I Vetoes. I -y Baltimore Sun . h In the history of the United States the exercise of tne veto power nas many cu rious circumstances connected with it. There have been but ninety-three vetoes since the adoption of the constitution, and many of these were merely pro forma, to enable. Congress to rectify clerical errors or the like. The power was very seldom ex ercised in the early days of the govern ment. Washington vetoed only two bills,' one because the matter of it was impracti cable, the other because the measure was unjust. John Adams never vetoed a bill, nor did Jefferson. Madison vetoed six, one of which was a pocket veto; three be cause the measures were unconstitutional. Monroe vetoed only one bill. Monroe ve toed only one bill. ' John Quincy Adams vetoed none, mor did Van Buren, Harri son, Tavlor of Fillmore. Jackson vetoed eleven tills, chiefly for reasons growing out of his intense personality and to en force his strorig political opinions. Tyler vetoed nine bills, in a great measure be cause there was a flagrant antagonism be tween him aud Congress in regard to inter nal improvements ,and, the tariff. Polk yetoed three bills'' PJeree nine, and Bucha nan four, bat two of these were for mail contractors relief. Lincoln only5 vetoed one bill, and that was a joint resolu tion (of correct clerical errors in a revenue act, ,and only in order that all er rors in the act might be covered by the resolution. Andrew Johnson vetoed seventeen bills, the antagonism be tween h inland Congress being persistent, but even he did not veto any general ap propriation bUl. Grant vetoed no less than twenty-six tills, but the mostof these were trivial matters, and the reasons as signed were various showing in a curious fashion tBCalwotutety non-political charac ter of bis to&iHayaT - fias "vetoed four bills. There bar been but eight vetoes of general, appropriation. ,hills--three by Jacklqpl 6f by Tjler, lone by Polk, one by Pierce and one py Hayes but in every case but the last it was a river and harbor appropriation, or somethiog of that sort, that was .vetoed-1 In - ao case before the present one has there ever been a veto of a bill appropriating funds for the mainte nance of one of the great departments ,xf the Government Congress has often as sumed the respsnsibility of allowing such bills to ail on account of a disagreement between the" two bouses, but when this has happened the President has once called an extra 8easiod,-hd kkme ?fl that s io his power to' prevent the machinery of the Government from being stopped.

He Defends tne 4od Name f no People oi Ills District TIm Ser pent in the Fable Garfield Point ofOrder ICltehla's Able Vlixlleatlon. Raleigh AWt. Washington, May 1. Tolav. in v. Honse of Representatives, Kitchin, of the Second District, got the floor to tnw. . personal explanation in regard to a speech purported to have been made by Mr. Rug. sell, from the Wilmington District, in th TT . a 1 n Hit m a MJ nouse on ine inn 01 April, in which he used language reflecting upon Kitchin and his election. He stated that hA it been for frauds in Kitchin's and the PW. ida District, the House would now be in the hands of the Greenb&rlror. Mr. Kitchin said, oa amine . that the gentleman was not in his seat hewenW not make any personal remarks; that he would have something to say hereafter; at preseut he would only speak in defense of the people of his district He then nro. ceeded to say that he was not surnns that the crentleman should violate ever parliamentary rale, and every rule of de cency arid honor. As he had been a Radi cal judge lor six years in North Carolina .1 .ti it. 1 . . auu luai me skbicu 01 mm snows, which was written by himself in the Congres sional Record, that he was elected to that position before he had obtained his license to practice law. That -it was left to the gentleman to assail the people of eu own own State, and like the serpent in the fable, to wound the bosom that warmed him into life. That if the gentleman, in what he had said about fraud in elections, and offi cers holding the election being in the Penitentiary, referred to anything that oc curred in his (Kitchin's) district, it wassim ply a falsehood and a base slander. At this point Garfield sprang to his feet mach excited and called Kitchin to order, and desired his words to be taken down by the Clerk. The Speaker stopped Kitchin, and directed the words objected to by Mr. Garfield to be taken down. When they were read by the Clerk the Speaker decid ed that, as the gentleman had declared his intention at the outset of his remarks to say nothing personal of his colleague oa this occasion, but to reserve all personal remarks for some future occasion, when the gentleman, Mr. Russell, should be io his seat; that he had not violated the rules of the House, and could proceed, which decision was received with loud peala of laughter from both sides of the House. It was understood that Randall did not con sider Kitchin's remarks personal when applied to a native North Caroliana radi cal. As there was no appeal from the Speaker's decision, this seemed to be the unanimous opinion of the House. After order was restored, which took about five minutes rapping with thec Speaker's gavel, Kitchin proceeded to viir dicate the people of his district of the charges made by Mr. Russell in his own fearless and manly style. He showed, in the course of his remarks, that the rea son of his election as a Democrat in a dis trict with a negro majority, that his opponent (O.Hara, a negro) was not a citizen of the United States, being a native of the Island of St Croix, and had never been naturalized. This he showed from the sworn affidavit from O'Hara himself, made in a proceeding for naturalization, which had? never been consummated; and this was known to the people of the District, and proclaimed in a circular published by the Republican Executive Committee which Mr. Kitchin caused to be read by the Clerk. The Democratic representa tive from the Second District is winning fresh honors every times the floor. NE W AD VER TISEMENTS. WHAT WILL TBE WEATHER BE TO-MORROW? i. : . .
