AN EPIGRAMMATIC Report. Louis
Blanc saw the last great Reform meet
ing in London, at which the govern.
ment had no use for its array of troops
aud constables, and he gives this neat
report in letter to the Paris Temps:
1--WE are this day what We were yes
terday. London has slept soundly and
awakes in good humor. Not the shad.
ow OF cannon has appeared. No
sword has leapt from its scabbard. The
slaves of the policemen are innocent of
blood. The city is occupied with its
affairs. Hyde Park is superb. Not a
branch of IA tree is broken, not a flower
disturbed. MIR. Walpole is
biting his fingers off for having had,
even for an instant, the idea of playing
at power, and Mr.. Beales is the cock OF
the walk, and was on Monday evening

for the admission Of Colorado. He vetoes
the bill on the ground that the population
is only %, 900, as appears by the last cen |us,
which is less than that of any other State
which has heretofore asked to be admitted;
also on the grounds ofthe evident incongru-
ity of the legislation Of the Territory and
that Of Congress on the subject of the third
section namely: The conditions precedent
Of permitting citizens to vote without dis
tinction of race or color; and further, as to
the legislation proposed for carrying out
the provisions of the bill, the term of one
half of the members of the Territorial legis'
Iature having expired on the Sd inst. The

be submitted to the decision of the people
but says that within the sixty days specified
it will bo impossible to reach certain por-
