WASHINGTON, July 16, 1854.
she president caused considerable indigna-
ticn among the radical men by telling 3Iessrs.
Clerk and Fessenden that he would veto the |
co.fscation bill unless it should be SO modi- |
fed that forfeiture should only apply to real
estltc during tho life Of the traitor. Fessen- |
den WIS particularly savage on this back
Kitchen style Of yeto, and Lane Of Indiana, |
Preston King, and Others, made strong I
speeches in favor Of doing nothing till the |
President should send in his message.
The fear Of losing the confscation measure,
however, altogether, made them yield the
that satisfied the president aud
aVcrled the veto.
AIr. Lincoln was in bis room at the back Of
the Senate chamber during the debate.
Mr.. Ha1u declared If the president had been
no lawyer at all, or had been very superior
lawyer, he would have had no constitutional
difficulties about this bill, but this was truly
case where SO little learning was danger
ous thing"
Mr. Chandler's speech on the conduct Of
the war produces profound sensation. The
facts are so startling and so much stonger
snd more conclusive than had been expected,
that bis bitterest opponents hare not q word
to say. They denounce its spirit, but have
nothing to say about its reasonings.
The Senate is sitting tonight. There is
no doubt about the adjournment tomorrow
noon.
The new militia law, or drafting law, pnssed
the House exactly as it came from the Senate.
The clause about employing negroes, tele-
graphcd last night, will be 3 law as soon as
the president signs it. Il is understood there
is no fear bow ab~ut the president approving
I'll mportant bills in his hands.
There is como hitch among the majority Of
the Border State men, and their address Is still
Withheld. Maynard Of Tennessee, and Hen
derson Of Missouri, had made separate ad-
dresses, each strong for emancipation.
Col. Miller of the 18th Missouri, who was
taken prisoner at Plttsburg Landing and re-
| Gently liberated On parole by the rebels, to
| negotiate an exchange Of prisoners, has re-
! turned to Richmond aud reported to the rebel
authorities, and Was sent back by them to
| make further negotiations. He arrived here
| to-day accompanied by Major Stone Of the Sd
| Iowa
| Recent reports that an exchange had been
agreed upon, arc entirely false. Nothing,
however, now prevents an exch1nge, except
! the demand OF kentuckians that Buclner
shall not be given up on any terms. The
| rebcls refuse to consent to an exchange to
| which there shall be exceptions.
