Inere Is some nope that Congress Will
be enabled to give the bill the necessary
two-thirds majority to make it law
notwithstanding the veto. This hope
is quite strong with some, but with US,
we confess, it is quite faint.
President Johnson and the Connecticut
Election.
When President Johnson assured Gen.
Hawley, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of Connecticut, in a recent per-
sonal conference, that he was DESTROYS
to see him Hawleyj elected, and in all
cases opposed to the triumph of that
party which, during the war, had up
held the Rebellion, and exerted an in
fluence opposed to the perpetuity of the
Union, we were inclined to believe that
he honestly represented his opinions.
Our faith is somewhat shaken by the
publication of the following correspon-
dence:
PosrorFIcE, HARTFORD, Conn.,,
March 2lst, 1866. (
SIR: am now engaged in publicly advocat-
ing the election of Joseph +. English as candi-
date for Governor of Connecticut-a gentleman
who is openly committed to the support OF
your veto, ana the defence of your speech of
the 22d Of February. and of your policy of res
toration III opposition to the disunionists of
Congress.
am opposing the election of Gen. Joseph
Hawley, who openly disapproyes of your veto
and your 22d of February speech. and who de-
radical majority of Congress.
If my political action is not satisfactory TO
you You; beg You to receive my resignation as
have the honor to remain, As ever. your
His Excellcncy. Andrew. Johnson, President of
the United States.
The President made the following in
dorsement on the letter, and returned it
to the patriotic writer:
Your political action in upholdlng my meas
ures and policy is approved. Your resignation
IN therefore not accepted, but is herewith re-
turned. (Signed,J
ANDREW JOHNSON
Now here is lack of harmony in
Presidential expressions which we can
not satisfactorily account for. One of
three things is certain: either the con-
ference between the President and Gen.
Hawley is not correctly reported, the
Executive never made that Endorsement
Oh Clcveland's letter, or he is dishonest
ly two-faced. We incline to the belief
that the result of the interview between
himself and Gen. Hawley was not cor
rectly understood.
THE people Of Butler County are
again supplied with county paper
John Palmer, the efficient County
Treasurer OF that County, and his son
w. S. Palmer, have resurrected from the
defunct Aigus clean little sheet to
which they give the horrible name of
.SyiiettO. The Judge has had experience
as an editor and his son as practical
printer We wish the firm and their
little dagger" abundant success and
length of days, Notwithstanding the
structures of our usually gentle cotem-
porary at Waverly, and the reverbera-
ting echo Of our friend at Independence
who had the misfortune of knowing
nothing more of the new paper and it's
proprietOrs than was to be found in an
ill-tempered newspaper item. Judge
Palmer may be very mean man; but
if he is, we confess he has succeeded in
50 binding US to his faults that we have
been led to believe him about as good u
chap as this western country affords.
Col. NJ. NJ. TRUMBULL, late of the
9th Iowa Cavalry, was invited on the
ODD inst, while at Des Moines, to adj
dress the House of Representatives,
The Colonel accepted the invitation,
and made brief address by which it is
plain to be seen that the Colonel is of
opinion that the Presidential policy is
not just the best that might be for de-
stroying the spirit Of rebellion. The
Colonels opinion is based on personal
experience among the reconstructed
rebels of Arkansas, and being an old
and faithful soldier his words are cer-
tainly entitled to attention. He advis-
ed the members to stand by Congress if
they desired peace, justice, liberty and
a fully restored and honored nationality.
The opposition wiggled little, and
Wilson, of Dubuque, protested against
a political harangue." Poor Wilson
LEGRAND BYINGToN has probably
concluded by this time that cheating
the Revenue is Improbable business
Being so much of Copperhead and
having such revolutionary inclinations
toward the Government, he has all
along refused to use stamps as provided
by the Internal Revenue Law. Action
was brought against him, and his case
came up at the recent sitting of the
United States Court at Keokuk. Lee
Grand let the case go by default. He
probably thought the" Jacobins" would
spot him, do what he might to avert the
impending blow. The Court imposed
upon him fines amounting to 81 800 and
costs to the amount of ahOnt S5nO The
