RRcoNsrRUcrroN.--Int the debate on the last
veto, Senator Lane, Of Kansas, defended the
President, and proposed TO bring Congress and
the President together on a scheme of reconstruc-
ton based on the Presidents letter to Governor
Sharkey But will the President agree to itP We
are sorry to say that Mr.. Lane could not give a
satisfactory answer to that question. We believe
there will be no trouble, as between Mr.. johnson
aud Congress, il b. will stand by the principles Of
reconstruction ayowed by himself previous to aud
up to the meeting Of the present Congress. The
responsibility will be upon him. therefore, if there
shall be disagreement

nunciatinn Of Senator Edmunds by a number Of
our state papers in the interest OF his rival for the
Senatorship, because Of an accident the vote on
the veto of the Civil Rights bill ought to elicit
the rebuke Of the Rutland Herald and Of all other
respectable newspapers The question was purely
one OF bodily necessty and did not admit Of any
other consideration or decision than a settlement
upon the Senator's own appetite. lie alone knew
whether he was hungry or thirsty and u he
erred, il was an error which he shared in common
with many distinguished Senator'S who, being
mortal, arc unable to resist the temptation Of
oysters, stewed or fried, and the foam OF Smiths
ale at luncheon time.
The Times promptly recorded the fact that Mr.
Edmunds was al sent, in the reireshment room,
when his name was called on the vote on the Civil
Rights bill. having retired from the Senate for a
few minutes on an assurance that the debate was
to go on No harm was done the Senator voted

Edmuuds had voted for the veto, aud against the
bill Does the Times hold that such vote could
not be criticised by Vermont press for any other
reason or motive than effect upon the Senatorial
question: Or even if the latter were really and
Ayowedly one motive for censure, by what rule is
it to be denounced as dishonorable?' We
think it would be very reasonable and very
strong objection to the Senator.

EcuaIfy and Treachery.

These two appellations, that stink
in the nostrils of every patriot, seem
TO travel together, and lately are often
found to dwell in the same bosom.
Whenever we hear an individual boast
of his "loyalty" we always look for
the other-treachery-and in eight
cases out Of ten, our suspicious are
verified, because like that other rule
that always holds good-the meaner
the prostitute the louder she proclaims
her virtue-so with %oyalty," those
who possess the least, proclaim it the
oudest. We are lead to these re-
marks, in looking over the names of
the dis-union ticket. Geary, the can
didate for Governor, is renegade
Democrat Scofeld, for Congress, do;
Chase, for Assembly, do; Hoover, for
Commissioner, do, and the President
of both the State and county Conven-
tions-Covode and Carlile-all have
betrayed their friends and sold their
birthrights for mess ofpottage. The
dis-union pill which the people are
called upon to swallow this fall is
therefore compound Of loyalty and
treachery, sugar-coated "Union Re-
publicanism," while in fact its leaders
belch for treason at every breath.

The Tennessee Rafiaoafiom.

The value of the action of the Ten
nessee Legislature in gratifying" as
Governor Brownlow announces, the
Constitutional amendment, is indica-
ted in the fact that the vote in the
lower house on the proposition is short
of quorum Of the bodyby two votes
Fifty-six is the requisite number to
constitute quorum, and there were
but fifty-four votes cast-43 for and
ii against the amendment. If these
were competent to take action, it is
curious that they did not do so earlier,
for it was with the view Of remedying
the difficulty in regard to the two
absentees that Governor Brownlow,
only day or two before, instigated
Major General Thomas TO telegraph
to Washington in order to get power
to use the military to compel their at
tendance. Being properly repulsed
however, by the War Department in
that matter, the Governor and the
trump" Of Legislature determined
to make a virtue of necessity, with
the above result.
There is about as much legality in
this act of Brownlow's Rump Legisla-
ture, as there isin horse-stealing. But
if a fragment of Congress can legis-
late for the whole country, why can
not fragment of the Tennessee Leg
islature enacts laws for that State
Both are loyal, if the members are a

A meeting OF leading conservative
gentlemen residing in Eric md War
rem counties was held in thiscity last
week, 10 consult upon th proper
course TO pursue in tho selection OF
delegates TO the Philadelphia Convon-
ton. II was agreed, in conformity
with the suggestions of thclN clNational
Committee, to appoint fourhelegates
for the district-two Democrats and
two Johnson Republicans. 1t was
further agreed that, as tht district
conference could not be helt in time,
and no other course in the seecton OF
delegates was attainable, Erie and
Warren counties should appoint one
of the Democratic delegates through
their county committees, leaving the
other counties to choose tie other.
This seems the best and quickest
course that can be adopted and it is
hoped that it will be satisfactory to
our friends in the eastern portion OF
the district.-Erie Observer.
The eastern end OF the distinct seems
to be nearly unanimously in favor OF
Ex-Governor Bigler and James B
Graham, Esq, for delegates to the
Philadelphia Convention. The ante
cedents of tho former are too well
known to need any explanation al
our hands The latter is a prominent
Republican, but a warn advocate Of
tho policy of President Johnston, and
is likely to be the conservative candi-
date for Congress this fall. They are
just the men for the position, and will
do honor to the district.

Only two Of the Federal oflice-hold-
era Of this county had the nerve to
show themselves at the Disunion Con-
vention in this place last week. Thor
absence will be claimed as evidence of
their support of the Presidents recon

gentlemen. You cannot deceive "the
Government" in this way. In speak

once said that the man who remained
silent when be heard the Administra-
ton assailed, should be marked as an
enemy. SO you may as well display
yo1r true colors. The President is
bound to have his offices filled by his
friends. If you are not honestly and
sincerely friends of his policy, you

affair in the Rump at Washington, has
been closed out. The resolution OF
the committee, expelling the former
was defeated by a decided vote but
one was adopted compelling him to
appear before the bar of the House,
and there be publicly reprimanded by
the Speaker. Mr.. Rousseau thereup-
on resigned his seat, and was on Fri.

We publish on our first page this
week another Veto Message from
President johnson. The dis-union
party seems to have great attachment
for bureaus, especially this negro con-
eern, which they have now passed
over the Presidents Veto. This new
Negro Bureau bill is gotten up for the
purpose Of furnishing electioneering
funds for the Radicals. 1t is the in
tention to plunder the Treasury OF
millions of dollars, ostensibly to feed
and clothe the negroes, but the real
purpose is to collect large corrup-
ton fund to use in carrying elections.
These Negro Bureau bills are the
channel by which the people are to be
robbed and the public Treasury de-
pleted. The bill was passed through
both houses by two-third vote, with
ont debate. The majority do all their
legislation by secret caucuses, and
merely vote in their respective halls
as . matter of form. This method OF
legislation is adopted to prevent pub
lie debate and controversy over the
iniquitous measures introduced by the
majority.

RIGHT FOR ONcE.-The Satanic
Brownlow, of Tennessee, having got
into squabble with his loyal Legisla-
ture, over the disunion amendments
to the Constitution, called upon Gen.
Thomas to help him with the military,
in order to compel a quorum of the
members to attend and pass them.
Gen. Thomas addressed the Secretary
of War upon the subject, who immedi-
ately telegraghed to him as follows /:
WASHINGTON, July l7.-General Grant will in
struct General Thomas that the facts stated in his
telegram do not warrant the interference of
the military authority. The administration of
the laws and the preservation of the peace in
Nashville belong properly to the State authorities.
and the duty Of the United States forces is not to
Interfere in any way in the controversy between
the political authorities Of the State, and General
Thomas will strictly abstain from any interference
between them. l.. NJ. STANTON,

with the present unsatisfactory relations of the

in the Cabinet. The President has
sent in the name OF Hon. Henry S.
Stansbury, Of KY, as his successor.
This gentleman was some time ago
appointed to fill the vacancy on the
United States Supreme Bench, but he
was rejected by the Senate, because
he was not a dis-unionist. We will
see whether they will reject him again.
We hope SO. The "irreprossible con-
flict' may as well be renewed again.

The u. s. Senaforship.

Our readers are well aware that
Cameron, Curtin aud Forney have an
nounced themselves throughout the
State as the Disunion candidates for
United States Senator. They have
been writing letters, making speeches,
and blowing generally over this ques.
ton. A number of individuals, who
evidently think more of the negro
than they do of white men, have
trotted out Thad Stevens for the
same position. Thad. has fred a red
hot shot into the Disunion candidates,
in the following style:
Il believe that Office when tendered) is not to
be declined without some strong reason But il
has been my oIinion that no man should make
himself candidate for it, or take any part in the
canvass. A person fit for that position ought TO
be discoversble without notice from himself or
recognized agents. This, however is matter Of
taste, about which there is difference of opinion,
and is not intended as criticism upon others, but
only TO account for my own course"
This is about the kind of an apology
one fellow would give another, after
having spit in his face. Loyalty" is
truly great thing.
