Bead the following from the Springfield Republican (Radical) : THE NEW BOUNTY BILL AND A NEW SECTIONAL? ISM.-There was a straight sectional contest over the bounty bill in the House Friday-not, this time, between North and South, but between East and West, and ?he latter conquered by exactly its numerical preponderance; without regard to party. And in the debate, as well as the voting, it was made clear that it was a mere strug? gle of brute force, with the least possible regard to justice or any recognised principle. Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, who engineered the bill, undertook to play the despot, according to the pre? vailing- sty le m that ' body, and refused to permit anv attempt at amendment, but he did not carry such vigor of personal authority as. docs Mr. Stevens, and the members grew restive under it, and refused to order the previous question, thus opening the bill to debate and amendment. Mr. Schenck stated the amount of money.required by the bill at anywhere from a hundred to five hun? dred-millions-what is a hundred millions more or less to a great nation like this? It was shown by the representatives from the Eastern States and New Took that th? resutt of deducting bounties previously paid will be that only the Western soldiers will pet the benefit of the bill-that, in in fact, it will take several hundred millions from the soldiers and people of the East and put it in the pockets of the soldiers of the West, for bounties that their own Skates should pay them, if they are to be paid at all. To this fair show? ing, which they did not undertake to deny, the Western members replied that three times as many Eastern and Western soldiers deserted, and that the East could afford to pay the money be-, cause it had .wrung its wealth out 0' the .Weat by high tariffs; and, moreover, they wanted to prove that henceforth the West is to control in national l?gislation. So the Western men stood 'tog'ther, Republicans sud Copperheads, and imposed this tax .in the East for their own benefit, by a vote of 92 to 69. To add to the aggravation of this de libers te act of ebb erv, Mr. Schenck coolly tells us that this Bill merely meets "the first expectation of the soldier," and he hopeB hereafter to bring bounties up to "the highest standard paid,'' This new sectionalism starts off magnificently, indeed, and it may soon become a question how much we have gained by exchanging Southern for Western supremacy. It is extremely refreshing to hear a Radical abusing legislation "by brute force," and calling for ''justice and principle ;" to hear a Radical characterize the "prevailing style" in the House of representatives as "playing the despot," and so forth. But the most interesting matter is the dispute between the East and West, as to which ?ide furnished the" most deserters 1 No donbt, gentlemen of New England, it is very hard to have Hoosiers for masters, but you will have to stand it. At a large fire in Boston, the firemen succeeded in reaching a trunk belonging to a domestic named KitiyQuadd. "It's not the value of me clothing, sir," said Kitty, very much delighted that her trunk had been found, "but it's me character that's there/' Hurrying her hand into the pocket of an old dress, ehe lifted it from the trunk and drew forth a dirty piece of paper with much apparent satisfaction. "This is it, an' sure enough it's safe it is, and it's yerself that shall read it too, for your loudness,'' said Kitty. The paper was un folden, and on it was written, "This certifies that Kitty Quadd is a good domestic, capable of doing all kinds of work, but she will get drunk when opportunity offers." The Chicago Tribune, a furiously Radical paper, declares that just as soon as the reconstruction question is settled tho Northwest will vote solid for the abolition of extortionate ^and oppressive duties and taxes not levied to support the Govern? ment but to plunder the masses for the benefit of .special classes. New England is likely to sit on t?? ?tool of penitence by-and-by. MEXICO. The French have left the Mexican capital. Mar? shal BAZAINE, on the 6th instant, turned it over to MASQUEZ, MAXIMILIAN'S chief general. Before leaving, BAZAINE issued an address to the chivalric Mexican nation, in which he said that during the four years of occupation, it had never entered into the intentions of France to impose upon the Mexi? can people any form of government contrary to their wishes. MASQUEZ next issued his proclamation to the citizens, in which he <feaid : "I have a sufficient armed force, and yon yourselves will soon Bee in what manner this place is garrisoned." This pro? clamation was followed by a general order, warning the citizens to shut themselves up in their houses at the ringing of the great Cathedral bell, for ho thinks there may be a Liberal rising and hot work in the streets at any moment, to say nothing of the approaching Liberal forces from outside. But still the theatres and the circus were in full blast. It was so in Paris the day before the sacking of the Bastile; BO in Washington the day before tho Battle of Manassas, and so in Richi .ond up to the day General LEE evacuated that city. And, in fact, I we can hardly blame the people of Mexico for taking things thus easy; for they have had such a succession of troubles and political turmoils for so long a time, that it has become their normal state. "Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof," is by them acted ont to the very letter. The French, it is said, were not coming away from the interior empty-handed. The sum of three millions six hundred thousand dollars in silver had come down to Yera Cruz in the course of a week, and two millions and a half more was expected within a few days more. The officers may be supposed to have some valuable baggage. As for the departing imperial rank and file, French, Austrians, and camp followers, it is safe to say that they will carry off some curious souvenirs from Mexico in the way of antique articles of plate, golden candlesticks, jewelry and silver spoons. It is a custom, as old as the hills, of retiring armies. Besides, under the convoy of the French troops, there is an exodus of merchants, brokers, sharp? ers and adventurers of all sorts, who went in to make, and who will bring off all they can of what BUCKINGHAM was promised by GLOSTEB in "those movables." If we are not mistaken, many of ocr readers know somewhat of the ?ostom of ' Stiring armies," and a pleasant way they have with silver spoons, pictures, pianos, railroad bonds, silk dresses, etc. "Spoiling the Egyptians", is understood very well in latitudes further north than tho Valley of Mexico. A recent number of the New Tork Herald hints at "annexation" as tho only chance of amendment for the broken constitution or Mexico. It says : The United States must assist the Republic on a sufficient mortgage of real estate, or we shall soon be compelled to annex the whole country in behalf of peace and in order to out off any further European interventions. General Scott, when he had the chance, recoiled from tho idea of absorbing among our people those mottled and motley Mexicans; but now, with negro suffrage about to te estab? lished in South Carolina, and political equality in Bichmond, why should Gen. Scott's old Virginia objection stand in the way of Mexico? To this complexion have we come at last 1 THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IN FRANCE. The decree of January 19, of the Emperor NAPO? LEON, promised to remove certain restrictions from the press. This authoritative announcement gave great joy to writers, editors, newspaper and book publishers, to say nothing of the lovers of liberty in every walk of life. No more '^earnings," no more interdicts, fines, etc. No longer necessary to print in Belgium and Switzerland, what is con-- . trabandin Paris. But it now seems somewhat doubtful, whether this rejoicing was not prema? ture. The Emperor's decree was brief, and the wording ord?Sarly enigmatical. The press-men wanted something more tangible than more shadowy promises. To obtain that, they took a very practical course. They held a meeting, and their "r?solutions" ware put in the ah apo of a me? morial to the Senate of France, in which they ask that they should not be put beyond the pale of law common to all others. They also express the hope that they will nut be treated worse than those whose occupation is murder and stealing. The exact wording of this remarkable petition is not yet known to us ; we only gather its tendency from short editorial references in the journals of Paris. The petition asks to make the writer of an article individually responsible, and not the publisher-a thing utterly inconsistent with the recognized prin? ciples of responsibility in this country and in Eng? land.. The Emperor promised that the reforms he had promised were to "crown the edifice of liberty," be? gun by his assumption of power in 1852, and by the Constitution of that year. This has elicited a re? ply from EMILE GIBABDIN'S paper, La Liberte, and it has given some severe knocks to NAPOLEON'S pretended "edifice of liberty." This it did in very few words, and by quotation mostly. It ref ors to the Constitution of 1852, forced upon the French people by NAPOLEON'S coup d'etat, where it is sol? emnly declared that "The Constitution recognizes confirms and guarantees those great principles proclaimed in 1789, and which are the foundation ci public law in France." There was a Constitution adopted by the Nation? al Assembly in 1789, which, among oth->r things, contained a declaration of rights, most or i? ema? nating from the pen of MIRABEAU. This declara? tion of righto embodied in italmoBt everything that the people had been struggling for. And to secure all this " forever," the following paragraph was inserted into that Constitution, the great prin? ciples of which are, by NAPOLEON'S own decree, "recognized, confirmed and guaranteed," at pre? sent in France : " The Constitution guarantees equally natural as well as civil rights to ?vii men, the right to speak, write, print and publish freely 'heir own thouglUs." The petition itself, and still more tho action it will give rise to, are looked forward to with great interest. Indians at the White House- S pe cc b. of thc , President. The delegations of the various Indian tribes, now in Washington on business with the Indian Bu? reau, assembled on Saturday morning at the In? dian Office, for the purpose of visiting their great father, the President. A few minutes before 12 Secretary BBOWNTNO and Commissioner Boor, with the agents and interpreters of the various tribes, and the Indians, numbering in all over ono hun? dred, about fifty of whom were in full Indian cos? tume, started from the Patent Office building and proceeded up F street to the Executive mansion. At the White House a large crowd, many of whom were ladies, had assembled previous to the arrival of the Indians, anxious to witness the interview. The Indians arrived about a quarter past 12 o'clock, when tile doors of the east room were thrown open and it was soon crowded. The Indians formed in line around the room as follows : The Chippewas delegation, numbering 1G, in full Indian costume, "Hole in the Day," principal chief. The Sioux tribe of the Upper Missouri, 12 in num ! ber, consisting of delegation* from Two Kettle Band, "Two Lance," chief; Lower Broies, "Iron Nation," chief; Minneconjon, "The Stoic," chief. Sans Arcs, "Yellow Hawk," chief; Blackfeet, "Lit? tle Black Foot," chief; J. R. Hanson, agent in charge. Santee Sioux delegation, in citizens' dress, numbering 15, "War-Be-Sba," chief; Warpe ton Sissiton tribe, of Minnesota, (friendly Sioux, ) numbering 21, "Gabriel Ravel," chief: Sacs and Foxes of Mississippi, and Sacs and Foxes of M?B sourv.5 in number, dressed in Indian costume, "Keokuk" and "Moles," chiefs. Four of tho Kaw delegation, in citizens' dressy Mazee and Potta? watomie Bands, 8 in number, "Mianco," chief. About half-past 12 o'clock the President appeared in the ^-astroom, accompanied by Secretary Brown? ing, and was briefly addressed by Mr. Bogy, Com? missioner of Indian Affairs, on belia'f of tho In? dians, and his sentences being from time tc time interpreted ti the red men, they frequently signi ?fied their approval by using the ejaculation "Ughl" The President replied to the Commis? sioners as follows : "I wish to say to these headmen and the repre? sentatives of the different tribes assembled here, through you, Mr. Commissioner, that they will find on the part of the Unitod States and their great father, as they call me, every disposition to cultivate peace and amity between the races. Al? though tho United States haB grown strong and powerful in ita march onward and your tribes have greatly diminished, there will be nothing left mi done that a great and powerful nation can do for the care ana protection of its wards. You may rest assured, tuen, that with the able and o? cien: head of the Indian Bureau and the Secretary of the Interior everything that can bo done will bo done to cherish the peaco, good feeling and amity which should exist oetween the various nations and races," - The speech haying heen intsrpreted, each one of the IndiaiiB was then presented to and took tho President by the hand. There wero present in the Eist Room the ladies of the Executive Mansion, the fami'y of Secretary Browning, Cols. Johnson, Mo?re, Long and Rives, of the President's staff, and'many others, INTERESTING .FROM LIBERIA. Arrival of the Golconda Letters received by the English West African mall steamer, at Liverpool, report the arrival at Capo Mount, December 27, and Monrovia, January 3, of the colonization packet Golconda, which sailed from Charleston, South Carolina, November 21, with six hundred emigrants for the young Afri? can republic. She had a quick and pleasant run, and landed her passengers in good health and spirits, except four, who died on the voyage. Of these two were infants, a young woman, and Rev. Alfred Alberts, of Newberry, South Carolina, a worthy minister of the Methodist Church, who died instantly fi om apoplexy the very morning af 1er the shipfeft Charleston. Rev. JOHN SEIS, who was a passenger on the Golconda, waB received January 2d by President Warner as Minister Resident and Consrd-General of the United States to that -(%vernment. The Vice-President, Cabinet, Judge of the Supreme Court, and the wholo diplomatic corps werb. in attendance on the occasion. The Legislature of Liberia adjournod January 8, after a session of five weeks. Among the acts pSssed was one increasing the grant of lands to emigrants from this country to three acres to a single adult, and twenty-five acres to each family. Tho general election, to be held on the first Tuesday in May next, for President, Yice-Presi dent, Senators and Representatives, was receiving considerable attention. Some of the delegates to a convention about to convene had waited upon President Warner, and requested him to accept a third nomination for the honorable position be now so worthily and usefully fills ; but he declined, as he prefers to retire to private life. Everything in Liberia appears to be in a state of improvement. Commerce is increasing. Henry W. Johnson, Jr., who proceeded from a barber's shop at Canandaigua, New York, to the bar of the Supreme Court of that State, says in a letter dated at Monrovia, where he is building up an extensive practice : "I intend to cultivate cof? fee, cocoa, ginger, pepper, ?CG. I have purchased lands onf he banks of the St. Paul's river, and will begin to cultivate them as soon as I can attend to the business myself. I can do this and also prac? tice law. Messrs. Moore and Johnson., leading lawyers of this city, are also farmers. My original impression is now strengthened and confirmed, by^ experience and observations, that the best inter? ests of the emigrant requires that he should rely chiefly upou the cultivation of the soil to supply present wants and to secure a future competency." FROM WASHINGTON. . [Special Correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette.] WASHINGTON, February 24.-The overshadowing iniquity of tho "Military Bill" as it finaUy passed Congress has obscured many of the subsequent enormities already acted upon, or in embryo in that body. A bill, to which I some time ago re? ferred, reported by the Judiciary Committee, was passed by the House last night by a strict party vote. It not only indemnifies every Federal offi? cer, military or civil, against responsibility for aU the outrages, robberies and cruelties of whatever character, perpetrated during or since tho war, but stops the execution of the judgment of the Supreme Court in respect to military Tribunals. 6i reply to a questioniy Mr. Oooi-'jr, of Tennes? see, Mr. Wilson, Chairman of the Committee, dis? tinctly declared that the bill would prohibit civil courts from reviewing the proceedings of military courts in Um past, and that it was intended to pre? vent, just sticit action as the Supreme Court had taken in the Milligan case. The other decision of the court-that in reference to the test oath-ap? pears to be disregarded on all sides: so it may be set down as settled that the judicial branch of the Government has been substantially overthrown, .not only as a co-ordinate and independent depart? ment of the Government, bnt as an expounder of ordinary law. The bill alluded to will doubtless receive the sanction of the Senate. A bill repudiating debts due by the Government to. Southern men wno sided with the Confederacy has been passed by both Houses. The injustice of this measure will bo more apparent when it is considered that such parties are held to a rigid accouut for even constructive liabilities. Indebt? edness to the Postnffififl .Dflpartiuent for .stamps, envelopes, etc., which under .the circumstances were of no possible value to any one, and which in no way tods: a dollar out of the pubho treasury, is set up and pavmcnt enforcd even where the parties are dead and their estates insolvent, by the unlawful withdrawal of mail facilities, so that the money may be wrung from entirely innocent people. Many other acts of similar character have either already been passed or are upon the tapis. I hear of a bill which has been prepared providing for ex? tensive confiscations of Southern landed estates. The idea that tho "Military BRI** is the crowning enormity, that it contains the ultimatum of the Radicals, that it is intended as a finahty, ia openly derided by all prominent members of the dominant part}'. They say they have applied the "entering wedge"-their ultimate design is to seize upon every inch of Southern soil. I understand that the Confiscation Bill I have alluded to was seen by Mr. Johnson, your Senator, and that this knowledge of the existence of such a project is alleged by him in palliation of his vote upon the Military BUL It must be obvious, however, that submission to^ the outrageous demands already made is a very inef? fectual way of preventing further enormities. An election for charter officers will take place to-morrow in Georgetown, in this District. This is the first occasion presented for the exorcise of indiscriminate negro suffrage in this country. No doubt the canvass will be conducted quietly and orderly. Effectual means have been adopted to prevent anY molestation to the negro voters. No such guards have ever before been devised any? where to guarantee t .o exercise of the elective franchise as those designed to be enforced in favor of the negroes to-morrow. The Superin? tendent of the Police has published a genes of rules, by which it is manifest that any white voter must deposit his ballot with the cudgel of the police officer over his head, and for the slightest departure from the severest gravity be put in imminent peril of a prison. I extract a few of these regulations of Superintendent Riohards : "Tho officerej are reminded that not only will the even of the community be upon them, but the whole country will note the manner in which they exorcise tho trust reposed in them." "No member of the force must take any part in the election, further than to deposit his own vote, and any member found distributing tickets, soli? citing votes for any candidate, or doing any other act indi 'ating a bias toward one or other of the parties to the election contest, which may have any tendency to influence the result, will bo treat? ed as having violated the Rules and Regulations." "Whon the judges of election shall have given their decision m any caso, that decision is final, and they will take immediate care that there is no obstacle offered to other persons desiring to vote. When a citizen has deposited his voto, or it has been decided that he is not entitled to a vote, the police officer will require him to move on, and no Dickering or quarrelling in the polling place must be for an instant tolerated.," "The line of voters will be kept always free from obstructions, and any attempt to break the line will be mot at any hazard by tho prompt arrest cf the party or parties making tho attempt." "No taunts, jests, or mouths will be tolerated for a moment towards any voter, and persons guilty of stich conduct mubt bo immediatelylurosted." There is a world of room for the exercise of po? lice discretion in this last rule. What ahall con? stitute "tauntB, jests, and mouths," is necessarily left to the judgment of these batoned gentry. The scone must of necessity be sublimely ridiculous, and how it is to bo expected that the muscles of the "mouth" are to be kept in a state ol' perfect quietude, it is difficult to be imagined. Even in an absolute monarchy it is said that "a cat can*look at a king." But in this, the "greatest and freest Republic tho world ever saw," a citizen is not per? mitted to smile at a negro even with his eyes askance. As to the result of this election, or indeed of any to take place here in the future, I entertain a very decided indifference, and presume your read? ers" are in the same happy state of mind. The candidates on both sides, I learn, are of that class of men to whose cupidity or stupidity the present state of things may, in a great measure, be as? cribed. It IB not now probable that the session of Con? gress which will begin at the closo of tbe present, will be a protracted one. Several very trouble? some billa (among them that of the tariff) Galtet the happy family, and an early adjournment is thought to be essential to their "continued harmo? ny-that is, if a postponement of the question of impeachment shall also be considered advisable as a further guarantee of unity. THE MILITARY BILL.-If tho present government of Virginia is not absolute, but only provisional, its predecessors ?ince the 17th of April, 1861, had far less color of authority. A very interesting re? sult to Virginians follows, of course, to wit: that tho act passed May 13th, 1862, entitled "An Act giving thc consent of thu Legislature ol' Virginia to the formation aud erection of a new State within tho jurisdiction of this Stato," is void, and of no force or effect. If order shouid ever arise out of tho "chaos come again," this question must, in some form, be raised. Reverdy Johnsons opinion about it would be a study.-Richmond Examiner. SOSIE malicious person or persons effected an outrance into the chamber of the Board of Alder? men in N?W York eity recently and cut a large gash in euch of thc full-length portraits of Alexan? der Hamilton and John Jay. The portraits hung in the lobby, and were probably selected by the miscreant as being more convenient than any others for his purpose. The pictures were painted by Weimar, and aro generally considered fine works of art. The damage done them can, it is thought, be repaired. A writer assorts that the one magnificent speci? men of the silver ore of Idaho at the Paris Expo? sition will of itself, when shown to the working multitudes, set in motion westward, across tho At? lantic, from ten to twenty thousand errigrants yearly. A TALK WITH THE PRESIDENT. Thu Principles, Motives and Objects tlint ? Control Him-His Views OJ: the Sherman Iniquity, dec. The editor of the New York Citizen, Coi HAL PD?TC. publishes in the last issue of his paper the outlines of a conversation he had with the Presi? dent on the 20th instant (last Wednesday). The reader will perceive that the President maintains the ground he has all along held, and will there? fore condada that the late rumors attributing to hun a willingness to compromise with the Radicals are without foundation. We quote Gol. HALPIHE'S letter: . "The trouble is," said the President, "that in? stead of mqiiiring what we are and our present powers, we insist on making ourselves something else, and inventing new powers which it cannot be for our benefit to wield. We make the mistake of becoming inventors, instead of applying ourselves to become discoverers. "There are now a score of plans of reconstruct? ing the Southern States before tho country, and the public mind is unduly agitated as to which shall be adopted. Amendments are proposed to the Constitution, amendments of every possible character; whereas, if people, instead of in? venting new things, would seek to discover what already exist, they would find all the powers they need to accomplish their legitimate wishes in the Constitution as it stands. ..The Constitution guarantees a republican form of government to every State, and says that no State shall be deprived of its representation in Congress without its own consent. Well, on the other hand, some of our people say that they will not allow men who participated in the rebellion -to be their peers, and to have voices in the great oouncil or the nation. They, therefore, demand a Constitutional Amendment on this head; andjso likewise for every other evil that they can find or laney to be existing. "But does not the Constitution itself provide a remedy for this very evil, where it says, that each House of Congress shall be absolute judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members ? May not each House, under this, while rejecting any prominent ex-rebel or man obnoxious for disloyalty who shall be sent from any of the so-called Confederate States, at the same time not deprive the State of representation, but merely say : 'This man we reject under our constitutional prerogative. We do not, however, deny the right of your State to representation, whenever you shall send us a proper man ?' "See, for a moment, what would he the effect of this course. We-at once divide the public opinion of the State so treaded-at present made a unit undo;- the ban of ^discriminate exclusion. We hold out a great reward for the election of loyal men, and attach a penalty, which the people of the State must themselves impose, for the restraint of active participants in the late rebellion. There are scores and hundreds of ambitious men of loyal record in every State who would then be. naturally forced to the surface, but under the. present sys? tem of ^discriminate exclusion it can make no difference whether loyal or disloyal Senators and Representatives shall be sent. "Even let us take an extreme case. Suppose the State of Georgia Bhould send Alexander H. Steph? ens to the Senate, and that the Senate should say: <We acknowledge tho right of Georgia to represen? tation; we acknowledge that the credentials of Mi". Stephens are made out in tho proper form; but in view of his connection with the rebellion, and for? mer connection with the United States, we-in the exercise of our constitutional privilege-do not choose to accept Mr. Stephens as . our peer; and must insist that some man of loyal record shall be sent in his place.' , "Would not the Georgians at once commence looking around for some one who could satisfy these conditions? And would not. an immediate impetus be given toward bu?ding up a loyal senti? ment in that State? ' The wounds our country has suffered are not vital, though the depletion of blood was great. There were none, of the great bones broken, for the frame worh bf the Constitu? tion still remains, and is effloient, if .we could only abstain from further irritating surgery, The best healing in surgery is that which the doctors de? scribe as by the first intentiou,' or force of na? ture; but our violent doctors in Congress-and this is spoken with no disrespect to that body, but as a fact of observation-will still insist on tearing open the wounds afresh, in order to force a faster healing by caustic applications and the actual cau? tery. "What we need-what we vitally need, both for payment of the national debt and to enable us io assume a proper foreign policy, too long, I confess, delayed-is harmony, mternal peace, and a condi? tion of restored confidence that will draw capital to develop the industrial ref our jes of the South, and to assist the Southern planters in reorganiz? ing the shattered relations of labor. We need all this to make ?the national burdens endurable. Every bale of cotton, every barrel of sugar, every tierce of rice, every hogshead of tobacco raised in the ex-rebel Stateg,*inust furnish a proportionate reduction to the taxation of the North; and must go, so far AS il may be worth, toward restoring an equilibrium iii pur foreign exchanges, which must be the first fundamental step towards a return to the hard money basis instead of paper curr en cy. "is for myself, my convictions in politics are things that I cannot change' to suit the expedi? encies of this or any other moment. They have grown with my growth, they have strengthened with my strength, and they are to mo only less sacred, and as much to be preserved, as my re? ligious faith. Attempts are made to make il ap? pear that my worlds at different times have been inconsistent; but were not the circumstances in consjst-ent under which the apparently contradic? tory words were spoken or opinions given. Buring the high storm of rebellion, or in the first heat of its subsidence, words were proper to be said which would be utterly improper in time of peace. We put a broken limb in splints to hold it quiet, whether the patient will or no; but to insist on holding the splints there.when the limb is restored, or when a further examination shall have proved that the wounds, though deep were only flesh wounds leaving the bones uninjured-this would not be wise surgery, but cruelty; not statesman? ship, but barbarous usurpation. "I am accused of usurping power, when my whole life has been one contmualbattle against the tendency of bureaucracy or aristocracy-the con? centration of power in the hands of the few. I was accused or usurping power for my veto of the first Fro edmon's Bureau Bill, although that veto was a voluntary puttirjgjatay frc rp me of a patron? age and power nT?r^un?rmtei than waa-ever pre? viously offered to any President I I am for holding all possible power in the hands of the people per? manently ; I am in favor of always finding the minimum of power necessary to be delegated to any officials, or to the General Government, and only allowing that minimum to be given. "But look, even at this bill of Senator Sherman's, and see what it does, or proposes doing? It is only less objectionable than the House bul, in that it does not openly supersede tho President, repre? senting the civil power, in favor of the General commanding the armies of the United States. But it violates the constitutional provision guarantee? ing a republican form of government, and substi? tutes a military despotism over'the lately revolted States. It disfranchises nearly all the intelligent whites .and gives universal suffrage to the igno? rant blacks, thus overriding the provision that each State shall determine who shalt be entitled to ita suffrage. It also nullifies the constitutional amendments, by practically declaring the* existing governments of the Southern States illegal, so that their adoption of the amendments must be without validity. "Everywhere there is a tendoncy to substitute the 'government' as tho source of power, instead of the 'people? and it is against this tendency I am at issue. The Sherman Dill denies the writ of habeas corpus, whenever such shall be the plea? sure of an arbitrary military commander, in whose power to rule over them the people of the subju? gated district shall have no voice. . It also ?strikes down the right of early trial by a civil court, and [-by a jury of the peers of tho accused. In fact, it fundamentally uproots all those popular and con? stitutional guarantees of freedom which were ex? torted from King John by the Barons of England in the signature of Magna Cluxrta-that basis of our common law. "It is for the principles of our common law and common justice, and for the rights of the whole people as against what is called the 'government,' that I am to-day contending. It is for this I am called a 'usurper,' while tho fact is, it is because I will not usurp power, nor haye excessive power thrust upon me, if I can help it, thai this war has been made upon me. ? challenge the production of a single act in my whole adininiBtration which has aimed to increase my authority as President. Even in constructing provisional governments for the Southern States-also denounced as one of my 'flagrant usurpations'-the object evidently was to divest thc national government of its centralizing power, and restore that power as nearly and promptly as circumstances would permit, to the people of the various ex-rebel States. "0?he South is to-day in* our hands, a beaten, helpless, well nigh hopeless country, and the pow? er we wield Bhould be neld as a Bacred trust. We should not use it vindictively. I will not argue because we profess to be Christians, and these men are our brothers; but, if on no higher ground, then upon the ground of self interest. AU the legisla? tion proposed for the South, proposes to multiply offices at the expense of the General Government, while not adding the productions of Southern in? dustry to the general stock for the redemption of our national debt and the support of cur annual burdons. My object is to reduce the assumed and really usurpational powers forced on the General Government during the war, powers that were then essential to meet a despera^ emergency; but which cannot much longer be continued without vitiation the whole fabric and theory of our repre? sentative and popular system. "What Cougress in its wisdom may see flt to do, I cannot say : but my own course is clear. I shall exercise every function of my office in defence of the people and their rights, according to the beBt judgment that Heaven has endowed me with. I ahall exercise all laws scrupulously, and perhaps most scrupulously those which have been oassed against my judgment and over my veto. But for au such legislation, Congress must bear the undi? vided responsibility ; and the day cannot be tar distant in which the terrible logic of events will force the people to ask themselves seriously, and not in passion, 'On which side lay the tendency to usurpation ?'
