CT In our correspondence is an article
upon 1.-The duty OF the Hour" which
should be read AMI pondcred carefully
The education Of the freedmen is one OF the
most important duties which we owe TO
our country and'thc general progress of
liberty and humanity. Now that the
colored people of the District Of Columbia
have acquired the right Of suffrage, we
naturally turn TO them with anxious hearts
to see how they will exercise that power.
Their prominent position will attract the
attention Of both friend. and enemies of
universal suffrage. A false step taken by
them will do immense injury to the cause
OF impartial suffrage and equal Justice
everywhere. Prevented from acquiring
education, as they have been, they are
but poorly prepared TO have voice in
the administration Of governmental affairs
We would have preferred an educational
test applicable alike TO black and white,
but we must accept the situation AS it is,
and endeavor, so far as lies in our power,
to remedy existing evils, and prevent II
recurrence in similar cases. The only
remedy now left us, is to prevent a second
commiital ofihe most cherished and sacred
rights bequeathed us by our fathers, to
Ignorance and superstition. That remedy
lies in education. We must anticipate
tho action Of the government and
prepare the freedmen for participation
in its administration, before universal suf-
fragc is conceded, or as SOON thereafter as
is practicable. In the District Of Columbia
immediate and abundant provision ought
TO be made by the government for the in
struction OF all classes. In the states, the
work must be done ny northern phllup

The Colorado and Nebraska ye,ocs.

The last two vetocs by the President
have caused less excitement than any of
the previous oncs. TIL bill admitting
Colorado ms a state was returned to the
Senate with the Presidents objections on
Monday Of last week. His main ohjcc
tons ARE the conditions which Congress
would impose, the protest of the Colorado
| louSe of Representatives, the insufficient
population AMI the lack of growth which
will ensure IA sufficient population within
n definite period. On Tuesday the Pres
ident returned the Nebraska bill with his
veto message. This is quite similar to
the other though giving prominence TO
the conditions of admission imposed 10y
Congress in the bill. 1t is possible though
quite improbable that either Of these
bills viii pass notwithstanding the Prcsi-
dents objections. Neither of them have
yet been acted upon. We do not assume
to decide upon tho merits of these bills Or
their vetocs, but must admit that there is
the appearance Of reason in the arguments
which the President presents.
