Mr.. Editor: Permit me- through your
worthy columns, briefly to NOTICE recent Ma
sonic celebration which came off on the 9th
instant, at Clayton, Ga:
1t was my pleasure to attend this festival,
and in oil candor, must say the State Of
Rabun needs no reconstruction in point of
hospitality, peace and plenty. From carly
dawn until eleven o'clock you could see the
rustic old farmer and his. family coming in
to see the groat "goat" which was to be ex-
hibited on that day; every "train of cars ;"
being loaded with girls and provisions, These
cars were not as fine az some Of tho city
car" which Walhalla so proudly boasts, but
they never run off the track nor get out Of
order, for each farmer has his car shop, and
knows the use of hickory bark.
When the proper time arrived, tho Masonic
fraternity met in thoir Lodge room, and was
called to order by the Worshipful Master,
Judge G. NJ. NErnERLAND, and after going
through with tho usual performances for
such occasions, put on their jewels, bright
and new, formed in procession, and marched
to the Baptist Church, where our old friend,
Rev. G. II. SPEARS, of Walhalla, by invita-
tion Of the Lodge, delivered an appropriate
address, full of wit and wisdom; and his an
ecdotcs and fit illustrations won for him the
admiration of the assemblagc, and if know
anything about social status, KIT is all right
in Rubun. We were then invited to New
Pastures, where tho inner man was supplied
with sumptuous rcpast, prepared by the la
dies and friends of the Masonic fraternity :;
and such an abundant profusion have scarce
ly ever SCENT was land of milk and
honey" But better than all, there was a
magnanimous, wholc-soulcd goodness, friend
ship and hospitality manifested in that people,
and on that occasion, which makes stranger
feel as if he had met band of brothers and
sisters; the old and young, malc and female
seemed to mix and minglo like one great and
good family. The only pain felt was in part
ing from such generous hospitality; and
might add, that suoh exhibitions all over our
PROSTATE and ruined country would do moro
to harmonizo and fratornizo our people than
social ostraoism, political dogmas, or religious
oligarchics. More anon.

Veto of the Omnibus Bill,

WAsuINaToN, juno 25.--The following
is tho message of President johnson, return.
ing the omnibus reconstruction bill, with his
objections
TO the House Of Representatives.,
In returning to the House of Represents.
tivcs, iu which it originated, bill entitled
An Act to admit the States of North Caro-.
lima, South Carolina, Iouisiah., Georgia Ala
naand Florida to representation in Con-
gress," do not deem it necessary to state at
length the reasons which constrain me to with
hold my approval. will not, therefore, un-
dcrtakc, at this time, to reopen the discussion
upon the grave constitutional questions in
volved in tho Act of March 2, 1867, and the
Acts supplemental thereto, in pursuance of
which it is claimed, in the prcamablc to this
bill, these States have formed and adopted
Constitutions Of State government. Now
will repeat the objections contained in
my message Of the Goth instant, returning
without my signature the bill to admit to rep
rcscntatton the State of Arkansas, and which
arc equally applicable to the pending measure.
Like the Act recently passed in reference to
Arkansas, this bill supcrccdcs the plain aud
simple mode prescribed 10y the Constitution
for tho admission to seats in tho respective
Houses of Senators and Representatives from
the several States. It assumes authority over
six States of the Union which has never been
delegated to Congress, or is even warranted
by previous unconstitutional Legislation on the
subject of restoration. 1t imposes conditions
which are in dcrogation of equal rights of the
States, and is founded upon theory which
is sdbvcrsivc Of the fundamental principles
of tho Government In the case of Alabama,
it violates tho plightcd faith of Congress, BY
forcing upon that State Constitution which
was rejected by the people, according to the
express terms of an Act of Congress rcqur.
ing that majority of the registered electors
should vote upon the question of its ratifca-
tion.
For these objections, and many others that
might be presented, cannot approve this
bill, and, therefore, return it for tho action Of
Congress, required in such cases by the Fed.
eral Constitution.
ANDREW JOHNSON.
