SENATOR SUMNER ASKING FOR
MORE.

Senator SUMNER made speech in Boston
on Tuesday evening, in which he narrated
his difficulties in his attempts to manage
The PRESIDENT; his failure to accomplish his
purposes, the result being an utter dis
agreement between them. He gave his hear
ers, among other things, copy Of the tele-
graphic dispatch he sent President JOHNSON
in November, 1865, for which he forgot to pay
giving piece of his gigantic mind to The
PRESIDENT. Concerning the duty Of Con-
gress to ask for more" Mr.. SUMNER said:
an the first place, Congress must be sus-
tanned in its conflict with the one!man power:
and in the second place, ex-rebels must not
be restored to power. Bearing these two
things in mind, the way will be easy. or
course, the Constitutional amendment must
be adopted As far as 1t goes, IL Is well; but
it does not go far enough. More must be
done. Impartial suffrage must be estab-
lished A homestead must be secured to
every freedman; il in no other way, through
the pardoning power. If to these is added
education, there will be new order Of things,
with liberty of the press, liberty Of speech,
and liberty Of travel, so that Wendell Phil
lips may speak freely in Charleston or Mobile.
There is an old English play which goes
under the name Of the four "Ps." Our pres
ent desires may be symbolized by four "Es, v
standing for emancipation, enfranchisement,
equality, and education. Let these be Sc
cured, and oil else will follow. l can never
cease to regret that Congress has hesitated
by proper legislation to assume temporary
Jurisdiction over the whole rebel region. To
my mind the power was ample and unques-
tionable, whether in the exercise of belliger-
ent rights or in the exercise Of rights derived
directly from the Constitution itself. In this
way everything needful might have been ac-
complished. In the exercise Of this just ju-
risdiction the rebel communities might have
been fashioned anew, and shaped to loyalty
and virtue. The President lost a great OPP
portunity at the beginning; Congress has lost
another. But it is not too late. If indis-
posed to assume this jurisdiction by an en-.
abling act constituting provisional govern,
ments, there are many things which Congress
may. do, acting directly or indirectly. Act.
ing indirectly, it may insist that emancipa.
ton, Acknowledgement, equality, and educa.
ton shall be established as condition pre-
cedent to the recognition Of any State whose
institutions have been overthrow by rebel
lion. Acting directly, it may, by constitu
tional amendment or by simple legislation
| fix all these forever"

The New FOREIGN MINISTER OF FRANCE.--
As the successor of NJ. Drouyn de llluys
the Emperor of the French has appointed as
Foreign Minister the Marquis de Moustier.
This nobleman was the French Minister at
Berlin from 1853 to 1852 was Minister to
Vienna until 1864, and was afterwards Min
lister to Constantinople. He is said to be a
man of intelligence, though as yet he has
had no opportunity of greatly distinguishing
himself The Paris Temps thinks that his
familiarity with the disputes in European
politics between Russia and Turkey, known
as the eastern Question" and his former
connection with Prussia, were the causes
leading to his appointment,
