A FALSE STEF.
Sweet, thou hast trod on a heart.
Fasts! there’s a world (til! of men,
And 'women as lair its thou art
Must do such a thing now and then.
Thou only, hast Pepped unaware,
Mali or not one ran impute;
And why should a heart have been there ;
In the way of a fair woman’s foot ?
It was not a stone that could trip,
Nor was it a thorn that could rend ;
l*nt np thy proud under lip !
’Twits merely the heart of a friend.
And yet, peradventure, one day,
When sitting alone at the glass,
Kemarking the bloom gone away.
Where the smile in its dimpleineut was,
And seeking around thee in vain
From hundreds who ttattered before,
Such a Word as "Oh, hot in the main
l>o 1 hold thee less precious, but more!”
Thou’ll sigh, very like on thy part:
‘•Of ail J have known or can know,
i wish 1 had only that heart
1 trod upon ages ugn !"

«ien. Pope’s OUi.ial Corj-e*i»o»«ie»ie.
We find in our Northern exchanges, of
llie 13tb, abstracts of the voluminous cor
respondence between the Government and
Jhe Military Commanders in the South,
transmitted to Congress in compliance
with a resolution ; and we copy the sum
mary made of Gen. Pope’s correspond
ence :
From the Third District there is more
of interest. The papers submitted throw
some further light upon the difficulty be
tween Gen. Pope and Gov. Jenkins, which
nearly c: used the latter’s removal. It
seems that after Gov. Jenkins’ address to
the people of Georgia, in which he advised
non-action under the Mild "y Kill, and
during his absence in Washington where
he was urging - injunction applications,
Oeu. Pope went so far as to write an order
deposing him from office, without naming
his successor, which lie forwarded to Gen.
Grant foi his approval. Before receiving
any reply, however, Governor Jenkins
returned and made such explanations and
pledges to Gen. Pope that he withdrew
ihe oontemiilaU and order. Gen. Grant lia<l
forwarded the order to the Secretary of
Wai* with the following endorsement:
Respectfully forwarded To the Secretary
of War for his information. The tele
graphic dispatch herein inclosed shows
that Gov. Jenkins, of Georgia, has given
such pledges to the Commander of the
Third District as to induce him to with
hold for the present the suspension of the
Governor. The conduct of Gov. Jenkins
demonstates, however, how possible it is
for discontented civil officers of recon
structed states to defeat the laws of Con
gress, if the j lower does not rest with the
District Commanders to suspend their
functions in some way. It seems clear to
ane that power is given in the lull for the
more efficient government of the rebel
States, to use or not, at pleasure of Com
mander, flic provisional machinery set
up without the authority of Congress in
States to which the Reconstruction A etap
plies. There being doubt, however, on
that point, i respectfully ask an early
opinion on the subject. If the power of
removal does not exist with district com
manders, then it will become necessary
to take refuge under that section of the
bill which authorizes military commis
sions. U. S. Grant, “General.”
Under date of June 5, referring to the
Mobile riot, Gen. Pope telegraphs to Gen.
Grant that be feels satisfied that a change
of authority in Mobile was essential to the
peace of the city in future, and to the best
interests of the people. And says;
“I trust these changes will not bo inter
ferred with. The very fact of the inter
position of the President in affairs of so
unsettled a place as Mobile and reinstate
ment of these deposed officials would cre
ate such alarm and excitement that I
should feel bound at once to declare Mar
tial Law in that city, and entirely set
aside tho civil authority.”
The surratl Alibi.
The following is the evidence which the
telegraph informs us establishes an alibi
in the Surratt case It is complete. Tho
witnesses are unimpeachable. No one
neems to doubt their veracity :
Charles B. Stewart, sworn : Witness
Jives at Elmira, New York ; is a merchant
tailor; was engaged in that business in
3,805; was in the store April Id, 18135, early
in tho morning; a man came in that
morning with a peculiarly cut coat —a
nkeleton coat, made without linings and
plaited at the belt, be remained from ten
to twenty minutes; the attention of wit
ness was particularly drawn to him ; wit
ness has seen that man again to-day, at
the jail, ami the prisoner at the bar witness
believes to be the man ; witness lias but
little doutiWof that.
Cross-examtfieij.: Witness is satisfied
the prisoner is the man, and that It was on
the 13th or Mill of April,because witness’s
partner was in New York on the 13th and
14th day of April, ami it was on one of
those days that the prisoner at the bar
came in.
The above witness proves that Surratt
was iu Elmira on the 15th of April. Mr.
Lincoln was assassinated late at night on
the 14th of April. The next witness testi
fies that Surratt was still in Elmira on the
45th of April, and early in the morning.
John Cass, sworn : Witness lives in
Elmira, New Volk, and is assessor of the
city ; in is* 15 kept a clothing store at the
corner of Mortimer and Baldwin streets ;
on the morning of April 13, 1805, heard of
the death of the President, and went down
to the store; the telegraph office was op
posite witness’s store, and witness went
over to learn the details of the news some
time after tlie news came; and witness
went back to the store and ordered it to be
closed up; by that time the operator had
placed a bulletin up, and witness saw a
man over the street who, witness thought
was a friend of witness, from Canada : this
man came over to witness’s store and ask
ed for a peculiar kind of shirt; witness
didn’t have the kind ite wanted; witness
remarked tljat we had received some very
sad news tiiat morning; the man replied,
as witness first thought, disrespectfully;
witness has seen the man since, at the jail
here ; the prisoner at the bar is tho man.
Cross-examined by Mr. Merrick: Wit
ness has talked with the prisoner, at the
jail; witness believe him to be the man
that witness saw at his store, and witness
thought -o the moment witness saw him
at the Jail.
Frank 11. Atkipson, sworn : Witness
resides in Elmira, New York; witness is
an alderman there ; witness is book-keeper
for Stewart <fe Otlert; remember on the
13th or 14th of April, 18*35, a man came in
with a coat plaited at the waist, fastened
around with a belt, and of a dark gray
color; he remained sonic ten minutes after
witness went in ; he was talking with our
cutter ; witness lias a book as a reference
to the date ; it was the time one of the
house was in New York; tho entry in tire
cash-book of his taking money to go with
is 13th, and the date of his return is 15th,
pf April, 18U5, Witness thinks lie has
seen that man since, and no doubt that the
prisoner at the bar is the man; witness
has conversed witli hirnat the jail, and his
manner impressed witness as to his recog
nition.
Joseph Carroll,sworn : Witness lives in
Elmira, New York.; lived therein April,
48*35; was cutter in Stewart & Offert’s ;
witness remembers a man coming iu the
store about the time of the assassination ;
lie came in, aud witness waited on him;
he had on a mixed coat with a breast and
back piece, and plated at th> sides; it was
a coat not usually worn ; witness at first
thought be was a Canadian ; his coat was
fastened at the neck, and at the waist he
wore a hell; lie remained from ten to
twenty minutes, and wanted t<> get cloth
jug ; we didn’t have the goods he inquired
for; the date was the 13th w hen he came
in first, ami also the next day—tho 14th;
Mr. Otlert went to New York on the Pith
and returned on the 15th; witness has
since seen the man ; saw him at the jail;
the prisoner is the man.

In a recent letter to Admiral Semmes, he
states, to the shame be it spoken of hun
dreds of our countrymen who have hasten

oppressors of their country, that not one

prisonment. We can not aud should not
wonder at the efforts of liis jailors to hu
miliate us, when we set them so fair a
copy by humiliating ourselves.
Bah! —The editor of the Pittsburg Jie
\ public must have a fat place under his
Serene Feebleness, President Johnson, or
lie thinks the people of the South very
easily fooled. What does lie mean by sueh
stull - as tlie following"? It reminds us
very much of that heroic individual who
warned his adversary in these words :
“ Sir, you have kicked me down the stairs,
you have pulled my nose, you have kiss
ed my wife beware how you rouse the
British lion.’’
In reply to a question of the Mobile
i, “ Have we a President ?” and
wishing for an Andrew Jackson, the
Pittsburg Jbpublic says:
The President will not strike until lie is
prepared and can make the blow effective;
I if possible lie will endeavor to get along
without convulsing the country, but if
peace cannot be secured without desperate
means, he will use them ; and when in l
does, the blow will prove effective, and
the shackles will drop from both the
North and South. The only fear we have
is that when Andrew Johnson does strike
he will punish those who have been en
deavoring to destroy the constitution and
the country with severity. It is better
tiiat the South should sutler foratime than
that the whole country should be destroy
ed. They will find that there is a strong,
brave man to take Radicalism by Hie
throat, and (bat that man will prove not
only the equal, hut the superior ot An
drew’ Jackson, and make the world know
that we HAVE A President.
ISTot Surprising.
It seems the knowing ones of the baud
of conspirators who control legislation in
the Rump House of Representatives, are
fearful of the truth in reference to this
question of how prisoners were treated, on
both aides, during the war. They passed,
without difficulty, the resolution alluded
to yesterday, but would not entertain an
other offered by au Ohio Democrat, to in
vestigate the treatment of Confederate
prisoners of war. It was declared, as the
sense of the House, that no committee
would be ordered, and no action taken un
less specific charges were made, as all the
world knew the “ rebel” prisoners had
been well treated! How characteristic! —
We are not surprised at this, at all, but so
far as it rests with us, our humble efforts
shall be devoted to bringing forward spe
cific charges. There are plenty of men
living in Georgia to-day who can swear to
cruelty from starvation, from wounds and
bruises, and from the innumerable acts of
petty tyranny that cowardly souls riot in.
We call upon them to put their evidence
iu proper form, and send it to the editor of
this paper. He will see to it that the sin
cerity, at least, of these people at Wash
ington is tested. By implication, they
are pledged to investigation, if specific
charges as to place,time,aud person or per
sons arc made. Now is the opportunity,
and every man owes it, not only to
himself, but to the aspersed fame of
his countrymen, to give testimony.—
The letter of the Rev. Mr. Wilson, of
Huntsville, was specific—so much so, that
the editor of the New York Times was
forced, iu common decency, to declare
that the outrages he recounted should be
looked into. Take that as a model, aud
furnish the evidence. Our enemies are
relying upon apathy and a stupendous
system of lying to blacken, still more, the
fame of the South before the world. See
to it that they are not successful, aud that
tjie world does not come at last to regard
us, indeed, the monsters the Mexicans
of the United States paint us.
Confiscation. —For the information
and relief of some our fellow citizens who
have allowed themselves to fall down be
fore the hateful idol of reconstruction un
der the Military bill, through fear of this
“raw head and bloody bones,” we take
great pleasure and credit, too, in copying
the following from Forney’s Chronicle, of
the 13tli ins't. If a jackal so remorseless
and keen of scent as he quits the trail, we
think the doubting Thomases may safely
swear it’cold, indeed.
The “ measures sketched,” it may be
premised, are Julian’s bill, which has
passed the House, to take away all the lands
voluntarily granted to Southern railroads,
before the war, by Congress, and throw
them on the market; and establishing the
rule that all sales of lands for non-pay
ment of taxes, and under decrees in bank
ruptcy, shall be in lotsof not less than ten
nor more than eighty acres—all, of course,
for the benefit of the negro. Fearsome
souls, read and sleep soundly, once more ;
It is agreed by intelligent men every
where that however important the policy
of confiscation would have been as a war
measure, or as a means of breaking up .the
grand landed estates of the South, if it bad
been fairly inaugurated in 1863, it is now
too late to count upon it under any cir
cumstances that are likely to arise. If the
measure we have sketched were adopted no
other confiscation would be necessary, for
it would supply the necessities of all, of
whatever race or color, who need free
homes, and thus quiet popular clamor
while restoring permanent peace and
prosperity to the whole country.
Mr. Hire’s Speech.—To the exclusion
of much other matter, we publish, this
morniug, Mr. Hill's speech at Atlanta ou
Tuesday last.
While some may doubt as to the propri
ety of one or two allusions made by him,
there can lie little hesitation in pronoun
cing it the grandest effort of iiis life. The
heart of every man in the land who loves
truth and his country, and bates a liar and
the apostates who are plotting its ruin,
will respond a hearty amen to the grand
truths so grandly and eloquently an
nounced.
Its effects U[>on the Radical " ring” at
at Atlanta, must have been damaging in
deed. They writhe and squirm like boa
constrictors who have not only been cheat
ed of a victim, but compelled to turn and
defend themselves.
Mu. Hill in Macon. —Why should the
people of Maeon not have an opportunity
of hearing this distinguished gentleman
speak at an early day ? We know a num
ber of gentlemen in this city who would
be exceedingly gratified at a visit from
him, and we are sure he could do much
good.
Without intending to be forward in the
matter, we respectfully suggest, that an
Invitation numerously signed be forwarded
to him, from the frieuds and lovers of the
Constitution and the liberties of their
country, in this section.
Death of an Editor.—We regret
most sincerely to learn that Mr. William
N. White, editor of the Southern Culti
qcitor, died at Athens, on Sunday last.
We knew Mr. White well, and, in com
mon with the rest of his fellow-citizens of
our old home, esteemed him very highly.
A Northern man by birth, he was, through
good and through evil report, fully and
enthusiastically identified with the hopes
and fortunee of his adopted section. He
was true as steel to Georgia, and we shall
always honor his memory for it.
An active, energetic, public-spirited cit
zen, his departure would leave a gap in
any community, aud we can but sigh that
Providence sees fit to take such men from
a scene of action where they can and do
work so much good to their fellow-men.
♦ ♦
Transpotation or (icorsia Wheat.
The Charleston papers called the atten
tion to the fact, a few days since, that
arrangements had been effected for the
transportation of wheat from Northern
Georgia to that city without trans-ship
ment at intermediate points.
We arepleased to learn (says the Savan
nah News <fc Herald) that arrangements
have been made for like dispatch over the
roads between this city and Atla.ii.Jta, as
shown by the arrival here at half pas? six
P. M. yesterday, of a train of cars loaded
with wheat, which left Atlauta fiftee.u
minutes past seveu P. M. on Tuesday; and
the freight will go forward to New York
on the steamship Gen. Barnes to-day.
We learn that this freight came along in
the ordinary course, as it was in ample
time for the steamer, but, had it been
necessary, the running time on the rail
roads could easily have been expedited.
It is unnecessary to state that, with
steamships leaving this port every second
day, such time as can be made between
the designated points will fully subserve
the interests of shippers on the route.
It gives us pleasure to state also that the
Maenn and Western road, under the effi
cient management of President White
and Superintendent Walker, and the
Central Railroad, under the vigilant
direction of President Wadley and Super
inteudant Selkirk, are both well supplied
with cars and rolling stock, which will
enable them to meet promptly and satis
factorily all the demands made upon them
for the transportation of wheat and other
descriptions of freight.
The Albany News says it lias rained
there almost every day for the last ten.
Bad for*-ntton and fodder, but corn is safe,
uml a big yield.
Let It be Thorough.--’ wjksee that a
resolution lias been the
Rump House of RepresentaWAw, looking
to a thorough investigation o*CTthe cruelties
alleged to have been practised upon
“Union” soldiers, while in the hands of
the Confederate authorities.
Very good. No Southern man will
object to it, provided it be thorough, and
goes to the bottom. If the truth can tint its
way to tho surface through the crult of
perjury, and testimony distorted,as it Will
be, no doubt, by hate and greenbacks, it
will appear that upon the heads of Butler
and Btantoh, more than any other
beings, rest all the deaths and miserMof
the poor hirelings whom they sacrificdd.
Hassaurek, the editor of the ablestGfemJn
radical paper in the West, has
and so far, no paid hack has
say it. Ifassaurek’s brother
of our prisons, because Duties'-
blockad the business of exchange, ami,
Nature being stronger than party, ho
speaks his mind freely and fearlessly.
As the investigation goes on, all the fact
will come out about that devilish system
of blockade, which made contraband ril
war oven the medicines that were to b{
used to relieve their own sick, as well a$
ours. It will appear that while speculator*)
with passes to buy cotton could conic on
go as they pleased, bread, or meat, or
clothing, or medicine for the; starving,
the naked, the sick, of all degrees and
political sympathies, was rigorously ex
cluded. This does not bear directly upon
thesubject, but incidentally it shows bow
little, in reality, they cared whether or
not the people who held their soldiers
captive were in a eouditiou to provide
properly for their wants.
It will appear, too, that although the
Confederate authorities held, at various
periods during the war, almost, if not
quite twice as many Yankee prisoners, as
the Federal authorities ever had of South
ern soldiers, still the mortality among the
lesser number was 26,000 in round numbers
-—while of the greater number, only 32,00*)
died.
It will appear, too, that granting all the
lies told about “ rebel barbarity ” to be
true, the prison-houses of Elmira, John
son’s Island, Point Lookout, and Fort
Delaware could, if allowed to do so through
their inmates, reveal horrors that would
dwarfeven the monstrous fictions of Au
dersouvilla aud the Libby, and for which
the “ best government the sun shines on ”
can furnish no excuse that would not lie
indignantly scouted by any civilized people
in the world. The letter of the Rev. Mr.
Wilson to the New York Ttmes, which wc
published some days ago, is but a tithe of
the evidence on this point that <*an be
furnished. Give us a half chance, and we
will not shrink from a trial even before
this packed jury.
It mil ill secure*.
The Philadelphia Press of the 3d, says .-
“This morning is the anniversary of the
battle of Gettysburg—a battle which saved
the country aud made our State illustri
ous forever iu history.”
Whereupon the Cincinnati CommcrcUd
“coppers” the “Dead Duck” as follows:
The principal thing the Pennsylvanians.;
were remarkable for when Lee invade#- 1
the State was that their “minds were aL,
tore up.” They ran like sheep from the*
Rebels, or remained at home in stolid in
difference. They did not turn out to fight
the invaders. Water was sold m Harris
burg to the New York regiments hasten
ing to the rescue. Quite as many (South
ern sympathizes were found by Lee’s
army iu Pennsylvania as any of our ar
mies found of Union men irrespective of
color, in the (Southern .States. The con
duct of tho people of Gettsyburg before the
battle, was distinguished by meanness. —
One old shoemaker, named Burns, embo
died all the chivalry in the town. If any
doubt these assertions we advise them tq
read the correspondence of the New York
papers, the Times especially, regarding tin
Gettysburgers during the days whose Eg.;
events they now assume made them for
ever illustrious in history. '‘j
Gen. Grant and the Presidency.—
” Mack, ” of the Cincinati Commercial,
in his letter from Washington on the 11th
inst., thus gives Gen. Grant’s notions
about bis own occupancy of the Presiden
tial chair:
’ A good deal has been said aliout ( Jrant’s
[Militical opinions, Out I think it Would
puzzle any one to point to an authorized
expression of them. He no longer conceals
the fact that he wants to be qresident—or
as he says it, that he, would like to.be
President some time or other.’ .Speaking
to a friend the other day he said if he
were sure of it ten years hence he would
rather wait. ,As it is,’ said lie, ,if I am
elected now f will be an ex-President
while I am a young man. My present po
sition suits me and pays me liberally—
nearly S2<J, (Kin a year. I can’t lie President
more than eight years, probably not more
than four, and at the end of that time I’ll
be out of office, with nothing to do and no
private fortune to live on. , Biff a bird in
hand is worth two in the bush, and Ulyss
es is more willing to be President in ’69
than to take the chance ten or twelve
years hence. ”

Joe Brown in the Baptist Conven
tion on ISO.!. —Tlii snotorious character,
whose slimy trail has ever been seen
slickest and slimiest within the sacred
precincts of the church, in 1863, thus
ventilated his mock patriotism. A resolu
tion commemorative of Stonewall Jackson,
being on its passage, the Governor deemed
it a favorable opportunity to impress upon
the brethren his great zeal, and steadfast
patriotism. Listen to him
“Suppose we now refuse to pass the
resolutions upon your table, what will be
tlie effect? 'the abolition government at
Washington will say that the Baptists <9*
the Southern States were very warlike
two years since, but that the experience of
that period lias abated their ardor, and
they are looking fora back door through
which to escape into tlie old Union. I
trust there is not a Baptist in this Conven
tion, or in the Confederacy, who will
ever consent to a reconstruction of tlie
Union, or to any political union with the
abolition States, upon any terms or under
any circumstances whatever.” * *
And then again this :
“What family in the Confederacy has
not been made to mourn on account of
the wrongs inflicted by your cruel ene
my? How then, can you or I, or any
other member of this Convention or any
member of a Christian church, or good
citizen of tho Con fed. States ever consent
to shake hands with our invaders, over
the graves of our dear ones slain in battle,
and again embrace them in fraternal
political relations ? Is any one so vision
ary as to suppose that tlie Union could
ever be reconstructed, and the States of
either section placed back where they
were before the war was forced upon us?
ii could only be reconstructed by our
; ti»bjugalion, which would force us back
into a grand consolidated military despot
ism. burdened with chains and taxations
insufferable —hewers of wood and drawers
of water so rcruel masters. In such an event,
our condition would be the most degraded
mid deplorable of auy people on the face
of tlie earth.
Sooner Until wubmit to this, let us with
our wives and children follow those who
have gone to them, and let our beloved
land become a howling waste.”
There is a plenty more of the same sort,
but this will suffice for the preesent. ft is
to be hoped the Josephines will read
prayerfully ami ponder well.

For Every Day Use.— There is no
truer maxim than that “Prevention is
better than Cure.” Plantation Bitters
should always lie used whenever the first
symptom of disease is felt. Heartburn,
Headache, Gold Feet, Pain in the Back,
Low Spirits and Indigestion, are the sure
forerunners of dyspepsia and other horrid
nightmare diseases.
For such symptoms Plantation Bitters
are a certain and ready relief. An imme
diate good effect is always felt from tlie
fiiY,t trial. They are easy to procure,
pieasaut to take, aud sure to do good.
Cong regional'
Washington, July 19.— Senate: House
amendment allowing negroes to serve us
jurors, in District of Columbia, adopted.
The joint resolution, from the House,
nullifying decrees of the court of claims,
was severely denounced by Mr. Trumbull.
Mr. Bumner introduced a bill to strike
the word “white” from the naturalization
laws. Referred to Judiciary committee.
The veto message was read, but the Sup
plementary Reconstruction hi 11 was passed
notwithstanding. Thirty ayes lo six nays
(Messrs. Bayard, Buckalew, Davis, Hen
dricks, Johnson, Patterson of Tennessee),
and the Chair announced that the bill
was a law.
The reconstruction appropriation bill
was passed over the veto.
The Senate adopted a resolution to ad
journ tomorrow, at three o’erobk, to the
first Monday in December. Ayes 22, nays
15—the latter figure representing the im
peachment element in the Senate. Ad
journed.
House: The assassination committee
was allowed to take evidence by sub-com
mittee and to administer oaths.
A report was received from the special
committee of investigation on the Post
master’s department. The preamble al
lege* fraud.
The Veto.
The Veto was received. The message
covers three columns, arguing elaborately
the unconstitutiouality of the Acts. Al
luding to the declaration that the State
governments are illegal, the Prasident
says: A singular contradiction is here
apparent Congress declares the local
’ fitate governments to be illegal govern
ments,aud then provides that these illegal
governments shall be carried ou by Fed
eral officers who arc to perform the very
duties imposed on its own officers by this
illegal State autiiority. It certaiuly would
be a novel spectacle if Congress should
attempt to carry on legal State government
by the agency of its own officers ; it is yet
more strange that Congress attempts to
sustain and carry ou an illegal State gov
ernment by the’same Federal agency.
With regard to title by conquest, lie
say.-: It is anew title acquired by war;
it applies only to territory, for goods or
mumble things regularly captured in war
arecalled booty, or, if taken by individual
soHiers, plunder. There is not a foot of
laid in any One of these ten States which
tint United States holds by conquest, save
onjysuch land as did not belong to either
of these States or any individual owner.—
I itcan such lands as did belong to the
prfiended government called tho Confed
erate State*. These lands we may claim
to hold by conquest. As to all other laud
orterritory, whether belonging to States
oi individuals, the Federal government
hts now no more title or right to it than
ithad before the reliellion.
The message concludes:
“Within a period less than a year, the
legislation of Congress has attempted to
strip the Executive department of the
Government of some of its essential
powers. The constitution and the oath
provided in it devolve upon the President
4p‘ power and the duty to see that the
j 7#vs are faithfully executed. The consti
i.’ulion, in order to carry out this liower,
gives him the choice of the agents, and
pnakes them subject to his control and
Supervision; iu the execution of these
rws tile constitutional obligation u|>on
be President remains. But the power to
exercise that constitutional duty is ef
fectually taken away—the military com
mander is, as to thepower of appointment,
made to take the place of the President,
and the General of the army the place of
the Senate, and any attempt on the part
of the President to assert his constitutional
power may, under pretence of law, be met
by official insubordination. It is to be
feared tiiat these military officers, looking
to the authority given by the laws rather
than to the letter of the constitution, will
recognise no authority but the commander
of the district and the General of tho
army.
“If there were no other objections than
this to this proposed legislation, it would
be sufficient, whilst I hold the chief exec
utive authority of the United States,
Whilst the obligation rests upon me to
see tiiat all the laws are faithfully execut
ed. I can never willingly surrender that
trust, or tlie powers given for its execution;
I can never give my assent to be made re
sponsible for the faithful execution of the
laws, and at the same time surrender tiiat
trust and the powers which accompany it
to any other executive officer, high or low,
or to any number of executive officers. If
this executive trust, vested by the Consti
tution in tho President, is to lie taken
from him and vested in a subordinate of
ficer, the responsibility will be with Con
gress in clothing the subordinate with
unconstitutional power, and with the offi
cer who assumes its exercise.
“ This interferrenee with the constitu
tional authority of the Executive depart
ment is an evil that will inevitably sap
the foundations of our Federal system,but
it is not the worst evil of this legislation.
It is a great public wrong to take.from the
President powers conferred upon him
alone by the Constitution ; Gut the wrong
is more flagrant and more dangerous when
the powers so taken from the Prssident
are conferred upon subordinate officers,
and especially ii)K)u military officers.—
Over nearly one-third of the .States of the
Union, military (power, regulated by no
/fixed law, rules supreme. Each one of the
irve district commanders, though not
chosen by the people or responsible to
them, exercise at this hour more execu
tive power, military and civil, than the
people have ever been willing to confer
upon the head of the Executive depart
ment, though chosen by and responsible
to themselves. The remedy must come
from the people themselves. They know
what it is, and how it is to be applied. At
the present time they can not, according
to the Constitution, repeal their laws—
they can not remove or control this mili
tary despotism—but the remedy, neverthe
less, is in their hands. It is to be found in
the ballot, aud is a sure one, if not con
trolled by fraud, overawed by arbitrary
power, or, from apathy on their part, too
ong delayed.
“With abiding confidence in their pat
riotism, wisdom and integrity, I am still
hopeful of the future, and that in the end
the rod of despotism will be broken, tho
armed rule of power he lifted from the
necks of tlie people, and the principles of
a violaled Constitution be preserved.”
Immediately after the reading of the
message, tlie impeacliers made a strong
effort. Boutwell, Butler and others char
acterized it as defiant.
Stevenssaid they were urging that mat
ter in vain; there are unseen agencies at
work, there are invisible powers at work
in this country, which will prevent im
peachment. “ I repeat, any attempt to
impeach the President will be vain and
lutile.”
Wilson, chairman of the Judiciary de
nounced Stevens’ Insinuations—assorting
that no amount of political pressure
slionhl turn him aside from the discharge
oi duty to law aud to fact. (Apulause
from the Democratic side.)
Stevens, without replying, demanded a
vote, and tlie bill passed—lo 9to 24.
I lie reconstruction appropriation bill
was passed over the veto—loo to 22.
A resolution was passed, prohil filing
the President from removing district com
manders without consent of the Si mate,
unless the General of the army n com
mend it.
The House tlieu adjourned.
