?%?trm Jii?el?ipm\ Veto of the Arkansas Bill. The following is the message of the President, transmitted to the House of Representatives,- returning without Iiis signature the bill to admit Arkansas to representation in Congress : To the Souse of Representatives : I return without my signature a bill en? titled-* "An act to admit the State of Ark? ansas to representation in Congress." The approval of this bill would be an admission on the part of the Executive that tlie "Act for the more efficient gov? ernment of the rebel States," passed March 2, 1SG7, and .the acts supplementary there? to, were proper and constitutional. My opinion, however, in referenoe to those measures has undergone no change, but, on the contrary, has been strengthened by the results which have attended their exe cotion. ; Even were this not the case, I could net consent to a bill which is based upon thc the assumption either that by an act of rebellion of a portion of itH people the State of Arkansas seceded from the Union, or that Congress may, at its pleasure, ex Tpel or "exclude a State from the Union, or interrupt its relations with tho Govern? ment by arbitrarily depriving it of repre? sentation in the Senate ind House of Rep-, resentatives. If Arkansas is a State not in the Union, t his Viii does not admit it as a State'into the Union. If, on the other hand, Arkansas is a Slate in the Union, no legislation is necessary to declare it enti? tled "to representation in Congress a* one. of the States of the Union." Tlie Con 6tith7ntion already declares that "each State shall have at least one Representa? tive;" thar, the Senate "shall be composed of two Senators from each State ;" and "that no State, without its consent, shrill be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate." That insti ument-also makes each House "the judge of the ?lections, returns, and qualifications of its own members;'' and, therefore, all that is now necessary to restore Arkansas in all its constitutional relations to the Government is a decision breach House npon the eligibility of those >vho, presenting their credentials, claim seats iu the respect ive Houses of Congress. This is the plain and simple plan of the Constitution; and, believing that lind it been pursued when Congres* assembled in the month of December, 1863, the restora? tion of the States would long since have been completed, I once again recommend that it be adopted by each House, in pre? ference to legislation which I respectfully submit is not only of at least doubtful con? stitutionality,, and therefore unwise and sud dangerous as a precedent, but is unne? cessary, not so effective in its operation ars the mode prescribed by tho Constitution, involves additional delay, and from its tenus may be taken rather as- applicable to a Territory about to be admitted as one Of the ?H?*.ed States than to a State which has occupied a place in tho Union for up . wards of a quarter of a cent ury. . The .biIT declares the State of Arkansas "entitled and admitted to representation in Congress as one of the States of thc Union upon the following fundamental con ditton : "That tho constitution of Arkansas shall never be so amended or changed as to de? prive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of the right to vote who are entitled to vote by the constitution herein recognized, except as a punishment for such crimes as are now felonies at common law, whereof they shall have been duly convicted under laws equally applicable to all the inhabitants of said State : Provided. That any alteration of said constitution, prospective in its effect, may be made in regard to the time and place of residence of voters." I have been unable to find in the Consti stution of the United staten any warrart for the exercise of the authority thus claimed by Congress. In assuming the power to impose a "fundamental condi? tion" upon a State which has been duly "admitted into the Union on an equal foot? ing willi thc original States in all respects whatever," Congress asserts a right to en? ter a State as it may a Territory, and to regulate the highest prerogative of a free people-the elective franchisa Thu ques? tion is reserved by the Constitution to the Btates themselves, and to couccde to Con? gress the power to regulate this subject would be to reverse the fundamental prin? ciple of the Republic, and to place in the hands of the Federal Government (which is the creature of the States) the sovereignty which justly belongs to the States or the people, the true source of all political power, by whom our Federal system was created, and to whose will it is subordi? nate, . / The bill fails to provide in what manner the State of Arkansas is to signify its ac? cept ance of the "fundamental condition" which Congress endeavors to make unal? terable and irrevocable. Kor does it pre scribe the penalty to be imposed should the people of the State amend or change t-ife particular portions of the constitution which it is one ol' thc purposes of the bill to perpetuate, but as to the consequences of such action leaves them in uncertainly and doubt. When the circumstances under which this constitution hus been brought to the attention of Congress are considered, it is not unreasonable to suppose that ef forts will he made to modify ils provision*, and especially those in respect to which this measure prohibits any alteration, lt is seriously questioned whet her the consti? tution has been r:i,t i lied by a majority of the persons who, under the act of Hi arch 2, 1S67, and the acts supplementary there to, were entitled to registration and to vote upon that issue. Section ten of the schedule provides that "no person disqual? ified from voting or registering under this constitution shall vote for candidates for ary office, nor shall be permitted to vote for the ratification or rejection of this con stitntion at the polls herein authorized." j Assumed to bc in force before its-adoption, in disregard of the law of Congres*, the Constitution undertakes to impose upon; tlie elector other and further conditions. The fifth sect ion of the eighth article pro? vides that "all persons, before registering or voting." must take and subscribe an oath which, among others, contains the following clause: '.That I accept the civil and political equality of ali men, and agree not to at? tempt to deprive anyp-.n'son r<v per.vons. on account of race, color, or previous con? dition, ol'any political or civil right, privi? lege, or immunity enjoyed by any other class of men." lt is well known that a very largo por? tion of the electors in all the States, if not ' a large majority ol all of them, do not bo- j lieve in or accept tho political equality bf Indians, Mongolians, or negroes with the ! race- to which they belong, ll'the voters ! of many of tho States of the North and j West were required to take such un oath ! as a test of their -qualification, there is i reason to believe that a majority of them would remain from tho polls rather than comply with its degrading conditions. How far and to what extent this test oath prevented tho registration of those who were qualified under the laws of Congress, it is not possible to know - but that such was its effect at least sufficient to overcome the small and doubtful ma? jority in favor ot this constitution, there can bo no reasonable doubt. Should the people of Arkansas, there? fore, desiring to regulato the electivo franchise so as to make it conform to tho constitutions of a large proportion of the States ol'the Noith and West, modify tho provisions referred to in the "fundamental condition," what is to be the consequence? Is it intended that a denial of representa? tion shall follow ? And it so. may we not dread, at somo future day, a iceurrencc of tho troubles which have so long agi? tated the country ? Would it not be the part of wisdom lo take for our guide the Federal Constitution, rather than resort to measures which, looking only to the tho present, may in a few years renew, in an aggravated form, the strife and bitter? ness caused by legislation which has prov od lo be so ill-timed and unfortunate? ANDREW JOHNSON. WASHINGTON, Juno 20,1868. Beauties of Military Rule. To the Editor of the Charleston Mercury : DEAR SIR:-As you aro supposed to know everything. I would like some in? formation on a point of interest which has puzzled us somewhat within the lasi few daj-s : A detachment of troops from Columbia was sent to this town during tho past week, under command of a Lieutenant Connor, in consequence ol the disturbance which had taken place. Within a short time after their arrival, I was ordered to appear at Lieutenant Connor's headquar? ters. Having obeyed the order, this is what took place: A soldier was called up. anil having been solemnly required to hold np hi? right hand und swear, was in? terrogated? "Do you know this man" (myself)? Answer-"I do." "Did he ever give you anything to drink?" An? swer- "Ile did." Connor-' That will do." Kow, sir, what have you to saj"? Supposing he meant that I would have a ehanccof swearing loo, 1 mildly suggested that course. Connor-".No. sir. you can't do that." Having no speech to make. J then innocently asked when 1 would h. tried? Connor-"You are tri ed already, sir, and fined fif't}' dollars, which, unless you pay, you will be confined in prison until you do pay." The weather being warm, I paid the fifty dollars, and left ,-i wiser, though a poorer man. Kow, heir is what 1 want yon to tell mo. I under? stand that the soldier received tho one fourth of that fifi}' dollars. "Where- did tho balance go to? 2d. Supposing I had given this soldier a drink (which ? deny; was there anything criminal in it so as to subject me to this large fine. Connor published no order forbidding either tho giving or selling of liquor to soldiers until afterwards. Are civilians" expected to know anything of tl.e regulations of the soldier without such express notice ? od. lu it right or just, or according even to militan- custom, that a citizen should be mulcted without being allowed a hearing? I could imve proved myself that 1 had not given this fellow one drop; and could have shown by ol hers, that he came tr) me to beg a drink and I refused him. This same Connor on tho same dav tined another citizen fifty dollars for thc same thing (one-fourth went to the same soldier, tho balance is somewhere), who tendered tho money under a written protest, and was ordered ott' to prison, and only re? leased alter much difficulty! Tho money was kept by Connor, tho protest by the citizen". 1 am satisfied these doings aro not known at headquarters. It is very well they should be. And if it bo wrong, 1 would not mind having this little lieu? tenant disgorge my fifly dollars. So would the other citizen, I think. Let tho Lieutenant pay the soldier ont of his own pocket twenty-five dollars, which was a good day's work, and more than his pay for several days. If it be all right, so lot it be, only let us bc sun; of it. I am, respectfully, yours, C. A. HARLEY. Orangeburg, S. C., Juno 19, 1808. - j? ; A BRIDE CHANGES UER MIND.- The Columbus (Ohio) Statesman says: A girl living in the family of one of our city officials was wooed and won by a young man every way worthy of her, and last Friday was fixed as the time for tying the knot with the tongue that can't be un? tied with the teeth. Everything was pre? pared, t he wedding harness purchased, the wedding supper spread, the guests invited, and the groom arrayed gorgeously, await? ed on thc appearance of the bride, who had retired to take thc last look in the mirror. An hour passed, and yet she did i-ot come. Another, and Hie groom and priest and guests began to get uneasy. Hie lady of the house went after her, and found that she had disrobed herself ol'her bridal attire, and was again an ay ed in thc habiliments of ordinary life. Being asked the reason, she said she had changed her mind ; she didn't want to marry ; she liked the would-be husband well enough, but she had concluded to die an old maid. lie begged, implored, entreated, but all in vain. She had made up her mind not to marry, and marry she wouldn't. - To-morrow may never come to us. We do not live in to-morrow. "We cannot i find it in our title deeds. The man who owns whole blocks of real estate, and great ships on the sea, does not own a single minute of to-morrow. To-morrow ! It is a mysterious possibility, not yet born. It lies under the seat of midnight-behind the veil of glistening constellation'.-Cha Heme, Sweet Korae. Night dropped lier shadowy vail over London, and tlie mantle of mists that all clay long had enveloped the city grew more dense, and fell in beaded drops of rain. The gas-lights burned brightly at the cor? net's, but it was a dreary night to bc out in. Yet crowds lilied the streets, for even in night storms the great thoroughfares are never deserted. Guilt and wretched? ness are always wakeful and abroad. To realize a desolation of loneliness, one must be a stranger in a crowded city, with a sensitive nature, and a refinement that sinks from rude contacts, and uncongenial companionship. Alone in the country, with the blue sky above us, and the green grass beneath our feet, there are charms that woo us to for? getfulness; There is music in the running stream, and beauty in the flowers that grow upon its banks. Some German wri? ter-I have forgotten who-has called flowers the stars of earth, and stars the flowers of heaven. Fair and radiant flow? ers they arc and shed their brightness on the smoke-wreathed city, but, in their matchless, softened, and mellowed Hglit, seem to linger more pleasantly on green fields and waving corn. Alone in London! Dreary and desolate reality, that swelled almost to bursting a weary and aching heart. The stranger gathered his thin cloak around his shiver? ing form, and drew his face with a sensi? tive shrinking from the crowd that rudely jostled past lum. He was alone in London, and very poor, not even a shilling to pro? cure a scanty supper. Somewhere in a dark part of the city, where the gas-lights were few, up many flights of stairs, was the garret in which he slept, but in it there was nothing save the darkness, one broken chair, and a. wretch? ed bed with its scanty covering. When he entered this desolate chamber on nights like this, an unseen company surrounded him, the spirits of the viewless air, and in thc wailing of the wind, they told him strange, myterious tales of wretch? edness and dread, until, half wild with dark imaginings, he rushed forth in the night and the jH ting storm. Thus through the chilling sleet and rain he walked the streets, looking int o the hard faces of the pasEcrs-by, and wondering if, in all London lhere.was another man who had noone to care for him, no one to love him. And then he thought how deliciously strange it would seem to him-a stranger and a 'panderer for many years-to be loved. ile hoped the blessed light would dawn upon him, but in the darkness of th i ? night it seemed a great way off. The cloud of novelty and gloom that wrapped his heart was too cold and deep he feared, for hu? man sympathy and love to penetrate. Ile seemed to see before him, Fate, with wierd fingers, weaving thc mystic web of his lonely destiny, and as he watched the I phantom hands with feverish intensity, he wondered that if, at some future day, that a maulle of brightness might fail upon him instead of a pall. A strain of sweet, sad music broke in upon his lonely musings. Over till relined natures, music, has an ab Stubing power, and though it often li!!s the soul with saltness, it casts upon it the spell of an irresistible fascination; and the stranger paused in his desolate walk to listen to the song. Thc windows of the princely mansion wore but half veiled and he could see thc happy group that sur rounded the piano, and the fair girl that san-.: thc soft minor air which sank into the listener's heart. He was a poet, and had written songs of tende ness and love for others to sing. Himself he could not sing with such a weight lip?n his heart. The light of ge nins was in Iiis eye, and tho imagery of a fervid imagination gathered around his brain, and the poet's native impulse, lov? ing warm and true, lived within his heart. In the sensitive and gifted, the longing for sympathy and love is fir more intense! than in ruder natures, and all his life long his heart had yearned with passionate ca gerness for the pure delights of home, and the bliss of sympathy and love. The song was over, but still he lingered, watching the firelight's fitful glow, as it shed its ruddy sheen upon the changing group. Airain tho fair girl took her seat at thc piano, and sang with inimitable grace and beauty, the song, ''Home, Sweet Home." lt was hissing ! lie, the homeless wanderer, had written "Home, Sweet Home." Ile btood out in darkness and night lis telling to his song, the child of his own heart and brain, and looking in at the win? dow of "Home, Sweet Home," knew that in all the world there was no home for him. The song ended. Ile sat down on tho stone steps of the stately mansion, with the rain beating heavily upon him; and burying his face in his hands in thc bitter? ness of his heart. Years passed away, and still he was a hotnele-s wanderer. Often in the streets of London, Berlin and Paris, he'heard "Home, Sweet Home," which in all lands and all hearts had become a household word. Later in life he became consul to Tunis, and died a stranger in a .strange laud. Never, save in his dreams, had he known the bliss of "Home, Sweet Home." - A General Council of thc Catholic Church throughout the world is authorita? tively announced to take place at Home during the next or the ensuing winter. This council, it is stated, will be delibera? tive in its character, and will be the first General Council of the Catholic Church that has been held since the famous Coun? cil of Trent. The object of this Grand Council arc Haid tobe political rather than religious. Cardinal Manning, in England, asserts that the church is to tale ground, once for all, against t he alleged infidel and revolutionary tendencies of the times, and interpose as a bulwark against anarchy and the dissolution of society. - A Foreigner, who heard of thc Yan? kee propensity for bragging, thought he would beat the natives at their own trame. Seeing some very large watermelons on a market woman's stand, he exclaimed : "What ! don't, yon raise larger apples t han those in America?" The quick witted woman immediately replied: "Anybody might, know that you're a foreigner; them's gooseberries !" - "We're in a pickle now," said a man in a crowd. "A regular jam," said another. 'Heaven prcfcrve UH!" mourned an old lady. Strange Romance. We copy tlie fellowing from a rec letter of "Evelyn," tho Kew Orleans t respondent of tlie Mobile Sunday Tim 1 have before said that romances in r life are more common than people suppl and have remarked that few notice rom ces and plots unless set out and ad on by the skill of a romantic writer. A j; for a novel, or a study foi a story, has comly come tinder my observation. Soi Hiing like two years ago young M the son of one of the wealthiest men Louisiana, fell deeply in love with a yon I lady of a neighboring parish. Iiis h was returned with warmth, and they wi engaged. J int now an obstacle came their way. M-'s father opposed I match. For sometime he kept this sec from his?ancce, and meanwhile she v making preparations for her marriage. S was an orphan, but had been left a. sm property, which, valuable before the v brought lier but little over $3,000. T she expended upon her trousseau, feeli that, as' lier intended husband was ri' she had no necessity for saving, and tl she should make her appearance worth)' their station. As the time drew near when they w< to bo united, M-seemed to change wards her, and grew cool and serious, vain she tried, with all the arts which In could suggest, to learn the secret of t change, but he did not confide in her, a she could only wait and wonder, last the time for the ceremony came, a M-was forced to make a confesa? Ile said that his father forbade the matt that he had supposed her an heiress wh he engaged himself to her, and now could not marry her against his fathe will. The shock which this gave the youi girl can be imagined. .Naturally one w say that she should have despised him, a felt herself fortunate in making her esca[ but, on the contrary, it was then only th .she felt how much she loved him. S had given herself without reserve, and, taras she wa* concerned, ?Ti'? was his f( ever. For the next year and a half s was in a convent, entirely excluded fir the world ; but some two mouths ago s was persuaded to come to this city, ai remained here for some two or thr weeks. One day she received a letter whi seemed to distuvb her, an 1 on going her room later, a friend found her on li knees, praying for the man who hail <1 serted lier. Ile was very sick in the cou try, and begged her to come to bim. C that very day M-'s father died, ai thc funeral notice was handed to her ? she stepped info the carriage to go to tl cars. For a week nothing was heard fro iier, but soon we got the finale ot the r marice. Thc giri had gone immediate to M-'s bedside, and foti nd him vei ill, attended by his two sisters. Ile to lier thal he was dying, and, now that h father was gone, wished to make her h wife. They were married. A will w; made by him, giving her one half of h large fortune, the other .half to his two si tors, ami the next day he followed his fat ht from earth. Contrary to the adv.ee of hi friends, the young'maiden willow annotu ces her intention of retiring to the con vet for lile. GES. Formes?.-A correspondent of tli Louisville Journal thus describer an into view with the old cavalry chieftain : "I didn't wani to go to the Nation: Democratic Convention,'' said Forre? ..In tact, il di-1 nut cross my mind uni it. wa* urged on mu by some ot the mo* prominent cilizeiiH stud politicians ill Tel nessec. 1 thought al the start that i would be imprudent tosend me; but the argued differently*, and when I at la.* gave ni)' consent, I did not feel at libcrt 10 retire and leave my friends lo hold th bag.

"Hut he's recanted all his sins, ami yoi haven't in other worths, he goos willi tin I ruling power, and you don't.'' "J here is a good deal of niisttikc aboul ! that." he answered.

"Arc you enmmillod lo any candidate?" "None whatever, except, as Hie Nash? ville Convention com mil ted me. I rtiess tho delegation will have no trouble deci? ding who it will go fur.
