WASHINGTON.
Message OF the President-HOn. Wm.
LYarts fakes the Oath of OfIlce.

WASHINGTON. July 20.-The Presi-
dent this afternoon sent the following
message to the Senate:
IL The Senate Of the United States:
have given to the joint resolution
entitled, " A Resolution Excluding
from the Electoral College the votes
Of States lately In Rebellion, which
shall not have been recognized" as
careful an examination as | have been
able to bestow on the subject during
the few days that have intervened
since the measure was submitted for
my approval. Feeling constrained to
withhold my consent. | herewith re-
turn the resolution to the Senate, in
which house it originated, with a
bIiet statement of the reasons which
have induced my action.
This joint resolution is based upon
the assum ptlon that some of the States
whose inhabitants were lately in re-
bellion, are not now entitled to rep
resentation in Congress and to par
ticipate In the election of a President
and Vice President of the United
States. | have heretofore had occa-
sion to give in detail my reason for
dissenting from this view. 1t Is not
necessary at this time to repeat it; it
Is sufficient to state that L continue in
my conviction that the acts of seces
sion, by which a number of the
States sought to dissolve their
connection with the other States,
and to subvert the Union,
being unauthorized by the Constitu-
ton, and IN direct violation thereof,
were from the beginning absolutely
null and void; it follows necessarily
that when the rebellion terminated
the several States which had attempt.
ed to secede continued to be States in
the Union, and all that was required
to enable them to resume their rela.
tions to the Union was that they
should adopt the measures necessarT
to their practical restoration as States
Such measures were adopted. and
the legitimate effect of this action was
that those States having conformet
to all the requirements of the Con
stitution, resumed their former rela
tlons, and become entitled to the ex
ercise Of all the rights guaranteed t
them by Its provisions. The JOIN
resolution under consideration, how
ever, seems to assume that by tn
insurrectlonary acts of their respect
i've inhabitants those States forfeite
their rights as such, and can neve
again exercise them except upon re
admission into the Union on tn
terms prescribed by Congress.
this position be correct, it follow

Howard styled it one of the most
incendiary documents ever emanating
from that source; an open and direct
declaration that reconstructiOns are
illegal and void, and no votes from
these States ought to be counted in
the Electoral College. He continued,
