ERw YoRK, March 2s.-Ths Herald say
his (the Presidents) obligations on ccnstitu
) tional grounds exhibit this bill Civil Right
bill as involving the most dagra9t devices
|, foYerriding The reserved rights Of The State
in their Legislatures and Judicial tribunsl
ever attempted in Congress. We had ne
supposed this bill in a new shape, and G
sort Of reproduction Of tina old fugitive slav,
law, but under the searching analysis O
Andrew johnson, 1t appears hundred
times worse than the rejected freedmen
bureau experiment, and nothing less than &
bill of unconstitutional denominations from
beginning 10 end. The objections submit
ted against the first section Of the bill
however, are those which mark the impas-
sable barrier between him aud the ruling
Radicals Of Congress. The veto is in fact
an emphatic declaration Of war against the
Radicals and their reconstruction from root
to branch. HencefOrward there can be no
party endowments of the policy Of Congress
coupled with professions of adhesion to the
policy of the Administration.
The Tribune SAYS: Let us thank Mr..
johnson that his veto is so sweeping. He
might have done it more cunningly, but he
has chosen to let Us know that it is not this
particular bill that has invoked his oppo-
sition, but that any measure whereby Con-
gress shall attempt to protect Southern
blacks against white abuse and oppression
must encounter his determined, deadly op-
position.
Before referring to the veto message, the
| Times SAYS. But we venture to think that
few State papers have ever been given to
the world that will 50 thoroughly compel
| the attention of thinking men, of whatever
creed, or kindred, or party. The analysis
Of the details, however, is Of so keen and
| searching a character, aud the logic is 50
| irresistible, that we should hope even the
strongest advocates of the measure will see
how vastly important it is that the cOnsti-
tutional power of the veto should exist, and
how important also in higher sense, it is
that constitutional Iower should be ic-
trusted to a President endowed with Judg-
| ment, discretion and most uncommon cou-
rage.
Tho World says: The veto is a conclusive
demonstration Of what was apparent before,
that the conflict between the President and
Congress admits Of neither compromi4e nor
reconciliation, and that the controversy can
be decided only by an appeal to their com
mon superiors, the sovereign people.
NEw YORK, March 2S.-The provisional
contract for the consolidation of the various
great Express Companies, was accepted

press Company. 1t is understood that the
arrangement is to increase the cspital of the
old companies to the extent OF $4,000 goo,
which stock is to be taken up by the Ma
tional Bankers Company. The latter goes
out Of existence as a separate company.

WAsHlxGrox, March s.-sExATE-After
reading the journal, Mr.. Sumner rose and
said: Mr. Presdent-A great bereavement
has fallen upon the Senate. Mr.. Foote,
Senator of Vermont, one Of our most hon |
ored associates, and the oldest among us in |
continuous service, died this morning at 5 |
O'Clock. He has passed from this scene of |
duty and honor. In the presence Of such |
sorrow 1t seems better that public business |
should be suspended in this chamber for to- |
day. Accordingly, / shall make q motion, !
which | believe will have the sympathy and |
concurrence of the Senate. l make it in the |
absence of the surviving Senator from Yer |
mont, who is now necessarily engaged in 4
attendance upon the family OF the deceased, |
and after consultation with him, | move /
that the Senate nov adjourn. The motion 1
was carried, and the Senate adjourned until /
TO morrow.

work among the people2
A. do not know Of anything to prevent
