- annual Message Of the President
- delivered = Congress on last Tues
81. Il opens with declaration Of re-
rek that altar he and the rebels had
rooted governmental In the. insurrec-
0uary States to their full satisfaction, i
,ongress refused to accept the settle
tent, and his heart has been sorely
rieved 10 consequences. With ON eff
rontery that 10 even astonishing In him,
e then proceeds In An elaborate repeti-
lon q hi old messages and speeches to
Irgus tlIe ssperority Of his own exploded
md universally repudiated plan Of re-
and to advise the repeal of
u III laws Of Congress providing for
reconstructlon. He graciously states,
however, that he does not consider those
laws % belonging to that class Of legis-
latlon requiring Of him forcible resist
ance.
He Is more than usually denunciatory
Of negro suffrage, and persists in the silly
assertion that to admit them to the
privilege Of voting Is to reduce the white
race to an inferiority 30 degrading that
there can be no hope Of peace or union.
The black population Of the slavehold'
Ing SKATES before the war was four-thir'
teenths Of the whole; yet Andrew John
son In hls desperate appeals to the pre-
JUDGES ~ past age, repeats the self-ev-
ident fAllacy that the four, II allowed to
vote, win necessarily subjugate and re-
duce 70 political bondage the other nine
who possess all that intelligence, learn
ing and past experience, which In poiit-
ical matters, give them superiority
over the minority, as great almost as
their numerical majority. The destruc-
ton OF national liberties by an enlarge
,nent Of the suffrage which he predicts,
Is hardly q imminent as he would have
us believe. The thirty millions of white
people in the Union may be trusted
with the proper defence of their lives,
liberty and government, against any as
sault committed by four millions of
blacks.
Mr.. johnson pleads piteously against
the Tenure of Office bill which strips
him Of the power of removal from office,
except for cause. That act was designed
hS,,, ;,ta al Il
and his message betrays how successful
" that object Has been accomplished.
His references to the currency and the
finances are very general, beyond the
recommendation of legislation for the
early resumption Of specie payments,
and the discontinuance Of q deprecated
currency.
Thus far, during the present year,
-, 10 immigrants from Europe have
arrived 1t New York. ....
A new indictment has been found by
the GRIND Jury, at Richmond, against
JEFF. Davis, upon substantially the same
grounds rs that already pending.
1t b stated in a Washington dispatch
that only 40 out Of 100 votes in the House
can be relied upon in favor of impeach-
ing the President. -...... .-..-.
Garibaldi has received permission to
60 to his home in Caprera. Victor
Emanuel found him too large an ele-
phant, and let him free. The truth is,
% long as Garibaldi was in prison, the
italian crOwn.did not sit very easily on
the Kings head. 1r ....s-8
The trial Of jeff. Davis is again post
ponef-this time until the last of Mach
next. It Is probably quite as well that
the farce of trying the arbitrator be-
fore jury should be delayed, for we
presume nobody has the remotest idea
that anything will come of such trial.
A few more postponements, and the
country will be relieved Of the necessity
ofa trial at all, for, in the nature Of
things, JEFF. Davis, witnesses, judge,
and jury will have passed to land
where trials are unknown. 1t may be
we'll to remark, in this connection, that
jefferson Davis is charged with treason
against the Government of the Uuited
States.
A dog race took place in New York

tremendous pace. The first 100 yard

Kemp's dog. On the home stretch tn
owners urged their dogs to "come on,
when both the animals increased tn
speed, but Mr.. KS dog came in tn
