THE LAST VITO.

The excitement over The veto Of the supple
mental reconstruction bill was very grear IN
both halls OF Congress yesterday afternoon.
SO great as 10 generate the impression that an
other extra session, to commence about the
middle OF October would lixeIy be determined
upon. This forenoon. however, this excite
ment had 80 abated as that at one p. m it was
generally believed, in the Capitol building,
that An adjournment over until the first Mon
day In December would take place in the
course OF the day. It was judged safe for
Congress to thus adjourn over, as the Presi.
dent has beer legislated as powerless to carry
out bis "poiicy" as Congress can possibly make
him without removing nim from ONCE. The
defiant tone in which the veto deAounces Con.
gress and its measures OF reconstruction, in
the face of the fact that the people, at the polls,
and the Supreme Court, I'm dispesing OF the
jenkins and Sharkey mandamus cases. have
emphaticaliy decided the action of the Ma
tionoi Legislature, in the premise 8, to be the
law Of the land, Is sufficient TO account for the
vehemencs OF the demonstrations OF members
of both Houses against that paper. Neverths-
less, we do not see how 1T can work further
mischief. The people of the South now under
stsnd that to follow the Executives counsel Is
surely 10 involve themselves and their section
In greater difficulties and sacrifices. They Will
therefore accord him no more encouragement,
10 multiply their trout les. They comprehend
thoroughly the absurdty OF his position that
everything involved In the States govern
ments OF his own creation is lawful and con-
stitutional, while everything involved in the
temporary governments OF those States en-
acted by Congress is unlawful and unconsti
tuuonaL The msJorry of the House and
Senate feel satisfied TO leave 10 the decision of
