The business men of the city hold a meeting o-night for the establishment of s Merchants’ * xehange. The objects to be attained are of ‘fie utmost importance to Washington, and should induce every man to zealously strive for their accomplishment. The Merchants’ Exchange 1s the soul of business iy onr léad- ing cities, and bas done more to promote the ‘Gnancial and commercial interests of the coun- try than any other combination of men or circtimstances. No better illustration “ot this fact could be cited than the ‘growth of Baltimore immediately the organizition ot the Merchants’ Exchange. ‘Capital was pledged to the encouragement of industry, trade, and improvement, and the opening of gigantic railway and shipping communications, with their ceaseless flow of travel and freight, is but the legitimate result. ‘The fature of Washington may not be less brilliant, Her natural advantages are superior to many cities far in her advance, and with an earnest, combined and harmonious effort on the part of her citizens, she may build up for herself & commercial emporium surpassed by few cities on the continent. The meeting to-night is not intended for a select few. Every business man of means is desired to unite in the movement, and should Hot hesitate to give his influence to an enter- prise affecting the prosperity of every citizen. PRN: | on tarde A tS President Jehnson’s Views. RECONSTRUCTION AND NEGRO SUFFRAGE. Mr. George L, Stearns, of Boston, pablishes a eport of a conversation between the President and himself, which document previous to be- ing made public was submitted tothe Presi- Ment for his approval. With reference to the Process of reconstruction the President said that we must not be too much ina hurry. It was betier to let the States reconstruct them- selves than to force them to it. He did not ex- pect to kept outall who were excladed from the amnesty, or even a large number of them, but he intended they should sue for pardon, ®nd so realize the enormity of the crime they had committed. We should remember that the Atthe South have been more rapid, and they bave had to accept more unpalatable truth thae the North has, and we must give thero time to digest a partand understand their Dew position. le was opposed togiving the States too much power, and also to a consolidation of power in the Ventral Govern- ment. Our only ‘was in allowing each State to comtrol the it of voting by its own laws, and we have the power to control the Tebel States if they go wrong. If they rebel, We have an army, and can control thei by it, and, if necessary, by legislation also. His po- sition here was different from what it wonld be if he werein Tennessee. There he shonid try to introduce negro suffrage gradually; first those who had served im the army; those who could read and write, and perhaps a properly @valification for others—say #2000r $250. He Would pot to let the negroes have universal suffrage now; it'would breed a war of races. The congressional apportionment is now fixed until 1872; before that time we might change the basis of representation from population to qualified yoters, North as well as ith. and in the course of time, the States, without regard to coler, might extend the elective franchise to Sliwho possessed certain mental, moral, or snueb other other qualifications as might be de- termined by an enlightened public judgment.

The question simply hance, Queen's government bave th fully and honestly performed the duties which international laws and their own municipal laws im) upon them. The reply of Mr. Adams is dated May éth. He says that the ins: ts became -beiliger- ents on the ocean solely by reason of the facili- ties furnished in their ijesty’s ports for them ,odoso. He complains of the secret sy: ¥ of Her Majesty's officers in the port of Liver- pool, and contends that, after the information which beanpaiied. respecting <p it was by the flagrant negligence of Her Majesty's Board of Customs that this vessel, admitted to be intended for war purposes, was suffered to depart from Livy: 5 n interval of three months elapsed be- tween the above letter and Earl Russell's re- ply to it, in response Earl Russell proceeds to justify the course of Her Majesty's Government in recognizing the belligerents, and reasons are given why there was extreme difficulty in giv- ing orders toexclude from British ports ves- sels of war partly fitted up in the United Kingdom. A very important point is referred to in this letter. ¥arl Russell notices a statement in a letter from Adams, in 1563, as to the Govern- ment of Washington being ready to refer these disputes to arbitration. Earl Russell declines this offer,andsaysitisa question, in the first place, whether the Queen's Government have acted in good faith in main- tainmg their neutrality; and, in the second place, whether the law officers of the Crown bave soupy interpreted a British statute. Earl Russell continues:—“The Q ueen’s Gov- ernment can refer neither of these questions to arbitration.” The words used by him are as follows Her Majesty’s Government are the sole guar- dians of their own honor, They cannot admit they have acted with bad faith in maintaining the neutrality they professed. The law officers of the Crown must be held to be better inter- preters of a British statute than any forei| Government can be presumed to be. Her jesty’s Government, must therefore decline to maaike reparation and compensation for tares made by the or to_refer the uestion of any foreign Stare. Her Majesty’s Government conceives that if they were to act otherwise they would endanger the ition of neutrals in all future wars.

Adams considers there te now no dispute asto the fact that the recognition of the South as be! mts was such an act as was néver done by one nation towards another in a state of amity. He es the British ernment with having act ere know- ledge, and mere uTD| 5 asta- ming that tie evidence of the Mtockade of the Southetn ports was imperfect. The blockade, he says, was the consequence, not the canse of ‘British poliey. He thinks that the only excuse for the Brittsh Government is that itt conduct was precipitate. He then intimates that if the doctrines and practices of the British Govern- ment are allowed to become the rule, the United States will not become the greatest losers thereby. Mr. Adams does not appear to think that the pregees! of Earl Russell, to refer the questions in dispute to a commission, will be accepted by the United States Government. The Times and the Post are silent on the cor- reepeneence. 6 Deity Nows says: Besides the magnitnde of the questions affect- ing neutrals, the matters in dispute are closely connected with the maintenance of friendly re- lations between England and America.
