BEB OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELB- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. ee ES {~The Fairy GRovzEn's.—Last presentation of +’ Orcle, or 5 ‘OCarolan's Dream” this eve- Bing. It will be givem entire, the protean farce farce, “An Hour in Seville.” Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams both appear in the first piece, wBich is one of the finest of their spectacular dramas. MerzznotT HaLi—Last night but one of the “Sphynx.” CaxTERBURY—Tho usual varied entertain. ment this evening. er with THE VETO. ‘We commend to the attention of our readers the able message from the President of the United States sent to the Senate yesterday, stating his objections to the act establishing a ‘ureau tor freedmen and refugees on account of its unconstitutionality, inexpediency and @xpensiveness, and because it isin violation of the rights and interests of eleven States of the Union net represented in the Congress ef the United States. No one can doubt his sincerity when he sa¥s: “I share with Congress the strongest @esire to secure to the freedmen the full en- joyment of their freedom and their property, and their entire independence and equality in Making contraets for their labor,” and we think the arguments he advances sustain his opinion that the bill contains provisions not warranted by the Constitution, and not well suited to ac- complish the end in view. The establishment Of military jurisdiction over a large portion of the country, and the creation of arbitrary tri- bunals from which there lies no appeal, no writ of error to any of the courts in which the Constitution of the United States vests exclu- sively the judicial power of the country, is not only objectionable for its unconstitutionality, 8880 forcibly stated by the President, but is totally at variance with the genius of American institutions. ‘The true friends of the colored people are Rot those who would keep them in a dependent condition—a state of peonage—merely trans- ferring them from the care of their masters to the more humane guardianship of the Govern- ment; but rather those who will help them to attain an independent condition, and teach them self-reliance by the shortest and most Practical methods. We fully agree with the President that the idea on which the slaves Were assisted to freedom was that on becoming free they would be a self-sustaining popula- tion, and that any legislation that shall imply that they are not expected to attain a self-sus- taining condition must have a tendency inju- Tious slike to their character and their prospects. ‘There is as much ground to cultivate in the South now as before the rebellion; there is more Work to be done there now than then, with fewer labcrers to do it; and the laws of supply and demand which govern laber and Tegulate wages elsewhere will do more for the emanci. pated siaves than any legislative enactments whatever. Oases of oppression, injustice or exaction sre properly subjects for the action of the civil courts, and may be safely left with them when legal equality is once firmly estab- lisbed, as it must and will be. F The President, in conclusion, takes the ground that while the members of Uongress represent certain States and districts, he representg the ‘whole people of the United States, and it is his duty to present the claims of such pertions of the people as are not represented in Congress, and strongly urges such action as will lead to am early and thorough restoration of the Union. 87 From Hudson Taylor, 334 Pennsylvania avenue, aad from J. Shillington, Odeen Build- ing, we have advance copies of Harper’s Maga- zine for March.

The feverishness about the halls of Congress to-day has surpassed anything witnessed there for some years. The expectation that an ex- citing debate would spring up on the question of the Presidential yeto of the Freedmen’s Bureau bill drew throngs to the Gapitol; and the halls overflowed into the lobbies and pas. sages after & sort reminding one of the old field days in Congress, when the Titans of debate took part in the contest. The ball was opened in the Senate something sooner than expected by the introduotion during the morning, by Senstor Wade, of.a resolution to amend the Constitution, making the President of the United States ineligible for Te-election. Mr. Wade proceeded in wery intemperate language to advocate his amend- ment, the whole purpose of its introduction being evidently to enable him to give early yent to bis bottled-up wrath against the President. By implication—almost in so many words he spoke of the President as no better than a rebel and traitor. He overshot the mark sensibly by the violence and paséion of his ut- terances, and not only got no sympathetic re- sponse from his friends in the galleries, but on sitting down, ready to be congratulated by his radieal brothers, no member of the Senate ad- He seemed, in fact, to have unmasked the radical batteries sooner than designed, and the cold shoulder given him by his party associates, showed that in their opinion he was doing infinite mischief to their side of the house. Upon the conclusion of the morning hour, Mr. Garrett Dayis took the floor upon the veto question, speaking in support of the Presi- dent's position, and was followed by Senator Trumbull in opposition. It is probable that others will follow in speeches, giving opportunity for absent Sena- tors to arrive bere in season to yote on the main question of passing the bill, the President's ob- jections to the contrary notwithstanding. The voting yesterday on the question to postpone— deemed @ test question—shows that as the Sen- ate now stands, it will be impossible to get the requisite \wo-thirds to pass it over the Presi- dent'shead, and when the absentees are re- turned its chances will be even worse. Two Republican Senators are absent, Sena- tor Foot, (ill at his lodgings,) who is counted upon to vote for the passage of the bill over the veto, and Sgmator Norton, of Minnesota, who will sustaif/the President, it is believed. Two Democratic Senators, Messrs, Wright, of New Jersey, and Reverdy Jobason, of Maryland, who are also absent, will vote to sustain the President. We hear to-day that the Republican camp is considerably divided upon the bill, the objections to it pointed out by the President striking the candid among them as being too serions for the bill to be sustained ag a party measure before the country, The House to-day was the scene of consid- erable excitement in consequence of the intro- duction of Mr. Stevens’ resolution refusing admissfon to rebel representation unless by consent of Congress. Mr. S. having called the Previous question on bis resoiation, to gag off debate, the opposition resorted to the usual tactics of dilatory motions to compel the with- drawal of the previous question. Up to the, time we lett the Houee hall this contest was sull going on, and promised to end in a test of physical endurance. SERENADE TO PRESIDENT JOHNSON AN! BECRETARY SEWARD. P it haying been announced in the evening pa- pers yesterday that Presideat Johnson wonld be serenaded, alarge crowd assembled at the Executive Mansion, and after music by Heald’s Band, cheers were given for the President. It was, however, ascertained that a mistake had been made as to the time for the serenade, and. that the President was very busily engaged. The crowd then moved to the residence of Secretary Seward, who. in response to calls and cheers, came forward and said: «Gentlemen, I thank you for your delightful entertainment. I shall ever feel gratefat for it. I congratulate you upon the return of peace and prosperity to the country. 1 now bid you & kind good night."’ LIBUT. GEN. GRANT. Lient, Gen.

WHITE HOUSE, The Cabinet was fully represented to-day and held quite a long session.
