Til, snbvei sion Bill Vetoed.

On the End instant the President Of the United
States sent into the House OF Representatives bis
veto ofth. atroeious bill entitled ian act oprovde
for the more efficient government of the rebel
States" the preamble to which falsely asserts tia!
there exist in those States no legal governments,
and no adequate protection Cor lie or property.
The bill, however, was passed over the veto, in
the House By vote Of l2j 10 Is, and in the Senate
by 80 to lO-Messrs. Reverdy johnson, Van VII

therefore, law.
The veto message OF the President is one o. tbs

the spirit of faction and tanaticsm shall bake died

found and patriotic production, emitting is author

1t pierccs, with the lance Of truth, the mass Of
falsehood which the authors OF the iniquity have
embodied in the measure, and shows cleSly that,
upon its face, the establishment Of peace and good
order is not the real object OF The bill.
He saws truly that 'the billpaces all the people OF
the ten States III ,rein named under tn absolute
domination of military rulers" lie also sets forth,
in clear terms, the manner in which biz OF at.iin-

FORTY YEARS.

This is period beyond the average OF human
life. To the rich invalid, who sdGfers with couty
and rheumatism, or an nasmed stomach, il is a
long and wearisome pilgrimage. To the man of
good health and constant employment Time flies
on silken wings. The interval between infancy
aud mature age seems but dream, leaving, il IL
true, some recoections that cast sadness andsha
upon the heart. but yet many pleasant memories.
1t is exactly fprty years to-day since the FIRE
Pass and FaRMERs' REPOSITORY were united. and
the first number of the consolidated papers was IS
sued. The Free Press was established at Hafper's
Ferry in May 1921, by John s. Gallaher. then in
his 25th year; the Repository By Richard Williams
in 1907 or ls0s. Youthful ambition urged the ono
to acquire, and advancing age induced the other to
dispose of the older of the two concerns. The me-
mory of our venerable and even-tempcred friend
we cherish kindly, as it doubtless is cherished BIZ.
this community in which be spent an honorable and
useful life.
From the old files of these papers what mass of
local events could be traced and pondsred How
many marriages and d ,aths recorded! How mary
changes in all respects! The desolating war OF
four years duration brought gloom and distress to
many a hearthstone. Yandal hands broke mp for
that period the village newspaper, and LETT some
thing of blank in the history of the times, yet the
spiits of our people are unbroken, our fields arc
still fertile and time and industry viii ere long
renovatc the fortunes OF many who have suffered.
or all, however, who are struggling to bring back
the ..good old times" none have harder hills 10
climb or more rugged paths to traverse than I'll,
printer With prospects often clouded and hopes
deusive he has to toll on increasingly. IN sunshine
or storm, the evil to contend with being the
misrue of bastard government, and the ignorance
and nsolenc, of the meanest set of officials that
ever diss Iccd a State or County.
The present conductors of the Free Press have
grown up with il from infancy, and naturally fee!
for it an affection which M adverse fortune can
eradicate. Its success in dirusing agreeable and
instructive information amongst readers far and
near and in stimulating that sort OF enterprise and
industry which renders Virginia home an object
to be sought for and cherished is among the proud
est of their recollections.
In making further Efforts to bring the paper up
to its old standard in size and means OF usefulness,
we only ask that friends BE- friends indeed, and that
the habit punctuality. which gives success to alila-
Dor NAV be observed by them rs a cardinal virtue.
/ With these reelection: note the anniversary, sad
express the hope that all who pasronise in Wy
! truth the "Old Family journal may live at least
! forty years more in prosperity, peace aud hlpPi-
/ ness.

ON the Roman question, has failed The
assemblage was 70 have taken place in
Munich on the 9th, but some difficulty was
experienced in the diplomatic correspond
ence before the day arrived. Paris was
then spoken Of The forms of representa-
ton were changed, but the same day was
adhered to. Subsequently, after the de-
livery Of a speech by Minister Rouher on
the subject Of the relations between Rome
and Italy, in which he declared that Italy
could never go TO Rome by force, the hesi-
fancy Of the powers assumed the form OF
open objection on the ground Of inutility.
1t has been sscertained to-day that the
conference or congress will not assemble,
as all the great powers have positively re-
fused to attend.
LoHDoN, Dec. l6.-The excitement oc~
casioned by the recent operations of the
Fenians has not abated. The press con.
tinues to denounce the outrage, and de-
mand vigorous measures for their proven
ton in the future. The Times, in an arti-
Gle on the subject, says Fenianism must
continually tend to the repetition Of such
acts as the Manchester riots and Clerken-
well explosion. Open war on the part OF
the Fenians Is on; Of the question. and ar
son and secret murder are their onlv hopes
Of success.
A man has been arrested at St. Albans
on suspicion OF having engineered the ex-
plosion at Clerkenwell Jail. II is said to
be the person who lit the fuze. His ex-
animation will take place tomorrow.
Casey was again brough, from prison to-
day and examined, but no evidence in re-

Correspondence of the Union and dispatch.
COLUMBIA, Dec. Is, 1867. Columbia,
for the past week, has presented all the
appearances of a business town. Wagons
of every size and description have made
the streets lively and noisy going to and
fro Almost invariably they are loaded
with cotton. Cotton has sold during the
week for 92c, that has refused l5c; so much
for the calculations of men. Everywhere
the talk is, quit cotton, quit cotton" and
doubtless most farmers in the county will
quit, because it does not pay. Indeed, al
ready the ground is so widely sown in
wheat that cotton cannot be planted to one
half the extent next year that it has been
this. Everybody tells me that there never
was 50 much wheat sown in the county.
Next to the great amount of cotton, the
number OF loose negroes is the most re-
markable sight that | have met in this
goodly little town. Very few of them seem
TO have anything to do, and very few of
them have any engagements for next year.
Nor do they seem to be at all uneasy about
it, although | am told that there is begin.
ming to be good deal Of anxiety among
the more sensible. But you see and hear
enough about the negro without my tell
ing you any more.
Columbia presents more the appearance
of returning health than any Of the county
sites that have visited. | find some forty
and more buildings in various stages toward
completion that have been started this year,
and am told that engagements are out for
twice as many more for next year. | find
many Nashville agencies actively at work
for their respective houses through the
county, showing that the county is appre-
ciated abroad.
An unfortunate difficulty occurred here
on Saturday night last, in which Mr.. Eli
iah Ashton was severely, though tits hoped
Seetehiemer. Otherwise the town and
county are quiet as usual, unless it be some
general and underlined dread among the
negroes of secret order that has recently
made its appearance, known as the "Ku-
klux Klan." No one, as yet, states pubs
licly who compose the KHAN" or what
are its purposes. One singular feature in
it is the unbroken silence maintained by
them while on parade. They dress in long
red gowns, red pants and red caps, with
black face-cloths covering their features
They have extended themselves all over
Maury and Giles counties. Some of the
negroes are wonderfully exercised over
them, and some of the white Radicals have
been heard to express the opiEion that they
were "Rebel bush-whackers," but as yet
no one can saw who or what they are

SUPPOSE the government should resume
specie payments would not the bonds held
in foreign countries, amounting, it is esti-
mated to FIVE or six hundred millions be
returned to this country and converted
into money? They cost the present
holder from fifty to seventy cents on the
dollar, and there would be a powerful
inducement to draw gold and silver out
of the country.

THE official report stated that there was
in the Treasury about $3.50, 100000 of
gold An argument in the same paper
claimed that there was at least S450,0O0,
600 in the country. The latter sum is
almost twice as much as was computed to
exist in 1860. The certain effect of sus-
pension Of specie payments is to drive
gold out of the country, and it has been
driven out. Who can think, with the
present enormous expenditure and inter
est debt, of commencing payments in
cold ?

says that the negro conventions in the

part of their work They are letting the
old names of the States remain un-

would sound much better as Ashango,
