WASHINGTON, Februssy "a, 1867.
A Question which Is being discussed with
4 feeling Of Interest just now Is, What WI
he the effect Of the veto message OF the
President on the Sherman reconstruct,on,
biUY The Radicals are themselves dividea
on what should be the proper way oI n'. =.
iup the message. Some Of them arc ,oe
ayer.e to ALLOWING discussion 10 a.ise
thereon In which the Democrats would De
silowed % take part without being stopped
nv a cal, for the previous question, In order
~ rnn the whole measure over until the
end of the session, and defeat 1t, so that
when the next Congress meets, one harshel
IN its provisions could be framed and
passed. In that case, Of course 1t will be
charged that the President and bis friend!
have been mainly instrumental in delaying
the settlement Of the national difficulties
and a remedy Of more stringent recon.
struction laws and Impeachment of Mr.
Johnson would be called up. 1t is not Ger,
tain that the Conservatives will not endea
vor 10 defeat this bill, acting on the prin
ciple with which the President vetos it
of combating with oil their might thine
so illegal and unconstitutional as the ac'
now awaiting executive action, leaving
with the Radicals the great responsibility
Of proceeding further in their scale OF pro-
erosion. gA8a gy n.
The President has already signed the
bin which passed Congress making the
office of Public Printer elective oy tne
Senate, and the probabilities are that MT
Defrees will be reTnstated in that position
on or before the lst Of March next.
Many have lately inclined to the belief
that the President has wavered from the
policy which at the outset of his admins
tratiop he adopted as his guide but re-
cent events have shown without the sfa-
dow of doubt that he has never departed
an iota from those principles, and in seve-
raj instances, of very late dates, interviews
have been had at the White House by Sc
yeral persons with the President solely on
national topics, and in every case Mr.. John
son has reiterated his belief in the Justice
and soundness of the views which have
established for the words "my policy a
worldwide reputation. Another strong
feature of his opinions is that the people
are bound, sooner or later, to acquiesce in
in his views, and lend their powerful aid to
the practical adoption thereof.
A large number of Indians are now in
Washington, and more are coming. They
are all very much opposed to the project
which was under consideration in Congress
last week to transfer the Indian Bureau to
the War Department. Several of the tribes
were present this afternoon at the Church
of the Epiphany (where ex-President
Davis attended when a resident of Wash
ington), and took part in the missionary
exercises which were being conducted.
The Government is now busily engaged in
the attempt to settle peaceably ali our
relations with the different tribes in the
Northwest, and their civilized representa-
tiyes here express every confidence in the
ability and honesty of the present Com
missioner of Indian Affairs, who has their
matters in charge. With the uncivilized
tribes, however, it appears that difficulties
will multiply before the spring fairly opens.
