In the House there was a like fiery discussion. The bill was amended so as to limit it to sections of the country where the habeas corpus remained sus- pended on February 1, 1866. The Senate removed the amendment, so that the original bill passed both Houses and February 10th went to the President. He returned it with a veto. He objected to thus legislating without the new represen- tatives and senators from the South. He declared that the bill interfered with the local administration of jus- t...ice ; that it was unconstitutional for the general Gov- ernment to sirpport indigent persons; that it was un- reasonable to make provision for a class or color ; that it was extravagantly expensive, there being $11,745,- 000, according to the commissioner's estimates for the 281 Autobiography of Gen. O. O. Howard current year, and likely under the bill to be double that amount — " greater than the entire yearly administra- tion of John Quincy Adams." The Senate did not get a two-thirds vote to over- come the veto, several senators having changed their attitude regarding it, so that Trumbull's bill failed to become a law.
