VOL. XXII.
ANOTHER VETO.
Tim Presideht Vetoes the New Freed
man's Bureau Bill,
WAsnINGToN, July 16, 1860
Tho following is the veto message of
the President, communicated to the
House today
To the House of Representatives :
ACareful examination of the bill
passed by the two houses of Congress,
entitled "An act to continue in force
and to amend an act to establish a hu
man for the relief of freedmen and ref
ugees and for other purposes," has con
vinced me that the legislation which it
proposes would not be consistent with
the Welfare of the country, and that it
is clearly within the reasons assigned
in my message of the WI of Februa
ry last, returning, without my signa
ture, a similar measure which origina
ted in the Senate.
It is not my purpose to repeat tho
objections which I then urged. They
aro yet fresh in your recollection, and
can be readily examined as a part of
tho records of one branch of tho Na
tional Legislature. Adhering to tho
principles set forth in that message, I
now re-affirm them and the line of po
licy therein indicated. The only
ground upon which this kind of legis
lation can bo justified is that of the
war-making power. The act of which
this bill is amendatory was passed du
ring the existence of the war. By its
own provisions it is to terminate with
in one year from the cessation of hostil
ities and the declaration of peace. It
is, therefore, yet in existence, and it
is likely that it will continuo in force
as long as the freedmen may require
the benefit of its provisions. It will
certainly remain in operation as a law
until seine months subsequent to the
meeting of the next cession of Con•
gresS, when, if experience shall make
evident the necessity of additional leg
islation, the two Houses will have am
ple time to mature and pass the requi
site measures. In the meantime the
questions arise, why should this war
measure be continued beyond the peri
od designated in the original act? And
why, in time of peace, should military
tribunals be created to continue until
each "State shall be fully restored in
its constitutional relations to the Gov
ernment, and shall be duly represented
in the Congress of the United States."
It was manifest, with respect to the
act approved March 3d,1805, that pru
dence add wisdom alike required that
jurisdiction over all cases concerning
the free enjoyment of the immunities
and rights of citizenship, as well as
tho protection of persons and property,
should bo conferred upon some tribunal
in every State or district where the
ordinary course of judicial proceedings
was interrupted by the rebellion and
until the same should be fully restored;
at that time, therefore, an urgent ne
cessity existed for the passage of some
such law.
Now, however, war has substantial
ly ceased; the ordinary course of judi..
cial proceedings is no longer interrup
ted; the courts, both State and Federal
aro in full, complete and successful op
eration, and through them every per
son, regardless of race and color, is en
titled to aral can be heard. The pro.
tection granted to the white citizen is
already conferred by law upon the
freadman. Strong and stringent
guards, by way of penalties and pun
ishments, aro thrown around his per
son and property, and it is believed
that ample protection will be afforded
him by duo process of law, without re
sort to the dangerous expedient of
"military tribunals," now that the war
has boon brought to a close.
The necessity no longer existing for
such tribunals, which had their origin
in the war, grave objections to their
continuance must present themselves
to the minds of all reflecting and dis
passionate men. Independently of. the
danger to representative republicanism
or conferring upon the military in time
of peace extraordinary powers so care
fully guarded against by the patriots
and statesmen of the earlier days of the
Republic, so fi•equontly the ruin of go
vernments founded upon the same free
principles, and subversive of the rights
amiliberties of the citizens, the ques
tion of practical economy earnestly
commends itself to the consideration of.
the law-making power. With an im
mense debtalready burdening the in
comes of the industrial and laboring
classes, a due regard for their interests,
so inseparably connected with the wel
fare of the country, should prompt us
to rigid economy and retrenchment,
and influence us to abstain from all le
gislation that would unnecessarily in
crease the public indebtedness.
Tested by this-rule of sound political
wisdom, I can see no reason for the
establishinent of the "military jurisdic
tion" conferred - upon the officials of
the bureau by the fourteenth section
of the bill.. By the laws of the United
States, and of the different States, com
petent courts, Federal and State, have
been established, and are now in full
practical operation. By means of these
civil tribunate, ample redress is afford.
ed for all private wrongs, whether to
the person or property of the citizen,
and without denial or unnecessary
.They aro open to all, without
regard to color or race. I feel well as
sured that it will be better to trust the
rights, privileges and' immunities of
the citizen to tribunals thus establish
lished and presided over by competent
and impartial judges, bound by fixed
rules of law and evidence, and where
the right of trial by jury is guaranteed
and secured, than to the caprice or
judgment of an officer of the bureau,
who, it is possible, may be entirely
norant of the principles that underlie
the just administration of the law.—
There is danger, too, that conflict of
jurisdiction will frequently arise be
tween the civil courts and those
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 2571866,
Lary tribunals, each having concurrent
jurisdiction over the person and the
cause of action; the one judicature ad
ministered and controlled by civil law,
the other by military. How is the
conflict to be settled, and who is to de
termine between the two tribunals
when it arises ? In my opinion, it is
wise to guard against such conflict by
leaving to the courts and juries the
protection of all civil rights and the
redress of all civil grievances.
The fact cannot be denied that since
the actual cessation of hostilities many
acts of violence, such,
perhaps, as had
never been witnessed in their previOns
history, have occurred in tbo States
involved in the recent rebellion. I be
lieve, however, that public sentiment
will sustain me in the assertion that
such deeds of wrong aro not confined
to any particular State or section, but
aro manifested over the entire coun
try, demonstrating that the cause that
produced them does not depend open
any particular locality, but is the re
sult of the agitation or derangement
incident to a long and bloody civil war.
While the prevalence of such disorders
must be greatly deplored, their occa
sional and temporary occurrence
would seem to furnish no necessity for
tho extension of the bureau beyond
the period fixed in the original act.
Besides the objections which I have
thus briefly stated, I may urgo upon
your consideration the additional rea
son that recent developments in regard
to the practical operations of the bu
reau in many of the States show that
in numerous instances it is used by its
agents as a means of promoting their
individual hdvantago, and that the
freedmen aro employed for the ad.
vancomeut of the personal ends of the
officers, instead of their own improve
ment and welfare, thus confirming the
fears originally entertained by many
that the continuation of such a bureau
for any nnneccssary length of time
would inevitably result in fraud, cor
ruption and oppression. It is proper to
state in cases of this character investi
gations have been promptly ordered,
and the offender punished, whenever
his guilt has been satisfactorily estab
lished.
As another reason against the neces
sity of the legislation contemplated by
this measure, reference may be had to
the civil-rights bill, now a' law of the
land, and which will be faithfully exe
cuted, so long as it shall remain unrc
pealed and, not be declared unconstitu
tional by courts of competent jurisdic
tion.. By that act it is enacted "that
all persons born in the United States
and not subject to any foreign Power,
excluding Indians not taxed, aro here
by declared to ho citizens of the United
States, and Such citizens of every race
and color, without regard to any pre
vious condition of slavery or involun
tary servitude, except as a punishment
or crime, whereof the party shall have
been duly convicted, shall have the
same right in every State and territory
in the United States to make and en
force contracts, to sue the parties and
give evidence, to inherit, purchase,
lease, sell, hold and convoy real and
personal property, and to full and equal
benefit of all laws and proceedings for
the security of persons and property
as is enjoyed by a white citizen, and
shall be subject to like punishment,
pains and penalties, and to none other;
any law, statute, ordinance, regulation
or custom to the contrary notwith
standing."
By the provisions of the act full pro
tection is afforded, through the district
courts of the United States, to all per
sons injured, and whose privileges, as
thus declared, are in any way impair
ed, and heavy penalties are denounced
against the person who wilfully vio
lates the law. I need "not state that
that law did not receive my _ap
proval, yet its remedies are far more
preferable than thoSo proposed in the
present bill, the one being civil and the
other military,
By the sixth section of the bill here
with returned, certain proceedings by
which the lands in the "parishes of St.
Helena and St. Luke, South Carolina,"
were sokl and bid in, and afterwards
disposed of by the tax commissioners,
aro ratified and confirmed. By the
seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and elev
enth sections, provisions by law are
made for the disposal of the lands thus
acquired to a particular class of citi
zens; while the quieting of titles is
doomed verfimportant and desirable,
the discrimination, made in the bill
seems objectionable, as does also the
attempt to confer upon the commis
sioners judicial powers, by which citi
zens of the United States aro to be de
prived of their property in a mode con
trary to that provision of the Constitu
tion which declares that no person
"shall be deprived of life, liberty or
property, without duo process of law."
As a general principle. such legislation
is unsafe, unwise, partial and uncon
stitutional. It may deprive persons of
their property who aro equally deser
ving objects of the nation's bounty as
those whom, by this legislation, Con
gress seeks to benefit.
The title to the land thus to be por
tio»ed out to a favored class of citizens
must depend upon the regularity of
the tax sales under the law as it ex
isted at the time of the sale, and no
subsequent legislation can give validity
to the rights thus acquired as against
the original claimants. The attention
of Congress is therefore invited to a
niece mature consideration of the
measure proposed in these sections of
the bill.
In conclusion, I again urge upon
Congress the danger ofclass
sq well calculated to keep the public
wind in a state of uncertain expecta
tion, disquiet and restlessness, and to
encourage ictoi•ested hopes and fears
that the.blational Governinek Will con
tinuo to furnish to classes of citizens iu
the several States rueaus ter support and
i; ,
-PERSEVERE.-
maintenance, regardless of whether
they pursue a life of indolence or la
bor, and regardless, also, of the con
stitutional limitations of the national
authority in times of peace and tran
quility.
The bill is herewith returned to the
Haus° of Representatives, in which it
originated, for its final action.

WAsnixoroN, D. C., July 16, 1866.
Philadelphia National Convention.
With a view to give the proper in
formation the following circular, oma
fluting from the National Union Coin•
mittee, has just been issued and sent
into all the States and Territories:
CIRCULAR.
WASIUNGTON, D. C., July 10, ISGG
Your immediate and earnest atten-1
tion is invited to the annexed call for a
National Convention, issued by the
National Union Executive Committee,
and the accompanying indorsement
thereof by prominent gentlemen who
are well known to the country.
Tho undersigned have been duly ap
pointed a committee to facilitate and
expedite, by correspondence and other:
wise, such action as may seem neces
sary to bring together at Philadelphia
a convention of the ablest men of the
nation, without regard to their party
antecedents, who favor, generally, the
restoration policy President Johnson
has advocated as against the danger
ous course pursued by the Majority of
Congress.
Wo deem it proper to suggest that
it is desirable that there be sent from
each State four delegates at lar#, and
two from each congressional district
who favor the principles set forth in
the call, to ho taken from the support
ers of Lincoln and Johnson in 1864,
and a like number from their oppo
nents. Also four delegates from each
Territory and four from the District of
Columbia. In those States whereof a
portion of the people were lately in re
bellion, a corresponding number of del
egates may be chosen by the people
generally who accent the principles
Stated in the call. It is not intended,
however, that these suggestions shall
interfere with any arrangements al
ready made for the selection of dole.
gates. ft is left entirely to the politi
cal organizations in the different States
and districts that concur in the princi
ples of the call to decide whether they
will choose thoir•delogat9s by joint or
separate meetings, or by their execu
tive committees.
CVs havo been authorized to appoint
temporary executive committees in
the States where the same are presum
ed to be necessary. You are there
fore requested to act as such commit
tee, and to adopt immediate measures
to secure a full delegation to the pro
posed convention, not interfering, how
ever, with the action which existing
organizations may have taken for the
same object. Your action will be such
as to aid such. movements—the pur
pose of your appointment being to pro
vide for the selection of delegates if no
adequlte preliminary measures have
yet been made.
The day fixed for the National Con
vention is near, and we desire to im
press on you and on all friends . of this
cause, that it is of the first importance
that district or State conventions, or
State executive committees, immedi
ately appoint delegates. And it is par
ticularly requested that a list of dele
gates and committees appointed be
speedily forwarded to the chairman of
this committee.
In conclusion we have to acid that
the paramount object of this movement
is to bring into a great National Con
ference from all parts of our distracted
country wise and patriotic men, who
may: devise a plan of political
action calculated to restore nation
al unity, fraternity, and harmony, and
secure to an afflicted people that which
is so sincerely desired by all good men,
the practical blessings of an enduring
peace.

Tua MOTHER or• GENERAL GRANT.—
Mrs. Grant is a nice old lady of medi
um height and size, with a faco,ro
markable not only because still show
ing tho traces of exceeding beauty,
but as exhibiting the facial character ,
istics of the Lieutenant General. The
size and contour of his head, color of
the eyes, shape of tho nose, and gene
ral expression, are inherited from his
mother, from whom, however, ho dif
fers in manner and deportment. Gen.
Grant seems stolid and unimpressible;
his mother is supremely calm, yet at
times, she is vivacious and sprightly
to the degree which v in early life, no
doubt, entitled her to, and won- for
her, the social compliment of a char,
ming woman." Mrs, Grant wears
spectacles, and dresses in plain, rich
fabrics, with becoming taste. She is
quite affable, highly intelligent, and
converses with case and grace. Iter
opinions are clearly and decidedly ex
pressed, and it is quite manifest to a
casual observer even, that the hero of
the war for the Union took from his
mother the impress of character, as
well as the mould of face and form,
that made him all he is.

Union State Central Committee Rooms
1105 Chesnut Street, Philadelphia, July
4, 1866.—T0 His Excellency Andrew
G. Curtin, Governor of Pen nsylvania--
Dear Sir :—I saw in the newspapers
some weeks ago that you had initiated
measures for a call of the Legislatures
of the several States in extra session,
to take action upon the amendments
recently proposed by Congress to the
Constitution of the United States.
From the time since elapsed it is infer
red no general concert of action has
been had, and presuming this to ho so;
many of our friends have grave doubts
of the policy of a special session for
our State.
AB your action in tho premises is
likely in some things to modify my
own,3 hope you will ho kind enough
to inform me, if consistent with your
views of official propriety, what ac
tion you contemplate on this impor
tant matter..
Very respectfully your obedient
servant,
FRANK JORDAN,
Chairman Union State Central Com
mittoo.-
EXECUTIVE MANSION, HARRISBURG,
Pa., July 11 1866.—Sir :—Your favor
of the 4th inst., has been received.
The question of calling an extra
session of the Legislatures to ratify
the amendments proposed by the Con
gress of the United States has been
carefully considered. As soon as Con
gress finally passed the amendments
consulted with the Governors of sever
al of the States by telegraph, with the
view of securing immediate -and con
certed action -in ratifying them ; be—
lieving that such a course might has
ten the great end to be attained by
their ineeporation into their organic
law. But the proposition was not re
ceived with the favor anticipated, and
it now seems settled that there will be
no general actietnof the States torati
fy be extra session, even if Pennsylva
nia should do so. To call an extra ses
sion in this State, therefore, would not
in any degree hasten the adoption of
the amendments by a sufficient num
ber of the States.
The issues involved in the adoption
of the amendments proposed for the
ratification of the States are not new.
They aro questions which were consid
ered and discussed during -the whole
progress of the war. The people. have
bad- abundant opportunity to consider
them, and I do not doubt have defini
tely made up their minds on them.
After it was ascertained that there
could be peace and union only by the
utter destruction of the military power
of traitors, who, whilst there was the
remotest hope of the dismemberment
of the Government, would entertain
no terms of adjustment other than the
severance of the States, and peace
.was
restored only after the valor
. of our
armies and the fidelity of people had
disarmed treason by the capture of its
military forces, and the convict° over
throw of those who had usurped the
forms of government in the rebellious
States, and thus compelling us to ac
cept ilia terrible arbitrament of the
sword to rescue the republic from those
who bad committed eight• milions of
people to compass its destruction, and
haying saved it at an incalculable sac
rifice of blood and of treasure, it well
becomes the people to provide for its
welfare in the future, so that those
who shall live after us may enjoy the
blessings of our free Government with
out the recurrence of discord and fra
ternal strife. In this we should be ho•
mane•and also just. While we should
be magnanimous to a reclaimed people,
who are to form an integral part of our
nation, we should also guard all see
tions against the possibility of renew
ed attempts to dismember the Union.
There must he some penalty for a
crime that has desolated our land, rid
ged it with untimely graves, bereaved
almost every houshold, and staggered
us with debt. For a.crimo so heavy
there must he some monuments ofjus
tic° as a warning to mankind of the
fate which awaits those who, actuated
by passion or ambition may hereafter
seek to destroy the noblest and best
Government on earth.
Congress has no more than mot the
demands of a loyal people in the pro
posed amendments. As a basis of re
construction, they must be regarded
by all dispassionate men as remarka
ble only for their magnanimity and
generous terms on which it is propos
ed to admit to full citizenship ninety
nino one-hundredths of those who
crimsoned their hands in the blood of
their brethren to give anarchy to a
continent. TO provide that those who
have added perjury to treason, in the
sanctuary of military and civil power
shall hereafter be unablo to repeat
their treason against our institutions,
while all others are restored to full fel
lowship, is a policy whose generosity
could emanate only from a GoVern
ment as free and as strong as ours. To
put all the States upon art equality as
to the the basis of ropresoutation is not
only reasonable but necessary. .pefore
the Rebellion three-fifths of tho slaves
wore counted in estimatingropresenta
tivo population.
Slavery having been abolished, the
slave States,unlcss tho Constitution be
amended as proposed, Will bo ent)11041
to add two fifths of their late slaves iu
estimating their representative popu
lation. Surely, we have not carried
on a bloody war of four years merely
togive tho rebellious States an inercuto
of political 'power. *That these States
shall liave no more representation, in
proportion to their vaing population,
than the old' free States hare, is a pro
position Ho just that it would seem to
be ifitposible ler any creedwau
Hylvania to ohicet. to an amendment
to prevent welt a result,
TERMS, $2,00 a year in advance.
It is just and equitable in every
senso,and while it leaves the question
suffrage wholly with the States,where
it properly belongs, it makes every ap
peal to the interests and pride of the
States to liberalize their policy, and
give to all classes the benefit of Amer
ican civilization.
That all persons,of whatsoever class,
conditions, or color, should be equal in
civil rights before the law is demanded
by the very form of our Government;,.
and it is a blistering 'stain upon our
our nationality that slavery has been
enabled, oven until the noontide of
ths nineteenth century, to deform our
civil policy, and in many States to de
ny equal justice to a largo class of peo
ple. To maintain our national credit,
our faith with our wounded and brave
soldiers and to forbid the assumption
of any part of the debt contracted for
the Rebellion, aro propositions too
clearly in harmony with the purposes
Of the people and the solemn duty of
the Government to require' elucida—
tion.
These are the issues involved in the
proposed amendments. .They aro in
tended as guarantees in the, future
against the renewal of wrongs already
long suffered. But they are, in fact
elements which should have entered
into our organic law when the Gov
ernment was framed, in oxpross terms
as they did in its true spirit. To effect
their adoption, and the restoration of
the Stately lately in rebellion, upon
the terms proposed,at the earliest possi
ble period, is my earnest desire, and
to that end my. humble efforts will ho
given with untiring zeal to the. advo
cacy of the candidates who are identi
fied with them. lam glad to know
that the great Union party that has
guided the Government so faithfully,
oven in the darkest hour of the war,
and through whose instrumentality the
measures were deiised to preserve our
'beloved Union, is cordially united in
the support of these amendments, as is
also our distinguished - candidate for
Governor—Genera} Geary.
Yielding to no one in veneration for
the great charter of our liberties, I
should not favor changes in its text for
light or trivial causes, but the late
Rebellion against the Government has
made it our duty to incorporate into
the organic Jaw such provisions for the
future safety and prosperity of the re
public as have been indicated by the
light of recent experiences. The issue
is fairly before the people.
Other issues, which in past struggles
divided us, have passed away. Slavery
is dead. After a career of mingledpow
er and arrogance, it died amidst the
theories of the cruel war which it ori
ginated, and our Constitution has al
ready boon so amended as to prohibit
it forever in the United States.
The last great struggle to gather
the liberal and just fruition of tho sac
rifices of the late .war will bo decided
by the verdict of the people of the sev
eral States in the coming elections, and
I cannot doubt the issue after tho fi
delity they, have shown in the past.—
Since tho failure of the States to act in
concert and at once on the amend.
mcnts, I do not regret that the ques
tion of reconstruction goes to the high
est tribunal known to our institutions
—the people. And when they shall
have declared ; million tongued, in fit.
vor of tho amendments, as I must be
lieve they will, their admonitions to
tho States still struggling to make the
war fruitless will be too potential to
be disregarded, and the results will be
accepted promptly by friends and foes
in the late war.
Should the loyal States, or indeed,
any considerable number of them,
unite in calling extra sessions of their•
legislative bodies to ratify the amend
ments, I shall very heartily unite with
them, regarding, as I do, We speedy
adoption of tho amendments as• the
greatest blessing that can be bestowed
upon our whole country.
Very reveetfully, your obedient
servant.

A Boy STRUCK BLIND FOR BLASRDE
MY.—The Brighton [England] Observ
er relates a case where the vengeance
of the Almighty was visited on a youth
named Richards. Tho youth was 13
years of ago, and had been playing for
some time with his companions, when
a dispute arose between thorn as to;the
"notches" _Richards had scored. He
declared that ho had made moro than
twenty, and his opponents protested
that ho had not made so many. High
words and bad language were freely
used on both sides. Each boy accused
the other of falsehood, and at length
Richards, failing to convince his corn,
panions of the truthfulness of his state
ment flow into a-rage and emphatical
ly shouted, "May God strike me blind
if I haven't made more than twenty."
He had scarcely uttered the adjuration
before, he let the "dog" fall out of his
hands, and, throwing; up his arms, ex..
claimed, "Oh I dear, I can not see."—
His companions ran to him, and find
ing what ho said was true, at his re.
quest led him home, where, on exam,-
nation, it was found that a thick film
had overspread each of his. eyes. In
this miserable condition the unhappy
youth has remained ever since, and wh
aro informed that there is little or no
prospect pi' hie'sight being restored.
THE Radicals in Congress can unite
on any question extending the privi
leges of the negro - , but they cannot
unite on the tariff interest of the White
people of the north.
