act together to secure that desirable end
at the earliest possible moment. It is
hardly necessary for me to inform Con-
gress that, IN my own judgment, most of
those States, so far at least as depends
upon their action, have already been fully
restored and are to be deemed to be enti-
tied to enjoy their constitutional rights as
members of the Union. Reasoning from
the Constitution itself, and from the actual
situation OF the country, [ feel not only
entitled but bound to assume that, with
the Federal Courts restored In the several
States, and in the fail exercise of their
functions, the rights ana interests of all
classes OF the people will, with the aid of
the military, In cases of resistance to the
law, be essentially protected against un-
constitutional infringement aad violation.
Should this expectation unhappily fail.
which l do not anticipate, then the Exec
utlye is already armed with the powers
conferred by the act of March, 1865,
establishing the Freedmen's Bureau; and
hereafter, as heretofore, he can employ the
land and naval forces of the country to
suppress insurrection and to overcome
obstructions to the laws
L return the bill to the Senate in the
earnest hope that measure involving
questions and interests SO important 10 the
country will not become law unless upon
deliberate consideration by the people 1t
shall receive the sanction of an enlightened
public judgment ANDREW JOHNSON.

The SMOKY CIrY.-Pittsburg, the sec
ond city of The Stale, is rapidly improving
and well deserves its name of the Bir-
mingham of America. It's substantial
growth is indicated by the fact, that seven
years ago the city had but five banks, now
it has twenty, with clpital of S25, 5,000,-
600. 1t has five large cotton factories,
and seven wooden ones 1t has no less
than fifty glass making establishments,
which produced $4,000, 600 worth last
year. In the iron trade, the amount of
manufacture is immense The value of
its coal trade isestimased at S9,000.000,
while its oil trade and manufacture is put
at S25, 100000.

Tuesday last, yeas IA; nays go. This was n
m molli to give a bounty to soldiers who en-
listed previous to the year of 1869, and in
That year, before bountes were paid by the
General Government. We regret that this
bill was defeated, as large number of the
brave men who went from this State without
receiving dollar of bounty from any source
are interested in il. Mr. Riddle soted aoain,,

refused to grant n small remuneration in tbe
shape Of a bounty, to the brave men who

a WAR lNcIDENT.-Th following anec.
dote is now current in Florence;--A ballet.
dancer at Venice, while dancing at the theatre
mere, had a bouquet thrown 10 her. tied
with ribbon in the Italian colors. She
Immediately kissed the ribbon, which created
tremendous enthusiasm amongst the audi.
ence. After the performance she was called
TO the police office and sharply reprimapded
Tor this act of patriotism She excused her.
sen by saying that in kissing the bouquet
she had only followed the universal custom
on such occasions; but the authorities would
not accept this excuse, and told her that Mt
another time she should not kiss the bououet
but tread it under foot. The following even.
ing another bouquet was thrown. and the
dancer, in compliance with her instructions
trod 1t under foot, again amid frantic an.
plause. The ribbon round the bououet
was however, this time, not red, green and
white ribbon, but black and yellow--ths
colors OF Austria.
