1 Card from lion. Henry 8. Lane. ' - CRAWFORDSVIIXE, iND.t March 21, 1867. J Editors Journal: . . . Pear Sirs: An editorial in your paper of the 19th instant, does me great injustice, unintentionally, 1 hope. The editorial is entitled, " the milk in the cocoanut," in which it 18 stated, in substance, that Mr. John son has appointed me a Commissioner to adjust the compensation to the loy al owners of slaves who enlisted in the army; and the inference drawn from that appointment is that it in duced me to procure the confirmation . of a long list of Copperheads to the best offices in the State of Indiana. This editorial must have been writ- - tew under a misapprehension of al tne tacts in the case, l have never y sought, or desired, any appointment from the 1'resident, ot any kind orde

i j Bcripuon wnatever, or received any "such appointment.' Three .days after

;. j the adjournment , of ' the last

?-; session of Congress, Mr. Stan

ton tendered to me the ' appoint ment referred to.. Under 'the law, the appointment was to be made by Mri Stanton, ana uhe President had nothinir whatever to do . with it I do not suppose that he knows that -it., has been i- made. ,! After returned home, " I s; received the appointment, made out by Secre tary Stanton, and immediately declin ed it, on account of my private busi-

I ness. I never had a word with Mr.

f Stanton on the subject of this appoint

ment; but the fact that the Secretary had directed ray , appointment; was communicated to me by Col. Foster

Assistant Adjutant General, and I told f him that I w ould much rather the See-

I retary would appoint some one else

-. but if. I found I could discharge the

. duties of the place with advantage to the Government, and without eeriou9 ,"t'. inconvenience, A;, would do go. But, i from the reason above stated, I' was

' compelled to decline it. So far from being a lucrative place, the emolu n merits of the. office would only have t iurnished a very moderate support for v ;:myself and family, while en gaged in. the discharge ot its duties. JNo one who knows me would insinuate that tiv& action ja thp;Senate was controlled in the slightest degree by any nope.of ; -i):yiue?,.roia, me -.rrsuient.'tt j. nave ifl.txeyer intimated to a single human be-;

; r'jitonal above referred; tp is ;trtterlj ixn-

" I desire to state novr a few facts in-

reference to the confirmations' and re. jeetiofww appointees tn lndiana. j The appointment of C6irectors7"Assessors, and Postmasters I regarded as local, and to be controlled by the KcrniblU .. (. can members of Congress, from their several districts ; and 1 counseled with them iq rreferenco to all these appointments,' except 'the .appointment of a Postmaster at Indianapolis. A wmcn regaraea as a estate appoint ment. and which had been bo recard. ed by all administrations, Democratic and Republican and the arDointment at Shelbyville; and in reference to that appointment, 1 had no oppor Tftuaity to consult ,tbe -membeS iroros

the district, and I decided on that ttp pointment as' I thought right under all the iurcumstaaces. ir O ! v So far as I know, or have hc&rdj t- the Republican . members are perfect--, j ly, satisfied with my action in the matter. In reference to the confirmation,1 of r Mr.: .Whittlesey am Deputy Postmaster' at Evansvilte,x I have only this to say r That if I could have h retained , . Mr , McNeely , as Postmaa ":,;.ter, I should certainly have done so. a But he had been, appointed jn the re , JU ces of Congress, and his name Jiad not been sent to the Senate for Icon-' fHM rmations.,and, under the: ConstituJ'l v tioo.his. nomination fu,l witbjthe ad journment of... Congress.' I haft no '1f;q P9T?r ' compel,r hij,reBonipation, and had only to act on such nominee t0 (Kias tbe Department, Went to the t Sen(XHs yf ,ate- n Sunday , morning, "the last ' ' day'of the session, '"between' 1 and 2

Speech of Senator Mortoa a Eecoa .. . . . atroctloir During the discussion of the amend

mc.niA tn the SurnlenrientrT ReconJ firn;tion Bill in the United Btates F,t:e, Senator Morton, of. Indiana, uisc iin-sed the question of allowing the cu)!e in the first instance to vote upon whether or not a Convention should" be called. We find the following remarks by him reported in the Congressional Globe: For one, Mr. President, I am i opposed to submitting the question of convention or 'no convention to i the people ot the rebel States in the j beginning. I think the proposition now offered as an amendment is at variance with this whole movement of reconstruction. We have just provided a Military Government for these people for the protection of the rights of all, and it is now to the interest of all of us to hasten the work of reconstruction, It must not, jf possible be allowed,to be procrastinated. It seems to me that we are softening down very much when, after having' provided a Military Government for these people, we are now so sensitive about having a convention unless a majority of all the voters in a State shall hrst vote in favor of it. I am not in j favor", of ;'' submitting that question in . the-' beginning. - If, -', two-thirds of . the . lawful voters of ' State in the South ere not 'ihlfav6r of a contention, I am not for giving them the power tot defeat a convention ,: jLet them stay away from the polls ; but let them not thereby be able to defeat a convention, and thus defeat the "work of reconstruction and prevent it from going forward Let the first election be held simply for the purpose of electing delegates to the convention, and ix two-thirds of the people of those States choose to stand off upon their dignify or upon a hatred of this Government, - and refuse to take part in it, do not let it be in their power to defeat the work of the convention, and. prevent its being-held. Let that 'go forward; let discussion go on',1.; let' the Convention be held, and the, Constitution fbrniedl It js quite, enough" to give them1 theright t6 vote the constitution down'at the last, moinent. fii Their rights are preserved by me unai voce upon me rauncaiion or hoh-ratihcation ofthe constitution. u We have estaulished a military gov ertnnent fopthese Statee'v It.is pot td the interest or this liepubuc to have thatjgoverhment ' qnUiiTied,' Jne : day longer than is necessary..j ye; pro-, poRe now to provide the machinery by wnicti theteople cango forward in the.work.of reconstruction. If the ebels'lowhiher Ba they will, not 1 ..i.' . .fit 1.1 : nave anyming vj u wiia it, aunougn t f . - . - u . . 1 .1 tneir names are regieterea oy tne eommahding general under 'the terms of this amendment, they: have' but to stay away from the polla and the work is defeated, .1 would not submit that question at all. I would not even give them the power to vote it down airectiy .n . the beginning. liet us simply; have the election of delegates; let us1 have the convention: let us have a" constitution1 formed by the convention; and then it' la .enough. and it is all that thev can reaunrel all ; that is necessary to give all the people alright to vote the. Constitution down at the last moment. They might perhaps, .refuse to hold a convention ; and yet. if it was, held: and a Constitution formed," they would be very likely to 'ratify the Constitution itself. -'It would have gne so far that they would, net. feel like, going back and throwing" everything ' into chaos aeain.K and' cbntinuine this militarv goyerhmenf; but now, when the mili tary government has just commenced. and before they have felt the force of itj'to' give1 them the opportunity of voting down convention altogether, it seemar. tOs me lis impolitic and is at variance wtfh .'"the ;0,bjet we have in view. . .. n iK i -wt ..-.. . 'This. SuDDlemental 'Bill "is to fefo-' vide fhefijiachinery of reorganizationi. If was very properly thought that' what was everybody'fe business jww nobody's business; itimust be placed in the power- of somebody to begin this work--soniebody to go forward in 'it.'"' We want to hasten It. I The country cannot afford to have It pro crastinated, to have it linger on from year , to ; year. The condition ot things down there is abnormal. ; We must hasten ; to make 'it normal, to brine these States into harmonicua relations - with this Government, as soon as it can be done ' consistently with liberty, with safety to all, and with equal rights to all. ' I say-1 would not give to .the ' people, nor would I submit even to the conven tion as provided for by the committee "' the .'Question 7 whether thev will prpyrde a Constitution. Let it.be uirdKtodd that there U to be a convention, that there is to: heva .JknstitutiOn- formed: atidiet' It be formed and ' submitted to the. people; and ; their right ia reserved ; W4 1 the: very last to vote it down.-' if.
