With heart m pure and patriotism us great,

J'beend approaches that sublime evenl-r
The people rallying to their President.
So sings the enthusiaHtio R. F. French, Com
misHionor of Tublic Buildings at Washington,
Chief Bouquot rrovidor for tho White House
aud Foet Laureate of President Johnson. His
"great oxpoctations," however, have vanished,
like those of the prophet Miller, who foresaw a
little too soon
The angel Gabriel with his trumpet come,
The day of judgment and rnillonnlum.
The Key. Dr. Cummlng, with his three fear
ful books "The Great Tribulation," "The
Coming Preparation," aud "The Awful Con.
summation" is much nearer the mark. The
raptures of Mr. French are like thowe of the
excited Frenchman at Niagara Falls: "Ah t
dis Is de grand gpectackel ! Supaarb ! Mag
nifiquo ! By gar ! he is a come down firs
rate 1" Moreover, as the hard-fisted demo
cracy were very much scandalized with the
gorgeous silver-plated artistocratio coach-aud-four
of President Van Buren, what will they
ay of this royal appendage of a poet laureate
to President Jehnson r The action of the
House of Representatives, in refusing any
appropriation for this monarchical luxury,
will be approved by tho people. Shall the
glories of the Administration be hawked about
in doggerel verses like the healing virtues of
"Old Jr. Jacob Townsend's sarsaparilla V
Ho ! We must hold even President Johnson
to the line and plummet of the Constitution,
and to the diagnosis of old Thad. Stevens and
his All-healing Reconstruction Bitters.
Upon this test, how stands "the Second An
drew" of the enraptured Mr. French? It ap
pears that the Blairs, the whole family, from
tho old man down, advise the President to
smother the bill in Ids pocket; that Mr. Sew
ard advises him to veto it, for reasons best
known to himself; and that the Democrats of
Congress, taking their cue from Senator
Eeverdy Johnson, are urging the saving policy
of signing the bill. This Maryland Senator, it
appears, entertains the impression that if this
bill shall finally fail, the incoming Congress will
go a step further in parcelling out the lands of
Southern white Rebels among the loyal negroes
of that distracted section. Old Thad. Stevens
is watching his chance. General Fitz John
Porter, now in New York, who has no great
cause for admiration of the radicals, it is also
given out, has written to Senator Johnson
highly approving his course in going, as a last
resort, for this radical Reconstruction bill. It
is rumored, too, that this sagacious Senator,
apprehensive of a veto, has been counselling
the President to walk lightly over the ground
of his objections, lest in stepping too heavily
he may spring the impeachment steel trap
Which lies under them. The prevailing idea
seems to be that the President, within a day or
two, will send in a moderate veto, so as still to
give the two Houses of this Congress an oppor
tunity to pass the bill over his head.
This course, if pursued as a compromise,
may answer the purpose of Hecuring the
policy of Congress without sacrificing the Ex
ecutive. In withholding the veto, if resolved
upon, till too late to be reversed by this Con
gress, or in pocketing the bill, a challenge is
involved to the incoming Congress, elected
.upon the precise test of hostility to Mr. John
Son's policy. Some concession, therefore, to
the present Congress has become essential to
his toleration under the next. If Mr. Johnson,
therefore, cannot bring himself to the point of
putting the repudiation of his pet policy under
his own hand and seal, lie can, perhaps, over
come the difficulty by a temperate veto sent
up in season, and with the understanding that
he wishes to avoid every appearance of any
further tactics or strategy to defeat the will of
a two-thirds vote of each House of Congress.
We think that, with the evidence before him
of a two-thirds vote for the bill in each House,
his best plan is to put in las objections against
it, and then the reasons of Senator Johnson for
signiug it. This course would not only effect
at once; the indetinite postponement of the im
peachment proceedings of the Judiciary Com
mittee or tuo House, nut it wouia at once pre
pare the ruling politicians of the Rebel States
for a graceful submission to the law.
Of all the occupants of the White Houso,
Captain John Tyler was the fullest exemplifi
cation of "the happy man." He enjoyed it
with a keen relish. Ho threw in his vetoes
right and left, and laughed at the wrath of
Henry Clay and the rage of John Minor Botts.
He could afford to do it, because the Southern
States were then all in Congress, and the
Whigs had but a scant majority in either
Houso. He had John Jones as his Saucho
Panza and the great unbroken Democratic
party to back him. Yet Tyler's administra
tion was a parenthesis, Fillmore's ditto; and
wherefore T Because Tyler and Fillmore were
each a little too fast for another term. But if
Mr. Johnson will only get that buzzing fly out
of his ear, he may stdl do better than Tyler or
Fillmore, a great deal better. Yielding to and
co-operating actively with the plan of Con
gross, on this Southern question and the negro
question, he can bring the great money ques
tion into the foreground, and upon that, in an
inevitable recasting of parties and party lines,
he may win the balance of power in both
Houses. Then Mr. B. B. French's immortal
lines will come into play; then, like Apollo,
ho may strike his golden lute or lyre, or his
banjo, and sing
The climax cometh that sublime event

Black Clouds In the SoutUern Sky.
From the Timet.
One reason which led many persons to tole
rate the passage of the Reconstruction bill,
who disapprove wholly of its principles, was
apprehension that the longer the subject is
left open the more severe and intolerant will
be the terms imposed upon the South. This
was urged last year as a reason why the South
should accept the Constitutional amendment,
tut it was scouted by the Southern States
under the advice of their pretended political
friends at the North. They were advised by
the World, and other Democratic lournals, not
to accept the amendment, aud were assured
that neither negro suffrage nor any other
terms severer than the Constitutional amend
inent could or would be proposed.
We have seen the result of that experiment
The Southern States, with very great una
liimity, rejected the amendment, and now they
have got that, with universal negro suffrage

tary government to hack them' up, as a sub
stitute for it. And Reverdy Johnson, a staunch
Democrat and a Southern man, voted for this
bill under the apprehension that, if some final
action is- not now taken, something Ml ill worse
will be forced upon tho country and the South.
It may 1m well enough to state that these
apprehensions are not wholly without founda
tion. It is very well understood that bills are
in course of prejwation for early introduction
into the next Congress, providing for a sweep
ing confiscation of Rebel property in the South
ern States, And for its distribution among the
enfranc hised slaves, for paying claims of loyal
men for voporty destroyed during the war,
and for glv.Jg farms to Northern soldiers who
will settle in the South. Mr. Stevens has de
clared his purpose, "God williug and he
living,'' to press bucIi a measure as this upon
Congress; anil General Banks, in debate, de
clared himself in favor of such distribution of
Southern farms among Northern soldiers as
the only effectual mode of reconstructing
Southern society. It may safely be assumed
that the whole body of radicals in Congress
will go for such a measure; and it is confi
dently expected that the rejection by tho
South of the new terms now proposed will
create a fresh feeling of resentment which will
give it popularity and strength throughout
the North. The measure ''self has elements
of attraction for many elf . ts.and is expected
to securo the support of the soldiers in a body.
It may be supposed that tho Supreme Court
will present a final barrier against the ultimate
success of such a project. But it must be re
membered that four inemlwrs of that Court out
of nine would now, beyond all doubt, endorse
such a measure; and that of the Jive who would
oppose it, one if not two will probably never
again sit on tho bench in consequence of ex
treme age and illness. A law was passed,
moreover, at the last session, which declares
that in case of the death of a Supremo Court
Judge, the vacancy shall not be filled until the
whole number of Judges shall have been re
duced by death or otherwise to seven. The
chances are, therefore, that within the next
year the Supreme Court of the .United States
will be as thoroughly in the hands of tho radi
cals as Congress is.
Senator Johnson's misgivings, therefore,
would seem to have a verv substantial foundar
tion in the probabilities of the future.
The Kxpected Veto.
From the Tribune.
Washington advices concur in anticipating a
veto of the Reconstruction bill. It is ex
pected to be sent in to-morrow.
We can regard this veto no otherwise than
as a very grave mistake and a national misfor- , i
tune; and hopeless as may bo the task, wo
cannot refrain from showing why this bill
should not be vetoed.
Let us begin by admitting that the terms of
reconstruction proposed in the bill are harsher
than we wish they were as they are harsher
than they would have been had not the
Democratic minority of the House chosen to
follow the lead of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens. They
knew for he frankly avowed that his object
was to make the bill harsher; yet they saw fit
to unite with a minority of tho Republicans in
voting down the Blaine-Sherman proposition,
after it had passed tho Senate by '29 to 10
every Republican Senator voting for it. The
Democrats so voted as to compel tho majority
of the Republicans to accept such a plan of re
construction as was satisfactory to Mr. Stevens,
or none at all. The fact that a majority of the
Republicans are at heart with Blaine and
Sherman, and not with Stevens, is one to be
regarded in acting on the main question.
As to the military provisions of the bill now
before the President, it must be considered
that they amount in substance to this The
President is clothed with power to maintain
order and protect loyal men from outrage and
murder in the South. The President is to
select the commandants of the several districts
he is to instruct them in their duties; he is to
supervise their official actions, and to revise
their judgments. What chance is there of
wrong and oppression ?
Are not these provisions needed ? Read Mr.
Pike's report on the murder of the three Union
soldiers on tho Savannah river, the escape of
these murderers from justice through a writ of
habeas corpus issued by Judge Hall, of Dela
ware, and the general satisfaction with which
their return was greeted by their ex-Rebel
neighbors. Is it possible that any man who
calls himself a Unionist will say that the pun
ishment of such murders can safely or should
be left to the local authorities of the South ?
And, if not, who can say that tho military pro
visions of the Reconstruction bill are unneeded
or too stringent 1
Again: No one will contend that no negroes
have been killed since the surrender of the
Rebel armies. We know that negroes have
here killed whites, and have been ptfuished
therefor, as was right. We know that whites
have killed many negroes, and have not been
runished. Weeks ago, we asked any one to
ioint us to a single instance wherein the ex
tebel slayer of a negro had been arrested,
tried, convicted, and punished by the local
authorities at the South. The answer is blank
silence. The fact is virtually conceded that
the ex-Rebel whites at the South will not at
all events, do not punish tho assassins of
Union soldiers or of negroes.
Need we argue that those assassins must and
will be punished, even though it should be
necessary to this end that judges should be
hurled from the Iteuch and consigned, to the
dungeon 1 If there is anything on which the
loyal heart of the country is lixed, it is that
there shall lie law and order at the feouth, and
that tho Rebel assassins of loyal men shall be
punished. And, if you do not object to this,
why object to the military features or the
Reconstruction ' bill.' They are essentially
provisional transitory transitional. Who
need dread their operation 1
"There's none ever feared that the truth should
be told.
But they whom the truth would Indict."
Now as to Reconstruction: Will those who
are advising the President to veto this bill tell
him what is to be gained by "the South" from
such a veto ? We ask a practical question,
and desire a practical answer. If this were the
beginning of a controversy, it might be well to
veto by way of taking an appeal from Congress
to the peoiile. But the appeal has been taken;
it was fairl v. boldlv made bv the President a
year ago, and the verdict is overwhelmingly
against him. It cannot be mistaken, nor
argued down. The people have decided that
the terms of reconstruction shall bo settled by
their representatives in Congress. If it was
right to make the appeal, how can it bo wrong
to abide the decision . . i1
'Hie XLth Congress is already chosen in so
far at least, that its political character is fully
decided. It is notorious that the next Con
gress will be quite as radical as that which
closes with this week. Evidently, nothing is
to be gained for "the South" hv delav.
Look, now, at the fifth and sixth sections of
the bill, and note that they recognize and
legalize the existing State Governments at the
South recognize them, indued, as "provl-
ional only;" but who ever contended that they
were more? We claim that this act legalizes
all that has been or may le done by those
governments, except that which Congress may
expressly overrule. Is this nothing?
As for tho .residue of, these sections, it is
almost wholly promissory or permissive in its
character that is,: it authorizes "the South"
to reconstruct herself in a certain way, but
commands" nothing, compels nothing. If "the
South" does not choose to accept the proffered
conditions, she' declines thom, and remains
as she Is. Why deny her a chance to say
whether she will or will not be so recon
structed? .
The exclusions and disfranchisements stipu
lated are, in the nature of things, temporary.
They are sure to be remitted whenever we
shall have fully returned' to order and peace.
.And you cannot destroy the natural weight
and influence of able and wise man by prer
scribing that they shall neither vote or hold
office. You are quite likoly to increase them.
A law prescribing that an ounce shall outweigh
a pound would not avail.
' Profoundly believing that the President's
approval of this bill would be a great step
towards the restoration of our country to har
mony and true peace, we cannot quite forego
the hope that . he will sign it. And we will
thank any one who has his ear to remind him
of this anecdote:
When Mr. Douglas had canvassed Illinois
against Lincoln in 1858, and won his re-election
as United States Sonator, ho came on to
Washington, and, like a good Democrat,
called ,on the head of his party, President
Buchanan. After mutual greetings had
passed, tho President was the first to broach the
all-absorbing topic:-"Mr. Douglas, what can
wo do with this distracting Kansas-Locomp-ton
question ?'' "Why, Mr. Presidont," re
sponded the Little Giant, "I can imagine that
we should have some trouble with that mat
ter up at the Capitol; but I don't see why
you should have any. For the Constitution
says, 'Congress shall make all needful regu
lations respecting the Territories;' but it says
nothing about the President's making any."
Surely, when the people have decided a
matter on appeal, and have affirmed thet
judgment of Congress, the President may
justly feel discharged from further responsi
bility. The New York I braid, of yesterday,
speaking of the great Paris Exposition of
1867, says:
"To an exhibition so unique as this is intended
to be, every nut ion should contribute articles
really Interesting and instructive. The objocU
