Wasuicron, Feb. 27, 1867, The Recoustruction Mill-The lmependi Vete—Southern Opinion of the Measure. For reasons best known to himself the President has postponed sending tn the veto of the Military bill to-day. Common romor assigns this delay to the importunities of distinguished personages, some of whom called upon him this forenoon and endeavored to persuade him to sign the bill, On the part of his moat intimate friends, however, it is alleged that he will certaitty adhere to his veto, which was laid before the Cabinet yesteriay, Perhaps nothing better could have been devaed to Bring out popular sentiment in the South than to Hime had some prominent man of the record and sympathies of Senator Johnson pursue the course taken by him on the Reconstruction bill. It nas afforded opportunities to the demagogues of the South to denounce him, which has been done without stint, and it bas been the occa- ston of thanks and Congratulations to him on the part of the solid yeomanry of that section. The following is aly one of the thousands of similar letters from the South received by that Senator on the subject of his vote, It plainly shows the character and intelligence of ‘ts author, and, it is believed, repreeents the views of wearly all the Southern people who have really any ma- terial interests to be affected by federal legisiation. The Jetter ir from Emory, Va. dated the 23d:— Permit « stranger, a citizen of the South, who watches thourbitully and solicitously the course of public events, to express to you his adwiration and his thanks, Be found and “earnest, for the statesmanship, no Jess than the patriotism, which actuated seul vote in the Senate on the 20th on the Military Reconstruction bill. In public affairs that which is 1iself bad may be relatively geod, apa 1 honor the wisdom and courage that accept ‘the best practicable, though it may be far from best per a. Some of tue disabilities of the bill in question are weediessiy harsh and severe upon us of the south; but ‘what we need most—what we suffer deo. &e. pose— this view you nobly Personal convictiovs to the exigency; and while you could not secure what ou esteemed fittest, worthiest, you accepted the best you could get, In behalf of our stricken Southern coun try and of the whole land I thank you for it.
