The excitement in Congress yesterday, as woll as throughout the country, over the message of the Presi- dent vetoing the Freedmen’s Bureau bill was very great. Soon after the commencement of the proceodings in the Senate Mr, Wac oposed a constitutional amendment rondering any resident inoligibls for ro-election after serving ono term. ‘This, although tho pro- poser said it had long bocn on his mind, was apparently aimed at Mr, Jobnson, in re- kurn for his veto, as Mr. Wade, in a speech of somo length which he mato in its support, animadverted soverely on the President's reconstruction policy, saying Ghat it was one that suited every rebel, copperhead and enemy of the government, and was no bettor than trea- won itself. Atono o'clock the Freedmon’s Bureau bill came up in regular order, on the question whether it whould be passed over th» veto, when Mr. Garrett Davis took the floor and delivered another speech of consider- able length in opposition to it. He was succoaded by Senator Trumbull, in a long address eulogistic of tho pro- posed moasure, aud condemnatory of the President's action, after which, amidst profound eilence and great anxioty, tho question was taken, whon it was found that the bill had faiied to pass over the veto by a two-thirds majority, thero being only thirty votes in the afflmative w oighteen in the nogative. The announcement of this suppers, exhibitions and other ceremonies in honor of the occasion will take place. We give in our Supplement sheet of this morning both the official and unofficial pro- Grammes for ¢ho celebration in this city, as well as some reau bill has fallen like an exploding bomb- shell among the rank and file of the dominant party in Congress.

The reply of Secretary Seward to Mr. Bigolow's des- patch enclosing ths speech of the Emperor Napoleon in reference to Mexican affairs has beon printed and will be forwarded to Europe to-day. Mr. Seward alludes with considerable severity to and denies the assertion of the Emperor that our government had boon invited to join France in hor Mexican intervention bofore tho introduc- tion of French forces into the army of Maximilian. General Grant's ordor permitting publication of the Richmond Brawminer to be resumed is given among our country is blessed with a man for President who hae the sagacity and nerve to do his duty in this cage, The President remarked that the Froedmon’s Bureau under the prosent bill would cost the country twenty-three millions a year, more than the whole oost of the govern- mont atthe timo of the second Adams, This estimate of Mr. Johnson isprobably too low. The cost is more likely to be thirty milMons, if we consider the temptation: the bill offers to the host of agents it oreates to handle" and spend the government money without limit. This is a monstrous teaturo of the bill; but the cost to the country in other ways, in keeping it unrestored and im a state of agitation and uncertainty, in paralyzing industry, in with- holding the valuable produotions of the South, in embarrassing the finances of the government and eountry, and in breaking down our oredit, both at home and abroad, would be enormous. The cost to the country in this point of view might be reckoned by hundreds of millions If this Freodmen’s Bureau bill, just votoed by the President, should beeome law by passing it over the veto, we need not think of returning to specie payments during the present genoration. Are the people prepared to submit to-such reokless.and ruinous legislation? We are con- vinced: they are not, and if Congress should pars the-bill every mombor who may vote for it will incur a fearful responsibility. A Goop-Orrortunrrr vor THH PRESIDENT TO to Congress from which to choose—the aban- President Johnson. The House incline to the latter alternative; but what can thoy hope to gain by this course? The South- ern restoration policy of President Johnson carried the republicans victorlously through all the Northern State elections of last autumn, from Maine to California ; and in preparation for the opening New England elections of the present year the party still depends for its auc- cess upon its adhesion to Andrew Johnson. What, then, will most probably bo the conse- quences of a break between the party in Con- gress and the administration? The demoral- ization and disintegration of the party throngh- out the country and in Congress itself, wide- spread confusion in our political affairs, and fruitless legislation, for a year or two longer at least, upon all the great questions of the day so urgently demanding a settlement. What else can we expect from a declaration of war against the executive from the legislative de- partment of the goverament under the present state of things? The administration may survive without tho co-operation of Congress; but the dominant party in Congress cannot survive a rupture with an administration of its own ohoosing.

The radical journals may be said to be in the pre- dicament of Launoelot Gobbo in the play, be- tween his conscience and the fiend. “Budge not” (in opposition to the veto), says conscience. “Budge,” says the fiend of radicalism. Greeley is butting his head against a stone wall, as is. his favorite custom. His argument, if the misty exhalation oan be called such, is but a repetition, of the noisy cry of “On to Rich- mond” with which he used to amuse the coun- try during the war. But in knocking his head against President Jobnson’s stone wall he has got at the idea that the Freedmen’s Bureau bill is “a blind and roundabout way of doing jus- tice” to the negro, and that the slave docs not want “coddling and petting.” But Greeley arrives at the sage conclusion that whatever wrongs or indignities the blacks may be sub- jected to “will be charged to the President;” which, of course, everybody knows to be true, and prosperity all over the land. The scheme of enlarging this Freedmen’s behalf the Treasury of the United States an almshouse for the feeding and clothing of the masses of the Southern blacks and idle white refugees, is a echeme which cannot stand against the veto before the tax-paying Ameri- can people. The true course, therefore, of the republicans im Congress is to abandon itand their Committee of Fifteen, and fald in with the safe, simple and acceptable Southern policy of President Johnson.
