During.i cursory debate in the House, a few days since, old Iliad Stevens, of tliia State? was asked .if he could state the amount of money that had been drawn from the U. S. Treasury in aid of the freedmen ? Thad said he did not know the. precise'sum, but he believed “ about TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS had been voted to the blacks during the last two.years.” Think of that, tax-payers. Ten mill ions of dollars of your money, it is ad mitted by Stevens, has been given to the lazy blacks inside of twenty-four months. But this is not all. The ra tions, clothing and medicines furnished to the freedmen, are not included in the ten millions spoken of by Stevens. He speaks of money alone—money voted by Congress, and taken from the treas ury. The other expenses are far in ex cess of the amount received in money, and we are safe in saying.that during the last two years the freed negroes have cost the government thirty millions'eff itnllar* Il- ls there a nation but ours on the face of the earth that would tolerate this reckless extravagance ? What right, we ask, have the fanatical fools' who compose a majority of the two Houses of the Rump Congress to squander the people’s money in this manner? Wo have no objection to these men calling the negro their “ brother” and their “equal,” but we protest against them maintaining these negroes in idleness at the expense of the tax-payers of the nation. They have no right to do so.— No people on God’s footstool are so relentlessly taxed as are the Americans to-day, and yet with all our taxes we see our public debt increasing daily and monthly. A prudent man, when involved in fi» nancial difficulties,becomes economical, and, by every means in his power, re trenches his expenditures. Not so with the reckless majority of the Rump Con gress. from the very hour that Lin coln took his seat as President, extrava gance beyond precedent and stealing be yond beliefcomraenced. After the war had ended and the party in power could count the hundreds of millions of debt they had contracted, it was, hoped they would begin to think of the danger that threatened us ns a people, and commence a system of retrenchment mid reform. But no. The people hoped in vain, for they see their debt augmenting, and a reckless extravagance persisted ‘in, cal culated if indeed not intended, to con vulse the nation and plunge it into an archy and repudiation. ■ What do the people mean? Is it pos sible they no longer feel or care for the nation? Will they continue to fold their arms in listless indifference as they see tens of millions of dollars taken from their treasury every year to be lavished upon lazy negroes? Will noth ing arouse them from their lethargy?— Let the solid men of all jrarties look at these things calmly, and we think they will agree with us when we say that if this extravagance, this stealing, is not arrested, and 4 the men throttled who are engaged in it, bur Government will soon show symptoms of debility, and finally end in anarchy and confusion. IS ftItXHEII INSANE? Sumner, it is feared, will land in a mad bouse before long. No motion, on any subject, can be made in the Senate, with out him popping up and moving ids stereotyped amendment, viz: “ without distinction of color.” A ludicrous little incident happened in the Senate a few days ago. The session had been a pro tracted one, and finally some one moved an adjournment. Sumner jumped to his feet and moved to add to the motion the words, “ without distinction of color.” 'Die Speaker, nonplussed at the ridicu lousness of Sumner’s amendment, asked him what he meant? “What amend ment did I propose?" asked the Massa chusetts statesman. The Speaker repeat ed it, for his information. “ Oh,” says cuiimer, “ I nee, I see—l withdraw the amendment, for I confess it is not perti nent.” The Senate adjourned, the mem bers being convulsed with laughter. And this man Sumner, of Massachu setts, is the leader of his party In the Satiate,and his beck andnod are regard ed JaiV in that once dignified but how contemptible body..Ho ’wonder pur country is on the verge,of Ijankruptey and ruin when its aitaivs by builbons like Sumner and Thad.biv'^ 1 ’ 8 ' Both me insane on. the subject of the negro; and both would send the country’ to thobottom of the ocean, if by so doing they could secure “equality”, to the “pe't Jamba,” iw Lincoln called the negroes. We mean the article on our flrst pugej taken from the Philadelphia Aye; oh the subject of the arrest and Imprisonment, in 1864, of Colonel SamueJ North, Levi Cohn, and Marvin M. Jones, who-had, been appointed by the Governor of New York, under an act of the Legislature, to visit the troops belonging to that State, then in the Held, for the purpose of fur nishiug them tickets, and to receive their votes. It was the year of the Pres idential election, with Lincoln and Mc- Clellan as the candidates. These gen tlemen, North, Cohn and Jones, were among the best men of the State of Now York—men of wealth and character— and they entered upon their duties with a determination to discharge those du ties honestly and faithfully. They never for a moment supposed that three petty tyrants—three men who exercised arbi trary and despotic powers—had conspir ed together, like a band of pirates, for their destruction. 'But so it was. Lin coln, Stanton and Holt, each one exer cising the power of his official station, had these three New York Commission ers arrested and cast into a filthy prison, where they were alraoststarved todeath. The charge against them—which was a' lie—wns “attempting to defraud the sol diers of their votes,” the very thing that Lincoln, Stanton and Holt themselves were engaged in. After suffering from hunger and vermin for months, a mock trial, which lasted forty days, was had before a Military Court selected by the three conspirators, and the’ defendants were found “ nptguilty.” But even af ter their acquittal by a packed Court, they were not released from confine ment, nor were the findings of the Court made public. North wns finally set at | liberty, but the two others were retained | in prison, and Republican journals, by authority of Stanton, published it to the world, that Cohn'and Jones had “ been found guilty and sentenced to imprison ment for life.” A few weeks subsequent, Cohn and Jones were released Also, and told to “ go,” without bearing with them anything in the form of an official discharge to show what had been the finding of the Court or the reason of their discharge. • • We need not go into particulars in calling attention to this most infamous outrage—an outrage without a parallel in history. It was a conspiracy to de- Carlisle, Pa. fraud the Democratic soldiers, of New York out of their votes, and the conspi racy was successful, and Gen. McClellan lost the support of 50,000 New York sol diers who would have voted for him but' could not for want of ballots. Infamous and dastardly as was the conduct of the two villains, Stanton and Holt, in this treasonable plot, that of Lincoln was 'still more so. His attempt, by bribery, intimidation and threats to induce one of the prisoners to perjure his soul by swearing away the liberties of his two fellow-sufferers, eclipses the most wick ed plots of the French Revolution, and has only a parallel in that other act of Abraham Lincoln, when he betrayed McClellan by withdrawing from bis command twenty thousand of his best troops, at the very hour, when the intre pid General was preparing to take Rich mond by storin'. For political objects McClellan was betrayed; for political objects the New York Commissioners were imprisoned; for political objects thousands of other men were punished in a similar way; for political objects, and to afford the Lincolnitcs an oppor tunity to, steal, the war was continued for four years, when it could have been brought to a close and the Union re stored inside of eighteen months.

The hill is the same that passed the Senate some weeks since. It reads as follows : Sec. I. lie it enacted, <tc., That on ami aflor the poßisage of this act, any railroad or railway cor poration within this Commonwealth that shall exclude or allow to be excluded by ihelr agents, conductors or employees from any of their pas senger cars anj’ person or on* iccount of color or race, or that shall refuse to carry in uuy of t/jelr cars thus sot apart, any person or persons on account of color or race, eg* that shall for such reasons compel or attempt to compel any person or persons to occupy any particular part of any of thelr.cars sot apart for the accommodation of people as passengers, shall be deemed guilty of a' misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, • shall bo llablu, in an action of debt to the person aggrieved, In the sum of S5OO, the same to bo re covered as actions of debt are now by law re coverable. Sisa 2. That any agent, conductor,or employee, of any railroad or railway corporation, within this Commonwealth, who shall exclude, or allow to be excluded, or assist In the exclusion, from any of their cars set apart for the accommodation of passengers, any person or persons on account of color or race, or who shall refuse to carry such person or persons on ac-ount of color or race, or who shall throw any car or cutft from the truck, thereby preventing persons from riding, shall bo deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon con viction thereof, shall pay a fine not exceeding live hundred dollars ($500) nor less than one hun dred dollars ($100) or be imprisoned fora term, not exceeding three months nor less than thirty days, in* both, at the discretion of the Court. We learn that “Governor” Geary has put his name to the above bill, and it is therefore, a law and in force! During the debate In both. Houses, the Demo cratic members-offered amendments to Jthe bill, requiring rail-road companies to provide cars for negroes, or separate seats at the end of the car, but these proposed amendments were promptly voted down. It was not the. accommo dation of the negroes, then, that the Radical members contended for; U was for equality with the.whites. They are mix the two races, and to compel the white man and woman to keep company with the hlgcjfsj What think you, white folks ? Po you see any negro-equality in this meas ure, and are you prepared to be jostled and crowded in the cars ne groes? Ask your wives and daughters how f/iqy relish this negro-equality busi ness, an(l if they desire to see negroes occupy the same seats in the cars with themselves? . ■ ' We ask the people of this county find Stale to reflect bn what we told them last summer and fall. We said then that the objects the Republicans l 'had in view were negro-equality and negro.- suffrage. The opposition papers, and stump-speakers denied these allegations, and assured the dupes whose votes they wanted that they entertained no such ideas. We knew they liedj we knew that negro-equality and disunion were the objects the: Radicals had at heart, and that if they succeeded at the’ polls they,would showtheir hands and avow tließo objectsbbldly anddeflantly.

S O ADMISSION. lien/ iittiicr Rho. *nho«ent, ’nnd 1 1»rnnO*_ ° 1 Condemned bcr to lioiilh n^Murdcwiw, In the House of at 'Washington', ,on the 20th Inst., during: the debate ron the bill appropriating money for the relief of starving families in the South, a bitter passage at words took place between' iieast Butler, of Massachusetts, and Mr. Bingham, (Ra dical,) of Ohio. The former opposed the passage of the bill.before the House, and the latter advocated it- in .a very able speech. In the course of the debate Butler spoke of Mr. Bingham ns having gone over to the other side of the House, (the Democratic side,) not only in body but in spirit. The debate -then procee ded thus. Wo quote fro'm the Philadel phia Inquirer, negro-equality paper: Mr. Bingham said—lt docs not become a gentle man who recorded bin vote fifty-seven times for the arch-tmitbr of ihe Rebellion for the Presi dency of the United Slates, to undertake to cost on imputation either on my integrity or on my honor. I repel with scorn and contempt any ut terance of that kind by any' man, whether he be the hero of Fort Fiahor taken, or the hereof Fort- Fisher not taken. (Hoars of laughter on both sides of the House.) lulso stand hero, sir, in the. name of the American people, to repel with seem the attempt to levy .charities by confiscation, In violation of the Constitution of my country.— That, sir, Is the proposition which the gentleman (Mr. Butler) dares to utter in an American Con gress In the sacred name of charity. (Applause and laughter.) Mr. ButljEU rose to reply, huttho Chairman an nounced that the time to which the House had limited debate had expired. Mr. BtrrLEU then asked unanimous consent to. speak for ten minutes. . Mr, EmJitinciE expressed the hope that the House would not bottle up” the gentleman from .Massachusetts. (Laughter.) Unanimous consent having been given, Mr. Butler expressed his inlinlte obligations to the House for flaklmjness. and said:— I have never concealed the fact which Is now so offen sively put forward, that I voted for Jcntorson J)a vla In the convention of my party fifty -seven times. 1 thought him the representative man of the South, and hoped thereby to sav6 the threat ened disunion which appeared in the distance.—. I was foiled, and disunion came. The difference between mo and the honorable gentleman from Ohio is this, that while Jefferson Davis was claiming to bo a friend of the Union, I supported him; while the gentleman (Mr. Bingham) sup ports him while ho Is a traitor. I did not mean to Impugn the honor or Integri ty of the gentleman from Ohio, I only said that I thought ho was leading the other side of the. House. - • • • , . Mr. Bingham—lf the gentleman had qualified his words by saying he thought so, I would not “hare said one word. • - ‘ • Mr. Butleu— l never speak anything I do not think. (Laughterrthd applause.) 1 wllltry tore peat the words I nsed. I said the gentleman had gone In spirit, ns ho had gone in bodyj over to the other side of the House. I thought so then; 1 think so now. I said so then; I say so now, and •I cannot take It back, sir. The gentleman has' had the good taste to attack me, for the reason lhatl could notiio aujr more Injury to the ene mies of mv country. I did the beat I could. Oth er men of more ability could do more. And no man is ready .to give, them higher plaudit for their valor, their discretion and their conduct than myself. Because I could not do morel feel exceedingly chagrined. If during the war the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Bingham) did as much as I did In that direction I should be glad to recognize that much done. But the only victim of-the gentleman's prowess, that I know of, WAS AN INNOCENT WOMAN. HANGED UPON THE SCAFFOLD! Ills only victim In the war was Mrs. Surratt. I can sustain the memory of Fort Fisher if he and his associates cun sustain him in the BLOOD OF A WOMAN TRIED BY A MILITARY COMMISSION AND CONDEMNED WITHOUT SUFFICIENT EVI- DENCH, IN MY JUDGMENT-! Mr. Bingham replied briefly to Butler,and said that if the blood of Innoccco was on his hands, ho did not know it, I am willing (said Mr.. B.) to leave the- question to charitable men and to fu ture ages. With my own present convictions and with the records that have gone to the coun try and to the world, I defy the gentleman's cal , umny. ' Hero the debate ended, and the House soon af ter adjourned, *• the members .being much excit ed,” according to the pupllshcd report of the pro ceedings. What a startling admission is this of Butler’s ? He, in as many words, char ges Bingham (who, it will be remem bered, was Judge-Advocate to the Mili tary Commission,) with helping to hang Mrs. Surratt, who, he says, was an “in nocent woman,” who “ was condemned without sufficient evidence!” Who were Bingham’s “associates” in this conspiracy, this murder of Mrs. Surratt? They were Major-General David Hun ter, Major-General Lewis Wallace, Bre-. vet Major-General August V. Kautz, Brigadier-General Albion P. Howe, Brigadier-General Robert S. Foster, Brigadier-General James A. Ekin, Bri gadier-General T. W. Harris, Brevet Colonel O. fT. Tomkins; Lieutenant- Colonel D. R. Clendenin, and Brigadier- General Joseph Holt, Judge-AMvocate. All these, as well as Bingham, and as well as President Johnson, who ap proved the sentence of the Commission, are included in Butler’s sweeping charge of hanging a woman “ condemned with out sufficient evidence.” The “ court,” as will bospen, was composed of Stan ton’s most obsequious military tools— men who sported high-sounding mili tary titles, hut wh° never “ set a squad ron in the field.” The man on whose testimony Mrs. Surratt was condemned to death, was a most infamous monster, who, to save his own neck, (for he was implicated in the assassination of Presi dent Lincoln,) agreed to perjure his soul arid swear away the life pf an “inno cent woman.” Previous to her execu tion this witness (Welchman,) confessed that , his story ori the witness stand was false from beginning to end. But, our space will not permit us to pursue this ‘subject farther now. We may refer to it again, and try to explain why it was that Stanton, Holt & Co. demanded the blood 'of tlia “innocentwoman,” Mrs. Surratt. TUE CONVICTION OF SANFORD CONO. VER. The evidence elicited in the trial of Sanford Conover, who has just been con victed at Washington, shows how unsafe were the Military Commisions which were set up in the place of courts of jus tice during the war. The revelations made were of the most wonderful char acter. They show clearly that this vil-, lain Conover, was employed by wicked and malicious men, high in the Repub lican Councils, to make out a case against' Jefferson Pavis by employing men .to commit perju’ry,. We give as a specir men, the following evidence had on the recent trial of Conover: Joseph A. Hoare, alias Campbel, was re examined. He recognized the paper hand ed bimas the deposition made before Judge Holt, concerning the complicity of Jeff. 1 Davis in the assasiuation conspiracy,— The witness then read the document re ferred to, purporting to have been a state ment of the conversation between John H. Surratt, Judah P. Benjamin and Jeff. Davis, relative to the measures to be tak-. en in order to accomplish the murder of Abraham Lincoln. He testified before the House JudieU ry Committee.tbat the state ment he had made to Judge Holt was false,’ and that he bad been induced to give such false .testimony by Conover, He com • mitted the widten statement of Conover to memory, which took h m several days j ho saw Conover write the- statement at the National HotelWm, .H. Roberts, N athaniel Oser and the prisoner were pre sent when the paper was written, studied and. rehearsed; it was prepared about two weeks before' he went before Judge Holt. The. witness testified that when in New York, in November, 1885, he received a letter from the prisoner; witness was ut tliis time en route to Canada to hunt up a “ supposed” witness, who, he told Judge Holt, knew more about the conspiracy.— Conover says jn the letter, “ In order nop to discourage the Judge, do not draw too much i donot lead him to believe that you are too anxious, and that yoqr greatest aim is money.. Above, all, do not. draw on him from New York; waitibyall means,.until you get to Roußo’s Point.— Let nonnecessity induce you to draw bet fore you get there,.,. I know the effect will be bad, very bad,', You had better reach RoUbo’b Point short—bad oven better bor- draw from New York; I have hot' time to' hxplaih'; but f know,apd pror mlsoyDu' thef effect ’will bo disastrous ,t 6 our schemes and prospects.

No ver before in tho history of the world, was such an Infamous transaction un veiled to the public gaze. Comment up on it is unnecessary. man. who reads the testimony can make his own reflections upon it. If he be worthy the name of a freeman,, his estimate of the transaction cannot help being a correct one, and his indignation will he arous ed. Lycoming Standard.— We have re ceived the first number of this large and well got up Democratic sheet. It ds published at Williamsport, this State, by Levi L. Tate & Co.. We have known Its senior editor, Col. Tate, long: and well. He is-an able and prudent editor, a fearless, out-spoken Democrat, and a man in whom tho Democracy of old Ly coming can place implicit confidence. — Success to tho Standard.. The Young Men’s Christian Associa tion of Harrisbrarg, attends more to poli tics than religion, its selected speakers being tho worst class of negro-equality advocates. The Rev. J Walker JackasS, q foul-mouthed demagogue and impu dent traitor, delivered a political speech before the Association last week, filled with lies and black-guardlsm such as ne gro-ecjuality scoundrels deal in. [From tbe Patriot and Union.] AT TIIE CAPlToii, An Excltliiff Scene In Hie Ucmnc—“ Bis Cry oml'lilttle Wool.” • The House, flu Monday, was in session until nearly midnight—and suohasesslon! It was confusion worse confounded. We doubt whether scuch a scene has been en acted in the House since the famous Buck shot war. The bill to .allow, negroes to ride in all railway cars on an equality with white persons, came up on third reading; Mr. McCreary, of Brie was Speakerpro terii. He announced the tltle-of the Dill, when Mr. Kerns, of Philadelphia; and Mr. Boyle, of Payette, both rose at the same time. Mr. Kerris moved the pre vious question. Mr. Boyle moved to go into committee of the whole for special amendment, desiring to add the follow ing provision, after the first section: Provided, That if any railroad company shall sot apart separate cars, or portions of its cars, sufficient for the accomodation of persons of color traveling, such com pany, or Its officers, shall not be held ‘to have incurred any of the penalties impos ed by this act by the exclusion of such persons from other ears or portions of cars than those so set apart. The Speaker, pro lent., declared both gentlemen out of order, as the bill had not yet been rend. After the reading of the hill, Mr. Boyle renewed his mottion, and Mr. Kerns did the same thing. Here' was the commencement of the fray. Skirmishers were out bn both sides, .and some sharp firing followed. Hand books wore used as hand-grenades, and volley after Volley of words were discharg ed in rapid succession. Soon the action became general along the whole of both lines. The General in command of the Republican forces, having the largest num ber of men in the field, would not listen to reason, right, or common sense. He appeared determined to carry his point at all hazards, and at every sacrifice of the rules. ' Mr. Boyle was completely overslaugh ed, the Speaker earnestly contending that he was in the wrong. lie thereupon ordered the clerk to call the yeas and nays on the previous ques tion. Forty-five Republicans responded, blit no Democrats. A qiiorum notvoting, much excitement began to manifest Itself. At this moment Mr. Boyle again arose, and moved an adjournment. The speakerdid not appear disposed to notice him. Smreral gentlemen on both sides sprung to their feet, and vainly en deavored to make themselves heard. In the midst of the melee the Speaker (pro tern.) was heard to declare the motion out of order. ; Mr. Boyle, (quickly, ahd in a very dis : tinot voice.) Then I appeal from the de- cision of the chair. Here followed another scene of confu sion, In the midst of which Mi’Boyle was again declared out of order. The Democrats with much warmth took the ground that the previous question bad not prevailed, and that both the motions of Mr. Boyle wore in order. At this the Republican side became highly excited, some half dozen of them speaking at the same time. The'Speaker (pro tem.) and clerks In dulged in an earnest conversation for a few minutes, when the Sergeant-at-arms was ordered to close the doors and to al low no person to-pass out.' The Republicans dispatched at> Impro vised colored Sergeant-at-arms after ab sentees The House became noisier and noisier. When the roll was called sixty-two mem answered to their names. The Speaker (pro tem.) started oijt bold ly and defiantly, but the noise and con fusion was <oo much for him, and he be* gan to get weak in the knees. Things were assuming a very serious shape, as the Democrats were threatened with ira‘ prisoument for contempt, anddivers other punishments. Seeingho.w mattersstood, Speaker Glass resumed his seat, relieving the irascible M’Creary. . Order,now reigned in Warsaw, or rath er, there was a lull in the storm. ‘I . Speaker Glass always behaves with much courtesy towards the Democrats, and. they appeared to be perfectly satisfied that he would treat them with fairness. The Speaker then ordered the yeas: and nays.. " Shall the main question be put?” Forty-seven Radicals voted—the Democrats still bolding out; The Speaker stated that members within the bar of the House, and not voting, were guilty of contempt under the rules, and he would becompelled toen forse the rulesif they stood outany longer. ■The yeas and nays were again called, and the bill passed under the. previous question—yeas 50, nays 27.' The Democrats, “In contempt,” as they voted gave their reasons for not vot ing while Mr. M’Creary wasiri the chair, In strong and unmistakable language.— Messrs. Jenks, Boyle, Chalfant, Quigley, Jones, Boyd, Maish and Rhoads were particularly severe on Mr. M’Creary., They gave him a terrible scathing. He endeavored to reply to Mr. Jenks, but it was a failure. Each of the Democrats said that they had been most outrageous ly dealt with by the Speaker, (pro tem,) and although in the minority, they were determined to maintain their honor, and dignity, no matter-at what cost.- They complimented -Speaker Glass -in high terms for his impartiality, and expressed themselves satisfied that if be bad been in the chair they would not have been so insulted.- Our gallant little band of Democrats have taught the Radicals that they are not to be trifled with; qnd -Mr, MlGreary has received a lesson that may ba useful -to him hereafter,‘whenever he attempts to preside over the House. - 1 . -It was contemptible in the -begiqning for the Radicals to cali the previous ques tion on such an Important bill, and show ed a great weakness on their part.; We have ‘ one consolation, however, while they can beat us in. votes; we can beat them in arguments. . . : .

Whenever the Radicals got quarreling oraongst themselves they let out some-mighty ugly Se crets. On Thursday last, Bingham of Ohio .and Bon Butler got Into a personal altercation.— Bingham twitted Butler with his military blun ders which brought such disaster and disgrace upon our arms; and Butler, referring to the part Bingham hod taken In the military commis sion which hanged Mrs. Surratt,said: “ The only victim of tho gentleman’s prowess was an <nno uoccnt woman hanged upon the scaffold! His only victim in the war was Mrs. Surratt. I can sus tain tho memory of Fort Fisher, If ho and his as sociates can sustain him In the blood of a woman tried by a military commission and condemned wllhoutsufllolont evidence I” These words, Com ing from-BonJamln F. Butler have an Important signification. They show how oven tho leaders of the Radicals regard that bloody murder—for murder it was, and os murder it wlllbo recorded on tho pages of impartial history. It Is true that while tho whole country shuddered at an Innocent woman being murdered for a political offense, the Radical leaders headed by Slovens and Wade chupkled'over tho blood they had spilled; hut tho day of their bloody orgies has ended. Light seems to bo breaking through the clouds. Even Ben. Butler grows horrified at the enormities of ' his political associates, and brands them os mur derers. , I am happy to inform you that Congress soon Intends, to establish a Republican form of gov-. ernment for Pennsylvania. 1 see it announced in tho Chronicle that alarge number of influen tial citizens from Pennsylvania are In tho city for tho purpose of urging upon Congress'the pressing and immediate necessity of making a military district out of your State and placing it under the command of oho of Stanton’s.

Massachusetts, offered the following BUI to regulate the elective fran- chise iu the United States: Wiieueas, The fourteenth article of the amend ment to the Constitution of the United States has been ratified by ft sufficient number of States, ahd is therefore a part of the fundamental law; and, Whereas, The first section of said article of, amendment declares that* 1 all persons born or naturalized In the United States; and 'subject to the Jurlsdlotlon thereof, are oittzens of the United States, and of the State wherein they reside, and that no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or Immunities of citizens of the United Statesand, Whereas. The said fourteenth article of amendment to the Constitution empowers Con gress to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of the said article; Therefore, Be it enacted by the Senate and Home of lieprcsantativcs of the United Slates iu Congress, assembled, That there shall bo no denial or the elective franchise tqany male citizen of the Uni ted States by any State on account of color or race or previous condition, anything in the constitu tion or laws of any State to thocontrary notwith- standing. 1 . Seo. 2. Andbe it further enacted, That, each and every person who shall violate the provisions ol this aot shall on conviction in any court of the United States, be fined for each and every offence not less than one thousand dollars, or bo Impris oned not less than six months, or both, at the discretion of the court. The man who can stand lip in the face of .this bill, and say that the Republican party la not In. favor of negro-suffrage must have a good deal of check. It Is remarkable whnt astern devotion to the principles of the Constitution, and what pro found regard for habits of economy have been developed on the pari of the Radicals during the debate on the bill appropriating a million of dol lars for the relief of Southern distress; Their conscientious scruples never troubled them when they appropriated 89.0U0,000 for the lazy, worth.- lesa blacks of the South; but when 81,000,000 Is asked for thestarvlng whites we hear moreabout 11 the dear old Constitution!* than wo have heard from Radical throats for the last twenty years.— The money being asked to relieve the distress, of the whites, is of cpurso’rcfuscd; had It been for the negroes, the request would have beorrgrnnted cheerfully. The President has sent In* his veto of the sup plementary Reconstruction bill. It will compare favorably with any of his best efforts, and Is a plain, logical and constitutional document. The President argues that all the machinery of mar tial law and military coercion, has bat one ob ject, the elevation of the negro and the forcing upon the people of the South a class of citizens to whom they object. Ho then makes an apt quo tation from a speech of Daniel Webster, on South Amorloftli affairs, us /eljowsf, **A milUary ro. public, a'govcrnment founded bn mock elections and supported only by the sword, was a move ment-indeed, but a retrograde and disastrous movement from the bid-fashioned monarchical systems,” and’added—“ If men would enjoy the blesslngfTbf republican govcrnrtiont, they must govern themselves by reason, by mutual counsel and colsolatlon, by a sense and feeling of general interest, ond.by the acquiescence of the minori ty la the will of the majority,"properly expressed; and above all, tho military must be kept, accor ding to the language of our Bill of. Rights, in strict subordination’,to ,the civil authority,- Wherever this-lesson is not "both learned and practiced, there can be no political freedom,’. Ab surd,, preposterous is It, a scoff, and a satire on free forms of-constitutional liberty, for forms of government to be prescribed by military leaders and tho right) of suffrage to ho exercised at the point of the sword.” . Caucasian, VETO OF THE STPPLESIENTABY BECON< STBVCTIOK mi.l.. To the Souse of Representatives ; , I have considered the bill entitled “ An Act Supplementary to an Act to provide for the more efficient government of the Rebel: States,” passed March and to facilitate restoration, and now return it to the House of Representatives with my objeotions. This bill provides for elections In the ten States brought under the operation of the original act,to whichitissupplemen tary, Its details are principally directed to the elections for the. formation of tbe State constitutions, but by the sixth sec tion of lbs bill, all elections in the State occurring while the original act remains in force are brought within its province. Referring to tho details, it will be found that, first of ail, there is to be a registra tion of the voters; no one whbse name has not been admitted on tbe list is to be al lowed to vote at any of these elections.' To ascertain who is eutittled to registration, reference is made neccessary by the ex press language of the supplement to the original act and to tbe pendihg bill. Tbe fifth section of the original act provides as to voters that they shall be made citizens •of the State, twenty-one years old or up-- ward, of whatever race, color, or previous condition, who have been residents of said State one year. Thiels the general quali fication, followed, however, by many ex ceptions. No one can be reglsterdd, ac cording to the original act, who may be disfranchised for participation in the re bellion, a provision which left undeter mined the question as to what amounted to disfranchisement; and whether with out a judicial sentence,'the act itself'pro vided that o’ftefct. This supplemental] bill superadds an oath' fp be taken’by every person before his name call be admitted to registratlon' tbai I 'he has'not been dis franchised for participation la any rebel-; lionorclvli war ngqiugt tire United States. It thus imposes ! upon evefy person the necessity and -responsibility or deciding for himself, under the-peril 'of punish ment by a military' commission if he; makes a mistake.’ what makes disfran chisement by participating in rebellion, 1 and what ampunis to such participation ?: Almost every man, tho negro as-well os the white, above twenty-one years of age, who was resident in'the ten States during the rebellion,Voluntarily orlnvoluntarilyj at some time, and in' some waj). did par ticipate in resistance to the lawful autho rity of tho general government. The ques tion with the citizen to whom this oath is to be proposed, mdsfrbe a fearful one, for while the bill does-not declare that perju ry may be assigned for such false swear ing. hor fix any penalty for the offence,’ We must not forget’that rtiartlal ipw pre vails; that every person. U an'aWetabfe to a military commission Without ipte Vldud presentment by a Grand Jury; for any charge that may be made against him, and that tho supreme' authority of' the military commander determines the ques tion as to whatJs the -measure of punish ment. : •• '.'■ 1 1 - 1 til -i ! ‘ The fourth 1 section of the bill provides that the cdmmandlnggenerai'ofeaoh dls4 trlct shall appoint#) many Boards offieg istratlon as may he-necessary,.consisting of three loyal oific^rs.orpersons., Th e P n *> r ■quhhflcatl9o sttfed-Tor £| ;thpt theypjhht heJbyWi 'Mieynaay'heper* sous in the military service, hr civilian ret pideutaof the Stateorstrapgdrsr Vet these persons are to exefoibo-'rhost Important du ties, aiid cretldu, They hie to pamee they are to superintend tho elections and I to decide all questions may arise. They are to have the of tlie bal lots; and to make returns of tho persons elected ; whatever frauds or errors they must pass without redress. All that Is left for the commanding general Is to receive lie returns, open thesame, and ascertain who are chosen, according to the returns of the officers who obnduct such elections. By such means, ahd with this sort of agency, are tho con yentlonsof dele gates to be constituted. As the delegates are to speak for tho peo ple, common justice would seem to re quire that they should have authority from tho people themselves. No con vention bo constituted will, in any sense represent the wishes of the inhabitants of the States for under the all-embracing sections of these laws by a construction, which the Uncertainty of the clause, as to disfranchisement, leaves open to *he Board of Officers the great body of the people may bo excluded from the polls, and from all opportunity of expressing, their own wishes, or voting for delegates who will faithfully reflect their senth meats. I do not deem it necessary further to in vestigate the details of this bill; no con sideration could Induce mo t 6 give my approval to such an election law for any purpose and especially for the great pur pose of framing tho constitution of a State. If ever the American citizen should ho left to the free exercise of his own judg ment it is when ho is engaged In forming the fundamental law under which he is to live. That work Is hia work, and It can not properly be taken,out of his All this legislation proceeds upon the contrary assumption that the people of each of these'States shall have no consti tution except such as. hiay bo arbltrarily dictated by Congress, and formed under the restraint of military rule. A plain statement of facts raakcsrthls evident.— In all these States there are existing con stitutions formed in the accustomed way by the people: Congress, moreover, says thattho constitutions are not loyal and republican, and requires the people to form them anew. What then, in the opinion of Congress, is ncccessary to make the constitution of a State loyal and republican 7 The original act ans wers the question; it is universal negro suffrage—a question! which the federal Constitution, leaves-to the States them selves. At! this legislative machinery of martial law, military coercion, and po litical disfranchisement Is avowedly for that purpose and none other. The exist ing constitutions of the ten' States .con form to the acknowledged standards of loyalty and republicanism, indeed, if there are degrees tn republican forms of government their constitutions are more republican now than when these States — four of which were the original States— first become membersof the Union.-Con gress dods not now demand that a single psovlslon of their constitutions be ex-- changed, except such as couffnesuffroge to the white population. It is apparent, therefore that these provisoes do notcon form to tho standard of .republicanism which. Congress seeks to establish. ■ That there may bo no mistake, It is only nec essary that reference should be made to the original act, which declares such con stitutions should provide that tho elective franchise shall be enjoyed by all such persons as have qualifications herein stat ed for election of delegates. Which class of persons, is here meant clearly appears in the same section, that Is to say, the male'citizen of said State, twenty-one years old and upward of whatever race color, or previous condition, who has been resident in said State for one year previous to the day of such’election.— Without these provisions, no construction which can be formed in any ono'of the ten States will be of any avail with Con gress. This, then, is the test which the constitution of a State of this Union must contai n to make it republican 7 - Measur ed by such a standard, how few of the States now composing the Union have republican constitutions 7 If, on the ex ercise Of the ’ constitutional-guarantee, that Congress shall secure to every State a republican form of government; univer sal suffrage for* blacks as well os whites, os a sine qua non\ the work of reconstruc tion may as well begin in Ohio ns In Vir ginia, in Pennsylvania as in N. Carolina; When T cohtCmplate 'the, millions of our fellow-citizens of the Smith with no alternative left but to impose upon therm selves this fearful and untried experi ment of complete negro enfranchisement, otid white diwfranolilßemcn b, it may boal most as complete; submit Indefinitely to the rigor of martial law, without a single attribute of freemen, deprived of all the sacred guarantees of our federal Consti tution, and ; threatened with even worse wrongs, it seems to me their condition is the most deplorable to which any people can - be reduced. ‘lt Is true that they have beCn engaged id rebellion, and • that in their object to bring abouta separation of the States and a dissolution of the Union there was an obligation restiiig upon ev ry loyal citizen to treat them as enemies, and to wage war against their Cause. In flexibly opposed to any movement imper iling the integrity of the government, I did .not hesitate to urge the adoption of measures fertile suppression of insurrec tion. After a long and terrible struggle the efforts of the government-w Ore tri- Umpbantly successful ; and tho people of the South, submitting to. the Stern arbi trament, yielded forever the issues of the contest; Hostilities terminated ; soon af ter it became my duty to assume the re sponsibilities of the Chief Executive of fice of the republic, and T at once en deavored to repress and control the passion which civil strife bad engendered, and no longer regarding these erring millions as enemies, again acknowledged them as our friends and opr countrymen. Tho war had accomplished Its objects the na tion was saved, and that cardinal princi ple of mischief, which, from the birth of tho government, had gradually but in evitably brought on the rebellion, totally readicated, Then It seemed to me, was tho conspipjous timg to commence the work of reconstruction, Then, when the peoplesoughtonce more our friendshlpand protection, 1 considered it OUr duty gen erously 1 to meet them in the spirit of chhrlty and forgiveness, and to conquer them even more effectually by the mag- : nahimity of the nation than by the force of its arms. I yet believe that if the poli cy of reconstruction then inaugurated, and which contemplated an early restora tion of this people to air their political rights, had received the support of Con-' gress; every one of these Btatos and all i their people would at this moment be fast anchored in the Union and the great Work which gave the war all its action, and made it just and holy, would have been accomplished. ■ Then all over the vast and fruitful re gions of the South peace and its blessings would have prevailed; while now millions are deprived of rights guaranteed by the Constitution to every citizen and after nearly two years of legislation, find them-, selves placed under an absolute “ military despotism;” A military, republic, a gov-, eminent'formed oh mock elections - and supported Only by the sWord, Was nearly a quarter Century since, pronounced.by' Daniel- - Webster, when speaking of the 1 South American States; as ** a movement indeed, but a retrograde'and-'disastrous ’ movement, from the regUlaf andold-ftish iOned monarchical systemand added, 11 if men would enjoy the blessings of re publican-government, by mutual Counsel and consultation, by a sense, and feeling' of general interest, and 1 by the aequle-: Scenes 1 of the minority in the will or the : majority, -properly expressed; au'd above all the military must be'kept, according to the language of our 811 l of- Bights, in; strict subordination to the civil authority.; W bene ver this lesson - is not to be learned and practiced, there can be no political freedom;.
