TUB VETO. The president has sent to the .house a message vetoing the deficiency ap propriation bill. The veto message is About three-quarters of a column in length. The president's principle objection to the bill' is contained in the conclHafflg asBagD'arfdllowB r * * "The bill gives a marked and delib erate sanction , attended by no circum stances of pressing necessity , to a questionable , and , as I am clearly of opinion , the dangerous practice of tacking upon appropriation bills gen eral and permanent legislation. The practice opens a "wide door to hasty , Inconsiderate and sinister legisla tion. Itinvites attacks upon .the Independence and constitutional powers of the executive , by providing an easy and effective way of conrfrain- " Ing the executive discretion.

Pending debate the morning hour expired.uL\r , , , - * . . . fj Vest spoke in favor of the Spofford- . .h-eljogg resolution , , , ' - ' /ISij'W T T7i r t * , _ } Senator Vest said that he. proposed to introduce nothing more partisan tEEn theriatnre of "tho"issue necessari ly involved. s > The minority report contained no argument or reason but only abuse " and reflection upon the character "of senators on this side of the chamber. Their righteous indig nation lies in the fact that the major ity don't construe ; the constitution as they do ; and contrary to what they believe is Tight , declare that Kellopg is entitled to a seat in this senate. But the main-feature of the minority report is the charge of disloyalty made-'igainst.those senators for seatg that were in the rebellion or Eyinpa th izod with the rebellion. This is a gran-i argument. Those who do not vot/j the republican ticket are disloyal. This ia a sufficient one. What proof have Lougstreet , Mosby and Key , postmaster-general , givou of their tor- rowf6V having gone into the'rebollfonP or of their allegiance to the country ? Nothing more than their joining thts ranks of the republican party. He passed into a review of the his tory of the Packard Jegislatnre , and" declared that it never had a legal ex istence. The principal objection to the unseating of Kellogg on this rade of the senate chamber -comes fi.vm southern senators and not from r.orth- ern. He then took up the armament of'res " adjudicata , and maintained that'the eliato had power-to - jre-open the case. Senator Carpenter asked' whether ? the judgment of the senr ; e jn fa case of a disputed seat was , nol final Senator Vest Never 'during the term of any5senator cap tno Benate be stopped from a judjr ment on the legality of hw title ; - M ionre js the state is not represented in iho senate the right remains. Senator Carper'tar _ Wh 8hould this ru o of ' 're- adjudcafa" ; apply in judicial eourlr . and ot apply h ro Senator t The fallacy of the Sf f f 'Osition liesin his assumption that tnu flenate js aitting as a court'on tha r , ! ats of their members. It is Profv' dod in the constitution that the * ta .e'should be represented by sena V - JtSl < - SenatorCarpentar It Is immaterial whether we say wo are a court or not , we are to examine facts and thenforn " judgments. This is judicial action , and-it is immaterial whether you col ] . it'juHicial or legislative proceeding * . The principle involved is. whether a case that oncahas been decided can be ro-opened ; this is a question of righl between individuals. Senator Vest Then eccording to the senator the state of L9usiana ( has nothing to do with this question. Senator Carpenter Nothing'at "all. Senator Yost resumed his argument. Ho quoted from testimony and created a great deal of amusement by quota tions of contradictions and evasive statements made by witnesses. He said that he referred to the testimony simply tu show the class of men that the republican party placed in author ity over southern states. Kellogg de termined to act expeditiously and be fore the storm of reform had swept trim and his associates into deserved oblivHmT HJwbuld rovWo-fcr him self by receiving the election to iho. United States senate. Ho had been Fraudulently elected governor of Louisiana for four year-according , to reports signed by the senator from Wisconsin . ( Carpenter ) , the senator from Massachusetts ( Hoar ) and the vice-president. Senator .Hoar The report contains no reference to the election of Kel logg , but to the election of state offi cers in 1874. Senator Vest But it was exactly ; ho same returning board , and if this was true in 1874 it must have been true in 1872 and 1876. He then went on to speak of the rewards which had icen conferred upon members ot the egislaturo and other friendijof Kel- oggrrTo sum-up the whole , .said.hQj , ho presidency returning board is $230,000 $ , mainly civil appropriations. Dhia , then , is the price of the presi dency. The sum of $1750 , however , was omitted , which Hayes and Sher- nan last summer paid to Oassanave n payment of judgment against him n the courts as a member of the re timing board. Senator Yest road a letter written > y Cnssanavo describing his tour Among the friondi of the adndnlstnT- ion begging for their money. _ _ He upplicd to Secretary Sherman , "who iffered him $1000 , but ho refused it int of respect for the great financial ffioer of tha government. Finally , towever , the money was paid by Pros- dent Hayes and Secretary Sherman. Iow , why did they pay that money ? Yhat was the obligation } But this ransactiou bas become a part of the ilstory of the greatest fraud ever > factlced on legislative rights. Senator Yest devotecVthe remain- er of his speech to a description of be industrial prosperity of the South- rn states as the best answer to the harge so widely circulated that con- taut war was waged on the colored ooplo. Tha chair appointed Senators ieck , Withers , and Allison a coufer- nco committee on the Indian appro- riation bill. Senator Hamliu called up the bill o facilitate the negotiation of a reaty with Iho government of Nic- raugua. Senator Edmunddnovod the ill bo considered in sections. At 4:10 pvm. the doors were closed and after a short session the bill-was az'scd in open session as reported rom the committee. fter executive session the senate djourned. HOUSE.

NASHVILLE , May 4 noon The pro ceedings of tha republican state con vention , to meet hero Wednesday , to appoint twenty-four delegates to the Chicago convention , and to nominate a candidate for governor , rail be marked with : confusion and excitement , as far aa could.ba ascertained from numerous delegates. Already in east and west Tennessee delegations are divided be tween Grant , Blaine and Sherman , whilein Middle Tennessee , the xlelegatiou will bo nearly solid for Grant. The majority of the convention will favor the appointment of Grant delegates , and will insist up on their instruction for the ex-presi dent. This action will bo bitterly op- posecPby Blaine and Sherman men , who express a determination to resist itwith all power "at their command and a prolonged fight on the question anticipated. The Grant men are over confident. The Pivotal State. Special Dtapatch to The 15co. CHICAGO-May 4 4 p. m. Six republican county conventions wore ! iold in Illinois yesterday. Blaine controlled those of Mercer and De- Kalb , and Grant those of Jersey and Tazewell. The delegations from Edgar and Casa were divided. It is becom- nfifrnore evident every day that the third termers are becoming very seriously alarmed over the uncertainty of the pivotril state of Illinois While' the Blaine mon hero are disposed to bo over over-confident , and their realizations will doubtless fall somewhat short of their expectations , it is certain that np to date Blaine leads in Illinois.

Wo are f ally aware that Mr. Washbnrne does not seek the nomination , and hat owing to his personal relations with General Grint he will not con sent to be a candidate against Grant. But the people who propose to nomi nate Mr. Washburne have not been consulted , and do not mean to consult iis wishes in the promises. He is heir candidate , no matter who his candidate is , and they moan to secure his nomination if possible , regardless of his own personal wishes. That is the plain fact of the matter.

Special Dispatch to TUB Bra NEW YORK , May 3 1 a. m. Mem bers of the New York Petroleum Ex change met in annual session yester day. Milch interest was taken in the proceedings as it was known that ta- tistics of the trade would be given in the address and reports of the officers. George H. Lincoln , president of the Exchange alluded (6 the great busi ness done in petroleum during the year. Production had been increased from 60,000 barrels per day in April , 1879 to.72,000 barrels per" day at theE resent 'time. The stock of crude oil E eld in pipe lines increased from 6,600,000 barrels to 10,000,000 barrels. Consumption increased 40COO barrels per d iy. The strong probability of a rapid decline in the Bradford district at a no distant day consequently makes a ton months' supply not excessive. Fluctuation in crude oil has been very marked , de- cling from 81.10 to G3Jc ; then ad vancing to S1.28J , and since declin ing to 2l c. These changes led to speculation , often reaching a million jarrols. Foreign countries have been enabled to obtain petroleum at a lower irice than ever baf ore ; had greatly in creased exports ; but the over-supply created thereby had had the effect to cause the present dullness. The final result must ba increased consumption , ispecially in the cast , and would bene fit the country trade in time. Indications. pedal dispatch to The Bee. WASHINGTON , MayjG , 1 a , m.

Sidney la the largest and oldest town in western Nebraska. It is the only important town of Cheyenne , * very large and wealthy county , -whoso cattle are worth $12,000,000 , Much gran wai burned from the prairies during Ml and winter , and no rain haa fallen for six months. The gross U low about starting this spring , and the cattle are thin and weak. The preliminary "round-up" has already begun , but the main work will commence on the 10th of May. Cheyeaao , Keith and Lincoln conn tiM are almost exclusively engaged in grazing , and a consolidation of the stock interests into one grand stock company ia frealy ipokon of. though not yet an accomplished fact. They held a meeting aomo time since and elected Mr. Hamblin stock in spector. It is his duty to examine the brand < of all stock shipped from the country. The cattle interest has rap idly increased during the few years past , end will probably be the domin ant interest for many years to come , if not always. Other interests may spring up to overshadow it in the com ing decide. The agricultural interest will not be very great till a wonderful increase in rainfall is reached. The toil is not uniform ; in some places it is ahaoat worthless , but over ono half o ! it is comparatively good and might yield bountifully under propitious circum stances. A vein of coal underlie * nil south east Wyoming and southwest Nebras ka. In some parts of Wyoming it cornea to the surface , but aa it is traced east ward it is found deeper and peeper erabaddpd beneath the surface , and at Sidney it is ninety feet below. A big bonanza will be unearned for Sidney when her coal c D0 obtained at a nominal cost n'f § 3 per tonTherQ is no indolent for mvastment in the ont rprwe at present , as none of it oould be shipped. The Union Pacific railroad is the only road through the place and they wonld discriminate in favor of the Wyoming mines , In which they themselves are interested , and thus choke all encouragement to indi vidual enterprise. A railroad has b on projected be tween this place and Deadwood , but we are not informed whether it has been definitely determined to build from tiiia laCe or Cheyenne. Snr- voyora prc now surveying from Jules- \.org , thirty-five miles east from here , to-Donver. Itt is asserted that this road will be built at a Tory early date in order to shorten the route to Den ver. ver.The freighting business bat ween this point and the Black Hills is a great factor in Sidney business. This be ing the nearest point on the Union Pa- cine railway to the HQs ! most people go by this route. The sta-e route from Cheyenne , -we learn , hai been discontinued. Tratt & Ferris sold their forward ing business to George H. Jewett & Co. last fall Dougherty & Co. have sold their forwarding business to John W. Bail , a live business man , well and favor ably known in the wholesale and re tail business at this place for several years. The late express robbery caused jroat excitement at the time , but all is quiet again. C. K. Allen , who was arrested for complicity in the matter , is out on $10,000 bail , and the old night switchman , who haa since been . shadowed by detectives , recently died in Denver by bunting a bloodvessel. Some Sidney people have caught I ho mining fever , and are goh.g to I Piikin , Colorado , among them N. P. Hazen , who sold his drug store to I" m Maple Widnette aod Clary , the form mB er proprietors of the American house , I 01 and A. M. Stevenson , a lawyer. A Beison & Shnman , former proprie tors of the Moore hotel , have dissolved partnership , and hereafter Mr. Beason will give his undivided attention to his stock ranch on the Rawhide. Robert Shnman haa taken a female partner to assist in running the hotel. AS. . Brown ia about removing his store , together with ita branch at ci North Plotte , to Ogden , Utah. 8. Hindman has the management of th > the Lockwood house noir. This ia ae th one of the largest hotels in the west , and connected with it is the office of the Black Hills Stage company. J. W. Griffin bos consolidated the Metropolitan and Grand Central hotels , and will be found an attentive and obliging host. 0. . Borquist , the county treas urer , has a large double front drug Btore , over which is the Borquist hall. ha A. J. Haskoll has the only lumber rw yard in the place. He reports having shipped tome of his lumber from the Hills. Sidney has four attorneys , V. Bier- ft bower < , J. W. Fowler , E. M. Day and Judge Geo. W. Heut. Judge Heist ccnnsjl for 0. K. Allen in the ex- preis robbery case. Sidney has a graded school of three teachers ; there arc only two other Ofl schools in the county , one at Lodge Pole 18 miles east , and one at Ante lope , 25 miles west. Cll At the district court in this county CllK' May ] 6 Woodruff was added to the id penitentiary list. "Boss" Stout says Judge Gaslin ia his partner in the penitentiary business , for the judge Bands the workmen and be gives them work. No storms of conecquenco have harassed ; this place for a long time , but a stage driver reports plenty of snow a short distance north of here , and says the snow was thirty-five Inches deep in Deadwood Sunday morning last. JAY. The Marshalltown water works are nrorth ( $125,000 , and are more than paying expenses. ' Co WY GOTO W - CIIOLLMAN & KCK8 UTC digc FOR HABDWAEK AHD . KAIL3.
