LITERARY AND ART ITEMS. • Cricire of - the Press: . • Theire - is a certain •mistrust, characterized by a feeling of soreness ' generally existing be tween the professional writer for the press and the printer. It does not amount to much, and it is somewhat less in the present day than it was in the last generation, because printers print better than they did thirty or forty years ago and writers are less „careless than they were at • that date, Still, the mu tual misgiving is entertained, and is kept alive by the recurrence, more or leg frequent, of "errors of the press," which the writer inva riably attributes to the printer, and the printer does all he - can to lay to the credit of the writer. There arc faults, however, on both tides; though; if we were called upon to de cide where lies the preponderance of blame, we should feel bound greatly to exonerate the printer,, who is rarely chargeable with more than'a tithe - of the_ blunders placed .to his account—we are speaking, of course, of printers who are Printers, and not of the mere proprietors of types and presses, of 'whom, there are too many who have no adequate notion of the printer's function. Errors of the preSs occur to a much larger extent than the reading puolic is generally aware of, and may even be perpetuated through one edition after another for centuries, until the blunder, or the wrong reading, has altogether displaced the right reading, which; through lapse of time and changes in the si gif cation of words, becomes altogether lost. Commentators - know how true this is, and how hopeless is the search after truth in such cases; .Of the wild conjectures sometimes haiarded in this search, some of the modern and so-called amended editions of Shakespeare furnish striking examples. In noticing the various kinds of errors, we may begin with these which are merely verbal, and which, for the most part, are due to the writers, who are apt not only to write illegibly, but to read their proofs carelessly, arid leave errors standing which they ought to correct. Such verbal . blunders are at limes ludicrous enough, as when a writer, in tending to speak of Cato and Brutus, is made to speak of cats and brUtes; or another, as happened the other day, announces the pub lication of a new work"i.n the fOrm of a five shilling elephant," meanies "a five-shilling pamphlet." . _ A long list of blunders of this kind might be enumerated, and not. a far of them have 'become stock jokee, or material for jokes, in the printing office. Some of these are "full blown noses" instead of "full-blown roses;" "he arose and shook off his ears," instead of "shook off his fears;" "horse literature," in stead, of "Norse literature;" "syllabub," in stead of "syllabus;" "omelet,' instead of "amulet," and not a few which, current in the printing-office, need not circulate beyond it. Many of the verbal errors are of- a kind which will escape the ken of the most watch ful reader; because, though they weaken or pervert the sense of the author, .tire . y ,do not * ; ,4t,en: printed "de4ftikfibiicij vepicwoja_ Ten" is sometimes printed "heaven;" and we can recall a critique on a picture where the painter was blamed for his "violet color," in stead of his "violent color." Again, there are verbal errors for which accident - alone is -to blame; thus, in a costly edition of Moore's poems one of the verses begins, "A sense makes, the'heart grow fonder," the b in ab sence having dropped out of the printer's form between the final reading and the Working off. A sirriilar accident accounts for "old jowl" instead of "cold fowl," in the .code. of a dining-house in the city. As samples of errors clearly due to bad writing, we may mention one or two. During the war with Russia au announcement in a Government blue-book, stating that "our ' troops had Marched across Belbee and drawn up in front of the north ports," declared in its first shape that the troops "had marched across the Baltic and drawn up in front of the North Foreland." In another blue-book, a gentleman who subscribed himself as "solici tor to the Douse of Commons" was made to figure as one who jobs about the House of . — Coninions." A - quotation - of - a rather -racy kind being = ascribed to Saha', Lucius, the; printer's reader, doubting its saintly origin,. and knowing no saint 'of that name, was in duced to make researches, which resulted in tle discovery that the words belonged to ,S'ir Lpcius ,('Trigger, one of the bright stars of Blieridan's comedy, Thißie(d.l7 Oddly enough, there are instances hi which verbal errors have a trade value, inasmuch as they serve to identify first impressions of en- I gravings or particular editions of books. llogarth appears to have been a little loose in his orthography, in which, by the way, he was not at all singular in his day. When he first published his print of the "March to Finehley," he dedicated it to George 11.; but thttroyal booby took offence at the innocent _sift 7 aratwould,--had—be-daredi have-visited the painter with his wrath. Hogarth made haste 1,6 obliterate the king's name, and insert that of the King cif,Prussia. In so doing he spelled Prussia. with one .s .(Prusia), and worked off some fifty copies from the Plate before the error was pointed out to. him. Then he corrected it, and the marks of the • correction are traceable on all the subsequent Impressions. But the first impressions were of course the best; being taken before the plate was worn; they have been recognized as such ever since, and to this day an impression of that plate on which the word Prussia is wrongly spelled is worth in the market as much as half a dozen of the others, however excellent they may be. Another instance, well known to bibliopoles, is that of Litti ton's Latin Dictionary: When the doctor • wag printing this huge quarto, he WWI ill- tensely bothered with the Primers, and ha to be constantly going to the office - to•superint 'ad their work. One day, when he happened to be specially badgered, a cpinpositor came to Iliiil-04-11•12.--WfV,tallattg to the proprietor; and,. thrusting a slip of copy nailer his nose, liteW— his attention to the word Condono, to which no English word had been appended, asking, at the same time, how lie shotild till the blank. "Get away with you!" cried the doc tor, in a pet; "condog you, be. off:" The compositor went off, and coolly completed the line thus: "Condon°, V. condog." .This remarkable performance . .was "never challenged by the readers of the proOfs, but went to press without alteration. liver since, that edition of the dictionary has been known among collectors as- the "Condos and for a time bore an extra value, as it was sought after by the curious. One fruitful source of errors are proper names. There are certain names which seem obstinately determine& not to' get themselves' properly spelled. The oldest of them, and therefore the one entitled to precedence, is Pharaoh, whose last and penultimate vowels are forever changing places, and that in the same article and, even in the same page: Another is Shakespear, who figures as Shaks pear, Shakspeare, Shakespeare, Shakespere and Shakspere, and we know not in how many other forms. Burghley, again, is often Burleigh, and sometimes Burley, while his patronymic Cecil has been written variously Cicil, Cycyl, Syssel, Seise], Seycil, Sicell, Sitsill, though some of these forms, it'must be confessed, date fartherhack than the art of printing or settled systems of spelling. _One_would_think that GOthe, who As so much quoted and talked about, to whatever extent he may be read, would be spelled correctly, hitt men of mark in, the literarY world will yet persist in writing and printing Goethe, and Coale. The most notable of all names in this, respect, however, is Brobding nag; which •all the .London printers - 'have seemingly conspired to robot the n in the second syllable; there is ao getting them to relent in this particular, do what you will. Spite of Swift "and all his works," they will have it Brobtlig,nag, and Brohdignag it seems destined to be to the end of the chapter. Among Other instances of words in which a letter is almost invariably dropped are opthalmie for ophthalmic,and Melancthon fore, Melanchtlion. ElTOrg - often occur and pass unnoticed in head-lines, from causes which ordinary readers would never suspect. One cause is the deceptive effect of capitals on the eye that dwells for any length of time on them. If the reader will take up a book in which the same words in capitals stand at the head of the page throughout and read them off at his Usual rate he may find that by the time he tins reached the hundredth page it does not matter to hiin hoW the words are spelled,—the letters have in a manner dropped their function, and he will need to pause a little to recover an intelligent notion of what he is about. Another causeis, that head-lines are apt to get "picked," as the term is, in the printing-otllce,—that is, the lettersin one sheet are taken out temporarily to supply blanks in another, and, when re stored, occasionally slip into the wrong place. A curious source ot- error in the printing office, though it is rarely productive of mis chief, is one that is purely technical. Some time back a proof was sent to the writerwith - a query directing his attention to a note at the foot of a page, to which note there was no reference in the text: The proof was a sheet of a scientific- work of a deceased author, with annotations and additions by a gentleman who, since completing them for the publisher, had sailed. for the East. The words of the suspected note were "Ferguson ends here." Now, Ferguson, the astronomer, had been spoken of m the preceding pages, but what was meant 17.7 thl. oaa—iin,:tosi to him ..iur friend had not the remotest idea. To 1151 th e At, POD w en plain enough; we saw at once that one of the compositors employed on the ; work was also named Ferguson; that he had finished his "taking," or portionmf copy that fell to his share; at the foot of that page, and had made a brief memorandum to that effect, in order to show how much of the work was his. • The 'compositor who had set the notes and "made up" the mat ter into pages, had mistaken this entry for an - editor's note, - and bad treated it accordingly, and' hence the pub lisher's perplexity. .. . __........... x g h as.—Their Looks and A very common error of the presS, and one Th e Isle' o Te oa ir ` Leg s. frequently encountered in the three-volume. ; ma novels with which the reading world' is so ; .

It is impos-, Bible to enjoy art or nature while suffering, from fatigue and cold, dreading the attacks of robbers, and wondering whether you will find lbod and shelter at the end of your day's jour ney. Nor was it different in the Middle Ages.. Then individuals had either no Jeianre from War or strife with the elements,_or. else they devoted themselves to the- • .'2l-; their souls. But when the ideas of the Middle Ages had decayed, when improved arts of life had freed,men from - servile subjection to daily needs, when the bondage of religious. tyranny had -been thrown oft, : and political - liberty allowed the full development of tastes and instincts,when moreover the clas sical traditions had lost their power, and courts and coteries became too narrow for the activity of man-then suddenly it was , discovered that Nature in herself possessed transcendent charms. It may sewn absurd to class them all together;yet there is no doubt that the French Revolution,the criticism ofthe Bible, Pantheistic forms of worship, landscape painting, Alpine traveling, and the poetry of Nature, are all signs of the same move-. ment-of a new Renaissance. Limitations of eveiry sort have been shaken off during the last century, allTormlThave been destroyed, all questions asked. The classical spirit loved to arrange; model, preserve traditions, obey laws. We are intolerant of everything that is not simple, unbiassed by prescription, liberal as the wind, and natural as the moun. Min crawl.. We gole feed this spirit of :free- - dom among the Alps.

Curiosity and the charm of novelty - increases this interest. No towns, no cultivated tracts of Europe, howeVer beautiful, form such a contrast to our London life as Switzerland. Then there is the health and joy that conies from exercise in open air; the senses freshened by good sleep; the blood quickened by .a lighter and rarer atmosphere. Our modes of life, the breaking down of class privileges,the extension of education, which contribute •to make the individual greater and-society less, render. the solitude of mountains refreshing. Facilities of traveling and improved accom modation leave us free to enjoy the natural beauty which we seek. Our minds, too, are prepared to sympathize-with-the:inani mate world; we have learned to look on the universe as a whole, and ourselves as a part Of it, related by close lies of friendship to all its other members. Shelley's, Wordsworth's, Gruhe's poetry has taught us this; we are all more or less Pantheists, worshippers of "God in nature," convinced of the omnipresence of the informing mind. Thus, when•we admire the Alps we are after all but children of the centirry,. We follow io.rtroton blindly, and, while we armir ourselves spontaneva. , 'cestacy, perform the part for which we have b een trained from childhood by the atmospo,,m , in which we live,. It is this very unconscious ness and universality of the impulse we obey which makes it hard to analyze.

The Rev. Gibson, by whom the revolt was instigated, before it came to open war, made his own subinlesion and pets- - suaded the islanders to renew their allegiance. and there was a general amnesty. by tacit consent. Gibson and Larkham are not the only pastors of note and influence in' the his tory of these islands. Twenty -years after them flourishecHhe Rev. john Brock, who.. had such power in prayer as to restore chit- • dren apparently dead, and to . , raise sunken boats from -the ocean.. The details of his achievements are preserved in authentic re cords. It does not appear, however, that he exercised his faith upon dead adults, or any craft larger than a fishing smack. The only houses on this island are the On , nected cluster. called the Appledore House; but there are cellars and walled inclosures of ten or twelve. During the war of 1812 the people were driven from the island by the general government, on suspicion or evidence that they were selling supplies to the British.

The text day I returned and had another sitting of an hour, during which he seemed anxious to know what I should make of my undertaking. While I was painting, the window froM which I received my light be came suddenly darkened, and I heard a voice exclaim, "e troppo MN:" I turned and dis covered a beautiful female stooping down to look in, tit ground on the outside being on a level with the bottom of the window. Her long golden hair hung down about her face and shoulders, her complexion was exquisite, and her smile completed one of the most ro mantic-looking heads,, set off, as it was; by the bright sure_ behind it, which I had ever beheld. Lord Byron invited her to come iu, and introduced her to me as the Countess Guiecieli.

How Couture Painted Wronger's POrtralt—flints to Artists. A charming story of Beranger appears in the book just published. by Couture. Couture prefaces the story with some ex cellent advice to artists. When we remember the hundreds of expressionless: portraits in galleries, we cannot be too thankful to our author for his wise counsel. He says: "There is in nature a phase full of ocharni. It is - the physiognomical side; - these - traits;- the,'7 - • se'r'N:to persens a particular. eliariierer --- Liiteinust be respected, de- • veloped even. Take care not to give to your. portraits - theatrical attitudes,• be simple and modest, for in the pose, in their expression, is the truth of the likeness:" He says that in the first sitting a woman will display to the artist all the beauty of her face, all the graces of her mind, to gain from him the most favorable impression of her person. . "The painter should talk with his model, animate her as much as possible, and guard well against her immobility. To know how to converse with his model is one of the talents of the portrait painter. He must seize upon that which combines all the most salient points of person and character, and then with great rapidity reproduce it upon the canvas." It is in illustration of this idea that Couture relates-theincidentrhis-career-whichovhile exquisite in itself, gives us a sketch of &ran ger; a - portrait aijo - ple trUtilflll ) which could only have been drawn by one great artist of another. With the most unbounded admiration and enthusiasm for Beranger, it had Always .beer the desire .of, Couture, to Make a picture of him from life. - So; One day, armed with a letter of introduction from Madame Sand, he started for the Rue d'Enfer. Arrived at the door, he knocked; an old man appeared, dressed in a gray robe de oho. mizbee. :`We will leave M. Couture to tell the story hi birlin words : " Beranger,?' " am be.' "In answering he held the Cool' but ii.tle way open, "'What do you wish?' "It would have been easy for me to present my letter of introduction, but I had the stupid idea of keeping it. It was a precious auto graph. I murmured some words—showel my paper and crayon. But alas!" my defeat was complete, the door began to close. "No sir,' he said, 'that is disagreeable to me; they have already made my portrait: some of them have succeeded perfectly. Make use of them, and leave me in peace.' "The doorciosed slowly. All was lost. "'I have done, wrong, M. Beranger. should have given yon a letter which I have kept. My vanity was so great that I thought I 'could present myself without support.

Beyond this age had effaced the expressive lines,. and I recog,- nixed with difficulty the Beranger known m the portraits. My task had become painful. To paint the face which I saw before me, to give to the public the image-of an intelligence nearly extinct, was not what I wished. But what could I do ? I was in the midst of these reflections when he awoke. I lOoked ,at him, steadily for some time, and I saw that his upper eyelids continually rose and fell upon the eyes. What was to be done? If the flesh had yet retained its force ! But no, as with old draperies formless by use, so these always took various forms. In the other .. partsg the face the same depreSsion, the same kritss rolled helplessly over each other. I telt that I was lost. ButthiS would never do. We must not despair.

" `No,' he replied, 'some persons came to my house to sin , r ° it to me; there were several of them; they had, they said, a piano in a carriage. As I had chosen the air myself, and as I doubt that any one can choose better than I, I do not wish to encourage these en croachments upon my work. The fact was I did not wish to receive.these people.' " know your way of not receiving peo ple.

Thih one old series of inertsurcs pasred by Con „res.: during; the In A fon r months on the subject or reconstruction. The message returning the act of the . .!d. of March laSt status at lengla my objections to the pass,we of that measure; they iriy equally well to the bill LW W before me, and I am content merely to refer to them, and to reiterate my conviction tiea they "are 'sound and unanswerable. There are some points peculiar to this bill which I will proceed at 011ee Iff CeiLlhider. • ” • The first section purport. .to deelars, the true latent and meaning, in some particulars, of the Trior acts Upon this subject. It is declared that the intent of those acts wag, first,- "That the ex isting governments in the ten rebel States" were not legal State governments; and second, "That thereafter said' governments, if dontinued, were to be continued subjects in all respects to the military commanders of the, respective districts rind to the paramount authority of Congress." Congress may, by a declaratory act, fix upon an act a construction altogether at variance with its apparent meaning,and from the time at least when such construction Is fixed the original act will be •construed to mean exactly what it Is stated to thean by the declarattiry statute.., There will be, then. tram the time this hill may become a law. no doubt, no question as to the relation in which the existing goveruruents lu those States, called in the original act the "prOvi4onal govern tuents," stand towards the military authority. As their' relations stood before the declaratory •aet, these "governments," It Is _truewere_matle bj , suect to absolute military authority in many important respects, but trot in all the language •of the act being `'subject to the military authority of the United States as hereinafter presented." by the sixth section of the original act these governments were made "in all resyeets subject to the paramount authority of the C tilted States." Now. he this declaratory act,it appears that Con gtesa did licit': by the trrightai - act, the military authority to any particulars or sub ject.- therein "prescribed, - but meant to make it uniLersal. Thus, aver all these ten States, this military government is now declared to have un limitea authority. It' is. no longer confined to the preservation of the public peace, the adminis tration of criminal law. the registration of voters, and the superintendence of elections, but in all respe( ts is asserted to be paramount to the ex isting cii it governments. It ,is itnpossi ble to conceive , any state Of, society more intolerable than this, and yet•it is - to thiS coii diriou that twilve millions of American citizens at: reduced by the Congress of the United States. Over even - foot of the immense territory occu pied by these American citizens, the Constitution of imUnited States theoretically is in full opera tion. It binds all the people there. and should protect them: yet they.are denied every one of its sacred guarantees. Of what avail will it be to any one of these southern people, when seized by a tile of s oldiers, to ask for the cause of arrest or for the production of the warrant? Of what as ail to ask fur the privilege of bail when in I/Wit:lry custody, which knows no such thing as Of what avail to demand a trial by jury, procNs for witnesses, it coov of the indictment, the privilege of counsel, or that greater privilege, the wirit of habeas corp,?. , ! The veto of the original bill of the 2.d of March ' , was based or. two.distinct grounds. "the inter,- 'femme Of Congress)n madys stiltaly appertain ro the reserved powers - o the - States - , - and the estabiialiment of military tribunals for the trial of citizens in the time of peace." The iMpartial reader of that message will understand that all it .contains with respect to military despotism and martial law has reference especially to the fearful )ower conferred on the district commanders to displace the criminal courts and abd s diction to try and to punish by military boards: that potentially the n suspension of - the habeas corpus was martial law and Tliiiit:ArV despotism. The act now before me not only declares that the Intent was to confer such military authority, but also to confer un limited military- authority over all the other =courts of the State. and over all the officers of the State. legislative, - executive and judicial. Sot content with the general grant of power. Con gress In the second section of this bill specifically gives to end' military commander the power to —suspend or remove from office. or from the per fhrm_,ncc of official duties and the exercise of official power. any oflie , T or person holding or exercising. or professing to hold or exercise any civil or military office or duty in such district under any power, election, appointment or authority derived from or 'granted by or claimed under any so-called - State, or the government thereof. or any municipal Or utLter division thereol.•' A power • [Lai hii,.irto all the departments of the lederal Government, acting iu eonerrt or s.2parately, hal e not dated to exercise. is here attempted to (:01;t:1 red on a 611 k traillale Military Onkel% .v a military officer of the Feleral 4;10.1 11.:111!!:1. t.s :aver the powa.r. supported by saffieleet military ffirce. - to remove every civil ode cr of the :State.

(Mal • a If.af islator or a judg4. However unfit he may deem itinerelf for such cr it duties. he must obey the order. The officer of the finny must, if detailed, go upon the *supreme !midi of the State with the S.:11110 prompt obediehee as If he were detailed to go upon a court-martial. The soldier. if detailed to act as a justice of the peace, amt obey a, quickly as if he were detailed for picket' duty. What is the chari:eter of such a military-civil officer? This bill deelarfo that he shallperform the duties of the civil office to which he is detailed. It is clear. however, that he does not lose his posi tion in the military service. Be is still an officer Ur soldier of the army. He is still subject to the rule, and regulations which govern it, and must yield due deference, respect, and obedience towards his superiors. The clear intent of this section is that the officer or soldier detailed to fill It civil office, must execute. its dit ties according to the laws of the State. If he is appointed a Governor of a State he is to execute the duties as provided by the laws of that State, and for the time being his military character is to be f•uspeuded in his new civil capacity. If he is appointed a State Treasurer he must at once as sume the custody and disbursethent of the funds of the State. and must perform these dutifis pre cisely according to the laws of the State, for he is entrusted with no other official duty - or official power. Holding the office of treasurer, and entrusted with funds, it happens that he is required by the State laws to enter into bond with security, and to take an oath of office: yet from the beginning of the bill to the end there is no provision for any bond or oath of office, or for any single qualification required under the State law, residenqr, *citizenship or anything else. The only oath is that provided for in the ninth section, 'by the terms of which every one detailed or appointed to any civil office in the State is required "to take and to subscribe the oath of office prescribed by law for the officers of the United States." Thus an officer of the army of the United States, de tailed to till a civil office in- one of these States, gives no• official bond and takes no official oath . tor the performance/of his new duties, but as a civil officer of a State, only takes the same oath Which - he - had - already - takernts - althillotry - officer of the United States. He is at last a military officer performing civil duties, and the authority uthier which he acts is Federal authority only, and the inevitable result is that the Federal gov .ernment by the agency - of its - own swornoffieers.in v fleet, assumes the civil governthent of the State. A singular contradiction is apparent here. Con gress declares these local State governments to be illegal governments, and then provides that the illegal governments are to be carried on by Federal officers, who are to - perform the very dit ties imposed on its own officers by this illegal -State authority. -It would be a novel spectacle If Congress Shotild atteinp - Ito carry on a legal State government by the agency of its officers. 'lt, is yet more strange that Congress attempts to sus tain and carry on an illegal State government by .the same :Federal agency. In this connection, I must call attention to the tenth and eleventh sections of the bill, which pro vide .that none of the officers or appointees of these military commanders "shall be bound in their action by any opinion of any civil officer of die United States. and that all the-provisionsof tile act shall ho ionstruedlllrerally ; :"...to. the end- Chat ;Ili in:yids thereof 'link - be tUlly• iffid per icetly cirri out It Kk:CIM Congress sUpposed that this bill Wight require construction, and they therefore, the rule to be applied. But where is the construction to come from ? Certainly no one C:!1 - 1 be more in want or lIISINIOIOII than a soldier or officer of the army detailed fora civil service, perhaps the most important lb a State, with the ditties of which he is altogether un familiar. Ilk hin says he shall not be bound in his action by the opinion of any civil officer of the United States. The duties 011ie office arc altogether civil, but 1% hen he asks for an opinion he can only ask the opinion of another military officer, who perhaps illderstands as little of his duties as he does him- Self: and as to his "action." be is answerable -to the military authority.. and the military autho ritifone. Strictly. • no opinion of any civil" officer, other.thsiva judge. has a ,binding force: but . theike inilitap" appointees would dot be bound, even judicial opinion: They might very Well say. even when their action ,s in con flict with the Supreme Court of the United States. "that Court is composed of civil officers of the United States, and , we are not bound to conform our action I to any Opinion of any such authority." This bill, and the acts to which it is supplementary, are all ' founded upon the assumption that these ten communities are not States", and that their exist ing governments are not legal. Throughout the legislation upon this subject, they are called rebel States. Anti in this particular bill they arc de-; nominated "so-called States," and the.vice of il legality is declared to pervade all of them. The obligations of consistency bind a legislative body as well as the individuals who compose it. It is now too late to say that these ten political coin niunities are not States Of the Union. Declarations to the contrary in these acts are—con tradieteAl—again—and—tigalia—bys-r puted acts of legislation enacted by Congress irons the year 1861 to the year 1867. During that period, whilst these States were in actual rebel lion, and after that rebellion was brought to a close, they have been again and again recognized as States of the Union. Representation has been apportioned to them as States. They have been divided into judicial districts for the holding of "distrust and eireuiteoUrti" Of the United States, and States of the Union can only be districted. The last act on this subject was passed July 23. 1866, by which every one of "these ten States was arranged into districts and cir cuits: they have been called upon by Congress to act through their Legislatures upon at least two amendments to the Constitution of the United States : as States they have ratified one amendment, which required the vote of twenty se; en States of the thirty-six composing the Union. When the requisite twenty-seven votes were 4iven in tut or of that amendment, seven of which Votes were given by seven of these ten States. It was proclaimed to be a part of the Con stitution of the United States, and slavery .was declared no longer to exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. • It these seven States were not legal States of the Union. it follows, as an inevitable consequence, that slavery yet exists. It does not exist in these st:ven Stales, for they have abolished it also in their own State Constitutions,, but Kentucky not having donesso, it would still remain in that State. But, in truth, if this assumption that these States have noAlegal State governments be true, then the abolition of slavery by these illegal governments binds no one, -• for Congress now denies to these States the power to abolish slavery by denying to them the power to elect a legal State Legislature, or to frame a constitution for any purpose, even for such a purpose as abolition 0I slavery. . . As to - the other constitutional amendment; having reference to suffrage, it happens that these States have not accepted it. The conse quence is thatit has never been proclaimed or understood even by Congress to be a part of the Constitution of the United States. The Senate of the United States has repeatedly given its et4on-to—the-appointment-oLjudges,dis ' attorneys and marshals for every one of these States, and yet, if: they are not legal States, not one of these judges is authorized to hold a court. So, too, both houses of Congress have passed ap propriation bills to pay all these jai es, attor neys and officers of the United States'qor exer cising their functions in these States. Again, in the machinery of the internal revenue laws all these States arc districted not as territories, but as States. So much for continuous legislative recognition. The instances cited, however, fall far short of all that might be enumerated. Execu tive recognition, as is well known, has been frc .ment and unwavering. The same may be said as to judicial recognition through the Supreme Court 01 the United States. That august tribunal, from first to last, in the administration of its duties in bane and upon the circuit, has Dever failed to recognize these ten communities as legal 'States of the Union. The cases depending in that court upon aHwal and writ of error from these States when the rebellion began, have not been dismissed upon any idea of the cessation of jurisdiction.' '1 hey werc l earefully continued from term to term nritci the rebellion was entirely sul dried and peace lc-established, and then they were called 'tor argument and consideration. tts if no insur reetion had intervened. New cases oecurring since the rebellion have come from these Mates before that court by writ of error and appeal.and even by original suit where only a State can bring stn It a suit. These cases arc entertained by that tril mnalan the exercise of its aeknov, ledged joris dietioh, which could not attach to them it they had come from any political body other than a State of the Union. Finally, in the allotment of their circuits made by the jtidges at the December term, lerti. every one of these States is put on the same footing of Irgality with all the, other States of the town. Vir7inia and North Carolina being a part )1 . the the fourth circuit. are allotted to the Chief ;Jus tice. South Carolina, Georgia. Alabama. Mis-ls sippiandllorida eonstim tingt he fifth eircuitovere allotted it, the late Mr. Justice Wayne. Louisi ana, Arkansas and- Texas , are allotted to the sixth judicial circuit, :as -to which there a vacancy on the bench. The Chief Justice, in the exercise of his eireuiLdutieS, has recently held a Circuit Courtin the State of North Carolina. If North Carolina is not a State of this UniOn, the Chief Justice had no authority to hold a court there, and every order, judgment amt a deeree ren dered by him in that court were and .judire. Another ground on which these reconstruction atits are attempted to be sustained is this: that these ten States are conquered territory; that the constitutional relation in which they stood as states towards the Federal government prior to the rebellion, has given place to new relation; that their territory is a conquered country, and their citizens (a conquered people, and that in this new relation Congress can govern them by military power. A title by conquest stands on clear ground; it is a new title acquired by war. It applies only to territory, for goods and move able things regularly captured in war are called "MN - Ay," or if taken by individual . soldiers, "plunder." There is not a foot of the land in any one of these ten States which the United States holds by conquest, save only such land as did not belong to either of these States or to any indi vidual owner. I mean such lands as did not be long to the pretended government called the Con federate States. These lands we may claim to hold by conquest; as to all other land or territory, whether belonging to the StaMs or individhals, the Federal Government has now no More title . or right to it than it had before the rebellion. Oar own forts, arsenals, navy-yards, custom-houses and other Federal property situate in those States we now bold, not by the title of eon - quest, but by our old title—acquired by purchase or condemnation to ptiblic use, with compensation to former owners. We have not conquered these _places,but have simply . "repossesscd" them If we iitirrtAnizire --- sites - Abr — forts; — etiStetrit - -tionses, or any other public use, we must acquire the title to them by purchase or appropriation in the regular mode. At this moment the United States, in the acquisition of sites for national cemeteries in these States, acquires , title in the same way. The Federal courts sit in court-houses owned or leased by the United States, not in the court houses of the States. The ' tnitcd States bays each of these States for. the use of its jails. Finally, the United States levies its direct taxes . and its internal revenue upon the property in these States, includingt the productions of the lands within their territorial limits, not by way of levy and contribution in the character of a conqueror, but in the regular way of taxation, under the same laws - which apply to all the other States of the Union.

In I must.-tespectfidly ask the a t. tention - 01Cooim•!-A to Mi. tutiSide•rat!tmi of 0116 more question arising t ndcr this bill: It vests in the military comthailer, 'subject only to the ap proval of the General of the Army of the United States, an unlimited power to remove-from office any civil or military officer in each of these ted States, and the further power, subject to the same approval , to detail orappoint any military officer or soldier of the United States "to - perform the duties of the officer so removed. and to fill all vacat.cies occurring in these States by death, re signation, or otherwise. The 'military appointee thus rtiquired to perform the dutieS of a civil of ficer. according to the laws 'of' the State, and as such required to take an oath, is for the time being a civil officer.

The power of appointment of all officers of the United States,-civil or mili tary, where not provided for in the Constitution, is vested in the President, by and with the adviee' and consent of the' Senate, with this exception: that "Congress may, by law, vest the appointment of such inferior OttieCt6 as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments." But thia bill, if these are to be considered inferior officers within the meaning of the Constitution, does not provide for their appointment by the President alone, or by the courts of law, or by the heads of departments, but vests the appoints went in one subordinate executive officer, sub jcct to the approval of - another subordinate ex , eautive officer; so that if we put this question, --and-fix-thmeharaeter of - thit - military - appolnteed either way this provision of the bill is equally op po-,ed to the. Constitution. Take the case of a soldier or officer apPointed to perform the office of judge in one of these States, and as such to administer the proper laws of the State—where is the authority to be found in the Constitution for vesting in a military or an executive officer strict judicial functions to be exereNtd. tindVir - StitteTaW: It has been again arid again decided by the Supreme Court of the 'United States that acts of Congress which have attempted to vest executive power in the judicial courts or judges of the United States arc not warranted.by the Constitution. If Congress cannot clothe a judge with merely executive duties, how can they clothe au officer or soldier Mlle army with judicial duties over citizens of the United States, who are not in the military or naval services? So, too, it has been repeatedly decided that Congress cannot requirtf a State officer, execu tive or judicial. to perform any duty enjoined upon him by a law of the United States. Itow., then, can Congress confer power upon en execu• tive officer of the United States to perform such. duties in a State? If Congress could not vest in a judge of one of these States any judicial -au- Monty under the United StateS by direct enact ment, how can it accomplish the same thing Indirectly by removing the State judge, and putting an officer of the United States in his place To me these considerations arc conclusive of the unconstitutionality of the part of the bill now before me, and I earnestly commend their eon sideralion to the deliberate judgment of Con- Within a period less than a year the legislation of Congress bas attempted to strip the executive department of the government of some of its es sential powers. _ - The Constitution..and the oath provided in it,: devolves upon the President the power and duty, to see that the laws are faithfully executed. The Constitution, in order to carry out this power. gives him the Choice of the agents, and makes' tots subject to his control and supervision, but in the execution of these laws the constitutional ; , -stion upon the Presillent remains.• but the power to exercise that constitutional duty is ef lectu'ally taken away. The , military commander is. as to the power of appointment, in:Melo take the place of,the President, and the General of the army the place of the Senate, and any attempt on the part of the President to- assert his own con stitutional power may, under pretence of law, be met by official insubordination,. it is to be feared that these military offesers, lo4;sitig to the authority given by these. rather than to the letter of the Constitution, will reeog- adze no authority but the commander of the dis trict and the general of - the army. If there were no other objeetion than this to this proposed legislation, it would be sufficient. Whilst I hold the chief executive authority of the United States. whilst the obligation rests unPh we to see that all the laws are faithfully executed. I earl never willimrly- surrender that trust. Or tin. powers given for its execution. I can never ‘,..,•,i\e my assent to I.e made responsible for the faithful. ext cation of laws.and at the sfune time surrender Iliat Inlet, and the powers which aecompany it. to any other cxecutave officer. high or low, or to tlilV number of executive officers. If this executive trust, vested by the Courlim lion in the President, is to be taken from ilium and inverted in a subordinate officer, the responsi bility will be with Congress, in clothin4 th subordinate with unconstitutional power, ;aid with the officer who assumes it , evercise. The interference with the constitutional authority of ° lto. Executive Department is an evil that wilt inevitably -ap the foundations of our federal but it is not the worst evil of this legislation. It is a* great public wrong to take front the pf!werr epnli•lred Oil ttie onstitution. But the wrong fliv:rant and more Luterons when thc - powers -o taken - from the President am eOldi !yell noon subordinate (!Neellti VC, oilles.rs. and especially upon military officers.

The remedy must come from the people themselves. They know what it how it is to be applied. At the present Liam they cannot: according to the forms of the Con tiintion, repeal these laws. They cannot re mot, e or control this Military despotism. The remedy is nevertheless in their hands. It is to iound in the ballot, and is a sure one if mint coil trolled by.„fraud, overawed by arbitrary power, or front apathy on their part too long delayed.
