TnE ART OF BEING PoLIrE.-First and
foremost, don't try to be polite. 1t will spoil {!
If you keep overwhelming your guest; with
ostcntations cntrcating to make themselves at
home, they will very soon begin to wish they
were there. Let them find out that you arc
happy to see, them by your actions rather than
words. Always remember to let bashfu pco-
pic alone at first 1t is the only way to set
them at ease. Trying to draw them out has
sometimes the contrary effect of driving them
out---of the house! Leading the convcrsa-
tlon is dangerous experiment. Better fol-
low in it's wake, and if you want to endear
yourself to takers, learn to listen well, New
or make a fuss about anything never talk
about yoursclf-and always preserve compo
s,lro, no matter what soecism or blunders
others may commit. Remember that it is
very foolish proceeding to- lamcns that YOU
cannot oacryo guest a bette, house, -orfur-
nture or viands. 1t is fair to presume that
the visit is to you and not to those surround
ings. Give people a.pleasant impression Of
themselves, and they vii! be pretty sure to 60

SAN Francisco, May IA letter from

massacre at Fort Goodwin. He states that
the massacre occurred ten days previous,
and that of two companies of regulars, Sd

men, only seven escaped, the remainder
being ped and murdered. The Apaches
reaped rich harvest, carrying of arms

A number of supposed friendly Indians
were admitted into the fort and surprised
the garrison.
tribe named Haelapars had murdered
q man committed other atrocities in the vi
cinity of Williams Fork.
Lieut.. Cervantes, Co. A, with &c men, at
tackled the Apaches, 40 miles east of Camp
Lincoln, about March 24th, killing %,
wounding five and capturing two. The
same party was planning an attack upon
the large ranches.
SAN FRAScIsco, May 1.-THE military
authorities here have information from Gen.
Mason, dated April 25th, who says nothing
abous the massacre at Fort Goodwin. a
letter of late date from Yala discredits the
report 1t is now believed here that the
18th hegular5 could not nave reacAeu OF
Gibson before April 29th.
Dispatches received at the military head
quarters from a gentleman dating April

Goodwin is without foundation.

PARIS, May 5.-The memorial diplomat
ique denies that theFrench have made ener-
getic remonstrances at Vienna relative to
the armament of vessels at Venetia. 1t is
stated that dispatch sent to Vienna on
this subject was couched in the most cour-
teous terms and solely requested a confden-
tial explanation respecting the object of the
Austrian preparations.
The Austrian government replied pro-
testing that it would maintain q strictly de
fensiTe attitude.
France accepted these explanations, and
the result was mutual understanding ae-
cording to which Austria undertakes, pro-
vided Italy should attack Venetia independ-
emily of France, not to secure for herself
any Of the eventful results Of victory, with
out any diplomatic intervention on the part
of France. Il is stated that one object Of
Austria in menaeing Prussia and Italy is to
force England TO assent to q convention OF
a European Congress.

The Veto Message.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The following is
the Presidents message, yetoing the Colo
RADIO Admission Bill:
To the Senate of the United States:
I return to the Senate, in which house it
originated, the bill which has passed both
houses of Congress, entitled "An act for
tbe admission Of the State of Colorado into
the Union" with my objections to its be-
coming g law at this time.
First, From the best information I have
been able TO obtain, do not consider the es-
tablishment of State government neceSsa-
~ for the welfare of the people of Colorado.
Under the existing Territorial government
all the rights, privileges and interests Of the
citizel,s are protected and secured. The
qualified voters choose their own legislators
and heir own local officers, and are repre-
sented in Congress by a delegate of their
own selection. They make and execute
their own municipal laws, subject only to
revision by Congress, an authority not like
" to be exercised unless in extreme or ex-
traordinary cases The population is small
some estimating it as low as $4,000, while
the advocates ofthe bill reckon the number
TO be from 5000 to 10000. The people are
principally recent settlers, many of whom
are understood TO be ready for removal to
other mining districts beyond the limits of
the Territory if circumstances shall render
them more inviting. Such q population
cannot but find relief from excessive taxa
ton if the Territorial system, which devol-
YES the expenses of the Executive, Legisla-
tive and Judicial Departments, upon the
United States is for the present continued.
They cannot but find the security of person
and property increased by their reliance
upon the National Executive power for the
maintenance Of law and order against the
disturbances necessarily incident to ell
newly organized communities.
Second 1t is not satisfactorily established
that q majority Of the citizens of Colorado
desire, or are prepared for an exchange Of q
Territorial for State government. In Sep
tember, 1854, under the authority Of Con-
gress, an election was lawfully appointed
and held for the purpose Of ascertaining the
views .d fhe people upon this particular
question. Six thousand and ninety-tvo
votes were cast and Of this number ma
J jority VI e,iss Tas given against the pro.
