EVENING STAR. | W. B. WALLACH, Editor and Proprietor. WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY +-MAY 23, 1966. S7 READING MATTER ON EVSRY PAGE. SRE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- @RAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. THE NATIONAL LIF & AT STAKE. The comprehensive review of public affairs, And frank exposition of the policy of the Ad- ministration with reference to the restoration of the Union, contained in the great speech of Mr. Seward, which we publish this afternoon, mark it as one of his best efforts. The clear and cogent reasoning by which this eminent statesman demonstrates the necessity for, and wisdom of, national reconciliatian, will not fail to convince every candid mind: and let us hope bis earnest appeal will arouse again thar devotios to the Union which brought us vic- tory in the late civil war, but which seems | now to be almost completely merged in mere party spirit. The immense importance of the issues before the country cannot be more forci- bly stated than in the words of Mr. Seward: “The President. Congress, statesmen, and parties are of no real account, in my ma- tion, when weighed against the natio: life. The national life lately hung on the issne of victory won in war: it now hangs on the issne of reconciliation in peace.” - There lies the whole question. Reconstruc- | tion is not wanted because the country, as con- | structed long since, has not been destroved. What then does the nation need! The Secre- tary of State answers that question as fol- lows: Lt needs reconciliation, and just now needs | motbing more. It needs, moreover, a very lit- Ue ofthis. It needs a reconciliation bet ween the Senators of the United States who are now | acting and those Senators who, beiug loyal } and qualified for membership of the Sena! i bave been already or may hereatter be ele by the people of the several States which we lately involved in the rebellion. It needs » conciliation of the same kind between the | members of the House of KR: sentatives who are now acting and loyal members already | elected or te be elected by the people in the | same before-mentioned Sta it o shis congressional recone: ha more.” The Pre<ident’s pos “Thbst so far and so ent thems tives ed | nts thus defined ! i! atitude | 1, they m Cong other States, and jus had been no rebellion.” There are many ciher points the speech. particu great progress ms interest in | the review of the | im the work of reconcilia- | arty lowing named indiy the tion and restorstion im the pest year, but want i of space torbids even a brief review of them j We must ce t our: es with recommend. | ing to onr readers a caret! perusal of this ad- | Mirable addres | PARDONED TO DAY | .

Kelley was convicted in the Southern Distric: of Florida on the charge of murder, and was sentenced to be hung, but asthe U.S. Marshal and many ether respectable citizins have as. sured the President that there were many mitigating circumstances in the case, he has commuted the sentence to imprisonment for the term of his natural life. ATTEMPT TO AssassINATE CouNT BiaMARK ‘The last steamer from Europe brings the par- ticulars of an attempt upon the hfe of Count Bismark. It appears that on the afternoon of May 7th, a well dressed man fired two shots from a revolver at the Count as he was return- img on foot along the Under der Linden, at Berlin, after an audience with the King. Neither shot took effect, and the Count grappfed with the man, who was immediaze- Jy arrested by the police and found to be the son of a Republican refugee. THE SERENADE to the President and the members of his Cabinet. by the National Union Ofab, will take place at © o'clock to-night. The starting point will be from the rooms of the club, 490 Path street, at 7% o’el@ck. RECONSTRUCTION IN THE DISTRICT.—Copies of eur weekly. containing the bill before Con- gress taking away the charters of the District cities. can be obtained at the Star counter. 7 The Richmond Republic was suspended Monday for want of paying patronage. ————_———— ee Frvanctat.—The news of the panic in Lon- don has produced a sympathetic etfect upon the New York market, though not to any se- Tious extent. Commercial Advertiser of yesterday-says: “Thi~ morning there has been @ very extensive changing of loans. Early in the morning, parties whose loans bad been called in were hurrying round the street, and — offering 7 per cent..at which rate they mostly found accommodation: so that, tnus iar. there has been no realization from colla- tefals. About | o'clock, Money was offered somew bat freely at 7 per cent.. and the indica- UonS appear to be that the market will close easier than it opened. Assistant Treasurer dan Dy has signitied bis willingness to waiveto the banks the requirement of ten days notiee upon témporary deposits: but as yet none of the banks have felt it necessary to fall back upen the Sub-Treasury. ki The stoek market suffers in sympathy with Use disturbance of loans. There is some ap- prehension that prices may be depressed by Tealizing: but otherwise there is considerable confidence in the value railroad securities, and the prebability is thatbany depression would be svon followed by an upward reaction.

DEATH OF SENATQB WRIGHT: A telegram received in -this city brings the intelligence ot the death of Senator Wright, of New Jersey. Mr. Wright was & representative in Congress from New Jersey from 1543 to 1847, and im 1853 wag elected a Senator in Congress for theterm end- ing in 1859. In 1963 he was're-elected to the Sevate for the term ending in 1869. Mr. Wright has been in ill-health for some time, and it will be remembered that he came to Washington at the risk of his life to vote in snpport of the President upon the veto of the Civil Rights bill. He was « man of energy and sound judg- ment, and the State of New Jersey has expe- rienced @ serious loss in bis death. NIN KEC THREATENING Bip atediged — FRENCH The speech of the Emperor Napoleon, on the 6th instant, in reply to an address of the Mayor of Auxerre, was 6f so significant a character as to create a considerable panic on thé B. ourse, and prices continued to decline at last advices, Among other things he said:—«I have a debt of gratitude to discharge towards Yonne. This department was the first to give me its suf. frages in Isd*. beeanse it knew, with the majority of the French people, that its interests were my interes dit 1 detested equally with them those treaties of 1815 which it ts now sought to make the sole basis of our foreign policy.” This warlike tone has excited apprelensions of trouble in England too, it appears. ee ee Eee SUPERINTENDENTS OF FREEDME : a POINTED.

THEGOLD PANIC in New York Sppears to be an echo of the commercial panic in Europe. It appears thata large number of five-twen- ties came from Europe by the last steamer to be realized upon, causing a suaden rige in gold.- The rse can be but temporary.

The Court decided that it was a mattter in the discretion of the Councils to construct sewers where they were peas = and that e (the Court) bad no right to interfere witn the action of the Councils uniess some corrupt motive is charged, and in this ease na such cbarge is made. Although the complainant has no personal interest in the sewer, (having a sewer tw the rear of bix property,) yet the Corporation bas aright to tax him, with oth. ers, for the cost of the sewer, fur the law did not provide that only those benetitted could be taxed. Phey conld not say that aman who bas no children shonld not be taxed for the support oftheschools. Itis not the individual property only that is to be considered, bat in a case like this the community, of which the cit- ivens are tenants in common, is Interested. 5 = Wallngsford arrested Armistead Me on the charge of the larceny ofa lot o: from Horace Clark, and he was committed to Rounds- n Barker recovered the clothing from a had jail for court by Justice Bo-well a pawnbroker, with whom pledged it .

Sergeant Gesstord, with Roundsman Barker, wentdown and arrested twelve of the parties complamed of, who, after a hearing before Justice Bos- well, were held to bail to keep the peace. Thy case originates from the tact that fish no coming up now as plentifully cs they did several weeks since. Mr. Crouch set apar: « portior of the wharf to be need tor landing coal. The fishermen disregarded these rega- lations, and persisted in landing the fish at any part of the wharf they saw fit, and hence the difficulty. The law gives the fishermen permission to use any portion of the fish whart until the Ist of July. pode i EE THE ALEXANDRIA Fire.—Ma)j. Gen. CC.
