Judge Williams.

Judge Williams is of the good old ReYo-
luJiunary stock, which achieved our national
independence in 1910, and from his ances-.
tr, he has inherited sturdy love Of liberty,
independence, freedom, and national union,
which has been strengthened by the great
events of these later times. lie was born in
the beautiful valley Of the Connecticut-a
State which has given birth to such men as
Henry Baldwin, Walter Forward, CARED
Mallory, and William Strong-and is now
in the full prime and vigor Of manhood.
From the people, and of them, he has been
mainly the architect Of his own fortunes
His father, well to do farmer, held, with
most New England fathers Of that day, that
1t was better for boys TO help themselves
than 10 be dependent upon the paternal say
IBss, and after having furnished his son with
the means Of acquiring an education, he sent
him forth from the patgrnal home, ut an
early age, to make his way in the world and
fight the battle Of life unaided save by his
own euergy and talents
In college, Judge Williams gave promise
OF his future success. He became at once
one Of the most popular men Of his class.
he Immediately took high rank as a scholar,
especially as a speaker, writer, debater,
loglcian and metaphyslclan lie grad
uated at Amherst College, Massachusetts,
IN 1867, and so proud has his Alma Mater
been Of this one of her favorite sons, that she
some time since honored herself by bestow-
ing upon him the honorary degree ofDoctor
Of Laws. In the spring of 1889 be COM
menced reading law in the office of exChief
Justice Lowrie, of this city, and was admit
ted to the bar OF this county in May, 1871.
lie practiced his profession as partner with
his preceptor, and subsequently with the
late WIN. NJ. Shinn, until elevated for the
hrSt time to his present position in the fall
of 1851.
As a lawyer Judge Williams was eau
tious, safe, aud reliable lawyer, and an earn
est, eloquent, and generally successful advo-
Gale His dealings with his clients were
ever characterized byjustiee and faithfulncss.
In the TALL Of 1851 he was elected to the 20,
sltion which he now holds, his opponent be-
ing Judge Shaler, lawyer of eminent ability
and bearing, He ran ahead Of his ticket in
the ward in which he lived, in ''the old
Democratic Third ward, and in the county
beating his able opponent 2, ,245. So WELL
faithfully, impartially, and satisfactorily did
Judge Williams discharge the duties Of his
office, and so learned, upright, and useful a
judge did he prove himself to be in the esti-
nation OF all men, that at the end of his
hrst Judicial term of ten years, in 1861, he
was nominated by acclamation by the then

mired that the President shall no longer in
terfere with the work of restoration on the
basis laid down BY Congress.
This is also seen by the latter part of sec
tioa 7, where persons are denied the right Of
registration for certain crimes no matter
whHther they hold the Executive Pardon
either by General Amnesty or special act.
The Resolutions offered by Messrs. Butler
and Shanks and appointment of Committees
to investigate the Assassination Conspiracy,
and the Audersonviie prison atrocities send
joyous hope to every loyal heart.
lis subject Congress should have look
ed into long since. 1t is all Assassination
from the FIRST union soldier murdered on
the dead line up to the murder OF the Presi-
dent, one long line of inexeusabie atroclons
and damnable murder
When the Gonfederaey saw there was no
hope of success at home or Of foreign aid,
and that the issue was lost by all fair means,
they did not scruple to adopt this. What
they could not accomplish at the Front they
would do in the Rear, and the names OF
Andersonvile, Saulisberry, Millen, Libby
and Bell Isle, at once sickened the North
ern heart. These places were prepared 10y

govern prisoners, and with these martyr
holds the names of Winder, Wirz and
Gee, became notorious, fully evincing their
capacity by numbering at least fifty th0us-
and men under the very eyes of JEFF.
Davis and his brutal Secretary of War, which
is abundantly shown by the Record of the
Gee trial and the archives Of the Rebel War
Department.
Who can believe that the mon who would
murder prisoners of war, by all the tortues
of he'll itself, would scruple one moment to
procure the death of the President That
Davis and his cabinet knew of and procured
the death OF Lincoln there is no doubt
Let viiainy be unmasked and obscurity

THE VETO.

After some delay the President, on the
10Th inst, sent to Congress the veto fol
which they had been waiting. After the
reading of which, and an hours discussion
in the house, the bill was promptly passed
over it by vote of 100 to "A. The Senate
without debate promptly passed the bill by
vote of 80 to 6. This prompt and deci-
sive action on the part of Congress was not
unexpected. After long and mature de-
liberation, during which time even the
most urgent appeals from the country could
not spur Congress into undue haste, policy
of reconstruction was decided upon and
adopted Directly in the face of his former
act and professions, the President at once
arrayed himself on the side of the rebels
and traitors, aud against the Congressional
policy of reconstruction, because that policy
was carefully arranged so as to secure loyal
governments to the states lately in rebellion,
and to prevent the late rebel leaders from
controlling and directing the new state gov
ernments. From that time to the present,
veto has followed veto, and every act de-
signed to carry out the Congressional policy
has met with the persistent opposition of
the President But the policy, as adopted,
has been sanctioned by the voice of the peo-
pie at the ballot-bo throughout the coun-
try, aud thus sustained, Congress hesitates
not in whatever supplementary legislation
may be necessary to the successful enforce
ment of it's policy. The people have spo-
ken, their servants have acted, and despite
the Presidential marplot, the viii of the
people is made the law of the land, and
viii be enforced. No new arguments are
advanced in this last veto, old sophistries are
rehashed and the utterances of partisan
stump orators are embodied in state doeu-
ment and given, as far as possible, the dig
nifty of official authority. The message
closes with petulant threat, evincing the
unmistakable spirit Of a would be tyrant,
which if attempted to be carried out will yet
result in impeachment, a passionate appeal
to the people of whose voice he has for more
that two years been utterly regardless and la
few hypocritical sentences about a violated
constitution, than which nothing could come
with a worse grace, from him, who at the
close of the rebellion undertook to usurp all
the legislative powers of the country, and
not only dictate the terms of reconstruction,
but has ever since persisted in attempting
to force those terms upon the country,
against the will of the people, North and
South, and in defiance of the Constitution
ally authorized legislative power of the coun-
try.

Special Correspondence to the INQUIRER.
WASHINGTON, July 20, 1867
The second supplemental to the Reeonstruc-
ton act of March End, 1867, having passed
both Houses, or rather, been concurred in
by the Conference Committee, and which
you viii doubtless spread at length before
your readers, l herewith enclose a copy as
it came from the hands of the Committee.
The Bill is almost entirely the Senate
Bill, cutting off four of the House amend
ments, but yet covering the whole ground,
and while the peculiar valur of this act seem
ed to demand its consideration before each
House separately, in its final passage, rather
than refer it to the hands of select Com
mittee, we need not fear that its efficiency
has been impaired from want of able and
loyal hands in the Committee rooms. l

On the part Of the Senate, Messrs. Trum-
bull, Edmunds and Hendricks. On the
part of the House, Messrs. Stevens, Bout.
well and Holman.
Penal section No. IL of the House was
abandoned by the Committee, as well as
section 10 declaring that the Commanding
General, &C., shall, or cannot, be removed
from Office except upon the order of the
Commanding General, and with the advice
and consent of the Senate, but these points
are constructively embodied in the Senate
amendments TO the 1st section, declaring
that the powers granted in the several acts
on reconstruction shall belong to the Com
manding Generals and to the Paramount
authority of Congress-" and by section 10
of the Senate declaring that the District
Commanders and Boards of registration
shall not be concluded in their actions by,
or pay any attention to, the dictum of any
civil officer Of the United States
This broad and sweeping section certainly
contains no doubtful language and is a
painful notice to Mr.. Stanberry that the ma
ton requires none of his opinions, that the
people want no more of this, Now YOU
see it and now you don't see it kind of

IN maintaining the correctness Of the
President's view that by denying the legality
of the governments Of the seeding States,
Congress made the general government re-
sponsible for the debts Of those States, the
Democratic journals ran before they were
