THE PRESIDENT’S VETO.
The telegraphic announcement from Wash
ington that the President had vetoed
the bill enlarging the powers of the Freed-
men'8 Burean has not taken the people by
surprise. It has been known for weeks
past that if. UDder the circumstances, he and
the Congressional majority should agree
upon this anomalous measure, it would be
by his surrender of his position, which had
been so clearly defined in bis recent inter
view with a Northern Senator.
Wc feel well assured that the conservative
masses of the country, who desire the re
storation of all the States to national unity
and haimony, will hail with gratification
this strong evidence of political hostility
between the President and the Repub.ican
majority in Congress. This feeling will
spring from a deep conviction that, in no
conjunction likeiv to occur, can they act
together,but to tbe extreme oppression of tho
Srmi hern people, and the overthrow or free
government. The revolutionary alms of
this dominant and domineering faction are
now perfectly understood by the President
and the people ; and all history teaches
that such a party never compromises. As
the acceptance of terms of accommodation
would involve a confession of error and
dissolution of the party, the attainment c
such « result, however desirable for the
peace of the country, is regarded as imprac
ticable, and therefore the Radicals will con
tienc in their excesses until they provoke
resistance that shall defeat and destroy them,
or they must be allowed to go forward till
they meet self-destruction in the riot of sue
ce.-s.
The exercise of the veto power indicates
that the President still adheres tenaciously to
the course that he started upon, and that the
radical tendencies of the extreme men of the
parly which elected him have not succeeded
in drawing him after them. And, further, it
shows that he is not afraid to make an issue
with his violent opponent* upon the recon
struction questions. He believes “that if
the policy which some are persisting in at the*
preten: time were carried out, it would result
in great danger to the colored man.” He is,
therefore, opposed to the District of Columbia
suffrage hill; the representation amendment
the equal rights bill, and all other measures
calculated to force negro suffrage upon the
Southern States. Tbe antagonism so plainly
developed by events of the highest signifi
cance. portends beyond all question a violent
rupture between tbe President and his quon
dam friends. But the importauce of this
veto act of the President goes even further
than its reference to the relations between
Congress and himself. This practical issue
is only the starting point—the fountain head
of a more general political commotion. The
people are now called upon to take sides ac
cordiug to their convictions of duty, and
at the approaching elections the politics
battle will be toucht. The only alternative
now left the President is an appeal to the
people. To that tribunal he turns with confi
dcrce. It has been truly said that he has
never mistaken tile people; that no one
knows belter than he how to reach their
judgment. Lat US hope that, fully realizing
the gravity of the occasion and tbe magni
tude of the impending issues, he may be
successful in the great struggle to rescue the
coumry from the dreadful calamities into
which it is so rapidly drifting. Great evils
may come upon the country before the vital
questions at issue are finally disposed of, but
we must not despair of ultimate success.
Despair i3 not the part of patriotism nor the
spirit of true courage. It may be that we
have reached the height of the storm, and
th3t, having spent its Chief force, there will
be a reactionary movement in favor of jus
tice, the law and the constitution.
NAPOLEONIC DIPLOMACY.
V7e remarked a few days since that the
a'tcmpt made by many American journals to
derive comfort and confidence from the re
cent address of the French Emperor in regard
to the withdrawal of French troops from
Mexico, was scarcely warranted by tbe tenor
of that State paper, and that judging from
the pertidiousness that characterized his in
tercourse with the late Confederate authori
ties, he was juggling with Mr. Seward on
the Mexican question. To demonstrate the
correctness of our views upon the subject
we have only to call attention to an extract
from a despatch from Napotaon’a foreign Sec-
re! ary io the French Minister resident at
Washington, in which, after announcing that
he was acting under explicit instructions
from thy Emperor he says :
Wu return to the principle of non-intervention, end
from the moment we accept it as our rule of conduct,
our interest end honor require ua to demand its equal
application by alL Belying upon the equitable spirit
of the Washington Cabinet, We expect from it tbe as
surance that the American people will conform tq the
av of non-intervention, which they invoke, by main,
tabling a strict neutrality with regard to Mexico.
Wnen you shall have informed, me. of the resolution
of the Aaerlcau Government in this matter, I shall
be in a i/osttion to acquaint you with the result if
our negotiations with ttie Emperor Maximilian jin-
the return of our troops.
It is seen from the italicised sentence that
the returu of the troops to France is an event
contingent npou the assurance of non-inler-
v-ntiou by the Washington Government and
the uncertain result of negotiations with
Maximilian; the meaning of which is, when
stripped of all diplomatic disguise, that the
Imperial gamester will abide by his Mexican
protege as long as the latter may deem it ad
visable for the security of his position. The
exposition thus far of tbe Mexican imbroglio
exposes Napoleon in tbe attitude of a con
summate master of intrigue and deception.
OocsTKRFKir CuaaEHCT.—The Charleston
papers mention the fact that a very great
quantity of counterfeit fifty and twenty-five
cent bills are in circulation in that city. The
Courier says tUe bill can very easily be de
tected. They are much dimmer in impres
sion than the genuine, and the paper upon'
which they are printed is very inferior and
thin, while that of the genuine is of the best
kind. Upon a little close inspection there
will be no' difficulty whatever in detecting
tbe spurious-
As they will no doubt be put in circulation
here, it would be well to be on the look out
for them. '

are landed in Mexico, are to be furnished by Napo
leon.
The resignation of Secretary Harlan is the current
topic of conversation. He is known to have expressed
to a western Congressman, of his political persuasion,
his intention not to remain in office much longer.
Those who are in the most eligible position for under
standing the- President’s mind upon the subject, as
sume that he is only awaiting the ostracism of Tonne: -

construction Committee, to invite such of the Cabinet
ministers as are in known accordance with that deci
sion, to vacate their places.

THE PRESIDENT VETOES THE FBEESMEN’S BILL.
New York, February 19.—The President’s veto
message on the Freedmen’s bill has jost been received
It ia very elaborate, covering upwards of thirty pages
of foolscap. He is opposed to the bill in every shape
and form. He believes many of its features are un
constitutional, and says that no such legislation for the
South ought to be adopted while tbe Southern States
are not represented. He thinks there ia too much sp
linting power in the bill confided to the President
ie enters into a full discussion of his reconstruction
policy, ml thinks the southern :e.jiesent itives ought
be admitted.
THE FRENCH DESPATCHES.
The tenor of the official despatches from France
relative to the withdrawal of the French army from

ditional on the establishment of tbe nee Empire and

to amend the Constitution of tbe United States go aa
t > exclude from offices of the Government those who
mty hereaiter engage in rebellion or conspiracy
against the Government. Referred to tbe Judiciary
Committee.
Mr. Brownell introduced a joint resolution declar
ing i hat the loyal States or those which resented the
rebellion are sufficient to adapt the amendment to the
Constitution. Referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Mr. Longyear of Miffiigin, offered the f-litW.ng
resolutions: First resolution resolves that, in the lan
guage of the proclamation of tho President of May 29,
1865, the rebellion which eras waged by a portion of
the people of the United States against the properly
constituted authorities of the government thereof, in
tbe most violent and revolting form, bnt whose armid
and organized forces have now been almost entirel; r
overcome, has in the revolutionary progress depiiv u
the people of the States in which it was organized of
all civil government. This was agreed to by a vote of
yeaa 120, nays 36.
Resolved, That whenever the people of any State are
thus deprived of all civil government, it becomes the
duty of Congress by appropriate legislation to enable
them to organize a State government, and in the lan
guage of the Constitution, to guarantee to each Stats
republican form of government
This was agreed to, yeas 101, nays 33.
GEN. LEE BEFORE THE COMMITTEE OF CONGRESS.
New York, Feb. 19.—Of Gen. Lee’s interview with
the Reconstruction Committee, the World’s dispatch
says: He was quite reticent and did not volunteer any
remarks beyond proper answers to tbe questions. He
said so far as be had opportunities for learning, the
people of Virginia had accepted the result of the war in
good faith, and were anxious for a restored amity in
the Union. When pressed by a question, he is said to
have intimated that tbe feeling for the Union was
much stronger just after the close of the war than
now, for there appeared to him to be some impatience
among the peoplo that mon who bad not been identi
fied with tho war in the South, should be prevented
from representing the 8tates in Congress. He de
clared that there was a disposition to treat the freed-
mea kindly, os well for their interests as for the peo
ple. He expressed a decided hope that the Govern
ment might endure for all time, and regarded the
course of President Johnson and- General Grant to
ward the South as liberal and humane.

lard was officially informed by au officer of General
Grant's staff that tho order would be revoked; the
course of the paper in future will bo leas liable to ob
jection. Gen. Grant will, however, take care that no

of disloyalty and hostilities to the Government in any
of its branches.

Washington, Feb. 19.—Senate.—Mr. Wilson intro
duced a concurrent resolution to disarm and disband
tbe militia of ths rebellious State*. Mr. Wilson re
ceived letters from Generals Thomas. Swayoe, Hart-
euff and others in charge of the freedmen in the Gulf
States, which represented that these was danger of the
extinction cf the negro race, and the division of north
ern men, if the militia should be superceded by
United States forces.
Mr. Salisbury objected to the introduction of the res
olution, and said the State militia of these States
could no more be disbanded by an act of Congress
than oould the militia of Massachusetts.
rqplied *hey : wure rebels recently
disarmed, they were now armed again, and they are
aa much rebels now aa before, and Congress baa the
power to disarm ruffians and traitors.^^^
‘ introduced an amendment to the re-
to afi citizens of
