Comments OF the New York Press

Raymond's paper, the Times, says:
The birthday of Washington was
fittingly chosen for popular demon
strations in favor of the Union. That
in this city was triumphant That at
Washington, equally enthusiastic,
was even more significant, for
there the President himself uttered
Thoughts that breathe and words
that burn - That great effort of
wisdom and patriotism will secure for
him the gratitude of his own coun-
try and the appreciation of the world.
When this wonderful speech has
been attentively read and digested by
the American people, President John
son will be as firmly established in
their confidence and affections as the
most popular of his predecessors.
The Herald says: Andrew Johnson
has taken up the gauntlet which the
Jacobins in Congress have flung
down. The s'man at the other end
of the avenue" has shown his appre-
citation Of Thad. Stevens and his IA
dical clique by the bold and uncom-
promising manner in which he de-
nounced them by name, in his speech
in Washington, on the 22d, MS trai-
tors and reyolutionists. He took
plain issue with them in honest and
homely words. He stands for the
Constitution and the Union. His
enemies, he declares, are working out
another rebellion. The country, we
oplne, will sustain the President in
this view. On the whole, President
Johnsoh's speech is bold, manly and
outspoken. More bold than any
thing which Mr. Lincoln ever pro-
nounced, it is not less redolent of wit.
1t Is not as classical as Sumner, as
ornate as Phillips, nor as evenly ba-
lanced in its sentences as Seward, but
it possesses the sterling qualities of
frankness, courage and truth. It is.
In fact, a speech suited to the man
and to the times.
The Ne,cs thus comments: The
name of Andrew johnson is upon
the lips of the people in accents of
delight and admiration. Never, per-
haps, in the history of our country
have the words of any one man sent
such thrill of hope and satisfaction
through the popular heart as did
those brave words of defiance that
the President, on Thursday, flung in
the teeth of the radical conspirators.
The masses are quick to appreciate
the merits of an act of great political
significance, and they have, as if by
instinct, measured the value of the
bold and determined speech of their
Chief Magistrate. They recognize
IN 1t promise of redemption from
the tyranny of faction and fanaticism.

From Europe.

The steamers Arago ard Hermann
have arrived, bringing acvices to the
14th ultimo. We extract the follow
ing items of tie news:
Lord Russell stated, in reply to a
question, that the Government was
not prepared with an act to carry out
the recommendations of the Select
Committee of 1864, on railway COM
panies borrowing powers.
A fearful gale passed over the
Southern coast of England. It is
expected that many casualties will be
reported.
The Times, of Monday, in leader,
says:
GAS the time draws near for re-
vealing the plans of the Ministry, it
appears to become more and more
certain that the reform bill of 1866
will consist simply of clauses lower
ing the franchise in Boroughs to e6
rating, and in Counties to Els occu-
patton. Itwould seem, unless he has
been sadly beEed, that Lord Russell
has acted upon the advice of Mr..
Bright, and has, greatly daring, re-
solved to stake the existence of his
administration on the success of a
bill which shall give us s6 for e1O
householders, and ELS for ESQ
County tenants. Wecannot suppose
that the Government believes that
such bill as is now predicted will be
accepted as a settlement of the re-
form question.
cit is crude, violent and offensive;
1t expresses no policy it corresponds
to no aims. The conduct of the Mi
nistry on reform seems to show that
they arc themselves conscious that
they are settling down. They yaw
from side to side, and roll and plunge
with every fresh gust and every pass
ing wave; but such things are premo-
nltary of disaster, and we can only
hope that if there is to be a ship
wreck, something valuable may be
left by way of salvage.
In the French Senate, on the 10th
ult., M. Rouher protested against the
speech delivered by M. Boissy, in
Friday sitting. Marshal Forey stated
that the return of the French troops
from Mexico would not take place as
speedily as appeared to be desired in
France, and he even advised that
fresh reinforcements should be sent
on. M. Rouher declared that Mar
shal Forsy had expressed in his
speech merely private opinion, the
views of the Government upon this
subject being those contained in the
speech from the throne, and the
draught of the address.

STRUGGLING CoNGREssMEN.- mail
IS pouring in timely admonitions
from the people to those members
who had resolved to thwart the Execu-
tive policy. Representatives who,
three days ago, were eager for war,
are advised by their constituents that
the country desires peace-peace
between sections-peace between
those who claim to be Unionists in
Congress and the President, whose
devotion to the country needs no ad-
dltaonal test. These healthy protests
from the people direct, will do a world
OF good. They will indicate to those
who have courted division between
Congress and the Executive, that be-
tween faction and terror for the pub
lie welfare the American people can
draw a ready and just distinction.

News FROM HoME.-The radicals
in Washington are hearing from
home by every mail, and all they
hear deepens their conviction that
they have made a great mistake. The
people elected their representatives on
platforms that pledged them to sup
port the President and his policy, and
not to follow the crazy lead of Thad.

the commencement of fire in the
rear that will grow fiercer every day

tphe Fenian Bubble,


In the aggregate vast sum OF money
has been collected by the leaders of the
Fc nian agitation. Most of it has been
drawn by specious appeals from ignorant
and excitable men and women, having
scant resources beyond their several physi-
cal industries, and needing all the wages
they could earn for the comfortable sub
sistence of themselves and families. The
agitators, through long series of months,
have had good time. They haze indu!-
ged in the luxury of elegant quarters, ap-
petizipg food and drinks, and superfne
clothing. i.
Exasperated feeling on the part of a
large majority of the native population
towards Great Britain for her course dur
ing the rebellion, contributed to the ia
cility with which the swindlipg was con-
Quoted The movement gave at least
promise of annoyance, if not Of retribu-
ton; and that was sufficient to ensure it
sort of impunity and encouragement
Great Britain had acted so badly towards
us that it was thought to be justi6able
retaliation to allow raid upon Ireland or
upon some of her Provinces to be engin-
eered from this country. So the affair
went on.
While the leaders enjoyed themselves
at the expense of their dapes, they put
off, under a variety of pretexts, the time
for action, until it could be put off no
longer It became necessary to slink
away and hide in obscurity from crush
ing weight Of Indignation and contempt,
or else to make show of setting on foot
military expedition under the Green
Flag.
We have heard Fenian orators declaim
in characteristic bombast about their con-
templated raid across the border, and the
prodigies of yalor they would enact under
strong inspiration derived from a sightof
the bloody flag of St. George. The elo-
quence was good of its sort, and must
have been palatable 10 men Who could
make, when hungry, satisfactory dinner

But there is terrible falling off in per-

with such paucity of plumbers and def

A New Orleans letter says: One
thing is quite observable at the Catholic
churches, which Protestants might well
learn everywhere, that all persons, rich
and poor, black and white, kneel together
in perfect equality. True there are pews,
and pews sold or rented; but these pews,
especially in the old or French part Of
the city, are indiscriminately rented t.
black and white alike. I noticed in the
old Catholic church of St. Louis, which
cohfronts you as you come up the river,
some of the pews nearest the altar occu-
pied by colored people, and others scat
tered about the church without any eff
fort to discriminate between them and the
white. The Crtholic mayim is, and a
catholic one it is truly, that call are equal
