After protrscted Cabinet session, the
President sent message vetoing the Freed
mems Bureau bill 70 the Senate Monday ct
half past one. The message Is said TO be
Of some length. brief abstract given by the
telegraph says
The President is opposed to the bill IN
every shape and form. He believes that
many features OF it are unconstitutional
and say. no such legislation for the South
ought to be adopted while Southern States
are unrepresented. He thinks there is TOO
much appoIn ting power in the bill confrrcd
on the president. He enters into full dis
cussion Of his reconstruction policy, and
thinks southern representatives ought to
be admitted, and 80 forth.
The message created some excitement
in the Senate and will undoubtedly create 3
still greater excitement in the country.
The bill was passed as first presented, by
a vote N the House Of l3G to 80 and in the
Senate where it originated by 81 to 10
more than two thirds majority in bothHous-
e. The bill it will be remembered finally
passed the House, with the Senate amend

The Veto.

We rannot regard with much pleasure,
on action ON the part Of the President,
vhieh j. hailed with unmlxed delight by
every rebel and copperhesd IN the country.
The President has probably not definitely
decided On cutting entirely loose from the
great party which elected him. and which
hAs hitherto sustained him may be pos
I5ie even vet TO prevent an open rupture
between tie party Of the Union and the
Presdent,-stlll he has deliberately rejected

bat was passed by a vote Of nearly four 10
one OF both houses Of Congress which had
the support OF every thoroughly loyal and
cle4rsighted man in those bodies and which
has since the veto received in the Senate
vote winch with a change Of two nays TO
yeas would have passed the bill over the
Presidents head. He has vetoed ii, too, not
solely on the ground OF Objectionable detais
which might be obvisted by future amend
mcnts, but on the ground that no S2oh
measure IS justified by the present situation
Of affairs at the South that the freedmen
do not need the amount Of protection that
Congress supposes they do and that they
should be protected go tar as they need 1t
- by the civil uth0rities-especially by the
exercise Of all the constitutional powers Of
the Courts of the United States and Of the
States OF course this objection is just as
valid against the Freedmen's Bureau, IN iu
present form, a. against it under the pro
posed enlargement. And TO be consistent
Mr. johnson should withdraw from the
South the officers Of that suI eau, and leave
the freedmen to the tender mercies Of the
reconstructed rebels, in whose disposition to
regard :. the rights and interests Of al classes
Of people be feels such confidence.
The character Of Mr. Johnson's objections
to thi. till, and the obvious replies to them,
may be seen IRON the abstract Of Senator
Trumbull's speech, in another column. On /
