FATE OF THE ROAD BILLS.

Governor Jacob has vetoed the road bills passed by the late Legislature, and it is supposed that Wooddell, of Pocahontas county, is the maddest man in the State. Mr. Wooddell bent all the energies of his nature toward securing the passage of these bills, making appropriations for constructing roads and building bridges, and when he succeeded in getting them through, just on the eve of adjournment, he was perhaps the happiest man in this region, unless it was our genial friend Farnsworth, who was indulging in a supreme beatitude over the passage of his bill exempting ministers of the gospel from working on roads. But the Governor has seen proper in the discretionary use of the veto power conferred on him by the Constitution to send the road bills to the woodbine country, and our jovial friend from the seng country has had the cup of happiness dashed from his lips just as he was in the act of swallowing its contents: "But ever thus from childhood's hour."
