THE axPLAMArORY RECONsrRUc
TTON Bill.

On the 18th inst, both Houses of Con-
gress passed the following bill which it
is believed makes the purpose of Con-
gress, as embodied in the reconstruc-
ton bills hitherto passed, so plain that
it can not be evRded, thwarted or null
lifted by technical quibbles, or in any
other way than by direct violation of
duty on the part of the Acting President
aAd his plant advisers. The appended
bill contains nothing which was not
EN- bodied in the previous bills plainly
enough to an honest and even an ordin-
ary understanding, nor would it have
been necessary but for the ingenious
and wicked efforts of the Acting Presi-
dent and the Attorney General to mis-
oOnstrue and defeat those measures.
But to dissipate the mischievous i'm
pressi0ns thus made upon the Southern
mind and which greatly retarded and
interrupted the work Of reconstruction
it became necessary that the purpose OF
Congress should be made so clear and
uneuuivocal and its determination SO
emphatic that there could no longer be
any ground for hope of escape from
/ compliance with its measures. This we
| trust the July session has accomplished
/ by the bill below given.
/ SECTION /. That it is hereby declared tC
[ have been the true intent and meaning Of
1 the act Of March 2, 1867. that the governments
! then existing in the rebel States Of Virginia
/ North Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama LOu1'
] siana, Florida, Texas, and Arkansas, were
/ not legal State Governments, and that there
] after said governments if continued at all
1 were to be continued subject in all respects
| to the military commanders Of their respec'
| tive districts, and to the paramount authOrl
! ty of Congress.
SEC 2. That the commander Of any dis
! trict named in said act, shall have power
1 subject to tile approval Of the General Of the
| army of the United States, whenever IN tht
1 opinion OF the commander the proper ad
/ mfnistration Of said act shall require 1t, &c
suspend or remove from. office or from The
/ performance Of official duties and exercise
/ Of official power any officer or person mold
ing or exercising, or protesting to hOld ol

in such district, under any power eleclOn

On Tuesday last Mr.. Mungen (Dem.,

thought Congress to be a body raised

seems to consider it a sort Of Academy
of Arts and Sciences, and reads papers
to it as if it were a Royal Society, or a
College Of CIRniologists. But we pro-
test against this in the very beginning,
because if one Honorable Member is al
lowed to lecture upon EthnOlOgy, we
shall have another holding forth upon

The latest folly of Andrew johnson is
an attempt to damage the public credit.
For some time suspicious have lurked
in the minds of many that the Acting
Executive favored either wholesale
repudiation or. .slse the assumption of
the rebel debt, and those stispicions
win now be greatly strengthened, if
not confirmed by the message sent by
him to the Senate on Monday ia reply
to a resolution of that body calling for
certain papers and for information rel
ative to the ex penses OF reconstruction.
In this message johnson with infamous
neanness insinuates that because Con
gress has deposed the bogus govern
ments of the Rebel States the expense
of governing those States and the Obli-
pati5D for their. debts. incur rred prior to
/ the war devoIve on the Federal Govern
Itnent. thus increasing the national debt
over a hundred millions. This action
of the Presidents at the crisis of our
/ financial embarrassments, is so palpa-
blv vfIlainous that even the Democratic
members Of the Senate did not venture
to approve and scarcely to excuse it.
For our own part we have always main
tained, and we believe nine tenths of
the Union party agree with US, that the
/ Rebel States arc still States in the Un-
ion and by the act of rebellion have
