MORO SUFFRAGE IN THE DISTRICT OF Co
LCBIA.-The President, it is understood, is
preparing an elaborate veto message, which
will probably be submitted to Congress to-mor-
row, against the bill granting general suffrage
to the negroes Of the District Of Columbia.
The bill will doubtless be passed over the
veto; but the message will still, we expect, be
very interesting in disclosing tho opinions and
views Of the Executive on the. general ques-
ton involved and in reference to the OK.

THE REPEAL OF THE AMNESTY CLAUSE
The Senate has concurred In the House bill
repeating the section Of an act q the last
Congress relating to the rebellion confisca.
ton, &c, which empowers the President to
grant amnesties. There was long debate in
the Senate on Friday ON the wisdomand expe-
diency Of this repeal but we cannc perceive
that II amounts to anything more than an ex-
preston Of the wishes Of the two houses In the
matter, because the constitution expressly con-
fers upon the President the "powe to grant
reprieves and pardons for offences committed
against the United States" We presume that
the object Of the bill Is o remonstnnce from
Congress to the President, for fear hat other
wise he might be persuaded to ollow the
advice Of Greeley in granting UNIVERSAL am
nesty to the rebels Of the South, hi or miss.
II is only bill 70 head OF Greeley.

European Ovations to Our Now York YACHT
Tho Atlantic cable dispatches daily continue
the record of European ovations to our New
York yachtmcn. Prince Christian, the Danish
son-in-law Of Queen Victoria, visited the yachts
on Thursday, and afterwards they were invited
to visit Windsor Castle. They were entertained
yesterday at banquet, given in their honor
by the Royal Thames Yacht Club. A similar
banquet has been offered To them by the Ameri-
can residents at Paris. In Russia great inter-
est has been manifested in the late race, and
the Imperial Yacht Club proposes to invite
them 10 visit st. Petersburg. Throughout
Europethe extraordinary and successful rum Of
the Henrietta and her companions in midwin-
ter ACROSS the stormy Atlantic has aroused
universal attention. All the maritime nations
particularly have been led by 1t to take imme-
diate practical interest in those modern Ameri-
can improvements in ship building and in sea-
manshiI which have been so admirably illus
trated BY the race The honors, royal, muni-
cipal and popular, spontaneously bestowed
upon our New York yachtmen, are gratifying
TO high degree. But they will chiefly con-
gratulat themselves that even their .flattering
reception abroad. as we'll a. the winning Of

Progress Of Correct Views ON the Subject Of
Currency and National Finance.
We perceive that correct views with regard
to the national currency and finances are max
ing way in the minds of both our public men
and the people generally. We receive great
many communications showing this 4; the news
papers, with few exceptions, are becoming
gress against any curtailment Of the national
currency and against immediate resumption of
specie payments, and in favor Of an exclusive
legal tender circulation; and the members of
both houses are introducing resolutions and
proposing measures to the same effect. We
may say, in fact that common sense is gaining
the ascendency on this subject People begin
TO see that the republic has been BEAUTIFULLY
prosperous under our present currency circu-
lation that experience has upset the theories
of the bullionists, and that the business of the
country is placed in position independent of
foreign money traders or other foreign in
fuences. The pretended forebodings of the inn
mediate resumption theorists of disaster in the
future have no foundation. Our own experience
and the experience of other nations under
similar state Of things. as well as common sense,
show the fallacy and danger Of unwise contrac-
ton and forced resumption. With an ample
and yet properly limited legal tender currency,
and no other, it would in the course Of few
years be at par with gold, and in ten years or
less this system would make us entirely inde-
pendent Of foreign monetary Influences. We
should really revolutionize in time the ideas
and practice Of the world in the matter of cur
rency. We hope Senators Sherman, Poland and
others in the Senate, IS well as Kelley, Stevens
and other members of the House, who seem to
have correct views, will enlighten their col
leagues and give us sound and an established
system of currency and finance, based upon
convertible legal tenders.

sen.,or Ytoxv.rA : Resolution ON Mexico.
In the United State Senate yesterday Sena-
tor Howard presented resolution on Mexican
affairs, to the effect "Tlra. the Committee on
Foreign Relations be instruc ted to inquire and
report to the Senate" the 70 flowing points
which we enumerate for the sake OF ciearness
First, aThe present relations between France
and the republic of Mexico" Second. "Tne
extent, both with respect to population and
territory Of the successes Of Macmillan IN his
endeavors to overthrow that republic" Third,
1.-THE amount and character of his military
force, including his French auxiliaries."
Fourth, "The action Of the Executive OF the
government Of the United States In reference
to the Intervention of France in the affairs Of
Mexico, including any treaty or project Of
treaty proposed. assented to or recommended
by our Minister to France, with . view to
settlement of the difficulties between France
and Mexico Fifth, "The present prospect Of
the withdrawal of the French troops from
MEXICAN soil, and the probability, in the case
Of such withdrawal, Of Macmillan being able
to maintain his standing there" Sixth, "That
for the purposes of such inquiries said COM
mittee be authorized to send for persons and
papers,"
Here we have FIVE very important and in
teresting questions, the inquiry into which
would be necessarily very laborious and alb
sorb much OF the time of committee not
otherwise engaged. Now, the Committee on
Foreign Relations is not the proper one for
this business They have vast amount of
other work to do, and if Mr.. Towards resolu-
ton be turned over to them for action thereon
the probability is that report would not be
forthcoming at the close of the present nor
even of the next session. The proper way
would be to appoint special committee or
send an embassy to Mexico, where all or most
of the necessary evidence and information
could be had without any great expense. If
no committee Of the Senate can be found will
ing to undergo the trouble and risk of
journey to Mexico, or if other embassies should
back out and 90 home, in imitation of General
Sherman and ex-senator Campbell. we will
furnish Congress with one Of our correspondents
for the purpose of having the work performed
speedily and to the entire satisfaction of the
people and government of the United States

1t Is curious to notice the anxiety which has
been manifested in certain quarters to produce
the impression that, in spite Of appearances to
the contrary, the year 1867 is TO be year Of
peace. The head of the new kingdom of Italy
and the Emperor Of the French have both
favored us with their sentiments, and in each
case the burden of the song has been "peace."
from recent telegram we learn that it con-
siders England's ''only difficulty" to be with
the United States-a difficulty which will best
be obviated by speedy and amicable adjust
ment OF outstanding differences" The state
OF affairs in Europe may or may not be such a.
to warrant the Times to infer that England has
nothing to apprehend in that direction We
are not, perhaps, SO sanguine ~ the Times in
our expectations that England will be able to
keep herself clear Of any possible imbroglio
that may take place on the Continent. or this,
however, we are certain that If England has as
little to dread ON the side Of Europe as she has
to dread on the side Of America-providad
always she acts the honorable psrt-matters
are square enough. The difficulties between
her and the United States are reduced to the I
narrowest possible point. The Outstanding
differences" between the two countries are not
numerous All recent events indicate the
growth Of mutual good feeling. There is one
thing, however, on which the people of the
United States are decided, and that is the inn
mediate settlement Of the Alabama claims on
the basis proposed by their government Com
promise OF any kind is now out of the question.
The money must be paid down. Let that be
done, and done promptly, and it will not only
remove all differences" but exercise power
full influence in deepening and intensifying that
good feeling which ought ever to exist between
the two countries.

Is this q Grain Growing Country 7

1t is to be yet proved whether this is real
ly great grain growing country. In COM
parison with Europe our wheat product is
small in proportion to population-insuf
fcient for the increasing number of consum-
ers. We have been in the habit of regard
ing the valley of the Ohio as the granary of
the world, but it hardly produces corn and
wheat enough for its own consumption
More than that, it is the opinion of scientific
men that the grain and grass-producing
region does not extend far beyond the west
ern limits of Missouri. Beyond that there
is little moisture-not enough to give fertii-
ty toSthe soil. If this cannot be overcome
by irrigation or other artificial means, the
visions of a vast and populous empire that
is to arise in the heart of the continent are
without semblance of reality. But how are
the present population and its natural in
crease, and the great additions by immigra-
ton, to have food the next year? That is a
pressing question. Without an abundance
of food at a cheap rate the country cannot
thrive. Its commerce, manufactures, all its
industries must anguish. Our reports as
to the growing wheat are favorable as far as
they go. There will be better supply of
grain this year than there was last, but more
will be required for increasing population
Unless good crops be made this year, it may
not be unreasonable to prepare for the event
which judicious and intelligent business men
apprehend and are providing for. We have
heard great deal about improved modes of
cultivation. The introduction of mechani.
cal aids to agriculture has been relied upon
to give us large crops with few hands
While we wait for the patent Office to secure
twenty patents day to our ingenious inven-
tors, the land will not, we hope, lie fallow.-
We may, in fact, wait long time before
manual labor can be entirely dispensed with.
The present trouble is that too small a por
ton of our people are willing to guide the
plough.-NatiOndl Intelligencer.

Means of the Company.

Estimating the distance to be built by the Union
Pacific to be / sos miles, the United States Gov
eminent issues its Six per cent. Thirty year bonds
to the Company as the road is finished at the av-
erage rate of about $3.50 per mile, amounting
to S44, 20s, 900.
The Company is also permitted to issue its own
First Mortgage Bonds to an equal amount, and at
the same time, which by special Act of Congress
made First Mortgage on the entire line, the
bonds of the United States being subordinate to
them.
The Government makes a donation of u, 500
of land to the mile amounting to 20, 032, 600
acres, estimated TO be worth $50, 900, 000 making
the total resources, exclusive of the capital, $llS
416, 900 but the full value of the lands cannot
now be realized.
The authorized Capital Stock Of the Company
is one hundred million dollars, of which FIVE mil
lions have already been paid in, and of which it
is not supposed that more than twenty-five mil
lions at most will be required.
The cost of the road is estimated by competent
engineers to be about hundred million dollars,
exclusive of equipment.

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., June 5.-The Pres
ident and party arrived this afternoon and
were welcomed by DIR. Swayne, President of
the university. President johnson returned
thanks for this manifestation of friendship.
He trusted that one of the leading studies Of
this university would be the principles of the
constitution and free government He loved
his country and regarded the constitution as
the palladium of our safety and our liberties,
and by it in the future, as in the past, he in.
tended to stand. Our principles of govern
ment were, if properly understood, sufficient.
ly expansive to embrace not only all the
states of the Union, but the entire civilized
world. In conclusion, the President encourag.
ed the pupils of the institution, who were lis.
teners, to works of usefulness, reminding
them that paths of honor were open to all
The President was frequently interrupted by
applause. Seward, Randall and General
Sickles also spoke, and the cermonies of the
reception closed. The commencement eyer

HENRY COUNTY.
Total,

The astonishingly large vote in Geneseo
needs explanation. Last spring the people
of Geneseo, knowing they had over 500
voters, elected an assistant supervisor, but
the county board refused to admit him, on
the ground, we believe, that they did not
cast 500 votes when he was elected. He
was excluded from the board by one MAORI
", and the supervisor from Galva voted to
exclude him. This reused the ire of the Gene
SEQ people against Galva, and they determin-
ed to poll 800 votes, at the judicial election,
and show the board that they were entitled
to an assistant supervisor. They polled over
800 and that question may be regarded as
settled.
We do not suppose that Mr. Bennett was
really censurable for the vote of the super.
visor from his town, but the south part of
Henry is jealous of the growing strength of
the north part, and naturally sought an ex-
cuse for excluding this extra supervisor. The
north part of the county desired this acces-
sion of strength in the board, and this feeling
had something to do with the vote against
Bennett in the north part of the county.
1t is also true that the north part of the
county would prefer judge in Rock Island
to one on the Burlington road as he would
be more accessible to them.
The result, we hope, will teach all politi,
cal demasogues not to again attempt Pc,
litical test on circuit judge.
