The Veto Message.

- President johnson returned, on the 7th
inst, the bill to regulate the elective fran
chise in the District of Columbia, passed by
the Senate on the 18th of December last, to
that body with his objections. We condense
as follows: - FL
He sets forth that in December, 1855, the
question of comforting the elective franchise
on persons of color was submitted to the
qualified voters of the District, and rejected
with almost entire unanimity. Congress,
however, now disregards this expression OF
opinion and proceeds to regulate purely
local question in a manner at variance with
the wishes of those most nearly affected,
The President further argues that the ne
groes of the District are unfit to exercise the
right of suffrage or to hold office, owing to
their former condition and present nomadic
habits; and predicts an influx of colored
persons thither anxious to enjoy privilege
denied them elsewhere.
He also holds that the negroes of the Dis
trict are sufficiently protected in their rights,
without regard to race or color; and without
this innovation upon established customs
He thinks that this bill is the precursor of
others to be applied to all the lately insur-
gent States.
The President quotes largely from author
tiles upon the Constitution in order to prove
the danger of the Legislative Department OF
government overstepping its constitutional
limits, and says that its jealousy of other de-
partments ifnot constantly checked leads to
the illegal abridgcment of their constitu-
tional privileges, even now of limited char.
acter in comparison to those exercised by the
legislative department.
He also refers at length to the defenseless
position of the Judiciary and says that when
by the expulsion of certain members and the
denial of certain States to representation a
two-thirds majority is obtained by certain
party in Congress, all constitutional checks
are destroyed, and two of the departments OF
government are placed in the power of the
other. In such a contingency, he holds that
the government would become despotic.
| The President further reviews the suffrage
question, and concludes by saying that the
indiscriminate bestowal of this right will
end in its own destruction.

uConfederate Despotism.o

The organ of Gov. Worth having given
notice that the grand juries of the State will
indict every person who presumes to petit
ton Congress for a redress of grievances, it
is expected by the jeff Davis Radicals that
our people will succumb to this despotic
edict, and will cease to sign memorials to
Congress Mistaken again. The memorials
are still being signed by thousands, and are
being forwarded to Washington. The peo-
pie feel that they are now free, notwithstand-
ing the disposition which exists in our State
authorities to deprive them of their freedom.
But there are some exceptions to this rule.
The order has gone forth that any employee
of the State government, so-called. or OF any
of its corporations now in rebel hands, who
shall sign this memorial shall at once be dis
chal ged. This is a feeble attempt to revive
and continue the old "Confederate despo-
tism." This attempt will fail. A few good
Union men may be thus deferred from sign
ing the memorial, but the great body of our
people who are hot dependent for their bread
on these petty tyrants, will continue to sign.
We again tell the Congress that treason has
got to such pitch in this State that persons
who presume to sign petitions to it for re-
dress of grievances, are threatened not only
with prescription from office and employ
ment under the State government, but with
indictment and punishment by the State
Courts. The old Davis despotism still ex-
lists here, as far as it is possible to establish
and carry it out

EXECUTIVE OFFICE,


Washington, d. c., august Is, 1866
Governor w. L. SHARKEY, Jackson Miss.
am gratifed to see that you have organ
lied your convention without difficulty I
hope that without delay your convention
will amend your State constitution, abolish
ing slavery and denying to all future legisla-
lures the power to legislate that there IS
property in man also that they Will adopt
the amendment to the Constitution of the
United States abolishing slavery. If You
could extend the elective franchise to all
persons of color who can read the Constitu
ton of the United States in English and
write their names, and to all persons of color
who own real estate valued at not less tn am
two hundred and fifty dollars, and pay tax
es thereon, you would completely disarm the
adversary and set an example the other
States will follow. This you can do with
perfect safety, and you thus place the South
ern States, in reference to free persons of COLOR
upon the same basis with the free States. L
hope and trust your convention will do this,
and, as consequence the radicals, who are:
wild upon negro franchise, will be completely
foiled in their attempt to keep the southern
States from renewing their relations to the,
Union by not accepting their senators and.
representatives. ANDREW JOHNSON,
President of the United States

The Tribune says nothing is to be gained
by it.
The Herald says that johnson has been
guilty of nothing more than his partizan
Predecessors, from jackson down.
The Times says that the charges are moth
ing more than have been stated over and
over in speeches on the floor, and it believes
that the Senate will throw them out.
1t is stated that many voted for Mr.. Ash
ley's resolution simply to get it into the hands
of the Judiciary Committee, where it will
probably remain.

Affairs in Texas.

GALVESTON, Jan. Ga capias has been served
on General Heintzleman by the sheriff of Guada-
loupe county, charging Heintzleman with offences
against the laws Of Texas. Heintzleman refused
obedience to the writ, and in a letter charges
dsloyal" and adds that he would not consider
his life safe in the hands of Texan legal authori
ties. Judge Baldwin, in an elaborate opinion,
condemns Judge Ireland for issuing the writ
against United States officers. Gov. Throckmor-
ton has written General Heintzleman compli-
mentary letter, congratulating him on the salts
faction he gave to the people of Texas.

The residence of the late General Winfield
Scott, at Elizabeth, which has been closed
for several months, is now occupied by his
son-in-law, Colonel Scott, who at the begin
ming of the rebellion retired on the invalid

up on the grounds it appears that the lots
on Jersey street are for sale; these are now
very valuable.

Notwithstanding the action of the Caucus last
night, many Republicans urge the presentation OF
Ashley's resolution and its pressure to vote to-
morrow
Prominent Southern Union men, who returned
tonight from tour of inspection through Ten
nesse, Georgia and the Carolnas, represent that
the antipathy to the amendment is almost uni
versal and there is general disposition to aban-
don politics, and not even send Senators or KEEP

to the attainment of material prosperity.
A petition to the President in behalf of Edwin
Spangier, at the Dry Tortugas, Zone of the assas-
sin conspirators,) sets forth that the evidence
against him before the military commission was
feeble and contradictory, and many witnesses
were deferred from testifying in his behalf from
the prevailing terror.
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE veto message meets
the hearty approval of the Cabinet except Sec
rotary Stanton, who believes that the bill is con-
stitutional.
A good deal of speculation is being INDUCED
in as to the probability OF the passage OF Gen.
Ashley's impeachment resolution. Several gen
tlemen who have talked with their colleagues and
others on the subject, assert that it will not be
adopted. Gen. Ashley, however, is very conf
dent that it will pass. There are good many
Republicans who doubt the propriety of adopting
any such action at present. They prefer to wait
few weeks, in order to give the Special Com
mittees time to make their Investigations and re-
port to the House.

The Reign of Terror.

When outra9es are committed in this
State-when houses are broken open, col
ored people beaten, and their own horses
and mules, or those of their employers are
forcibly taken from them by desperate ruff
fians-when helpless and virtuous women
are outraged, whether by white men, or
black men, or by 6ackened men, and when
citizens are robbed on the highway, or shot
at near or in their own houses, the Sentinel,
Gov. Worth's organ, charges.th that ifcver the
facts come out it will be known that these
outrages were committed solely by "mean
Southern Loyalists.' The government of
this State, & set up under martial law" hay
ing failed in the first great object of all gov
ernments-the protection of life and prop
erty-and the Sentinel, knowing that public
censure will fall somewhere, comes forward
with the brazen lie that the "Southern
Loyalists " are the guilty parties. A friend
writes us from an Eastern County-we do
not give the name, for prudential reasons
that
"You can not imagine the distrust and
anxiety among US. Only few days ago
-- was SnOC IN MS own mouse ana ROD
bed had four mule team taken from
colorcd man i'll my employment. These
things are of constant occurrence. 1 have
been threatened, but do not regard them.
These things may seem strange but they are
true Such state of things has not existed
since the French revolution. We sleep with
reyolvers and guns at the head of our beds
None of us who are loyal feel safe. But in
tend to stand by the government, and espe-
cially by Congress to the last"
The above IS from " Southern Loyalist."
They are the parties who are outraged and
plundered, we will not say by whom. We
simply state the fact, that so far from being
the guilty parties themselves, they are the
very persons who are in constant peril of life
and property. These things will get worse
until Congress interposes and authorizes our
loyal people to establish new government
That body can not act too promptly. Our
loyal people are crying to it for relief. We
trust their cry will be heard and answered.
