PUGIIE, Proprietor, 190 liroad and lid Ellis street. River News.—The Julia St. Clare and Swan left. No arrivals. 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. A Cryisg Evil. - Our attention has been repeatedly called by the con gregahon worshipping at St> j amcg Church ,o the habit ot a number of colored law who collect on the green it. front of the Church, and engage in town ball, and other boisterous sports, to the annoyance of the congregation, and especially of lhe p , stor . w „ ha * fore called attention to similar deseera tionof the babbathinthatpartof the City, and the police would certainly promote the order as well as the morals of the City, by preventing the recur rence of such scenes.

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. n^e. 1 at 10* A.’ M.‘ and 8* P. M.

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.

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, Miepfc : 1 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. The Charleston papers announce the aeuuti ot U„ n . J. E.

The proceedings wore not generally in teresting until the reception of the Veto Message at two o'clock. The galleries were jammed.^ 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. ■■■■♦ Washington, March 2.
