But Notwithstanding The formidable character of

Mr. Stevens had previously stated in debate IN the
House that his Military bill was not intended to
touch the question of Reconstruction. but was tel-
porary substitute for it, The two subjects did not
belong together and should not he put together ana
any attempt to combine them was mJudclous,

the Military BILL and wanted to make sure OF
strength enough to pass it the Veto And to get
this, they consented to make an i-dgested, round
about general statement Of the terms on which the
Rebel States might reconstruct themselves-so gem
cral and comprehensive, as to cover all manner OIL
opinions within the boundaries of those terms, on

The measure, thus manipulated went back to the
House to meet its death There it was defeated by
the union of three parties. First The COpperhead
