CONGRESSIONAL SPEECHES.

We ore the recipient of several speeches made
by the Hon. VIM. D. KELLY, of Pennsylvania, in
the Congress of the United States. We have Pc
fused these queer documents With some little in
terest although confessing to much less eagerness
in their perusal since the fat has gone forth and
this section has been declared appendage, in the
shape of military Districts" Mr. KELLY is one Of
tho Radical party, and has contributed the weight
ofhis influence the reduction ofsovereign States
and the Inauguration of practical military despo-
tism over those States. The speeches before us
are in striking contrast with the productions of
those quaint old fellows, yclept statesmen, whose
legislation embraced the entire country, and whose
governing ideas partook somewhat of justice and
equal rights to every section. But their teachings
and principles are obsolete, and VIC presume that
Congressman KELLY, like his associates and COM
peers, must conform to the ''new order of thinge."
The honorable gentleman, however, will accept
profoundest thanks for the courtesy extended, and
receive assurances of the fact that we have given
his speeches patient recding.

VETO OF THE MILITARY BI1E,

TIE Executive veto of the military bill was sent
to the House on Saturday last. An unsatisfactory
synopsis of the veto message has been received
and we prefer to await the reception of the mes
sage in full before presenting its features to
readers. AS was expected, the House Immediate
y passed the bill, notwithstanding the veto, by
vote of lS5 toss47. The Senate had not acted, up
TO our latest advices, but there is no question IN
regard to the necessary two-thirds being obtained
in that body, where the present bill originated.
We could hardly expect any fortutous clrcum-
stance to transpre that would defeat the measure
for the time being and therefore conclude that the
South is now virtually under military rule.
The anxiety of our people to know the result of
this action upon the part of Congress induces US
to state that there is good authority for the
conclusion that matters will remain temporarily in
the condition now existing. The officers command
ing Tho respective departments will be continued
by the President, in all probability, and no addi-
tohal troops will be sent into The Southern States
In localities where any positive evidence is addu-
ced to show that lawlessness or disorder exists,
garrisons may be established, and the people SUBJ
jccted to rigid accountability for the acts Of oen
ders. This will entail oppression upon the inno-
cent in very many instances, it always being the
case that military rule lacks discrimination and
sound justice in its administration.
We are convinced that there will be no inter-
ference with the civil side Of The State Cours and
the impression among many taat such will be the
case is only illusory. How far the criminal Law
may be administered by the civil officers, and to
what extent jurisdiction will be claimed by the
military, depends in great measure upon the
temper and character of the officer commanding
the Military District.
Another point of interest and inquiry seems to
calei to initiate steps towards reconstruction.
This question is conided TO the entire population,
barely excepting such rs are disqualified by their
past record from q participation in the said con
vention. How speedily rcrtion of the inhab
itants of any State may set on foot this project
for reconstruction, it is simply impossible to de-
scribe. The mode and manner Of calling this
convention is not provided for in the bill, and We
presume that any combination Of individuals, Of
whatever complexion, might properly inaugurate
the movement, and petition the Executive to order
IN election for members thereof We will not
venture prediction on this point, and neither
have any desire 10 make suggestions or give ad-
vice on the subject. We are professedly in the
background, and with all the possible grace of
former uncompromising 'rebel," yield tact ac-
acknowledgement of being incapable to ride the
storm or direct the whirlwind. We are placed
hors du combat, and must adjurc others to think
and oct for themselves,

ARRESTED.

Ono OF The three outlaws for whom the Governor
has offered reward was arrested last week in
Newberry. His name Is BuRKarAD, one of the
gentry whose dashing raid into Anderson few
weeks since created such CONSERVATION. This in
dividua came to this village in December last and
for several weeks elected attention by his conspicu
Gus manners and flourish of crutchcs, claiming to
have been injured on the railroad below. He sue
ceeded in imposing upon several citizens, and
speedily ran the course of fast ahd unprincipled
youth. We aro satisfied that sojourn in the
Peniten,iary would improve his morals.

REPORT OF TIE SOUTH CAROLINA COMMIT

We invite attention to the ma jorty report of the
Congressional Committee appointed to Investigate
the murder of three Federal soldiers in this Dis
trict IN the.fall of 1866. This document will elicit
much comment in the Northern States, and tend to
FIX public opinion in The belief that the lives of
Union men are unsafe in this unfortunate section
of the country. Hence, naught we can say will
counteract tho injurious impression made, either
as to the parties most directly interested or the
community us whole. But we arc constrained to
take notice of the testimony given by an individual
lately In the employ of the United States, and
vhose willing evidence seems to have such great
weight with the majority of the Committee. We
refer to.the self-styled Surgeon, one PILLsBrRY,
ontil recently the contract physician in charge Of
tie hospital at this place. The Committee gravely
accords to the testimony of DR.. PILLsBuRr the ut
most Importance, as affording striking commen-
tary upon tho state of society existing in this
quarter. According to this immaculate hero, 'no
doubt appears to have been entertained in the
minds of this community Of the guilt of at least
two of the persons discharged" Processing to
know as much of the minds Of cur people as this
individual possibly could know, We must charao-
terize this statement as utterly false and malicious
The citizens of this District never entertained the
slightest doubt of their innocence, and this was
warmly aitcsted 'by the Inhabitants of the town
with an ovation and congratulation." The conf
dence and secure belief in their complete inno-
cence, and the qualification at their escape from
further punishment of innocent and prosecuted
neighbors induced the ovation and congratulations
These men were received with open and undis-
ruised hospitality, because their fellow citizens
knew that their punishment had been unjust and
undeserved And we may remark, that had the
action of our citizens been othcrwise-had these
prisoners been received coldly, and had there been
no evidences Of rejoicing at their return this relia-
BILE Surgeon () would have taken it us prime tacia
evidence that the people believed them guilty, and
reported to his masters accordingly. In conclusion,
as we do not wish to occupy too much space with
this accomplished witness, We will state upon good
authority that the general drunk" referred to- If
there is any semblance of truth in the allegation,
was confined to Surgeon PILLsBURY and his as
sociates in q social point of view Who they COM
urised is hardly accessible, since his namc has
evoked disgust and dctcstation with every respcc-
table officer of the army stationed here within tho
past eighteen months.

Words of Truth and soberness.

The National Inielhgencer says: To the people
North the only security of liberty in any society is
the sovereignty of the people, and the only secu-
rity for that sovereignty is the sancy Of the prin
ciple. To strip the sovereign toWer from cur
neighbors is to strip the sovereign principle from
ourselves, unconsciously, at first, it may be, but
soon to be realized, as betrayed people stand, be-
reft of majesty. shivering before the cleaning
sword and arrogant froun of their own dema-
gogues
Let 1t once become familiar to the public mind
that popular sovereignty is to be enjoyed OF denied
according to circumstances, and, the principle
thus dead, there is no moral foundation of Liberty,
and no restraint upon demagoguery. At such q
time military chief, having soldiery in charge,
familiar with oppression and careless of the prin-
ciple once 80 dear to us nl would have but to per-
suade himself hat he could better the condition Of
the country, and that his force ~as the stronger,
to enter Mt once, without scruple and necessarily
without failure, upon subversion of any existing
administration or government, relying, not without
well-foundcd confidence, on the applause Of many
and the acquicscence of more, hopeless Of better,
and glad of rcpose
A country that will acquicsce, in time of uni
versal peace, in measure deliberately abrogating
the Constitution and laws in toto over half the
nation, yet affecting to keep them in force in the
other half, is country ignorant of its own Con-
stitution, and, therefore, incapable of q saving
faith in it. Such people are ripe for sclf-abase-
ment, and in imminent peril of their freedom.

j. warning from History.

Congress proposes to overthrow the Executive
and TO emasculatc the Judicial department of the
Government. This done, all power will be con-
ccntratcd in the Legislative department. which,
unrcstrained by Constitutional provisions and linn
;ta,ions will administer tie governments, through
its committees, enactng, constituting, and cxe'u-
ting laws. The republic will have given away to
an olpnrcby; the only constitution recognized
will be the popular will; the minority will have
no rights and no protection; the property and
the liberty of the citizen will be enjoyed subject
to the whms and caprice of mob; there will be
mower without law, equality without justice,
wrongs without remedies, deapotism without re-
sponsiblity.

 In Philadelphia, one pleasant Sunday
 evening, an old lady, whose failing eyes demanded an unusually large prayer book. started for church little early. Stopping on the way to call on friend, she laid her prayer book on the center table. When the bells began to chime, she snatched what she supposed to be her prayer book and started for church. Her seat was at the chancel end of the gallery. The organ ceased playing The minister: ''The Lord is in his holy temple, let all the earth keep silence before him." In the effort to open her supposed prayer book, she started the spring of the music box, which she had ta- ken instead. It began to play-in her consternation she put it on the foor-it would not stop-she put 1t on the seat; it sounded louder than ever Finally she carried it out, while it played the washing day, , an Irish jig tune.
