Another Presidentia.1 Veto.
WASHINGTON, July IC-Tho President
has returned the Freedmen's Bnreau bill
to the Houso of Representatives without
his signature. He says the legislation it
proposes is not consistent with the welfare
of tho country, and that it falls clearly
within the reasons assigned in his veto
message of a similar measure in February.
He refers to that document for his objec?
tions, and says tho Act now in force will
extend some months beyond the meetiuf
of the next Congress; "and if additional
legislation be required, Congress can then
mature a bill. He opposes it as class legis?
lation and unwise, as netting np military
tribunals which arc liable to come in con?
flict with the civil law and unnecessary, as
the laws of each State protect the person
and property alike of white and black. He
also objects to it on the score of economy.
WVho acts of violence which is mad.; a pre?
text for tho bill, ho contends, io confined
to no State or section, but are comnion
throughout tho country; and in conse?
quence of thc agitation and derangement
incident to a long and bloodv war. While
such occurrences are to be deplored, they
furnish no reason for a continuance of the
Bureau beyond thc time fixed in the origi?
nal Act. The conduct of the agents is
likewise noted, as leading to fraud, corrup?
tion and oppression. He further urges, as
another reason against the necessity of tin
legislation contemplated by this measure,
that referen**- may be had to the civil
rights bili, now a law of tho land, which
will be faithfully executed as long as it
shall remain unrepeated, and may not he
declared unconstitutional hy the courts of
competent jurisdiction. Its provisions, IK
declares, furnish protection to all persons,
without discrimination, and although it
did not rooetve his approval, he considers
its remedies far preferable to those pre?
sented in the present bill. Tho provision
relating to the confirmation of certain sales
of sea island lands is considered unwiso,
partial and tvcconetitut ional. In conclu?
sion, ho again urges upou Cen gross tho
dangar of class legislation, as tending to
keep thc public mind in a state of uncer?
tain expectation, disquiet and restlessness,
and furnishing false hopes to claes.es of
persona of support and maintenance., re?
gardless of whether they pursue a life of
independence or labor, and regardless of j

Prof? ssoi- Hinca to thc Queen.
j Tho following is a capital hit :
N. YORK, June 2*1.
DEAR QiXEsy?: Tm your friend. I'm
a friend to ali good queens, nude or
female, who watch over the interests
of their subjects as you do over the
Erins. You're to them like a tender
mother to her babes, if not more so;
but they don't treat you as a parent.
They're a set of unprodigal children,
according to your policy. I'll there?
fore give you a true history of their
movements in America, for you should
know their hartes. Them Fins, my
dear Queen, is -dangerous to tho
throne. They're a volcany, and
there's no telling how soon they'll
bust. They arc smoky for liberty.
The little afluir in Oanady isn't any?
thing to what it will be if it isn't
nipped in the bud. Therefore, Queen,
make the most exerty efforts you can
to nip immediately. The general
which nips in time always currys his
pint. Ilise from your slumbers in
the morning with tho night inga!.
Remember "the early bird always
gets the worm." Keep that on your
brain.
Now for the nippin' process: If
you'd put every Fin you catch in a
comfortable shooting iron, (give them
plenty of room,) and shoot them out
in haste, in presence of Ireland; I
think that would cool down all you
shoot oft in that style. You know
how to do thc thing! 1 think it
would be catlin' to tho hurtes of
Irishmen in N. York to shoot them
across the briny, and laud them one
after tother in that town; tho' I think j
it would be morely virtuous to put !
each patient in headfirst -that would
give him a chance of 'lighting on his
feet when he arrives. This clemency
of putting them in contrary to the
brutal system of feet first, wo'd enti?
tle you to the respect of all civilized
nations, ancient and modern. Use
clemency, Queen-it's bully policy.
Be softly. Go slow. 1 think, ac?
cording lo your policy, they've >;ot
too much liberty. I know they like
liberty, but it's not natural for them
to have it just now and formerly.
And then I think oppression is a vir?
tue on your part. It must certainly
give you sweet conscience and sleep,
with but very small nightmares.
Opression-more opression, if possi?
ble.
That's true religion. The very light
taxes, privileges and cetery that you
so graciously grant them, sho'd be
received by them with extasy, in?
stead of vic// vej'Si/. [That's Latin.
Queen; it means the other end first. J
I don't think they pay you and your
family enough in the article of cash
alone to recompense you for tlie life, ?
liberty and pursuit of happiness your
motherly charity rains in their j
bosoms. This is deplorable ingrati- !
tude. From all I cnn learn, yourself
and family arc very poor. [Hero,
poor Queen, I stop and drop a tour. |
I'm sorry this is a free country, or I'd
try and get the Erins in this country
to also likewise help to support your
family. I'm sorry also on Elbert and
Elixandy's acct. It's bani to begin
life poor. 1 hear you got a daughter
which got married shortly ago, and
if he hasn't got a trade, of course
the Erins will also support him cheer?
fully as common.
The father of those Fins was an
old Fin, which reigned in Ireland,
while Ossian, his son, done the sing?
ing, in the first ago of that country.
This shows that these men have gone
back to tho Horden and Vandals,
thereby assuming an attytnde <>f war
and pestilence against the Crown.
Watch them, Queen, watch them;
they're worse than ?njians. They're
bent on throwin" off the yoko of tir
ranny, the virtue of which.,they can't
apprecyate. They don't want to be
oxed any longer. This is a crime in
them, because it's not in good tune
with your policy. Then they can
como to Ameriky, if they don't like
the old country. But they won't
leave ; the ties of affection which bind
them to you, which have grown out
of your love and care for them (dear?
est .mother)-tho privileges, low
taxes, .gentle rents and other good
things-nothing but money eau sever.
And thia vile article of trash your
wise policy won't permit many of
them to have. Hence the happy poor
of Erin won't leave.
I say, Queen, that this movement
of the Fius are shaky to tho throne,
more so than you're acquainted with.
I know you're lovely on tho sea; you
Iiav'nt strained your eyes by sowing
> with poor lights. But you can't see
to ?. York and BuffyV; noryon can't
see into the heart of one of these
Finians. You should have a spi,
Queen, in this country--onc that
understands kemistry.
Private.-I'm sorry, Queen, you're
not a malo; I want to let you into a j
secret; but, as you've proved yourself ?
magnanimous to the Thins, I hope j
you'll, not blow on me. I'll throw I
myself in your conscience. My secret j
is, to wit, namely: I'll catch an old j
Fiu and anilize him for ?52 a head.
Thats cheap, considering the way
grooerys sell.
Nexty, you should hire of A. John
son a few of his army to help you
through. You'll want help. If it |
hadn't lieen for (len. Graut, you'd j
went np in Canady on the 2d of this
month, A. D. 1866, June. Your irre?
gular sortly fizzled on that arrange?
ment You ought to have a body?
guard of at least 1 millions of irregu?
lars on the border of Canady, or a
few Companys of our boys. With
assistance, in time, I'm tolerably per?
suaded you can flog thc Fins. Aud
be sure, before yon go to far, to have
a base. This is much morely essen?
tial than a war footin' without a base.
Be cautious; go slow.
Give my love to Albrit and Elixaii
dry and the rest of the children.
Send me a countersign; and if 3-011
have any pure,! blackfaced, white
Spanish eggs already hatched, I'll

The New York Xe ir s contains some
advance pages from the historv of
"The Lost Cause," by Mr. E. A.' Pol?
lard, which are not likoly to? excite
any additional interest in behalf of
the volume, now soon to appear. Mr. !
Stephens is denounced as an "dabo- 1
rate demagogue, "exacting, conceited, ?
without consistency or courage. Pre- !
sideut Davis is referred to as "weak
and bombastic, " in his addresses, as
"blinded by his natural temper,'' of
"a powerful self-conceit," and "with
the fillet of vanity upon his eyes." ;
In the account of thc evacuation of
Richmond, the whole conflagration
is charged to the Confederate mili?
tary authorities, no allowances being
made for the houses fired by the ;
thieves-aud it is spoken of as a ;
"titting souvenir of the imprudence |
and recklessness of thc departing ad- j
ministration.'' If this be the key- ,
note to the book, Mr. Davis could
not ask a more unfriendly historian. !
in the description of the sceties ol' '
the evacuation, which is written
graphically and spiritedly, the then 1
President of the City Council, a very \
worthy and excellent citizen, is named 1
apparently only to be sneered at as 1
"an illiterate grocer of the name of j
Sanders," while Mr. Mayo is intro- I
doced as "chewing tob?ceo defiant- ?
ly." These things scarcely rise to 1
the dignity of history; and certainly ;
Southern people do not wish to see j
even the acknowledged faults or !
foibles of men who, however humble,
wore true to them, pilloried without:
necessity, and especially in a South- j
ern book.
ESPACEMENT WITH INDIANS.-The j
Salt Lake Telegraph, of a late date, j
has the following:
i "Maj. Marshall and Col. Coppings,
with eighty-five men, had a brush
with the Indians a few days ago. near
the forks of tho Owynee. The In?
dians numbered 400 or 500. More
I than half were warriors. Seven In?
dians were killed ami twelve wound?
ed. One white was killed. Maj.
Marshall deemed it prudent to retire
to Forr Berris to await reinforce?
ment?.."
The total imports of dry goods for
thc fiscal year have reached the enor?
mous figure of 8137.000,000, which is
830,000,000 in excess of tin; heaviest
year of tho history of tho past-the
receipts of I860, the next largest
year, having been $107,000,000. The
average importations for the five
years preceding that just closed was
#63,000.000, and tor the ten years
ending with 1864-5, S77.0O0.ono.
The imports for the last year are thus
87'j per cent, in excess of the ave?
rage of tho ten preceding years.
The bill for tho extension of the

Caiuea of the War in Barop?.
The causes of the war in which
Prussia and Austria have ..involved
Germany may as weil bo understood
thus early. It has been said that
Prussia has begun to play the part of
Robert Macaire, the bold villain of
tho drama, and that Austria has been
cast for that of Jacques Strop, who
was invariably snubbed by Iiis f?llow
cnlprit whenever he suggested a fair
division of the spoil, lt was Prussia
who conceived the plan of robbing
Denmark, and of appropriating all
the plunder. Austria had no pur?
pose to servo in robbing Denmark;
Austria did not want the Duchies of
Schleswig-Holstein; Austria did not
desire to reduce the small kingdom of
Denmark; and when she was seduced
into a war, had only the intention of
erecting the Elbe Duchies (as Schles?
wig and Holstein are called) into an
independent State under a German
ruler. It is evident, from the result,
that Prussia went into tho attack
upon Denmark with tlie desire and
design of converting the coveted
Duchies to her own use.
The German inhabitants of tho
Elbe Duchies, at least the richest,
best educated and intelligent of these
inhabitants, desired to be freed from
Danish rule. They may have found by
this time what it is to exchange King
Stork for King Log; but they were
very earnest then, and the German
nation, backing them up, resolved
that they should be emancipated from
submission to Denmark. They had
not been harsldy governed; but, as
Germans, the people of the Duchies
wore dissatisfied, were even humiliat?
ed, by being governed by foreigners.
When thc German Confederation de?
cided that the Duchies must bc se
vered from Denmark, Austria had t(
do one of two things-either to aban
don her position as head of tin
Bund, or go in, as Prussia alway:
pretended todo, as the protector o
the Germans, who, it was assumed
were ill-treated by Denmark. Ac
cordingly, Austria sent an army iut<
tho Duchies to co-operate with an
other army which Prussia had sen
thither. There was some severe tight
ing, but the contest was not of louj
continuance, for Denmai-k is a s mal
and weak State, and the Elbe Duchie
were wrested from Denmark.
Instead of being transferred to th
Duke of Augustenburg, who claimei
to be their hereditary sovereign, f

NEGRO RIOT IN WASHINGTON Crnr. I
Thc Washington Star, of Thursday
evening, gives the following account I
of a negro riot in tluit city, which, j
but for tlio promptness and energy of |
the police, would have resulted se?
riously :
"Yesterday afternoon, a gang of
vagrant negroes passed about from
house to house in the second pre?
cinct, taking what they wanted, and
heating any one who remonstrated
with tliem. They entered the store
of Mrs. Margaret Murphy, a very old
woman, on Tenth street; and after
getting something to eat and drink,
refused to pay her, and being about
to leave, she seized one by the leg.
Tho scamp tu* ned and kicked the old
woman from the shop into the street.
She called her son, who went to her
aid; hut finding them too numerous,
he ran to tho station house, and Ser?
geant Johnson went with him to
arrest the negroes. The Sergeant
went into the crowd and arrested the
leaders of the gung, Tho negroes
turned upon him, but thc Sergeant
used his billy freely, und tho negroes, j
seeing they had to fight to escape, j
commenced a general attack upon !
him. They knocked him down seve- !
ral times, and some of them wero
laid out by his billy, lie called an
Irishman to his aid, who responded
promptly, but, receiving a very hard
blow from one of the negroes, he
left, and went to where a number of
! Irish laborers were employed on the
street. Tn n moment, the laborers,
I about twenty in number, knocked
I their picks from the handles, and
I arming themselves with these and
! with spades, came runuiug to the
I Sergeant's aid. Tn the meantime,
Officer Poole had arrived, and aided
the Sergeant in securing the leading
negroes. The crowd of negroes had
? increased to fifty or sixty, and the
i Sergeant, seeing the laborers coming,
had to hurry his prisoners and use
his best endeavors to prevent a colli?
sion, that would have resulted in loss
of life to both white and colored.
, Fortunately, he got his prisoners to
i tlie station liefere the laborers reached
i them, and then, by a prudent appeal
to thc crowd around, quieted the
I men of both parties."
