THE PRESIDENT ALAw BREAKER,

The New York Tribune, of Wednesday,
thus shows up the scrupulous regard which
Mr.. johnson processes to have for law, as
exhibited by himself in his recent veto mes
sages:
1.-THE Presidents communication in refer
ence to Oaths of Office that were not taken
in the Southern States, will meet with popu-
lar comment on one or two points First,
the President, with several of his Cabinet,
blankly acknowledge that they have DISC
beyed positive law of the land in appoint
ing to office presupposed enemies of the Go
vernment who could not take the oath OF
loyalty. Second, it is averred that such dis
regard of the law was necessary to collect
the revenue and run the mails. No one, -
says the official dispatch, ''could have re-
GREETED more than the President and Cabi-
net the necessity which existed for this
course; but there seemed no alternative; and
it was confidently hoped that, under the cir
culnstances Of the case, it would be approved
by Congress. This looks like begging the
question. The public will WONDER in view
OF the severe oyerstrain of several vetoes tC
prove the Freedmen's and Civil Rights bills
Unconstitutional, how it came to pass thai
the President himself could break so plain t
law. But their surprise will not cease here
Ii it was necessary 10 modify the law in
order to collect the revenue, why was moi
Congress at once summoned to do it?"

SALISBURY AGAIN.

They-the Cops-had 'sort of meet
ing" at Washington on Monday evening
las. for the purpose of fixing up things for
the party, previous to the formal advent OF
'incoherent Andy therein. Mr. Salisbury
of this State was invited to "speak piece, ~
which he did somewhat after this fashion,
"Mr, Salisbury said he was tired of sup
porting man who would not help himself.
He was a warm personal friend OF President
johnson, but he was tired of supporting a
man who let the Connecticut State election
go against him when he could have prevented
it; who gives his offices to men who are his
personal enemies; who keeps a Cabinet
about him not one of whom is friend to
him, and who has scarcely a member in
Congress to support his measures.
Is Mr.. Salisbury becoming a radical9 He
is tired of the conservatism of the President
and would like him to make smash-up OF
things generally. Again we ask is Sauls-
bury becoming radical?

In the United States Senate on Monday
Mr.. Sherman introduced bill providing for
the withdrawal Of part Of the currency dis
tributed to the national banks, so that one
half OF the three hundred millions can be
distributed among the different States in the
proportion OF their population. The Loan
Bill, as passed by the House, was passed
yeas 80, nays z. Adjourned.
The House of Representatives postponed
for two weeks the resolution introduced on
the 10th OF January declaring entire conf
dence in the patriotism and ability of the
President of the United States, and in his
desire to restore the Union on the basis Of
permanent prosperity and peace. The Ju-
dietary Committee, by resolution, was in
structed to inquire into the expediency of
extending the rights of naturalization to per-
sons enlisted in the navy, the same as those
enlisted in the army. Mr.. Stevens offered a
resolution requesting the Secretary OF the
Treasury to Withhold from distribution tho
proceeds of captured rebel property until the
cases have been determined upon by the Su,
preme Court. Adopted The Civil Rights

ruE OIvIL nIoHTs BILL.

We cannot lay before our readers in
more brief and comprehensive manner the
main points of interest in the Civil Rights
Bill which has just passed Congress, than
by giving the following article from the
Philadelphia American Of Tuesday,
"The United States House of Representa-
tives having, yesterday, by the overwhelm-
ing vote of 1879 to Al, passed the Civil Rights
bill over the Presidents veto, as il came
from the Senate, it is now law, Our noble
phalanx in the House stood up as manfully
on this occasion as it has done on every
other occasion of any Importance during the
present session. This is the first political
measure of the session that has become a
law, and it is decidedly the most momentous
we are likely TO have this session. 1t is no
wonder that the copperheads and their allies
resist it so fiercelY, for it is the great char.
ter of freedom and equal rights, and must
forever strike down the enemies of popular
liberty in this free republic.
1t does not confer the suffrage upon every
man in this country, nor does it in any way
undertake to deal with that subject. 1t de
clares every person born in this land to be a
citizen of the United States, and throws ovei
such persons the national guardianship. Il
secures to all such, without any distinction o.
race or color, the right to testify in courts o
| justice, or in law proceedings of any kind; Il
sue and be sued; to plead and to be inplead
ed; to hold property; to conduct business; II
be free from outrage in person or property
and to enjoy all the liberties peculiar TO ou
institutions except suffrage. This does not
however, include any right 10 sit on jurie
or TO hold office, or to go in any car, coach
hotel, church, public place, etc, where tn
local regulations prohibit it. II, in fact, i
only law to protect the rights of person
and property. 1t does not undertake to dea
with political rights at all, nor does il med
die with the social position of any race o
class,

OBITUARY.

Died in Wilmington, February 9lst, 1866,
JOHN O'DoNNEL1., in the 27th year of his
age.
Death is at all times an unwelcome visitor
In the present instance his coming, though
not unlocked for, has caused pang of sor-
row to enter the hearts, not only of the rela-
tives of the deceased, but of those of n large
circle of friends and acquaintanccs, to whom
he was endeared by all those qualities which
tend to make n man beloved and respected
by his fellows. In his early manhood he is
taken from u.s. and we shall see him no more
on earth; but there is consolation in the as
surance we feel that his immortal spirit has
winged its way to brighter and better land
beyond the Skies where sickness and sorrow
and death are unknown and where he awaits
the coming Of those who were dear to him
on earth For him the grim monster had no
tewors; he calmly awaited the summons, and
with Christian resignation, bowed to the
mandate of Him whose works to us may
sometimes be incomprehensible, yet who, in
His Omniscience, doeth all things we'll. Let
us so demean ourselves that when we shall
be called to sever the ties that bind us to
earth, we may like our deceased friend,
cheeriully obey, in the full hope of blessed
immortality. B
