The following IS a lelegraphic synopsis
Of the Presidents Message vetoing The
Supplemental Reconstruction Bill;
WAsH1Scros July l9.
The Presidents veto was transmitted to
the House at 2 P. n. With the-gaIlerles
crowded. good attention was given 70 the
reading Of 1t. His objections are prin-
cipally that il makes the military para
mount to tie government and takes away
the right of habeas corpus. He objects
to military courts trying civil cases and
to giving the military authority full
control of the officers of the Souihren
States, and subject 10 removal al their
pleasure. He complains that power IS
givenio the military unpossessed by the
President. aud that the bill creates, IN
fact, a military despotism, with Gen.
Grant at the head. He complains that
no qualification is required Of the appOin-
tees, Of the military, although lhe State
laws require an oath of residence. Con-
gress asserts that the State governments
are illegal, but yet appoints officers TO
take charge Of such goVrnments. although
they may be unfamiliar with the duties Of
of the Office. II is too late DOw TO say
that ten Southern States are not IN fact
in the Union, as they have pesn recog-
nized as such IN seven Of them adopting
the amendment aboIising slavery; also BY
appointing United States Marshals and
Judges for them, aud if not States the
Chief Justice has no right 20 hold courts
in them, He asks whether an officer in
charge o. a State government IS consider
ed a civil officer or a military officer.
If the former, where in the constitution
is the authority derived! He denies the
power Of Congress to strip the President
of the power, aad says military officers
will not recognize the President under
the bill. He will never submit that the
power given by the Constitution to the
President shall be taken away. 1t is
a great public wrong to take the power
away from the President and. give it to a
subordinate. He calls on the people to
stay the acts of Congress and lift the OPP
pressive yokes from their neeks.
Messers. Stevens and Boutwell, follow
ed the reaGIng of the veto message in
speeches, and calling loudly for impeach.
ment amid great attention of the House.

The supplemental Reconstruction
BUl

VIII be found il another column
Though Vetoed il has been passed over
the veto by handsome majOrides in both
Houses of Congress. This bill is simply a
necessity, growing out Of the original
intent of the first, and made necessary
by the wrong construction attempted to
be placed upon it BY the Attorney Cen
eFal
Whatever may have been or is now
said with regard to military government
for the Southern States, the necessity IS
70 evident TO breed Cavil among loyal
men. But three paths were open TO re-
construction first, mixed military and
civil governments ; second, military gov
ernments alone third, and last to give
I'D the rebel States to the control of
rebels. The first has been tried and
came so near resulting in the last named
plan that, for the protection Of loyal men
anu nc safety VI INC DtatSS AASt'SS'
that plan had TO be discontinued. To
place loyal soldiers and generals at the
command Of late rebels was found to re.
tard reorganization, and has cost the
lives Of many loyal citizens.
The 4Oth, Congress decided on Mill
tary Recons:ruction in its fullest sense,
and the intent of the first Get on the
yubiect meant TO place jus, the powers
with the Military Commanders that the
supplemental Act does. 1t is not a ques-
ton with loyal men which should back
down when rebel State authorities come
in conflict with the laws Of Congress; that
the latter must triumph is a forgone con.
clusion, and to retain paramount aulhOri-
ty until rebels accept the terms, it is nee
essery TO sustain to the fullest the agents
intrusted with Reconstruction. This
Congress has done /; and, as it will
receive, SO it merits the approval Of the
loyal men Of the land.

Corn looks remarkably forward and

far exceed any preceding year. Farm
