The Presidents Forthcoming Message
amendments 10 the Consultation
pccnnm nGleh.

WASHINGTON, November 27.-Mr. John
son does not admit that any part Of his
polcv of restoring the southern States re-
I mains 10 he done, so far as the Executive
has power to act. He claims that all that
remains unfinishcd>of his plan is the ad-
mission of legally loyal representa-
tivcs, and that work belongs solely to Con-
grcSS.
In the message Mr.. Johnson will recon
mend several amendments to the constitu-
ton. Among them the adjustment of the
electoral college and the election of presi-
dent and president directly by the vo
tiers at large, without regard to State
boundaries.
I'VE have several times mentioned in
the Dispatch that Mr.. johnson was in favor
of this changed :
Another amendment suggested is the
election of United States Senator by the
voters at large in the several States, in
stead of eecting them by the State Legis-
laturcs: and still another amendment
named is the appointment of judges of the
United States Supreme Court for term
of twelve years each-one-t Of the en-
tire number to be appointed every four
years.
These amendments were suggested some
years ago in the United States Senate by
Mr.. Johnson whilst he was member Of
that body. The amendment proposing the
election Of President by the voters at large,
in the opinion of Mr.. Johnson, will effectu-
ally regulate the question of suffrage
within the States by making it of impera-
tive interest that each State include as
many voters as possible, and thus in proper
| time the franchise will be extended to the
] colored people.
! There are some who believe the Presi-
dent will discuss the universal amnesty
question, and propose some action thereon
| by Congress, but those best advised under
, stand that Mr.. johnson holds that under
+ the Constitution the Executive has sole
! power to grant amnesty and pardons, and
I therefore he will not propose action on that
{ subject by Congress.
A considerable portion of the message
. is devoted to foreign affairs, and especially
10 the controversy with the British Govern
mcut about the Alabama claims, the So
! called Mexican protectorate, and the action
7 of our Government with reference to the
: failure of Napoleon TO withdraw portion
I of his troops from Mexico during this
month,

Special dispatch to the World.
WASHINGTON, November 26.-Leadine
Radical members do not hesitate to de.
clare that it will be ruinous for them tt
press measures looking to impeachment
and it is already believed to be sufficiently
asccrtaincd that so damaging project viii
be nippcd at the onset by a heavy majority
Of the party.
BoSToN, November 26.-The Republican
papers of this city are taking ground
against the impeachment Of President
johnson.
Congress being master of the situation,
they contend that so violent step as i'm.
parchment is wholly unnecessary. And
they declare further, that Massachusetts,
lcW not follow Butler in this matter. Still,
there are large numbers Of the party who
would be glad to see the President dis
graccd ~ by impeachment.
One OF these is n minister in q leading
church here, who yesterday prayed that
God would "remoye our wicked rulers"

Death or Hon. Cave Johnson.

NASHVILLE, November 27.-Hon. Cave
Johnson died at GAINESVILLE, Tenn, on the
ID instant, at an advanced age. The de-
ceased was extensively known throughout
ihe country. He was frequently member
Oh the Tennessee Legislature, and for many
Years prominent member Of the United
Mates Congress. Subsequently he was
IoStmaster-G eneral--a position which he
alIed with signal ability. After the close
o. the late war he was elected by his fell
.sw-citizens TO the State Senate Of Ten
S,essec, but the Radical majority of that
,,ody refused TO admit him to his seat on
Ae alleged ground that he had expressed
-Sioyal sentiments during the rebellion.

NEW York, November 2s.-When, at q late
hour last night, an extra appeared in the streets
with the exciting news from Ireland, the effect
upon the city was unequalled since the news OF
the great victories Of the late war. Places OF
amusement were deserted by people anxious to
hear and discuss the events. Hotels and other
places of resort were thronged by eager and
excited persons, who freely INDUCED in con-
gratulations and hopeful expressions. The
Fenians rushed to the meeting places Of their
circles, hoping to get additional information.
Kilograms were sent to the circles in distant
cities, and enthusiastic responses were instant
" returned Stephens, the head-centre, was
nowhere seen, and it is confidently believed
that he has reached Ireland. It is said that

Irishmen Of that city were excited to fever
heat, and kept up constant call for fresh dis
patches. 49, i
