To (he. H&use-of- Representatives: .*-? .(
, A -careful examination of the bill

gross, entitled . "Au Act to continue
ia force ?nd'to amerrd an Act to esta?
blish a Hujrt?ui f?br4tbo vvel?rf-.of"*frefIJ
tnen ?nd refugees, and, for oth*t pnV
?pose*," has convinced me that mer
legislation.which it prtfposewwfmM
not be consistent with the Welf;u?o"of
the cohn try. aud that it falls clearly
wit hi u tho rearons assigned in;my
^uessagb ot the K)th (rf February last,
irctumv?g without my signature a
similar measure, which originated in
the ?erja-te. lt is'hot my purpose to"1
-repent tho objections which 1 tuen
urged. They are yet. fawk in "your
recollection, aud can be readily o.vn
mined as a part 'of the records of one
blanch of thc National 1 jegislature.
Adhering to the principles set forth
lu that message, Enow re-affirm them,
and tlie lint* -of policy therein indi?
cated.
Tin? only ground upon which this
kind of legislation can be justified is
that of the war-making power. The
Act of which this bill was inlewJed as
amendatory was passed during the
existence of tin; war. liv its own
provisions il is to torminute within
ono year- from tho cessation of hos.
t>ilities and tim declaration of peace,
ft is~ therefore yet in existence, and
it L? likely that it will eontiuue in
t'oreO as long as the fivrdmen 'may
require the benefit ol' its provisions.
It will certainly remain in operation
as a law until some months subse?
quent to the meeting of tlie next ses?
sion of Congress, when, if experience
sluill make evident the necessity pi
additional legislation, the two House*
will haw ample .time to mature and
p-'ss the requisite measures. In the
nu .intime, t lie questions arise, why
should this war-u??asui:e be continued
beyond the p-nod designated i:i *>hi
original Act? And why, in linn- ol
peace, should military tribunals la
created to continue until each "Stab'
shall be tully restored in its eonstftn
tional relations to the Government,
and shall bc duly represented in th?
Congress of the'.United States?" ii
was manifest will; respect to tlie Ac
approved ^Starch -\, 1865, that pru
dence and wisdom alike" required thai
jurisdiction ^vcr all cases concerning
tim free enjoyment o? the-mtnnmtiei
and rights oX citizenship, as well iv
tho protection of person and pro
party, should be conferred upon so mi
tribunal in every State or distrie
where the ordinary course of judicia
proceeding was interrupted by tin
rebellion, and until tho same shouli
bo fully restored. "At that time
therefore, an urgent necessity existe*
for the passage of some such law
Now, however, war has substantial!;

practical operations of the Bureau ii
many of the States show that, ii

lt is proper to stab' that, in ease
of this character, investigations huv

fonder punished, whenever his gui!
has been ?atisf?ctoriiy - estahlishet
As another reason against the neees
si ty of tho legislation contemplate
by this measure, reference may !>
liad to the "civil rights bill," now
law of the land, ?ind which will b
faithfully executed, aa long ns it sha
remain unrepealed, ?and may not ll
declared unconstitutional by courl
of competent jurisdiction. By th:
Act, it is enacted "that, all porsoi:

subject to any foreif<n power, exclut
iug Indians not taxed, are horeb
declared to be citizens of thc Unite

shall be subject to like pnnishmer.
pains and penalties, and to mu
other, any law, statute, ordinanc
regulation or custom to tho c.'.it ra
notwithstanding." .
By the provisions of the Aet, ii
protection is afforded, through t
District Courts of the United Statt
to all persons injured, and whosep
v?leges, as there declared, are in ai
way impaired, and heavy pen:,lt
are denounced against the pers
who wilfully violates the law. 1 ne
not state that that law didnptjrecci
my approval; yet, its remedied arel
preferable to those proposed in t
present bill; tho one being civil a
the other military.
By the sixth section of the 1

citizens of the United States aro b
deprived of their property in a in
contrary to that provision of theC
st itutiou which declines that no]

subsequent legislation can give va
ty to the right thnsaeqnired as aga
the original claimants. Thc atten
of Congress is, therefore, invited
more maturo consideration of
measures proposed in these sect
of the bill.
In conclusion. 1 ugain urge ti

The European Ws?r.
We-make a few extracts from tho
London newspapers on thc late war
?news. Tim London Times, of the
lt?, says:
The war in Bohemia is awful work.
Thc Austrians, we nre told", lott
15,000 nu n in their various encoun?
ters with the army .under the Grown
Prince of Prussia?*they had 25,000
put hors rje eor?b'at in their vniu at?

army under Prince Frederick
Charles-altogether, 40,'HMJ men in
five days. Tin- prisoners* arc com?
puted at 15,000, leaving 25,000 for
the dead and wounded. Whole bat?
talions have been annihilated; whole
corps-thc Clam-Gallae, tho Gabions:
and tue Saxon corns, no less than thc
Kaliek brigades-arc so utterly broken
np as to bp unable to re-appear in

army has fallen back behind tin
Elbe, taking np its position between
the fortresses ol Josephstadt and
kvoniggratz, greatly disheurtertied sue
disorganized, according to the ac
count of Austrian oflicors prisoner!
in Prussian hands. Tho desertion o
Italian soldiers from the Vttstriai
ranks is on the increase.
Those are merely Prussian state
ment:;; but, however much we maj
feel disposi d to charge them v.iti
exaggeration, however much we mai
wonder why the Prussians did no
rather give us au account of th<
casualties muong themselves, wo hav<
no hesitation in believiug that th?
havoc has been tremendous on bot i
sid.-s. Indeed, every bulletin or lot
ter proceeding from cither cami
bears witness to the extreme valo
displayed, and allows that ?ucees
was, in every instance, purchased a
a very heavy sacrifice. And yet
horrible as the carnage has hrtherti
been, it must he looked upon as ;
mere prelude to tho pitched hatti
now unavoidable, in which 250,00
nu n will probably bo < tigaged o:
either side. The va-t strength t

struction and locomotion winch al

have a tendency to condense into
few months, .au I into one or tw
Titanic actions, all the horrors whicl
in former ages, stretched over yean
campaigning, though we have tl:
recent experience of Ann rica to coi
vince us that the magnitude of
struggle is security against i'
continuance.

The Journal of Common.*, alluding
to thc fact that no monthly return
was made on tho ltst inst., of the
Condition cd' the Treasury, say?s:
Thc omission by Secretary McCul
Ioch of his usual monthly report of
thc: operations and condition of the j
Treasury, luis excited much curiosity .
and called- out no little inquiry in
regard lo thc movements ..! the
Department. No satisfactory n ason
was osssigncu for withholcUng the j
official summary due on tin- 1st inst.,
but from what we have seen in tins j
market, it is not difficult to conjecture
the motive for such secrecy. Never
before Ju the history ?d' a : .potable '
government were tin-re sue's private
operations in national nuances as j
?nive taken place here within the last j
six wee ks. Large pr?vale sales have j
Leen made ?d' new tive-tweuty bonds;
large private purchases have been
made of temporary obligations of the
Government, and large "swops'" of ?
one security for another upon terms,
which, ii' correctly repotted, must be
considered in the b'giit of a job. ls
it not possible to Recuse a chango, in :
this policy? There will not bc want- '
in# those, who will contend that such i
im m ouse secret operations between
the HWianmy and its favorites arc
carried on solely with u view of
advancing the highest in Unrests of the
country, lint such a claim lia- no
foundation in reason. Lt this wore
the motive it would not justify the
course, but no unpiojudiced observer
eau fail to see the corrupting inlluenee ?
of th whole proceeding, lr cannot
be wise to continu..' ii, and if a decent '
respect ?'or public opinion will uot
induce the Secreta;;.' te? adopt a
diff?rent system, - nue legislative
