PiesWhnt Johnisn's Vetoes.
Whatever may bo said against Pros!
dent Johnsou in support of the t.l.nige
thnt be is egotistical, wo have ytt to sec
in any instance where bis, numerous
maligncrs bavo succcss-fully brought to
bear an argument that would contradict
bis policy for tho government of the
Southern States. Iiia'llTi'is veto mes
sages he has tnkcn the Constitution for
his guide, relying on it for liis reseive.
In Iiis late in (an 1 it is of that
which wo intend lo speak,) bis argu. :
nients and deductions arc at on :e t'on
stitutional, logical aiul conelumve. lie
nukes his appeal to the people, leaving
no loop hole by which .he may be attack
ed, he docs -not appeal to passion or pre
judice, but poiuU tho way in which
right and duty lead, and asks tho pco..
pic to follow in their wake and watch
their endangered itilerests.
Id sptaking of tho second section of
tho ameuded bill as passed at tho late
session, he thus makes a poiuted attack
upon it :
" Not contcut with the general grant
of power, Congress, in tho second sec.
tion of this bill, specifically gives to
each military commander the power to
" suspend or remove, from office,;- from
the performance of official duties and tho
exercise of official power, auy officer or
person holding or exercising, o profess
ing to hold or exercise, any civil or mil.
itary office or duty in such district un
der any power, election, appointment, or
authority derived from or granted by or
claimed uudcr any so-called State or
the government thereof, or any munici
pal or other division thereof," a power
that hitherto all tho depaitments of the
Federal Government, acting in concert
or scnaratelv. have not dared to exer
cise, it here attempted to be conferred
on a subordinate military officer. To
him, as a lu'litary officer of tho 1'ederal
(Jovcrnmcnt, is given the power, sup
ported by a " sufficient military force,"
to remove every civil officer of the
State. Whit next? Tho district com
mander, who has thus displaced the
civil officer, is authorized to fill the va.
eancy by the detail of an officer or sol.
ilierof the army, or by tho appointment
of sonic other person. This military
appointee, whether bd officer, a Boldier,
or some other person, is to perform the
duties of such officer so suspended or
removed. In other words, an officer or
Mldicr of the army is thus transformed
into a civil officer.
" lie may bo made a governor, Ja leg-,
i.sla'or, or a judge. However unfit he
may deem himself for such civil duties
be must obey the order. The officer of
t!i army must, if detailed, go upon the
stnreuic bench of the State with tho
same prompt obedience as if he were
di tailed to so on a court martial. The
sc ldii r, if detailed to act as justice of
the peace, must obey as iiuickly as it he
were detailed for picket duty. What
is the character of such a military civil
officer? This bill declares that he shall
l evforin thcdutics'of the civil office to
wh'ch he is detailed. It is clear, how
ever, that ho docs not loso his position
in ti e military service, lie is still an
officer or soUicr or the army. lie is
sli ' Miljcct to tho rules and regulations
which "ovcrn it, ana must yield aue
inference, respect and obedience to
wards his superiors, Tho clear intcn
tion f this section is that, tho officer or
mldicr detailed to fill a civil office must
xecnte its duties according to the laws
of the State. If be is appointed a gov
i rnor of a State ho is to execute the du
ties as provided by tho laws of the State
mid lor tho time being his military
ih. i' actcr is to be suspruded iu his new
u il capacity. .
' A singular contradiction is apparent
be e. Congress declares these local
f-'t.ito governments to bo illegal goVeru.
tn i'ii t.-t, and then provides that the illegal
go einnieuts arc to be cairicd on by
l'e leral officers, who arc to perform the
cry duties imposed on its own officers
I y this illegal Stato authority. It
would be a uovel spectacle if Congress
should attempt to carry ou a legal State
government by the agency of its officers.
It is yet more strange that Coiigrcfs
ntleuipts to sustain and carry on an illc
giil Slate governtneut by tho same l'ed.
ral agency.
Throughout tho entire message ho
deals such conclusive blows at every sec.
ti-iii of, the bill, presenting it iu its true
and proper light. Wo wish every hon
est Republican in tho laud could read i',
for it shows so plainly that tho aims and
ends of tho Radicals in p.u-sing tlu bill
is uot to do i ny good fur the couutry,

construction ats will bo BiiHieient fur
tliat pttrpuae, lus drawn from the Kio
citivo sonic startling fact with refer,
cneetotlm iiostioti. Tlio President
says : " It will bo seen from the report
of the Secretary of Wur that tho appro,
priution or $500,000, made in the act
appruvd March ), 181)7, for the pur
pose of carrying into effect tho nets to
provide for the nnre cfuYicnt fovero.
ni"nt of the r?1.".'! S'.aies, bus dread v
been expended by the commanders of
th several military districts, and that
in addition the sain of $1,01.5,277 is re
quired for present purposes."
This is a heavy cxpenfiitaro. Oil the
VSM of Marcli, 1SU7, half a million of
dollars was appropriated. That largo
sum was placed at tho service of tho
commanders of tho several military dis
tricts into which the Southern States
have been converted by the lladical
party. Tlictc officers were tho dis
bursing agents of the appropriation.
1 he civil authorities Had uocontiol in
the matter. In less than four months
that appropriation was exhausted, and
a requisition made for over a niill;on
and a half of dollars lor present pur
poses, to cover liubilitcs already con
tracted by the officers who havo charge
of tho several military districts. In
what manner and for what specific
obiects all this money has liccn expen
ded is not stated in detail, but tho mere
facts nro sufficient to let the couutry
know how coj;lv a matter it is to de
stroy States and erect a military des
potism in their places.
But tho expenditure do not stop
with those stated above. The proba
ble expense of carrying into full effect
the two acts of March last, and the bill
passed during the present session of
Congress, must be added to tlu sum
total of cost. When that is done " it
is believed," so tho President declares
on tho authority of those having charge
of this matter of reconstruction, " that,
iu additjou to tho two million already
expended or estimated for, tho sum
which will be required for tho purpose
would not be less thau fourteen mil.
lions of dollars." And this, it must bo
borne in mind, is only declared suffi
cient to put into effect the machiuerv
ot the act3 of March last, aud that pass,
ed by the Congress in session. If sup.
plcniental or explanatory bills are
passed, if more offices are created and
greater number ot officers appointed,
as a matter of course, tho expenses will
bo proportionately augumcntcd. And
what guarantee is there that the present
act is a finality f No one ot the leaders
of the party in power has assumed that
position. The Southern States are now
destroyed and ruled by military power,
mid they will bo kept in that condition
so long an such action is Decenary lo
preserve the dominant aud ruling po
sition of the Radical party. Tho cost is
a miuor consideration so far as tho fae.
tion that rules the country is concerned.
In estimating the cost of this lladical
plot against the Republic, tho loss of
trade, commerce, and products, must bo
added to the disbursements made by
commanders under the different mili
tary reconstruction acts. But for the
efloits of the party iu power, the South
ern Stales A'ould now be enjoying their
old relations with the Federal govet n-
nicnt, and peace, concord aud amity
would reign in all parts of that import
ant section of tho Union. This state of
afl'aiis would have induced capitalists
to invest their funds iu tho South,
Larger crops of cotton, sugar, tobacco
and rice would have followed such sti
mulative action, and with something to
sell the Southern people could and
would become laigc buyers. In this
manner tho whole couutry would have
been made brisk and leiuuuerative by
receipts from the South, instead of be.
uig taxed and depressed by exactions
made necessary iu order to carry out
the despotic policy aud plans ot the
Radical party.
This is a practical way of looking at
the question ot recoustruction. J. no uu
sincss mcG can seo through this nie
dium what it is costing thciu to support
Stevens and Sherman, to keep ten
States out of the Union, to el vte mili
tary commanders over civil officers, and
to prostrate Hie materia!, interests ol a
sic'ion, rich in all thoso produc'3 which
cutci into the trade, commerce, manu
factures aud wealth of the nation. Ihe
report submitted to Congress by the
President opens up this whole question,
aud the active men of the country, those
interested in its progress and develop.
incut, cannot fail to see that they arc
paying too dearly fur Radical rule.

reproach of Republicanism. Anarchy

'I ho ballot.box has given place to the
cartridge box The only courts beard
of are courts-mania!. Murder and rob
bery are tho order of tho dav. The
couutry is full of Sheridan, all busy at
I " recQustruQt;r,-i. Tho bucnuan who
triumphs to.day shoots tho Sheridan
he vanquished yesterday, who had shot
some other Sheridan tho day before.
" Mild confiscation " (of tho Stevens
kind) is, enforced continually. When
ever a jlcxicau Sheridan occupies a city
or district, he demands a " loan " and
collects it at the point of the bayonet.
Tho enemy who drives him out makes
a like demand aud enforces it kiu the
samd way.
Tho ouly race on earth that is capa
tie of wielding the ballot to good pur
pose is the unmixed white race. This
is indeed tho only race that has shown
itself capablo of maintaining a good
and stable government of any form,
cither Republican or mouarchial. Those
arc not mere random assertions' They
are liistorical facts. If uegroes, Indians
and mixed breeds are capablo of self
governmen', why has the Republican
experimcut been snch an unmitigated
failure in Mexico f Here is the United
States, where the ballot was confined to
tho white race alone, and so long as the
interests of the whites were kept steadily
iu view, of our experiment of self-government
was grandly successful. Rut
let us brei'k down all distinctions
arising from race or color, as has been
done in Mexico and a the Radicals

The Veto. The President's veto
will be as vehemcntlv denounced u
those of Ins opponents w'uo do not read
a sciucucc ot it as by those wuo care
fully examine and consider it, and en.
deavor to find objections in something
beyond their prejudices. That his ar
guments are strong aud entitled to seri
ous consideration candid citizens will
admit, but that they will be faithfully
interpreted or honestly discussed by
those wl.o deny their appropriateness, we
have no idea. Were his words tho in
spiration of wisdom and patriotism,
they would be condemned as the indi
cations of wickedness and treachery by
men who seek not truth in discussion
but to retain their hold upon party pow
er and patronage. Therefore it is
hardly worth while for those at liberty
to commend oi condemn '.he Executive's
positions, as they may deem them sound
or falacious, tc enter into tho argument
with thoso whose judgment was pre.
detoriuincd, and whose kidneys, as Mr.
StcveDS would say are free from consii.
lutional obstructions. The better
method is to recommend to all a careful
examination oi' the President's reasons,
and thcu to give them the we:ght their
truch aud fairness merit, without bo-
coming the echo of any caucus bashaw.
