TIIK PRESIDENT VETOED.
The Senate having passed by the Con
stitutional majority of two-thirds the Civil
Rights bill, vetoed by the President, the
bill came up for consideration in the House
ou Monday last, and was passed by a vote
of 122 yeas to 41 nays, whereupon the
Speaker announced : " Two-thirds of the
House having, on reconsideration, agreed
to the passage of this bill, and it being cer
tified officially that the Senate, by a sim
ilar majority, has also agreed to its pass
age, I do, therefore, by the authority of the
Constitution of the United States, declare
that an act to'protect all persons in the
United States it their civil rights, and fur
nish the means of their own vindication,
has become a law."
The adoption of this first measure by so
decisive a vote should have the effect of ar
resting the downward career of President
Johnson, by showing him that the public
sentiment of the country is unchanged and
1 unchangeable, and that the freemen of the
' nation will stand by their Representatives
jin the adoption of all proper measures to
secure the rights of the citizens and the fu
ture peace and prosperity of the country.
It is a source of great congratulation
| that the Representatives of the people have
; stood up so bo]dly and firmly against the
1 seductions of patronage and the threaten
; ings of power. It is evidence that they
appreciate the sentiment of the country and
are not afraid to rely upon the intelligence
i and patriotism of the masses.
The passage of this law,over the veto of
President Johnson, will undoubtedly bring
about an understanding between that func
tionary and Congress,or irreparably widen
the breach which his obstinacy and apos-
I tacy has already opened. If lie shall recog
; uize in it the voice of the people rebuking
his madness, and listen to its teachings, all
will be well ; but if he shall persistently
and wickedly insist upon the adoption of
his " policy," the open arms of the Copper-
I heads will receive him, and lie is lost to
i the Union party of the country. We trust
that reason will once more assume its sway,
; passion and prejudice give place to wise
| counsels, and that President Jouxsox will
yet live to redeem himself from the odium
of late occurrences, and assist in the con
summation of those great measures which
are necessary for the future peace and hap
! piness of the country. Should lie fail to
] herd the significant warning contained in
the passage of this law, his name will he
execrated as one who had an opportunity
to benefit his country, but who basely and
ignobly despised and neglected Ins priv
leges, and became alike a traitor to the
nation's best interests, and the betrayer of
the partv which trusted and honored him.
I
; CHOLERA. —The steamship England, Capt-
I ain Grace, from Liverpool on the 28th, via
i Queenstowu on the 29th ult, for New York,
was forced to anchor off Halifax, Nova
; Scotia, Monday, for medical aid. She is
, there detained in rigid quarantine, having
cholera on board. The disease appeared
:on Tuesday, the 3d of April, when the first
case occurred. Since then there were one
i hundred and siyty cases to Monday morn
; ing. Fifty persons died. The engineers
| of the vessel were sick and could not move
i her to the quarantine ground ; so she lies
! near the lighthouse. '■ The ship took out
' twelve hundred and two passengers and
had a crew of one hundred men. Three
j doctors went on board from Halifax, and
the passengers were to be cared for, some
' in the hospital ship and others in shanties
erected on the beach. The passengers are
| mostly Germans and Irish. It is thought
1 that the disease was brought from Germa
i ny,

Eißoi'E.—By the arrival, Monday, of the
I steamship England, off Halifax, and the
j Atlantic and Ilansa, at New York, we have
1 news from Europe to the 29th of March,
! four days later.
The German question was still more ser
ious, and a war crisis regarded as innni
! nent. It was thought the financial condi
tion of Austria would compel her to strike
| quickly after she was armed. Italy, it is
j now said, will preserve a strict neutrality
i during the struggle.
A special envoy of the Fenian Head Cen
tre of the I. R. 1?. is said to have arrived
at New York, on the Atlantic. Tie is spok
j en of as the aea.nl courier of Mr. Stephens.
Before leaving for Paris Stephens visited
London. It is claimed by his agent that
half of the British troops in Ireland are
Fenians, and that two hundred and fifty
thousand Fenians were standing ready in
I that country to "strike for freedom when
the order is given." Another Fenian ar
| mory had been seized near Dublin. The
London Times corespondent in Dublin says j
i that Stephens could have piaced "a formi
j dable well armed force in the field."
The London limes hopes that the United
States will "compensate"' England for her
passive attitude under the Fenian invasion
threats towards Canada, and, editorially,
expresses its great reliance on Mr. D'Arcyi
MeGee as a pillar ol EngliJi strength in j
that colony.
The agitation on the Reform bill question j
was increasing in England.

Rumor at Fortress Monroe whispers

SENATOR TiiUMBELL'S REPLY TO- VETO
"NUMBER TWO.
Six weeks ago last Tuesday the Hun.
Lyman Trumbull,Senator in Congress from
Illinois, delivered his memorable reply to*
the President's veto message of t e Frced
men's Bureau bill. The masterly argument
which he then made in favor that measure
against the veto of the Executive, remains
.to this day unanswered and unanswerable.
It went before the country, side by side
with the veto message itself, like the anti
dote with the insidious poison, and as a re
sult the earnest loyal people through the
public press, in their legislatures and con
t ventious, as well as at the ballot-box, have
set the unmistakable seal of their disap
probation upon the veto. The speech of
Senator Trumbull, delivered in the Senate
yesterday, in reply to the President's veto
message of the civil rights bill—or, to use
Andrew Johnson's own language when a
member of the Senate, the second attempt
of the Executive "to dictate to flic Ameri
can people and to the two houses of Con
gress in violation of the spirit, if nol ol the
letter of the constitution"—was, if pos
sible, even more able and complete in point
of argument than his effort of the 20th of
February. Senator Trumbull, it will be re
membered, is the author of both the vetoed
measures, and he was, therefore, the man
of all others eminently qualified to dissect
and scatter to the winds the miserable soph
isms ol the President. Tf the people were
amazed at the glaring inconsistencies, the
grossly perverted, not to say false state
ments, the pernicious doctrines and the un
pardonable ignorance of the Executive un
masked by Senator Trumbull in his great
speech on the Freedmen's Bureau bill veto,
what will be their verdict when they com
pare the same Senator's effort of yesterday
with t e President's veto message sent into
the Senate a week ago ? Upon this, as on
the previous occasion already referred to,
Senator Trumbull took up and replied to
the President's objections seriatim. Ilis ar
gument, in our judgment, establishes the
following points conclusively against the
veto message, and in favor of the bill, as it
passed both houses of Congress by more
than a two-thirds vote :
I. That all persons born in the United
States are citizens of the same, and that
since the abolition of slavery, by amend
ment of the Coiisttution, the negroes parti
cipate in this citizenship. This is proved
not only by the official opinion of Mr. Bates,
the Attorney General during Mr. Lincoln's
administration,and the action of the present
Secretary of State,but it was also theopin
of the late Hon. \Y. L. Marcy, Secretary
of State during President Pierce's admin
istration.
11. That a citizen of the United States is
also a citizen of every State where lie may
happen to be, which is settled by the decis
ion of the Supreme Court of the United
States, delivered by no less an authority
than Chief Justice Marshall, in the case of
Gassies vs. Ballou, wherein the Chief Jus
tice affirmed that "a citizen of the United
States, residing in any State of the Uniqp,
is a citizen of that State."
111. That it is not the first time, as the
President alleges, "the right of Federal
citizenship is proposed to be given bylaw,"
as will be seen by reference to Lawrence's
"Wheaton on International Law " Under
various treaties, resolutions, and acts of
Congress, Spaniards, Mexicans, Indians,
and some of the class mentioned in the bill
have been made citizens of the United
States.
IV. That the fact that certain States are
unrepresented in Congress is their own
fault and not that of the Loyal States ; and
that the President's argument with regard
to passing laws without these States being
represented would, if sanctioned,lie utterly
destructive of the Governne nt.
V. That the bill does not discriminate
against foreigners and in favor of the ne
gro, but simply declares that there should
be no distinction in civil rights on account
of color. The best argument on this point,
as Senator Trumbull said, is furnished in
Andrew Johnson's speech on President Bu
chanan's veto of the homestead bill, where
in he said :
"But this idea about poor 'foreigners,'
some-how or other, bewilders and haunts
the imagination of a great many. * - -
"I am constrained to say that F look up
on this objection to the bill as a mere quib
ble on the part of the President, and as be
ing hard pressed for some excuse in with
holding his approval of the measure ; and
his allusion to foreigners in this connection
looks to me more like the ad cap/and am of
the mere politician or demagogue, than a
grave and sound reason to be offered by
the President of the United States in a ve
to message upon so important a measure
as the homestead bill."
VI. That the granting- of civil rights docs
not carry with it political privileges, hut
every citizen of the United States, as such,
enjoys the right of personal security, the
right of personal liberty, and the right to
acquire and enjoy prpoerty. These are in
alienable rights belonging to every citizen
of the United States wherever he may be ;
and that a Government which is all power
ful enough to afford him protection in his
rights.
VII. That the bill does not afford dis
criminating protection to colored people,
but simply provides that no one shall sub
ject a colored person to different punish
| ment than that inflicted on a white person
; for tjie same offence. The object of the bill
is to prevent discrimination against any
class, not to encourage it.
\ 111. That those persons whom the bill
proposes to punish, on account of disobey
ing its provisions, are such as commit the
act under color of law, and not those who
make the law ; that oflieers who under col
i or of State law, violate the laws of the
j L nited States are subject to fine and im
prisonment, as is seen irom the following
section of an act 01 ongress passed in
j littO : "that in case any person or per
sons shall sue foi Ui ir prosecute any such
! writer process, such person or persons,and
a " /Utorneys or solicitors prosecuting or
| soliciting in such case, and all officers cx
[ ecuting any such writ or process, being
thereof convicted, shall be deemed violators
i of the laws of nations and disturbers of the
| public peace, and imprisoned not excoed
| iug three years, and fined at the discretion
of the court."
IX. That a law without a penalty is of
no value whatever. The words ''under
color of law" were inserted in the bill as
words of limitation, and to assume that
judges and other officials are not to be held
responsible for violation of the United
States laws,when done undercolor of State
StututeJJind custom s, is to admit that the
king can do no wrong, and to sanction the
very act of rebellion itself.
X. That the testimony of the President
himself, gathered from" his orders to his
subordinates, shows thatjthere is an urgent
necessity for this enactment of the bill°and
thai many of the provisions of this civil
rights bill have already been embodied in
military orders issued under Presidential>
authority.
JMieh are the main points in the argument '
of Senator Trumbull, in reply to the Presi
dent's veto message. A very significant
part of the speech is that wherein Ifr.
Trumbull gives what may be termed the
secret history of the bill. From this it will
be seen that this measure, like the T'reed
man's Bureau bill, was inspired by the an
nual message of the President, delivered to
Congress at the opening of the present ses
sion. The bill itself was, moreover, sub
mitted to the President before it was intro
duced in the Senate, and also while it was
pending in the House, but, says Mr. Trum
bull, " hi• never indicated to me, nor, no far
as I k now, to any of Unfriends, the least ob
jection to any of li e provisions of the bill till
after its passage." How does this state
ment comport with the declarations ot the
Copperheads and the President's "friends,"
that Congress passed this measure in or
der to provoke a veto ? One of the most
salient po'nts of So n a tor jjTr u tnbu I l's speech
was that whenever he quoted from An
drew Johnson's sheech on President Bu
chanan's veto to the homestead bill. 80
striking was this, had it not been for the
strict order of the Senate against it, there
would have been an outburst of applause
from the crowded galleries. This bill may
be defeated, notwithstanding the able de
fence of Senator Trumbull ; but the people,
whose judgment seldom errs, mho have v a
keen appreciation of the justice and pro
priety of the measure, who have 110 pa
tience in a question involving the civil
rights of millions with the "quibbles" of
the President, or the hair-splitting logic of
his supporters and admirers, the people
will not fail to remember how and by
I whom it was defeated I

This refers to the new appropriation of,
$300,000 which had previously passed the i

AN ELEPHANT.
After the regular performance at For
paugh's Circus and Menagerie, Tenth and
Callowhil! streets, on Saturday night, March
10th, says the Philadelphia Age, a novel
and exciting scene was presented to a
number of persons who were allowed to re
main in the building. The lit of madness
which has rendered the great elephant
Romeo, now on exibition with the show, to
tally unmanageable for a week past, has
already been noticed in these columns, and
also the attempts of his master, Mr. Craven
to pacify the huge beast without resorting
to extreme violence. This elephant is the
largest now in this country, weighing over
live tons and standing nearly 10 feet high.
The enclosure now occupied by Romeo
measures about twenty-eight feet square.
When signs of ill-humor lirat became ap
parent the beast was secured by chains so
that he was kept about midway in the
space. In that position there was no pos
sibility of the elephant doing furtlie* dam
age than to occasionally raise with his
head a girder that sustained several tons
weight. The influence usually exercised
over Romeo by Mr. Craven is certainly
wonderful, and the ready obedience and sa
gacity of the beast has, perhaps, never
been surpassed by any other performing
elephant exhibited in the United States.
The first bad treatment to which the fur
ious Romeo was subjected, was the stop
page of his daily food, a measure which,
however unpleasant it might bo to the off
ending beast was undoubtedly favorable
to the purse of his keeper. For seven
days nothing whatever was given the
elephant to eat or drink, and he remained
upon his ieet the whole time casting his
trunk restlessly about, while his keen eye
flashed the fiery spirit that governed him.
No person dared venture within his reach
without increasing his disposition to be
violent,
Anything whatever witiiiu reach of his
trunk was made a weapon of ofl'euce, and
several bricks lying in his way were taken
up and thrown with great l'orce to the ex
tremity of the building. Mr. Craven closely
watched his prisoner during the entire time,
and when escape was threatened a rille
was brought into use, and its contents
iired into his head. During the few days
of trouble no less than a dozen loads were
discharged at Romeo, one of them destroy
ing his right eye, an accident which great
ly distresses Mr. Craven, but its result is
acceptable, as by no other means could
the life of the favorite little elephant, Juli
et, have been saved. After every means
had been tried to force obedience had fail
ed, Mr. Craven determined to subdue hiui
by throwing him from his feet, and about
10 o'clock <<n Saturday evening the effort
was commenced. Tackle sufficient to rig
a small sized ship was brought into use
and made'fast to the chains bound round
the feet ot Romeo, and then attached to
heavy stakes driven in the ground about
thirty yards distant. It required much
trouble to get the animal into the desired
position, and to intimidate Romeo, two rifle
shots were lired, one entering his trunk,
and the contents ol the other flashed off
his side as ii it had struck upon a rock.
About fifty men took hold of the ropes at
tached to the elephant, and in a short time
his feet were so drawn together that a few
pulls upon a line at the side laid Romeo
fairly upon the ground. The yells of the
infuriated beast us lie was being conquer
ed were terrific and lor a few moments an
unearthly chorus was kept up by the numer
ous other animals. After being cornpelh d
to remain upon his side during the night,
Romeo was released and subsequently went
through his usual performance in the ring
with readiness and submission. The ele
phajft is now as docile as ever he was, the
only evidence of his late bad humor being
the loss of an eye and scars with which he
is marked.
Ax ECONOMICAL WEDDIM;.—A young man
hailing from tlio town of Avocn drove to
Hath on Sunday in corn|iany with a young
lady and another couple, and stopped ;it
the United States Hotel. The hero of the
: party wanted a .T. p. instanter. Esq. AVes
j cott was soon produced, and the first named
' couple were soon made one. The 'Squire
| was asked how much he charged, and re
plied that he made no charge, hut loft the
j matter to the liberality of the husband.
! Husband thanked the 'Squire, ordered his
| carriage, and drove off, happy, no doubt, in
; tiie reflection that lie had got married with-
I out paying a red cent for it. Justice,
Landlord, Hostler and all were April-fooled
together, and the bride of the miserable
groom, we fear, was fooled worse than all
the rest. He even refused a certificate of
marriage, for fear of the expense of the rev
enue stamp. It is certainly one of the
i moat economical weddings we ever heard
of.— Bath Conner.
