The President's message will not be as lengthy as those of his predece-sors before the war. It will be peaceful in tone, and will not indicate anything looking like ap- Proaching serious complications with any foreign Powers, even in Mexico, The President will strongly ad- vocate the priuciples of the Monroe doctrine, but leave all questions referring to it to Congress. On reconstruction he will be positive in tone, taking ground that none of |e Southern States have been out of the ‘Union, He «ill then give his reasons for pursuing the corrse that he has in readjusting that soction, and with that drop the ‘tion without asking for instractions nor recommeudiug any course to Congress. He will show that the work of reorganization is rapidly progress- tng, endif Congress takes up the question avd throws any embarrassment in the way he will then be in a pos!- tion to piace the responsibility entirely upon that body. ‘This Gongress proposes to do, and the bail will probably be opened by Mr. Stevens to-morrow, in accordance with the instrnetion of the caucus, ‘The newspajer press of many of the principal cities will be supplied with copies of all the reports of the hens of depyriments in better season than heretofore, without a resort ‘o telegraphic facilities, and such ar- Tangemeats will Se made as will enable publishers also to lay the President's Message before their readers much ‘sogner after its transmission to Congress than at any similar period within the last four years, THK MEHC NG OP CONGRESS—HOTEL GOsstP, Every one is upon the qué vire to witness the birth of the Thirty-ninth Congrese, and it is evident that the gal- Yerira of the chambers are to be thronged long before meridian to morrow. If the discussions that are of hourly occurrence in the Tibbies of the hotels between members of the Senate sand House are at ail indicative of the spirit that is to ant- mate the Congress iniflating to-morrow, the session will Dea tarbid one, even among the radical groups that monopolize fvom and attention in all the popular re- sorts, Free expression of opinion, however harmoniots, doves not take place without betrayal of an unforgiving warmth whenever “the heresy of State rights’ is ‘touched upon, Cne determined member of Congress re- marked to-nglit, during one of these full communions, ‘that he looked tor no political purity in the late seceded States until a now generation should bo rearod to the control of ¥ovthern sufrages. This remark called out a wesigned expression of concurrence from the balance of ‘the caucus, that would have smote to the heart any member overhearing unable to take the test oath. ‘It bas been noticed in the arrival of Congressmen that ‘they are more generally accompanied by their families ‘Ahan thoy wore last year, THK PINST ACT OF THE RADICAL PROGRAMME. Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts will to-morrow in- ‘troduce the folowing bill, and press it to an carly vote, in the Senate. He considers that the condition of affaira in the South is such as to imperatively demand prompt section ia the premises:— As Act to maintain the freedom of the inhatitants in the States declared in insurrection and rebellion b Snes of the Presidens of the ist uf July, $633, 709,611 Be it onaciod, &c., That all laws, statutes, acts, ordi- panees, rule and regulations of any description whatso. vever heretofore in force or held valid in any of the States which were ed to be in insurrection and reboilion iby the proclamation of tho President of the Lat of July, 1862, Wherevy or wherein any inequality of civil aights “and. immunities among tho.

Jacob Barker, of New Orleans, arrived hero last night. He had interviews with Thaddens Stevens and Wm. D, Kelly, of Pennsylvania, which resulted in his being con- ‘vinced that there was not the slightest chance for his being admitted into this Congress, and has so telegraphed Governor Wells, of Louisiana. Ho proposes to return home immediately. It is doubtful, however, if the Southern members of Congress will recognize that those Jens radical Pounsy lvanians Congress, a8 Mr. Barker feems to infor by his acti REPUBLICAN ENDORSEMENT OF Mit.

A desperate effort is being made by Raymond and his nds to secure for him the chairmanship of the Com- mittee of Ways and Means. The entire influence of the Weed-Raymond tirm is concentrated in that direction. It 18 said to-day that Raymond assented to Stevens’ radi- cal programme in regard to reconstruction for the pur- pose of gaining strength for that position; but from present indications these efforts will be fruitless. It is said that Stevens insisted upon his own 48 & condition of his support of Mr, THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR. Mr. Harlan, Secretary of the Interior, has commenced his preparations to secure his election to the United States Senate, This indicates that he intends to leave the Cabinet at no distant day. It has been the impres- sion here for some time past that Mr. Harlan is the only member of the present Cabinet not in full accord with the President. A. W. Randall, of Wisconsin, is mentioned as his probable successor, MRS. WIRZ DENIES ATTEMPTING TO POISON HER HUSBAND, Mr, Schade, the counsel of the late Captain Wirs, has Just received an affidavit from Mrs, Wirz, in due legal form, indignantly denying as altogether false the story that she attempted to convey poison into the month of her husband while kissing him, and that Wirz was pre- vented from swallowing the drug by the prompt inter- vention ef General Baker. Frequent opportunities oc- curred in her private interviews with her husband for the perpetration of such a crime had she been #o wicked as to meditate it, DECREASE OF FRONTIER SMUGGLING. Collectors on the frontier report that smugglers who have been so active are becoming alarmed at the pre- parations made to apprehend them and that the busi- nesss is falling off. Merchants along the line, both in the States and Canada, are shutting up their shops and suspending operations. Since the revenue officers inau- gurated the system of closely examining the clothing ot females wio cross the frontier that class of travel is falling of. Not one woman crosses the St. Lawrence now where twenty did before. MUTILATED CURRENCY AND CERTIFICATES OF IN- DEBTEDNESS. Last week two hundred and seventy-five thousand and four hundred dollars of mutilated currency were passed into the Treasury, and nine hundred and fifty-one thou- sand eight hundred and-eighty dollars in certificates of indebtedness were redeemed. REVISION OF CLATMS. During the month of November the second Comptroller of the Treasury revised two thousand seven hundred and seventy-three prize cmims and six thousand four hun- dred and ninety-six claims of heirs of deceased soldiers, INTERESTING TO SOLDIERS. The second Comptroller bas decided that in the cass of a soldier detailed as a clerk in the War Department, pay- ment of bounty maturing while on such service cannot be made, as extra pay is received for detached duty of this kind. It is also decided under the same authority that a soldier who enlisted in the Veteran Reserve corps under provisions of General Order No. 191, of June 25, 1864, 1s not entitled to any instal- ment of bounty maturing while serving as a clerk in any department, but If discharged with all the .aen of his regiment because the government no longer requires the service of their entire term of enlistment, he main- tains the same footing and rights in regard to bounty claims as pertain to the balatice of the membors of the same regiment, ‘THE VETERAN RYSERVE CORPS. It was authoritatively stated on Saturday that twenty- eight officers of the Veteran Reserve corps, enumerated in an ordor issued Friday directing one hundred and forty- nine of the officers of the above orgunization to report forthwith by letter from their respective places of resl- dence, have been detailed for duty in the Freedmen’s Bureau. In addition to the former there is a considerable number who expect to be similarly disposed of. Somo pears ar left for their homes to-day. a PERSONAL. Among the latest arrivals are Judge Cowan, of New York; Sperry, of Connecticut, and Senator Lane, of Tndiaua, Our Washington Correspo: Wasuinctox, Dec. 2, 1865. The tone manifested by the ropublican members of Congress to-day shows a disposition to barmonize and yield more to the views of the President. There is also @ feeling ameng them that Mr. Johnson will moderate ius views as far as possible for the purpose of harmontiz- ing. it is given out that he will take this course for the Purpose of destroying the power of the radicals and taking from them their thunder. It 1% not, however, claimed that he will abandon any of the great principles involved in his policy. Those high in authority give it as their opinion that there will be no serious conflict between him and the radical faction, But it seems impossible to prevent it unless the radicals abandon the extreme po- suon held yesterday. The President cannot coincide with them without abandoning every fundamental prin- ciple involved in his reorganization policy, unless the radicals very materiolly change their tone, Those whe pr.dict that there will be harmony between the Presi- dent and Congress give it as their opinion that none of the Southern members will be admitted into Congress, bat that measures will be adopted providing for their admission at some future day. Unless the Pre- sident vcry materially changes his views it is imposatble to see how this can be doue without either a conflict be- tween the Executive and Congress or the former abandoning bis position. ‘THE DIFFICULTIES OF THR PRESIDENT’ POSITION, It is very evident that the recent despatches of the President to his Provisional Governors in the South are im'sunderstood, Those despatches are not to be inter- preted as indicating a want of confidence in the Southern people ; nor are they prompted by a feeling that the South has not manifested the right spirit. On the contrary, the President bas full confidence that the Phd bdo pd exists; but ho iggeear yy yh apron tendency of ons oF Congress, and he is desirous that the “Soult shall put itself in @ position that will materially assist him in the North, while com! with the extreme measures of both ioe This js the true interpretation of the des. asking the Southern people to pursu certain course in their conventions and Lagisiatures. The strength of the President and the result of the contest, if there is a contest between him and the radicals in Con- gress, depend in a great measure upon the tone of the Southern poople, If the latter manifest a ‘ieposition to be dictatorial or exhibit braggadocio, pty 4 i render it impossible for the President to rough his consiruction policy and will meen thet the treme of tho party, It is admitted ba that evei thing looked favorable for the of —- last pov on! up to the ti &@ momber of that delegation, asking admission, poten Mr. Kelly, from Philadelphia, ee ee oe ir petition tor ree Mr. Johnao ‘owe of the South, fe hecan stand’ By Serra rotain the ee of the great bulk of the Sontiern there Ro doubt Congress. "oat i “he tone wot ‘Se Sonne im the disposition manifested by the public mn there, is such that the President, in order to stand by and protect them against extreme measures of the radical faction in ‘congress, is obliged to cut loose from his Northern base, he at once becomes Tylerized and is powerless to ald the South in readjust ing that section. It is therefore inyportant that the Southern people, in their conventions, Legislatures and the applicatious of members for admission to pny should. exhibit a disposition that will enable the Presi dent to endorse their course without outraging the real Union sentiment at the North. This isan important point, This is the true explanation of the despatches of the President to the Provisional Governors indicating that their position would be strengthened by adopting such and sich measures. It is not because ho ts dis- gusted or dissatisfied with them, but ft 1s the movement of a general who selects lila position to meet the enemy and {ortifies it, making itas impregnable as possible berore tho battle commences.

THE MAYORALTY. eee Visit to the Various Head- quarters Opinions of the People on the Dif- ferent Candidates. WITHDRAWAL OF FARMER. LIST OF THE POLLING PLACES. &, &, &ec. In all the public places of resort throughout the city yesterday the one absorbing topic of conversation was the approaching election. It being Sunday, however, ‘most of the betting was dispensed with, save in a few of the sporting houses, where the natural desire to discuss and canvass the merits of the various candidates got the better of all higher and holier feelings. In many of the latter speculation was exceedingly rife. In all Marshall 0. Roberts was the name most run on. Bets were offered on Roberts against Hoffman, Hecker, and even Gunther; but few were found desirous of risking much money. As much as one hundred to twenty and in some cases ten was offered on the favorite; but all were nervous of accept- ing even these fearful odds, A number of persons who had previously backed Hoffman and others seemed very desirous of hedging. Roberta’ especial backers did not show themselves at all, belonging, as they do, to the “better cluss,”” As some witty fellow said, “they thought better to abstain from betting on the Sabbath.’ The opinions expressed on the merits and chances of the candidates were many and vartous. Some thought, and seemed to have strong reasons for thinking, that Gunther would retiro from the fleld; while others, agreeing with the advisability of such a measure, asserted he would not, and that, “bad as he was, he would poll @ larger number of votes than Hocker.” Indeed, all thought it seemed as if “Fernandy Wud’s man was nowhere.”’ There were some places where it seemed to be thought sacrilege to mention any other name but Roberts’, and {f the excitement continues much longer “By Ro- berts”’ as an oath will assuredly be introduced. The up town hotels presented a striking contrast to what they have been on the occurrence of previous elections. No crowds of infatuated and self-constituted orators thronged the halls, nor did there seem to be any excitement what- evor about the matter, as all looked upon it as settled. In many of the barrooms small knots were collected, at times devoting their attention to the discussion of “whiskey skins,” which they assuredly appreciated, and again to the no less appreciated topic. One individual entering a certain cetablishment in quest of some one meee would “stand, ”’ exclaimed disconsolately, in Cole. everywhere, but not mop to drink,” and Te ne ei ep down town resorts all was different. Opinions ee freely offered, and discussions entered into which of cou and were, we a rial laa, while the lager beer gardens were, as usually the case, crammed with the less tive but as loquacious, Germans, In these ai others besides Roberts received a show, and, fadring. from the conversation, Hoffman and the other didates were more favored than the up town favorite “Ids me U gece Hecker's the mau.

Proposed Expulsion of the Secessionists. Governor Fenton and the Mu- nicipal Removals. Cornell and Wood in the State Senate. ke. &e, &. Our Albany Correspondence. Atnany, Dec, 2, 1865. The municipal election in New York city excites the greatest interest of any public topic, It has become the subject of active consideration throughout the State, and T learn that this feeling is shared alike by President Johnson at Washington and Governor Fenton here in Albany. Seward, Fenton, Morgan, Weed, Selden, Alvord, Folger, Tremaine, Seasions—all the leaders and the sey- eral factions of the Union party, including the Loyal Leagues—are intensely enlisted. The greatest astonish ment prevails in regard to the extraordinary tactics of Greeley and the 7ribima, and the indignation which 1 felt by the Union men throughout the State is only held in check by the intimations that Greeley’s course is really a stratagem, well understood by the Unionists in New York. While this explanation is accepted, the quali- fication is emphatically added that if the result shows differently the responsibility of the Tribune aud Gree- ley's complicity with Ben Wood and Fernando will call forth a yelt of execration should Marshall 0. Roberts be defeated. NATIONAL IMPORTANCE OF THE NEW YORK CITY RLXCTIONS, The contest going on between Roberts and his antago. nists is regarded as the last struggle in the great rebel- lion, People returning from Washington say that the sympathies of Union men from all quarters of the coun try have been aroused by the fight, and that the ad. ministration regards it as of the most vital national im portance. The great commercial capital of the country should always be in a condition to give expression to loyal sentiments and manifest an unqualified support of the govornment. It is a very extraordinary phenomenon that the city of New York should present the political aspect that itdocs. The fact is unanimously accepted that the great mass of the people of that city are as loyal, as patriotic, and have rendered as much service to the Union, as any other community. But that the vast pat ronage of the local or Corporation government should be conceded to Wood, Gunther and the secessionists, and ‘that the artificial expression of opinion and the influence exercised through that patronage should be tolerated, excites just now the most intense feeling. Active coun. sel has at last been taken on this subject, and the seces- sionists im the New York Corporation, I can assure you, will at tast be thoronghly besieged. The city election has fairly opened up the campaign. It will be con- tinned with every appliance and influence, from Wash- ington and Albany, as well as at New York. It is fully realized that more mischievous influence is now exer- cised by the New York city secessionists at the South, and that more obstruction is made in that city to the work of restoration and the creation of a proper public sentiment at the South than arises from any other source. The nuisance will be abuted at the earliest moment. Whatever bearing the city canvass may have, the plans for cleaning eat the sources of this evil are most thorough, and, ui the circume tances, not to be evaded. BEN WOOD AND STREET COMMISSIONER CORNELL IN THE STATE SENATE. The election of Bon Wood to the State Senate has, more than any other fact, contered the attention of the people of the State upon’ the affairs of the metropolis, New York city riots, the hotel burning atrocitics, the 8t. Albans raid, the lake piracies, the Blackburn and Jake Thompeon proceedings on the borders of this State, all appear to Mo be Tovived mad. discuvsed with a fecling which the people of the interior counties entertain to fanaticism. I think also that certain leading democratic Influences are instigating this revival of the recollection of tast year's conspiracies. The proposition for the ex- pasion of Wood by resolution of the Senate, and the institution of a tet oath for his benefit, I think came from the same source. It would appear probable, how - ever, that such ideas are entertained by the dominant party, and that they will be mude a staple of debate to enliven the approaching session of the Legislature, ‘The foriorn mission of Cornell to the State Senate for the protection and cxtension of his term of office as Street Commissioner has become a subject of public scandal in State, If he shall escape resolutions of investi oo and consequent extirpation it will not be throug! want of diligence on the part of his friends in the eo side organizations; and I am informed that the Citizens’ Association have reserved their crowning campaign against Senator Cornell, of the Street Department, GOVERNOR FENTON AND THM MUNICIPAL CILARGKS, A vast amount of pressure, both by Ictter and ather- wise, has been it to bear upon Governor Feuton in w the municipal charges pending before bin met the Bor. eek city ots He pee treated ne subject in a with great fau conceded the credit of tavtng aia ‘tis famtes and mares. hho ere dh Tho second batch of charges are not dixposed of yi It appears that the Governee ad oes to sma 2 hearing of them a machine for isan or electioneering purposes, hg ig, BY due regard for (he interests of New ‘ork city. He hus eg rpg a ey ‘ot; bat he oper ss his views in 0 reat disorders which haye arisen and caured #0 bat. abuses in the erty mt. Hix decision will not probahl be rendered until he sends in bix message to the Legixi it idea has been elicited by the discussions of the charter election in councction with these investigations before the Governor. It is that the office of Moyor of New York is really of A amg a thon that the Comptroller has all . and must in or oe fature "gation be 6 tare. A very imj rf 4 in that Mayor is State constitat and cannot well be other than lective. The € —a special charter Officer—can be abolished or chat is powers ex- tended, or, in tact, di of at the will of the Lagisia- tiom. This fact oc- ture withont infringing the constit casion; on as to the most expedient Pov ig ogc for the city, #0 as to secessioni ‘the Corporation offices, It in ‘rare that po tiny of the offices in the Comptrolier's office, all of those under the Mayor, and more than half of the county offices and Corporation riments are held by open, secessionists, under Gunther and the Woods. PLANS OF MUNICIVAL REFORM LEGIBLATION. cue pias reves Proposes to leave the Mayor, whether Gun. ther, Hoffman, Ege or, as = wax expected, just where le might place him, and nothing to te, rom this current election. Sach is even still tought to be the secret 7ribune plon, the Comp- troller's office to be made tbe baris of legisiation, and the consolidation of still farther power in that office to be based upon the appointin nt of & new incumbent by the Governor, A second ph whieh is . red by Weed, among others, is to carry nd ‘make that position the centre for a new charter, whieh would con- centrate power and gradually carry over tie people to the Union party. The election just at band wili deter. mino the practicability of this plan by the election of Roberts, Should he be defeated it prevents the very sary permanen: divorce be- and the Tammany men, who will then have elected Hoffman and forced toe Union int rommon resouree—the en of Bren nan out of office and the further dation of power in a grand fiscal centre—a board of commissioners of the city or metropolis, Even regardless of any bearing of the bic sentiment about the character of the New York city secessionists in the Corporation offices, the condition of the Tat Oifiee, aud the necessity for Jogislation in regard to it, will bring the entre Finance Department under tire The possible removal of Hoffman the election from the criminal wench is also diveuseed as an opening for very neces operations for the reformation o. the criminal jurisdiction of the city, especially in regard to the Police and ward courts, ‘THE NEW METROPOLITAN CHARTEY. What is here stated in regard to the Governor's action on the municipal cases should be understood ly in ree concerned in the projects of a now city charter, It t not possible to say that there will be removals or that there will bo only an executive redommentation about the matter to the Legislature. The conclosive in. timations, however, are that if Hollman is clectet rg the Finance ment will be made the head of pose, banee upon sion Controlling everything, from the raising of the city taxes to the final audit of lieie disburs mont, contd be legally organized, without Interfering with the Mayor or ahonehing any but unvecosary offers, The mrtnter pat triake will probably be resumed in some form tho week attee nex, Aunasy, Deo, 8, 1366... Ta the case of Bramaghim, indicted for the murder of Phillips, the Attorney General gave it as his opinion that the defence had established their plea of justifiable hom- cide, and Judge Ingalls therefore Instructed the jury to tind a verdict of not guilty, In the case of Bridget McCarthy, indicted for the mur- der of her husband by poison, which was on trial last week in Troy, the jury on Saturday might returned a ver- dict of not guilty There was another case of murder in Herkimer county, at Jacksonburg, near Little Falls, on Friday night. The victim was a German named Stoddard, aged eighty yeare. Two men, named Smith and Palmer, were arrested and identified by Stoddard, shortly before his death, as bis- dosailauts. MAILS FOR EUROPE.
