intimated that the feeling for the Union was
much stronger, just after the close of the
war. than now, for there appeared to him
to be some impotence among the people,
that men who had not been identified with
the var in the South, should be prevented
from representing their States in Congress.
He declared that there was disposition to
treat the freedmen well for their own in
terest as for that of the white people. He
expressed decided hope that the Govern
ment might endure for all time, and regard
ed the course of President Johnson and
General Grant toward the SDuth as liberal
and humane. It was plain to the commit
lee that General Lee found himself in a very
unpleasant position and he did not com
municate very freely.
A crowd awaited his appearance from
the committee room, and followed him from
the capitol down Pennsylvania avenue to
his hotel. A large number of people have
called on him, but he avoids, as far as pos
sible, society. General Lee is apparently
in excellent health. His hair and beard
are considerably more frosty than when he
was last in the city. He wore a semi mill
tary cloak, which looks as though it had
accompanied him in some of his late cam
paigns. The remainder of his dress was OF
purely civil character, well-ftting and
tasteful. He visits his daughter, Mrs.
Mildridhu, in Georgetown, this evening,
and will return to Virginia on the Rich
mond train tomorrow forenoon.

Veto of the Freedmen's Bureau Bill by
the President.

New YORK, Feb ia special dispatch
to the Philadelphia Bulletin from Wash
ington, says the Presidents veto message
of the Freedmen's bill, has just been re-
ceived. It is very elaborate covering up
wards of thirty pages of foolscap. He is
opposed to the bill in every shape and form.
He claims many of the features to be IN
constitutional, and says that no such legis-
lation for South ought to be adopted while
the Southern States are unrepresented.
He thinks there is too much appointing
power in the bill confded to the President.
He enters into full discussion of his res
toration policy, and thinks the Southern
Representatives ought to be admitted.
A dispatch from Washington, dated Goth
inst, says the Senate failed to reRass the
Freedmen's Bureau Bill over the veto, by
the required two-thirds vote. The vote
was 80 against l 8.

es. Mr.. Halls resolution providing for
the adjournment of the Legislature on the
first Monday in March was Withdrawn.
Matters in the House, we are pleased 10
state, are beginning to assume a more
peaceful aspect. The absences were all
on hand yesterday; some of them, to be
sure, being brought there under arrest.
Under the calm and iudicious management
of Messrs. Poston and Freeman, a concilia-
ton was almost, if not quite, brought about,
and towards evening very pleasant feeling
pervaded the House. Mr.. Poston made
sensible and well-timed speech, clearly de-
monstrating that the majority in the Hall
were clearly to blame in the first place in
forcing the previous question on the fran
chise bill, when no arrangement could have
been more explicit than that there was to
be ample time and provision for discussion,
and the proposal of amendments. Mr..
Wines very sensiblY moved to reconsider
the vote on the adoption of tbs previous
question, but previous to any action being
had, the House adjourned. Mr.. Speaker
Heiskell used his best efforts during the day
to produce harmony and good feeling among
the members. To this end he announced
that the delinquents were fully acquitted,
and would resume their legitimate relations
on the floor of the House. In regard to the
three members who have rendered their
resignation, we are not apprized whether or
not they will recall them. 1t is probable
that they will. The indications are that
the House will be fully organized to-day,
and the franchise bill be again brought be-
fore the body for that discussion which It's
vast inheritance demands

The Veto Message.

We regret that our limited space will not
justify us in publishing in this paper Presi-
dent Johnson s Message vetoing the Freed
mems Bureau BILL 1t is document wor-
thy the head and heart of an American
patriot and statesman. If there are any
who have heretofore doubted that the Presi-
dent would stand firmly to tie Constitution,
and boldly confront the Radical mejority of
Congress, in their attempts to override all
constitutional boundaries, let their doubts
be discarded at once. He has proven him
self worthy successor to the immortal old
Hickory, and worthy son of the great
State of Tennessee.

ssNever Give I'm"

There is a disposition on the part of many
people South to give up. The future of our
beloved country looks dark to them. They
see no rainbow of promise. Some are emil
grating to other countries, while others are
living in gloomy dependency, with no
means to emigrate. and no heart to enter
vigorously into the pursuits of life. Wake
up country-me ''there is life in the old
land Yet," and work FOR you to do.
Who are our richest men? our distin-
guished men? our best men? Those who
have been cast down but not destroyed
who when the breeze of adversely swept
away their props, sought new standards
A glorious sentence and worthy to be in
spired-"never give upl'' Men are not
made--they make themselves. A steady
perseverance, determination never to
sink, though milIstones were hanged about
your necks-is the true doctrine. 1t is
this that has made the wilderness to bios
som, that has given wings to the ocean, fill
ed valleys, leveled mountains. and built up
great cities. It is this that will foil our
enemies, redeem our country, and make
you happy. Who then is fool, and yields
simpering before the blast? Who is suck
ling, and covers before a cloud? Shame on
you. You are big enough to possess an
iron heart. Up, and let this be the day Of
your redemption. Resolve to be drone nc
longer-even if you are obliged to stand
with red hot iron on your brow, or letters
on your limbs and seal on your tongue
''aaever give up."

Rich Bale of Cotton

This interesting story is told by North
ern paper: "Many cotton bales arriving in
New York have to be overhauled, dirt and
stained cotton thrown out, and then rebaled.
The other day two laborers in discharge of
this duty found in one of the bales $27,-
600 in gold. One of them proposed to d.
vide and keep mum, but the other said he
would report to the boss The purchaser
of the cotton claimed the gold, and the
seller claimed it because the cotton was not
delivered, and for other reasons, and proba-
bly, the court will decide to whom this
rich mine belongs. The purchaser gave
the two laborers $500 each, in green
backs"
1t does not seem to have occurred to
either the seller or the purchaser, that the
money belonged to some one else; they
certainly have no right to it. A Southern
man or woman concealed it in that manner
to keep it from falling into the hands of a
raiding party, the noise of whose coming
sounded afar.

WEST POINT OFFICERs.-At the COM
mencement of the war there was 825 gradu-
ates of West Point in the U. S. army; 100
resigned and joined the Confederate army;
621 remained in the U. S. army, of whom
1873 were natives of the South. During the
war, 1913 were killed, and nearly 500
wounded. 1t is likely the losses among
those who joined the COnfederacy were in
the same proportion.

He was soon taken before the commit

considerable length, though it did not elicit
81 any prominent statement beyond what
might have been anticipated from the well
known position of the witness. He was
quite reserved, aud did not volunteer any
remark beyond the proper answer to the
question put to him. He said that so far
as he had opportunities of learning, the
people of Virginia had accepted the result
of the war in good faith, and we're anxious
for restored amity in the Union. Wren
