3 gooh matters. we y Z accent Il. as...th.

IN such matters. we accept it. as,-the
best that could be devised In Indi-
ana we do not advocate the extension
of. the elective franchise to negroes,
and the Republican Legislature has
refused to strike the word . white -
from the Constitutional voting
provision and the School. Law.
Neither do the National Union
men of Kentucky, as far as we under
stand their sentiments, favor any
such changes in their Constitution or
Statutes. In the Union Congressional
Convention in the Covington District,
last week, Mr.. Nixon, prominent
politician of that section of Ken
lucky, stated the position of the party
correctly. He said:
He said if he were a mem Der of the Ohio
Legislature, he would not favor a change
of the State Constitution so as to allow
negro suffrage. AS citizen of Kentucky,
he was opposed to negro suffrage But in
South Carolina, where the spirit of rebel
lion is still rampant, and where Union
men are murdered in cold blood because Of
their loyalty, and where they can have no
protection to life or property at the hands
of the rebel authorities, he might be in
favor of comforting the right of suffrage
upon the negroes, who are all loyal, as a
matter of necessity to the Union men, and
the only method of organizing a loyal
State Government uf
On the charge of miscegnation, we
would suggest to our contemporary
that the less said about that
the wiser for an organ of the Rebel
Democracy. If there ever has existed
In America any practical advocacy of
thatabomination, it was and is, among
the Slaveocrats of the South, who all
went into the Secession movement,and
are now found within the folds of
the Rebel Democracy.

THE Courier says there is no truth
in the street report, which we referred
to in the Journal of Saturday, that
the leaders Of the Vanderburgh De
mocracy had applied to it the gag, on
the JOHN YOU'VE BRowN question.
The Courier says it is only silent until
it shall receive some documentary
evidence on the subject. Is it to the
effect that the blood and thunder,
soldier shooting letter of s the gallant
and eloquent champion Of the Demo
cratic cause" is a forgery? Or have
you procured a certificate from
Brown that he has recanted? Docu-
ments to either point would be APP

Governor Bakers Vetoes.

We publish this morning Governor
BAKERS veto of the Act of the
General Assembly, authorizing the
County Commissioners to make ap-
preparations in aid of the construc-
ton of manufacturing establish
ments. The objections to the Act are
stated by the Governor SO plainly,
and with SO much force, that it
is unnecessary for us to refer to
them. The reasons given by the
Governor for Withholding his approx
al, and thereby preventing its enact
ment as law, will be approved by all
citizens and tax payers, unless it be
the small class who procured the pas
sage of the Act, for their Individual
benefit. The evil of special legisla-
ton for private or local speculation,
is growing one, and its tendency to
abuse was never more apparent than
in the last General Assembly. 1t is.
well for the people, that the Govern
or has the courage to interpose his
Constitutional authority in such
cases, where Legislative ''rings pro-
cure the passage of such acts, so
plainly contrary to the public policy.
sieIt will be seen by our special India
napolis dispatch that Gov. BAKER
has vetoed two other acts ofothe GEN.
eral Assembly the one regulating
the tariff on railroad rates; the other
authorizing stock subscriptions and
donations on the part of towns and
townships. We, are not advised as to
the grounds of objection; but in adj
vance of information, we are safe in
asserting that it is no captious OF triv-
ial reasons which would induce Gov.
BAKER to defeat the acts of the Gen
eral Assembly. If the objections are
as conclusive as in the veto. published
this morning, we are satisfied there
will be. general iaequiescence in
them. 8l si.s IAD HatIaeH# haR

ne OWenSD0rO monitor, 1t Will be
remembered, charged the JOURNAL
with being " in favor of.negro suffrage,
miscegenation,. confscation. territpri-
alization, and driving out or destroy
ing the whites of the Southern States
and giving that section to the negroes
and-Yankees, and the remainder of
the country over to Abolition despot-
ISM" Being called upon by US for
the proof. the Monitor cites our sup
port Of the Military Reconstruction
bill The advocacy of that bill in no
wise commits us to any of
these measures, unless it be the
first.--That bill does not pro-
vide for confscation, or in any way
contemplate it, 1t does not make the
rebel States territories; it even goes
so far as torecognize theJ Johnson Cow
errors as having provisional author
ity. AS to the charge that the Re-
construction bill, by any possible
construction, contemplates the ''driv-
ing out or destroying Of the whites of
the Southern States and giving that
section to the negroes and the
Yankees" it is the meanest kind of
cross roads politicians balderdash; it
is waste of time to refute it.
The Reconstruction bill it is true
does confer upon the negroes of the
rebel States the right of suffrage We
have doubted the wisdom of the
measure, and think that Congress by
restricting suffrage to loyal men, could
have more safely secured the reorgan-
izaton of those States upon an ac-
-ceptable basis of thorough devotion
to the country Our acquaintance
with parties teaches us that there is
no political organization which can so
readily degrade itself to obsequi-5
Gus fawning for votes as the Rebel
Democracy; and our fear is that they
will so abjectly and hypocriticaliy
court the negroes that they will steal
away their votes, and by this means
againb mount to power aud office.
But some measure of Recon
structlon was imperatively, rneces-
sary, and as the one adopted by Con-
.gress is the one which has been asked
for by the loyal men Of. the rebel
States, who alone should be consulted
