In the Executive as would enable him. If so

Gus class and use them for the attainment
of his own political ends." It can not be
overlooked that If the President had follow
ed the Radical programme, insisted upon
enforcing the right of the negroes to vote
in the South, disiranchised the whites of
the same section, and filed the country with
agents to take care of the negroes, he would
have had about a hundred votes in the
Electoral College in his own hand. = ~"
Whatever comes of 1t, the veto has killed
the bill, for the necessary two-thirds vote
to pass 1t, notwithstanding the objections
of the President, could not be obtained in
the Senate; and the intelligence Of this re-
suit was received with such an uproar Of
applause in the galleries that they were, as
on the day before, at the conclusion Of the
reading Of the Presidents message, cleared !!


The exercise Of the veto power Is looked
upon by many as almost an act Of usurpRrl
tlon, but the tendency of popular assem-,
blages to an extravaganza not usually
found in one man vested with exacting re-
spOnsibilities, has often been remarked, and
the value of the veto to check the -exagrf
gerated development of a sentiment, is rec
OgniZed by the cool and judicious. Con-
gress has needed an admOnitiOn that the
will of its majority was a distinct thing
from the fiat of Omnipotence; that there Is
another departments of the Government and
the people above all, to be heard from. We
are hopeful the veto will have the effect to q
give more sobriety and wholesome practi--
cability to the, business of legislation

Whether the Presidents plan will be adj

a question, the determination of which by
great numbers will be decisive as TO sup
porting or condemning him. Many objec-
tions may be urged to any plan. All are
necessarily imperfect. There will be suf-

of the South, at the hands of those who
have been their owners. whatever we do;
and the problem is to modify the evils for
which we have no unfailing remedy, by
the process that combines the greatest de- ,
gree OF efficiency with the least expense.
Whatever experiments are tried, the iron
grip of the military is still upon the South,
and the President tells us he is ''already
armed with the powers conferred by the
act of March, 1865, establishing the Freed
mems Bureau; and hereafter, as heretofore,
he can employ the land and naval forces of
the country to suppress insurrectiOn and

they never had in the South if the day shall
come when the lands shall not be parceled in

What would you say to the North Carolinian,
the Tennessean, the Kentuckian, the Missourian
the Alabamian, aye, and the Louisianian who
stood by the old flag? They got no bounties for
Joining the armies of the United States On the
contrary, there was everything to deter them
from doing so. They Joined the army on cer-
tainty that they stood on par with him who
addressed you-that we were all to be hung at
sight, if caught Laughter. Many of them
saw their comrades executed.


Let me state here what actually took place in
the Department of North Carolina A regiment
of North Carolinians enlisted and portion of
the regiment was.captured at Plymouth. Twen-
ty-two men of the regiment were tried and hang
ed by order of General Pickett, former officer
OF the United States army, simply because they
were loyal to the flag and the country which
gave them birth. And what do YOU think was
the answer of General Pickett to the general
officer who demanded an explanation, and wrote
to him that retaliation mi ght be taken on officers
of the Confederacy? The answer was IF the
officers on whom you retaliate are those who
have deserted from the United States service and
enlisted into the Confederate States service, l
think you would do right to hang them" We
happened to have in our hands no such officers
at that moment, but thought the suggestion
exceedingly good one, coming from Pickett, who
nau HlmseI deserted the service OF the Unlted
States and gone into the service of the Confed-
eracy. | think that letter of General Pickett is
eminently suggestive of what it our duty.


As to those true men of the South, l think they
are worthy of separate resolution Even if
some of you do not agree with me in the idea of
distributing some Southern land among Northern
soldiers, surely no person can stand up and
argue against the proposition to distribute few
acres of lands of the South among those loyal
friends who fought for them and fought for
If you would take in few black men in the
same way it would not hurt the argument any,
in my opinion. But am now speaking for my
white brethren of the South-men for whom
have the highest respect, who were faithful
among the faithess found. and with whom ]
have perhaps something of fellow feeling
caused by circumstance to which have just
now alluded,


pray you excuse me fellow-soldiers, if show
little of this fellow feeling for them in suggest


ing that the lands of their rebel neighbors, who
overawcd them, hunted them down, shot their
comrades and hung all of them that they could
catch, should be at last divided among them as
compensation for the losses they suffered in
standing by the Union, that hereafter every
man in the country may know that if he stands
by the flag it will protect him and will sooner
or later reward him for his devotion.

We are informed that the daily IA

bread and vegetables, coffee, a reason

We are not surprised at his fighting
well. Pluck depends a great deal upon
diet, and if soldier is not well fed,
fighting goes against his stomach.
There is very little reason to doubt
that the South failed in her struggle
from the poverty of her commissary
and quartermastcr departments. And
had it been possible to feed our soldiers
at the conclusion of the war as well as
we did at the commencement, there is
very little reason to doubt that the de-
cisiOn of that contest would have been
far different. Good clothes and good
food have vast deal to do with the
courage and esprit de corps of soldiers.
Our poor boys were kept ragged and
bareiooted too long, and corn bread
and sorghum reduced their pugnacity.

have had judicious supply of brandy
