ground. Talk about propriety When
propriety is made the ground OF veto,

Mr., Doolittle. I do not understand
that to be. stated as the ground OF the
veto.
Mr.. Fessenden. 1t is stated by the
President as another grave objection to
this bill.
Mr.. Fessenden continued his animad-
versions upon the veto message, stating
that if the President had simply dissent
ed from the freedmen's bill, nobody
would have submitted to it with better
grace than himself. His objection to II
was the argument used by the President
to sustain it. He contended for the
right of Congress to decide on the fitness
of the southern states for representation.
In conclusion, he gave his views on re-
construction, holding that, by the laws
of war, Congress had right to security
for the future. He was in favor of the
admission of southern members anc

sistent with the safety of the country.

mendation Of Gen. Grant in his report
to the President of his tour through the
South, transmitted to the senate, with a
message few weeks ago, it makes the
Bureau part of the, War Department of
the GOVERNMENTS
TX. That the bill did not contemplate
the appointment of agents and other of
! ficers in every county or parish, except
the President should, in his Judgment
deem such appointments necessary.
x. That what the President terms the
unconstitutional features ofthe bill, COIL
ferring arbitrary powers upon the Off
GERS of the Bureau, go no further than
the President himself and the officers of
the army acting under@hima have al
ready gone; and that it is competent for
Congress to provide all rules and regula-
tons for the government of the army
and navy, to which all are subject, from
the Commander in Chief to the humb-
lest soldier or sailor. o.
XII. That, if the rebellion is in all
respects at an end, the President is still
exercising the war power, such as the
suspension of the writ of habeas corpus,
contrary to the Constitution, which ex.
pressly states that this shall only be
suspended n time of invasion or rebel
lion; and, as we have no invasion, and
the writ is still in operation i'm portion
of the States, we must have q rebellion.
XII. That, according to the census of
1860, there were not four millions of
slaves in the United States, and that in
stead of this being measure to feed,
clothe and educate four millions of freed
men, the report of Gen. Howard shows
that at no time was there more than one
hundred and forty-seven thousand per-
sons under the care of the Bureau, fifty
seven thousand of whom were white
refugees. n 7f1f-- 80 t@
| XIII. That, according to the swoln
statement of Gen. Fisk before the Conn
mittee on Reconstruction of the twenty
| five thousand persons fed by the Bureau,
in Tennessee, sixteen thousand, five
hundred were white refugees.
XIV. That, instead of the freedmen
receiving protection from the civil courts
of the Southern States, and being Sc
cured by them in his rights, these states
have, almost without exception, enacted
through theirlegislatures, laws with ref.
erence to the freedmen as infamous and
oppressive as the black code of slavery.
XIV. That if the Presidents views
regarding the representation of the late
rebel states in Congress is correct, then
all the legislation of the past five years
is null and void. 90 ~-Afl'-

Rarely has more dignified, cogent,
conclusive argument been addressed to
either House of Congress than Mr..
Trumbull's review of the Presidents
Message vetoing the Freedmen's Bureau
bill. +,a %
l. That the bill itself was inspired by
the annual message Of the President of
the United States, delivered to Congress
at the commencement of the present
session. That message, it will be re-
membered, expressed desire upon the
part Of the President to secure all men
in their rights, and to protect the, freed
men in all the privileges guaranteed to
them under the Emancipation Procla-
nation; and, In the judgment of Mr.
| Trumbull and thirty-six senators who
voted with him for it on the 25th of
January, the provisions of this bill were
eminently calculated to accomplish
these objects. q.
III. THAT it was not. as the President
AYERS, an original measure, but simply
an amendment to the bill under which
the Freedmen's Bureau is now acting,
and which had the sanction of the Exc
cutive himself, as well as the great ma
| jority of the loyal people Of the country.
As an amendment it removes many of
the Objectionable features of the Bureau
as now organized, simplifying its rami-
fications and making it more efficient.
III. That it was not intended as
permanent part of the administrative
policy of the government--One of its sec
lions expressly stating, on the contrary,
that it shall remain i'm force until other
x.,;,o ,>rou;Jad hx, Ia az ~ irtot oo oil ofLar
laws of Congress are supposed to do.
The wonder Is that the President ever
thought of such an objection to it as this.
No such idea ever entered the mind of
any person WHO supported and voted
for it.
w. That, instead of being an extrav-
agant and Unnecessary expense to the
Government, it has Indirectly saved us
millions of dollars which would other
wise have been wasted. w
V. That the Bureau did not contem-
plate feeding, clothing and educating
the refugees and freedmen, but was rath-
er intended to assist them in doing all
these things for themselves. TT
vi. That instead Of IL being designed
exclusively for negroes, more white have
in some sections and in many intances,
been benefited by it than blacks, and
that the proportion of whites still need
ing its assistance is equal to that of the
negroes.
Il VII. That there was an immediate
necessity for the passage of the bill, be-
cause the original act creating the Blu
reau expires by limitation in the month
of May, 1856. ~
p VIII. That instead Of establishing
military Jurisdiction over all parts ofthe
United States containing refugees and
freedmen, it simply extends it over the
officers and employees of the bureau.
And that in accordance with the recon-

Mr.. Stevens, in the House. used that
foolish phrase about a British king losing
his head, which appears to have so greatly
and needlessly irritated Mr.. Johnson,
the whole country exclaimed against it
as an indecency, and even Mr. Stevens
must have felt that he had greatly in
jured his own cause by such words.
but the same sentiment OF proprlety
and respect which was shocked by the
Incorporate words of Messrs. Summer

| the uncalIed for and offensive retort Of
MFR. Johnson. We are not of those who
hold il improper for the President to

descend into the pit; and instead of

tate the noble patience with which
Abraham Lincoln bore far bitterer

They are too ill-judged and impulsive

them; and we count it no slight misfor-

President, the interests of the freedmen,

the General that he had in contempla-

from his Interpretation of the law the
Freedmen's Bureau would continue its
functions for a year from the date of the
proclamation. He intimated no desire
