"All "Bills for raising revenuie shall originate "in the Iouse of Representatives ; but "th Setnat m1a1y propose or cotictir -".with aendumints as oti Other Bills." As aill revenutes como either directly -or.indirectly from the people, provision -is here made for the measures to raise them to come from the immediate repre -sentation of popubir sovereignty. Statu Sovereignty however has the preroga. tivo of aiding it perfecting those mneas. ures. CI.Ausm 2ND. "Every Bilt which "shall have passed the Hnse of Refpre. 1sontatives and the Senate, shall, before "it becone a Law, he presented to the 'President of the United States ; if hi "approve he shall sigu it, but if not lie "shall return it, with his objectioti to 'that House in which it shal1 have "originated, who shall enter objections "at large on their Journal, and proeed "to recqtsider it. If after such recon sid4ration two-thirds . of that House shll agree to pass dit Bill, it shall be ent, together with the objections, to "the the House, by which it sceall alikewise be ieconsdered, and if approv. "e'd by t.Wothirds of that House, it shall "becomea"'stw. But in such cases the "voteos of both H-oue, shall be deter. "mmaied by yeas 'b days, and the "tiamles of the personst '~QI1 for and "agauins' the Bill shall be *~kdon the "Jourunal of ueach House iI~ively. "If any Bill shall not be retttrnt by "the President within ten days "(lays excepted) after it shall have bee "presentedl to him, the same shall be a "law, in like manner as if lie had signed "it, unless the Co.ngresa by their ad "jourtnment prevent its return, ins which "case it shall not be a lasw." The invariable gnide for the Liegisla tive, E3xecutive and Judicial Depart. ,mente of United $overeignty should at all ti e f r, rd mii judgmen, "or from selfish "jfotives, or from party seal,' some of its plro)visions might be evaded or strained ini ,.ontrction tn suit anah errors- thosa three Departments are wisely given the power to put checks upon one another. The veto of the President is the Execu tive ''break" upon the machinery of Government, in so far as it is liable to too much propelling force from Con. gress. On the other hand the two. third majority of boti Houses of Con. gress is the Legislative check upon an unadvised use of Executive power. Undotibtedly the design and scope of this clause is to give opportunity for a thorough manipulation of all measures intended for general good, whenever the Executive and Cigress are diametri cally opposed in their views upon those measures. And the presumption is since what so large a representation as two.ihirds of Congress believes to be for the universal good is opposed by one man, that. if the President and Congress do so differ irreconcilably, that there is less danger of error among a multitudo of counsellors than with one man. But no such contingency was dream ed off by the framers of the Constitut,ion as that anomalous condition of represen - tation now existing in Washington. 'lhere is no provision made for adjusting a discrepancy between the Executive and Congress arising trom Legislation by twenty-five States represented for and against eleven States unrepresented. If we were wrong in declaring our. selves out of the Uniou, how can the Radicals be right in declaring us not in ? But the third period in this clause provides also for the "spotting" of repre. sentatives. Tiho record of their votes is not hore h-it to the desire of one fifth of the members, but their nams."shall he entered on the journl of each House resplctivelY." ID-rein is the remedy in the hands of poptilar and State Sover eigrty to readjiist their delegation if dis satisfied with thir a-ts, or to sanction by re electing the same, if satisfied. Of course some limit. must he assigned to the time for the President to.hold tihe Bill, and hence ten days are given for that purpose, as in that time it is rea. sonable to suppose lie can examine it and frame his objections, or approve and sign it. Ho could by default make it a law, but this could only be the ro. suit of imbecility or querulousness. In the history of the Goveinment. since its existence under the present Constitution, there have been many ve toes, but not many that were overruled by Congress, and no important one in volving so many vast interests and bat ting so strenuously for Popular, State and Uiited Sovereignty, but this one coining in our own day from ANDREW JOHNSON. The following is a list of vetoes issued By Washington 5 ; by Madi son, 6; by Monroe, I ; by Jackson, 9; by Tyler, 4; by Polk, 3; by Buchanan, I ; by Johnson, 2. There have been six Bills vetoed and overruled by Congress Four of these wvere local Internal improvenient Bulls vetoed by PrIEnCe; the fifth was a Bill relating to the revenuecntters, &c., ye toed b>y Tri.a, and the sixth is the Civil Rights Bill vetoed by JouNsoN.

G. Wilder, late surgeon of the 55th Regiment, Massa Itusetts Volun teers, gave the first of ir lectures upon the above subject in l"ston, Tuesday evening. The Journal gives the follow. ing brief but interestingsynopsis: The first of this species of spider was discovered by the lectuvir on the north end of Folly Island, in Vharlestoas Har bor, while in camp there in August, I f63 He wound from Its body in one hour and a quarter 150 yards of yellow silk. The next year anotoer officer wound from 30 spidets -3481 yards. or nearly two miles of the silk. A single thread of this was strong enougit to sus. tain a weight of from 54 to 10' grains. In 1865. Dr. Wilder showed his speci. men to Prof. Agassiz and otters, tc whom the species was new. Retnrning to Charleston he resumel hia rusuarches, 11nd after a variety of - adventures and disappointments, succeeded is getting a inumber of the spiders. : In the course of the stason these all died, from lack of knov.iodge as to t.heir habits, mode of livhig, &c From te eggs deposiied, however, many others are produced. It is the habit of the stronger to devour the weaker, so thal out of several thousand, only a few In. dred were raised. The lact, however, Was clearly demonstrated that they c-ould( he raised and live through a Northern winter. In the succeedinp lectures, t he method ofsecuring the silk, anl other facts in regard to this interest, ing discovery will be given. Specimens of the silk were exhibited, which was of a golden yellow and a sil, ver white, and as brilliant. as the metah in appearance.-R. I. Press. Are Rebels to be Trusted! We take the following from a lat lecturo on "Oaths, Arnitices and Re bellion," by the Hon. Chi rles Gayarre ot New Orleans, deliver., in thait, city Some cefnt.itikseg P_4 kings w4'r conten.ling for the crown of Castile. ] forget their nanes for the present, bi to facililtae the telling of story, I shal ell otie Alfonzo anad tho anoher John Alfonzo proctaimed, of coturse, that Johr was a iisiper and a rebel, and John re turned the compliment. Well, John at last. defest-d his rival, horse and foot., and carried everytlihig triumplannily be fore hii, with the exception of a single townt which Alfonzo had intritsted to a stout old knighl called Aguilar. and which, after a long siege, still remained impregnable. "You have done enough for honor,' said king John one day to the knight, "surrender and you shall have the most liberal terms. ' ' "If you read the history of your coun. try," ansivered Aguilar. "you wonl have known that none of my race eve capitulated." "I will starve you, proud and obsti. nAte fool." "Starve the eagle, if you can " "I will put, you and the wholo garri son to the sword." "Try," was the laconic reply, and the siege went on. One morning as tle rising sun was beginning to gladden with its rays the highest towers of the beleagijred city, a parley sounded from the camp of the enemy. The old knight appeared on the wall, and looked down on the king below. "Surrender I" said John agaim; "my rival, Alfonzo, is dead, and the whole ol Castile recognizes amy sway as that of its legitimate sovereign," "Go, then, to Seville where his body lies. You shall hav'e my royal word that I shaldl at.tempt nothing against you ott your way, nor sgamnst the city in your absence."

As soon as he approRched, again tli ranks of the enemy otened, and King John confronted tim. "Are you satisfie; aYrd' do you now give up the contest?" "Yes, sire." "Where are the keys of the town ?" "On King Alfonzo's beast. Go and get them. We meet n more." "By heaven we shall never part I" exclaimed Ohe King: 'Get the keys 'nck yourself, and remaiui in command of tile town in my name." The followers of the King murmured, and comploined of his rewarding a rebel. "He is no longer one," said Xing John.
