Fho Chnstisement OF Grinnell, q
Iowa, by General Rousseau

We gave yesterday an account of the
Gaming Of an Iowa Radical member OF
Congress, named GRINNEIL, by General
ROUSSEAU, member from Kentucky. As
to the provocation of the latter, the New
York EreRing Post, an extreme Radical
paper, says:
1--WE do not think it right to pass over
in silence the extraordinary scene in
Congress on Monday, between Mr.. Grin.
nell, OF Iowa, and Mr.. Rousseau, of Ken
lucky. Congress used TO furnish, in the
old times, occasional specimens of what
were called plantation manners but
Mr.. Grinnell exceis even Henry A. Wise
as scold and we doubt if, of the House
which listened to him, the oldest mem
Der had ever been witness to more Tia.
grant breach of parliamentary decorum
than he committed.
General Rousseau, as a Kentuckian, a
soldier, and man noted for headlonr
courage, might have been expected to
retort In kind; bit he did himself great
honor by his Federation and entire self
possession. He acted, under extreme
provocatiGn, like true gentleman; and
no brar cry in battle ever raised him
high, II in the esteem of respectable men,
thr IN the eomposure with which he bore
the supplementary and indecent Ian
guage of Mr. Grinnen
I'VE hope the House and its Speaker
will not suffer repetition of such Ian
guage or conduct within its walls. Gen.
tlemen like General Rousseau ought not
to be exposed to such outrages."

Another UsurPation.

In the House Of Representatives last
Friday, a resolution was offered request
ing the President to forward to the leg
islatures of the various States, for their
ratification or rejection, the cOnstitu-
tional amendment recently passed by
Congress 1t was suggested that the ten
days within which the amendment might
be signed OF vetoed by the President had
not yet elapsed, and 1T was therefore i'm
proper to request its submission to the
legislatures until after the President had
signed it. In the course of the discus
sion the Speaker of the House said that
he had directed the enrolling clerk not
TO transfer copy of the amendment to
the President, as his signature was not
necessary to its validity.
This is certainly new and rather
dangerous doctrine. 1t is in direct con-
Aict with the seventh section of the first
article of the constitution, which, it
seems to us, is as explicit and emphatic
as the English language can make it.
The constitution declares that "Erery
Order, Resolution or Tote to which the con-
cmrence of the Senate and House Of Repre-,
Sentatives may be necessary, (ercept On a
question of aJoarnmenD shall be Presented
to tho President Of the United Saate8; and
before the same shall take effect, shall be
approved by him, or boing diaspproved
by him, shall be repassed by wo.thirds
Of the Senate ard House of Representa-.
lives, according to the rules and hmita-
tons described in the case of BILL
How Mr.. CoLFAX can eyade this plain
constitutional provision and refuse to,
submit to the President the joint reSch-
lion recently passed, is more than we can
imagine. 1t is, Of course, probable that
;he submission of a constitutional amend
nent to the President wonld be merely
matter Of form, because the same ma
ority required for its original passage
will be sufficient to pass it over the veto,
mt it is form which is imperative and
annot be legally disregarded.

A Veto All Can Sustnin

President Johnson has sent in an
other veto. On the merits of the quess.
ton discussed in it there will be no dit
ference among honest men. Congress
granted what is known as the New
York and Montana Iron Mining and
Manufacturing Company" vast tract
of mining and timber land at 81 % per
acre, while the government minimum
price for mining land is $50. In return,
the government got literally nothing.
It was hoped this big swi1dle would es-
cape the vigilance of the President,
sorely pestered as he is by the radicals
and their political schemes, but the
hopes of the schemers have turned oGO
to be fallacious The bill was engl-
neered through the Senate, it is said, by
Ben. Wade, a man guided by the very
highest moral ideas. The men of fine
sentiments do not forget No l, by long
odds.-Brooklyn Eagle.

A Pair OF Amendments.

{ The proposed amendment to the con
ltitution of this State having been
latifed by such of the voteEs as the
legislature, Governor, repatriation off,
,ers and Negroite MODS have graciously
Sermitted to vote upon the subject, and
he returns having been duly made up

srvative ones, and rejecting the votes

9 supposed that the Governor is now
Nearly ready to issue his proclamation
Declaring the amendment to be part of
oar constitution.
o In the meantime Congress have been
Engaged in tinkering up the constitu-
Won of the United States, aud have re .
Bsntly proposed an amendment thereto,
" o two-thirds vote of each house. 1t
Way be we'll to compare what they have
one@ith our amendment. Their acts,
lough not SO intended, are in reality a
scided rebuke to our RADICAL ex
'emists.
The amendment to the constitution of
le United States, as originally reported
Congress by TnAD, STEVENS recon
ruction committee, contained the f..
wing section:
SEC: 3. Unit the 4th day OF July,
~, all persons who voluntarily ad-

na. rntel1ioencer wants to know how
The conservative men expect to carry
this State after the twenty thousand
persons" deprived of citizenship by the
amendment shall have removed from
West Virginia. a42Q
The most pertinent and emphatic an
swer to the question will be rendered at
the polls next October, but, if our neign-
bors of the Intelligencer were as wise as
they wish to be considered, they wouia
know, without asking, that conslaera-
BILE majority of the citizens of this STATE
exclusive of the twenty thousand ols-
franchised and alienated by the amend
ment, are conservative. Let the test
oath and registration act be enforceu aS
rigidly as you will, provided Its PROV
sions be executed fairly and 'nlpar''@"y
and the ballots be correctly coun tea' anu
the result will show decided conserva-
tive majority. The majority for the
amendment only foots up about SIX
thousand, and almost every person IN tne
State knows that large portion OF that
is fraudulent. In many counties the
provisions of the registration act were
shamefully violated and the election was
a mere farce, and in many places the re-
turns were rejected by the Boards OF Su-
pervisers upon such shallow pretexts as
that by which the whole vote of Triadel-
phia township in this county has been
thrown out.
We ask no favors from the radicals,
but demand simply fair play and the
impartial execution even of the despOtic
acts which the legislature have framed
for their own advantage. If this can be
obtained. the IatellgeRCer will learn how
easy it is for the conservative party to
carry the State even after twenty thou
sand citizens have been driven beyond
the border.

"shalI Not be Questioned"

In the proposed constitutional amend
ments adopted by the Rump Congress
we find the following:
"SECTIoN a. The validity of the pub
lie debt of the United States, author
lied by law, including debts incurred for
the payment of pensions and bounties
for services in suppressing insurrection
or rebellion, shall not be questioned {;
but neither the United States nor any
State shall assume to pay any debt or
obligation incurred in aid of inl,urrec-
tion or rebellion against the United
States, or any claim for the loss or eman.
cipation of any slave; but all such debts,
obligations and claims shall be held lille
gal and void"
Here it is provided that the debts
authorized by law shall necer be qaes-
toned, although such debts may be en-.
tirely illegal III their nature and eharac-
ten. 1t is intended to give the constitu-
ti0nal sanction to swind1ing claims and
fraudulent appropriations that may be-
corFuptly passed by Congress. 1t is In
tended TO prevent the Judiciary Depart
ment of the Government from passing
on them, so that the people can have no
means OF protection against the plum
dering of the Treasury.
The legality Of the public debt, pres
emit and future, is never to be questioned
Isuot this a Strong and sweeping ex-
pressiong The proposers of this section
are not satisfied with guaranteeing its
payment, but they declare that the va
lidity of il is not 10 be even considerel
by the people. The language is as die
tatorial as the inteat is base.-CiRciHaeti

to dispose of about 8, 100000 acres of pub

1t is in effect extending the provisions of
the Homestead bill over those lands. 1t
restricts the amount of land to be en-
tered by one person to eighty acres for
two years, after which one hundred and
sixty acres may be entered. Until JAN

restriction is removed.

stoaIIng from a Ohurchy y

Some petty thief or thieves entered, on
Sunday night or yesterday mornlng, the
basement of the Congregational Church on
Broad street, and passing up into the
rooms above, carried OF thres china 1ower
vases.,}The City Marshal Yesterday came
across man on the street with two'vases,
and asked him where he had got them. He
said he had found them in a lumber yard.
This answer excited, the suspicion of the
Marshal who detained, the man until an
investigation could be matte. After con-
siderable Ih69lry.ddd seatcpI y was sseer-
tained that the two vases had been stolen
from the congregational Church.
The.tttrd vase was found IN Franklintpn
in the possession of IL person to whoinft
had been sold by woman for 20 cents.
The woman WIS put under arrest and
locked up, rs well as the vase carrier men,
toned above.
