denial of The elective franchise to any
male citizen of the United States, by any
State, on account of oolcir or race, any
thing in the Constitution or laws of any
State to th'e oontfary notolithatanding.--
The Senate then proceeded to consider
the supplementary reconstruction bill and
the President's veto thereon. The bill
was passed over the veto by a •vote of 39
to 7.
In the House the bill passed over the
veto 114 to 25, and becomes a law.
March 25.—1 n the Senate a memorial
was presented from the Union League of
Maryland, , asking , that the provisions of
the military reconstruction bill be exten
ded to Maryland.
March 26.—1 n the Senate Mr. Sumner
introduced A bill to secure the elective
franchiso.to negro citizens in every State,
all laws or State Constitutions to the con
trary notwithstanding.
In the'Honse Mr. Butler of Massachu
setts called the attention of the House to
the fact that Mr. Bingham had altered
and materially changed the globe repor
ter's manuscript of the personal debate
between them last week. He character
ized this proceeding as unfair, and in de
fense of his own assertion that Mrs. Sur
ratt was hung without sufficient evidence,
he charged that Booth's diary, which
showed all his movements preparatory to
the assassination, was kept from the
knowledge of the Court by Mr. Bingham,
and that eighteen pages had been cut out
after it got into the. hands of the govern
ment; and that if those missing leaves
bad been
.produced, Mrs. Surratt could
not have been convicted.
Mr. Bingham (Republican) replied, de
claring that the charge was a calumny,
and be defied the author of it. He de
nied all knowledge of the spoliation of
the diary, and defended his refusal to put
it in evidence. Ho asserted that the
Judge Advocate General (Holt). and not
be, controlled the evidence in the court.
He declared that the assault was one of
heartless maliciousness, and only fit to
come from a man who " lives in a bottle
and is fed with a spoon."
• Mr. Butler tried to make a brief expla
nation, but objection was made.
Mr. Ward asked leave to offer a resolu
tion directing the Judiciary Committee
to inquire into the charge made by Mr.
Butler that Mrs. Surratt was improperly
convicted. Objection was made, and the
Souse refused to suspend the rules.
March 27.—1 n the House a joint reso
lution was introdneed proposing an
amendment to the Constitution providing
for negro suffrage in all the States.
March 29.—1 n the Senate the joint res
olution for the reconstruction of the Mis
sissippi levees, was called up. Mr. Sum
ner moved an amendment providing that
no appropriations should be made for such
, purposes tintil the States protected by the
levees shall be reconstriicted on the basis
of negto suffrage and schools without dis
tinction of color.
Mr. Edmunds offered a resolution that
the houses adjourn at noon on Saturday,
until the first Wednesday in July, when,
unless 4 quorum of each House shall be
present, they shall adjourn to December.
Debate arose, in the,eourse of which Mr.
Dixon. asked whether - Mr. Sumner and
Mr. Wilson meant . to pass a law to en
force' negro suffrage in Connecticut. Mr.
Sumner replied, certainly he did. After
further discussion, Mr. Edmunds' propo
sition was adopted—yeas 28, nays ler.'
In the House the Senate re - Solution to
adjourn on Saturday was adopted, - 53 to

Fifty Crippled Soldiers Rejected by the
Senate.
Tile , Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial {Republican) says
that since the first of December the Uni
ted States Senate has rejected for civil
positions more than fifty soldiers, wound

country. Add to these rejected, also, the
names .of hundreds of soldiers who for
gallant services were tendered positions
by the President, and -we find how utter

for soldiers by radical leaders.

IlMitary Bill.
To the House of Representatizits
‘'
I have considered the bill, entitled "An
act supplementary to an act entitled 'An
act to provide for the more efficient goir
ernment of the rebel States," passed
March 2, 18137, and to facilitate restora
tion," and now return it to the House of
Representatives, with my objections.
This bill
_proxides fur elections in
,the
ten States brought .under, the operation
of the, original act to which it is supple-
Jnentary. Its„det,i,ki.ls_ are principally di
ected r6 - the elections for the formation
of the State constitutions, but by the sixth
section of the bill "all elections" in those
States occurring whileithe original act re
mains in force, are brought within its pur
view.
'Referring to the details, it will be found
that, first of all, there is to be a registra
tion of the voters. No one whose natno
has not been admitted upon the li'st is to
be allowed to vote at any of these elec
tions. -To ascertain who is entitled to
registration; reference is made necessary
by the express language of the supplement;
to the 'original act and to the pending
bill. The fifth section of the original
act provides, as to voters, that they shall
be "male citizens of the State, twenty one
years old and upward, of whatever race,
color, or previous condition, who have
been resident of said State for one year."
This is the general qualification, folio wed,
however, by many exceptions. No one
can be registered, according to the origi
nal act, " who may be disfranchised for
participation in the rebellion, a provision
which left, undetermined the question as to
what amounted to disfranchisement, and
whether, without a judicial sentence, the
act itself produced that effect.
This supplemental bilfsuperadds an oath
to be taken by every person before his
name canl,be admitted upon the registra
tion, thatlie has " not been disfranchised
for participation in any rebellion or civil
war against the United States." It thus
imposes upon every person the necessity
and responsibility of deciding for himself,
under the peril of pnuishment by a mili
tary commission, if he makes a mistake,
whhat works disfranchisement by partici
pation in rebellion, and what amounts to
such participation. Almost every man—
the negro as well as the white—above '2l
years of age, who was resident in these
ten States during the rebellion, volunta
rily or involuntarily, at some time and in
some way A did participate in resistance to
the lawful authority of the General Gov
ernment.
The question with the citizen to Whom
this oath is to be proposed must be a fear
ful one; for, while the bill does net de-•
Clare that perjury may be assigned for
such false swearing, nor fix any penalty
for the offense, we must not forget that
martial law prevails, that every person is
answerable to a military commis ion,
without previous presentment by a grand
jury, for any charge that mny be made
against him; and that the supreme author
ity of the inilitaryeamrnander determines
the question as to what is an offence, and
what is to be the measure of punishment.
Tho fourth section of the bill pro% ides
"that the commanding general of each
district shall appoint as many boards of
registration as may be necessary, consis
ting of three loyal of/jeers or persons."
The only onalification stated for
ficers is, that they must be llyal." Tm:y
may be persons in the military service or
civilians, residents of the State or stran
gers. Yet these persons are to exercise
most important duties, and are vested
with unlimited discretion. They are to
decide what names shall be placed upon
the register, and from their decision there
is to benb appeal. They arc to sir,),,rin
tend the elections; and to decide all ques
tions which may arise. They are to have
the custody of the ballots, and to make
return of the persons elected. Whatev
er frauds or errors they may commit
must pass without redress. .A l l that is
left for the commanding general is to re
ceive the returns of the elections, open
the same, and ascertain who are chosen
"according to the returns of the officers
who conducted said elections." By such
.sneane, and with this sort of agency, are
the conventions of delegates to be consti
tuted.
As the delegates' are to speak for tho
people, common justice would seem to re
quire that they should have authority from
the-people themselves. No convention
so constituted will in any sense represent
the wishes of the inhabitants of these
states; for, under the ell embracing excep
tions of these laws, by a construction
which the uncertainty of the clause as to
disfrancisement leaves open to the board
of officers, the great body of the people
may be excluded from the polls, and from
all opportunity of expressing their own
wishes, or voting for delegates who will
faithfully reflect their sentiments.
I do not deem it necessary fnrther to
investigate the details of this bill. No
consideration could induce me to give my
approval to such'an election law for any
purpose, and especially for the great pur
pose of framing the constitution of a state.
If ever the American citizen should be
left to the free exercise of his own judg
ment, it is when he is engaged in the wor k
of forming the fundamental law under
which he is to live. That. work is his
work, and it cannot properly be taken out_
of his hands. All this legislation proceeds
upon the contrary assumption that the
people of each of these states shall have
no constitution, except such as may be ar
bitrarily dictated by Congress, and form•
ed tinder the restraint of military rule. A
plain — striternint facts - makes this evi
dent.
In all these States there are existing
constitutioris, foruaed in the accustomed
way by the people. Congress, however,
declares that these constitutions are not
"loyal and republican," and . .,reqpires the
pbeipre — Teribriirtliefirittie h t', - th
in the opinion of Congress, is necessary to
make the , Constitution..of a State
and. republican ?" The original act an
swers the question: It is universal negro
snfrrage7--a question which Federal Con
stitution leaves to the States themselves.
All this legislative machinery of martial
law, military coercion, and political dis
fraitchisement is avowedly fur that pur
pose, and none other. The existing Con
stitutions of the ten.states conform to_ the
aclinowledged standards of loyalty and
republicanism. Indeed, if there are de•
grces in republican forms of government,
their constitutions are more republican
now than when these States—four of
which were members of the original thir
teen—first became members of to Union.
Congress dues not now demand that a
single provision of their constitutions be
changed, except such as confine suffrage
to the white population. It is apparent,
therefore, that these provisions do not
conform to the standard of republicanism
which Congrees seeks to establish. That
there may be no mistake, it is only neces
sary that reference should be made to the
original act, which declares, " such con
stitution shall provide that the elective
franchise shall be enjoyed by all such per
sons as have the qualifications herein ata
tud for electors or delegates." What
class of persons is hero meant clearly ap
pc ars in the same section. That is to
say: " the male citizens of said state
twenty one years old and upwards, of
whatever race, color or previous condi
tion, who bare been residents in said
state for ono year previous to the day of
such election."
Without these provisions no constitu
tion which can be framed in any one of
the ten states will be of any avail with
Congress. This, then, is the test of what
the constitution of a state of this Union
must contain to make it republican. Meas
ured by such a standard, how few of the
states now• composing the Union have re
publican constitutions I If, in the exer
chic of the constitutional guaranty that
Congress shall secure to every state a re
publican form of government, universal suf
frage for blacks as well as whites is a sine
qua non, the work of reconstruction may
as well begin in Ohio as in Virginia, in
Pennsylvania as in North Carolina.
When I contemplate the millions of our
fellow citizens of the South, with no alter
native left but to impose upon themselves
this fearful and untried experiment of
complete negro enfranchisement and white
disfranchisement—it may be almost as
complete—or submit indefinite}y to the
rigor of martial law, without a single at
tribute of freemen, deprived of all the sa
cred guaranties of our Federal Constitu
tion, and threatened with even worse
wrongs, if any worse are possible, it seem i s
to me their condition is the most deplora
ble to which any people can be reduced.
It is true that they have been engaged in
rebeliion,aud that, their object being a
scrar.vion of the States and a dissolution
c f the Union, there was an obligation res
ting upon every loyal citizen to treat them
as enemies, and to wage war against their
Cause.
Inflexibly opposed to any movement
imperilling the integrity of the Govern
ment, I did not hesitate to urge the adop
tion of all measures necessary for the sup
pression of the insurrection. After a long
and terrihie struggle the efforts of the
Geverninent were triumpirantly successful
and the peo:de of the south, submittin7
to the stern arbitrament, yielded forever
the issues of the contest. Hostilities ter
minated soon after it became my duty to
assume the responsibilities of the Chief
executive oEticer of the republic, and I at
once endeavored to repress and control
the passi.,ns which our civil st rife had en
gendered, and, no longer re.4arding these
erring millions as enemies, again aeircnowl
edged them as -our friends and onr coun•
trynten. The war has accompli , bed its
objects. The nation was saved, and - that
seminal principles of mischief which, from
the birth of the Government, bad gradu
ally but inevitably brought on the rebell
ion was totally eradicated. Then it. seem
ed to me was the anspicious time to com
mence the work of reconciliation; then,
when the people sought once more our
friendship and protection, I considered it
our duty generously to meet them in the
spirit of charity and forgiveness, and to
conquer them even more effectually by
the magnanimity of the nation than by the
force of its arms. I yet believe that if
the policy of reconciliation then inaugu
rated, and which contemplated an early
restoration of these people to all their
political rights had received the support
of Congress, every °neer these ten states,
and all their people, would at this mo
ment be fast anchored in the Union, and
the great work which gave the war all
its sanction, and made it just and holy,
would have been accomplished. Then,
over all the vast and fruitful regions of
tile south peace and its blessings would
have prevailed, while now millions are
deprived of rights guaranteed by the
Constitution to every citizen, and nearly
after two years of legislation, find them
selves placed under an absolute military
despotism. " A military republic, s Gov
ernment formed On mock elections, and
supported only by the sword," was near
ly a quarter of A century since pronounc
ed by Daniel Webster, when speaking of
the South American states, as " a move
ment indeed, but a retrograde and disas
trous movepent, from the regular and
old fashioned monarchical system and
he added :
" If men should enjoy the blessings of
republican government, they must gov•
ern themselves•b reason, by mutual coin
ad and consultation,- by a sense and feel
ing of general interest, and by the acqui
escence of-the minority: in • the will of the
majority, properly expressed; and -above
all, the military must be kept, according
to the isogon, of our bill of rights, in
strict subordituttiOn to the civil authority.
Wherever this lessbn is'riot both learned
and practised, there can be no political
freedom. Absurd, preposterous is it, a
scoff ands satire ort free forms of consti
tutional liberty, for-fonts of government
to be *Scribed by' military leaders, and
the right of suffrage to be exercised at
the point of the sword."
I confidently believe that a time wil
come when these States will again occupy
their true positions in the Union. The
_barriers .which-,now seem so obstinate
must yield to the force of an enlightened
and just public opinion, and sooner or la
ter unconstitutional and - oppressive legis
tion will be effaced from our statute
books. When this shall have been:con
summated, I pray God that the errors
of the past may beforgetten, and that. once
more we shall be a happy, united and
prosperous people, and that, at last, after
the bitter sod eventful experience thro'
which the nation has passed, we shall all
come to know that our only safety is in
the preservation of bur Federal constitu
tion, and in according to every American
Citizen and to every State the rights which
that Constitution secures.

Washington, March 23, 1867.
The Radicals' Love for Soldiers.
We commend the following, clipped
from that sterling paper, the Lebanon
Advertiser, to the careful consideration
of the soldiers who still adhere to and be
llove in the affection expressed for them
by the raOals:
John IN • lark, enlisted a company for
the 9Sd I . V.; entered the service as a
Captain; served during the first years of
the war on the Potomac and on the Pen
insula; was promoted to Major, Lett.
Col. and Colonel, and nes severely woun
ded ill battle. On Fi iday last ht. was a
candidate on the Republican ticket of this
borough for toww Councilman. Although
the majority of his party in town is over
100, his political triends aided in the elec
tion of his opponent,—detenting Col. Mark
by 71 rotes. That's love for the soldiers.
George H. Uhler served during the
greater part of the war, except when laid
up by severe wounds received in battle.
He is a staunch republican, officiating fre
quently as one of the officers of their po
litical gatherings. Ho was last week
placed on their ticket for Arisesior of the
West Ward, and defeated brie votes.
They do so love the soldiers, and will
build monuments for them. Wetrust the
soldiers will soon see that the blatherski
ting abolitionists are only their friends for
their votes.
Sohn D. Brua served long and faithful
ly during the war; was dangerously
wounded, and, on Friday last his particu
lar and political friends allowed and as
sisted to defeat him by the unprecedented
majority of 79 votes in the West Ward,
for constable, by John R. Young. That
tco, after they had coaxed him on the
ticket. The object of his defeat by the
republicans was to get him out of the way
for a count v
—fly a recent resolution of Congress,
men who were drafted, and paid $3OO for
exemption, and who were subsequently
drafted again, and entered the service, or
furnished a substitute, aro now entitled
to receive back the $3OO paid.
—On Wednesday Congress appropria
ted 50, , 0,000 dollars to carry out the mili•
t:t , y despotism bill. It will require near
ly that many millions before we are done
with it, besides the loss of liberty to the
people.
—A snit was tried at Binghamton, N.
Y., last week, itt which a lady brou7ht an
action for assault and battery against a
young man, the accusation being that he
kissed her whiie occupying the same seat
in a railroad ear, she being asleep at the
time, with her head resting upon his shoull
.der. The jury failed to agree.
--An "excliant - re," in allusion to a Con
gressional controversy, says of the par
ties, "The one stands proclaimed in the
forum of the people as the murderer of
an innocent woman: the other as a cow
ard and a knave. A little more grape."
—The Detroit Free Presi thus sug
gests to the radicals a " literary ticket,"
composed of Zachnriah Chandler for pres

Chandler's sins against grammar arc fla
