Skilled Emigrantn.
When the great tideof emigration from
great Britain to this country began to assume,
tormidable proportions, some years ago,
England kept a very stiff upper lip, and said,
haughtily:'Let them go, they are only the
scum of our people; we are glad to get rid of
them." Iu fact, so far as Ireland was con
cerned, England seemed to, , 'think the entire
.depopulation of that island Would be a blessing.
But oflate she is beginning to be alarmed
at the exodus, as it now takes to a considera
ble extent from the ranks of her artisans and
skillful laborers •of OM:my kinds, such as
weavers, miners, iron-workers and the like.
'The Loudon Tt,rico , only a few days ago,

skilled laborers from the coal and iron dis

JHE VETO PIESSAGI
Opinions of the New York Pcens.
'
it'rom 'the iVorld.l
The President's Veto Message is inferior in
ability and logical force only to his veto of the
act to which the present bill
_is supplementary.
Doubtless it is like the blowing of the idle wind,
for Congress will neither hear nor forbear. -But
Ft the truth of law, and the truth of history
which the President litters with such temperance
and force, and unless the progress of this nation
IS to be arrested in the paths of llberty,'unless
this nation is to go the downward road to des
potism, as other republics have gone which have
undertaken the great experiment of freedom,
then the recklesti, headlong, lawless legislation of
to-darwill vet be looked back upon as men look
back upon the murders which they commit in
some hideous dream.
(From the Times.]
ANOTHER VETO.
In its mutter the message is a repetition of a
thrice-told tale. It is a threadbare argument
against the policy of Congress in rewd to re
conittrUction. The assumption underlying the
that - tlfe - existilig State organliations are
illegal—the anomalies and Inconsistencies of leg
islation during and since the war—the unconsti
tutionality of - investing military officers with su
preme authority, and of stripping the Executive
of functions with which. ]t was-specifically en
dowed--and lastly; the harshness of the despot
ism temporarily established over the ?Southern
people: these are the points successively pre
sented, as they have been again and again
from the same source within the last
few months. But of what tOail is all
this ? Of what use is it to appeal appeal at every
step to a Constitution which has no binding force
or efficacy in the exigency which Congress is re
f,uired to meet? What can possibly be gained
by a reiteration of an argument which eircum-•
stances growing out of the rebellion render inap
plicable. or by appeals which the country has
pronounced inadmissible ? At first, unquestiona
lily. the argument looked strong: assuming its
premises to be correct, Its conclusions appeared
logical and just. Now that Its novelty has gone.
however, the effort is no longer worth the making.
As :in aigitment it is untenable—made so in part
by tin. President's own acts. As an expression
of hostility to Congress, it has proved ineffectual.
and now fails to command either attention or re
spect frOM the country.
In its spirit the document is singffiarly unwise,
because gratuitously offensive. It arraigns Con
gress as tyrant aria usurper. The reported as
sertion at St. Louis, that Congress as at present
organized is an illegal body "hanging to the
shirts of the Government," was scarcely More in
sulting than the epithets which close yesterdays
message. Mr. Johnson, may honestly condemn
the policy he resists—he may object to its right
as well as to its expediency; but - his position
does not warrant him In denouncing as ."the
rod of despotism" measures which the people
who elected him have approved; or in talking of
-the armed heel of power" in connection with
laws which the country sustains: or in assuming
that he alone comprehends and upholds the
principles whicle give. vitality to republicanism.
- 'flicse -- alluilritTifd assumptions would be im
proper at any time as between one branch of
the Government and another. They are indecent
in view of their repudiation by the people, who
are proper inspires in the controversy.
11,e apprehend that the tone of this message
will recemeile many to a measure which, with au
Executive more happily constituted, might be
considered of doubtful propriety.. Manifestly,
the - administration of measures so complex in
their nature, so delicate in their working, could
Tthpe t hAtirlfibt : ,. tz, l me who has no sympathy

tfficzllry legislation, designed to place the
working of this particular plan above the chances
of Executive meddling, Mr. Johnson has supplied
it oer his own signature
(Frm tho N. Y. Trilinu....;
In any trial of strength between Andrew John
,sc,rl and the people, Andrew Johnson
overthrown. Of that he may be sure. Yet if
'tle re 6 any man utterly blind to the
,events of
the d.ty and alienated from the spirit 7ind par
i.c,cs of h 6 country,. that man is the President
of the United States. He is as lhr removed from
sympathy with this nation as is the Khan of
further than the Emperor of. Japan.
h his ov,u land he is as a foreigner. lie hold s
.th, highest office, of the Union in the interest of
EON:thou. "and the. whole aim' of his policy
steins to be to substitute the defeat of the
Union for the tii-tOrylo 'which it is entitled. ft
i, his misfortune tlmt he has forgotten the rebel
lion. Tre..sou. to him, is neither a crime nor a
mistake: traitors anti rebels forfeit no'rights: the
setiession of ten States gives to the Government
no control over their reorganization; Congress,
representing the loyal people of twenty-six
States, is powerless to prevent the . rule of a'
minority of rebels. ,Yet, a few years ago Andrew
Johnson led dim band of eYireme men who de
manded that treason should be expiated by
death, who proposed ' thegallows's as
the solution 01 all National diffi
culties: and there have been no acts
as arbitrary as ins when singly, and without
consultation with Congress:. he took the whole
business of reconstruction on himself. By what
miracle these exttemes have been reconciled it is
useless to ask: it is enough that Andrew Johnson,
in the Presidency of the United States, is now
the worst foe of the people who placed him
there. At peace with the whole world, we are at
war with hint.
Every step that we have taken has been over
a Presidential veto; loyalty wherever it has
advanced has found Andrew Johnson barring. the
way; we nave fought every battle of the war over
av,ain with him for the enemy, till very weariness
Of the struggle has giveni us new strength.
* * * * *
To the extraordinary argument which Mr.
Johnson opposes to . the Supplementary Recon
struction act, the Senate replied with contemptu
ous silence, and the immediate passage of the
bill over his veto. It is almost unnecessary to
answer his evident sophistry, though. Mr. Butler
ably exposed in the House the pretence that the
legislation of Congress in reference to Fedbral
Courts in the South. and Constitutional Amend
ments, admitted the power to place the rebel
States under military rule. It is not with the
President's argument, but with the spirit
of the message, that the country will
take issue. We pass by his filinsy logic,
but we must listen to his threats. To us
the emphatic portions of the message are that
which insults the people by declaring that Con
gress has placed twelve millions of Americau
citizens undeiNt rule than which there has been
none more intolerant, and more especially that
which refuses to execute the act. HIS objections I
to the bill are worth nothing, now that it has be-
win , a l aw . He is bound to discharge the high
ditties of his executive office, to the letter and in
the spirit, and we need not predict what would
be the result, should this servant of the people
persist in affirming "I will not," When the• Nation
has again, and we believefor the last time, coin- i
mantled "You
rFromthe Her/ad.)
It Is not strange If the country has no respect
for the President's vetoes. It is only a conviction
of sincerity that commands respect for opinions
not in accordance with general sentiment; and It
is difficult to know if the President is sincere.
Not long ago, in Er Veto message, the President
expressed arguments against It bill in the most
uncompromisingly positive terms. The bill was
then on its passage, and such oposition, if Con-
Bress had been wavering, might have defeated it
ut the bill was passed, and. hardly was this
done Wore the President's former views received

then people are naturally' in doubt whether the
utterances of a veto are, the real opinions of the
n an. or whether they are only assumed. for
, Vitt, and arc to be put away and contrary ones
I taken up, as occasion may requtre. We know
not whether these opinions are td receive official
contradiction by and by; but if they arc Mr.
• Johnson's real views, we cart 'give him a com
fortable assurance . that he has taken am exag
g-erated view of our trouble; the nation is not in
such danger es he fears.
* * *
We are living in times that are loosely knit, if
not out of joint with respect to the rigid applica
tion of constitutional rules. Our constitution
was shaken in every line by the great rebellion of
the Southern people and the great war they made
to free themselves from the obligations of that
law; and it has not yet recovered from the blows
they gave. All this' reconstructive legislation is
admittedly extra constitutional; for the constitu
tion made no provisions for a case that could not
occur till its obligation was lost. But who will
maintain that the people should let the nation
perish because the constitution did not prescribe
a way to save it?
S * * * * 5- * * *
There is no departure fromthe - principles of the
upon which freedom depends.
There is departure from the letter of the law and
departure from nshge; . but we have not lived
enough on our law and our usages the past four
years to make this a cause of alarm, and we may
regard these departures as rather Inconvenient
than dangerous. It will in the fliture be the
deepest reproach to Mr. Johnson that he made
this course necessary—that he compelled Con
gress to familiarize the nation with encroach
ments on constitutional usage that might have '
been spared if he had readily and ingood faith
executed those laws that hie veto was insufficient
to defeat.
* * * * * * *
Fiom the circle surrounding the President it
has been vaguely given out that he could not re
covnize as a law an act that did not contemplate
him as its Executive; and his declaration • quoted
a hove is somewhat positive to the same etl'ect.
It remains to he seen whether the President
will act upon the theory of his arguments, and,
ignoring the existence of this law, proceed to
the enforcement of some exhumed and quite'
constitutional statute antagonistic to this, and
thus put himself in direct and open conflict
with the people. We do not believe he will. We
believe that he will content himself with a NV a r of
words; but at the least indication of a tendency to
do more his impeachment and removal will be a
matter of course. His own argument forces the
conclusion that it would have been better if he
ic'al been removed ere this-•—if Congress, once
satisfied that he would not enforce a law he did
not like, had put in his place a man with a dif
ferent sense of duty and accomplished the
national purpose in that warinstead of aceom
plishing it by meats tending to it contempt of the
offiee. .

• • The Trial of Berezowskh
The judgment of the Court of Mises en Ac
• crisation, committing Berezowski for trial, is
dated July 4. The prisoner is described as
Antoine Berezowski,born at Kolrziski (Volhynia
in Russia. on May 9, 1837, an aqiu,lteur mecanil
residing - at No. 210 Rue Marcadet. Paris;
height. 171 centimetries, hair and eye-brows
chestnut, higli forehead, brown eyes:middle-sized
nurse, large Mouth, round chin, full face. and
rather dark complexion. The document narrates
the circumstances of the crime, including the
burstingof the pistol, and the achievement of M.
. Iblimbenn, the equerry. without any material
''r interesting variation from the accounts pub
lished in the newspapers a month ago. The
following extract contains all the particulars dis
covered during the long secret "instruction"—
hether from Berezowski's oWn answers to in
tcrrogaturies, or the minute researches of the.
poimet
The accused at once accepted the responsibility
of the attempt, of which he admitted himself to
be the author. He declared that he had resolved
to kill the Emperor Alexander, and that it was
with that object exclusively that he fired upon
the Imperial carriage. Ile•said that he had con
fided his project to no one, and that he stood
"atone with his country," which he desired to
avt.nge by killing the Czar. In the course of all
his examinations he constantly affirmed that he
never meant to hurt the:Etweror Napeleon, and
was perfectly certain that the pullets would
not touch his Majesty. Berezowskie fought in
the ranks of the Polish insurrection In 1863.
After having waited ill vain for a long
time in Gallicia for an order to resume
the . campaign, he sought refuge first in Ger
many, and afterward in Belgium. He came to
Palls in the beginning of November . , 1865. He
obtained employment in MM. Gown's factory
as an culjudeur mecanicien; Withs Wages of 30 cen
times the hour. He received from the Prefecture
of Police a subsidy of 35 francs per month. In
order to improve his French, he went for ten
months to the Institution Jauffret. Since the
:10th of April last Bcrezowski was out of employ
ment until . May 27, when he went , to :Roily, in
the Department of the Oise, to work for a few
days, telling, his concierge that he should be back
on June Ist. On that day, which was the day
of the arrival ot.the Emperor Alexander he
waited two hours outside the Northern Halfway
station to see him pass. On Tuesday, June 4, he
:twain went tO see him as he was leaving the
Opera. When the accused ascertained .that ,it
was not difficult to get near the Czar, he made up
mind to take his life, and fixed June 6 for the
execution of his design. On the sth he bought a
double-barreled pistol, caps, and bullets, at an
armorer's on the Boulevard de Sebastopol. He
chose the pistol from several which he was told
had been tried. He still wanted powder, and as
his money 1% as all gone he pawned a ptiletot to
buy some. On the morning of the 6th he loaded
the pistol, and finding his bullets too small for the
barrels, he made with some lead two lingots of a
cylindrical form, 19millemetres, long, and
4 ,,
weighing 16 grammes, width he rammed into the
barrel with a piece of iron. Thus armed, ho left
his lodgings at 9 in the morning, and was never
seen there again. He breakfasted at a wine
shop, in the Rue Marcadet, from whence he pro
ceeded to the railway station at Batignolles,

Le Fate of Dr. Livingstone.
Despatches from Dr. Seward, the British Consul
at Zanzibar, reached London on the 6th. The
Consul inclines to the belief that Dr. Livingstone
is yet alive, and details many circumstances
which give grounds, at all events, for hope. The
Governor of Keelwa has addressed a letter to the
Sultan. In which he expresses himself confident
that Dr. Livingstone is not dead, and asks his
Highness whether further inquiry in the interior
is necessary.

The following private letter from Vera Cruz to
a gentleman in Havana gives some important de
tails of the capitulation of the former city :
VElet CRUZ, July 1, 1867.—After the eonfliet
and confusion that followed the appearance of
Santa Anna had somewhat --subsidect, a terrible
fear took possession of the Imperial Commissary,
Don Domingo Bureau, and he thought only of
saving himself. He sent for Don Miguel Carran,
it Merchant of. this plaee, and gave him a com
mission to the Liberal camp for the purpose of
arranging as good terms as possible under the
circumstances. In consequence Mr. Carran went
out to the Liberals and undertook to arrange the
bases for a capitulation. Gen. Benavides, com
manding the besiegers, received Carran well; and
it was with him that the ultimate terms of capitu
lation were settled.
Bureau then shipped Taboada off to Havana.
almost by force, and then called a council of 'war
to lay before - them the situation of the place and
get them to sign the terms he had secured. But
in the council, which was held on June 25, Gen.
Cuevas was present. He refused to sign any

It was in the afternoon of that day that the
vanguard of the Liberal forces entered the city in
the most orderly manner. The whole popula

danger of being blown up by the torpedoes hid

stated at over five hundred, and the plan of the
location had been carried off by the skedaddlers.
Cursiderable anxiety is still felt, lest these in

the pressure of a half ounce weight suffices to

ROIOLIBLE OCCURRENCE.
NEIN' JERSEY' VIATTENIX.
THE Surrunor: - CoNvs.sl7l6 - .--Delegates from
nearly all the townships and wards in the First
Congressional District of New Jersey have been
chosen to the Suffrage Convention '
to be held on
Tuesday next, in Trenton. South Jersey, if, oil'
the delegates.attend, will be well and ably repre
sented, and it is thought that other sections of
the State will also send - large delegations, so that,
from appearances; the Convention will be one of
the largest as well as the most important of any
ever held for any political purpose. The near
ness of the time for holding, and , the object of
this Convention, demand prompt and deter
mined action on the part of those - interested in
its success. It is to give expression by the people,
through their representatives to the principle of
so amending the State Constitution that impar
tial sufiloge shall be guaranteed to all, irrespec
tive of color. In other words, to strike from the
Constitution the word "white," and thus give
citizenship to the colored man, as well as the
right to the elective franchise. If this Conven
tion decides affirmatively on the question, the
proposition will constitute a leading feature in
the canvass - for • members - of - UM Legislature the
coming full, and the friends of the measure are
confident of complete success.

INTERESTING Mr.rrram—The camp meeting
now in progress at Vineland is exciting a great
deal of interest. It is attended by persons , -frofin
a large number of States, and some very able

THE CROPS-It is a gratifying fact that, not
withstanding the backwardness of the season and
the great amount of water fallen, every kind of
crops throughout the entire portions of South

have been aitthered gave an abundant yield, and
those yet to come in present the most promising
results.
