Seymour, in his recent Message 10 the
Legislature, VS. that body distinctly TO
understand that he shall veto a law con
ferripg upon soldiers the right to vote

Law rs uucons. utlonal. We 10 not

Gpon this poiut. II c r,ainly isnot yrer
from doubt and many Of the soumdest
and aJiss. ianyers IL the Republican
party agree ruth Gor. Seymour ~ Ms
opin.on.-N. J. Tones.
There is not u lawyer Of sense in the
country, who entertains the belief tina,
the Const ta.ion OF either OF tho State,
of the Union was framed with the view
OF authorizing any person 10 vote outside
81 his election distric', no matter in what
capacity he might be acting. But it is
proposed TO maintain that soldiers have
the r gbt 10 vo.e--cyeu away from home
where they have gone TO defend the Old
flag and fight for the Union, aud il must
be admitte that there is something in
the theory that is not at all unpleasant
BIT in legal point Of view, AMI rs a
matter Of military policy, there are strong
objections to the course. But the best
way TO meet The question fairly and hon.
orably, since the m alter is insls ed upon,
IL to submit to the people OF each State
~ Gov. Seymour recommends in Ncs
York, the question OF so amending I'll,
State Constitutions as to provide 10,
taking tue votes OF the soldiers Of the
Government, even beyond tho lines OF
their voting districts. Thus the will OF
the people will be sxprossed in an un-
equlvocal manner, and the action there
si,er be laced beyond doubt.
Bat We appreheEd that republican
denagogues want nothing OF The kind
They prefer to override the orgaaic laws
Of States upon the convenient plea OF
military necessity. They think uore Ct
strengthening party than they do q
observing ths.laws Constitutions and
laws, they claim, were made for times
Of peace, aud are not to be considered AS
objects OF their regard in times of war.
Gov Seymour will bat discharge his duty
by vetoing tie measure proposed in the
New York Legislature.

agr Copperhead paper says, "When the
country was waging war with Mexico, and
the Democrats were in power, even members
of Congress said they wanted our soldiers to
meet with bloody hands and hospitable graves"
and then says, "Did Mr.. Polk arrest the men
who were guilty of such utterances ?" The
above quotation contains lie direct and a
lie by implication. 1t asserts what is unquali-
fedly false. No member of Congress ever
said he audnted our soldiers to meet with
bloody hands, &c. Mr. Corwin did say-and
he is a conservative Republican whom the
Copperheads have frequently commended
that ,cere he Mericdn citizen, he would
welcome the invading soldiers with bloody
hands to hospitable graves and many of the
very men who are now the most liberal in
their contributions to uphold the starveng
traitor who publishes the paper from which
we have quoted, then of the Wing party, were
in sympathy with Mr.. Corwin, approved his
opposition to the war, and denounced it as a
damnable invasion of the territory of a sister
republic. The foregoing extract, by fair i'm
plication, asserts that Mr. Polk made no COM
plant against the men guilty of such utteran-
ces, and yet in his message of 1885, as we
have had occasion to show, he contended that
they were guilty of treason against the United

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 10.
The term of enlistment of invalid corps is
to be for three years, unless sooner discharged.
The corps will be required to perform all the
duties within the limits of their physical ca
pacity, but for convenience OF service they
will be selected for three grades of duty. The
most able-bodied and capable of using the
musket will be assigned to companies of the
first battalion; those who have lost hand or
an arm, TO the second battalion; and those
who have lost leg or foot to the third bat
TALON. The two last will be armed with
swords. None will be admitted to the corps
whose previous record does not show he is
meritorious and deserving. Those faithful
soldiers whose physical infirmities are too
great to admit of their being of any service,
will receive pensions and bounties as provided
by law. No pensions, premiums or bounty
will be allowed for enlistment in the invalid
corps, but they will receive all other pay and
allowances authorized by law excepting the
increased pay for re-enlstment.
Col. X. III. Rush is in charge of the beureau
appropriated to this business under the gener-
al direction of Col. Fry, Provost Marshal Gen
eral.
