Aliegneuy county is liable fr riot

to w hether those who suBered from

of tbeir guilt and of the weakness of

Governor Uovt wisely hesitated to

suppress a riot. Hereafter the hesi
tancy is likely to be deliberate and
long continued, since tbe sending ot
troops to Pittsburg to rescue tbat city
from tbe effects of ber own poltroon
e.-y is made the pretext for shifting
ber responsibilities from Allegheny
t cuuty to tbe people of tbe whole
State. It might be giving immunity
to riotous counties aud populations
to be send'og troops under such cir
cumstances uuless in tbe direst ex

Tbe Call, after briefly reviewing
tbe points of tbe veto message, says:
'There is no intimation that negotia-

On tbe contra'y, he seems to reirard

may limit tbe innux ot Ubinese to
tbe capacity of tbe country to absorb

cate any comprenensive conception
on tbe part of the Executive of tbe

argument of tbe message is not ot a
character to mitigate in any degree
the keen disappointment the people
of tbis coast -iil feel at tbe failure of
tbe bill on which so many hopes had
been built."
Tbe Atta savs: We fail to find any
saUi-factory reason in tbe message for

inference tbat it being a treaty, there
fore it must stand until nego tations
