VIEWS OF THO PREss.

WASHINGTON, Feb Z0.-The President,
veto Message is all the talk The first re-
mark of everybody is that the President die
not write it. The next remark is that the
President has separated from the majority il
Congress and gone over to theother side. AL
agree that the Message is most ably written
admirable in argument and with incontro.
yertible points The common beliefs thai
Seward wrote or revised it, hence comes the
suspicion as to how the Cabinet stood, and
report says that Seward, McCulloch, Welles
and Dennison favored the veto, the others OPP
posing. The effect here is marked. Both
Joy and anger and perhaps dismay are ex-
hibited. 1t is only too apparent that the
breach is widening between the President and
the party. Whether it is too vide for either
to Jump across or whether either is disposed
to Jump remains to be seen. The veto having
been addressed to the Senate the question
comes up at once whether the bill should pass
over the veto. Lost-ayes, 80 noes, 18 mot
two, thirds. The question cannot, therefore,
reach theHouse The veto having been put
on general grounds no attempt will be made
to pass another freedmen's bill. The whole
question of reconstruction becomes muddled.
i
civil rights bill, pending. in the House. 1t is
more doubtful since Summers radical opposi-
ton, if the constitutional Amendment passes
the Senate. Speaking plainly, things are
mixed.
WAsHINGToN. Feb. 2o.-Tn the House this
morning, Stevens, Of Pennsylvania, from the
joint committee. reported a resolution declar-
ing that in order to close agitation on the
question which seems likely to disturb the
action of the government, as well as to quiet
uncertainty which exists in the minds OF the
people of the eleven States declared to be In
insurreetion, no Senators or Representatives
shall be admitted into Congress from either
of the said States until Congress shall have
declared such States entitled to such repre-
sentation. Upon this, Stevens demanded the
previous question, and much excitement fol-
lowed, with dilatory motions to staVe of a
vJte.
Eldridge, Of Wisconsin, said if the other
side would allow debate his side would stop.
Stevens, of Penn, replied that he had sat
here forty EIGHT hours when the rebels were
out and could now stand it thirty six hours
longer. K.f8E9 fH
Dilatory motions continued TIL Ills, P. NJ,
when the resolution passed: 100 against 40.
As soon as the Senate met Wade, of Ohio,
offered a resolution to amend the Constitu-
ton providing the President shall be ineligi
BILE for second term.
Rumor says both Stanton and Harlan will
resign in consequence of the veto.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-On account of the
excitement attending the veto, the usual
reception was notheld lasteven-
ing.
The character those who serenaded the
President Monday night may be judged by
the circumstance that the prominent leaders
of the crowd walked up to the bar at Will
lard's Hotel and with great parade drank a.
toast to the three greatest Americans-Jef-
ferson Davis, Andrew johnson and Robert
E. Lee.
The following are the ayes and noes in the
Senate on the passage of the bill over the yoto:
Ayes-Antho1y, Brown, Chandler, Clark,
Conness, Cragin, CressweTl, Crittenden, Fow
Ter, Grimes, Harris, Henderson, Howard Howe,
Kirkwood, Lane, of Indiana, Lane, of Kansas,
Nye, Pollard, Pomeroy, Aoirill, Ramsey, Sher-
man, Sprague, Sumner, Trumbul, Wade,
Williams, Wilson, Yates.
Noes-Buckalew, Cowan,- Davis, Dixon,
Doolittle, Guthrie, Hendricks, Johnson, Nc
Donegal, Morgan, Nesmith, Norton, Riddle,
Salisbury, Stewart, Stockton, Van Wrinkle,
Buckley.
Except that the veto has demonstrated
there is not two-thirds majority in the SEN
ate. the President has gained nothing. The
majority OF thirty against him is stronger
than ever.
The reconstruction committee although
prepared to report favorablY on the admission
of Tennessee, has postponed ali action on the
case, and it is doubtful if any Southern State
will be admitted this Congress.
Ben, Wade in speech yesterday denounced
the President and said that any one who
would favor the admission of the unwashed
traitors to Congress, was himself traitor at
heart.
WAsRIxeToN, Feb. 21.-The Senate Com
mittee on the District of Columbia have de-
cided to report the House bill comforting ne
gro suffrage in the District, and recommend
its immediate passage. Morrill,, of Vermont,
in the House, speaking upon the finance bill,
said it was not in order to alludge to what.
had recently taken place in the Senate, but
happen what may Union men will not forget
that they have country to save. He pro-
ceeded to explain the financial situation.
Further consideration of the bill was post
poned.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l-In the House to-
day, Garfield, of Ohio, caused to be read al
telegram from Columbus, Ohio, giving res
olution adopted by the caucus of the Union
of the Legislature, sustaining the
plan of reconstruction.
