The ladles will receive alternate Fridays, from 1 to 3 p.m. There will bo evening receptions al ternate .Mondays, from 8 to 10 p. m. THE VETO. Before exhibiting any ebullition of feeling, or censuring the veto became it li a veto, or retorting to tho cheap refuge, eo common In then days, of ftyllng thU menage another triumph for tho "copperhead" and another victory for tho rebels, and such like tuff, we bare only to request of the community to road thli clear and considerate itate paper, previous to making up a "map" judgment. Whoever dooi so, In oar opinion will won dcrthat inch a measure ever received a ma jortty of votei In either branch of Congrats However prejudiced persona maybe In favor of tho general purpose of the vetoed bill and we were among those predisposed Id Its favor few will rise from the perusal of this mea sago witfaoat astonishment that, so far as Congress was ooncerned, it was made law, or without gratification that by Executive in terference It was prevented from becoming a pari of tbo legislation of this country. Now, as heretofore, we are for all posilblo Federal aid and protection to the colored race In the maintenance of their lately ac quired freedom. Wo abate neither a Jot or tttUo of onr derire to see them In the fall possession and enjoyment of those civil and natural rights which appertain to their on franchlsed condition. Every measure, scheme or policy within legal bonndi, that secures to them life and liberty, the unrestrained ex ercise of personal freedom, the fruits and re wards of their toll, and the unhindered priv ilege to acquire and pones a property, will have our entire and earneat approbation. To inauro tho freedman these great rights and Mailings we are willing to go to the very verge of constitutional power, btyond that limit c4 do not propoie tv tttfjmtt fur any rattf uhttt or black, or for any purpose Aorr 0txr human or dttirablt m Uitlf. Lot It bo understood once, and for all, that tho veto of the President Is in no wise a re fusal to protect or assist the freedman In his rights as above enumerated. Ills objections do not Ha against the policy of Federal as sistance to him In retaining his freedom, or receiving the benefits arising from his pres ent state. Thoao objections are against a dangerous usurpation of power by Congress over the States, unwarranted by any consti tutional authority, or any precedent custom, and tho establishment of a cumbrous system of Irresponsible officials unknown to our tra ditions, save In one Infamous Instance, and whlah from tho nature of their origin and tho temptations with which they are sur rounded, would not only frustrate the benefi cent object which this bill might have had In view, but wouldond to the total destruction of the present system of local American gov ernment. No sophistry of the most persuasive hu manitarian, no caviling of the most oaptlous theorist, no declamation of the most unprin cipled demagogue, with his vile misuse of the sacred, name of liberty, can change the fact that tho reasons urged by the President against the Civil llights bill are made against Its details, and are not adverse to the principle of Juatlce and protection to the negro rax. It Is Impossible to make a review of this document without reproducing It It Is so mmnematlcally staled that It cannot well be condensed. It Is a raking Are along tbo whole tine of tbo bill, and every section falls under ih unerring dlreotness and strength of tbo bl that Calls upon It. Ths President queries, "whether, when levM of the thirty-six States are unrepre sontedla, pongrtls, st this time, It la sound poUey tosnaks) our eollr colored population and WJ olfyJxcepUd elasseaclttf en of the United Btatss V1 He malnUIof tiut und'er b proposed hill'4' 6 State can art? t xsr- efManj power of discrimination between lh different raoee." II asks with much force If "Congress can repeal all State laws dis criminating between whites and blacks In the subject covered br this bill, whr mav not CongvVu repeal In lb lamt way aUtatt laws discriminating between the two race on tbo subject of auffrag and office?" II assert thai The legislation thus proposed Invades the Judicial power of the State," and shows conclusively, we think, that by this bill "The legislative department of the Government of the United States thus takes from the Judicial department of lb States the sacred and exclusive duty of Judicial de cision, and contorts tbo State Judge Into a mere ministerial officer, bound to decide ac cording to the will of Congress." II also demonstrates that this measure could so be operated that the monstrous anonoly would result "that over the vast do main of criminal Jurisprudence provided by each State for the protection of Its own clt Ixens, and for the punishment of all persons who violate Its criminal laws, Federal law, wherever It can be mad to apply, dlsplaoes State law." In referring to the agents and officers to be appointed under this bill, he save they are to be clothed with "such au thority as might be made a terrible engine of wrong, oppression and fraud,' and "that under the influence of such temptations" a this bill presents, "bad men might con vert any law, however beneficent, Into an Instrument of persecution and fraud." The language of the bill, according to the Presi dent, "soems to Imply a permanent military force that is to be always at hand, and whose only business It Is to be the enforcement of this measure over the vast region where It Is intended to operate." A slnsJJBJanee at these towering objec tions will make any oandld reader agree with the conclusion of the President, that "the details of the bill seem fraught with evil.' Unless we are prepared to dispense with the Constitution of the land, and adopt as the supreme law the shifting and uncertain will of Congress, this bill cannot receive the sanction of our people. That It Is the most flagrant attempt at concentrated power ever conceived or attempted In this Republic no one will deny, who is unprejudiced, or un committed. That If It becomes a law, the boundaries between the State and Federal jurisdiction are forever obliterated, and that it is a step towards enthroning the Congress at Washington with the absolute powers of the Parliament at London, cannot be success fully refuted. In asking for simple protec tion, and proper guaranties for the rights of the btackjman, we, nor the country, did not ask for the abolition of State Jurisdiction, or for the assumption of authority by the Fed eral Congress which would change the na ture of our Institutions, and cause us to abandon our peculiar form of government. In demanding impartial Justice and freedom for the blacks, we did not seek to enslave our selves, or surrender any right which was the sacred legacy of our fathers, and which In preserving makes the glory of our Constitu tion and laws. Again we affirm that the grave objections made against this strange bill are agalntt t$ revoltlog features, not against the policy of fairnoas or Justice to the negro. The Presi dent aaye bo will "ebeorfally eo-oporoV with Conrress In any measure that may be neces sary for the protection of the civil rights o? the freedman." Bat as to a measure which smites down the rights of States to control and regulate cllisenshlp, which paralyses their Jurisdiction, and makes the Independ ent eprc!ie of legislative or official duties a crime punishable by fine and Imprisonment, which makes the Federal commissioner and agent more potent than the highest officer of the State, that offers a permanent bribe, by way of fees, to stimulate litigation, and em broil the community In arrests, and trials, and conflicts Innumerable) and which pro poses nothing less than a standing army to enforce Its power, the President wisely "withholds Us assent;" and for this noble rescue of our constitutional liberties from the perils of centralisation and despotism the people will say, "Amen."

Mr. Thomas A. Dudley, Consul at Liver pool, gives a history of the efforts made In England for the prevention and cure of the disease, which have proved mainly unavaila ble, and suggests the sending of a commis sion to Europe by our Qovernment to exam ine and report upon Us nature and means of prevention ana amelioration, lie also re ommends further legislation for greater ee curlty, and refers to an attempt to send hides irora an miectea aismci 10 mis country. Consul Abbott at Bhoffield writes that the farmers who were at first opposed to extreme measures, are now, In oonaequeno' of tha loss of their cattle and hides, demanding tho moat visoroua measures. The Commissioner of Agriculture, from the voluminous reports of the British Com mission and other official data, condenses a brief history of the plague, which Is officially declared to be Identical with the Rinderpest of Continental Kurope, and with the fatal murrain of 1740 wnicn ravaged bngiend for twelve years, ana In tne last year destroyed 30,000 cattle In a single county.
