The Senate then adjourned! The Hsxiae. The House opened session at 11 o'clock, and there being no quorum present, adjourned for one hour, and at meridian again opened, session. The message from the Governor, which vetoed the bill authorizing the city to issne five million bonds, was considered. The veto waa quite lengthy, and 4aed upon grounds which were regularly mentioned. The message and bill was postponed until Monday.

After the usual preliminary proceedings of the House were gone through with, the following message from the Governor was read, stating his reasons for returning the bill providing for the issuance of five million dollars worth of bonds, without his signature. The bill originated in tbe House, and ia entitled An act no authorize and require the Mayor and Common Council of the city of New Orleans to issue bonds for the redemp tion of citv notes, and for tbe liquidation of other indebtedness." Bep. Pic. THE MESSAGE. My first objection to the bill ia that the city may be forced to sacrifice one million dollars in six per cent, gold interest bearing bonds, in order to redeem the city money, which ia not now in circulation, but held by peculators There ia no reason why these bonds should be disposed of at less than par, for there is not a holder of city notes who would net gladly ex change them for these bonds at par, thus saving the city one million dollars, which addedto the one half per cent, given to the financial agent for his services, would be a total saving to the city of one oiliion twenty five thousand dollars.

Secondlv The citv of New Orleans cannot afford to pay interest in gold. This bill provides for the oavment of three hundred thou sand dollars in gold annually. The eity haa no gold revenue and must rely upon purchase for the gold it obtains to meet the interest on these bonds. Gold is telling at a lower rate to day than it has for months past, and it may he twenty, per cent, higher two months hence. There is no cer as to the price of coin, so that the city may be able to buyt 138 to and thus pay for interest four hundred and fourteen thousand dollars in currency, the present equivalent of three hundred thousand dollars in gold but next year specie may be twenty per cent, higher, and the city compelled to exhaust the six hundred thousand dollars of taxes in order to meet the annual interest, leaving no fund with which to redeem the bonds twenty years hence.

The bonds should bear interest in the currency of the country, then the property of the city wouM not be subjected to such enormous taxation; and the city government would always know the amount to set aside with which to meet the interest on the bonds. Thirdly The second Bection of the bill au thorizes the Mayor and the financial agent, in the event the bonds cannot be sold at par, to negotiate a loan. It is objectionable for the reason 'that it does not limit the loan in amount, and does not indicate the security to be piven by the city nor the length of time for which the loan may be effected. If the financial agent fails to sell the bonds at not lees than eighty cents on the dollar, what is there in this bill to prevent him from borrowing two or. three millions of money and pledging the whole issne of bonds as collateral, to be paid in ninety or one hundred and twenty days.

This might be, in the present straightened condition of the ciry government, considered a good arrangement for the time being, but when we remember that there is nearly four millions of this money in the liandd of speculators, and that this bill does not prohibit its receipt for taxes and other dues to the city, who can say but that these bonds may, by sale under this pledge be sacrificed lor less than fifty cents on the dollar. Tbis authority to negotiate a loan should be hedged in so by restrictions that the city may not be at the mercy of the opinions or interests of only two gentlemen, however honest and capable. Fourthly There is too much power conferred npon the Mayor in the appointing ot the financial agent, and the amount of bond fcraisbed by the latter should be rather live millions than fifty thousand dollars: There should either be no security exacted at all, and the whole matter intrusted to the honor of the officer, or a bond should be exacted sufficiently Urge to secure the city from loss. Fifthly The bill does not give immediate relief, it will be, in my judgment, impossible to Bell at this time these bonds for eighty cents on the dollar. The best securities of the State, with only $0,500,000 of debt and $2 40,000,000 of taxable property, cannot be sold for sixty cents on the dollar.

Such being the case, it is to be assumed that these bonds, $5,000,000 in amount, can be sold at eighty cents when the debt of the city is over $14,000,000, and the taxable property less by over $100,000,000 than that of the State. What will be the consequence of then Either the Mayor and financial agent wiil effect a loau and 'hypothecate the bonds at the risk of the most ruinous sacrcitice, or the agent will be forced to exchange the bonds at twenty per cent, discount for city money at par, which the holders have, purchased at from thirty to fifty per cent discount, which will, whether sold for greenbacks at eighty cents, or exchanged for city money, be giving five millions of gold interest bearing bonus for four millions city money besides a loss of wnicn ts to be paid the hnancial agent. The provisions of this bill are neither demand ed by necessity nor by any just conviction of amy to tne noiaere oi city money. A very little, if any, is in the hands of the people it is all held by speculators, who have taken it at ruinous rates of discount, and who were fully apprised of the doubtful legality of tbe issne. They knew that there was no authority in the charter of the citv for it.

and that it was only tolerated for the reason that it gave tha people a currency when they had none, and supplied the deficiency in the treasury arising from unpaid taxes. They knew that on the 20th November, 18C7, the then Mayor denounced $1,164,230 of it as having been Issued by city officials clandestinely, fraudulently and witnout color of law or right," With this evidence before them. the holders cannot complain at some delay of tee city in redeeming money, wnicn naa cost the taxpayers double its value already in the increased prices fixed npon everything iwogDi oy or rasor aone ior tne city. I advocate tbe redemption of this money and desire it. to be effected at an early day, but I cannot give my assent to a bill which fixes upon the city over a million more debt than is necessary and oblige it to pay on that ueot zo.uuu.uw interest in gold, or at the pre sent rate of gold $8,280,000 in currency and a total sum of $13,80,000 in twenty years.

In my judgment the remedy is simple and wiinm tne control oi tne Legislature. First, the city should be authorized to issue its bonds tearing not more than six per cent. interest in currency, payable in four or ten years, at the option of the city, and exchanged at par for city money. A tax of one third of one per cent, should be collected to meet the interest and supply a fund to pay the princi pal. Secondly One sixth of the gross receipts oi tne city treasury snouid be set aside each month and applied to the redemption of the notes of those who prefer to wait than to exchange for the bonds of the eity as above moicaiea.

Thirdly The Treasurer should be prohib ited from paying out any more of the city notes, and those now in the treasury should be destroyed and any further issue prohibited. Fourthly The law should provide that United States currency only shonld be re ceived for taxes and other obligations due the citv. To the last proposition it may be said that the city cannot refuse to receive its notes for debts due it, but that question involves the legality of the issue in the first place, and the right of the State to intervene to protect its people from the abuses of its creature, the corporation of the city of New Orleans. With great deference for the opinion of the gentlemen of the Legislature, who passed this bill, 1 cannot refrain from saying that I can hardly conceive the provisions of a bill on this subject, which could be more objectionable to the taxpayers of the city of New Orleans than the one before me. It would be by far preferable to levy a direct tax of three per cent, on the property of the city and collect it at once, than to enforce the provisions of this bill.

The vote on the passage of the bill was reconsidered in order to act upon the veto mes sage. Mr. Pratt, moved that action on tbe message be postponed until Wednesday. 'i abied on motion of Mr. carr.

Further consideration was then postponed until Monday. Leave oi absence lor ten days was granted to Mr. Hutchinson. Mr. Lott, colored, under a suspension of the rules, introduced a resolution that Casey, contestant, receive per diem and mileage.

Adopted. A bill providing ior adiournment of tne Legislature on the 19th was taken np. together with several reports of the committee to which it was referred, as to the constitu tionality of holding a session in November, etc. The whole matter was laid upon the table subject to call. The Heuse then went into Committee of the Whole.

Mr. Carr in the chair, to consider the revenue bill. After considerable discussion, in which the majority appeared to favor the license system, the committee rose. Abe act to amend article oi tne civu Code passed. The act to incorporate the Loan ana rieage Association passed.

The House then adjourned. It is said that the proprietors of the cele brated plantation bitters rent no lesa than nine pewa from the different denominations in New York city for all thos of their, employes who will occupy them regularly, free of charge. This ia certainly praiseworthy. and it ia to be honed that others who employ a larfc number of people, will follow the example. The above fact, accompanied with the belief that a firm who wonld look so closely after the morals and welfare of their employes, wonld not undertake to impose upon tne public, naa induced ns to give tbe planta tion bitters a trial, and having found them to be all that ia represented, we cordially recom mend them as a tonic of rare merit.

Gen. Lee's Letter to Rosecrans Endorsed. Qualified Negro Suffrage Favored. i Yesterday's Afternoon Dispatcnes Charleston, S. Oct.

16. A large meeting was held here this evening to hear John (nincy Adams. Mr. Adams said he had come here by invitation, and therefore felt at liberty to give that moet unpleasant of commodities good advice. He said he bad beeu a Freesoiler, then a Republican, voted for Lincoln, was.

a supporter of the war, and an enemy of slavery. This was his position at the close of tbe war but then, when the Southern people bad laid down their arms and were ready to come back, be was ready to take them by tbe hand and receive them. Many tbe best men of tbe Kepubliuan party held the same views. Then came the thirteenth amendment abolishing slavery, ratified by all the Southern States then the fourteenth amendment containing the clause disfranchising Southern leaders. He thought the Southern people right in rejecting it: they could do no less.

He then stated that the North had always considered the people of the South, who were engaged in the war, as rebels, and when conquered, as prisoners pf war, who had no rights. They appeal to the constitution, but it is not their constitution they fought against it and the reconstruction acts regard the Southern States as foreign territory. The chief difficulty now between tbs Northern and Southern people is not difference of opinion tbev think nearly alike, but. unfortunately they do not seem to understand etch other. People in Massachusetts still had the traditional idea ot the Southern man dirk in one pocket, pistol in the other cigar on one side of the mouth, quid of tobacco in the other; indolent and domineering, and intolerant of any difference of opinion.

Since coming down himself he finds that the newspapers have not told the truth about tbe South he had spent several days in intimate converse with Gen. Wade Hampton had learned his views of the future, and is now satisfied that Hampton id no more of a rebel than himself (Adams.) He then said that the people of tne South must not expect much from any political party. If Grant is elected it will not bo as bad for the South as any here appear to think that they should remember, however, above all things, that whether they like it or not, they could do nothing they conld not again go to war how would they get ammunition or even banners The policy of the Sonth is peace. The North desires assurance that elavery will not be re established, neither the old form nor yet as a punishment for crime, and there must be perfect freedom of speech then, but not until then, can there be perfect reconstruction, harmeny and reunion. He spoke words of kindness to the negroes, present in large numbers, assuring them that it was to their interest to stand by their friends whom they had known longest, and not be carried away by the air promises of carpet baggers who only want their votes.

When the present questions are settled, as they soon must be, white would stand by white, and black will go down unless the negroes stand on their present course. He said be was opposed to universal suffrage, but was satisfied that the people of the South were ready to concede impartial suffrage to white and black, as is the case in the Radical State of Massachusetts. With, the extinc ion of slavery, he said, all cause for bad feeling hetween the North and South had passed away, and he hoped that soon Massachusetts and South Carolina would again stand side by side, as brothers and friends, as they had done in the days of the Revolution Columbia, S. Oct. 16.

The State Cen tral Executive Club unanimously adopted a resolution, presented by Wade Hampton, in dorsing Lee letter to itoeecrans. 1 he sense ofthe club was decidedly in favor of qualified negro suffrage. An address to the people will doubtless be lesued in a lew days. Rochester, n. Oct.

three of their' late publications, tha very exterior of which invites examination of the contents: they are, "The Earthly Paradise," by William Morris, author of Jason "A Book About Boys," by A. R. Hope, and Little Women," by L. M. Alcott It is too late in the day for us to attempt, did space permit, an 'exposition of the manifold beauties, both of imagination and art, of vTbe Earthly Paradise," in many respects the most remarkable poem of the day.

The book comprises the following Atalanta'a Race, The Man Born to be The Doom of King Acrisius, The Proud King, Story of Cupid and Psyche, Tbe Writing on the Image, The Love of Alcestis, The Lady of the Land, The Son of Croesus, Watching of the Falcon, Pygmalion and the Image, Ogier the Dane. Swinburne compares Morris to as a teller of tales, but to ns the former seems to poetess a richer and more sympathetic fancy, certainly a far wider range and a far higher art. Mr. Hope's Book About Boys," while here and there somewhat gushing in tone and smart in style, is still the most original and practical and suggestive book of the kind yet given to the public. It is an English work, but boy nature being very much tbe same the world over, it will answer as well here, better even than original Americau vol nmes on tbe subject, for let ns Iconlefs that John Bull gives earneet and many yeared attentions to tbe training of youfjg Bull Mine Alcott's Little Women" seem to be very interesting folks.

The snatches of the etory of their lives that we have prnsed rove the antbor to be an accomplished artist in juvenile literature. We command the volume to our little lady friends. Tbe above volumes are for Sdde by Mr. A. Eyrich, 130 Cnal street.

i From Mr. Eyrich we also have Charles Lever's new novel, The Bramleighs of iiiithop's Folly," Harper Brothers, and How to Furmsh a House fwith Small Means," by Mrs. Warren, an I experienced and accomplished Eulish lady, who has studied her subject thoroughly and written ber other volumes in kindred themes. It is with pleasure we notice the re moval of our old, respected and valued citizen, Richard Charles, watchmaker and jeweler, from No. 18 New Levee street (where he has carried on the business for over? thirty years) to his own new and elegant BtoreNo.

4 New Levee, running through. to Tehoupitoulas, near Canal street, next block to his old store. Mr. Charles, from his close and careful attention, and a long life spent in his legitimate business, has been very prosperous. But still attached to his old calling, his removal has only given him new xest to prosecute it to the last.

His is an example which all should fpllow. Notice to Propertt Holders. It is proposed to form an association to be composed of the property owners of the city of New Orleans, in order to secure their combined action on any question which may affect their interests, in order to aecure.an equitable system of taxation and the proper application thereof. The list, which haa already been numerously signed by the largest and most respectable property owners of the city, may be found for the convenience of all those disposed to be come members at tbe office of Meears. C.

Girardey 6c No 17 Exchange Place. The influence' which soch an association wonld wield for the improvement of the city and the increased comfort of its inhabitants, are so obvious that it is to be hoped all property owners will go forward and sigh the rolL New Fall Dry Goods, Brussels Car ETs, etc. Messrs. B. W.

Croner, No. 551 Magazine street, have just received, per recent arrivals of steamers from New York and Eorope, a large and complete i assortment of every description of fancy and staple dry goods of the very last styles They have also on hand and to these goods they would call especial attention a splendid; assortment of Brussels carpets, mattings, rugs, mats, which they nave imported direct, and which they are prepared to sell at a lower price than any other bouse in tne city. 1 Gueble Ac. Nipfert. If there ia any one thing more bewildering than another, it is to be ushered into tbe first class fancy goods nouee ot xneeers.

uuenie ac; a lppert, id Canal street, and there be shown countless articles pf French handiwork in all their dazzling Ibeauty. We confess a weakness for the beautiful in whatever form it presents itself but we are at a loss to know bow those Parisian artists manage to get up so many things, sovvaried in design, and yet so elegant and tasteful. We were shown a new article of skirt, called, we believe, the skeleton balmo ral but not being posted in such articles we recommeua me mates 10 examine mem. Ana then, their kid gloves, thev are almost count less in quantity, and are fine in quality, ai to make us wieh that we could 'do our writing of the kinds they have single and double buttons undressed, at 1 andf.l 25 per pair; single and double buttons dressed, the same articles that gave snch general satisfaction last year, at $1 and $1 25 also. Besides the real Jouvm, guaranteed, they have a hand some glove, manufactured expressly for their bouse, with tbe brand of the house, equal to any glove made, at 1 50 per pair, and misses gloves at 75 cents per pair.

Any of our readers in want of any fancy goods will certainly be pleased in their hoatse. ItS" Did you ever know a tradesman asking for his account who had not a "bill to take up on Friday 7 i Did you ever know a lodging house mis trees who wonld own to bugs? Did yon ever know a man who did not think he could poke the fire better than you could? i Did you ever know that the most competent authority in the whole South endorse the "Charter Oak" the best family and hotel stove in exietenee. In purchasing Bee that the oak leaf is on the oven and fire doors Messrs. Sice Bros. 8'J and 91 Camp, and 565 Magazine street, New Orleans, are the sole agents.

Beware of itnitations. A Elegant Saloon and Fine Photographs. There is no saloon i devoted to the photographic art, in the South, which is at all comparable to Anderson's, No. 183 Canal street, in what are known as the "Three Sisters." It has been fitted hp in the most elegant and tasteful manner, so that a visit to it is a positive pleasure. This moat beantifnl carpets, delightful easy chairs' and sofas, fine pictures, etc meet the eye and call forth involuntary admiration.

As to his art. Mr. An derson stands second to and haa all the latest improvements, is posted, too, upon all the most recent discoveries. Anderson's fiicrures are attaining a well', deserved popu arity, and very naturally the ilite of the citv daily wend their way to his saloon. A Reconttrvcted Weddinfi.A.
