So long as these barriers are maintained, so long wiU be deferred the era of peace, order and prosperity in the State, to which mneh mutual harmony and good will are essen tial, and so long will the right of the lately enfranchised linger in the condition of doubt and insecurity. The prejudices upon which these harriers are fostered, have no foundation in reason dr jjew Orleans, September 26.—Governor Wivnaoth to-day vetoed the civil rights bill, rasing (hereby a perfect storm of denuncia tion from the negroes at what they term his m<’intitade and treachery to them and the Radical party. The session of the House, after the recep tion of the veto message, was occupied chief ly by colored members in its denunciation ; one threatening AVarmoth with impeachment, and repudiating him as no longer a member of the Radical party. The white members of the Legislature are confident of sustaining the veto. The following is the veto message : To the Honorable Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives : I return to tlie Hofise of Representatives an act to pro tect all persons in their public and civil rights, without my signature, for the following rea sons, to wit: the rights and privileges enu merated in the first section of the hill, and sought to be enforced thereby, are fuUy and explicitly recognized and established in the Constitution ol the State. Even a foreigner not a citizen lets the same right to travel and be entertained as a citizen, and there is nothing in onr jurisprudence which makes distinctions on account of race or color, except in so far ns relates to slavery. The organic law of the - laud gives to all persons perfect equality tof civil and political rights, including the privilege of enforcing these rights iii the courts, and employing all the legal remedies which have heretofore been found requisite to secure their rights to all persons. The means however proposed in the fonrth section of the hill for enforcing these rights, are in my judgment not merely novel and un precedented, but impracticable and perni cious. It seeks to make that a crime which has never to my knowledge been so consid ered in those communities where the highest regard is paid to the persona] rights of all men. There is and always ought to be a broad line of demarcation fixed between a crime and the breach of obligation growing out of civil contracts, and we demoralize the public conscience and confusp its concep tions of right and wrong when we seek to obliterate so evident a distinction. Our statute book is filled already with criminal laws that arc never enforced and never .twill he. until public opinion rises to their respect ive levels- The history of the world is full of examples of this sort, when acts not in themselves criminal have been vainly declared so, and in this wav a levity of feeling in re gard to real crimes is produced. , We relapse into the legislation of a less en lightened period when we try to convert an act which is properly a question of civil dam ages into an offence against the peace and dignity of the State, and it ought to he care fully borne in mind that we cannot hope by legislation to control the question of personal association ; much less can we hope to force ou those who differ from us in our views of what is humane or courteous or ChriAian- like. Mutual forbearance and kindness and the noble belief in the brotherhood of man i)clst sirring from a higher source than the tear of punishment. They can never be forced to grow by^pains and penalties. : Again, so far as railroads andf steamboats are concerned, it must be borne in mind, that the regulation of commerce between the Several States was wisely confided under the Consti tution of the United States to the National Congress. The effect of this-grant of power was clearly to prevent the confusion which would arise from conflicting legislation on such subjects by the 41 fie rout contiguous States, and the wisdom of the provision ap pears more clearly every day as the means of transportation are increased and improved. By the second and third sections of this act in distmetiofi is ’deafly made ^ between rail roads and steamboats whose routes are whol- iv within this .State and those whose routes are beyond. Of course’ our criminal jurisdic tion cannot go beyond our State lines, and in this respect the act seems impolitic, and lia ble to produce. unnecessary confusion and j.tigation for experimental legislation of this- kinds for which the sanction of no successful precedent can be adduced. A more unfavorable occasion than the prefl-j ent could hardly be imagined. In the midst of a most exciting political campaign, fit a time when the passions, animosities and re sentments consequent upon a great war'and attendant upon great and sudden changes in affairs, are roused to the highest pitch in tensity, and when the prejudices regarding race are inflamed to Tlie utmost, it is hereby proposed to enforce bypenalties what is prac-^ ticaily class" legislation, ' and to maintain and confirm class distinction. The effect, in my judgment, of such an act wohld be to defeat rather than to promote the ends ap- 1 parently d&tS 'in’ i-igw by the author of the WU. The barriers of rata instead of being thereby removed, wul# be increased in mg stantly fretted into activity. In the mean time. any person, colored as well as white, is equally secured by the Constitution in the- enjoyment of political and civil rights, and . in his remedy for their infringement. The-' Courts are open to all alike. The same rale rule obtains in national and State Courts. The Judges of the State Courts and their of ficers are amenable to*and dependent upon all citizens alike; colored and white consti tute juries. Those of the lately enfranehised- who are wise and reflecting, will not ask fox more; they will rather deprecate a kind of legislation which, instead of advancing their present condition, only renders the enemies of their race more bitter and determined in their hostility, and furnishes them weapons whereby' to assail the right which the colored men have already acquired. In returning the bill without my signature, it is hardly necessary for me to say that I am prepared, so far as lies in my province and power, to enforce the new Constitution as it exists. Such is my desire as well as my duty, but when I find the act in question to be, in my best judgment, unnecessary and unwise, and for the reasons I have stated calculated to demoralize the public conscience, and in tensify a distinction which wifi surely yield to the power of time and the growth of more catholic views of our personal relations, it becomes no less-clearly inyiltlty tojdqcfine to. sign it.

Atlanta, Sept 26.—In the Senate the bill declaring negroes ineligible to office was j made the special order for Monday. In the House the Committee on the State of the Republic made a report, which was al most unanimously adopted. The report says ; that many of the issues which agitated the 1 country for year's have been determined by the arbitration of the sword. Georgia, in common with the people of other States com prising the de facto rGovemment of the Con federacy,' acquiesced in tie • unavoidable Con sequences of the struggle. While believing it the right of the State to return to the Union on terms of equality with other mem bers of the Union, with' the privileges and immunities of all citizens unimpaired and protected under the Constitution, the people acquiesced in the plan of r../•<■>>-.»— thought necessary arm prescribed by the Pies, ident. .. j Although the pains and penalties imposed on the best citizens were regarded as unjust and oppressive, passively yielding to the ex ecutive authority of the United States, the people of Georgia' proceeded to organize a State government in harmony with and in obedience to the terms of the President’s Ilian of reconstruction, complying with every condition ; the ratification of the emancipa tion of slaves ; the repudiation of the legal liabilities of the State ; the recognition of the validity of the public debt of the United States. Reconstruction under the Congres sional plan is an accomplished fact. *Our representatives elected undeir and by virtue of that plan have been admitted into the Con gress of the United States. AYe deprecate the highly inflammatory and violently abusive character of certain, political publications and public speeches which un duly inflame and excite the passions andipre- judices of both races. We deprecate the criminally false assertions in-the public prints and in public addresses, made for the express purpose of arousing the hostility of the negro race agaiqst the white race. We deprecate advice and suggestions given by men, who in many instances are not identified with the interests of the State, which have induced negroes to arm themselves for their defence in the exercise of their rights and privileges, which it is falsely asserted a majority of the white race desire to wrest from the negro race. We deprecate the fact that men among ns persistently. pervert and exaggerate facts, find draw iippn imagination for material for *publication, and give to the wbrfd Tisanes of falsehood, tending to produce abroad the false impression that ihere is little protection for person or property, little security for life and lib er ty iff this S.tqte. $Ye assort the purpose of the white Reople of this State to faithfully protect the negro race in the enjoyment of; all the rights and privileges guaranteed them by the Constitu tion and laws of the United States and the Constitution and taws<if'this State., .We as sert that there is no purpose in any part) of the State to impair the Constitutional rights of the people peaceably to assemble for the consideration of, apy.msfitetj or~tq ob struct any portion cfTh? peopetifr fflte4ujoy- ment of any other constitutional right or privilege. 4 -_ - ; ...

He has no official functions to perform here in connec tion with application for troops, and he is of the opihifin,:how£v.etj that .the action of the Legislature,though unusual in form, meets the requirement of the Constitution in the matter securing federal aid for' Alabama: He" does not fully sympathize with the Legislature in its call for troops and expresses- his .confi dence in his own ability, by cirii machinery; to maintain the peace o£ the State.

The Governor is apprehensive that during the : excitement of the coming election imprudent parties may commit acts which will lead to serious disturbance, unless restrained by some assurance from the President that such will be promptly put down by federal authori ty. Beyond these assurances Governor Smith is inclined to think that no federal inter ference is necessary at present. Washington, September 26.—Mayor Bowen and Alderman Richards have sued the Eve ning Express for slander, claiming ten thous and dollars damages.

I . The scheme, as esp'uined to us by an intel ligent gentleman, is tiis: Let all the plan ters of a county hfivefi common warehouse to store their cotton, P>1 let this warehouse he under the control of several responsible, and reliable gentleme), selected by the plan- tersiof the county,'wlpse duty it shall be .}o- receive and receipt foj the cotton, and that it is properly st jred and protected.'— Then, npon tina aggregate amount of cotton stored, let these genthpen borrow money at a reasonable rate of inprest, and from it sup ply the immediate ptguniary necessities of the planter, at the.samijrate of interest upon .which it was obtained ly fhe keepersj of the. : warehoqsa-r-each'ifiantcT having the privilege :to borrow- money in proportion to.the amotmt ' ! of cotton, he has in stole, If a planter, is wil ling to take: the marfct price for his'cotton and desires to sell, let the warehouse "buy it, if the market price is too low. and it then be comes the property of the other plahters of the association, ard becomes also a portion of the common stick upon which the money is borrowed to supply the demands of the planters. By this means it Is thought planters will be enabled to hold their cotton for good prices, I and instead, of their labor being the sport and plaything of speculators, it will rule and con trol them, if not shut them out of the market altogether; for if the entire cotton crops of counties can be thus collected in the hands of a few planters, they can sell directly to manufacturers aiid consuuers of the raw ma terial, anil not a bale liil into the bauds of speculators. The price vill then be settled by and between the prodiccr and consumer of. cotton, and the planter can demand Tiis price instead of being forced to take what ever is offered. When the question of price is settled betwen the producer and copsumer, then, if the speculator wants to show Lift hand, and force the manufacturer to pay more for cotton than the planter asks, let him overbid the manufacturer, and he is then en titled to control the price, for the planter lias fairly disposed of the right to do so. . We believe that some such scheme as we have crudely outlined will soon be adopted by planters. It is certain that, as tilings are now working,, the planter v ill never be able to control the price of liis <• iltou crop, which he surely has tlie right to do.—Macon Tel. The Wat to Stop Rtotn:—A week or so ago a negro was murdered at Lagrange, a few. miles from Helena, Arkansas, and as the: murderers were, Wack, it tya# reported they were Ku-Klux. A Rev. Mr. * White, Repre-j sensitive in the -Legislature, 1 in preaching in Helena to the negroes, notified them he would preach next day at Lagrange,' and it would be a good time for them to go there armed and avenge the death of tho murdered negro. On Monday one hundred • anil fifty to two hun dred negroes, armed and ‘ mounted, started for Lagrange, and it was given out that La grange and Mariana were both to be destroy ed and vengeance taken on the white citizens. Great excitement was produced at Helena among the Conservatives, who went to the leading Radicals and insistedthat they should interfere and prevent bloodshed—but they had no intention of intAforihg, and seemed gratified at the prospect of a decided;riqb jgy^Stgr Soitta • The prominent citizens then very qnietly informed t.Uft leading Radicals that if the out rage should be committed, the bodies of tlie prominent Radicals in Helena should be belli as hostages and treated accordingly. This had the desired effect, and Wygert,’editor of the Radical newspaper, and others, accom panied the Conservative sheriff, and they ar rived in Lagrange after White had preached and before any act of violence bad been com mitted, and the mob was quietly dispersed. The citizens of Lagrange had made arrange ments to give them a bloody reception. That- is the way to prevent these outrages, hold tlie scalawag leaders, who incite the negroes to acts ot violence, responsible for them, and we shall hear of no’ more of them.— FicA s- bunj ITertiM. Fifth Act in ‘ a Protracted Tragedy. — From a note from our friend Capt. J. R. Face, of Rogersville, we lerrn that on Sun day evening last Mr. I. C. Willis, who, it will be remembered, killed the 1 notorious Bill Sizemore, about a year ago in Hawkins county, was himself murdered in Clinch, in said county, hy a man n:\iifccl Burton, Between whom and Willis theie had been an old : grudge. Tbe full particulars of the murder are not given. .. WHliu was shot first in the side. Tlie wound not producing iustant death, he asked that he might be permitted to see hiV; wife, Cut'Burton did not spare him. He then shot him in the head, tailing him instantly. Willis did not fire fi shot. The shooting was done while both were on horseback. This murder calls up a long train of ' hom i cides. In 1864, ah'old-and highly esteemed citizen of Knssellville, Mr. Cain, was killed ' by a young Federal soldier, a citizen of the same county, named Bewley. A short, tiijie afterwards Bewley was killed Ivy oiie of the sons of old man Cam! But a short "time was left for youilg Cain to livet He fell a victim to the murderous lujnd - of friend of Behv- ley, Rill Sizemore, who, shortly after the tailing of yonng Cain, ’completed the list of his murders hy brutally murdering Lieut. Thurman, of Hawkins county. Sizemore did not live long to gloat over his deeds of hlood. The'avenger was on his path, and in a;very, short time Sizemore was sent to eternity by a bullet 'from the pistol of' I. C. Willis.
