EVENING STAR. W. B. WALLACH, Editer and Proprietor. WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY......DECEMBER 6, 1866, S7 READING MATTEB ON BVYERY PAGE. SBE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- @RAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER THE STAR. Senators and Representatives can have the Dat.y EVENING Stak delivered regularly and promptly at their residences, in wrappers, by ordering it through the Secretary of the Senate, | the Clerk of the House of Kepresentatives, or at the office of the Stan, corner of 1ith street and Pennsylvania avenue. . — +208 THANKSGIVING Day.—To-morrow being the | Gay set apart by the President of the United States as a day of thankgiving and praise, no paper wil be issued from this office. IN DEMAND.-¢ Judging by the public demand, as shown by the pressure at the Star counter yesterday, no | meeuage ever issued by an American President bas been looked for with so much eagerness as | that of President Johnson yesterday. It was set up by our active corps of compositors with unprecedented rapidity, and then for hours our lightning presses, running at their full speed, were quite unable to keep up with the demand of the public. The fact that we issned complete abstracts of all the Cabinet reports also tended to increase the demand for the Star. | It was a bard day's work for all engaged about the Star office, but they found their reward in the gratification with which the public received the result of their Inbors. THE PRESIDRNT'S MBSSAGE. The message of President Johnson seems to | meet with asingular unanimity of approval. | All our exchanges which bave reached us to- day with comments on this document, echo the expressions of public sentiment here, endors- ing the statesmanlike propositions, and argu- ments supporting the President's policy. The indestructibiiity of the Government; the Con- stitutienal abolition of human slavery; the Dignity of Labor, by which the people are made independent and self-sustaining; the Maintainence of the public Credit by economy im the public expenditures and punctuality in the payment of the public debt, non-interven- tion of foreign powers with the “Continental Republic,” ava ensangling alliances with none of the netions of the earth, are the characteris- ties of the message. The policy respecting the freedmen is clearly set forth, and cannot fail of gratifying the entire conservative element of the country. The President shows that a concession pf the elec- tive franchise to tne freedmen, by the act of the President of the Lnited States, must have been extended to all colored men, wherever found, and so must have established a ‘change of suf- frage in the Northern, Middle and Western Mates, not lees than in the Southern and South- western. But while he considers it incompe- tent fer the General Government to extend the elective franchise in the several States, the sectrity of the freedmen im their liberty, prop- erty, and right to claim a return for labor, is regarded as a principle to be strictly observed. “The public interest,” he says, “will be best promot d, if the several States will provide adequate protection and remedies for the freed- men. Until this is in some way accomplished, there is not chance for the advantageous use of their labor; and the blame of ill-success will not restonthem. I know that sincere philan- thropy ie earnest for the immediate realization | Of ile remotest aims; but time is always an ele- ment in reform. Itis one of the greatest acts on record to have brought four millions of pee- ple into freedom. The career of free indus- try must be fairly opened to them; and then their future prosperity and condition must, after sll, reet mainly on themselyes. If they fail, and ©o perish away let us be careful that the failure shail not be attributable to any denial of justice. In all that relates to the destiny of the freedmen, we may not be too anx- joue to read the future; many instances wbich, from & speculative point of view, might raise aiarm, will quietly settle themselves.” To sum up in brief, the President's platform may be stated to be 1. The Union—a perpetual Government of the people. 2. The Federal Constitution—creating a Limited Government of defined powers, and involving @ protection of the rights of the States. 3. The States of the Union—Limited Gov. eruments of undefined powers, subordinate te the Federal Union. and pledged to the protec- tion of individual treedom. 4 Miltary Governments objectionable, be- cAuse indefinite asto time and involving the exercise of too great patronage and power. 5. The Constitutional amendment abolishing Slavery—a link to cement the Union beyond ali pow: rs of distuption. 6. The Elective Franchise—belongs to the States, and any attempt of the President to con- ferit would be an assumption of anconstitu- tional power. 7. The Freedmen must be protected in their rights. &. luternal Commerce—Should be free with- out State r strictions or levy ef tribute. 9. Bionopolies are odious and ought not to be tolerated. 16. The Corrency—Should be restored to a sound basis, and the payment of the National debt provided for. 11. The British interpretation of neutrality is unsound, and cannot be justified by the law of Bations. 12. Non-interference by us with the affairs of other nations, and reciprocal non-interference by Europe with American affairs. fy Settee D TELEGRAMS, A ican TeLecrarn Company, jards’ do: 1, December 6, 1385.

The ad- Judication should properly be had in the case ofthe chief of the rebellion to make ita pre- erdent for all time to come.

Mr. Sumner introduced a bill of last session to regulate commerce between the several States, which was referred to the committee on commerce, Mr. Sumner introduced a resolution instruct- ing the Secretary of the Treasury to inform the Senate whether there are any personeemployed in the Treasury Department who have not taken the outh required by law, also whether there are any persons employed there in offices not authorized by law. Mr. Johnson objected to the resolution and it went over under the rules. A committee of thirteen was eprointed to conteY with a committee from the Honse in re- Jation to appropriate action on the death of the President. Mr. Morgan introduced a bill to incorporate an international telegraph company for a tel- egraph line from New York to the West In- dies, which was referred tothe committee on commerce.

He had had a conversation with the ex- ecutor of the egtate, and the Illinois delega- tion, and had prepared a bill appropriating —— dollars for the relief of Mrs. Lincoin, pay- ing the salary in full, considering the cireum- anos under which her husband came to his death. A single objection postponed the considera- tion of the question at the present time. Mr. Stevens introduced a bill permitting wounded soldiers accepting employment un- der the Government to receive pensions at the same time. It was referred to the Committee on Inyalid Pensions. On motion of Mr. Eliot, a resolution was adopted, providing for a special committee of niné members, to which shall be referred that part of the President's message and all docu- Inents and papers relative to freedmen’s af- fairs. Mr. Hooper offered a resolution, providing for a Committee of one from each State, to con- sider and report a bill to reimburse the loyal States for expenditures incurred in putting down the rebellion. Objection being made the resolution lies over. Mr. Bingham proposed amendments to the Constitution: first, to annul that part probibi- ting export duties; second, to prohibit the pay- ment of the rebel debt; and third, to secure all persons to equal protection and the right of liberty and life. It was reterred to the Com- mittee on the Judiciary. Mr. Garfield offered a resolution, which was agreed to—yens 99, nays 58—granting the use of the hall, for a public meeting, to the American Freedmens Aid Commission, for the 13th of Januray, 1866. General Rosseau, of Kentucky, appeared and quulified. . Mr. Farnsworth offered a resolution deciar- ing, as the sense of the House, that good faith demands that the colored soldiers shall be ad- mitted to all the rights and privileges of citi- zens of the United States;and that it would be incompatible with our system of government to deny such rights to a large portion of the in- habitants who have shared both in the defence andthe pecuniary liabilities of the Govern- ment. Je moved the previous question, but it was not seconded—ayes 45, nays 63. . Mr. Wentworth introduced the bill referred to above, for the relief of Mrs. Mary Wincoin, and on his motion it was referred to the select Committee of one from each Stite, heretofore authorized to take action concerning the death of President Lincoln. ‘The House adjourned.
