Sweet words for JeE. Davis from
Georgia.

7sle0rdphte Dtspd;ch to Richmond.
Mr.. Henderson introduced the fol-
lowing resolutions, Saturday, in the
Georgia House, and they were adopted
unanimously in both branches of the
legislature
WHEREAS, The general assembly
would do great injustice to the great
heart of Georgia not TO give some formal
expression of respect for the character
and services of the illustrIous prisoner
of State, Jefferson Davis. All the gen
erous pulastions ofthat heart are in full
unison and sympathy with his suffering
and misEortuneS. Its warm affections
cluster around the fallen chief of a once
dear but now abandoned cause. There
they will cluster and center while men
admire all that is chivalric in nature,
while they regard all that is noble land
virtuous.
Therefore the general assembly re-
solve. That their sincerest coincidence
and warmest sympathy are tenderediIo
Mr.. Jefferson Davis in his confinement,
and they look forward with anxious
sOlicitude to the day when our mag
unanimous and patriotic President shall
put an END to his confinement, and by
the interposition ofexecutive clemency
restore him to a people for whom heso
faithfully struggled, and on account of
whom he endures with Christian foFfi-
tude the hardships of long and rlgor-
ous imprisonment.

ThHd. stevens Speech At the Recep-
tIOn banquet Given to the Republic
can Members of Congress.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.
The Hon. Thad. Stevens made one of
his characteristic speeches at the ban
quet yesterday, in honor of the Union
members Congress. He attacked the
President with vigor, declaring that
having been elevated into power
through an unexpected event visited
upon the nation for its sins, he now
wished to be King instead of President,
Mr.. Stevens said the war was not over
It's main and final object was pursued
by the enemy with relentless energy.
The object had at first been to rule over
at least half the country as n nation OF
slaves, to introduce free trade and to
humiliate the North for its persistent
advocacy of freedom. The object now
was to rule theIwhole nation, by means
OF an oligarchy, making negroes and
cOpperheads contribute to the Increased
power of the South through the increase
of the number of its votes, to seize the
reins of government, TO introduce free
trade, and to break down the mOdestV
ofthe free people of the North. During
the war jeff. Davis was commander-in-
chief of the rebel army, with Lee as his
chief adviser. Now, Andrew johnson
was their commander-in-chi and
poor old Wool was their chief martial
adviser, and for the navy they had
Semmes and Welles. ILaughter1 The
people were to decide now whether they
were to have Andrew Johnson as Presi-
dent or as King, for they were told
they had no other choice LETT. LLaugh-
teri He wanted the encouragement
of the soldiers. The enemy had
the vantage ground, having pos
session of the White House. and
was dispensing with u corrupt hand
the vast patronage of the nation, and
yet he had no fears. The army con-
sisted Of citizens as we'll as soldiers. 1t
had a few mercenary officers like the
Steedmans, the Dixes, and the WooIs;
but If the government were to order
Grant, or Howard, or Farragut to do
rs treacllerOuS work, they would break
their swords rather than obey. With
Sheridan for leader, and 25 or 50. 900
colored soldiers, they might defy An
drew johnson and all who might follow
his lead. But if the time should ever
come when the conspirators would
muster audacity equal 10 their ambition
and, as once happened in England,
attempt to turn the regular army
against the people, Congress would not
have to rely on the Southern freedmen
alone. The men of the loyal North
would spring to their feet and unsheath
their weapons, as when they heard the
hrst booming cannon of Sumter.
Let Congress be bold, and the soldiers
ofthe last war would take care of the
rest, and the usurper who leads the
hostile forces would have time aud
leisure to revise his boasted proclama-
ton In one of the casemates of For
tress Monroe. [Cheers.] The usurper's
bead would rest much more quietly, to
be sure, on alap-board and goose than
when oppressed with crown. laugh
teri With less than impartial suffrage,
never be'reconstructed. He would not
be content with such puerile work as
universal amnesty and universal suf-
frage. @

The New York Sun reminds me-
chanics and laborers living in the
country that the idea SO nniversaIly
entertained that in the great city work
can always be obtained at high prices,
is an error, and adds:
sit should be understood that even
in the largest cities the demand for
labor and the supply are as nicely ad-
iusted as in the smallest towns and
hamlets. 1t is a mistake also to sup
pose work more remunerative here
than elsewhere. The actuaI wages
may make it appear SO, but it must be
remembered that house rent, fuel, pro-
visions and clothing are all up to the
highest hgures, with small chance of
decline during the winter months. 1t
Is therefore a dangerous experiment
for workmen to come to New York
without any purpose beyond waiting
for such opportunities as may turn up.
At the present time such step is espe-
cially nuwise, for every department of
labor is full, and likely TO remain SO at
least until spring.

The above extracts, coming from the
four principal New York morning jour
mails, are fair specimens OF the tone of
the Republican and Copperhead press,
in regard to the Message, as also of an
intermediate class represented by the
Times and Herald. We should say
that fully three-fourths of the newspa-
pers of the country condemn the Mes
sage as weak, tame, partisan docu-
ment.

PROSPECT OF A EUROPEAN WAR.

Europe seems to be on the brink of o gen.
eral war, and tho last advices as to the propo.
sed conferences afford scarcely any reason for
allaying apprehension. For months past Prus-
aia, Austria and Italy have been arming A
million of men ore now in the field, and any
unforeseen contingency may preoipitate hos
tilities. The French Emperor, who by word,
could dispel the war cloud. has but added to
the general apprehension By bis recent declar.
alton at Auxerre, that he detested the treaties
of 1915, which form the bas,s of the present
national boundaries. Con nferenoss have been
proposed, but con ferences, as tho London Her
aid remarks, can do nothing. A Congress is
impracticable, because as correspondence the
New York Times states the very questions ito
be settled are the ones which must be excluded.
For example: Russia will enter an European
Congress, but only on the condition that moth
ing shall be said about Poland. Prussia will
enter also, bat not to renounce her pretensions
