PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S VIEWS. President Johnson was yesterday visited by two more detegations—one of white and the other of colored men—to whom, in response to their addresses, he expressed, with much frankness and earnestness, his sentiments on matters at present engrossing the public mind. He deprecated strongly the policy and plans of the radical republican leaders, which, he said, were franght with great danger and tended to stirup additional hatred, strife and bloodshed, and opposed a useless agitation of the negro suffrage question and the project of forcing the Southern States, before being completely restored to the Union, to grant the freedmen the privilege of voting. To his white audi- tors he stated that he was not a candidate for any office, and ovuld therefore afford to act dtsinterestedly and ac- cording to his conscientious convietions of daty. EUROPE. ‘Tue steamship City of Washington, from Liverpool on the 2étn and Queenstown on the 25th ult., with European news one day later, arrived at this port at an early hour this morning. ‘The full report of the Emperor Napoleon's speech on the opening of the French Chambers, a synopsis of which appeared in our issue of yesterday morning, is given in our columns to-day. ‘The revolution fu Spain continued, and additional out- breakd ‘adil occurred at several places; but Madrid was reported to be still tranquil.

Mr. Sumner presented a petition in favor Of oxtonding equal civil and political rights to whites and blacks and a remonstrance against the proposed repre sentation basis constitutional amendment. The bill to punistt the kidnapping of negroes for the purpose of #-iting them in Cuba and other slaveholding regions was reported from the Judiciary Committees. That com- mitte also reported that the act of June, 1864, was sufficient, without further legislation to meet the requests contained in the momorials of the New York and Boston Chambers of Commerce for a suspension of the stay laws of States lately in rebellion a sufficient time to enable Northern creditors to take proveedings for the collection of their Southern debts. The Vreedmen’s Bureau Dill, as amended and passed by the House, was received back and referred to the Ju- diciary Committee, The bill to prevent, without the authorization of Congress, the reissuance of American Togisters to American vessels which were placed under foreign flags during the rebellion was passed, after some detate, by thirty-one yeas to twelve nays. It had pre- viously been passed by the House. Tho resolution to amend the constitution so as to forever prohibit payment ‘of any portion of the rebel war debt or any claim for eimane pated slaves was called up, and Mr. Wilson spoke ai length in advocacy of it. On the conclusion of his speech the resolution was referred to the Reconstruction Committee. The consideration of the representative bass constitutional amendment was then resumed, and Jir. Fessenden oceupied the remainder of the session in an address in ite support, (he House of Representatives the bill previously std from the Ways and Means Committee, defining ent of certain portions of the Internal Revenue et a providing, among other things, that taxes shall be paid on a legal tender instead of gold basis, and re- quiriag foreign and non-resident holders of American railroad bonds to pay taxes on their dividends, was taken up and passed, The Senate bills giving Mrs. Lia. coin the franking privilege for life, and making pro- vy son for securing to the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad its appropriation of public lands, were also passed. and the Senate resolution appropriating ten thou rind dollars to defray the expanses of the Reconstruction Committee was adopted.

In the Assembly a fow bills were passed, inchiding those appropriating twenty thousaad dollars for the Get- tysburg National Soldiers’ Cemotery, changing the name of our Free Academy to Free Colloge and confirming the act of our Common Council releasing certain real estate to the Church of St. James. A nutiiber of bills were re- ported from cominittees, among them those for the bet- ter protection of life on raiiroads and providing for sub- mitting to the people at the next November election the question of a State constitutional convention. Bills were introduced to create a Board of Control for this city, to increase the pay of the Metropolitan police, and to cedo to the national government jurisdiction over cer- tain lands near the West Bank for the quarantine pur- poses of this port. A resolution was adopted directing the State Comptroller to submit to the Legislature as soon ag poaaible a statement, so far as practicable, of the indebtedness of every city, town and county in the State, distinguishing between war and other obligations, and also the rate of taxation in cach, .

Telegrams from official quarters at the capital state that-Senor Mackenna ‘may not be regarded as belonging to the Chilean Legation."” The Grand Jury have found bills of indictment, upon which the parties, who have given bail for their appear- ance, will be brought to trial in due time. At the meeting of the Board of Education last evening, the special committee appointed to investigate the claim of Horatio P. Allen to a seat occupied by James B. Brady, reported that cither fraudulently or otherwise the return of James B, Brady as Commissioner from the Seventh district. was incorrect, and that investigation showed Horatio P. Allen to be the elected candidate. A resolu- tion authorizing Mr. Allon to occupy Mr. Brady’s seat was thereupon adopted. The Finance Committeo reported the distribution of the school moneys for the current year. ‘The estate of the late Madame Jumel, widow of Aaron Burr, is now before the courts, on an action brought by Mr. Nelson Chase, in conjunction with four of the nephews and nicces of the deceased,jto test the validity of a will alleged to have been made by the deceased awarding nearly her entire property to charitable insti tutions, ‘The case came up yesterday before Judge Clerke, in the chambers of the Supreme’Court, on a motion of plaintiffs’ counsel to settle the issues or ques- tions of fact arising on the pleadings.

Commissioner Osborn had before him yesterday a case in which Thomas Carden, an able seaman, charged a man named Eaton, chief mato of the ship John Bright, with having assaulted him on board that vessel, in Ovcto- ber last, with a knife, Tho evidenoe disclosing the fact that the allegod assault was committed in tho East river, and not upon the high seas, the Commissionor said ho had no jurisdiction in tho matter, and told Carden he must make his complaint at the Tombs. Elizabeth Redmond yesterday had a verdict rendered in her favor for fifteen hundred dollars damages in a suit brought by her, in the Supreme Court, against the Har- lem Railroad Company,’ for injuries received by being thrown from one of the small cars, owing to {t not being stopped long enough to enable her to got out. JudzeG.@, Barnard sat in the'Court of Oyer and Term!- nor yesterday. ‘The case of thb People against John O'Neill, for nn alloged felonious assault on a police officer, was called on; but in the absence of witnesses stated on all davit to be necessary for the defence, it was adjourned till to-day. Miss Kate Josephine Bateman, an actress now playing in this city, appeared in the Marine Court yesterday, in the rdle of defendant, Mr. Daly, duthor of the play of “Leah, the Forsaken,’ claiming four hundrod and ton dollars from her for literary services rendered.

In the Court of General Sessions yesterday Bernard Cummings, jointly indicted with Charles H. Smith (who was convicted on Tuesday), was tried and convicted of robbery in the first degree, Cummings having shown previous good character, the jury recommended him to merey, Both prisoners will be soatonced on Monday.

The two republics of St. Domingo and Hayti, the one controlled by the biacks in the west and by the descendants of the Spaniards in the east, have only been recognized by this govern- ment within the last four years. The republic of Hayti was recognized by President Lincoln and Congress in 1862. President Johnson has lately recognized St. Domingo as far as lies in his power; and Congress will doubtless do so on the recommendation of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and by the confirmation of the appointment of General Cagneau as our first Minister to that republic. The two republics, after many years of dis- sonsions, have of late given strong evidences of their stability. St. Domingo, after a long war with Spain, defeated that Power, and, ex- pelling her invading army from her fields, has established a government which, since the advent of General Baez, has suppressed one rebellion, and to which all the conflicting in- terest in the republic have given in their ad- herenee, In Hayti the evidences of like ata- biltty have teen shown by President Geffrerd’ in the suppression ofa: formidable rebellion Fand the restoration of and to. columns.

The full report of the speech of the Emperor Napoleon to the French Legis- lature does not present him in the bold reliof on the Mexican question in which he stood un- der the strong-light of our first brief despatoh upon the subject. But, considering his embai- rassing situation, he says as much, perhaps, a8 could be reasonably expected, though less than could be desired. We could hardly oxpect him to say that his fatal mistake in entering upon this Mexican enterprise, or, rathor, in re- solving to persevere in it, after having-boon ‘Iton of Jeff. Davis the great-American republi had collapsed. Mischief, too, might have re- ‘sulted in France from the confession that, the Mexican empire having proved a failure, ho had determined to withdraw and give it up. He had his own prestige as a sagacious ruler and as the arbiter of Europe, and he had the dignity and honor of France to consider, as well as the necessity of maintaining relations of peace with the United States. In pleading, however, his earnest desire for peace with us, he leads us fairly to the conclusion that, with a little further indulgence, he will gracefully abandon his impracticable Mexican scheme. He opened with one of those startling figures of speech for which the Bonapartes are so remarkable, that “in Mexico the government founded upon the will of the people is being consolidated.” “The will of the people.” A tub to the French whale. “The opposition, conquered. and dispersed, have no longer a chief,” and yet the twenty-five or thirty thou- sand foreign troops, more or less, of Maxim- ilian are kept busily employed from the centre to the extremities of his empire. The commerce of Mexico with France has been raised from twenty-one to seventy-seven millions, says Na- poleon; but he says nothing of the costs, which probably exceed five hundred millions of francs, On the main question he says:—“As I exprossed the hopo last year that our expedi- tion was approaching its termination, I am coming to an understanding with the Emperor Maximilian to fix the epoch for the recall of our troops before their return is cffectuated.” But this, of course, is to. be done “without compro- mising the French interests we have been: defending in that remote country.” What are those interests? Certain unpaid debts or a foothold for the Latin race? or a French balance of power on the continent? We cannot tell; but let us not be too exacting, or, looking at Rome, we might not be altogether satisfied with the assurance that “I am*coming to an understand- ing” with Maximilian. But there is something more, The Emperor Napoleon, rejoicing in the success of the Ameri- can Union, including the abolition of slavery,, offers up his “sincere wishes for the prosperity of the great American republic, and for the tiinterance of the amicable relations (between it and France) which will soon have hada century’s duration. The emotion produced in the United States by the presence of our troops on the soil of Mexico will be appeased by the frankness of our declarations. The American people will comprehend that our expedition, to which we invited them, was not opposed to their interests.” These declarations ere very, fino; but the American people will hardly be appeased short of some corresponding aots, which they will expect soon to follow. But what is to be done with Maximilian? In “coming to an understanding with him,” is Itto be understood that he too is to retire, or are the troops withdrawn by France from his support to be replaced with troops from Aus- tria and Belgium? To these and other ques- tions suggested this speech, of itself, affords no answer. But looking to the stubborn facts of his position, and at the ultimatum submitted by our Secretary of State in his late correspond- versation with. the Presidents of the two republics, laid partioular stress upon the rela- tions, commercially, geographically and other- wise, existing between the United States ang the island on which the two republics are located, characterizing the latter as one of the buttresses to the great fortress of this republic which civilization is to bulld up on this conti- nent, and pointed out how each country was to strengthen the others. The recognition of the two republics by the United States will un- doubtedly strengthen them, and, it is to be hoped, will in a great degree quiet the dissen- sions which have so long existed in St. Do- mingo. In view of the increased importance which the newly established relations between this country and St. Domingo and Hayti have given the latter, we publish this morning a full sketch of the history and topography of the two republics, together with a map showing their relative position to the United States. The Real Strength of the, Jacobin tion in Congress. { Since the ‘opening of Congress tho Jacobin faction, led by Mr. Thad Stevens, of Pennsylva- nia, has been steadily losing strength before the calm, conservative attitude of the President and the people. The first scheme broached by Mr. Stevens was the appointment of a Commit- tee on Reconstruction, or Jacobin Club, and this was secured by the full republican vote. (Many of the members who voted for this com- mittee profess to have done 80 because they ald not comprehend its real object, and aome of them have since declared that they sincerely regret having voted for this club.’ When Mr. Stevens proposed to confer unconditional suf- frage upon the negroes of the District of Colum- bia fifty-three republicans voted to make the negro suffrage conditional; and, although moat of them afterwards recorded themselves in favor of the bill, yet this eplit was not en- tirely healed. On the contrary, we find a few of the republicans going squarely against Mr. Stévens and the Jacobins on the vote for the new constitutional amendment. The Sumner clique in the Senate repudiated this amend- ment, andthe most ultra radicats in the House ‘joined with the conservatives in pro testing against it. The very bitter and violent tirade against the President with which Mr. Stevens wound up the debate upoa tho amendment was the outburst of a desperate and disappointed man, and although he succeeded in forcing his measure through the House he did not by any moans regain the prestige which he had lost during the debate, and he made more enemies than friends by his ill-natured and exasperating remarks. On Tuesday the Freedmen's Bureau act was before the House, having already been adopted by the Senate, and Mr. Stevens, still smarting from the secession of such adherents as Sumner and Raymond, offered a substitute which em- bodied his favorite theory, that the Southern States are no longer in existence, and that the whole South is mere conquered territory, which we may parcel out as we please. Upon this substitute he demanded the yeas and nays, Virginia, purpose, tho same. Jacobins, sustained his demand, and the yoas self deserted by the large majority of his party. Only thirty-seven votes wore cast for his pet ‘substitute, and one hundred and twenty-six against it Mr. Stevens, thus “turned out in the be convinced that his Mexican scheme cannot be consummated, we accopt,his specch as a proclamation of his purpose to abandon it, be- ginning with the withdrawal of his troops, and and their age stance and NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1860.~WITH SUPPLEMENT. vo THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS.
