To supply Sewing-Machinc free from the OBJ

for we not only had to surpass other Machines as
they appeared years ago, but also as improved
from time to time by more recent experience.
This we boldly claim has been accomplished by
the liberal expenditure of capital and the pa
tent, untiring labor of years; and in presenting
our Macsine to the public, we shall make strong
assertions respecting its merits, which we are

A woman says what she chooses, with

home in time of war, and get married
again if her husband gets killed. She
can wear corselets if too thick, and other
fiXings if too thin. Shecan get divorced
from her husband whenever she sees one
she likes better. She can get her hus-
band in debt all over until he warns the
public not to trust her on his account
But all these advantages are balanced by
the great fact that she cannot sing bass,

The additional BILL whatever NAV be the
shape IL finally assumes oanhot be really
more objectionable than the original law, In
fact the former keconstructi0n acts. as CON
strued BY PRESIDENT Johnson in his former
vetoes, contain all the odious features which
the new legislation seeks to enforce. so that
no objection can be made TO this bill which
did not equally apply to the former bills as
President Johnson understood them At the
time of signing his veto messages. = A veto
directed merely against what is new In the
additional bill would touch only on matters of
detail intended to give effect 20 Che animus
clearly disclosed in the former acts, and de-
nounced with suitable energy in the former
vetoes. If Congress goes inside State, and
disfranchises its oitzens the enormity of the
wrong is not a question Of arithmetic relating
to the number of the disfranchised, but to the
right of Congress to interfere at ALL II has
Just as clear right to disfranchise everybody
that IL has to disfranchise anybody-thst is to
say, no right at all. Admitting the negroes
to the snffrage is virtually disfranohising an
equal number of the white citizens, since it
nullifes their votes. The strength of the
argument is against the principle of the
original act. Once admit that Congress can
go within State and make or unmake voters,
and you give up the whole case. Ii Congress
may disfranchise, IL may make the disfran-
chisement effectual. Ii Congress may annul
State governments, it may displace their Off
GERS. The particular machinery or agencies
by which it overrides the Constitution is of
comparatively little consequence. The funda-
mental objection is to the thing itself. The
enormity of a murder is the same whether it
is perpetrated with a pistol or with poison.
We do not know, therefore, what new points
can be made against the additional bill, inn
portant enough to render it worth while to in
terpose a veto which is certain to be overruled.
The objection is not to the particular shape of
the DEVILS hoofs or the particular twist in
his horns, but to the Devil himself. The sub.
stitution of military despotism for republican
government is in all shapes odious and abo-
minable. We dare not refine on such subjects,
lest we impair that honest and hearty abhor-
renee of the iniquity which is the spon-
taneous impulse of freemen. We care not
whether these tools Of tyranny, the interlop-
ing registrars, take the oath OF the applicant
or examine other witnesses; what we object
to is their standing to bar the gates of suffrage
at all. We care not whether General Grant
is made tyrant-in- chief, or whether each of the
five petty tyrants is supreme in his own mill
tary district what we object to is military
tyranny itself, and the suppression of free in
stitutions in the land of their birth. We do
not see, therefore, that there is any urgent call
for new veto, unless the President oovets
the occasion to reiterate the honest indignation
OF freeman at the overthrow of the public
liberties. .t...

The Mexican Question IN Congress.
Ffofn le Herald.
There were some interesting proceedings on
Monday last upon the Mexican question in
both Houses of Congress. In the Senate the
resolution of Mr.. Chandler was adopted, call
ing upon the Secretary Of state for copies
of the correspondence between him and Lewis
d, Campbell, late United States Minister to
Mexico, and all correspondence with the sue
oessor of Mr.. Campbell since his appointment
This inquiry looks bad for Mr.. otterbourg,
and is evidently not intended as a compliment
20 the Secretary of State. Next, Mr.. Summers
resolution was adopted by the Senate, calling
upOn the State Department for all information
in its possession touching recent events in
Mexico. Mr. Sumner said he expected to get
tbe, partioulars of the arrest, trial, and execu-
tion of Maximilian. and also the proceedings in
the case of Santa Anna, whose arrest and exc
outiori might possibly raise question of in
ternationaI law. This resolution, therefore,
was eminently proper, and we trust it will be
freely and satisfactorily answered. .,
But MIR. Chandler had another resolution to
offer, which, after reciting the exterminative
decree of Maximilian and the massacres of
Mexican Liberals committed under it, directs
an inquiry by the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tiOns, and a report upon the facts This is
Mr.. Chandler's way of proclaiming his approval
of MaXimilian's execution, and his resolution
amounts to nothing more. II is not the bust
ness of the United States Senate, however, but
of the Juarez Government, to make up a case
justifying the killing of Maximilian. In the
House, on the same day with the aforesaid
proceedings in the Senate, Mr.. Wood, of New
York, offered a Mexican resolution, instruct
ing the Committee on Foreign Affairs to in
quire if certain outrages against international
law and treaties, and others in violation of the
rights of American citizens, do not ''call for
immediate and summary action on the part of
this Government" Perhaps they do; but we
suspect that Mr.. Wood was inspired by the
flibusters. Mr.. Baldwin, of Massachusetts,,
offered resolution for an inquiry into the
abduction of Santa Anna from an American
vessel, accompanying which was resolution
broadly censuring the temporizing Mexican
diplomacy of Mr.. Seward; all of which were
referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
From all these materials some definite action
on the part of Congress in reference to the
affairs of Mexico will most likely follow at the
session of this Congress of October or Decem-
Der next. 1t is to be regretted that the two
Houses, with the collapse OF the Rebellion, did
not at once settle this business as they could
have done; but better late than never General.
Grants plan was then and still is the one
thing needful for Mexico-active and decisive
Intervention.

IOVtGtc AcTUCu.
The resolutions of General Butler, offered in
the House, ordering special committee of five
members to proceed to an inquiry into the
facts, circumstances, and conspirators con-
cerned in President Linoolns assassination,
ETC., and authorizing the committee to report
bill of grace and amnesty, in their discretion,
to any party or parties having any personal
knowledge of said conspiracy and conspirators
and their proceedings, in consideration of
giving all such knowledge to the committee,
we think were wisely adopted. 1t is widely
believed, and we are inclined to this opinion,
that the assassin Booth and his immediate ac-
completes were but the instruments of more
important conspirators at Richmond and else
where, and it is supposed that some of them
may be smoked out by the offer of amnesty 10
some such Confederate, for example, as Sur
raft. In this view the investigation is not only
proper, but it is demanded by every considera-
tion of sound policy, in order that no stone
may be left unturned in the efforts of the Gov
ernment to reach the real oontrivers of this
assassination conspiracy, and the treasury and
treasury agents from which the funds were
supplied to Booth and his associate assassins.

Wanted-A Policy.

From The Tribune.
Mexico begins the work of reconstruction
with the civilized world arrayed against her.
There is morbid sentiment that might in
dorse the execution of Maximilian, but with
the exception of the EUening Post, the organ
of Calcraft and Jack Ketch, we see no news
paper supporting the policy which directed his
death. Even in Congress, which has always
championed the cause of Liberalism, ii has
thus far been impossible to pass resolution
of congratulation to Mexico over her triumph.
Had Maximilian been sent out of the country,
we believe such a resolution would have been
passed unanimously. b.
Our own part in this disaster, thanks to an
imbecile and purposeless policy, has been hu-
initiating Maximilian was executed in def
ance of the United States We asked the moor
boon of his life, and it was denied. Santa
Anna, an exile, and taken from an American
ship, is either dead or under sentence of
death. When America took a great RahaI
from the deck of an English vessel. we were
compelled to return him almost by the nevt
mail. The defiance that we dared not to offer
England, Mexico offers us. Our flag was no
Drotection to Santa Anna; it was even tram.
pled upon by the Mexican soldiers. Now we
are told that it was Mr.. Stewards intercession
for the life of Macmillan that directly
caused his DEATH that before the letter Of the
Secretary of State was received there was no
intention of executing the Emperor that upon
its reception the Liberal army indignantly de-
manded that he should be slain, as If to teach
our Government its impertinenoe in interfer-
ing. If this be true, the humiliation is COM
plete.
The United States is pledged to oppose
aggressive wars of European powers against
American Republics; and for this reason we
are held morally responsible by foreign gov
ernments for something of the conduct OF the
nations we protect. Alter Mr.. Seward pro
tested against the French occupation of Mexico
and, obeying the national will, demanded the
withdrawal of French troops, it is not strange
that Europe expected that our influence
would be used to restrain Mexico from such
acts as the killing of prisoners OF war, o.
that the United States should be denounced
in the French Assembly as responsible To-
the death of Macmillan. There is littb
doubt that the United Stases could have savet
the life of the Emperor, for the Mexican
Republic owes its very existence to the sym
pathy Of the American people with tn
Liberals. But for the attitude Of the United
