AFFAIRS AT RIcHMoND.-W were deeply
panied during recent visit to the Metropolis
Of our State, to hear universal complaint Of
stagnation in business We never saw Rich
moud so dull nor her business men so despond
ing They seem to have little hope of an
early revival Of trade and commerce there,
and many believe that long years will elapse
before Richmond will be what it once Was.-
The great confasration, the present lack of
capital and the general failure of crops in the
State, account, in great part, for the existing
depression. Complaint is made also, that our
people have gone elsewhere, out Of the State,
10 trade. We can only hope that, if kind
Providence shall favor us with bountiful har-
vests next year, Richmond will reap the fruits
Of her enterprise and public spirit A great
mauy handsome buildings have been erected
on the principal business streets during the
last year, and the burnt districts will, if i'm
provement progresses at the same rate year
Or two longer, be entirely covered with houses:
We should speak good word for Richmond
whenever we can, and do all that in US lies, to
recover her from her late terrible Disaster

hENosHA HARBoR We notice that on
the 18th inst, our Representative Hon. Fl.
PAINE, introduces in the House of Rep
resentatives, the Petition of the Mayor and
citizens of Kenosha, Wisconsin, for an ap.
preparation for the improvement of Kenosha
Harbor.
No harbor on the Lake is more entitled
to lift from Uncle Sam, than our own
Our people have taxed themselves for years
to make harbor, and it is almost complet-
ed. An appropriation now, from Congress-
would complete it and make permanent the
improvements made by the Sums hitherto
expended.
In the Senate, on the 18th,
MIR. Howe presented three petition of cit
liens OF Wisconsin, praying for a reduction
of The tax on the sale of agricultural impIe-
ments; which were referred to the Commit
tee on Finance.
Mr. howe. present a petition signed
by Stoddard Judd, and many other citizens
of Wisconsin,, praying that all banks who
go into liquidation and deposit lawful money
of the United States for the lawful amount
of their outstanding circulation with the
banking department of the State where To-
Gated, according to the provisions gifts State
banking law, may be treated in the same
manner as though deposited with the Treas
urer of the United States, according to the
one hundredth and tenth section of the in
ternal revenue act, in regard 20 exemptiag

The PreSident's Iftn.

1t has been san.e slime since we have seen
such general commotion among our citi
zens, az was occasioned on Tuesday last, by
the reception of President Johnson's Veto
Message of the Freedman's Bureau Bill
1t reminded US of the times a year ago.
when the account Of some great battle came
to hand Everybody had something to say
to everybody else upon the all absor biug
topic.
We have not room for the Message this
week, as our paper was mostly made up
when it came to hand, but we shall give it
in full in our next. The bill is vetoed OH
the ground of its unconstitutionality, ex-
pensiveness, for the immense amount of
patronage it bestows on the President, and
on the ground that it is unnecessary and
uncaled for by the condition of the country.
These are the main points made by the
President The Message goes over the
ground thoroughly, and we must say some
of the objections are well put.
A motion was made in the Senat. to pass
the bill outstanding the Presidents We.
to, but the motion failed for the want Of
the two-t thirds maiority-the vote standing
80 ayes to IS nays.
Great excitement prevailed in Washing
ton on the subjec some of the more ultra
friends of the bill declaring that the Presi-
dent had efectualy and forever severed
himself from the party that elected him,
while others more hopeful temperament. in
sisted that there WAS no reason for a per-
manent rupture between the President and
his party, 1t is said that Senator DoolittIe
will soon introduce another Ereedman's b,l-
reau bill, that will conform o the views Of
| the President.

The Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal.

Mr. John Harris, the efficient lobby az, ii,
in Washington, of the Door County Slip
Canal enterprise, writes to his paper, the
Door County AdUocate, that the prospects Of
the bill are very fattering. AS now amen
ded it provides a grant of two hundred
thousand acres of land to the State to aid in
the construction of the canal; that if the
Legislature is not in session when the bill
passes, the lands shall be at the disposal Of
the Governor and Commissioners of school
lands; that before any of the lands are dis
posed of, the plan IF the hreakwater and
har Dor, and the route of the canal shall be
established aud plat filed in the office OF
the War Department, and duplicate with
the Commissioner of the General Land Of
fee; that if the canal and breakwater is not
completed within three years, the grant
shall revert to the United States, that only
sufficient tolls shall be levied to keep the
canal in working order; that the canal shall
be at least one hundred feet wide and thir.
teen feet deep.

ton and knowledge extend, all the wooden
factories OF the Northwest are chiefly en-
gagged III supplying the local demand with
IN fifty miles of their own doors, and this
shows what might be done if capital and
skill were turned to greater extent in
this direction.
The local demand ON the part of farmers
for warm and durable cloths is by no means
supplied, and for every factory which ex-
changes its cloth for wool with the farmers,
there is room for another to supply other
sections. The manufacturer to whom l
have alluded turned away cash orders to the
amount more than $40, 1000 during the last
autumn, and it were easy to show that the
lew factories we now have are only mole
ty of what the West demands at the pres
ent time.
We are whole generation in the Iurch
on this most important question; and it is
time we were discussing this great issue in
the light of fact and experience, instead of
retailing the theories of men who never saw
the West and very likely were never inside
of a. factory in their lives. The masses are
Weakening up to the necessity of diversifying
the industry of this section 1t is of no use
to cry free trade to the farmers, for they
find our manufacturing villages the most
reliable and profitable market they have
and are longing to see them double their
population; and they are fast learning that
the home factory is the best market III
which 10 sell their wool and buy their cloth.
1t is Of no use to tell the laborers in our
manufacturing establishments that We are
naturally an agricultural people and should
therefore drop business which cannot paw;
for they will persist in believing that it is
better for them to work in the factory al
three dollars per day and own a snug
bone in pleasant village, surro unded by
schools and churches, rather than to flee to
the frontier and raise wheat at twenty
five cents a bushel.

mischievous, and give a stability and dignity
to our Statutes that they never will attain
