Mr. J. P. Weathers bee, of the
Fancy Bazaar, No. 263 Broad street, is
now prepared to manufacture gents’
shirts and underwear of any material
desired, warranting a perfect fit.
We are glad to learn that his enter
prise in manufacturing clothing is a
complete success. Some fifty ladies of
this city are constantly employed by
this establishment, yet they are not able
to supply the demand.
The firm has sent for a entter to
Messrs. D. Devolin A Cos., ot New
York, and propose to furnish clothing of
every description at remarkably low
prices, and giving perfect satisfaction.
Skli.ikc off. —Bargains can be had
in the Drv and Dress Goods line by
calling at Mrs. Pughe’s, 196 Broad
street as the whole stock is to be dis
posed of, to change the business.
An Oi.d Book Stoke.—Thos Rich
ards & Son invite the attention of the
public to tin ir large selection of books,
stationery and fancy goods, which are
offered at wholesale or retail, at the old
stand, 2G3, occupied by the senior of the
firm for the last forty years. Mr. Rich
ards and his sou are so well known as
reliable and liberal dealers, that any
commendation from us is superfluous,
and we therefore direct the attention of
the reader to their announcement.
Boots and Shoes.— M. Cohen, 182 J
Broad street, announces the sale ol
Boots arid Shoes at greatly reduced
prices, to make room for his spring
stock.
Fai.se Alarm.—There was a report
la-st night of a difficulty between .’the
Police and some soldiers near the City
Hull. Upon inquiry at the Police Office
we learn that the report arose from
some soldiers firing on the street. No
body hurt.
New Crockery House. Messrs.
Bean Adams have opened a whole
6ale and retail Crockery Store at 269,
Broad street, where they are opening a
very large stock, selected in Europe by
one of the firm. They are sole agents
in this City for one of the largest Cotte
ries in England, and are therefore ena
bled to compete with any city in this
country in the crockery trade. They
are both gentlemen of well known char
actor, and we take pleasure in commend
ing them to our readers.

Rather Small.—A gentleman in
formed us that be left an advertisement
at the office of the paper across the wav,
with the request that the city papers
copy, The advertisement appeared
with the request that the “conservative
organ” up the street copy. This may
be termed a pocket veto, but the adver
tiser, wishing the public to fire, his
notice, ordered it into the Daily Press.
Our neighbor across the way will learn,
perhaps, after awhile, thatlhereis a city
paper called the Daily Press, and that
the veto business is one that two can
play at. Meantime advertjsers who
wish to secure the advantages of the
lamest circulation, are requested to
send their favors direct to this paper,
as our city cotemporarv, not satisfied
with the bonus extorted from us, allows
no opportunity to injure our business,
to escape, even at the risk of injuring its
own patrons.
Lam flighting. —The lighting of the
street lamps of a city is rather a large
job ; but Mr. Snelliug, the City Lamp
lighter, is a faithful and efficient officer,
and, lrom our observation, does justice
to his work. If any lump is not lit, the
reason is that it is being repaired, and
notice is always given to the Police of
this fact, so that increased vigilance may
be observed in the non-illuminated dis
trict. It is always a pleasure to know
that a public officer does his duty, and
we think that Mr. Spelling does his to
the best of his ability.
A Scoundrel Among us. —Yesterday
about twelve o’clock, a scoundrel, in
respectable attire and ot genteel ap
pea ranee was prowling around the
neighborhood of Telfair and Kollock
streets, entering the yards and engaging
in conversation with the ladies, whom
he only met at home at that hour of the
day, and with repulsive gestures asking
the most impertinent questions. House
keepers in retired localities are warned
to be on the lookout (nr him, and should
he make a visit, meet out to him the
punishment his conduct deserves.
He will certainly meet with ill enter
tainment ii he goes his rounds of yes
terday.
Sugars, Tobacco, Etc. — Our neigh
bors, Hansberger & Cos., at the corner,
opposite the Post Office, invite atten
tion to their large stock of segars, to
bacco, snuff, pipes, walking cutes and
fancy goods. They are large dealers,
and offer a fine selection of goods.
Department of Agriculture.—Un
der this head, on yesterday, we stated
that a few packages of various seeds
had been sent us by Hon. 11. J. Ray
mond. We had no idea that we would
have been inundated with so many seek
ers after them. Letters from Aiken,
Graniteville andßerzelia, were received
last night, desiring a few of each—
whilst the applications from friends in
this immediate vicinity were by dozens.
So much for the popularity of the DailY
Press.
Ruxning the Yankees.— Our up
town cotemporary some time since pub
lished an extract from an exchange on
the emigration of the Yankees—to
which the Chronicle d? Sentinel added :
“Save us from the affliction. Run them
to , but not here, if you please 1”
The best commentary on this pieus ejacu
lation is contained in a telegraphic dis
patch from Boston, announcing that that
city had subscribed $16,000 for the poor
of tbe South. Surely this is not bad for
Radical Boston “the hub of the uni
verse,” and ought to save them from
being ‘run to ,” right at
least. It is an evidence of returning
good sense and fraternal feeling, we
hojte, which will result in good, erelong,
to lioth sections. Charity, like Men y,
as Shakspearo has it, “blesseth him that
gives ns well as him that takes," and af
fords a bond of union stronger than can
ever be effected by military bills, terri
torial bills, or any other bills, except
Treasury and bunk bills.
Let us invite immigration, and char
ity, and good will, and so restore peace
and harmony if we can.

Col. J. D. B. Deßow.—The death of
this eminent statician, which was re
cently announced by telegraph, uccurred
at Elizabeth, N. J., where lie had gone
to attend a dying brother, who preceded
him to the grave only a few days.
He was bom in Charleston, S. C.,
July 20, 1820, and graduated in that
city in 1843, In 1844, he became the
editor of the Southern Quarterly Review,
and in 1845 removed to New Orleans
and commenced Deßow’s Review, which
was continued until 1802, when the war
caused its suspension. It was resumed
in 1800, and is still published.
Cdl. Deßow filled a number of respon
silde official positions—having been
Superintendent of the Census Bureau,
and Professor of Political Economy and
Commercial Statistics in the University
of Louisiana. He was entrusted with
the purchase and shipment of Cotton by
the Confederate States, and discharged
all trusts coufided to him with energy
and fidelity. He was zealously devoted
to the advancement of the material and
intellectual resources of the South, and
at the time of his death was President
of the Tennessee Pacific Railroad, and
was actively working to sccme its suc
cess. For the last eight or ten years he
had considered Nashville his home, and
the papers of that city speak in the
highest lei ms of his personal, ns well as
intellectual qualities. He was genial
and kind, simple and unaffected ; and
bis death is deplored as a social calami
ty as well as a great public loss.
Tub Public Debt. — A Washington
dispatch says that the monthly state
ment of the public debt will be pub
lished about the sth of March. It will
not show any very material difference
from that of the last statement. The
receipts of customs during this month
appear to have been quite heavy, and
those from internal revenue sources
unusually small—less, indeed than the
former—this being the first instance of
that kind. The debt statement will
exhibit a heavy increase on the gold
balance, amounting to several millions
of dollars, from which the interest on
the 10-40’s duo lstproxiiqp will be paid.
The forthcoming statement will be more
favorable than that of last month, when
there was an increaseof the public debt,
caused by heavy payments of interest
duriug tbe mouth.

Exchange of Seven-Thirty Notes. 1
—Secretary McCulloch has issued a cir
cular notifying the holders of Seven
thtrfj* notes dated August 15, 1804, that
they enp now exchange them for six per •
cent, five-twenty bonds issued under
tha act of 1865. If at the time of the
exchange the accrued interest on tbe
notes shall exceed the interest on the
the difference will be paid by the
Department. If the accrued interest on
die bonds exceeds that upon the notes,
the difference may be paid in currency
by the person proposing to make tbe
exchange, and should accompany the
notes. Dptil May Ist theexpresscharges
on notes for conversion, and bonds sent
,in return, will be paid by the Depart,

The South Will Accept it. —The
Petersburg Index says that “the South
will accept the terms extended under
Sherman’s bill. A thousand’straws show
how the current is Setting. No hazaid
is now in the prediction that ere sixty
days have passed, a majority of the
Southern States will voluntarily have
conformed to the new order of things,
and we make it."
The Reconstruction Bill. —lt will
be seen by reference to our telegraphic
columns that the President has sent in
his veto of the Reconstruction bill, and
that both Houses passed it over his veto.
It is now the law of the land, and the
only question for the people of the South
U) decide is whether they will continue
under tbe military or civil part of the
bill. That is the only choice left them.
At the interesting meeting in Wash
ington City, where Mr. Peabody made
his splendid donation, a letter of accept
ance and of thanks was adopted, and
Gov. Aiken commenced to express his
obligations as a Southern man, but
burst into tears and sat down. Bishop
Mellvain then proposed that they should
unite iu prayer, and eloquently invoked
Divine blessings on the national bene
factor. Mr. Peabody intends, it is said,
to donate another $1,000,000 tor the
same purpose.

Message at two o'clock. The galleries

The Vets Meaaage.
Washington, Much 2—2 o’clock.
Tbe Veto Message has just been sent to
the House.
Abstract of the Veto message.
The President says, in effect, that he has
examined the bill to provide a more effi
cient Government iu the Robot States, with
the oare which the.transcendent importance
of the subjeet awakens, and is unable to
give it his assent. Tbe reasons are so
grave that he hopes a statement thereof
may influence patriotic and enlightened
men. The Bill plaees ten States under
military rulers. He first combats the
preamble.. His information shows the
people of tho.-e States united in reorgan
ising their Governments on a basis of peace.
The face of the Bill shews that its object is
not peaco. After the States adopt meas
ures so notoriously objectionable, repre
sentation is to be allowed without refer
ence to security of life or property. The
excuse for the Bill, urged in the preamble,
is admitted by the Bill itself to bo false.
Military rule is established, not for the
prcvuitton of crime, but for the enforce
ment and adoption of odious laws. The
measure, iu character, scope, and object, is
without precedent or authority. It palpa
bly confiicts with tbe Constitution, and is
destructive of blood-bought liberty.
Tffe power givon Brigadier Generals is
that of absolute monarchs—whose will is
law. They determine the rights of persons
and property ; dispose of lauds and goods
within their Districts: make their own crim.
inal code, and everything is criminal
which they denominate crime. Every per
son i3 guilty whom they condemn. They
keep no record, and need make no report ,*
can break up courtB —make judges and
jurors criminals. Their military courts arc
of their own making, with officers from
their subordinates. Instead of mitigating
the harshness of single rule, such courts
would divide responsibility, making it more
cruel and unjust. Several provisions dic
tated by humsauity introduced in the bill to re
straitfctbe officer are inoperative. Each officer
may define) •ruolty according to bis own
temper—gag, lasb, ball and chain, lie witnin
his choice. A military commander, under
tbe provision of the Bill, may condemn to
death without trial, thus avoiding Execu
tive sanction. The authority given the
military officer amounts to absolute despot
ism, aggravated by the power to delegate
despotism to subordinntes—the Bill declar
ing that he shall punish, or cause to be pun
ished. This power has been denied to
English Kings for 500 years. In all that
time no people speaking the English lan
guage have borne such servitude. It re
duces the population of ten State*, regard
less of color, sex or condition, and strangers
within thoir limits, to abject, degrading
slavery.
It may be answered, that officers are just
and humane. Doubtless thoy are equally
so with other classes ; but the history of
the world has been written vainly, if failing
to show the danger of unrestrained author
ity. It is almost invariably tyrannical,
when the ruler is a stranger, appointed by
au unfriendly power. It wa3 tried in Hun
gary and Polaud, resulting in sufferings
which aroused the sympathy of the world.
In Ireland, though tempered by tbe princi
ples of Euglish law, it begot indignantly
denounced cruelties. The French conven
tion, arming the deputies with
similar powers, sent them to de
partments where massacres, murders, and
atrocities followed. An irresponsible dep -
uty never yields what law don't extort*
Have we power to establish and carry the
measure into execution ? We certainly do
not derive the authority from the Constitu
tion, or from an acknowledgment of its
limitation. The balance of the message
consists of elaborate Constitutional argu
ments embracing copious extracts.
The Speaker ruled that two thirds could
suspend the rulos, rendering fillibustering
put of the question. The Bill passed—l3s
to 47.
