4 Reconstruction Bill Passed.

At the time we printed our last weeks
paper, the prospect Of 4 reconstruction
bill the present congress was dubious in
deed but after several amendments had
been offered and rejected, Mr. Shellabar-
Ger Of Ohio, member Of the House, offered
an amendment which passed by strict
party vote of l25 to 46. The Senate
passed the same, after lengthy discussion,
by a vote Of 80 to :, and the bill went to
the President for his signature or veto.
The bill as finally passed, is given on
the first pace OF this paper. 1t will be
generally satisfactory to the loyal people
OF the country. 1t debars from voting or
seals in constitutional conventions, all
leading and influential traitors, and puts
the work of reconstruction in the hands of
the loyal people. 1t makes the military
power predominant where the civil power
fails; yet by this very act, the greatest
rebel is protected in life and property.
Could a just and outraged government be
more lcnicnt!
There are fears that President John
son will neither 81 On or veto the bill, but
that he will detain it until after the pre-
sent congress has adjourned. This would
he the meanest thing he could do, as Il
veto would soon he overcome by the two
thirds vote of both Houses. We shall
soon learn his action, however, as the 18th
of March rapidly approaches.
Special dispatches from Washington
says that the democrats in congress are
urging the president to pocket the bill,
and that he ca. j. is growing ugly on
,hc subject When MIR. johnson gro,rs
n9ly, good men have reason to fear.
