ANOTHER YErn MESSAGE.

The President on Monday last sent
- the Senate his veto of the District
Of Columbia Suffrage bill His objec-
ations to the bill are three-fold. In the
first place, he objects to it on the ground
that the qualified electors of the Dis
trict of Columbia unanimously voted
against it last spring. Secondly, he
objects to it for the reason that the ne
gross are not competent to exercise the
elective franchise intelligently. And
rhe-objects to it, evidently, in the main
because it proposes to elevate the color
. ed race. If the race were Cinnamon,
. Hottentots, Mexicans or Esquimaux to
be benefited by the act, the second
Moses would probably have urged no
objections; but his "poor white trash "
prejudice against "the nigger" was too
strong to be overcome. The main por-
ton of the veto message, however, is
taken up with labored explanation of
the relative powers of the Executive and
Legislative branches Of the Govern
ment, and declaration that Con-
gress and not the Executive has usurp-
ed power 1t is carefully written, and
presents the arguments against negro
suffrage as clearly and ably as they
can be made up by the opponents of
the measure. The veto can do no harm,
as Congress will pass the bill over it.

The following is a brief and truthful
sketch of the history of Johnny Steele "the

FINANCIAL,

The well posted Commercial editor of the
Cleveland Leader, says of the financial pros
poets:
The year 1867 opens quietly, in financial
and commercial matters, and while there is
perhaps hardly one individual in the land
who has not turned over the new leaf" " in
cidental to the beginning Of a new year,
trade adheres to its old course, and compels
the employment of the stereotyped comment
"auiet and steady" There is, however,
manifestiy feeling that this is rot much
longer to be the rule, and business men on
all hands express the conviction that revi-
val Of business is not remote, and are look
ing ahead-not very far either-to a consid-
erably improved trade. But until Congress
acts there is a stumbling block IL the way of
resuscitatiou, and great caution will be OBJ
served. We have abundant rumors of what
our national lawmakers propose, some of
them Of quite cheerful character, but the
markets are no longer influenced by them.
and the fact demonstrates that business men
will have a definite understanding before
proceeding further, Among the newest
givings- Out, we note very positive assertions
that leading members of Congress are dis
posed 10 leave the currency alone, and We
trust such will prove the fact.

ENLARGEMENT OF rHE JOURNAI..

We present the Journal to its read
srs this week in an enlarged form, with
handsomer heading, aud some other
improvements in the mechanical ar
rangement of the paper. An addition
al column in width has been added to
each page, making thirty-six instead of
as heretofore thirty-twe columns alto
gether, and the columns have been
heightened an inch each, giving an ad-
ditional space equivalent 10 one column
and third. The enlargement in width
and length gives us considerably over
five columns Of space more than that
contained in the former size We dis
carded the old weather-beaten head
after due consideration, having a strong
inclination TO be conservative ia the
matter; but now that the change is
made, the improvement is is satisfactory.
There are no County papers now in the
State and but few in the United States
larger than the Journal We purpose
making it equal to the best in all other
respects. 1t may be considered an in-
auspicious time to make changes involv-
ing increased expense, in view of an APP
pretended general financial furry, but
We hope by doing SO to extend our cir
culation moro widely and thus increase
our receipts. The year 1867 promises
to be an era Of extraordinary interest
commercial, political, general The
journal does not have the immodesty
Of pretending to give the news of all
events in full, but 1t will endeavor to
present to its readers the sum and sub
stance of all the important news. The
Local department will continue to be
oD~ specially; and we shall advocate
such improvements in the city and
county as Will tend 10 build up and ad-
vance the interests of both. We have
endesvored to systematize the reading
matter into departments, and distribute
it in liberal quantity through the pages.
We return our hearty thanks to the
public for their liberal subscription and
advertising patronage, and ask our
friends in all parts of the county to use
their best exertions to extend the cir
culation of the Journal in 1861.

If what the N. Y. Journal of Com
merce SAYS be true, it would appear that
Secretary McCulloch is preparing COM
fortably for an emergency. Abiding
to the proposition made to exchange
the Five-Twenties now held in Europe
for five per cents payable in England
and Germany, that paper says it is un-
derstood by those behind the scenes
that Mr.. McCulloch is aiming chiefly to
aid in the establishment of a large
American house in London, at whose
head he shall stand, stepping out of the
Treasury Department in due time for
that purpose.
