Gov. BAKER has made an excellen.

Gov. BAKER has made an excellent
commencement. His prompt and
forcibIe veto of the ridiculously I'M
constitutional bill passed by the last
Legislature Of this State, to author
ize the Board of County Commissions
ers to make appropriations to aid the
construction of manufacturing 'estab-
lishments and machine shops" shows
him to be a man of nerve. The OBJ
jeetiens. to the bill are so obvious that
it is incomprehensible how any set of
men having two grains of sense or the
smallest modicum of regard for their
oaths to support the Constitution,
could ever break them.-Ne1o Albany

me RaiIrOad Question.

The Democratic city papers are
keeping up a daily talk about
the opposition to Railroad projects.
It is hardly necessary to say that all
such charges originate ia the excited
brains of political tricksters who
have lost the control of public affairs,
and are seeking by Misrepresentation
to raise false issues, and thereby Sc
cure possession of the city offices.
We do not know of sensible man of
any influence in the city who is OPP
posed to the building of the Hender-
son and Nashville Railroad, the only
project now before the public The
Union Republican party has, in pub
lie meeting, resolved that it will sus-
tain the new City Council in making a
liberal subscription toward that road,
on conditions consistent with the in-
terests of the city. There can be no
question about matter upon which
ali are dgIOSu, anu IL Cdu vi y
result in injury to the project
to insist that those who have pub
icly committed themselves to. it, are
its enemies. We suggest to the real
and interested friends of the Hen
derson and Nashville Company that
this constant and runcalled-for per-
version of the facts by the sci con
stituted champions of that enterprise
are doing it no possible good. If
the Union Republican party ofEvans-
vile, which represents three-fourths
of the mercantile, property, and cap
ital interests of the city are not its
friends, it has none here who can do
anything towards grading the road,
buying the iron, or equipping it when
finished The company wants money,
not words; it needs solidj pecuniary
supports not political juggling. Let
us hear no more of such false charges.

is singular announcement. We
have been informed by Southern
papers, and their Northern allies, that
the negroes are an ignorant, thrift
less and worthless class, unable to
provide for themselves, and yet they
seem to be better off than large
portion of the whites. When, in ad-
dition, the fact is taken into consid-
Grafton that the negroes have no re-
sources whatever to depend upon;
save their own labor and ingenuity,
with the bitter hostility Of the
wealthiet.ia Glasses arrayed against
them, their success. in supporting
themselves is the more remarkable.

me that the Government creditors Of

CURES the bonds to be paid in such money
as other creditors are paid with by the
United States. The popular idea is that
the SOS arc payable in gold but that
arises from the fact that Mr.. Chase, whilc
Secretary Of the Treasury, upon the first
issue in 1862, had q letter addressed to him
by some bankers as to whether these bonds
would be paid in gold, and he replied,
what was true at that time, that all the OBJ
legations of the United States had been
paid in gold, and it was proper to presume
that they would be so paid in future. And
upon the strength Of that letter the bonds
were deemed gold-payable as we'll as gold
bearing, although it was in exact opposi-
ton to the words Of the contract"

Proposed Amnesty Proclamation -

Case OF MIR. Rollins. &c,
Case OF MIR. Rollins, dc.

WASHINGTON, September 5.-The pro-
posed amnesty proclamation will be sub
mitted by the President 10 the Cabinet to-
morrow, and if agreed upon may be pro-
mulgated on Monday next.
There have been received here to-day
numerous Inquiries By kilograms from the
cities of the North asking if it is true that
| General Grant has denounced Mr.. John
son whether General Grant leaves the
Cabinet immediately, and what is the ma
turc Of the quarrel between the President
and General Grant All these inquiries
are suggested by a fresh batch of sensa-
tional paragraphs sent from this city to the
newspapers.
Upon the best authority, I can say posi-
lively that no quarrel has taken place be-
tween the officials named that their in
%tercourse is courteous and respectful ;
that where their vicwsdiffcr, such variance
is expressed dispassionately and in a
friendly manner, COMFORTING with the dig
nifty Of their respective positions. Gene
raj Grant has not informed any one that
he intends to withdraw from the Cabinet,
| and the President has no desire nor in
tention of getting rid of General Grant, as
minated, and there is reason to believe
| that the latter will continue as Secretary
OF War until the Senate disposes Of the
suspension of Mr.. Stanton.
1t is reported ID the street that one
class Of Republicans here recently advised
General Grant to withdraw from the War
Department. Another class advised him
to remain, but the General made no re-
Spouse.
The reports Of the efforts to induce the
President to remove Mr.. Rollins as Com
missioner of Internal Revenue are exagge-
rated. No combined movement in that
direction has been made, and no good legal
grounds are suggested for his suspension.
Mr.. Rollins is regarded by all officials here
as one whose integrity is unimpeachable.
No one is seeking to become his successor,

COLLECTION OF THE TAX on WHIsKEY.-
Another proposition for the reformation of
the manner of collecting the whiskey tax
has been submitted to the Revenue De-
partmentfor its consideration, which mere
y provides that when the liquor is shipped
from one point to another out of bond it
shall be accompanied by a receipt for the
payment of the tax upon it from the COT
lector of the district in which it was manu-
featured. 1t is claimed that by this means
the title to the liquor will always be kept
perfect, the same as title to realty, and
that collectors and inspectors will thereby
have better proof of the payment of the
tax on the article arriving in their district
than they now have from the brands on
the barrels, which q be forged much
easier than a tax receipt.-Chronicle.
