1t seems from recent dispatches to
the New York World, that President
Grant has at last spoken his senti-
ments very freely on the Civil Rights
Bill. The President is reported as
having said that he has always looked
upon some of the measures advocated
and embraced in this bill as exceed
ingly unwise; 'he does not think that
legislation designed to regulate the
social relations Of any class of people
is judicious, as it generally gives rise
to state of feeling calculated to do
more mischief than good. There were
some things which had better find
their own level than to undertake to
force results out of the natural course.
Every citizen, he believes, is entitled
TO certain rights, and be he white or
black, rich or poor, those rights
should be enjoyed in freedom. So
far he has favored civil rights; but
when i, is brought up as a social ques-
tion, in which Congressional interior
ence can effect no beneficial results,
aud only annoy very large, intluen-
tial, and intelligent class, he has OPP
posed any further steps, aud had the
bill before Congress last session been
presented for his signature, as already
known he would nave vetoed it, and
he will veto any other bill with SINH
lar provision of social questions. In
the matter of mixed schools the Pres
ident thinks that to enforce such
measure would be of no service to the
colored people, aud would destroy the
common schools of the United States
and deprive the poor of all classes of
an education. What change there
might be in public sentiment on
this subject in the future he thought
the future had better determine. 1t
was quite evident to him that mixed
schools would drive away the children
of largo class who need education,
and for whom free schools we're first
established. He only alluded in this
matter to the part of the National
Government; as far as the States were
concerned, that was a question entire
i local and for them to decide. If
public sentiment favored mixed
schools they could have them, but it
was no part of Congress to force such
a measure whether or not upon com
munities of antagonistic views. The
president thinks that there should be
appropriate provisions everywhere for
the education of the colored race and
experience has already demonstrated
that where their numbers are great
they should have their own schools
and q proportionate share of the re-
ceipts for the support of schools; and
where the numbers are small they
have almost universally been ad-
mitted to the public schools of the
whites"

Whilst we are hearing so much A.
bout the State Funding Bill from
the radical party, we propose to re-
fresh their recouections by republish-
ing the Funding Bill passed BY q re-
publican Congress on the 18th of A
pril, 1866, and approved by the Presi-
dent. This Act has been the princi-
pal cause, says Senator Sherman, of
Ohio, certainly good Republican au-
thority), of all our financial troubles.
We propose hereafter to discuss this
question at length, and to show who
are the real high tao men in this
State. The following act, passed
April the 10, 1866, was signed by the
President:
An act to amend an act, entitled AN
act to provide ways aud means, to
support the government, approved
March 3, 1865.
/ Be it enacted by the Senate and
| House of Representatives of the Uni
ted States of America in Congress as
sGmbled, That the act entitled IAN
act to provide ways aud means to sup
/ port the government. approved on
the Sd of March, 1865, shall be extern
/ ded and construed to authorize the
Secretary of the treasury, at his dis
| erection to receive any treasury notes
or other obligations issued under any
/ act of Congress, whether bearing in
terest or not, in exchange for any de-
scrlptlon of bonds authorized by the
act to which this Is an amendment;
and also TO dispose of any description
of bonds authorized by said act, eth
er IN the United States or else where,
to such an amount, IN such manner.
and at such rates as he may think adj
vIsabIe, for lawful money of the Uni
| ted States, or for any treasury notes.
| certificates of Indebtedness, or cent?
! ticates of deposits, or other represeu-
tatives of value, which have been or
which may be issued under any act of
congress, the proceeds thereof to be
used only for retiring treasury notes
or other obligations issued under any
act of congress; but nothing herein
contained shall be construed to an
thorize any increase OF the public
debt. PrOUided, That the United
/
may be retired and canseled within
SIX months from the passage of this
act, and therefore not more than 81
600, 900 in any other month. Ind 5ro.
Cided further, That the act to which
this is an amendment shall continue
in full force in all its; provisions, ex-
cept as modified by this act.
Section ,. And be it further en-
acted, That the secretary Of the treas
ury shall report to congress ut the
commencement of the next seS>io the
amount of exchanges made or money
borrowed under this act, and of whom.
and on what terms; aud also the ~
mount and character of indebtedness
retired under this act and the act TO
winch this is an amendment, with a
detailed statement of the expense of
making such loans and exchanges.
Mr.. Sherman, the distinguished
Republican senator from Ohio. saws
in reference to this bill:
Under the enormous powers con.
ferred by this act the secretary of the
treasury, Mr.. McCulIoch, adopted
what is called the contraction policy.
