THE VETO DEFEATED.

The Senate has carried the Civil Rights
bill over the Presidents veto ! This an-
nouncement will give pain to those who de.
sire the restoration of the country to Con.
stitutional freedom, and an observance of
the rights of States But above all, will it
be painful to the Southern people, upon
whom this measure has been imposed as a
bill of pains and penalties instituted to pun
ish secession. Madness, such as never yet
influenced the legislation of country,
seems to have swept away the forms of the
Constitution, and enthroned itself upon
the ruins. The logic of the veto message
by which an impartial executive,
endeavored to arrest the evil and tenn.
per the passions and prejudices of the
hours-were unavailing. Having passed
the Senate-the House in which it origiua-
ted-against his remonstrance, it will go
through the lower House almost without
dissent and may now be considered, practi.
cally, the law Of the land.
The Bill itself we published in full in
our issue of last week. 1t will be obscrved
that it confers equality before the law and
in fact upon all classes of people whatever,
born in the United States-idiots, Indians,
paupers, negroes, &c. The right of suf.
frage alone is excepted. These features
are odious, revolutionary, and subversive of
the principles taught us in that instrument,
known as the Constitution Their adoption
will be pourned by that section of the
country upon which they fall with such Pc
culiar severity, as national calamity of
gigantic magnitude.
Intense excitement is said to exist in
Washington, and if the rumors that reach
US are founded on facts, the peace of the
country hangs upon delicate balance.-
The telegraph represents a tumult of the
widest character as prevailing.

GARRISON REMOVED.

The garrison which has been stationed
at this post since November last, with Capt.
M. BoYcE as commandant, was yesterday
relieved and ordered torendezvous at Cbes.
ter, S. G. This movement, through not ex
pressly so stated, is presumed to be con-
consequence of the Presidents proclamation
relieving the country from Martial law.
1t gives US pleasure to state that Captain
BoYcE during his stay here, has executed
his delicate duties in a spirit of frankDess
and honesty generally satisfactory to the
people. The peculiar relationship of COVER.
nor and governed, was such as to place the
commandant to some extent in antagonism
with the people; but we are free to say that
Capt. BoYcE has discharged his duties more
acceEtably than most others would have
done

DIFFERENTIATION.

On Monday morning last, sufficient snow
fell at Charlotte, N. c., to cover the tops
of the houses. The bridge over the
Roanoke, at Weldon, has been completed.
........"..Tbe Journal Of Commerce and
National MtelAgencsr warn the country
that the radicals are contemplating bold
revolutionary movements against the Presi-
dent ....'''.'Ou Thursday last, an election
was held at Charlotte, N G., to decide
upon the acceptance of charter granted
by the Legislature making that place a city.
The vote stood for "Adoption," 112;
"Rejecticn," 7. The Democrat says
"Charlotte is now city by law, if not &C.
cording to population. .".........Dr. Hutch.
iuson of Mobile has adopted a plan of
packing cotton in barrels, which the Mo-
bile Tribune approves, as one calculated to
save at least ten per cent. in cost over the
usual mode, beside greatly lcssening the
expense Of freight. ...''.'''The Chattanooga
american Union says that the smallpox
hes committed fearful ravages in that Sec
tion of the country. Its traces may be seen
in the graves of hundreds and the faces of
the faces of thousands of the colored pop
uation, and the whites have not been
sligbted. At times the negro huts have
been in dagger of losing all their inmates.
Now, however, the disease seems to have
outlived its fercest attacks, and is gradually
giving way to the influences of the opening

GREENBArXS vs.. GOLD.

GREENBAIXS vs.. GOLD.
In assuming gold as the circulating me.
disn of the country, we are departing from
maxims of political economy, that have
prevailed with every enlightened people,
Gold is properly recognized as an article of
merchandise in the business world, subject
to Auctuating values. Its value is regula-
ted like that of any other article of mer-
chandize, by the laws of supply and de.
mand During the early part of the recent
war, and before the Confederate Treasury
Notes could be strictly said to have depre.
ciated, gold rose to an enormous value
Why? Not because of want of conf
dence, at that time, in the currency, but
because the gold of the country had been
shipped by blockade runners to exchange
for cargoes of needed articles. Its utility
in this capacity, and its increasing scarcity,
soon carried it to an enormous premium.
The same causes now control the premium
upon it, as compared with the present cur
reucy. During the war, the products of the
country could not be shipped from the Uni
ted States in exchange for merchandise.
Cotton was inaccessible, and grain needed
for the armies in the field. Gold must be
supplied in their stead, and, consequently,
every ship load of foreign merchandise
brought into United States port, required
the abstraction of its value in gold from the
country. We have not yet recovered from
this state of affairs. Gold becoming com.
paratively scarce, began to command pre-
MUM in currency That scarcity still con-
tinues, for the large excess of gold shipped
to Europe during the war, has not yet ad-
justed itself in the scale governing its use
and value between the two countries. 1t
consequently still commands premium in
the market, and the demands of cotton hol-
ders, of gold for their cotton, together with
the import duties required to be paid in
gold, operate to keep up the price. The
natural operations of trade will most likely
soon restore to this country, its Legitimate
share of the gold currency of the world,

stitutiou of the United States to fix the
qualification of voters in any sovereign State
Of the Confederacy. 1 want to enter my
protest against the doctrine being INDUCED
in or cultivated to any other extent, that
this Government has power to 60 inside
sovereign State and prescribe the qualifca'
tions of her voters at the ballot.box. 1t is
for the State and not for the Government
to do that. If the doctrine be once conce-
ded that the Federal Government has the
power to fix the qualifications of voters in
State, the idea ofState sovereigntyis utopl
an. There is no such thing as State soVer,
eighty if this Government can fix the quallh
cation of vo- ,rs." As shown by his recent
veto, the President has not changed his
opinions.

THE PROCLAMATION.

The distrust we expressed in the "Situa.
ton" article, as to the practical meaning
of the Presidents Proclamation, later in.
formation leads US to hope was groundless.
The indications are strong that President
JOHNSON intended fuller Interpretation
than we we're at first disposed to accept
The removal of the garrisons from the in.
terror, preparatory to final departure from
the country, is evidence of the broadcast
construction of the proclamation and that
martial law and military occupation not
only "ought to cease" but very probably
have ceased in fact. In addition to this,
we call attention to an article in another
column, collected from our northern ex.
changes, embracing the views taken of it
in Washington and elsewhere. Better con.
versant with facts there, than We could
possibly be, we are disposed to accept their
version as the correct one

ing of this court, but the Supreme Court
set aside the sentence, and pronounced the
whole proceeding null, upon the broad
ground that military tribunals have no juris-
diction, even under the war power, to try
and condemn civilians. This decision set.
ties the question of jurisdiction assumed
by military courts, even if the Presidents
proclamation has not fully decided it.
The same august tribunal has, however,
lodged the issue brought before it, upon
the constitutionality of the Test Oath. An
order was issued closing the pleadings upon
this important matter, without coming to
decision. Political Influences were thus
permitted to trammel the judiciary and sti-
fe the DEGREES of justice, because of party
interests. The court could not, under the
oath of its members, have rendered but
one opinion-that the Tes Oath is uncon-
stitutional. It's action must be matter of
regret to the whole countr7.
The Civil Rights Bill has been passed
in the Senate over the Presidents veto by
vote of Is to 33 Upon its original pas
sage in the Senate the vote stood IL to 33,
and in the House, 30 to Ill. When re-
turned to the Senate with th, Presidents g
objections, of those who voted for it orig
inally, Senator FooTE was dead STOCKTON
expelled, and WRIGHT and DIXON proba-
bly, absent by reason of Sickness. The
presence of the latter two members would
have changed the result of the vote and
sustained the Presidents action.
The House will no doubt pass the Bill
with ease.

SOLDIERS FROM YORK.

Believing that this District and State
would gladly perpetuate in some form, the
names of those who fell in the late struggle,
we design opening in the ENQUIRER, at an
early day, a roll for this purpose. To eff,
feet this object we ask the assistance of all
officers who commanded companies, and
others able to furnish any information, in
furtherance of the design.
To all commanding officers of Companies
from this District, who are willing to assist
US, We would say, send US the name of
the Company and Regiment to which it
belonged ). also the roll of the Company,
including the names of all who were ever
members of it. Mark on the margin op.
posite the names of those killed, the battle
in which they fell and the same of those
who died from wounds, received in action
pane all those who died of disease in
service-in each instance giving dates.-
The roll should, as far as practicable, be a
condensed history of the Company from its
organization to the close of the war. We
will either publish the rolls in full, or such
facts from them as will be important to per.
petuate.
We earnestly ask the assistance of the
officers of this District in this worE. Its
objects are important, and nearly every
family treasures the memory of some name
that should live in the future The roll
will be historic record of the soldiers from
this District, and as matter of reference
alone, will be invaluable Give US your
help.
