OF the Government as well az to quiet the
uncertainty which exists in the minds Of
the people OF the eleven States which
have been declared IN instruction, no
Senator or Representative shall be admit
ted into either branch of Congress from
any of said States tin Congress shall have
declared such States entitled to rcpreseu-
tation.
Several Republicans voted with the
minority This resolution is an emphatic
expression Of the opinion of Congress that
that belly alone has the reconstructive
authority, and that they are ready to
assume the responsibility In the House.
Mr. Woodbridge OF Vermont, offered Il
resolution which was adopted, requesting
the President to communicate all infor-
nation in his possession in relation to the
distribution of rewards offered by the gov
eminent for the arrest of the assassins of
Mr.. Lincoln. A resolution was also
adopted asking the President to furnish
any information in reference TO the term

Mr.. Delano, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Claims, presented the following
resolution with reference to claims from
citizens of states lately in rebelliSn, grow
ing out Of the destruction of, or damnoe
to, property by the army or navy while
engaged in supprcasing the rebellion:
HeSOtcect, That until otherwise ordered
the Committee of Claims be instructed to
reject all claims referred to them for eX
animation, by citizens Of any OF the States
lately in rebellion, growing out of the
destruction or appropriation of or damage
TO property by the army or navy while
engaged in suppressing the rebellion.
The reasoning which led 10 this recon-
mendation seems to have been the necess-
iiy of establishing uniform rule, the dill
fculty of examining the particulars of
each case 50 infinitely as to prcyen fraud
and imposition against government, and
the immense representations to the nation
al debt in case compensation to this nu-
merous class of claimants is allowed.
While we deplore most deeply any addi-
tions TO the claims upon our already mad
equate revenues, we hope Congress will
consider well before such a sweeping re-
lection of the claims of loyal citizens to
decentralization for losses sustained in the
war be passed.

The following remarks on the Presi-
dents Veto are from the Norfolk (Va.)
IoSt, and seem to deserve wider crcu-
lation than they have yet attained:
''Slnce the morning Of July %, 1861,
when news oil the great Southern victory
achieved by Beauregard over Mcdowell,
and the awful rout of the Federal Army
on the plains Of Manassas, was borne
through the South on the wings of the
wind, as 1t were, carrying joy and .jubll-
alton INTO every loyal southern household,
and gladdening every true southern heart,
there has been no news received with so
much rejoicing by the people of the South
as that informing them that the President
had vetoed the Freedmens Bureau bill.
lhIs Is the greatest victory they have
achieved during the war-greater than
any ieats OF arms of Stonewall jackson, or
OF Robert +. Lee, and has given them
more pleasure than had Gen. Lee been
elected Governor Of Virginia. They have
found an ally in President johnson worth
more to them than the alliance of France
or England, and they now rejoice to see,
even as they saw toreshadowed at Man.
assas, the final triumph of the great
Southern cause. The Republicans have
been ANONYMOUSLY defeated and driven
from the field, and nothing can save them
from total humiliation All that is
necessary for the South TO do is to con-
tinue to hold up the Presidents hands
and wage an unceasing and bitter war
against the Republican Congress. The
stone which the builders rejected has
become the head of the corner, and An
drew johnson is now enshrined in every
loyal Southern heart. They will accept
no terms from the Radicals They ask
Tor none and expect none. The fanatics
may roar and hiss, bat their claws are
out, and their fanSs are posoness The
watchword must heneeforlh be, johnson
and Victory J and although the odds are
as four to one against than, did they not
carry on four years Of open war in the
field successfully, against still greater
odds A fig for your Republican Con,
sress We have a President with abso-
lutte powers, who can carry on Govern
ment good enough for this section without
the assistance OF Congress.
