The course of the National Intelligencer, in coming out for negro suffrage, creates some- what of a sensation throughout the country. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says: The National Intelligencer hitherto most bitterly opposed to the colored Face, astonished its readers on Friday morning by following in the wake of the Chicago Times Its editorial says that «there never can be stable peace in this country until the colored race are made entirely equal before the law in regard to civil rights. It 1s desirable that after long and injurious station the South should spontaneously do th: At the negro meeting at the fair building, the other night, Col. Hinton, of Kansas, thanked God that the Chicago Times, the Boston Post and the National Intelligencer had come out in favor of negro equality. IMPEACHMENT. The absurd idea of attempting an impeach- ment of the President is being discountenanced in all quarters by the Republican press, and even by the rabid Radical press. In addition to the evidences of this fact, already noted in the Star, we see now that the Radical New Bedtord Mercury and the leading Radical pa- pers of Boston are denouncing the idea. The New York Tribune and New York Times both oppose it, and the latter says of it and the pro. posed alternative: “As tor making a law suspending the Prest- dent during trial, we deem this equally im- probable. Such a precedent once established would render Fresidential elections, hereafter, little better than farees. There seems to be a general expectation that Congress will reas- semble in 8 state of exaltation merging on fren- zy. We think it will prove to be a mistake.” PrReoxal.—Colonel John Hay, Secretary of Legation at Paris, has sent in his resigna- tion. Major Wickham Hoffman, ot New Yor! son of Ogden Hoffman, has gone out as Assist. Ant Secretary of Legation, and it is thought he may suceeed Colonel Hay. ----Senator Doo- little bas arrived in New Orleans from Texas. +++-Mrs. Wood, the actress, has been hissed in London as “Miggs” in “Barnaby Rudge,” she not playing it according to the Great-Britain- ous idea of the part. ----A spirited drumati- zation of Miss Braddon’s novel “Wnatis the Mystery” has been made by a gentleman of this city, and it will shortly be produced with stage effect. ——$_$__. Tue Par or Treasvey CLERKS.—It is stated that during the next session of Congress the Secretary of the Treasury will cause to be introduced a bill for the creation of a higher grade of clerkship in his department. The bill contemplates an increase of the annual sal- aries of first class clerks to $1,400, and of mes- sengers and female clerks to $1,000. CEAsep To BE A Derository or PuBLic Moyays.—The First National Bank of Alex- andria, Va., bas voluntarily ceased to be a de- pository of public moneys, it having reesived permission to withdraw the securities held by the United States Treasurer in trust for the @eposits in its possession. ILLINo18 SENATORSHIP.—The Chicago Jour- nal says: “Senator Trumbull is generally an- derstood to be @ candidate for re-election. General John A. Logan’s friends intend to — his ciaims for the successorsbip, and overnor Oglesby’s friends are likewise active im bis behalf. The contest will therefore prob- ably be a triangular one, although it is not un- lixely from what we learn that the soldiers, who claim tbat they areentitied toa - tative in the Senate—there now being not one soldier in that entire body—will vor to Baite in favor of either one or the other of Mr. Trumbull’s competitors, in which event the contest would be Darrowed down to two.” WF To-day good housekeepers will be “minc- ing” tters on a scale, sound on the goose, known to be rich by their plumbs, and imitating careless printers by throwing every- thing into pie.

By United States and European News Asso- = ciation.) New Ortzans, Nov. 27.—A dispatch jast received from Fiake’s Bulletin, at Galveston. announces that General Sedgwick crossed the RioGrande on Thursday last, a brigade of U.S. troops, an@ occupied Mattamoras, as- suming that he did so to protect the interests of Americans, resident in that towa. The Movement crentes great excitement, as it is not known whether this is done with the sanc- tion of the United States Gov ernment or aot. ——— +200 —___ The President’s Ferthcoming Message. The following is sent from this city by a Washington correspondent who is apt to make pretty good guesses, at least, concerning what he writes: Wasurxoto%, Noy. 27.—More than usual interest is manifested in the forthcoming mes- |. sage of the President, and to allay this anxiety the newspaper correspondents have indulged im many speculations as to the measurts to be recommended by President Johnson, but save to the members of the Vabinet, it may be Sey asserted that the President has not communi- cated the points embraced in the message. Nevertheless enough has been made known throogh persons who have had recent confi- dential conversations with President Johnson to enable me to anticipate the character of the official document, and to state. with almost absolute certainty, a few of the measures that will be recommended to Uongress. First, then, its tone is (for the message is al- ready written) conciliatory, or more Rroperty itmay be said to be fair, yet firm, and tree from the defiant temper whichsome have sup- Possed Mr. Johnson would indulgein. Aad again, those who are under the impressien that the President is determined to carry out what is termed «my policy,” will be deceived, if they expect in the message propositions look- ing to the further prosecution of that pelicy, for Mr. Johnson does not admit that any part ofhis policy of restoring the Soutbern States remains to be done, so far as the Executive has power to act. He claims that all that remains unfurnished of his plan is the admission of legally elected loyal representatives, and work belongs solely te Congress. Since Mr. Johnson has occupied the presi- dential chair he has not deemed any further amendments to the constitution necessary; but in the forthcoming message, in view of tlie exi- gencies of the day, Mr. Johnson will recom- mend several matters as subjects to be em- braced in proposed amendments to that instru- ment. Among them may be mentioned the abolishment of the electoral college and the eleetion of President and -Vice-President di- rectly by the voters at large, without regard to State boundaries. Another amendment suggested, is theelection of United States Senator by the voters at large, in the several States, instead of electing them by the State Legislature, and still another amendment named, is the appointment of judges of the United States Supreme Court for A term of twelve years each—one third of the entire number to be appointed every four years. These amendments were suggested some ears agoin the United States Senate by Mr. Jounsos, whilst he was a member of that y. The amendment proposing the election of President by the voters at large, in the opinion of Mr. Johnson, will effectually regulate the question of suffrage within the States by ma- king 1t of imperative interest that each State include as many voters as possible, and thus, in proper time, the franchise will be extended to the colored people. There are some who believe the President will discuss the universal amnesty question and propose some action thereon by Congress, but those best advised understand that Mr. Johnson holds that, under the constitution. the Executive has sole power to grant amnesty and pardons, and therefore he will not propose action on that subject by Congress. A considerable por-ion of the message 1s de- voted to foreign affairs, and especially to the controversy with the British government about the Alabama claims, the so-called Mexican protectorate. and the action of our gevernment with reference to the failure of Napoleon to withdraw a pertion of his troops from Mexico duringtbis month Snchare some of the main features of the message that will be presented to Céngress.

THE DistricT aNp NEw YORK STEAMSHIP Comrany.—The public-spirited gentlemen in- terested in organizing a steamship line between the District cities and New York nave suc- ceeded in obtaining a satistactory charter from the State of New York, and thus every possible guarantee for the success of the undertaking is afforded. Very nearly the amount of stock requisite bas been subscribed: and as the credit of our business citizens for enterprise is at stake in the success of this affair, we cannot doubt that the deficiency will speedily be made up. Let it not be said that erery enterprise started in Washington to open business com- munications has been a failure. We trust that this project will not share the fate of all the previous enterprises that have fallen still-born.
