Tbe set to establish a bureau for the rciief of tho f.-eedmeu and ? refus?es, wttioh was app-ovedof in (faemunt h of M??rcb last, has not yet been repealed, lt was thijv_.li!; stringent and extensive enough for tiiO purple in view.

The bill proposes to establish, by law of Congress, military jurisdiction ov*r ail parts of the United States containing refugees :::;d freedmen. It would, by its very nature; :tpply with most force to those paris bf the luiiied States in which tho freedmen most abound, and it expressly extends the existing temporary jurisdiction of thc Freedmen's Bureau, wita groat ly enlarged powers, over those StatC3 in which tjie ordinary couiseol judicial proceedings has been interrupted by tin*, rebellion. The source from whieb tlii? military juris diction is to emanate is none other than the President of the United States, peting through the War Department zzi the Commissioner - of the Freedmen's Bi:rein. The agents to carry out this military jurisdiction are to be selected either from the anny ?jr from civil lite. Thc country ?3 to bo- divided into dis -tricts and sub districts, and the number of I salaried agents to be employed may be equal to thc number of countios or parishes ia all of the United States, where freedmen and refugees are to be found. The subjects over whom this military jurisdiction is to extend in every part of tee United States include particularly all employes, agents, and officers of lliis bureau in tbo exercise of thc duties imaoscd on them by ?be bill. Io cbivou Stat s it is farther to extend over all cases affecting the freedmen and refugees discrimi nated against by local livers, customs, or pre judice- in those eleven States. Tue b'.l subjects any white person who mvy be cl a*ged with depriving a freedman of any civil rights or immunities belonging to a whiie person, t J imprisonment or noe, or j both, without, however, defining the civil rights and immunities which ate thus to be secured to the freedman by military law. . Tiiia military jurisdiction also extends lo nfl questions Unit may-arise respecting couti acts); tte agent who is thus to exercise the c-tik-e of a military judge may be a stranger, en tirely ignorant of thc laws of the place, and exposed to theories of j-jdgroent to which all men are liable ;*to the exercise, of power over which there is no legal supervision by . PO vast a nunil>er of agents as iseocLiuplatcd Ly the bill, must by the very natur-.- of mau i Le attended by -.et* of caprice and injustice : iu passion. The trials haviug their origin under this bili arc to take place without the intervention, of a jury, aud without any faxed iules of law or etideuce j tho rules ou which oi&oct-s aro to be heard and determined by the nuuiev;<us agents, are such rules and regulations as the President, through the War Department, shall prescribe. .No previous preeeato'ent is required, nor any indictment, charging the, commissi JU of a crime against the laws, but the trial must proceed ou charges aud speci fications. The punishment will not be as the law de clares, but such as a court martial may think proper, aud from those arbitrary tribunals ?'1?re Hes no appeal, no writ of error io any of tho courts in which tho Constitution of tho Uuitcd. Stales wats exclusively the judiciary power of the country, while r!:-} territory and tao class of actious aud oifvnces that are made aubjec*. to this measure, are so extensive the bill itself fihouid not become a law; will have nj li.r.ita'ion in point of time, but will form apart of thc permanent legislation of the cour . I cannot raconcile a system of military ju risdiction of this kind, with the words of the Consti:ution, which declare that no person shall bt>held to answer for a capital or other wise it famous crime unless on presentment or iodi;tmeit of a grand jury, except incases arising in the land ir naval forces, o.- in tl e militia; when in actual service in time of war or public danger ; and that in all criminal - prosecutions the accused shall enjoy thc right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the State or district wherein tho crime .-hall have been committed. The safeguards which thc wisdom and ex perience of ages taught our fathers to estab lish as securities for pr..tcctk/u of tho inno cent, thc puni-hintnt of the guilty and the equ?l administration of justice, aro to be set i aside, abd for the sake of more vigorou* in- j terpositjon in behalf of justice we are to tali e ' tho riisk of tho many acts- of injustice that would, of necessity, follow from an almost countless number of atrents, establshr-d in every parish or county, iu nearly a third of ? the Slates of the Union, over whose decision lhere is to be no superior control'by the Fed Aral courts. The power that would bc thus -piaodd in the hands of the President ia such in tune of peace; certainly ought never to he intrusted to any one man. If it be askod whether the creation of such a tribunal within a State is warranted as a measure of war,- the question immediately presents itself whether we are Pt ill engaged in war. Let ?ynot unnecessarily dis*.nrb the commerce and credit and industry of the eonntry by dcclaririg'to thc American people .nd the world that tbe United States are still in a condition of civ^war. At preseEt there ia no g?rt of our country in which fhe authority of the United States1 ts disputed. Offences that may be committed by individuals should not work a forfeiture of 'right? of- the same communities. The coun ? try has entered, or is returning, to a ctate of peace and industry, and the r?bellion"i?, in fi St, at the end. The raeos'ire, therefore, seems to be as inconsistent with the actual - Condition of the" country as it is afTariance V'rth th? Constitution of thc United States. " If, p^ng from general considerations, we j ?tram? the bill-in detail, it Isopen to weigh ty outset ion*. In. time of war it was emil nently proper tfajat we should - provide* fdrn those who-were passing^ddeiily from a con dition of bondage w a slate tn freedom, but it hill nroposQfl' to maka the Freoimen'? V one of the many great and extraordinary military measure lo suppress a formidable re bellion, a permaneut branchnor* the public administration, with its power* xreatly-ea large* . ?? %^ 1 have no reason to, suppress, and I .do nol understand it to be alleged, that tke,act ol March, 1865, has proved deficient for tho pur pose for which i twas passed, although at that time, and for a considerable period thereafter th* (Toverumentof tbe Uuited Statesrsmainec unacknowledged in-mostof tho States whose inhabitants had been involved in the rebellion Thc institution of slavery, for the militan destruction ol which the Freedmen's Bureai was ca?h d into existence as an auxiliary foi it,-baa been already et?cereslly and fi nail abrogated throughout :he whole country b) amendment to the Constitution of tbeUuitci States, and practically its eradication has re ceived the assent and concurrence of mosto tbosj Sia'.tsjn which U any time had existed I u..i licit, [bereite, able-to dibCeru Ul lbj coimry anything tv justify au appicU-iisioi that the powers and Agencie* ul' the Froi?d nun's L'urer u, which w??e effective for th< protection <>f thoslrcedmc!! ard refugees du rino, he actual conti ?.uanoi: of bostilitie and V African servitude, will row, in a timi oi peace, and after the abolition of slavery prove iliad quat? to the same proper ends. If I am correct in tl we views, there cai be nu tu-cp?i'y {bj ihi? enlargement ot tbj Bureau, fur whick provision, is m-ide in thi o?ll.

The Congress ol i bc Uuiti d States* ba' never heretofore thought liicll competent ti establish any laws beyond.thc limits of tb? District of Columbia, except for the berieft of our dis-ibled withers and sailors ; it ha? never founded schools fur any class of oui people-nut evui fur the o-phaus. of tbos: who have fallen in defence of the Union, bul La' left the care of their education to "tin much more Competent control of the States f communities, of private associations, am >T i ?Uivmuti's.

A -js'em for thc support of indigent peiso?s >n the Uuiu-d Smiles was never contempl?tted by t! e authors of ike,Constitution, norean noy good reason be advanced why, as a per manent establishment it should bc founded for one class or color of our people more than for smother. Pending thc war, mvny refugees and freed mc : received supp* rt from tho government, bufcit was never intended they.should hence tonk be fed,, clothed,, eduia?cd, and sheltered by the Cnited Sla'c's. The idea on which the slaves were assisted to freedom, was, that ou -becoming free tlie^would- be a self-su? tainiiig population ^un^'legislation that shall imply they are not expected to atuiu a self, sustaining condition must have a tendency injurious ahkc to their character and their prosperity. The appointment of an agent for every couuty aud pariah will create an immense patronage, a:u} tba expanse of the numerous otlieers and their clerks to be appointed by the President will be greai in the beginning, with a tendency to steadily increase. Thc appropriation asked by the Freedmen's B:ireiu as "*nc>w tstablished, for the vcar 1S?G , amouuts to .?11,7-15,000. It m ny bc safo'y estimated that tho cost to be incurred under the pending biil will require double that amount, more thau the ontiru! sum expended iu auy one year under thc Administration ol tho second Adonis. If the presence of agents ?ti every, parish aud county is to bo considered cs a war. measure, opposition, or eveim^sistance, might Oe provoicea, -?a war-w-ir.? w enea ia itrcnr jurisdiction, troops would have to be stationed within reach of every une of them, and thus, ai a large standing loree would be rendered necessary, large appr ipriatioua would be re quired to sustain and enforce military juris .Lc.iun iu every county and palish from the Potomac to the Kio Grande. The cocdili ni of our fiscal affairs is en BOuraging, but in order-to susi tin the'pvc-sent uieacure ut public -coclidence, it is necessary we practice not merely c?Stopn?ry economy, bu', as far as possible severe retrenchment. In addition to the objections already stated, che tilth section of the bili proposes to take away land from funnel' owners, without auy Le val proceediugs being lirstbad, oontiary to that provision of the Constitution whick de clares that no person shall .be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. It (joes not appear that the land? to which this section rulers-may not bc owned by mi nors or person* ot unsound mind, or by those who have been faithful to all their ob ligations as citiz- ns of ibo [Totted Slates. If any portion of the land is held by such per .oii/it is not competent for any authority to deprive them of it. If, oe the other baud, it bc found that the property is liable to confiscation, even then it cannot bo appropriated to public purposes until, by due process of law, it shull have leon declared forfeited to thc government. There aro still farther objections so the l ill on the grounds of seriously affecting the da-,s of persons to whom it is designed to bring relief. It will tend to keep the mind of tuc freedman in a state' of uncertain ex pectation anti restlessness, while to taos? amorg whom he lives it will be a source of constant and vague apprehension. Uiidoub'.ed'y thc freedmen should be pro tected, but they should bc piotectc-d by the civil authorities, especially by the exercise o ' ali thc coristitiitrohal powers of the courts or the United States aud of tho States. Their condition is not so exposed, as muy at firs', bc imagined. They arc in a portion of the country where their labor caurjot wen be spared. Competition for his services from plantets; from those who arc constructing and repair ing railroads, or from capitalists in bis vicini ty or from other- Stetes, will enable Lim to command almost hi.? own ter ns. He also p'.sscsscs c perfect right to change his placo of abode, and if, therefore, ;hc does not find in one community or -State ti mode uf life suited to his desires or proper remuneration for his labor, he can move to another where laber is more esteemed and better rewarded. In truth, however, each State, induced by its own wanta end interests, will du what is necessary apd prop?r fo retain within its borders ail thc labor that is .needed for the development of'ils resources. The laws that regulate supply and demand will mainlairi.tmyir fcrcc, and tho wages-of, tho laborer will tt? fu??ated thereby. There is ;30 danger t?l&??bc CTeAdetnaod for labor will not operate in favor of- the laborer, neither ?fl mifticient consid-?t tiliSn'given to the ability of the freedmen to protect and take care of themselves. ?t is no more than justice tb them to be lieve that as they have received their freedom with modesty arid forbearance, they will dis tinguish themselves by their industry, and they feel and will soon show the world thut in toe condition pf freedom they aro self sustaining and capable pC selecting their cnvii employment and their own places.!' abode, of insisting~oh for them-elvcs n pro per remunerationf^and of establishing and maintaining their own asylumns and schools. It is earnestly hoped that,,instead of wast ing away, they will, by their own effort*, cs tablisn .or themselves a condition of respec tability and prosperity. It 19 certain that they can attain to that condition only through their own merits and exertions. In this connection the query pra-ents Itself whether the System proposed by thc bill will not, when pnt into complete Operation, prac tically transfer the entire cate, support and cor*"ol of fourmillions oCemancipated sl?vwj to agents, overseers or taskmasters, who, ap pointed at Washington, are tobe located in ov ?ry- county and parish throughout the IJnited j Statis": ccota?n?ng freedmen, arid refugees.

I cannot but add another very grav?ob jeclion to this bil! ; the Constitution^^p?ra tively^declar?s. iu condition'with'toiatioij that each State shall Lavett Deast one Rep resentative,, and. fixes the ruje for the number to which in future ti mei each State^h?ll'?w? j entitled. _ It also provides, that thnr-Sencte of the United States shall be ^con?p?sc3?bi two Stators from'tack State/and a"dds,\jrith pe culiar forc^jthat no State, without it con sents, shal&r.c deprived of its suffrage in the Senate. The original act waa necessarily passed, ia the absence of the States, chiefly because" tbftr people. w?re cohtnnTaciotfsTfr engaged in rebellion^ buifhe CUJQ?S changed, aud sjnic ?t lea.st ??^lw'States;-a'.r^attei?di:ig CongrtH? by loyal R?pres?ntatives sol?cifing' 4he allowance of thereof OTttmiobaT=Tlghr,Sivj representation. At tlic time, L;wever,.of iho consideration | aud passing ol the bill thero was, npS.-mvtor Oi: R.-prssentative in Congress fromme eleven; States which are to he mainly affected by U*. provisions. The very fae ; that reports were and axe; made against th?.good disposition of . thc country, is ax additional reasou why they need and should have representatives of tbeir owu in Congress io explain-their condition, reply esf c.. i .Hy lo iheaccuiations, ar d assist, by j their locil knowledge, in perfecting measures^ immediately affecting themselves, while the liberty of delibera.', hm. would; thea he 'free, at.d Congress would have fiull-powor to decide, acoprdiug to its judgment. . Tbcrc could be ito ^ibj<etion-Hrged that the - 8'atea most" interested had not:beau pe:?uiticd to bj hiiard. The principi?is ?ir-niy fixed ia thc nundi of the American pc< plc ;h&i rWc<?; shimltl bc no taxation without repcsenUtion.

I bey are voted by a maj ority .of thertprcbcntatives of all the people. I would not interfere, with the unquestion able right of Congress to judge, each.IL use L-r itself, of the election returns and qualifi cations of its own member*, hut that author ity caunot be construed as iiucluding the right to put out in time ot. peace any State from the Representatives to which it ii entitled by th? Constitution. At present all the peo ple t.f thc eleven Slates are- excluded,, those who were moat faithfsi during thOJ war, not less than olhars. Thc State of Tennessee, for instance, whose authorities engaged in. the rebellion, was rc ?lor<d to-all her comfit utiouil relations to the Union by the patriotism and energy nj her injured aud betrayed people before the war was brought to a termination. They had placed themselves in relations with thc geueral government, bsd established a State government of their cwii, and aa they were uot included in the emancipation proclamation they, by th<*ir own act, have amended their Constitution so as to aboliuh slavery within thc limits of their Stato. I know no reason why the State of Tennes see, for example, should not'fully ei-joy her constitutionnl relations to the United States. The President of tho United States stands to wards the country in a somewhat different at titude from that of any member of Congress chosen from a single distric-Vor Slate. Tho President is chosen by the people of all the States. Eleven States are Uot at this time represented in either branch of Congress. It would seem to be his duty, on all proper oc casions, to present their just claims to Con gress. There always will bc diflerences of opiuion iu lie country, aud individuals may be guilty of transgressions of thu law; but these do not constitute valid objections against the right of a State to Representatives, and would, in no wise, interfere with the discretion of Con gress with regard to thc qualifications -of j members ; but I hold it my duty to recom mend to you. in the interact of peace, and in the interest of the Union, the admission of j every State to its ?hare of public legislation, when, however insubordinate, insurgent or rebellious its noonie may bjMjfeJ?CP JLUPWb "seme vc&fCXK^ottfj ?x? ?a-ovrjtuviu ot iujunty and harmony, but in the persons of Represen tatives whose, loyalty cannot be questioned under the exieiiug C nstimtiou or logal test. It is plain that au indefinite or permanent exclusion of any part of tho country from re-, resent :tion will be attended by aspaciesof disquiet and complaint.. It is unwise and dsotrcrous to pursue a course of measures which will unite auy lange sect ion of the coun try against another s.cti*n of the country, no matter how mach lue latter may predomi nate. The cause of immigration, the wants of in ?Vustry and business, and natural causes will raise up iu the South meu a* devoted to the Union a3 those of any other part of the laud ; but if they are all excluded from Congress, if in a permanent statute they are declared not to be in full constitutional relations to tho country, they may tbiuk they have cause to become a unit in feeliug aud sentiment against the government. Under the political education of the Amer ican people the idea is inherent and ineradi cable, that the consont of the majority of the whole people is necessary to secure a willing ftcqule oence in tho logmlatjon.. The bill un der consideration TeferS to cettain of the State* a* though they had not been fully re stored to thc United States ;aud if they have uot, let ns at once act together to secure that desirable eDd at tho earliest practicable mo ment. It is hardly necessary for me to inform Cen grass that in my own judgment most af these States, so far at IcaU as depends upon their own action?, have already been fully restored and aro to be deemed entitled to enjoy their constitutional rights as members of the Union. Rea?omng from tho Constitution itself ?nd from the actual situation of the country, aDd feeling not only-entitled outbound to assume that, with the.Federal courts restored in the several States, and in the full exercise of their functions,, tba rights and interests of al ll clares of the people will, with the aid of *hc milita ry, in cases of resistance to the Jaw, be es sentially protected against unconstitutional infringement and violation. Should this ex pectation unhappily fail, which 1 do not anti cipate, then the Executive iii already armed with the power conferred by the aet of March 1SG5, establishing the" freedmen's Bureara, fljid hereafter, aB heretofore, he can employ the land and naval forces of tho country to suppress insurrection, and 'to overcome ob structions to thc law. I return tho bill to tho Senate in earnest hope that a measure involving the question and interests so important to the country will not beeb tts a hw unless upon deliberate consideration by thc people, and it shall re ceive the sanction of at enlightened public judgment.

Wa have not hod the honor of receiving ono ourself, but others have had tho pleasuro of hearing from him. He states that tho.prospects of tbe South wero. improving m?eh ; that the Radical parly was crumbling to pieces ; fAar th* Southern member* were toon to be admitted ! fio had visited President Johnson, and found thc same magnanimous principles enunciated by him in his policy of restoration wore still control ling him-ho know no North, no South, no East no West. The President'Tcquested bim to call "on :the AUuiney General arid havo tho United States Court for South Carolina organized, which Gov. P. dosigncd doing before leaving the city. Ile WAS mot very kindly and obligingly by tho Seorolary of State and otbor officials. Gov. P. states that the President made a state ment to him that tho Stato Works at Greenville, and the Oas'Works ai Charleston, seiicd by tho Treasury Agents of the United States; would bo rostored. Tho restoration of the State Werks much effects the interest* of the people of tho State, and is greatly desirable. Gov. Perry's credentials were to have been presented to the United States Senate on the 13th inst. The action taken in reforence thereto will soon transpire. A telegraphic dispatch, dated Washington, Feb. ?22d, says : Tho demonstration of the citizens of the dis trict of Columbia, in support of the President's policy, was attended by an immense concourse The meeting was addressod hy prominent indi viduals, and resolutions to support the patriotic, policy of the President were adopted and present ed to him at tho Executivo mansion, in response to1 which he mado a speech reiterating bis devo tion to the Union, fie said the Radicals were en deavoring to broak up the Union we fought to preserve. Iiis remarks were greeted with groat applause by a vast gathering. - XW fTgnrmgwn ? ^yumwn veto as follows : God be praised I The radical bill known as tho " Freedmen's Bureau Bill," which was sub mitted to the President a few days since, has been returned, we understand, vetoed in every section. This is but th? consistent action of the President's policy, and is the . inauguration, of a new era in tho history pf Ibo Republic 1 It dooma radicalism to a spocdy, ignominious death, and marks the immediate return of the country to prosperity, harmony, pooco and happiness. It will be hailed with delight by tho people throughout the coun try, aud tho masses will rally as one roan to tbe support of tho polioy. Over seveu-eighths, of the intire nation aro a unit in endorsing the course if the President. God bo praised ! The age of radical intolerance is- over, and the Ropublic is laved.

We extract tho following from the New York Herald, of the 20th : The voto message has created great excitement n official eircfes in Washington. 5 Tbe o?nclusioaj if its reading in tho Senate'was followed by a rea; beering and hissing in one of the galleries, vhicb, by order of thc Vice-President, T?as ?tamo- s iutoly cleared of spectators.

I asked Lim.at what time the General had appointed to see rae. He replied, .immediately. I an swered I am ready to go .with you? Arriving at headquarters, the King house, x was pre sented toi Genoral. Bennett, who received hie politely. He their said he had seen my replj^ to Lieutenant Geise. and considered- it dis respectful. I said I ara sorry yon ao consider it, for ?. intended it to Le entirely respectful. He said, I think it rasher curt. I answered., that the office, of a Judge of jhe Superior Court in South Carolina had always been considered one of groat dignity, that those who had preceded mcTiad maintained its sta tion and that I was not inclined tb depart frorri their example. I added; if I had been in Charleston on my private affairs and ;hc had requested meto come to his office, I wonld have h s ii no hesitation in doing so. Butas I was here officially, holding Court, Fthought" something was due to the dignity of the office, and that be might at least have addressed ' me under his own- hand and informed of his busineea. Ile asked me if I did not recognize the authority of, the United- States Govern ment in the State. I.said. L did, and was forced to do so. He then said that he re presented the Government, and although it would have given him pleasure to call op ine, yet he thought my. reply-might have boen Jess curt. s He then drew my attention to tbe-report iV the daily newspapers of the sentences pasaeo* by me in ?Bc Court of Sessions, and asked me if the report was correct. He said, I ask you this question because tire repcrtet s some times make great blunders and we are led into enror. I replied that the sentences were correctly reported. He answered, I supposed^ so, as I sent down my Provost Marshal to examine the records. He then said I ara di rected by G?n?r?t Sickles' to rcquc3t you to revoke the sentences, as they are in violation of his fcrder and inconsistent with"^ tho ad vance of civilization and the humanity of thc age. I replied that I had never seen Genera1 Sickles' order, which he handed me ; but that.. I would not revoke tho sentences, as that punishment wa3 imposed by law ; that the only discretion I had, as a Judge, was to in crease or decrease thc number of stripes to a certain limit ; but that the law prescribed whipping, and I could not, as the Judge, dis pense with it and perform my duty. I then explained to him the division of our Courts into Law, Equity and of Appeals, and a fWi.? nf Vrrnra Hp HH^Ari mo \f ?h? fiH)f* Justice waa m the city, and if there was any difference in the rank of Judges. I replied, no, that the Chief Justice presided in the/ Court of Appeals, and in the Court of Errors ; that the Court of Appeals was'a separate Court, and that thc Court of Errors was com posed of all the Judges, and that each Judge has the same authority and dignity as the... Chief Justice, f then said to htrrr there'i.< but ono way ia which the whipping can be avoided, and that is by applying to-thc Gov ernor to exercise the power of-pardon. I ad ded it was also to be avoided by your taking the prisonors out of thc custody of the Sheriff. He then said, I understand, you to decline to ii revoke thc sentences. I said I did. Here-, plied, I will report this conversation to Gene' ral Sickles', and voa may hear from me ia the course of 'the day. Tbis terminated thc in- ! erriew. A. P. ALDRICH.
