Verily, the day of deliverance for ;
the oppressed South draws near wheni
Morton .and his followers threaten
to leave the Republican party. The
veto of the expansion bill has precip
itated what would have come inevit
ably anyway after a while. A tele
gram informs us that Morton, Logan,
Terry and other leaders of expan
sion held a protracted couferenceWed
nesday night and another Thursday
afternoon for the purpose of agreeing
upon some line of action to pursue
when the finance bill comes up again
next week. Sentiments of dire eon-
demnation of the President's action
were vehemeutly expressed. There
is serious trouble ahead, indicating a
permanent rupture between Grant
and the men who inaue him Presi
dent. Logan will openly denounce
the veto in the Senate; and Morton
will never forgive this action on the
part of the Executive.
THE VETO,
Text of tbe inewage.
"Wa.shingt.6n, April 22.
The President has vetoed the fi
nance bill. His message, which was
sent to the Senate to-day, is as fol-
lows:
Executive Mansion, April 22.
To the Senate of the United States :.
Herewith I return the Senate bill,
017, entitled "An act to fix the
amount of United States notes, and
the circulation of national banks, and
for other purposes," without ray ap
proval. In doing so I must express
my regret at not being able to give
my assent to a measure which has re-'
ceived the sanction of a majority of
the legislators chosen bv the people
to make laws for their guidance.
The theory, in my belief, is a de
parture from the true principles of
finance, national interest, national
obligations to creditors, Congressional
promises, parly pledges on the part
of both political parties, and of the
personal views and promises by me
in every annual message sent to Con
gress, and in each inaugural address.
A declaration contaiud in
the act of June 30th, 1864, created
an obligation that the total amount
of United States notes, issued or to
be issued, should never exceed four
hundred millions of dollars. The
amount in actual circulation was
actually reduced to three hundred
and fifty-six millions of dollars, at
which point Congress passed the act
of February 4th, 1868, suspending the
further reduction of the currency.
The forty-four millions have ever
been regarded as a reserve, to be used
-only in case of emergency, such as
ha occurred on several occasions,
and must occur whenever receipts
suddenly fall below expenditures; and
such a reserve is necessary, because
the fractional currency, amounting
to fifty millions, is redeemable in
legal-tenders. It may be said that
' such a return of fractional currency
for redemption is impossible, but
steps may be taken for a return to a
specie basis, and it will be found that
silver will take the place of fractional
eurrencv as rapidly as it can be sup-
plied when the premium in gold
reaches a sufficiently low point.
With the amount of United States
notes to be issued, permanently fixed
within proper limits, and the treasury
so strenghtened as to ! aoie to re
deem them in coin on demand, it
wm It A afp to inaugurate a
system of free banking, with such
provisions as to make compulsory re
demption of the circulating notes of
the banks in coin or in United States
notes, themselves redeemable and
made equivolent to coin. As a meas
ure ureDaratorv to free banking
or for placing the Government
in a condition to redeem
its notes in coin at the earliest
practicable moment, the revenue of
the country should be increased so as
to pay current expenses, provide for
the sinking fund required oy law, ana
also a surplus to be retained in the
treasury in gold. I am not a believer
in any artificial method of .making
paper money equal to com wnen me
coin is not owned or held ready to re-
ueem tne promises w yayi
money is. nothing more ..man promises
to pay. It is valuable exactly in pro
portion to the amount of coin that it
can be converted into. While coin is
not used as a. circulating medium, or
the currency of the country is not
conyertibleinto it at par, it becomes
an article of commerce as much as
any other product, and the surplus
will seek a foreign market as will any
other surplus. The balance of trade
has nothing- to do with the question
Duties on imports being required in
coin creates a limited demand for gold.
About enough to satisfy that demand
remains in the country. To increase
the supply I see no way open but by the

government hoarding through the
means above given, aud possibly by
requiring the national banks to" aid.
It is claimed by the advocates of the
measure herewith returned, that there
is an unequal distribution of the
banking capital of the country. I
was disposed to eive great weight to
this view of the question at first, but,
on reflection, it will be remembered
that there still remains $4,000,000 of
authorized bank notes in. circulation
assigned to States having less than
their quota not yet taken. In addi
tion to this, the States having less
than their quota of bank circulation
lave the option ot twenty-five mil-.
ions more, to be taken from those
States having more tFfan their pro
portion. When this is all taken up,
or when specie payments are fully
esioreci, or are in rapid process or
restoration, it will be time to con
sider the question of ''more currency."

of the boarders, happening to be in the
house at the time, rushed to the room and
found two mattresses on one of the bed
steads in a light blaze, but by proper exer
tions the flames were soon subduedi The
mattresses were about half consumed, how
ever, before the fire was discovered. It is
supposed that it must have originated
from a spark from a pipe of cigar. There
was no alarmtfen the street.

Mr. W. H. Milburn delivered his lecture
on "What a Blind Man Saw in Paris" to a
very fine audience at the Opera House last
night. Mr. Milburn is certainly one of the
most attractive -speakers we have ever
listened to, and this, we take it, is the uni
versal impression made upon the minds of
those who were so fortunate as to be pres
ent on the occasion of his two lectures
here. His fund of information seems to
be inexhaustible, and, for a blind man, it
would appear almost a miracle that he
should be able to glean so many facts
f interest in reference to the character
and habits of the people he has
visited. He is truly a "blind man elo
quent," and his vivid, wonderfully beauti-
full and thrilling word-picturings of life in
"Sunny France" will long leave its impress
upon the minds of those who heard him.
Death of a Sea Captain.
Capt Burton, of the schr. Annie Virden,

last. Capt. Burton was a resident of Bur

and leaves no family. His remains, we un

Jnveulle Opera.
On Wednesday evening next, at the
Opera House in this city, a juvenile , opera,
known a.-, tin " Palace of Industry," will be

Church, and will be gotten up in a style of
magnificence and effect which will consti
tute it altogether one of the most enjoyable
exhibitions witnessed in this city in a long
time.
The Crossings.
As it seems that there is not enough flag
stone on hand to lay the crossings for which
proposals are already advertised, and as it
appears improbable that the crossings on
Seventh street will be supplied with this
article for some time to come, we would
suggest that marl be used for that purpose.
It would not cost much and would make
very respectable crossings. Something of
the kind is badly needed.
Lutheran Synod.
The Evangelical Lutheran Synod of
North Carolina will convene in this city on
Wednesday next, the 29th inst, at 10 A.
M. The ministers and lay delegates will
arrive by tne evening trains on tne aay
previous. The introductory sermon will
be preached on Wednesday morning at the
above hour by Rev. S. Rothrock, President
of the Synod. It should be understood that
this Sj'nod does not embrace the entire ju
risdiction of North Carolina, as most of
the churches and ministers west of the Ca
tawba River are connected with the Ten
nessee Synod.
Board or Aldermen.
A special meeting of the Board of Alder
men was held yesterday afternoon, the
members of the Board all being present.
The Mayor.having explained the object
of the meeting, the Board proceeded with
the election of five Commissioners of Navi
gation and Pilotage for the ensuing year,
whereupon the following persons were elect
ed: Jas. H. Chadbourn, B. G. Bates, Eli
Murray, Geo. Harriss, Henry Davis. , ,
The Committee on Finance, through Al
derman Grainger, submitted a statement
that it was necessary to provide for raising
funds to defray temporarily the necessary
expenses of the city, prior to tbe collection
of the city taxes.
The following was thereupon adopted:
Resolved. That in anticipation of city
taxes, the Finance Committee be and are
hereby empowered to borrow such an
amount qf money from time to time and on
such terms as they may deem advisable, for
the purpose of paying the necessary ex
penses of the city!
A resolution was adopted that a Special
Committee, consisting of the Mayor and
Aldermen Moore and Adrian, be appointed
to make such arrangements with the Caro
lina Central Railway Company, as they may
deem best for the city, with regard to the
opening of Front, Brunswick and Harnett
streets.
The Board then adjourned.

The following cases were disposed of yes

John Labay, charged with drunkenness
and disorderly conduct on the streets, was
found guilty and required to pay a fine of
$5 or work on the streets for ten days.
James Swann, charged with being dis
orderly and drinking (something stronger
than coffee, it is supposed), was found guil
ty and required to pay a fine of $10 or work
for twenty days on the streets.
Geo. E. Burden, charged with insulting
a policeman. Case continued until 9 o'clock

magistrates Courts.
. A colored youth, answering to the name
of James Spann, with a lead pencil slicking
carelessly behind one ear, and who is evi
dently of a shrewd and enterprising turn,
was arraigned before Justice T. M. Gard
ner, j'e8tcrday morning, on the charge of
obtaining goods under false pretenses. The
circumstances, as we learn them, are as
follows: Spann was in the employment of
a boarding house keeper on Second Street,
and on Wednesday morning he went to
market to get a lot of chickens for his em
ployer. He went to a cart and picked out
several fine hens, with which he was about
to depart when he was stopped by the
owner, who reminded him that they had
not been paid for. Spann wanted to know
if the countryman considered that he was
intending tojsteal them. The gentleman re
marked that he had known such things to be
done during his experience in marketing,
and upon being told that the proprietor of
the boarding house would pay for them,
our country friend sent his assistant with
Spann to see if it was all right. Here
turned with the information that it. was.
So far all correct Thursday morning,
however, Spanu made his appearance in
market again, went to the same cart and
selected six fine fowls and five dozen of
eggs, giving the countryman to understand
that they were for the same party. Under
this impression he was allowed to' take
them off. Subsequently, however, upon
calling upon the proprietor of the boarding
house for his money, our friend was in
formed that Spann had been discharged
from his employment the day previous and
that he was not authorized to purchase the
chickens and eggs. A warrant was there
upon issued for the arrest of Spann.
Upon hearing the evidence. Justice Gard
ner required defendant to give security in
the sum of $200 for his appearance at
Court, in default of which he was commited
to jail.

NOTICE,
I WOULD MOST RESPECTFULLY CALL THE
attention of the citizens to the fact that the
warm and sickly season is near at hand, and it be
comes my duty to adopt the most stringent sanitary
measures at this particular time to preserve the
health of the city and prevent the introduction of
disease that may originate from foul and unwhole
some matter, filth, garbage, trash and refuse matter
which has a tendency to create unwholesome and
offensive odors. In order to prevent as far as pos
sible the spread of those diseases peculiarly incident
to this season of the year I would most respectfully
solicit the co-operation of the citizens generally in
placing our city in Buch a sanitary condition as to
render it as far as practicable impregnable, at least
to those diseases which originate from foul and u -wholesome
matter. To this end the entire force of
the city will he employed In cleansing, draining,
cleaning, disinfecting and removing trash, &c, for
at least the next fifteen or twenty days. All persons
are requested to have the trash, offal, refuse mat
ter, &c, cleaned from their premises and placed
upon the streets, whence they will be removed im
mediately. When it is convenient please use boxes
or barrels.
Persons needing disinfectants can have the same
free of charge by calling at my office.
The health officers, designated by a yellow rosette,
may be notified of any stagnant water standing upon
any lot, or damp cellar, or anything that would im
pair the health of the city, and any complaint lodged
at this office shall reeeive prompt attention.
Believing that a proper sanitary condition adopt
ed now, at this early season, will insure a healthy
summer I earnestly solicit the aid and co-operation
of all the good citizens to accomplish this good end.
Respectfully, &c,
ap28-tf
