CHANGE oE SENTIMENT.

In July, 1854, the United States Senate
passed bill to exclude the eleven rebel
States from voting for President and from
representation in Congress until Congress
shall have declared the termination OF the
rebellion. The bill read as follows:
That when the inhabitants of any State have
been declared in state of insurrection against
the United States by proclamation of the Presi-
dent by force and virtue of the act entitled" An
act further to provide for the collection OF du-
ties ON imports. and for other purposes, ap-
proved July I3, 1861, they shall be, and are
hereby declared to be, incapable of casting any
vote for electors of President and Vice RresI-
dent of the United States or of electing Sena-
tors or representatives in Congress, until said
insurrection in said State is suppressed or aban-
doped. and said Inhabitants have returned to
their obedience to the Government OF the Uni
ted States, nor until such return TO obedience
shall be declared by proclamation OF the Pres
dent, issued by virtue of an act oil Congress,
hereafter to be passed, authorizing the same.n
The bill passed the Senate by 26 votes,
among which were Reverdy johnson, Nc
Dougall, of California, and Riddle, of Del
aware-three Democratic Senators-and
Doolittle and Morgan, who now seem to
have experienced change, and Mr.. HaI-
Ian. present member of Mr.. Johnson's
Cabinet. tr

EFFEcrs OF rHEvETO IN THE SOUTH

RFFECTs OF THEVETO IN THE SOUTH.
General Howard has received number oftel-
egrams from Assistant Commissioners in the
so-called restored statesS They represent that
the veto is hailed by the enemies of the Govern
ment with much jubilance and enthusiasm, and
that they have become troublesome; also, that
disorders and outrages are increasing. They
state that the civilians and agents of the Bu-
reau are paralyzed, and request the Commits
sioner to detail as agents true and tried officers
of the Union army. The freedmen, under
standing from the enemies of the country, that
the Government protection is to be withdrawn,
are uneasy and disposed to leave the States.
The Congressional Judiciary Committees, it
is understood, have agreed to report back to the
House, favorably, Mr.. Stevens bill in relation
to tenure of office of Presidential appointees.
The bill provides that no removals from Office
can be made by the President, except By and
with the consent of the Senate. The bill, ii it
passes, will be vetoed of fcourse.

ITEMS FOR COPPERHRAD ENDORSE.
4 MENT.


In a conversation with Gov. Cox, President
johnson declared that he was ''nOt opposed to
the idea of the Freedmen's Bureau i1s toto, for
he had used it and was still using it. 1t might
continue for period of more than a year, yet
he had contemplated that either by aproclama-
tion of his own, or by some action of Congress,
the condition of peace, the technical end of re-
bellion, would probably be declared at some
period not very remote, and as he understood
the present law, the Bureau might continue a
wear from that time Meanwhile, he could say
to the South, it depends upon yourselves to say
whether the Bureau shall be discontinued at an
earlieS day, for will put an end to it just as
soon as you make it unnecessary for the pro-
lection of the freedmen 1f.
In regard to representation in Congress, the
President said that he ''tooalld admit only such
Representatives as are IN fact loyal men, gtUtHg
satisfactory evidence Of this. Whenever State
or district sent q loyal man, properly elected
and qualified, he would think it right to admit
him, the same as from any other State, and he
aoould admit none but such loyal men, SO that
other States or districts may be thus induced TO
elect and send similar men,"
The President was also of opinion THAT leg
islation could properly be made BY Congress,
purely civil in its character, providing for the
protection of the freedmen by the United States
Courts of inferior jurisdiction in all cases where
the States did not do so themselves" ilis
Finally, Mr.. johnson professed that "his
whole heart was with the body of true men who
had carried the country through the war, and
he earnestly desired to maintain cordial and
perfect understanding with them" e.
Swallow these pellets, ye "loyal' copper
headsl If you can retain them in your mori-
bund systems, even you may yet taste the Joys
of political salvation. But we have little hope
that you will really take the dose. Your en-
aorsement of the President extends to those
points only in which he differs from the great
mass of the true and loyal. By flattery, you
would draw him away from his real friends and
commit him to your schems Of treason and
party aggrandizement. From this letter of
Gov. Oox's, we infer that you have not yet sue
ceeded in your wicked purpose.

OHIO LEGISLATURE.

FEB. 81, Senate.-The Senate passed Mr..
Williamson's bill to permit water transporta.
ton companies to hold real estate in other
States, and Senator Kellogg's bill repeating the
militia law. - ...-s
HouSe-A bill was introduced in the House,
providing for the erection of a new Lunatic
Asylum, and for the enlargement of that at
Newburg, also one to allow County Commits
sioners to receive bequests and donations for the
erection of monuments to our fallen heroes OF
the late war.
Mr.. Steedman's bill to authorize the incor-
poration of live stock Insurance Companies
was passed The Committee on Commerce re-
ported adversely to the prayer Of a petition,
asking for the exemption of cheese manufac-
turers from taxation. The bill amending the
law disfranchising deserters, was elaborately
discussed by Messrs. Rhodes of Morrow, and
Encell, of Summit, both in favor of the meas
ure. 1t was returned to the table. The resolu-
ton relative to salute in honor of President
Johnson's veto message was taken up, when
MraScheneider, the live member from Stark,
offered the following as a substitute:
ResoIUed, By the General Assembly of the
State of Ohio, That the Vallandigham wing of
the Democratic party, having failed to embrace
the opportunity of smelling gunpowder offered
during the past five years, and having no occa-
sion for rejoicing, for the discharge of artillery
on the downfall of the rebellion, be authorized
and requested, to fire as many guns as they
please in honor of the veto message OF Presi-
dent johnson.
RESOLVED, That since Glen. L. Vallandgham
and his political brethren found no occasion 10
hoist the stars and stripes during the struggle
of the republic for its life, we deem it eminent
ly proper that such distinguished champions of
the national flag should now display it upon
their house tops and turn their eyes upon it
instead of their backs, as they did in the days
when they watched and waited on the border.
The resolution and substitute were laid on
the table. Both Houses have adjourned over
till next Tuesday, as tomorrow is the Anniver-
sary of Washington's birth day, and as this is
the week for the regular three days recess
The conservatives and copperheads are doing
their utmost to get up mass meeting here, to
endorse the Presidents veto message. If they
succeed, few Union men will have anything to
do with it. 1t will be nothing more than a
Democratic affair.

NEW DECLARATIONS BY THE PREsI-
DENT .-.. ..-.

The President has had a conversation with
Gov. Cox, of Ohio, an authorized report Of
which has been given to the public. This af-
fords some ground for hope that Mr.. johnson
does not intend to desert the party that elected
him and we venture to say that the Copper
heads on reading it will arrive at the conclu-
sion that they were too fast in Endorsing his
policy" The policy as thus announced they
certainly cannot indorse, without undergoing a
great change of heart. The idea advanced that
the Freedmens Bureau bill is TO be maintained,
and that none but truly loyal men are to be ad-
mitted to Congress, will especially prove dis
tasteful.

The Philadelphia Press divides the Presi-
dents speech by sub-heads, giving sort of
analysis of the character of the several para
graphs. They run something after this fashion:
The action of Congress denounced as Revolu-

as Traitors with Davis, Toombs and Sldell-
Earthquakes, Patchwork, Rise and Progress
from an Aldermanic to a Presidential Chair
and Defiance of Assassins-Assassins, having

pointed under the existing law. The bill in

WAsH1YoroN, D. O., Feb. 22d, 1856.

An interesting and unusual scene occurred
in tine Senate Yesterday. That assembly of
sober dignitaries who have been for several
wears strangers TO scenes of excitement
and especially of bullyism, were yesterday
startled by the sudden appearance IN their
midst of that naughty, domineerlng spirit, that
for years ruled the deliberations OF that august
body. Soon after the Senate had closed Exc
cutiye Session, Senator Wade, in his usual
frank and candid manner, approached Senator
Stewart. of Nevada, who by the way is one OF
the weak-kneed veto-endorsers and, perhaps
wife more apparent sincerity than diplomatic
suayity, said. dlf we had known that you were
going to desert US. we would not have let you
In.e Mr. Stewart Immediately became en-
ragad and-in default of words 10 vindicaie his
honor was in the act of making an assault upon
the veteran Senator, when Senator johnson IN
terposed and prevented a serious collision. Of
course "old Ben" was perfectly calm and COM
posed-having been witness oil much more
serious and terrifying scenes in other days,
when other men, and another party ruled the
legislation of the country, MI, Stewart is com
paratively young man, and with out little
ernerierce in public laifaifs' @ai s -tf az
The President is determined to force his pol
icy upon the people, andis placing his whole
Datronace at tie disposal of the weak-kneed
Senators, who Support him and his policy. The
evening before the veto message was acted upon
in the Senate, Senator Morgan was closeted
with Secretary Seward, who assured him that
the New York patronage would be at his dis
posal in the event of his voting to sustain the
President. Other Senators were similarly la
bored with, and as consequence, the people
were betrayed. Ex-Governor Randall, OF WIS
consin. will doubtless succeed Secretary Har-
Ian. The conflict has commenced, and there is
no neutrallground. Thepeople must know all
the facts in the case and truth and justice will
finally triumph; treason, corruption, and all
the articles of crafty politicians to the contrary
notwithstanding. u.
