VETO OF THE EUTAW PLACE MONUMENT BILL.-

Mayor Latrobe last night sent in a message to the first branch of the city council vetoing the resolution to permit the erection of a Confederate monument in Eutaw Place. The Mayor says that while the political Issues involved in the war have been settled by its result, the sympathies of those who were actors in is on either side continue to exist, and while these feelings continue no such monument as is proposed can be erected without wounding the sentiments of a great number of people. The highways and squares of the city are the common property of all, and the trustees who are temporarily charged with the care of them, whatever their own personal and private opinions, should scrupulously avoid any action tending to wound the sensibilities of those who think differently from them. The reconsideration of the resolution was laid over, but the indications are that the Mayor’s views will be fully sustained by the vote of the city council.
