PRESIDENTS VETO MESSAGE.

To tie Seaats Of the United States:
have examined with care the bill which
originated in the Senate and has been
passed by the two houses of Congress. to
amend an act entitled An Act to establish
a bureau for the relief of freedmen and
refugees, and for other purposes" Having
with much regret come to the conclusion
that il would not be consistent with the
public welfare to give my approval to the
measure, Iroturn the bill TO the Senate with
my objections to its becoming law.
I might call to mind, in advance Of these
objections, that there is no immediate ne
cessity for the proposed measure. The act
to establish @ bureau for the relief of freed
men and refugees, which was approved in
tho month of March last, has not yet ex-
pired. 1t was thought stringent and ex-
tensive enough for the purpose in view.
Before it ceases to have effect, further ex-
perience may assist to guide US to a wise con-
clusion as TO the policy to be adopted in time
of peace. have with Congress the strongest
desire to secure TO the freedmen the full en-
ioyment of their freedom and their property
and their entire independence and equality
in making contracts for their labor, but the
bill before me contains provisions which in
my opinion are not warranted by the con-
stitution and are not well suited to accom-
plish the end in view.
The bill proposes to establish, by author
ity of Congress, military jurisdiction over
all parts Of the United States containing
refugees and freedmen. II would by its
very nature apply with most force to those
parts of the United States in which the
freedmen most abound, and expressly ex-
tends the existing temporary Jurisdiction Of
the Freedmen's Bureau with greatly en-
larged powers over those States in which
the ordinary course of judicial proceedings
has been interrupted by the rebellion.
The source from which this military
Jurisdiction is to emanate, is none other
than the President ofthe United States, act
ing through the War Department, and the
Commissioner of the Frcedmen's Bureau.
The agents to carry out this military juris-
dictien are to be selected either from the
army or from civil life. The country is to be
divided into districts or sub districts, and the
number of salsried ssagents to be employed
may be equal to the number of counties or
parishes in all the United States where
freedmen and refugees are to be found. The
subjects over which this military jurisdic-
ton is to extend in every part OF the Uni
ted States, include protection to all en-
ployees, agents and officers of this bureau
in the exercise of the duties imposed upon
them by the bill. In eleven States it is
further to extend over all -5 affecting
freedmen and refugees dis 51ted against
by local law, custom O. e. In those
eleven States the bill =an'.. any white

railroad companies to stop certain trains at
all railroad crossings, to provide an officer
for the County Surveyor in each county
when necessary to perpetuate the evidence
of naturalized citizens for election purpo-
ses to increase the fees of County Treasur-
ers, &c.
The House had very short afternoon
session, and transacted no important busi-
ness. Considerable excitement was mani
tested on receipt of the news by telegraph
of the Presidents veto of the freedmen's
bureau bill. 1t occasioned visible scowl
on one side of either house of the General
Assembly, and a sardonic grin on the ether
side.
The Governor learns that the salary of F.
W. Bingham, Esq, Military Agent at New
Orleans, forwarded to him by the Quarter
master General, was lost on the G. W. Car
ter, on the Mississippi where SO many valu-
able lives were lost

Worthington pledged $4,000 in property
and cash as an induoement for the location

pected the county will raise 500, 900 more.

THE FREEDMENS BUREAU BILL
VETOED By THE PRESIDENT.

This bill, the mildest, the most conserva-
tive, the most obviously essential Of all the
great measures initiated by the present
Congress, having finally passed both
branches of the national legislature and
having been sent to the President for his
signature on Tuesday laat, was yesterday
returned to Congress with his objections.
There has been much anxiety felt in
Washington as to his action in the matter,
and general fear expressed that he
would veto the bill. This fear has been
realized, and this action will prove most
unfortunate for Andrew johnson.
His veto will not prevent the pas
sage of the bill, for a two-thirds
majority Of both Houses, Cineluding
every Republican Senator but two, and
every Republican representative but Ros
seau, who has formally sbjured the party,
is committed in its favor. The Presi-
dent has proven false to himself, to his
glorious war record, to his pledges to the
colored people of the South, and to the
party which elected him, by thus placing
himself withthe cOpperheads ndrebels in
opposition to measure absolutely neces-
'ary for the protection of the Southern I'm
onists, black or white, and will have cause |
% regret it to the end of a very brief ps-
itical existence and for all his life there

Life Insurance.

Among the active agencies Of the time
none seem 10 be more earnest, enterpris
ing and successful than that of life insur-
ancc. 1t has become feature Of the age
q sort of cardinal point in the life of q
prudent American citizen, to take out 9
| life insurance policy for the benefit of his
wife, his children, his parents, or himself,
in case he is living at certain age agreed
upon. Almost every variety of prSba-
bility, or even possibility, seems to bepro-
vided against-every phase of the social
relation being now protected by life in
surance.
Notably among the most active, earnest
and successful of our life offices is the
Equitable Life Assurance Society of New
York, whose specific programme for fu-
ture annual cash dividends is published in
our columns to-day.
A prominent feature in the management
of this society has always been the ready,
indeed the fixed, recognition of the i'm
perative rights and claims Of the policy
holders, as mutual members of the institu-
ton, TO govern and regulate its principles
Of action. The subscribers to the original
guaranty capital have no claim upon the
tuAAS VI Inc sOC4cL1 DcyOlu IHc mere IepI
interest of their capital, unless so far as
they may also be policy holders. The
capital produces its own interest, whilst
it strengthens the society and ensures q
due watohfulness over the management.
In all essentials the Equitable is pure
ty mutual society, managed and directed
to best promote the interest of all tho
members
AS nothing succeeds so well as "suc-
cess the Equitable has all the advan-
tages OF the popular apothegm. The So
eiety is complete success-the greatest
success in the life insurance system in its
time. In period of vigorous competi-
lion it has surpassed all competitors
among modern life offices, and taken
secure and high position among the fnan-
cial institutions of the age. The pro-
sramme referred to is well prepared ex-
plains all the features Of the society, and !
deserves careful attention.-N. Y. Eoeninc

The ocean race between the Winooski
and the Algonquin terminated on Thurs
day in the victory of the former. The own
ers of the latter had pledged her to three
things: First. That with an equal amount
of coal in both, she would go as far and
as fast as the other until the coal of the
other was burned out and then she would
tow the other as far as they had already
gone. Second. That at speed of eight
knots an hour, the Algonquin would go
three times as far as any of her class.w
the same fuel. Third. That, burning soft
coal, which is the fuel of the world, and
running week without cleaning boilers,
the Algonquin could then go five times as
far as one of her class with the same coal.
