RECONSTRUCTION.

CinoAao, Maroh 1. The Minnesota Legislature has adopted tho following resolution by a strict party vote :—: — Resolved— That it is to Congress that the people look for a true recoi Hruction policy, and we rely upon its-itrm-ness and wisdom in the present, oxi? gencies of public affairs. Resolutions sustaining the President were tabled by a party vote, and both Houses of tho Legislature adjourned today. The Wisconsin Legislature passed the following :— Resolved— That while we remember with gratitude the noble and devoted patriotism manifested by President Johnson during the dark days of the rebellion, we should be guilty of deceiving him and misrepresenting our constituents if we failed to declare that ! his message vetoing tho Freedman's , Bureau Bill, in its general tone and • spirit, has caused pain and disappointment among his true friends and supportors, and has been hailed with exuberant joy by every man whoso sympathies were with the rebellion, and 1 who were cold and indifferent when treason threatened the life of the Repubr lie. Resolved — That we most cordially endorse and approve the action of the Senators and Representatives in Congress who havo persistently asserted the right of Congress to determine for itself when and in what manner it will admit the Representatives from the States disorganised by the rebellion, and we ' earnestly request them to firmly resist tho admission of the Representatives from such States until peacefully secured, and the people of each State positively guarantee equal and exact justice to all men within her borders. The "Herald's" Fortress Monroe correspondent states that Jeff. Davis pretended to be surprised that a National Salute was fired on tho 22nd, which included one gun for each of the rebel States.
