" AsIfNGToN, March 1.-The President
has proclaimed Nebraska State Of the
Union
There is the most intense anxiety here
relative to the expected veto message. A
long Cabinet consultation to-day resulted
in alterations, which have caused delay in
sending it to Congress. It is understood
that the Executive attaches immense I'M
portance to the document
WHIPPING. The House on Friday pass
cd provisoes-:
1st. For the disbanding of the militia
forces, making it the duty of the officers Of
the army, navy, and Freedmen's Bureau
to prohibit whipping or manning the per-
son as punishment for crime, by the SEN
tence of civil authorities, or courts, OF mill
tary courts.
Pending it's consideration,
Mr.. LIE Blond submitted resolution
reciting the recent vote in the Ohio Legi-
stature refusing to strike cut of the State
Constitution the word white y thereby re-
pudating the action Of the Republican ma
iority in Congress and instructing the
Committee on Reconstruction to report a
bill establishing a military goyernmentov-
er the people of the so-called State of.Ohio
until such time as the people thereof adopt
a republican form Of government. Laugh
ter.
Mr.. Stevens thought he could almost
agree to the resolution He was not quite
sure that Ohio should not be guaranteed a
republican form of government and also
Pennsylvania.

Extra Session Of the Legislature.

In conformity with the expressed wishes
of the members of both branches of the
General Assembly, Governor Peirpoint
has issued his proclamation for an extra
session, to meet on Monday last, the ex-
tended session having expired on Satur-
day previous.
In addition to several Important bills
of public interest, undisposed Of, the Lee
gislature will no doubt give a respectful
consideration to the suggestion of the Go
vernon relative to the call Of a State Con-
vention for she purpose Of conforming the
Constitution TO the requirements Of the
lase acts of Congress-. The Legislature
will doubtless act wisely, and with refer
ence to the public good and the sentiments
of those whom they represents. They will
have to consider whether it is better to
"bear the Ills we have" passively and pa
tiently, to the bitter end, than "Ay to
those we know not Of" by compromising
our cherished principles, without the least
assurance that we shall be restored to the
enjoyment Of cur lost rights as State
The Legislature cannot ignore the import
ant fact, that, with the radical party, it
is foregone conclusion that the s'vef'els''
shall not vote at the next presidential cleo
tieaa Would it not be better to endure
OR misfortuncs paesively? We think SO.

ANOTHER argument used by the monopol-
lists and bond holders, to get the people to
vote money into their pockets, in this Peo-
ria swindle, is this: They go to poor men,
men who have but little property, laborers,
&c. &c. and say: "What do you care how
much money is voted on to the town? you
don't have to pay it! your taxes don't a.
mount to anything! it won't increase your
taxes 25 cents year and it'll give you lots
of work"
This argument is a falsehood and an in
suit to every poor man. The poor men al
ways pay the largest taxes in proportion to
their property. They have no money to in
vest in bonds, and no property that they can
secrete from the assessor. The results that
they have to pay taxes on all they are worth,
and often more than they are worth.
Not so with the rich. They convert their
money into bonds, and, while it draws them
big interest they pay no taxes on it. They
have property which the assessor never
finds, and their assessments are always less,
in proportion to their property, than are
the assessments of the poor. An addition,
therefore, of even % cents year to the
poor mans taxes is more than 25 times
that amount to the taxes of the rich.
The poor, and the men who pay small
sums in taxes, are the men who should look
sharp to public expenditures, and keep down
public debts, because they pay the largest
taxes IN proportion to their property, while
the rich have the means to take advantage
of public necessities and gobbls up the in
debtedness of the people.
The story about giving the laborers lots
of work is humbug. 1t won't give them a
days work, for no parallel line will be built.
The interest of the poor, and of those who
pay small taxes, is to turn out and vote down
this swindle.
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1867-11-04

SOME OF the bondholders, who draw big
interest and pay no taxes on their bonds are
very anxious to get people to vote them
selves in debt $4,000 so they can gobble
up the money Among other stories they
tell,sto get voters, is that if they can get an
other road alongside of Cables road they
can bring in their coal and undersell Cable.
Is there any sense, reason or truth in the
story Not a bit, for they will not be
able to build another road. Why not? Be
it, nor the influence to control it. If the
people of this town vote any money to the
enterprise, ii viii neither build the road nor
control its policy. The controlling interest
will be in Peoria, Stark and Henry, and
they will expend the money there. They
may be able to build ten or dozen miles out
of Peoria, and then mortgage the road. The
controlling interest will then try to get the
road extended to Rock Island, and they will
do it the cheapest way possible. They don't
care ANYTHING about the rivalries of coal
dealers in Rock Island their only object
will be to get a road to Rock Island and
any fair arrangement they can make to unite
with the road ROW running to Coal Valley
will be done. Any good business man can
see that, without argument. The result will
be that every dollar voted viii be gobbled
up BY the Peoria interest and the interest
now owning and running the Coal Valley
road.
We think our people have voted and paid
| about enough money to that interest, and
unless they want to see $4,000 swallowed
| up,by the same Leviathan which swallowed
what they voted years ago, they had better
| turn out and vote it down.

property holders and prominent men will go
to the polls, early, tomorrow, and stay there

who are interested in keeping this debt from
being saddled upon the people turn out early.

THE OpERA.--A large and fashionable
audience greeted Signor Lottis Opera
Troupe at Metropolitan Hall on Saturday
evening. The production of an operai in this
city, Secundtms artem, with scenic effects,
orchestra and chorus, was novelty, and as
it seemed very agreeable one, if we may
judge by the unstinted applause. The lead
ing roles of Faust were creditably sustained.
Marie Frederick rendered her difficult part
with deheacy and passion. iIadlle Lang, in
the sprightly and livher airs gained much
and deserved applause. We have not space,
however, to notice the artists separately.
They sustained themselves we'll enough to
give us provincials taste of Gounod's grand
opera, and that will suffice just now. We
never have been blessed in this section with
an entertainment comparable TO this; wheth-
o. this is saying much or little, we advise all
who wish to know to go and judge for them
selves.
