WASHINGTON, Februarr

WASHINGTON, February Is, 1866.
DEAR PHGNIx: LAST Monday being the
anniversary OF the birthday Of the assas-
sinated President, was suitably celebrated
at the Capitol, and according to previons
action on tho part of both Houses of Con-
gress, Mr.. Bancroft delivered an eulogy on
the character of the late Mr. Lincoln. I
did not hear it, but have read it, and am
sorry to say that it fell far below nv ex
pectations. During the past three days, 1
have been to every place of interest both
in this city and Georgetown. The Capitol
is q magnificent building. It covers four and
one-third acres Of ground, and there arc
thirty acres Of the surrounding grounds,
highly beautiied and dotted with historic
statuary. Tho rotunda Of the Capitol ia
220 feet from floor to ceiling. surmounted
by o bronze Goddess OF Liberty, 80 feet in
heighth, whose apex is 400 feet above the
surrounding grounds. At the base OF this
bronze goddess, there is q circular balus-
trade, from which the view is beautifully
picturesque, embracing the entire District
OF Columbia, the city of Alexandria, Airing
ton Heights, and other places Of interest.
The frescoed pictures, superb Oil paintings,
hfe-like statuarv, spacious Congressional
halls. Illuminated at night with electricity.
and heated by machinery. and the extern
slve library, are all full Of interest to the
spectator; but it would fill volume to de-
tail their minutie. The Navy and Trcasu-
rry Department, Post Office, White House,
National Observatory, Washington Monu-
ment, and other public buildings, are pisces
OF much inter est to the visitor.
The levce at the White House, on last
Tuesday evening, was . brilliant occasion.
There was gorgeous display of dress,
and fair proportion Of wit and beauty.
Every gentleman with whom have con-
versed, from the President to the humble
citizen, has expressed great sympathy
Tor the present condition Of the Southern
people, with one exception, and learned
that he was incapable Of feeling for his
race, The business Of my present mission
here has brought me in contact with most
OF the representative citizens of this city,
and all have expressed a sincere desire Tor
the proper adjustment Of all difficulties,
and the universal reign Of peace.
The fashionables are over for few
weeks--at least during the days Of Lent.

President Johnson, on the 10Th,
sent to the Senate his veto of the
amendatory freedmen's bureau bill.
The President takes the ground that
it is unconstitutional, and that the
appointment of agents in every coun
ty where freedmen and refugees exist
would impose too much patronage in
the hands of the Executive, and
would enable him to use it for the
attainment of political ends, if he
was SO disposed He expresses the
earnest hope that n 4 ,.estion so I'M
portant to the country will not be-
come law, unless upon the delibe-
rate consideration of the people, and
that it should receive the sanction of
an enlightened public Judgment.

Thursday Morning, February 22. 1855
The Day.

The 22d day of February is day
hallowed in it's associations by every
true American citizen. On that day,
God gave to the American people and
to the world one Of the purest men
and noblest of patriots that He has
ever vouchsafed to mankind, in the
birth of George Washington. This
anniversary should be observed and
commemorated in mighty and united
effort 70 restore fully. the peaceful
relations between the people of our
whole country. We have had enough
of angry denunciations-enough of
rant and buster enough of sectional
strife; let us, then, on this day, sa-
cred to ssthe Father of his Country, ;"
endeavor to Danish .frona our hearts
and minds that bitterness of feeling
which four years cruel strife and war
have sengen,lered. az
The Southern States have pro-.
missed, and what they have pro missed
they will perform. They have re-
nswed their allegiance, andthe cove
nant they have entered iinto must be
kept both ID ietter and spirit. The
only certain way of doing this, is to
be :acaerase and calm. and restrain
an passionate repiining. The Rich
mond Dispatch says truly, we need no
men of violent assertions- mo mere
party hacks. We require men who
will be moderate in their demands,s
and firm and reasonable in the ex-
preston Of ofttheirsopinions. We have
much work before us, and must not
expect to obtain in a moment, as the
price of defeat, that which would
have been glorious victor's crown!
Let our statesmen and people be but
moderate in their expressions and
actions, and We shall secure conf
dence and respect In the place of ILL
disguised fear, and in the end we
shall yet realize that freedom of
thought, will and deed, which is the
dearest boon that liberty offers to
mankind. aass
We could wish that, on this day,
Andrew johnson would proclaim a
universal amnesty, and q proclama-
ton restoring the Southern States,
as far as Executive authority can do
it, to their Just political status in
the Union. It wonld be a fitting and
patriotic celebration of the day.

Matters are evidently approaching an

The DIPLOMATIC TRouB1R OVER
BANcRoFT's GRAFTON. all that
we hear, it seems that the ext1aordi-
nary attacks made by Mr.. Bancroft,
in his speech of the 10Th instant,
have excitedl 'lch indignation among
the diplomatists at Washington. The
Austrian Minister appears to have
been the first to protest officially.
and III the most decided manner. It
will be remembered that Mr.. Ban
croft, in two different passages of his
discourse, called the Emperor Maxi
milan, brother of the Emperor of
Austria, ''the Austrian adventurer."
We are assured that Oh the evening of
the 18th, the Austrian Minister
sought an interview with the Secre-
tary of State on this subject, and
expressed to him, without reserve.
the painful impression produced
upon him by this injurious epithet,
adding that he felt the insult the more
as it had taken place in the midst OF
solemnity to which he had been
expressly invited by the Presidents
of both Houses, as we'll as by Mr..
Seward himself. It seems that the
Secretary of State, instead Of seeking
to extenuate Mr.. Bancroft's express
sion, at once contested the Austrian
Minister'S right to complain of it, and
that because the Cabinet of Vienna
had several times declared its inten-
ton of remaining aloof from the
Mexican affairs. The Austrian Mi
mister is said to have declined to acceps
a theory by which the person of the
Prince, ,as member of the imperial
family of Austria, would not have
been separated from his political DO
sition, and declared that he persisted
IN protesting against Mr.. Bancroft's
insulting expression. We are not yet
aware whether the British Minister
has officially protested against the
attacks directed to the policy of his
Government. It is, however, certain
that he complains greatly of them,
and that he retracted his acceptation
of a dinner invitation ut the house of
n member of Congress as soon as he
heard that this dinner was given in
honor of MIR. Bancroft.

Drifting to Capitalization.


In the House of Representatives in
Congress, last week, member from
Ohio introduced bill to establish a
National Bureau of Education. The
bill provides fors"the appointment OF
a commissioner of education, who
shall make an annual report, exhibit
ing the condition and progress of
education in the several States and
territories, and diffusing among the
people such information as may assist
in maintaining efficient school sys-
TENS, and otherwise promote the
cause of education throughout the
country .'--'..
This at first sight appears very
plausible, but second thought will
convince all that this is another step
towards centrahzing all power in the
hands of the General Government.
Every State in the Union has its own
school system, and the State Govern
ments are better prepared to attend
to the promotion of education within
their respective limits than the Ma
tional Government ever can be.
Every new bureau of the National
Government requires new corps of
officers to manage its affairs. AS a
cotemporary well remarks, there is
no call for the supervision of Federal
officials in a mission that progresses
we'll under the direction of those who
are the Legitimate !!ioIIia.ersos Of Tic trust
The expenses Of public education are
sufficiently great without the imposi-
ton of additional taxes on the people
for the support of Federal officials in
the sinecures of bureau of educa-
tion.
In the Southern States, we are of
opinion the bureau to supervise the
interests Of the freedmen will be all
sufficient to attend to the education
OF the colored children, and as to the
whites, the States have all made
annual and ample appropriations for
common schools. We hope, there
fore, that these insane attempts Of
innovation upon the organic law of
the country will fail. Constitutional
amendments and the establishment Of
bureaus all look to the centralization
of powers dangerous tendency in a
republican form of Government.
We have confidence yet in the good
sense of the masses Of the people
throughout the land, and we believe
