Mr.. DOOlittle rose to say that he understood
the President to discuss the propriety, and not
the power, to legislate without the Southern
members.
Mr.. Fessenden.-But, sir, he makes that oae
ground of his veto. If he can veto this bill
on that ground, he can and will, for the sake
OF consistency, veto every other bill OH the
same ground. Talk about propriety when
proprety is made the ground of veto. This
sense OF propriety goes to every oaher bill.
Mr.. Doolitcle.-I do not understand that to
to.stated as the ground of the veto.
Mr.. Fessenden.-It is stated by the Presi-
dent as another grave objection to the bill.
Mr.. Fessenden continued his animadversions
upon the veto message, stating if the Presi-
dent had simply dissented from the Freed
mems Bureau bill, nobody would have sub
mitted to- it with better grace than himself.
His objection to it was the argument used by
the PRESIDENT to sustain it. He contended
for the right of Congress to decide on the fit
ness OF the Southern States for representation.
In conclusion, he gave his views on recon-
struction, holding that by the laws of war Con-
gIess had right to security for the future
