The bill charging the powers Of the Freedmens Blu
reau, which some days ago passed both houses Of
Congress by than three-fourths affirmative vote
in each yesterday vetoed by President johnson in
a message which he transmitted to the Senate The
President states that 1t is with much regret that he is
compelled to differ with Congress in Withholding his
signature from the BILL but that after careful consider
alton he is satisfied that it contains provisions which
both unconstitutional and inconsistent with the
public welfare He reerates the expression Of his strong
and protection Of their rights, but believes that the
Bureau as it exists Isl for the present at least sufficient
for the purposes which its establishment was designed to
accomplish. he objects to the vast arbitrary and
despotc power which the measure gives to an i'm
mense number Of officers and agents. Its provisions
allowing the civil law TO be completely overrdden by
the military, the enormous expenditure which 1t will
involve, and deprecates the natural inference its
adoption that the country Is still in state Of war and
thence proceeds to review the condition Of tho Southern
States and his reconstruction policy. ~

cia circles in Washington The conclusion reading
in the Senate followed by great cheering kissing
