.
suit, the moneys by theurrispeetively depositUd
in said institution and not drawn therefrom, with
lawful interest: . .

WAsiirsGTOY, Dec. 21.--Severai hundred cra
plopis about the Capitol have not received any
pay for the last four months, owing to the fact
that the appropriation ran out. Many of their
fatnilles are reduced to great destitution. :"
The Deficiency Bill, defeated in the House yes
terday, , contained an appropriation , for, These,
men, and Mr. Washburn°, who had, charge
of the bill in the absence of Mr. Stevens, ap
pealed to the House to pass it, nn , the ground
that possibly somoOf the families of these parties
were "starving. • •
The House was in bad humor because the Se
nate cut cif the paper and stationery perqui
sites, and while the members' were afraid to
record Themselves against retrenchment, they,
avenged themselves by disagieeing to -the 80,-
nate amendment to pay employds, and thus
virtually defeated the other clause.euttinedown
The allowances for stationer}. It was notorioul;
that many members who have heretofore been
londest in their demands for retienehmept voted
yesterday with, those opposed to discontinuing
the stationery perquisites. ,
'Special De:match to the Philadelphia Evening Bunetin.)
IV.,snugGToN. Dec. 21.—Through mismanage
ment and an Inordinate desire to get home;
Congress has left several impoytatit subjects of
legislation In a disordered and half-finished con
dition.
The bill repealing the tax on cotton, which the
House has already passed, and which the Senate
has discussed to little purpose daring the past
week, is still pending in the latter body.
It is the opinion of parties well
acquainted with the merits of the case that
the failure -of- Congress to act upon this
measure before the first Of the new year - will
be productive of great mischief to the
cotton interest, and that the delay will
cause a light chip next year. Planters are de
sirous to know precisely what Congress will do
before they make their- contracts for the new
year, and numerous letters and petitions,
praying for llnmediate and decisive ac
tion of one kind or another, have
been received by Senators and members
during the,past week. Several Senators had pre
pared long speeches on the subject while the bill
was before the House, and it could not be passed
until oach Senator had unburdened his mind.
This is really the true cause Qf the delay.
[Special De, , patch ti the Philadelphia Vyening Bulletin.]
WASIMOTON, Dec. 21.—The Presi.;,ent is said
to have remarked, concerning the failure of the
bill striking the word "white" out of tho laws
of this District, that the members of Con
gress were more anxious to adjourn than to
carry out their professions lor the, rights of
the negro, and as it was known that ho
Intended to veto it, the defeat of the bill was
their own fault, not his. They Anew when
they aPpointed the time of the recess that
the ten days authorized by the Constitution
would not expire until Monday next, and he
alleges that the pressure of public business pre
ventcd him from preparing a veto at an earlier
day. Even had the veto been sent in yesterday,
the bill would have failed had the Democrats
pressed the matter to a vote, and it is known
that they intended to do so, as the Republicans
did not have two-thirds in the Senate any time
during the day. '

might add sufficient Strength to the other treaty in the
