YETO MESSAGE. Following is the full text of the President's message vetoing the River and Harbor bill : To the House of Bcpresentstives: Having watched with muoh interest the progress of House bill No. 6,212, entitled " An act making appropriations for the oonstruction, repair aud preservation of curtain works on rivers and li&rbors, and for other purposes," and having, since it was received, oarefulir examined it, after mature consideration I am coiistratned to return it herewith to the House of Bepresnniatives, in which it originated, without my signature and with my objections to its paaaagu Many appropriations m the bill are clearly for the general welfare and most beneficent in their character. Two of tho objects for which provision is made were by mo considered so important that I felt it my duty to direct to them the attontion of Congress. In my annual message in December last I urged tho vital importance of legislation for reclamation of tho marshes aud for the establishment of harbor lines along the Potomac front In April last, by special message, I recommended an appropriation, for the improvement of the Miasissippi river. It is not necessary that I say that when my signature would make tho bill appropriating for these and other valuable national objects a law it ia with great reluctance, and only under a sense of duty, tVat I withhold it My principal objection to the bill is that it contains appropriations for purposes not for common defense or general welfare, aud which do not promote commerce among tho 8tates. These provisions, on the contrary, are entirely for the benefit of the particular localities in which it is proposed to make the improvements. I regard such appropriation of publio money as beyond tho powers given by the constitution to Congress and tbe President I fool mora bound to withhold my signature from the bill because of peculiar evils which manifestly result from this infraction of the constitution. Appropriations of thi nature, tn be devoted purely 10 local objects, '.end to increase iu number and amount As cMiKens of one State find that money, to raise which, in common with tho wholo country, they am taxed, is to bo expended for local improvements in another State, they doniand similar benefits for themselves : and it is not unnatural that they should seek to indemnify themselves for inch of the ptiolic funds by securing appropriations for similar improve menu in their own neighborhood. Tim i, as the bill becomes n.oro objectionable, it secures more support. This result is inevitable, and niicessanly folio a-s neglect to observe tho constitutional limitations imposed on the lawmaking power. Appropriations: for river and harbor ira-frovem-entB faavti, under the influences to which have alluded, increased year by year out of proportion to tie progress of tho country, great as that hati been. Iu 187J the aggregate appropiiltion was 3,07&,9!0 ; in 1875, 6,B48,517.5(1 ; iu 1880, 8,97u,5U0, and in 1881, $11,4.11,300, while by the present act there is appropriated 18,743,875. Wl i'o feeling every disposition to leuve to the legislature tho reaponjil ility of determining what amouul should be appropriated for tho purposes of the hill, so long as nppt0iriiit.ou8 are confined to the objects indicated by tho grant of Congress, I cannot cscapo the fact that, as part of the law-making power of tho Government, the duty dcvolvi s upon mo to withhold my Bignature from a bill containing appropriations which, in my opinion, greatly cxceo.i in amount the needs of tho country for the present fiscal year. It kniug -.no usage to provide money for these purposes by an annual appropriation bill, tho President is in vffui't directed to expend so large an amount of money within so brief a period tbat expenditure can not be nude economically and ad'-Biitagcously. xtravnpant expenditure of publio mouoy is an evil not to be measured by tlio value of' that money to the people who are taxed tor it. They sustain greater injury in tho demoralizing offects produced upon those who are intrusted Kith official duly, I li rough all tbo ramifiralicni of government. These objecti-jus could be removed and ever oonsaiutiomil purpose readily obtained should Congress enact that one-halt only of the aggregate amount provided for iu tho bill bo appi opri ted for expenditure during the fiscal year, and that tho

sum so appropriated lx expended only for such

oojcot iwmou mino inn as uu secretary of War, under dutc'.ion of the President, shall determine ; truvided that in no case shall expenditure for any ono purpose exceed the sum now dcriiinatcd by Inil for that pnr-

Aooobdiho to the census of 1881, th folio wing ten towns of France have more than 100,000 inhabitants : Paris, 2,225,910; Lyons, 372,887; Marseilles, 357,530: Bordeaux, 220,995; LOle, 177,843; Tonloose, 136,627; Nantes, 131,965; St. Etienne, 120,120: Bonen, 104,721; Havre. 108.615,

One of the late oensus bulletins exhibits the number of farms in the United States in 188J, 1870, 1850 and 1850, and the rate per eent of increase f .-om 3,879 to 1880. Francis A. Walker, lato Superintendent of the Census, in a nolo nude before his retirement from office, said : ?he table shows no resulti which especially rt ruiro notice, except in the ease of Massachusetts. Tne fis ires for this State seem to provo t'mt the agricultural statistics of 1870 were tal:en very loosely, and that the uumbot of faims in the 8late'at that time was greatly understated. Th great iucreasein the nuinl-orof laruis from 1870 to 1880 in tho Northern, Western and Pacifio States and the IVmtoneb is of co irse satisfaciordy explained by the rapid settlement of those regions during tho past decade. The great increase iu the late siavo Stitt-s, especially m tbo cotton region, is readily accounted for by the subdivision of tho large plantations ot ion and twenty years ago, by reason of social and industrial changes coufcquent on tte war, and also, in the case of Florida, Arkansas and Texas, by immigration. Thb whole n'imbor of farms in the United Slates in 1870 was found to be 2,8C9,935. In 1880 the numbor was 4,008,907. The absolute increase from 1870 to 1880 was, according to the census, 1,1148,922 ; the rate per cont was 61. It ia obvious that if the computation was not accurate ii 1870, as poi.aibly it was not, the value of this comparison is correspondingly reduced. A slight variation in the mode of collecting s atistics in the two periods would, make a great ilfferezice in tho results. If, for example, strii t inquiry were not undo as to farms leased and farms owned, or farms worked on the share system at the time both enumerations nere m ade, or if the system, in accordance with which the two sets of returns were tabulated, duTorcd, the discrepancies would be veiy large. Inasmuch as Gen. Walker has confessed to the errors of 1870, generally and ipecificully, perhaps it will not bowise to attacii too much importance to the comparisons n ado in this table. The reporb d increase in the number of farms In New England was, as might be expected, comparatively slight In Maine it was 6 per cent, in New Hampshire 9 per cent, in Vermont 5 per cont, in Massachusetts (whore Gen. Walker points out a probable error in the census of 1870) 45 per cent, in Connecticut 20 per cent., in Ithode Island 16 per oent The increase in Ntw York was 11 per cent,, and in Pennsylvania 23 per cent The iSonthnrn States show a gratifying increase, most of which ia undoubtedly genuine, In the number of farms. Ia Virginia, whore 'die negroes hiive become landholders in larger numbers possibly than any other Southorn State, the ino ease is reported at 61 per cent, In South Carolina it is 81 per cent, hi Georgia 98 per cent, In Mississippi 50 per cent., in Louisiana 70 :er eent Kentucky and Tonnessee, where thii same causes have not operated to the aune o i tent, show but 41 per oent and 40 per eent ol increase respectively. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio report an increase of but 26, 20 and 26 per eent respectively. There has he on some breaking up of large farms in these States by deaths and other causes, and Much swamp and other waste land has been brought undor cultivation. Some of the increase in Illinois also has been due to the sale of railroid lands and tbe colli vat ion of pastures in consequence of the building of railroads. Tbe greatoit increase has boon, as was natural, in the far Northwestern States and the Territories. The increase in Iowa has been 59 per cent, in llinnosola, 99 per cent, in Dakota 914 per eent, in Or egon 1 14 per cent, iu Washington Territory 109 per cont The growth in the minder of farms has been healthy and norain.il. There have been no signs of a dinpouiuon to hold lands iu large qminthlfs except in California and Nurlhura Dakota, and iu the Southwestern States and Territories, where much of tho land can only be used profitably as oattlo-rangos. . It is, and will long continue to be, for tho interest of lha people at laigo that 'small farming shall be generally practiced in this country, and there i happily no present reason lo fear that there will soon be any serious departure from this custom.

THE WAR IK EGYPT.

The Origin of Tobacco. There has been not a little researoU -certainly as ranch as tbe matter deserves in regard to the firat discovery trad use of tobacco, but the subject is Btiil enTeloped in the clouds aud STioke of unoertninty. It has been claimed that tho use of tobacco -was known in China from very remote antiquity, ih it has been vary extensively cultiv.tied there hnd ill Jupaii, aud in some of ihe oldest pieces of carving and porcelain paintings much the same pipe as -that now used by the Chinese in smoking tobacco is represented. Somo conjecture that tlte North American Indians immigrated from Asia by way of Bekfiug straits to the American continent, bringing tobacco and certain Asiatic customs with them. The name tobacco or toliogo, is variously derived : by some f rom Tabaoco, a province of Yucatan; by others from Tobago, one of the Oirib islands; by a few from Tobasco, in the Golf of Florida; by Humboldt from the Carib name of the lube or pipe in which the Caribs smoke the herb, and which name ho thinks the early discoverers of the West Indies transferred to the plant itself, and disseminated through all Europe. When Columbus came ho found the red man smoking the pipe, and he is smoking it yet, though it is not illways the calumet, or pipe of peace. He found some tribes who made the weed into cylindrical rolls and smoked tk sae, wrapped in strips of maize leaf. Had the use of tobacco been common in China, even from remote antiquity, at some claim, it seems very probable that its use would have spread from theru to other nations, especially when we remember with what rapidity it extended after its discovery in this country, Jour centuries ago. And this rapid spread was despite the efforts of Kings, Popes and Hnltans to prevent it. King James L of England issued a " Counterblasts to Tobacco," declaiming against it as "loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, hurtful to tho brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black, stinking fumes thereof nearest resembling the horrible Btygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless, " Popes Urban VllL and Innocent XX fulminated against it tho thunders of the church, and priests and Sultans of Turkey declared smoking a crime; Amurath IV. punished its use by the most cruel deaths, the pipes of the smokers being thrust through tiinr noses; and in Russia, in the earlier pn.rt of the seventeenth century, the noses of smokers were cut off. But .in spito of all this, the use of tobacco rapiuly increased wherever introduced. Tobiicoo gets its botanical namit (nicotiana) f rom Jean Nioot-, who introduced it :into France from Lisbon in 1560.

THE "TIME-HONORED PRIXCIPLES' OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

A corrspondent who has been reading the resolutions adopted by the Demo

cratic State Convention of Texas wants

to know what are the ' time-honored principles" of the Democratic party. As far as the said Texas Democratic plat

form refers to national affairs, it is in

these words : " Tu e Texas Democracy declares its adherence te the time-honored principle

of the Democratic party. We are op

posed to class lecwlatiou, favoring one

class of people or one liueiness to the eletrimont of others ; opposed to the cen

tralization ot powers ol the uovernmenl in one department or under ono head, tho encroachment of which tends to the

creation of ' despotism ; opposed to na

tional banks. Wo are m favor ol honest money, consisting of gold and silvor and pftpeir convertible into gold and silver; favor a tariff for reveuue only ; favor a thorough refeirm of the civil service ; favor a lull, fair and free vote and a fair

count; favor free ships and a living chance for American commerce on the seas, and are opposed to auy discrimination in favor of one placo over another

by transportation hues. Our correspondent inquires if the

above piahks have been the creed of the

modern Democracy so long that it can

in truth be asserted that they have become " time-honored principles." The answer is that they are not all of them entitled .to any such distinction. State rights or opposition to centralization eiue tho nearest to being a " time-honored " principle of anything in the list, and a,s that theory of government ltd the South into secession aud civil war, ceistiug tho nation more than a million of

lives and billions of money, the Democratic party will not gain many converts

by making that pinnx tex conspicuous.

It rends well for the Democracy to tui-

minatc something about "centralization " once in a whilo, but the celebrated Kentucky Stato rights ro.olutions of 1798, whose authorship has been attributed to Mr. Jefferson, have become ob soletc since tho legitimate etonsequenccs

of that theory steeped tho nation in

blooei lor four weary, sejrrowfui yejurs. Ihe oppeMBtion ot the Democracy to

tho national banks has been determined antl consistent, and grows out of its blind adheroix'O lo tho traditions of tho past Its great high priest and prophet, Andrew Jackson, made war upon a na

ttorial bank, of which Nicholas ittddlc wa President, nnd his (Jackson's) con duet in removing the money deposits of the Government from it made the ques

tion of banking an issue with the old Whig party, and opposition to all een-ta ol banking" was umong the first lessons tunc'lit to the Jnclcsoniau Democracy

from that day to this. A mexleru Democrat never changer- nor progresses, il

he cuu help it, hut lie follows tue oreeei of hi fathers, and blindly opposes a

system of banking that has now become as much a public necessity as railroaels

and telegraphs. The conduct ot tue D mticrats in the present Congress iu

litrhtinsr the bill to extend the crmrters

ot the existing national banks is a case in point. That is about all there is in the Texas platform tbat deserves the name of 'trad-honored principles. " The balance has been recently admitted into

Iho Democratic creed, aud is Miuply an

effort to obtain votes upon false pre

tenses. Civil service must indeed be in

a bad wat wh.di ttio Tex is Democrats

mlvertiso themselves n favor of its re

form. All that is Intel and corrupt in

our present public service is a legacy

beeiueathed to us from tne om i-pous

system, which was a Democratic invention of the Jacksonian period. But as Texas was annexed to this country long after Jackson was President, it is not surprising that his admirers iu that se c tiou should not be well posted in respect

to that particular "timo-lionored prin

ciple."

IJut when we come to reatt suat ine Democracy of Texas is in iavor of a "full, fair and free vote, antl a fair count," the smile that the reading of the other parts of the platform provoked brealcs out into a loud laugh. In view of all we know about intimidation, bulldoaing, ballot-box stuffing, tissue ballots, etc., to the end of the long and disgusting chapter of election frauds in the South, to read of that guilty crowd favoring "a free ballot and a fair count" is really "too funny for anything." Feiur bulldozing Southern Democratic Cemgressmen who held their seats in the Fo.ty-seventh Congress by fraud nnd corruption have already been ousted, aud iheir places givtm to Republicans, arid a doze more similar cases are

avvailincr action. A free elcctfon anel a

fair count, indeed! ClucagQ Journal.

The Ohio Democratic Convention. The Ohio Democratic Convention was

the oce-asion of a trial of strength be

tween the so called " Mossbacks and the Toung Democracy. Senator Pendleton and John G. Thompson are the reo

ognized leaders of tho former faction,

aud J. W. Bookwalter. tho defeated can

didate for Governor last year, and John

E. McLean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer,

sustain the forlorn hope of the latter.

It is almos t a satire to speak of any portion of the Democratic party in Ohio or

elsewhere as "young." The party was

inm nld. The vountr men cradnate out

of it as speedily aa they can. But Book-

waiter and- Mctican nave cnosen io regard th(mselvea as endowed with pertiTivnl t fall ill mid (nullified bv an abund

ant lack of years and discretion to rally

persons of tender age about t he Democratic standards. At the instance of this faction of the party Bookwaller was nominated for Governor last year. He was ignominiously defeated, as everyboely knows, and the old party leaders were held responsible for his poor success. The object of Mcliean's pilgrimage to the State Cemvention was to punish there same leaders, Pendleton among tho number, ftir their inaction and apathy iu tho Bookwalter campaigm The punishment did not take place ao cording to the prooramme of ihe .- quircr. Peuelleton was not snubbed eir humiliated. On tao e-emtrary ho was made permanent Chairman of the con voniiou, and was greeted with Itoisterous and unprovoked applause whenever he spoke. Thompson was not degraded, and, though ho failed to be elected a memIter of the State Central Committee from his own district, ho wis oliosou from the Stato at-Large,aiidwasmttdeChairmauof the Executive Committee by his eolleiignes. The platform of the convention was thoroughly Pendletonosqneiii itscomp;sitiou. "Gentleman George" is a master of the art of pnttiug things so that they may bes misnuderhtood in a variety of ways. Since his gigantic straddle in ne National Democratic Convention of 1868 there no two tloctrines so diverse that he does not feel competent to harness them to tho same political chariot. We accordingly find his convention making this valualilo and perspicuous eleliveranee concerning the tariff: SeaohKd, That we favor a tariff levied lo meet tho actual needs ol the novel -ume-nt and so a-ljusled iu its details with a view to equ U'y in the public burdens as to encoursgo pr.iduot've mdnsiries and afford labor a just compensation without creating monopolies. The resolution, of exmrso, is meaningless, and was intended to tie so. Such is Gentleman George's idea of stat.iftmanship. Equally plain mid sinoero it the resolution relating to tho currency : Bemleetl, That stabilitv in the vshie of money ia . nr.,.lD rU1lii.lif t Irt illllll.lriul Slid l-Olll-

nioreial prosperity. Tips can only bo sroiircd by maintaining both gold and silver as money, as provided by the constitution, and subjecting

tho issue and regulaiion of papor money to established principles whioh will prevent fluctuation in the value of tho currency. Was it this " stability in the value of money " that Mr. Pendleton advocated in 1867 and 1868, when he urged tho payment of the bonds in greenbacks ? He did not seem to be specially anxious then to "prevent fluctuations in the value of currenoy," or to have any "established principles." Tho resolutions in opposition to monopolies and sumptuary legislation wero merely pro forma, and meant no htng. The latter was not as high a bid for the disaffected German vote as was expected, and Pendleton at the ratification meetiag spoilt its intended effect by saying: "The party has planted itself right upon the question that to-day agitates ;he neoiile of Ohio

I mean the traffic in intoxicating liquors and it has declared, while it U in favor of its taxation and its regulation, that it is iu favor also of maintaining the old standard of the Democratic

party ot opposition to all laws tbat are merely sumptuary and meddlesome with our neighbors." Taxation ud legislation are, to tho minds of the Ohio sa

loonkeepers, merely forms o? sumptuary i ... t . : mi - -1 . , , . . '

legraiauuu. ji ney iviu noi imvnK All. Pendleton for this deliverance. The dissensions iu the ranks of the Democrats of Ohio :aiust redound greatly to the advantage of the Republicans.

The Young Democrats had their inning last year, and they wero defeated through

tne apacny or trcaen. ry ot the " moss backs." The "moss backs" have carried

everything before them in fhe conven

tion this year: and now is the golden oi

portunity of the ronugsnf.-ra to have

tlieir revenge. Whether Cossio kills ltotlerigo, or lloderigo kills Oassio, either way makes tho gain of tho iiopublicauB. It would not bo at.i-nine if the Demo

cratic disaffection this year should more than make good tho Republican losses on account of the ciercivo teetotal folly of the party at Columbus last winter.

MR. TILLMAN'S! REALIZATION. (From the Chlcigo Inter iiccan. Mr. Tillman was indignant the other

day, when he was thrown out of his position as a Representative of South

CaroUna aud the uegro Robert Smalls

seated iu his pla.e. The aristocratic

Caucasian blood ol tho old geutlomnn fairly boiled. He perhajm realized for the first time the full force of the great reform movement ;hat culminated with tho surrender at Appomattox. It is surprising how men can live through events, read their recital, nd even take part in them, without realizing tho effect or importar.ee until it is brought homo to them in some vital personal way ; then it conies with concentrated force. So it seems to have been with Mr, Tillman, and Wednesday was the culmination of hii realization. It had evidently beou we-rkiug slowly through his mind ever sine,o the contest for his seat liegan, but there was no full realization until the final day. It is not verv stiamru that the realiza

tion should como so slon ly. It is '.rue that be k' ew he aad his friends sought to establish the Southern Confederacy, ith slavery as its -sorner-stone, and that alter tho wasting of rawch blood and treasure they clisiudremsly failed. It is truo that he knew ;hat by the proclamation of Abraham Line-olu every slave had b en uuaranteod in the constitution not only- his freedom, but all the politi e'.d and petsonat lights unjived by his white: fellow-citizens. All these things Mr. Tillman knew knww them as a school-boy knows his Isssou, without even dreaming of making any radical application of them to bis own lifo and actions. He com 3a from the Slate of South Carolina ; and when was there a tinio among the blue blonds of that State that it was not greater to be a South Carolinian than to be an American ? He knew those things, but he knew also that in his darling South Carolina they had been ignored a ud unheeded. Hokuew that though ho wits not held responsible lor the Itoard and care of the negroes, he had their menial services at lest cost, and under lacal laws and customs contreilled them almost, as absolutely. He knew that they were permitted to vote when, their vhito brethren with red shirts so desired it. He know, too, that: only so many of t :ieir votes were counted as wero necessary to make an outside show for the benefit of their Northern brethren. He know that, so far aa South Carolina was concerned, it was as absolutely under the control of its white citizens as in the days before the war. The idea that a Cknigresa of white men would give a " nigger" the seat ho claimed, even though his entire claim was founded on fraud, did not seem to have hud lodgment in his mind. It was not according to South Carolina oustoms. Fortunately all Congressmen lo not go freim South Carotin constituencies, but the majority fron political fields where fraud is held in nborreuce, where the right to vote is held sacreel, and whole tho right to vote carries with it the right to have thit vote counted. When Mr. Tillman's claims were examiucel by such men they failed to stand the test, and Robert' Smalls was seated in his place. Then ii was that Mr. Tillman's " tongue wiis loosed anel his month opened," and ot.t of the bitterness of his heart" his Tarda came. There were sorie things iu his words whioh indicated that at last he realized and ttceptd the "resi Its -of the war." He denounced the Democrats, who had given him only a mkewiurn support, and, turning to the Republicans, sitiel he should return to Congress, and that he wemkl be sent bask by negro votes. In giving utterance to those words, Mr. Tdlniau came over to the Republican side of his case. It wos because he anel his friends ostracised the negro voters of his elistriet, because they were driveiu away from tho polls, or their votes thrown out and uncounted, that Mr. Tillman was thrown out. If, however, he has made up his mi nd that the uepro has a right to vote and to have his vote counted, and that as a candielate ho will t:.y to spcuio that veite, Mr. Tillman has made a. long step toward the settlement eif what is talked of ns "sectional elifferences." If by securing the confidence o.f tho colored people he secures their votes, or a aufHciout number of them to make with olher votes an honest majori ty of tho voters of his district, then ha will tm welcomed to Congress by the sum ) people who now hail with deligl-.t his return to South Carolina. It is :iot the Tillmans of the South that the fight is against, but their methods. When tbeno methods are changed, when they so far forgot the days when they lnifb.fc and nold men, women und children and lived lordly and riotously em tho b'teiod-money, and ci.'ino to a full realization that these men are their follow citize.ua, whose rights and privileges f.re as precious as those of tho Tillmans. aud court him for his influence, aud loaue ho is part of the body po'itio and of n common interest with them, then the contest is ended.
