the most delicate and costly kind.

place. in which four lawyers participated; after
which the judges held long, serious aud exciting
discussion on the subject, and finally, in very
formal and pompous manner, stated that II was
the opinion of the court that the question should

THE CoorER INSTITUTE MEErrSo.-A New York
correspondent gives some interesting particulars
In regard to the meeting held In that city to sup
port the veto message.
Had the veto stood alone without the nddcnda
OF the speech on the 22l, the President would
have swept this city; but the speech and the action
of the men who have all along opposed the war
and took no pains to conceal their sympathies
with the South, has closed the mouths Of loyal
men who really approve tho veto. Men who are
ringing bells and firing cannon are not the men
upon whom the government has relied to carry
the war To n successful issue. And men who have
been fighting secessionists at home and rebels
abroad, do not like abanquet ut which the copper
heads preside. In the midst Of tho highest enhu
siasm ut the veto meeting something seemed to be
the matter. Earnest men pressed themselves
through the crowd to deliver telegraph dispatch.

meeting. Soon ii was whispered about that some-
thing was wrong at Washington. Before Mr..
Raymond spoke II was known that he had recei.
we'd telegram from Washington stating that the
President had denounced Congress. classed Mr..
Sumner and Stevens with Toombs and Davis and
had gone over to the Democrats. Similar mes.

gMr. Fessenden In his speech in the Sen tie
Friday alluded to the course Of, certain Senator's
now and less than two years since. Senators Dho
little, Johnson and Dixon attacked the resolution
declaratory Of the power Of Congress over the
subject Of representation from the Rebel States on
the ground that there Is no constitutional power
TO pass such resolution. Let us zee, said Mr..
Fessenden. how long these gentlemen have been
OF this opinion. He then read from the act ofJu.
ly, 1854 being tho reconstruction bill which Mr..
Lincoln iil not sign, and which brought out
Wade Davis manifesto, showing that the Sensts
had then voted that none Of these rebellious Sttrs
should he admitted to representation ill tho Pre-
sident, by n Proclamation issued in pursuance of
an act Of Congress, should declare them entitled
thereto. lie read the list OF yeas and nays on the
passage Of tho bill, and Messrs Doolittle, Dixon,

and his quick perception Of It's novel chsracteris.
tics are such, that on the claims OF specifications
prepared by him there is little or no chance t"r
the infringer to evade the patents. For thirty
wears or more he has devoted his entire time and

DooLlrrLE AT IIoME.-The detection of Mr..
Doolittlo has attracted tho attention Of the Ls-
gslature of the State of which Mr.. Doolittle
represents. Wisconsin most emphatically con.
demns the Presidents veto in the following reso.
lution-for which all the Republicans in both
Houses voted:
We should be guilty of dcceiving the President
and OF incorporating our constituents, IL we
failed, at this time, to declare that his message
vetoing the Pfeedmen's Bureau Bill, in its gene
raj tone and spirit. has caused pain and disap-
pointmrnt among his true friends and supporters
In our State. and has been hailed with exhuber-
Joy and exultation by every man who sympaihi

MlsslsslrrI.-The Civil Rights bill to enforce
civil rights to all men alike in the rebel States
has passed the U. s. Senate, but at this time
has not been reached in the House. The Now
York Tribune, speaking of this bill, says:
The Cincinnati Commercial has q letter from
n correspondent travelling through Mississippi.
who states that the bnrbarous vagrant law recent.
IN passed. by the rebel State Legislature is riGdy
enforced and under its provisions the freed slaves
are rapidly being rc-enslsved. No negro is allow.
ed to buy rent or lease any real estate all minors
of any value are taken from their parents q, d
bound out to planters and every freedman who
does not contract for n years labor Is taken up
n vagrant. The officers OF the Preelmen's Bureau
arc often not accessible, and the freedmen kept
back, by the distance, from complaining. Final.
y, as the writer estimates, II would take an army
Of 20 900 men to compel the planters to do justice
10 the freedmen. Mr.. Trumhull's hill takes right
hold Of this matter, and subjects the oppres.ors
10 pains and penalties which they will seldom
choose TO invoke. We pray that II be passed soon,
even though II should cost the oopperhc,ds and
impcnitent rebels more than they can well afford
to pay for tho powder they will expcnd in celc-
brating tho Veto.
