WASHINGTON, Feb 10. &
The President has sent to CONGRESS- his veto

refused to revoke the order suppressing the
Richmond Examiner, expressing himself in
decided terms against the pub lication of a GER
tain class of articles in Southern papers. as
calculated to do irremedial mischief On Tues
day, however, Mr.. Pollard was officially in
formed by an officer of Gen. Grants staff that
the order would be revoked. OF course that
paper in future will be less liable to objection
Gen. Grant will. however, take care that no
newspaper shall be published containing SEN
timents of disloyalty and hostility to the Gov
eminent in any of its branches. Persistent
publIcation of articles calculated to keep up
hostility between the people of different sec
tons OF the country, will not be tolerated.

The Congress of the United States has never
heretofore thought itself competent to estab
lish any laws beyond the limits of the District
of Columbia, except for the benefit of our dis
abled soldiers and sailors. 1t has never found
schools for any class or for our own people, not
even for the orphans Of those who have fallen
inlthe defence of the Union, but has left the
care of their education to the much more
competent and efficient control of the States,
OF communities, of private associations, and OF
individuals. 1t has never been deemed itself
authorized to expend the public money for the
rent or purchase of houses for the thousands,
not to say millions, of the white race who are
honestly toiing from day to day for their sub

BE- A system for the support of INDECENT per-
sons in the United States was never contem-
plated by the authors of the Constellation
Nor can any good reason be advanced why, as
a permanent establishment it should be found
ed for one class or color of our people more
than another. Before the war many refugees
and freedmen received support from the gov
eminent, but it was never intended that they
should henceforth be fed, clothed, educated
and sheltered by the United States. The idea
on which the slaves were assisted to freedom
was, that on becoming tree, they would be a
self-sustaining population. Amy legislation

attain self-sustaining condition, must have a
