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.

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.

those in America?" The quick witted
woman immediately replied: "Anybody

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.
