The Veto.

By Editor

PRESIDENT HAYES vetoed the Chinese Immigration Bill. This was expected by almost everybody. The threats of secession and blood-shed, in case of a veto, greatly injured the cause of the bill, by strengthening the opposition in the East. This became so evident that even Denis Kearney, at a very large meeting on the "sand lot" on last Sunday afternoon, repudiated his former expressions in favor of armed resistance to the action of the government. We predict that the excitement over the veto will be of short continuance.
