w What Congress does. in Il

@ What Congress does, in the
way of reconstruction, is all wrong
unconstitutional and arbitrary
And yet it is doing nothing more
than President johnson has done in
the same line. There is this differ
ence, however, between the two--the
work of Congress is legal, while
that Of the President was Illegal
The Cincinnati Gazette upon this sub
ject, says:
There is not single power, civil
or military, enacted by Congress in
the reconstruction legislation, that
was not exercised by johnson in his
reconstructions, by his own arbitrary
will. Does it set aside the State
Governments? He did it. Does it
provide for the formation of new,
under conditions? So did he
Does it remove civil officers by mill
tary power? He removed those of
nine States at one sweep, and subse,
quently removed others in detail at
his pleasure; for instance Semms,
elected in due form Probate Judge
under one of his reconstructed, com
plete, legal, civil governments, as he
claimed, entitled to the same con-
stitutional rights as any State in the
Union? Does it provide qualifca-
tions of electors? So did he. Does
it disqualify men for office? He did.
Does it govern States by military
power till the process of reconstruc-
ton is completed? He did it just as
absolutely. The difference is that
Congress is doing deliberately and
by rule what he did arbitrarily and
capriciously, and it is aiming to con-
struct loyal governments while he
precipitately reconstructed the reb-
el political power.

E Speaker CoLFAx was serenad
ed in Washington, on Saturday eve-
ming. In the course of his speech
he said:
The people were surprised at the
decision of the President and Attor
ney General and appealed to Con-
gress, in which they placed such de
served confidence, to reassemble;
and, from Maine to California they
came hither to resume their legisla-
tive authority and. so declare the
meaning of their legislation that no
legal sophistries of any Attorney
General could mystify it. Vetoed
again, they repassed it by vote of
four to one, and it has gone On the
statue books as one of the laws
which the President, by his constitu
tional oath, must take care to have
faithfully executed.
Some, / know, condemn Congress
for having done too much in its past
legislation, and some for having
done too little; but / think it has
struck the golden mean; firm, yet
prudent; courageous. without undue
excitement; inflexible and wise.
The President, in his veto, de-
nounces this military despotism, as
he calls it, and declared that Con-
gress has subjected the South to a
tyranny most intolerable. We have
heard these charges of military des-
potism before, during the war, from
the party which so bitterly opposed
his election three years ago. Every
act tending to strengthen the Gov
ernment, such as the suspension of
the habeas corpus, trials by court
martial, &c, was denounced as a
military despotism. But the people
rendered their verdict, and it could
not be reversed Instead of tyranny
the keynote of the Congressional
policy is protection 10 all, aud the
vindication and triumph of loyalty,
and God keeping us, we shall stand
by it until it is crowned with success.

Justice to his memory tC say, that in his life and

liberality highly commendable, and highly ap-
proved by the reeiplents He, while in youth be-
came convinced that the practice of moral duties
would secure happiness to himself and those
with whom he might be associated, acted on
principles thus laid down for his guidance, and
well has he continued to practice them At same
time, he firmly believed in his accountability TO
the creator and preServer of his eXiStence-that
He was the creator and preseryer Of the whole
human family-that as a God of fOreknowledge,
unchangeable, and full of love and mercy. He
was resigned and willing to trust in him, and that
he would execute his eternal DEGREES as he had
originally intended. With such convictions, he
approached the last hours of life with serenity
and composedness of mind that the skeptic and
the wicked cannot enjoy; and he died without a
struggle or groan.
His funeral was attended on Tuesday afternoon
by large concourse of citizens, and by the Ariel

EDITOR JOURNAL knowing YOU
are always glad to hear from Gallia
boys, when abroad, / will give you a
short account of my experiences in
my trip and in this country, since
left Gallipolis. We sailed in the
steamer Arizona, and had a pleasant
trip across the ocean, notwithstand-
ing the large number of passengers
aboard. There were nearly four
teen hundred crowded into the ves-
sci, a heavy load for a small ship.
We arrived here safely, however.
The climate of California is the finest
in the world, and cannot be surpass-
ed. 1t is very warm during the day,
but the nights in this valley (the
Sacramento are quite cool. A range
of mountains can be seen nearly one
hundred miles of, whose tops are
covered with snow, and you can get
on the cars of the Pacific Railroad,
which is in operation here, and ride
into the midst of these snow banks
among the mountains. This is a
great country to make money in. /
think the young men of Gallipolis
are foolish TO stay in that old country,
when they can come out here and get
three times as much wages, and that
in gold and silver. We have no
greenbaeks In circulation here. l
went up to Nevada on a prospecting
trip, and gos claim, that is in a
good locality, for a rich vein of
quartz has been struck on the land
adjoining, which was sold for 800
per foot, and think l could get that
for mine, but do not wish to sell.
1t is very cold in the mountains of
Nevada, but the climate of the val
leys is fine. There is plenty of
mining country that has not yet been
taken up and some of the richest
claims, yet discovered, are being
opened this summer This season
is very good for mining purposes, as
there was so much snow fell last
winter, that, as it melts and comes
down the valleys, it will afford water
enough for mining all this season.
California is a great country for
fruit. At the time / am writing there
are plenty of peaches ripe. Apricots
and cherries are all gone, and the
apples are beginning to getripe, some
early ones being all gone. Pears
also are now out of season. The
grapes are a great crop here, and
very fine. / have seen in this eoun-
try the richest clusters of grapes,
l think, l ever saw, and this season
bids fair to be good one for wine
growers. The city of Sacramento is
a beautiful place, although the great
flood in 1861 did it a great deal of
damage. In conclusion, would say
to young men at home, that if they
want to make money easy and fast,
they had better come to this country.

A Havana letter writer to the New
York Herald tells the following fishy
story: "During Santa Annals pres
ence at Vera Cruz he informed the
Imperlalist authorities that he re-
turned to Mexico with the concur
renee of the United States, and he
exhibited a written document cover
ing three foolscap pages, signed by
President johnson and Secretary
Seward and bearing their official
seals, to return to Mexico and estab-
lish himself as President and Dicta-
tor. The United States would recog-
nize him as the constitutional head
Of the gevernme ent, furnish him with
loans to the amount of two hundred
thousand dollars per month, and
whatever arms and munitions of war
he might require, in addition to grant
ing him permission to recruit troops
in the United States. My informant
declared emphatically, of his own
knowledge, that the document was
genuine"

~ The veto of the Reconstruc-
ton act of last March, gave for a
reason that it created an absolute
military despotism over ten States, a
thing more tyrannical and enormous
than history had any parallel for
Subsequently the Attorney General
gave his opinion that it merely made
the military police force to sustain
the civil authority of those States
This left a lie somewhere. Jehnson's
last veto says that the reasons of the
previous veto apply equally well to
the present bill. That is, according
to Stanbery, it is as false to this as
to that johnson says he reiterates
his conviction that the objections
then given are sound and unanswera-
BILE. Yet Stanbery has shown that
they were monstrous falsehoods, and
johnson has adopted Stanbery's
opinion to guide his executive action
on that act. Thus the Attorney
General proves the Executive a liar,
the Executive adopts the Attorney
Generals opinion to govern his ex-
ecutlen of the law, then he reasserts
the lie, and affirms that it is equally
true Of the present bill,

E Maximilian's death is deep
and irradicable stain upon the honor of
France. Some of our journals are Off
cious in trying to cover this up by
blaming Seward or Campbell. The
whole power of the French nation was
pledged to sustain him and establish
his empire. When France invited the
Mexicans to declare for Macmillan, she
pledged her honor that they would be
protected by all her power in this act.
,phe work of establishing and maintain
ing the empire was not impossible, nor
any great strain upon the revenues of
France. She could not have expected
to take possession with less force, nor
to hold it with less difficulty.
There was no pressure from any
where upon the French to withdraw.
Our administration was officiously ac-
quiescent. Maximiian could not with
honor abandon Mexico, because he was
bound to stand by those who had given
their adhesion to his throne. The
Paris Moniteur thus mentions this OBJ
legation: "He was unwilling to quit
the country upon the departure of the
French army. Notwithstanding the
perils attached to his enterprise, he
held himself bound in honor to make a
supreme effort to save those who were
attached to his person, and who had
devoted themselves to his cause"
But this obligation of honor rested still
more strongly upon the power that in
vited him there. Having undertaken
to set up throne, and involved great
of Mexican citizens in it,
France could not honorably leave the
country without making terms to pro-
vide for the safety of all these. The
Emperor deserted them and Maximil-
ian without any effort to secure this
honorable retreat. Itwas base perfdy,
and has placed upon his head the blood
of Maximilian. Gin. Gazette.
