Senate of the United States over the veto of
the President, marks an era in our history
that will stand forth boldly in all time to
come. Its success in the Senate shows the
initiation OF powerful movement against the
President and the Conservative party.
The war between radicalism and conserva-
tism is now fairly commenced, and for this
the people may be thankful, because it takes
off an embargo from Congressional business
action. The work of regulating the finances,
the tariff, the foreign policy, and reconstruc-
tion. must move smoothly to consummation.
The financial and commercial stagnation of
the past three months must now be gradually
obliterated, and we trust that healthy feel
ing of confidence will spring up among the
people.
The Ledger and Age avoid any comments
ON the event. The North American says:-

"The President the exercise of his constitutions

a measure called the Civil Rights bill. The Senate
IN turn yesterday exercised It's constitutional pre-

measure should become law, independently of the
