fThe presidents veto.E

New York, Feb. 20.-The following are extracts
from the morning press regarding President John
sons veto of the Freedmen's Bureau bill:
The World says: President johnson has richly
sustained his character for steadiness of purpose
and political courage. by the veto he lsent to the
Senate yesterday of the bill for the Enlargement
of the Powers of the Freedmen's Bureau The
consideration of most immediate interest is the
likelihood Of the veto being effective. Can the
bill be passed by two-third vote Of both Houses
over the veto and become law in spite of the
President? We think it cannot, but the question
is not entirely free from doubt as toset the pub
lie anxiety at rest until the trial has been made"
The Tribune says: 'We deeply regret this, and
we think he will have to regret this course more
deeply for this veto will be understood by all that
is brutal and ruffianly at the South as giving Ii
eense to every abuse and oppression of the blacks
that white malignity and rancorous hate can de-
wise"
The Times says: "The veto implies no essentiaI
difference Of opinion between the Executive and
the majority in Congress. On the primary object
of the bill, in essential point is the President
at variance either with the majority in Congress
or with the country. So far as the claims of the
freedmen are concerned he seeks to reach that end
by other and what he deems less radical agencies.
1t WILL therefore, be for Congress and the coun-
try to weigh carefully the objections offered, at
least to respect, if they cannot assent to the
sons on which the Executive veto is based"
frhe Herald says: The Freedmens Bureau has,
at the hands of President johnson, met with the
fate which it deserved. His general arguments
and his specifications against the bill are consis-
tent, convincing and conclusive"
New YORK. Feb. 20.-The Commercials Wash
ingtOn special says: There is great excitement
here to-day on the probable action of Congress
respecting the Freedmen's Bureau bill. The
galleries of the Senate are densely packed with an
eager audience. Senator Foote is detained at
home by sickness. The friends of Senator Morgan
assert he will vote for the bill. Chances seem
rather in favor of the passage of the bill over the
Presidents veto by two-third VOTE but the re-
suit is very doubtful. It has transpired that
amajority of the Cabinet was in favor of the Veto
Yesterday it was supported by Secretary Seward.
Mr.. McCulloch and Mr.. Wells. and it is said Mr..
Dennison and the other members opposed it.

ASSAULTED ON THE HIeHwAY.-A day
or two since, as. james r. Clark, a resident
Of this city, was returning from the vicinity
Of Brentwood where he had been to transact
some business, he was accosted by rough
looking desperate, who asked him how much
he would take for the mule on which he was
riding. Mr.. Clark replied that he did not
wish TO dispose Of the animal, as his business
was argent The ruffian then said that he
would accompany him, and the two fell into
conversation. After they had proceeded
some little distance, Clark noticed the man
putting his hand into his pocket; and be-
coming suspicious, he resolved to watch him.
Soon after, The william drew pistol, and
told Clark that he must die, at the same
time firing at him. The ball only passed
through his clothing, without inhicting any
injury. Mr.. Clark was unprovided with any
weapon, and therefore concluded to make
his escape as fast as possible from so dan
gerous a companion. The would-be muir
derer did not attempt to follow him, and Mr..
Clark arrived safely in this city.
