The Presidents Veto.

At the last session of Congress- the House Of
Representatives passed bill granting suffrage
to the negroes of the District of Columbia. II
was not passed in the Senate at that session
because, the elections being about to take place
and knowing that it would be vetoed by the
President, they were afraid to risk the elections
upon the question Of negro suffrage, and deter
mined to postpone it till the elections were over.
AS soon as they could, after the re-assembling
of Congress, they passed the BILL The Presi-
dent promptly vetoed it in message, the argu-
ment of which is conclusive and unanswerable.
Congress took no time to consider it, but, as
previously determined upon, passed the bill
over the veto as soon as the reading of it was
concluded

Homestead Bill.

1t will be seen by reference to the proceedings
Of the Legislature that homestead bill is now
under consideration and we think it probable
that it may become law This bill exempts
100 acres of land, or real estate to the value Of
$l,500 from execution. But it arrests no lien
or execution, neither can it impair or diminish
the lien upon the realty of any debt contracted
prior to its passage.
The Richmond Times says that, 'as home.
stead law will exempt from execution a very
large amount of the land of the State, it will
deprive the owners Of very small estates of all
means of securing money. The mechanics and
small farmers, whose realty is worth only fifteen
hundred dollars, will, after the passage of the
proposed homestead law, find it impossible to
borrow money, because they will then be pro-
hibited by law from rendering the species of Sc
curity which creditors invariably regard as the
safest -

the vote was unanimous.

calm resignation the wrongs which may be in
