The Presidents Special Message.
Gen. Grants Report Of Affairs IN he South.

18TH ut, the following important documents
were submitted:
a.Ras:hszSe1ate of the United States:
the RESOLUTION adopted by The
~ 81 the 18th inst have the honor to
s&sthat the rebellion waged by portion
otkle people against the properly constitu-
I'd authority If the Government Of the Uni
ted States has been suppressed; that the U.
States are in possession of every State in
Which the instruction existed, and that as
fl a. it could be done, the courts Of the U.
States have been restored, post-oifices re-es-
tblished and steps taken TO put into effect
ie operation the revenue law Of the coun-
IAsthe result of the measures instituted by
tie Executive, with the view of inducing
disruption Of the functions of the States
dmp'ehended in the inquiry of the Senate,
| he people Of North Carolina, South Carroll
la. Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Lousi
Ana, Arkansas and Tennessee have reorgan-
ICED their respective State governments, and
Fare Welding obedience to the laws and gov
liernrlent Of the United States, y with more
Willingness and greater promptitude than
thz circumstances could reasonably have
antickated.
u prs Josed xmendment of the Coustitu-
ton, providing for the abolition Of slavery
foreyt within the limits Of the country, has
been tilted by each one of these States,
with the exception Of Mississippi, from
which no official information has cen re-
ceiyed, and in nearly all OF them measures
have been adopted, or are now pending, to
confer upon freedmen the privileges which
are essential to their comfort, protection and
security In Florida and Texas the people
are making commendable progress in restor
ing their State governments, and no doubt
is entertained that there will, at an early Pc
Rod, be in condition to resume all of their
practical relations with the General Govern
ment. ..t tsNjF, 80 et
Il is true that in some Of the States the de
moralizng effects of the war are to be seen
in occasional disorders: but these are local
in character, no. frequent in occurrence, and
are rapidly disappearing as tue authority of
civil law is extended and sustained. Per-
picking questions are naturally 10 be expect
I'd from The great and sudden changes in
tSs.-<alations between the two races; bot sys-
ems are gradually developing themselves
lnder which the freedman will receive the
protection to which he is justly entitled and
" means of his labor, make himself a useful
and independent member in the community
1 in which he has a home.
From all the information in my possession
and from that which have recently deriy-
