THE FREEDMEN's BUREAU BILL.-The
American Flag gives the following as prom
inent features Of the bill vetoed bv the Presi
dent:
"The bill provides for the extension of the
Freedmen's Bureau TO every part oil the United
States where any of that class of people NAV be
found. In order to properly effect this object,
The bill provides for twelve Freedmen's Dis
tric;s, over each Of which there is to be an As.
and then each District will be sub districted
and furnished with clerks.
The President Is to have power to place the
entire Bureau, if he chooses, under officers Sc
lec'ed from the army, and to give military pro-
lection to all the employees of The Bu eau.
The Secretary of War is authorized TO issue
clothing. food and fuel 10 destitute Freedmen in
the several Districts. The most important fea-
ture of the bill is the authority which is given
10 the President to reserve from public sale and
the use OF the Government. unoccupied lands n
the States of Mississippi Florida and Arkansas,
not more In all than 100000 acres of good ara
BILE land for Freedmen and loyal refugees, who
may choose to occupy them. The apportlon.
ment to each family or laborer is forty acres.
the tenants to pay such rent as may be agreed
upon between themselves and the Commission
ers. After q stated time they can purchase the
lands ct valuation to be determined by the
Commissioners. under the direction of the
President. Those titles granted under General
Sherman's field order, dated January 10th,
1865. are confirmed by the bill and made valid
But the bill does not stop here, destitute
Freedmen are to be furnished such lands in the
several districts as the United States NAV be
able to purchase, and upon the tracts so Dur
chased, the Commissioners are authorized TO
build such schools and asylums as may be Ieees
sary. From time TO time they are 10 sell or let
these lands to the Freedmen in the same man.
uer as they let and sell the public lands TO them;
with this provision however that the lands shall
never be sold for less than the sum they cost
the United States.
Still another section authorizes the President
to secure military protection 10 the Freedmen
in all cases where laws may be passed BY uu.
friendly local Legislatures discriminating against
the Freedmen on account of their color, while
another provision prescrbes penalties for sub.
jecting Freedmen TO slavery again.
The Freedmen's Bureau must be vacated
May lst, according TO the limit of the original
Act-that being oue year from the date des.
igpated by the President as the end of the war.
The Presidents veto having been based on the
general grounds of the unconstitutionality of
legislation affecting the Southern States while
the said States are not represented, it is diff.
cult to see how any other bill can be framed
to meet the exigeney. There are rumors.
however. of attempts TO try it again in some
other shape.

The Presidents veto of the Freedmeu's 3
Bureau bill seems to be considered by the
Union press Of the country as equivalent to bis
"going over to the esemy." And, il We may
believe the telegraph. the Copperheads and
Secessionists now consider him as zone OF

Davis and General Lee. toast these illustrlous
men as "The three greatest Americans.
Y Vallandigham floats the fsg-we are not told
rhat flag-from bis window, and declares it
the duty of the Democracy" to stand By the
President, while one hundred guns are fred 10
honor of the veto. Such Copperhead journals
as the New York World and Chicago Times
declare that "the country has been saved a
great calamity" and that President Johuson
has nobly sustained bis character for steadiness
of purpose and political courage" On the
contrary, the Chronicle, the Union organ at
Washington, declares that 'tbe veto is cause
for universal so,icitude The surrender of Lee
was only the beginning of the rebellion. The
defeated traitors threaten TO become again
Triumphant, aud release the dictator even from
his stronghold at Fortress Monroe" The New
York Tribune deeply regrets the veto. and
thinks the President will live to regret it even
more deeply"
This rupture between Congress and the
President must indefinitely postpone the recon-
struction of the Southern States governments,
and plunge those States still deeper in ruin and
lawlessness. The Union majority in Congress
is more determined than ever, and the Recon
struction Committee, although prepared to
report favorably on the admission of Tennessee,
have postponed all action in the case, and it is
doubtful If any OF the Southern States will be
admitted to this Congress. There are rumors
that preparations are being made to impeach
President johnson for maladministration in
Office, and upon the specific charge of misde-
meanor, under Section four, Article two, of the
Constitution-the particular specifications
being the abuse of power in the reconstruction
of rebel States, and the pardon before trial oil
high rebel functionaries. The House has
power to draw bill Of impeachment, to be
tried before the Senate, Chief Justice Chase
presiding. The movers in this matter consider
that healthy example may be made for all
future Presidents. In the Senate, Wade, OF
OHIO, introduced resolution TO amend the

The Trade and Travel.

A. viii be seen. the merchants Of San Fran
cisco have taken action in reference to securing
The trade Of Montana, Utah and Idaho. Very
little attention. however, has been paid by them
TO the direct and by far the shortest and best
route to Idaho. We alIude to the route via
Susanville, Black Rock, Pueblo, Owyhee ard
Ruby City. 1t seems settled that 10 order to
have this route receive the attention it merits,
there must be concerted action by the counties
Of Northern California, without depending
upon those whose minds are engaged with
something farther of. We understand that it
Il proposed that the citizens Of the counties of
Yubs, Sutter, Colusa, Butte, Sierra, Plumas,
and Laaen, shall memorialize the Legislature,
Recommending the passage of an Act author
ixing these counties to subscribe to the stock
Of the "California and Idaho Wagon Road
Company" sums varying from $4,000 to
$4,000 each, 10 bonds running twenty years
70 maturity. and bearing ten per cent. per
annum interest That the transit of the Idaho
trade over this route would greatly add to the
amount and increase the value Of the taxable
property Of the counties named, stimulate their
trade and afford large market for their agri-
cultural products, there can be no doubt. The
road would open to these counties a market
long needed for their surplus products, and,
once opened as it should be, the greater part
Of the trade and travel must 60 over this route.
The people Of Northern California must unite,
and "strike while the iron is hot" or the golden
opportunity will be lost.

FOREIGN TRooPs FOR MKxIco.-The full

dispatches to Government officials at Wash

last month, between France and Austria, for
the immediate withdrawal of the French from
Mexico, and their replacement by troops, to
the humber Of 100000, by Austria. II is
proposed to raise these troops by volunteering,
IN Belgium and Hungary. Transportation for
them and the necessary stores, until landing in
Mexico, are to be furnished by Napoleon.
The withdraw wal will be conditional on the
establishment of the new empire, and pledge
Of non intervention by the United States The
Mexicans must accept Maximiian, or endure
foreign army for an indefinite period That
is il the Monroe Doctrine is dead in the

driving Maximiian and his mercenaries back
to their own shores, where despotic sway is
the rule-not the exception.

This motion was carried unanimously. A

Mr.. Hopper. Of Sacramento, moved that the

MEXICAN INrELLIGENcE.-The New York
Herad's City Of Mexico letter, dated February
I'd, says: "The Imperial exchequer Is almost
exhausted. Whence to replenish it is question
which is puzzling all the wise men of the
empire, bu! which no one can solve. The
Ministers are said to have confessed that the
very existence of the Government depends on
the procurement of loan of hundred million
dollars, for which negotiations are being pros
ecuted in Paris. The annual revenue of the
Government from oil sources is about twenty
million the expenditures for the past year
were fortytwo million. 1t is hinted that,
if the Paris negotiations fail, general forced
loan will be resorted to. 1t is apprehended
that this will lead to an uprising Of the inhab
itants. Langes, Napoleop's agent, has accepted
a position as Finance Minister in Maximilian's
Cabinet. The present effective strength of the
Imperial army is set down at twenty thousand
Macmillan, in a recent speech, is said to have
dwelt on the probability of the withdrawal
OF the french troops, owing 10 the opposltion
of the United States to their continuance in
the country. Between sixteen and seventeen
Thousand Meyicans, it is stated, had been
executed in accordance with the findings of the
Imperial Courts martial up TO the end of
December last" Ii is officially announced from
Vienna that negotiations for the formation of a

will shortly be brought to a conclusion.
