ne, and when it is closed, their occupa-
ton will terminate.
In all our history, in all our experi-
ence as a people, living under Federal
and State law, no such system rs that
contemplated by the details Of this bill
has ever been proposed or adopted
They establish for the security of the
colored race safeguards which go inf.
nitely beyond any that the general gov
ernment has ever provided for the white
race. In fact, the distinction OF race
and color Is, by the bill, made to ope-
rate in favor of the colored and against
the municipal legislation of the States,
with relations existing exclusively be-
tween State and its citizens and be-
tween inhabitants, of the same State
and the absorption and assumption of
power by the general government,
which, if acquiesced in, must sap and
DESTROY our federal system of limited
powers, and break down the barriers
which preserve the rights of the States.
1t is another step, or rather stride,
towards Capitalization, and the concen-
tration of all legislative powers in the
national government. The tendency of
the bill must be to resuscitate the spirit
of rebellion, and to arrest those influ-
ences which are more closely drawing
around the States the bonds of union
and peace. -a .l
My lamented predecessor, in his proc
lamation of the lst of January, 1868,
ordered and declared that all persons
held as slaves within certain States and
parts of States therein designated, We're,
and therefore should be free: and furth
er, that the executive government of
the United States, including the mill
tary and naval authorities thereof,
would recognize and maintain the free
dom of such persons. This guaranty
has been rendered especially obligatory
and sound by the amendment of the
constitution abolishing slavery through.
out the United States. l therefore fully
recognize the obligation to protect and
defend that class of our people whenev-
er and wherever IL shall become neces-
sary, land to the full extent compatible
with the constitution Of the United
States. ''. .a. ..--w
Entertaining these sentiments. 1t on
ly remains for me to say that / will
cheerfully cooperate with Congress in
any measure that may be necessary for
the preservation Of the civil rights OF
freedmen, as we'll as those of other
classes of persons throughout the Unit.

constitution. .

The Religious Discussion.

An intense interest has been manifest
ed by all classes III the religious debate
now progressing. People have tlocked
hither from every township and town
in the county. The two champions
have their partisans, who are devotedly
attached to the advocates OF their doe
trine, who are depressed at his defeat,
and triumphant at his victories. Elder
ID. ID. Miller, the Disciples chieftain, is
tall, spare man, with saturnine
countenance, little given to sunshines
or smiles. His face is embroidered with
full beard, once dark, but now much
mixed with gray. He wears spectacles,
has peculiar bend OF body, n STOPPING
OF the shoulders, as If he had acquired
it by the constant habit of pcering into
mems faces. There Is that about him,
when makes us Imagine him to be a
disappointed Dlogenes,, who has such
little laith IN unbaptlzed humanity, he
almost ,n beeyes YES dnat man n cannot be
taken from the crowd ana he not he
Rev. John Bowman, his antagonist,
is his opposite i'm opinion, person, pecu-
liarities, and address. Shorter than Mr..
Miller, he is robust in body, though of
more rosy complexion, and broader fea-
lures. He is keen of sight, quick Of
purpose, and of unsparing spirit. A
phrenologist noticing his broad, round
head, wide, not high, but slightly re-
eeding forehead, would say he loved OPP
position. His firmness was developed
to stubborness, his combativeness and
destructiveness were great enough to
make him win in debate, quarrel, or
fight. Not many years ago, he had a
lengthy debate in Buffalo, N. Y, upon
similar subjects, with minister of the
same denomination to which Mr.. Mil
Ter belongs. "#Hst HH ,gt3i ~!
The few moments we have been able
to devote to this discussion, have been
sufficient to satisfy us I'm regard to the
logic, rheto ric and elocution OF the dis
putants. Mr.. Miller's style of utterance
is much against his cause. The uncom-
mon flow of words, many of them inco-
herent and all of them yelped forth
with surprising suddenness, and in a
voice inclined to be wispy, becomes at
times annoying to the listener. His
language Is uncouth, comparisons incl
egant, gestures wild and Inappropriate.
A bad utterance often spoils good ar
gument, an impediment of voice, the
soundest speech. Under these outward

Reese is an old Israelite and bachelor.
For the past several years he has been

No Union Victories 10 be Celebrated.

The cofored people Of Richmond pro-
posed and had announce grand cele-
brati0n, on the third Of April, Of the
anniversary of the evacuation Of that
city by the rebels and the entrance OF
Grants army. The Richmond Ehquiy-
CT has been for weeks protesting against
such u demonstration, and commits
tee of citizens visited Washington, ON
Thursday, demanding its prohibition.
President johnson yesterday issued an
order forbidding the proposed Celebra.r
ton. This IL u great rebel triumph,
If the anniversaries of the great Union
victories are not allowed to be celebrat-
cd In Richmond, the same reason should
preclude their celebration elsewhere
at the South, and hence loyal men liv-
ing south of the Ohio and the Potomac
are precluded the poor privilege Of
commemorative the great events Of
Richmond, Vickshurg, Gettysburg,
New Orleans, Atlanta, Savannah, the
surrender of Lee, AND the surrender Of
Johnston. These great events in the
national history are to be ignored, and
loyal hearts and loyal hands In rebel
States may not applaud upon the rccur-
ring anniversaries of those days which
witnessed the defeat of treason and the
triumph of the Union. The order for
the suppression of this celebration
comes from Andrew Johnson, who, o
few months ago, addressed q regiment
of negro troops, told them that II was
fallacy to assert that this WIS a white
mans government; and who told them
that they had full share in all Its glo-
rics andits triumphs, its blessings and
its liberties! ~ tf.#. a

LEARNING A TRADE.-A year or two
ago q man nearly forty years of age,
living In Marion county, went hopeless
ly blind. He became burden to HIM
self; and, on account of his dlsqualifl.
cation to take care of himself, was anx-
ious to die and get away from world
in which his usefulness was destroyed.
His mind suffered sadly under tho
affection, and his friends feared that In.
sanity would be added to blindness. He
was asked one day If he did not desire
to learn q trade? Plaintively he an
swercd: .'.
"lIow can do thiaa How can man
blind as i am, learn Il trade?" ..-.
" 1t is easily done" replied the friend
=" If you will take my advice, you will
be earning your living without diflicul-
ty i'm less than year. You can obtain
admission into the Blind Asylum at
Vinton and i'm short time, by appli-
cation, you will be ablo to make dol
lar and Il half day. You will then
feel comfortably independent. .... .
The blind man started to his feet, and
turning his sightless eyes toward tho
comforter, said:
"My dear friend, you give me new
life! God knows how anxious am to
do what you suggest. Let mo 60 at
once" ... .....
Not long afterward the man was ad-
mitted into the Asylum, and In less
than six months he became proficient
in the manufacture of brooms, and was
paying his way in the institution. A
few weeks since, Senator Henderson
saw him at Vinton, and pronounced
him to be, TO all human appearance,
the happiest man in Benton County

some atrocious crime, and gave rise to
the widest stories, and half the town
visited the depot to get u sight OF the
box and its mysterious contents. But

capitated body was simply tailor's
