Tal E EXECUTIVE
- The Veto of the Civil Rights Bill is
mainly no the old States Rights ground. It
says:—" Hitherto every subject embraced in
the enumeration of rights contained in this
bill has been considered as exclusively be
longing to the States ; they all relate to the
internal policy and economy of the respective
States.. They are matters which in each
State concern the domestic condition of its
people; varying in each according to its own
peculiar eireunistances and the safety and
well-being et its own citizens."
It also objects that, while eleven States
are unreprrsentecl, it is a grave matter to
snake our entire colored population "citi
zens." It asks—overlooking apparently
the fact that the right of suffrage is not confer
red by the bill--" Can it be reasonably sup
posed that they possess the requisite qualifi
cations to entitle them to, all the privileges
and immunities of citizens of the United
States?"
A most sin!rular argument against the bill
is, that it " prepl)ses a discriminaiion against
large numbers or iet..lligent, worthy and pa
triotic threi.:ners, and it, favor of the negro,
to whom, after long years of bondage, the
avenues to freedom and intelligence have just
now been suddenly opened. He must of ne
cessity, from his previous unfortunate condi
tion of servitude, be less informed as to the
nature and character of our institutions than
he who, coming from abroad,has to some ex
tent, at least, familiarizdd himself with the
principles of a Government to which he vol
untarily entrusts life, liberty, and the pur
suit of happiness. Yet it is now proposed,
by a, single legislative enactment, to confer
the rights of citizens upon all persons of Af
frican descent born within the extended lim
its of the • United States, while persons of
foreign birth, who make our land their home,
must undergo a probation of five years, and
can only then become citizens upon proof
that they are ot: good moral character, at
tached to the principles of the Constitution
of the United States, and well disposed to
:the good order and happiness of the same."
We cannot but regard this as an appeal to
the lowest prejudices of the Irish Catholic
mob.
Secretary Welles, in a letter to Senator
Grimes, pleads earnestly for some legislation
to ameliorate the condition of seamen in the
navy. He recommends the establishment of
a home for their declining years, or aallow
ance of retired pay after twenty years ser-'
vice. He would have school ships established
lit the principal seaports, where they may be
taught the rudiments of `art English educa
tion and the duties of a sailor, and frotn
which, according to profieiency, they may be
promoted into the Naval Academy, become
warrant officers, potty officers, &c. ; and thus
break down the prejudice now existing to the
effect that no sailor can become an officer,
which robs the Government of much service
otherwise valuable, and drive good men into
the merchant service.
During the Last Year of the War, the
profits of the Post-office Department were
$860,000. The first three months of service
in the South caused a deficiency of over
$20,000, which goes on increasing as mail
facilities are being extended.—The Presi

Piracy in the China seas has so increased
as to almost pis an end to commerce.
MISCELLANEO'US
Tire Reconstruction Committee have
been examining the arch traitor, Gen. Lee.
The inquiry at one point, turned upon Lee's
knowledge of the barbarities practiced upon
Union soldiers in rebel prisons.. Those Who
choose, may believe his deniali, which, how
ever, are not so absolute as altogether to clear
him of responsibility upon his own statement.
Here is the examination :
Question. Had you any knowledge, while
you were in command at Richmond, of the
cruelties practiced toward the Union prison
ers at Libby Prison and Belle Isle? Answer.
I never knew that any cruelty was practiced,
and I have no reason to believe that it was
practiced,. I can believe, and had reason to
believe,
that privations may have been expe
rienced among the prisdners, because [ know
that provisions and shelter could not be pro
vided them.
Question. Were you not aware that those
prisoners were dying from cold and starva
tion? Answer. I was not; I never had any
control over prisoners, except those that
were captured• on the field of battle ; it was
entirely in the hands of the War Department.
I never knew who commanded at Anderson
vile until'l saw by the papers, after the ces
sation of hostilities, that Captain Wirz had
been arrested on that account; nor do I
know now whoicommanded at Salisbury ; at
the very beginning of the war I know that
there were sufferings of prisoners on both
sides, but as far J could I did everything in
my:power to relieve them, and urged the es
tablishment of the cartel which was estab
lished.
COLORED PERSONS 1N THE PASSEN
GER CARS.
[Mrs. Frances E. W. Harper has,sent the
following,communication to one of our dilly
journals.]
I seldom avail myself of the .privilege of
calling attention to private wrongs through
public channels; but the subject upon which
wish to
,speak -is one of importance, not
only to myself, but the class with whom I
am identified by complexion and race. Yes
terday, coming into the city from Phomix
ville, I attempted to get a passage on a street
car which I found outside the depot, but in
stead of being permitted to take my seat in
the cars, I was sent to the platform to ride
with driver. I .replied that I had ridden in
the cars in Louisville, and. asked, "Are you
more heathenish here than there?" and one
replied, "We are not heathenish;" bat the
conductor, or at least, I suppose it was the
conductor, said it was against the rule to let
colored persons ride in the ears. Can it be
possible that Philadelphia virtually says to
the wives, widows, daughters, mothers, and
sisters of those men who helped to turn the
tide of battle in your favor, that they must
either stand upon the platform or plod their
way through all weathers rather than have
the privilege of entering the cars?—a privi
lege freely accorded to ,us in other cities.
My business calls me from city to city, and
from Louisville to pbilad el ph i a no conductor
asks me either to ride on the platform or
wend my way through the raip, as I did yes
terday.
Has that religion which shrinks . from
running the cars on Sunday, no protest to
offer against that cowardly custom which thus.
tramples on the-weak and treads down the
feeble, a class whose feebleness should be
'HIE AM ERI cAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, • APRIL 5, 1866
• their weakness an ensign of protection ?To
To
me this feature of your civilization is peculiar
ly painful. To-day an orphan child demands
my care and training. Judge then of the
feelings of a mother, when the bitter lessons
of' the republic shall be read to my innocent
child. How can I tell her of the brjrtal
instincts in society that so dwarf the souls of
powerful corporations that for no crime. or
even fault of hers she must be treated as a
social outcast?—that no valor redeems her
race, no elevation of character, nor individual
developement, nor social advancement, wipes' , .
out in the eyes of the controlling element of
this city, the ban that clings to her race and
brands the brow of her people? That
although slavery has been abolished, Phila
delphia still clings to the prejudices it creat- ,
ed. and although there are no more slave-
- holders to please, she loves- the old habits of
cringing deeds and servile sentiments, too
well to adapt herself to the new era which
has dawned at last upon our once slavery
cursed but now newly redeemed country.
Nor is the colored pv.rson the only party
wronged by these hateful proscriptions. As
no man can attempt to degrade his fellow-man
without debas tig himself, so you cannot teach
your young men to act meanly towards the
weakest members of the community without
spreadin g demoralization into the ranks of
society: . The conductor who is taught to
force the maimed and crippled colored soldier
either to stand upon the platform, or to plod
his way through the storm and darkness, fails
to degrade that loyal man, but sinks his own
manhood and lays a burning shame at the
threshold of every Christian church, and at
the door of every loyal man in this city who
is not willing to brand the deed as a disgrace
ful wrong and an ungrateful outrage.

years later than the first part of nearly every other,
already includes among its patrons fill 25.000 of the
purchasers of those early works, and is everywhere
recognized as the highest authority, even by the
author's political onPonents.
Volume 11. will be ready in a few months—at the
earliest day on which a well prepared histoKy of the
war can be obtained. The entire work, inimitable
alike in excellence of plan and detail, will be vastly
superior to any •of those now completed, (most of
which were " completed" long before Gen. Grant's
report was made,) and by far the most satisfactory
Hist,ry of the late stupendous struggle—altogether
unequalled for clearness, fulness. and accuracy of
statements, combined with candor and graphic de
lineation of events. •
If completed as designed . ; the work will be authori
ty as to the events of the most wonderful era in the
history 01 the Country.—A. G. CURTIN, Governor of
Penstavania.
It would be difficult to place too high an estimate
on the service Mr. Greeley has rendered our country
by the preparmion of this volume. * * * I await
the forthcoming of the second volume with eager ex
pectation.—Wm. D. KELLEY. M. C. •
It bears the marks of labor, studied candor and
accuracy.—Nat. N. SNWARD, Secretary of State.
The narrative is simple and clear, with so much of
life and spirit in it that it is neat to impossible not to
read a whole chapter without stopping, *. * * It
will be, and ought to be read by all our countrymen.
—EDGAR COWAN. U. S. Senate.
Its accuracy, gives it a value beyond any other his
tory of that eventful period. The great industry and•
impartiality of Mr. Greeley will make this the teat of
all future histories of the Great Rebellion.—TßADDEns
STEVENS Al. C.
Of all the Histories of the Great Rebellion which I
have examined, this one seems to me the best in the
copiousness of its antecedent and concurrent Con
gressional Records, as well as of the events of the war
itself.—Scwoymm COLFAX. Speaker of U. S. House of
volume 11. will be accompanied (without extra
charge.) by a elegant copperplate' Map of the Seat of
War, worth $l. 00. Sold only by traveling agents.
