The Work Finished.

The supplemental BILL" which was on
Saturday vetoed by the President, was
with very great promptness passed by both
Houses of Congress by majorities largely
in excess of the requisite two-thirds. In
the House, the vote stood Ia to 25; in the
Senate, 40 to Z So the congressional
work is finished. The South has the pro-
gramme before it, from which there is no
escape. The present Congress, more de-
termined to accomplish this plan even than
the last, has just begun its term of two
years. No change can take place until
those two years elapse. The President,
unable to put any check upon its action
by his veto, is discharging what he con-
ceives his duty by enforcing the edicts OF
Congress. The Supreme Court, which has
by turns been derided and rejected as
authority by North and South, is as utterly
impotent to restrain Congress as the Presi-
dent-indeed, more so. Therefore the
work cut out by Congress must perforce
be accomplished. The man who now folds
his arms in passive contemplation of pass
ing events-who uses not his influence and
his own energies to assist in shaping those
events, or at least depriving them as far as
possible of evil consequences-has no just
idea of his duty to his counrry-no proper
comprehension of the perils of the COM
munity-no practical view Of his preemi-
nent social obligations, and how he is to
discharge them.

Congress on the Northern States.

Congress on the Northern States.
On Saturday last Mr.. WILSON introduced
into the Senate bill declaring that the
14th article of amendment to the Constitu-
tion having been adopted, {" there shall be
"no denial anywhere of the elective fran
"chise to any male citizen on account Of
"color or race"
This is unblushing assumption. There
is no authorityin the constitutional amend
ment for it. That provides that "when
q the right to vote at any election for the
"choice of electors for President and Vice
President of the United States" congress-
men, legislators, &C., Of State, is denied
to "any male inhabitants of such State
"being twenty-one years of age, and citi-
"zens of the United States, or in any way
" abridged, except for participation in re-
"bellion or other crime, the basis of rep
resentation therein shall be reduced in
" the proportion which the number of such
I" male citizens shall bear to the whole
"number Of male citizens twenty lone years
"of age in such State" So that, so far
from taking away from the States the right
to disfranchise persons on account of color,
or what not, the amendment plainly recog-
nizes that right; requiring only that per-
sons excluded shall not be included in the
basis of representation.
We can hardly suppose Mr.. Wilson's
assumption will be concurred in by Con-
gress. If it should be, the northern States
will have taste Of the modern doctrine
that Congress is supreme over laws and
constitutions.

The Presidents Veto.

We publish this morning the Presidents
message expressing his objections to the
congressional bill supplementary to the
Sherman S. S. Law. II Is brief, 0iain,
true, and just, upon his theory OF the pre-
sent condition Of the States. The Prcsi-
dent holds up before Congress the alb
surdity as we'll as the injustice OF pre-
scribing certain forms, in which the peo-
ple have the semblance Of the elective
franchise when they are but enacting
constitution dictated by Congress under
the constraint Of force. He criticises the
machinery Of the elections, and shows how
completely ii is taken out Of the hands OF
the people and left to the discretion Of the
power that is over them. He informs Con-
gress that most of the southern States
have now constitutions more republican
than those governing them when the
Union was originally formed; and adds that
there is but one amendment proposed by
Congress the enfranchisement of the
black race and the Acknowledgement OF a
part Of the white; and that in making this
perilous experiment all power and discre-
ton are taken from the States in which 1t
is TO be made. He pithily suggests that
the Congress should begin with Ohio and
Pennsylvania, whose constitutions exclude
negroes from the ballot-box; and let us
add New York, whose House of Assembly
on Thursday last rejected an amendment
allowing negroes to vote for members OF
the proposed convention in that State by a
vote Of IS to IS! l.
But what Of all this The veto Is cri-
ticism of existing .facts-an argument
against the constitutionalty and justice Of
an unavoidable law sustained by irresisti-
BILE authority by force, under the order
Of Congress which the President himself
puts in motion. His veto, then, is as no
thing to us, circumstanced as we are, while
his Executive authority in pursuing the
will of Congress is everything. His brief
review Of the supplemental bill is only to
be useful as matter Of history and future
reference in which view, indeed, it is
valuable.

A FIRsT-RATE NOTICE OF EGYPTIAN
CoRN.-We are in receipt of several inqui-
ries with regard to the value and culture
of Egyptian corn. We can only say that
some people are pleased with it, and others
regard it as humbug. 1t is matter of
taste, therefore, whether valuable or other
wise. We have heard it said, however,
that if persons desire to have it ground
into meal, they will have to wait till mill
burs are made of harder substance than
at present, as the corn is little harder
than the stones in common use. Onr
friend Gabriel Stickley (who, by the way,
is one of our best farmers has discovered
heretofore unknown property in Egyptian
corn, which is its medicinal virtue as an
antidote for hog cholera. He says it is so

The Cruise of the Shenandoah Or, The
Last Confederate Cruiser. By CORNELIUS
Hunt, one of her officers. New York :
CARLETON s. Co.
1t will be remembered that the Shenan-
doah, Captain WADDELL, continued to pick
up Yankee whalers in the Arctic ocean as
late as the goth of June, 1SG5-nearly
three months after the Confederacy had
fallen. Captain W. stated in his letter, not
long afterwards published, that he did not
receive positive and reliable information
on the subject until August I'd, though he
had not fallen in with any vessel after the
2Sth, when he wound up his exploits in
the Arctic with the dispersion of the
whaling fleet, many vessels of which fell
into his hands.
The narrative of the cruise of the She
nandoah is related in plain and unpre-
tending style, and is as brief and to the
point as sailors generally are. The volume
is highly interesting. The author is quite
sharp upon Captain WADDELL, whom he &C
cuses of acts of selfshness quite unbecoming
an officer and gentleman.

This work is from the famous divine
who contends that we are very near the
end of the world. He gathers from the
events of series of years, which crowd
themselves very much upon the prophet
within year or two, that we are upon the
eve of the "Day Of Judgment" This
"Last Warning Cry ~ may be regarded at
least as what he considers his last alarum
before the dire event. He has been thun-
dering warnings into the ears of the Lon
doners for some years; but they pay little
heed to him. People here will be inte-
rested in what he has to say.

The East India Trade.

A remarkable event has Just occurred,
which we may consider as the forerunner
Of commercial revolution which is to
give this empire" control Of the East
India trade. The Pacific Mail Steamship
Company's ship Colorado left San Fran
cisco on the LIST day of January and reach
ed Yokohama, Japan, on the I'D, and
Hong Kong, China, on the 3Oth Of that
month; returning, it sailed from the latter
port on the 18th, and from the former on
the 9th of February, and reached San
Francisco on the Goth instant. The ad-
vices by the Colorado were telegraphed to
New York, and appeared in the papers of
that city on the 2lst. The same intelli-
gence was directly forwarded to London,
and reached that city at least twenty days
in advance Of the date at which it would
have been received there by way Of the
Cape or the isthmus Of Suez.
The Colorado was the first steamship
that ever made the round trip from San
Francisco to China. By her, news is
placed in London from Hong Kong in thir-
ty-two days, and from Yokohama in twen-
ty-two daysl The commerce will follow
the line of the intelligence, and when the
Pacific railroad or railroads are completed,
this country will monopolize the chief
trade of the East Indies, and even Eu-
ropean travel for that part of the world

Contemplating this initial step and its
consequences, great events-revolutions,
commercial and political-present them
selves in the prospect. The trade Of the
INDIES has been the great object of
european nations for centuries. Its value

We think we understand the EnquTer'S
position now, and what has been It's
course:
First. It's utterances have been so plain
that if any one doubts its position there is
an irremediable defect-somewhere.
Secondly. 1t has never said word upon
the point.
Thirdly. 1t will say something upon that
point six months hence.
Fourthly. 1t has not eaten dirt, but will
for the next six months consider the propri-
ETY. of eating 1t after the manner of the
Dispatch.
So much for one point. As to another,
the Enquirer holds:
First. That the Dispatch has been very
inconsistent.
Secondly. That the Enquirer has not as
yet been equally inconsistent, but I" in due
time" (say six months hence) will possibly
mot to say probably have the shame" OF
that same inconsistency upon it.
To relieve our neighbor as much as pos
sible, we would add that we surrendered
with General Lee in 1865, Notwithstanding
some brave utterances of ours, based, per.
haps, upon his, that we "would never be
conquered" and that we again surrender
ed in the same good company in 1867, not
withstanding other brave words uttered
when we had not been overcome by the
sword. We did not stop to discuss the
question Of consistency in either case.
If the Enquirer desires us to be courte'
Gus, as we suppose it does, it should avoid
the use of such words as "discreditable.'
