The following is President Grant's message to the Senate, containing his reasons for vetoing the bill for increas-- ing legal tender note3 and United States banE notes': To the Senate rfllie United States : Herewith, I return Senate bill No. 617, entitled "An act to fix the amount of United States notes and the circulation ot National Banks and1 for other purposes,"- without ray -approval. In do lupso, I must express my regret at not beigg able to give rpy assent to a meas ure which has received the sanction ot a majority ot legislators, chosen by the people to make laws for their guidance and have sought to find sufficient ar gument to justify such assent, but un (Successfully. Practically, it is a-ques tion whether the measure under discus, sion would giie an additional dollar to the irredeemable paper currency of the country or not, and whether "by requir ing three fourths of the reserves to be retained by the banks and prohibiting interest to be received on balances it might prove a contraction. But the fact cannot be concealed that, theoret ically, the bill increases the paper cir culation one bundled million dollars, less only the amount ot reserves re strained from circulation by the pro visions ot the second section. The measure has been supported on the theory that it would give an increased circulation- It is fair inference there fore, that if in practice the measure should fail to create tho abundance of circulation expected of it, the "friends of the measure, particularly, thoso out of Congress, would clamor for such in fl.uion as would give the expected re lief. The theory, in my belief, is a de parture from thu true principles of finance, National interest, National obli gations to creditors, Congressional promises, pledges on the part of politi. cal partiesand of the personal views and promises made by me in every an nual message sent to Congress, and in each inaugural address. In my annual address to Congress ot Decembert1869, the loljowing passages appear: . . "Amioiijj tlie eiils glowing out of the Rebellion is that of an irredeem able currency. It is an evil which I hopo will receive your most earnest attention. It is the duty and one of the highest duties of the Government to secure to the citizen a medium of exchange, of fixed, unuiiu; value. This implies a return to specie basis, and jio substitute tor it an be leised. It should be commenced Miow and reached at the earliest practicable mo nient consistent with -a fair regaid to the interests to the debtor class. Im mediate usiimplion, it piacticable, would nut be desirable. It would com pel the debtor class to pay beyond iheircoiiliacts, the premium on cold at the dale ot their purchase, and would bring bankruptcy and i uiu tuthousauds. Fluctuation, however, iu the paper alue ol the-ineasureot all values, gofd, is detrimental to the interests of trade. It makes the man ot business an invol untary gambler; lor in saies where tuture payment is to be made, both parties speculate' as to what will be the value ot the currency to be paid and reeei ed. I earnestly recommend to yon such legislation as will inure a cradual re turn to specie payments, and put an immediate stop to fluctuations in the alueol currency." I btill adhere to the views' then ex pressed. As early as December 4, 1 865, the House of Representatives passed a resolution by a vole of 144 to 6, con curring in the views ot the Secretary ot thtsJTnjasury n relation to the- ne oevsiiy lor a contraction of the currency with the view ol as early a resumption ot specie payment as the business inter ests of the country would permit, pledging cooperative action to this end as speedily a- possible. The first Act passed by the Forty first Congress, on the 18th ot March, 16G9, was "An aot to strengthen the public credit ot the United States." Here the Act referred to is inserted in full. This Act still remains as a pledge of the taith ol the United States to make provision at the earliest prac ticable moment for a redemption ot Uniied States notes in coin. The dec laration contained in the Act ot June 20, 1804, created the obligation that the total amount of United Stales notes issued or to be issued should never ex ceed fouHiundred million dollars. The amount in circulation was actually re duced to three hundred and fifty six millions, at which point Congress pass ed the Act ot February 4, 1868, sus- pendinga turtber reduction ot currency. The forty-four million .have ever been regarded as a reserve, to be used only in a case of emergency, such as have occurred on several occasion", and must occur when from- any cause the revenues suddenly fall below the ex penditures, and such reserve is neces sary, because the fractional currency, amounting lo fty, million, dollars, is redeemable in Ieal-tendera on call. It may1 be said that such return ot frac tional currency for redemption is im probable, but let steps ibe taken - for '& return to a specie basis and it will be found that silver will take-t,he place ot fractional currency as rapidly as itcan be supplied. When the premium on gold reaches a sufficiently low point, with the amount of United Stales notes to be issued fixed permanently within proper limits, and the Treaury is strengthened as to be able to redeem them in coin on detuaed, it will be safe .to inaugu rate a, system of free banking, with ttisfura 1-ii-mrtcirt.ria on ts mnL'a iftTiinili3fti'tr the redemption of circulating notes o.fMlj treachery, J. soldier without . " Inrtiolt.v onn n vit.finv ivllliont murmur. banks, in coin or United States notes themselves redeemable and made equiv alent to coin. Asa measure preparatory to free banking1, or for placing the Govern ment in a position to redeem its notes in coin at the earliest practicable mo ment, the revenues ol the country should be increased, so as to pay the current expenses; provide, for, the sink ing fund required by law and also a surplus to be retained in the, Treasury in gold. I am not a believer in any artificial method ot making paper money equal to coin, when the coin is not owned or held ready to redeem these promises to pay; for paper money is nothing more than promises to pay, and valuable ex aclly in proportion to the amount of coin it can be converted into. While coin is not used as a circulating me dium and the currency ot the country is no con very Die into u ai par, n De comes an article ot commerce as any product. The surplus will seek a for eign market, as will any other surplus. The balance'of trade has nothing to do with the question. Duties on im ports be'iDg lequired in coin, creates a limited demand tor gold and about enough to satisfy that remains' in the country. To increase this supply I see no way open but by the Goxern- meut boarding through the means above given and possible by requiring National Banks to aid. It is claimed by the advocates of tho measure Herewith returnedv that theie is an unequal distribution ot the bank ing capital of the country. I was dis- Dobcd to. cive weight to tins view ol the question at first, but on reflection it will be remembered there stills re--mains 8100,000,000 ot unauthorized bank note circulation, assigned to Slates, having their quota, not yet taken. In addition to this, btaies Iiav- ri! lees than their quota of bank cir culation, have the option ot $200,000, 000 more, to be taken from those States having more than their propor tion. "When this is all taken up, or when specie payments are fully restor ed, or are in rapid ptocess ot restora tion, will be the time to consider the question of more currency. U. &.URAXT. Wife-Catciiisg. T h e marriage ceremony is performed curiously by the .Esquimaux. When a boy kills a Hilar hi'.ir. ft is considered sufficient proof ot his ability to maintain a lamily; he is therefore told to0 and catcb a wile. Watclun;' Ins opportunity at night, he pounces on a victim and at tempts to carry her off. She, however, struggles and shrikes until she has col Iected around her a group ot sympa thizers. She then turn upon her cap tor, aud biles and scratches him until he is obliged to release her, then she darts into the crowd and attempts to escape. The expectant bridegroom foilows-her, but not unmolested. All the-old women take scourges ot dritd seal skin and flagellate him unmerci fully as he passes, making at the same time every effort to arrest him iu his course. If, despite these little impedi ments to matrimonal bliss, he should catch his victim, tbe'biting and scratch ing scene is renewed, and, in all prob ability, he is compelled to release her, and the chase, with its attendant dis comforts, is resumedt Should he over come all obstacles, the third capture proves effectual, and the victim, ceas ing her struggles, is led away amid the acclamations and rejoicings ot the as sembled multitude. Washington-, APrl1 24. The Presi dent has received a request from the President of the Agentine Republic ak:ng the privilege of placing at the West Point Academy six young men, graduates ot the military school .estab lished by that republic. The Argen tine Government proposes to pay the expenses of the young men. As the President has no authority in'the prem ises, the letter has been laid before the House Committee on Military Affairs for action. A clergyman "with a keen eye to bus iness recently -attended 'a funeral in. Howland.'Me., and before the corpse had. been 'taken to the'grave made opt a bill at five dollars for his 'services and gave it Info the bands ot a cousta- eus lor couecuon. CHARACTER OF" GEN. LEE. In hi.. late speech, delivered at At. lanta, Gen. B. F. Hill. pays his, deserv ed tribute to the character of "Robert JLLee "When the future historian cornea to survey the character ot Lee, he will find it' rising like a huge mountain above the undulating plain ot humanity, and he will have to lift his eyes high toward heaven to catch its summit. He possessed every virtue of tho other great commauders witboul tbeir vices. He .was a foe without hate, a friend cruelty, and a victim without murmur- ing. He was a public omcer without vices, a private citiz'en without wrong, a christian without hypocrisy, and a man without guile. He, was Ctesar without his ambition, Frederick with out his tyranny, Napoleon wilhput his selfishness, and Washington without bis reward. He was obedient to au thority as a servant, aud royal in au thority as a true king. He was as gentle as a women in life, modest aud pure as a virgin in thought, watchlul as a Roman vestal in duty, submissive to law as Socrates, and grand in .bat tle as Achilles." Changes of a Century. The nine teenlh ceulury has witnessed many and great discoveries. In 1808 Fulton took out the first pat ent lor the invention ot a steamboat. The first steamboats which made regular trips across the Atlantic Ocean were the Sirius and Great Western, iu 1830. The first public application to prao tice the use ot gas lor illuminating was made iifl802. In 18l3 the streets of, London were tor the first time lighted wi(h gass. In 1813 there was built at Waltham, Mass., a mill believed to have been the first in the world, which combined all the requirements for .making finished cloth Irum raw goods. In 1790 there were only twenty-five post offices in the whole country, and up tor JS37 the rates of postage were twenty live cents tor a letter sent over tour hundred miles. In 1P07 wooden clocks commenced to be made by machinery. I his ushered in the era of cheap clocks. About the year 1813 tho first,.rail- road of any considerable length in the United Stales was constructed. In '1829 the first experiment in pho tography was made by Dajjuerre. About 1840 the first express business was established. The anthracite coal business may be said to hae begun in 1820. In 183C the first patent for the in vention of matches was granted. Iu 1845 the first telecram was sent. Steel pens were introduced tor use in 1830. The first successful reaper was con structed in 1833. In 184G Elias Howe obtained a ent lor the first sewing machine. pat- Be (TuiEFDL. Emerson says : "Do not hang a dismal picture on the wall, and do not deal with sables and gloom in your conversation." Beecher fol lows with : "Away with these fellows who go howling through Hie and all the while passing lor birds of paradise He that cannot laugh and be cay should look well -to himself. He should fast and pray until his face breaks forth into light." Talmage then takes up the strain : "Some peo ple have an idea that they comlort the afflicted when they groan over them. Won't drive a hearse through a man s soul. When you bind up a broken bone of the soul, and you want splints, do not make them of cast-iron." After such counseling and. admonitions, lay aside your long faces. Old man Bender and his wife, the famous Kansas murderers, have at last been arrested and taken back to Kan sas for trial. A Kansas telegram ot the 26ili8ays: "There was gjeat excite ment at Topeka, yesterday, over the arrival ot old man Bender and his wife. Thousands flocked around the j nl to seethe butchers, who were fully identi fied by many who had seen them when in Kansas." It has been almost a year sincd their crimes were exposed and their cscap-j known, and they hive been unceasingly tracked ever since by shrewdest detectives, without success until a few days ago, wihen an accident revealed their whereabouts and se cured their capture. Some boiler makers at Dubuque put a boy in a boiler to hold., a hammer head to the rivets as they were driven in, and when all was completed he was found too big to come out ot the, hole. He stripped to the buff and greased his 6kin, but it was po nse and it took, six, men three hours to cut, the solid boiler irou before "he could be got; out. , tLove is .an egotism of. two.
