Various companies ap- peared im parade, and several target excursions took Place, Dinner was given to the city’s wards in the char- ftable institutions, and, although the weather was very wet and disagreeable, many enjoyed drives over the va- rious roads and other outdoor exercises, In the other cittes of the Union the day was also appropriately cole.

The President’s Forthcoming Message—A Compromise on Negro Suffrage. The President's annual message to Congress, we understand, is completed, and that in refer- ence to the great issue of Southern reconstruc- tion it will probably open the door to a re- conelliation with the two houses and a com- promise on negro suffrage. From the letter of ® Washington correspondent which we publish to-day it would appear that the compromise which the message will probably suggest will be upon the basis of that qualified negro sut- frage which Mr. Johnson proposed in the sum- mer of 1865 to his Provisional Governor Sharkey, of Mississippi—that is, a reading and writing qualification, or a property qualifioa. tion of two hundred and fifty dollars, asin New York. It further appears from this Ws a | letter that as Congress has rejected the Presi. dent’s plan of Southern restoration, andias the | President has defeated the ratification of the constitutional amendment of Congress, the two departments “may cry quits” and proceed to promise suggested, or something like it. But what are the facts in regard to the pend- ing constitutional amendment? It was made the test question in all the recent electionay’ from the Atlantic across the continent to the Pacific Ocean, and in all the States, from Maine to Oregon, the conditions thus Proposed to the South have been most emphatically endorsed as the ultimatum of the North. A large majority of the States and a vast majority of their people have thus given their approval and their instructions to Congress to adhere to the amendment. Nor is it necessary, though very desirable, that there should be a perfect accord between the Presi- dent and Congress in this matter, inasmuch as the jurisdiction over the subject belongs abso- lutely to Congress. It is the duty of the Presi- dent to submit his recommendations to the two houses upon this as upon other questions, but Congress may adopt, modify or reject his sug- gestions, as it has done from the beginning of the government. We are gratified, however, tbat, from the ad- vices before us, we may proclaim ft as a fact that the President has given up his peculiar policy of restoration tried before and rejected by the Northern people in these Jate elections. Thisis an important step gained towards an early and satisfactory adjustment. Another step will bring the Executive to a harmonious understanding, and another to an active co- operation with Congress. Nor do we see, in Mr. Johnson’s presént ideas of a compromise, so far as they are foreshadowed, anything like an “irrepressible conflict” with the pending amendment, except upon the Executive theory ‘hat the excluded States, as they stand, are én- titled to's voice in the ratification. Nothing, we think, could be fairer than the compromise of the amendment touching negro suffrage, in proposing to leave to each State to choose for itself whether its. black population shall be totally excluded from the ballot box, at the price of their total exclusion from representa- tion in Congress, or whether they shall be par- tially or wholly admitted to suffrage and cepre- sentation. The shortest plan for a speedy and compre- hensive settlement, including the sacred obliga- tions of the national debt, the absolute repu- diation of all rebel debts and all claims for emancipated slaves, the exclusion of a certain class of prominent rebels from federal offices hereatter till absolved by a two-thirds vote of Congress, and the regulation of representation by suffrage, is the plan of the amendment, and its ratification by three-fourths of the States now constituting the government of the United States. If we admit the right of the excluded States to a voice in the ratification, we must admit their right to resume their vacated seats in Congress just as they are, and that all the legislation of Congress in their absenco, since they laid down their arms as a hostile con- federacy, is null and void. We must admit that Congress has no right to impose upon those States any terms of restoration, or we must hold that they have no right to a voice in the government, in view of their late rebellion, until recognized by Congress. From this last conclusion, we contend, thore is‘no escape, unless we can reduce the late gigantic Southern armed conspiracy and all its bloody battles to the legal standard of a series of election riots, and nothing more. We havo sufficiently advanced in this controversy, however, under the lights of these recent elections, to comprehend this question of restoration as it really stands, The whole jurisdiction over the subject is with Congress ; ond in the rejection by Congress of the Presi- dent’s provisional work the field of reconstruc- tion is reopened to the beginning. We are glad to be assured that Mr. Johnson has abandonéd his late peculiar policy. It was a policy ot generosity to and confidence in the South, which met with no corresponding confidence in that quarter, and much less in the North. Now, if be has concluded in his message, after submitting his recommendations, to leave the whole matter in the hands of Congress, as we presume he has done, we shall soon have a settlement, and the excluded States will be brought to their sober senses in the harmonious co-operation of President and Congress. Tae Atiaxtic Yacnt Ract,—One of our cop- perhead contemporaries, that has been for some time swashing through “the elbows of the Min- cio, formed by the sympathies of youth,” under- takes to condemn the great Atlantic yacht race in December because some of the owners may not go in their yachts. We are informed that at least elght—possibly ten—members of the New York Yacht Club will sail in the yachts, and under these circumstances we should like to have our contemporary explain how the race can be termed “a mercantile affair,” or “a mere scramble for money.” Whother the own- ers go or not is a mfatter for them to decide; but as the race has been endorsed by our yacht olub, as the commodore of the club is to act as judge, and as eight or ten prominent gentlemen, members of the club, are to sail in the yachts, we bog leave to inform our contemporary that it is quite time to sail upon another tack and cease those groundless slurs and malialons insinpaons papers throughout the. country, in which it appeared duly credited to the spurious asso- United States Senater for North Carolina— ‘The Rebellious Spirit of the South. North Carolina has just supplied us with a specimen of the sort of “loyalty” that pervades the South, by the election of Judge M. E Manly, late of the Supreme Court of that State, to the office of United States Senator. Judge Manly was an original and malignant traitor. He used his high position on the bench of the Appellate Court of the State, the highest judi- cial tribunal, to foster the progress of secce- sion and to take North Carolioa over to the rebel government, After the war had com- menced he distinguished himself as the oon- venieat tool of Jeff Davis, deciding in the numerous cases that came before his court, in- volving the legality of the arbitrary acts of the Confederate government, invariably in favor of his master, Judge Pierson,.the Chief. Jus- tice of the Supreme Court, an\ upright Judge and at heart e Union man, stood for the most part alone in his resistance to the usurpations of the Jeff Davis edmfhistration, Judge Manly being always against him, and in a majority of We cannot tell what the Secretary of the Treasury proposes to recommend. There are ®& great many rumors and speculations in the press about that, some of which evidently emanate from the national banks aad other powerful interests, expressing what:they wish rather than what they know. i . But if we are not scourately informed of what he will recommend, we know what he ought to recommend and what Congress ought todo. It is this: There abould’be a reduction of the revenue to an amount sufficient only for the economical administration of the govern- ment and for a moderate fixed sinking fund to liquidate the national debt withina reasonable time. Our present enormous revenue of five hundred millions or upwards is far too large in times of peace; it becomes, in fact, great demoralizing corruption fund at Washington. Three hundred millions ought to be sufficient to pay the interest on the debt, the ordinary expenses of the government, and for a sinking fund, which, properly applied, would extinguish the debt in thirty years, A reduction of nearly half our taxes might safely be made. But in making this reduction Congress ought to take care to relieve the burdens on industry and the productive powers of the country. Above all, the mass of producers and consumers should not be burdened with taxes which operate for the benefit especially of # certain class of manwfacturers and monopolists, Let the re- duction be made where the burden is most felt. Then the whole of the interest bearing debt should be consolidated in one form, say in five per cent console at long date. This would simplify it, reduce the cost of management and give to the people of our owa country safo stocks for investment. Less of it would be held abroad at this reduced rate of interest, and it would create a powertul conservative class at home interested in the preservation of the government. There would be little diffi- culty in transfprring the six and seven per cent bonds, which have a limited time to run, into long date five per cent consols, But this should all be dohe by the government itself, and not through great jobs to Jay Cooke & Oo, or other private parties, A law oould be framed to reduce the interest, which would at the same tims do justice both to the public creditors and to the taxpaying people. There should be a sinking fund established and held inviolable for the extinguishment of the entire debt in thirty years or so. That, probably, would be within as short a period as the steady and bealthy financial and commer- cial interests of the country would justify this change inso much capitalized wealth. The operation of extinguishing or buying up the debt through commissioners or a burean could he conducted so steadily and quietly that no great derangement of value would follow. The man who would change his six per cent bonds, run- ning ten years, for five per cent consols, running thirty years, has the full walue of the longer period, though the government may be in the market to buy at all times, The interest on the debt is too high every way—too high in proportion to what the debt was purchased at, too high for such good securities and too high to keep the debt at home, where it ought to be kept. One of the first things that should be done is to have a uniform legal tender currency, and no other. The so-called national banks are a vast private monopoly, dangerous in every way and a heavy drain upon the industry of the nation. Their circulation of three hundred millions is a free gift to private rich corpora- tions. They pay nothing for it,. They are taking twenty to twenty-five millions a year out of this privilege, which ought to belong to the government and people. It is the grentest fraud ever perpetrated on @ country. If the government would substitute legal tenders, which is a much safer and mote de- sirable money, for the national bank currency, it would save this twonty to twenty-five mil- lions a year. All it would have todo in ac- complishing this would be to buy up the threo hundred millions of interest bearing bonds now deposited as security for national bank notes, by an issue of non-interest bearing legal tenders to the same amount, Last of all, but not least, let there be no ruinous attempts made to injudiciously con- tract the currency. The cry of “on to specio payments” by the hard money theorists and speculators is more absurd and dangerous than the “on to Richmond” clamor of the politicians in the early part of the war. We are doing well enough, and shall continue to do so, if the currency be not meddled with. We are health- fully approximating a gold basis, The country will grow up to that in the course of a few years and as soon as it will be safe to do so. Nobody but the bondholders and the very rich could be benefited by attempting to force specie payments; all the rest of the community would suffer, The bistory of England under a similar state of things ought to warn and guide us; for that country went through the most terrible revulsions and sufferings in the insane efforts to force specie payments. We hope, therefore, that Mr. McOulloch and Con- gress will have sefse enough to take these facta and views into consideration and give us 8 sound and permanent system of currency and national finance. Cuzap Enrenreme of a Sruntovs News Assocation.—The lately dismissed agent of the New York Associated Press bas been en- deavoring to establish a peddling news asso- ciation for the purpose of furnishing bogus end second hand information to the country news pepers Tt gave on the 28th instant an exam- ple of its mode of furnishing cheap oable | teiovcQns by stealiga bodily (rom the Hangs obased and the active rebellion was subdued, Judge Manly continued a bitter and unyield- ing traitor. Asa member of the Reconstruc- tion Convention held at Raleigh in November, 1865, he opposed the act declaring the ordi- mance of secession passed in 1861 nuli and void in the past as In the future, and struggled against the repudiation of the rebel debt. The act reorganizing the courts of the State was in- troduced in order to get rid of this malignant traitor and others who disgraced the bench of the State, and whose term of office, being for life, could not be otherwise brought to a close. In the convention he succeeded, with the aid of Judge Howard, of the Superior Court, in at first defeating the proposition to repudiate the rebel debt; but a telegram from President Johnson subsequently induced the convention to reconsider its action and to pass the ordinance. of repudiation over the heads of the secessionists. The selection of such an unsubdued rebel for United States Senator proves how futile it is to hope for any restoration policy based upon a healthy sentiment of loyalty at the South. North Carolina has been generally admitted to be less impregnated with secession than any other State of the late confederacy. A large share of her people professed to remain at heart true to the Union, although compelled to give an outward adhesion to the rebel govern- ment, Many of her citizens joined the Union army and fought well in the Union cause. The administration of Jeff Davis found in North Carolina its most troublesome enemies; and as soon as the prograss of the federal army re- claimed that State to the Union the secession sentiment ‘hid its head, and the community seemed upon the surtace to be earnest in its loyalty. The action of the North Carolina Legislature is therefore full of significance. It shows that ‘the spirit of the rebellion is not dead, and that it has only laid aside its arms to resort to more covert but not less dangerous means to compass the destruction of the Union. It evinces a proud and stubborn determination to insuit and defy the loyal States by forcing into Congress. such unwashed traitors as this rebel Judge. It is time for Congress to adopt such a decisive policy aa the state of the coun- try warrants, and to put down in reality the rebollion that still stalks abroad, although it may for the present keep its revolver and its bowie knife in its pocket. Tx Intse News sy THs Casix.—It is evident from the exceedingly scanty news concerning the state of affairs in Ireland which reaches us by the cable that we may not expect much in- telligence through that channel as to the pro- gress of the Fenian insurrection. If there has been a rising anywhere in Ireland, as indicated in the special despatch to the Hxratp on Wednesday morning, the precise location of the movement and the extent of it must have been known in London. The fierceness of the Eng- lish papers proves that a formidable insurreo- tion was going on, and yet in the despatches of yesterday there is not a word to intimate where the rising took place, nor under what circum- stances, We are simply informed that more troops were to go to Belfast, and that some arms and uniforms were seized in Liverpool. From the telegrams received yesterday evening by the cable, it appears that a battalion of the Horse Guards have been ordered to Ireland. Every Englishman: and Irishman knows that when the Guards leave London the emergency which demands their presenco is of the gravest character. We are left to judge from this and similar significant circumstances of the extent ot the “rebellion,” as the London Times calls the “uprising in Ireland.” It looks as if the British government, which holds both ends of the cable, will give us just as little news as possible, and that not of a character to create any excitement or sympathy for the Fenians. Genera, Grant anp THE Prastogyt.—It is given out from Washington that General Grant the other day had a long consultation with the President on Southern restoration, and that in this consultation the General earnestly opposed the scheme of an amnesty-suffrage compromise “as an niterly unsafe basis of reconstruction, tending to restore rebels to absolute power in the rebellious section,” and that “he urged Mr. Jonson to accept and recommend the pro- posed amendment to the codstitution as @ fair vod just plan of reconstruction, taking the ground that the people liad declared tor it, and at would be unwise to di@regard their We have only to say bere that what- ever may be the facts in regard to this reported consultation aod conversation, we have no doubt that the views above given are the opinions of General Grant and ot the great body of the Union soldiers of the war, and that Congress, thus sustained, will hold fast to the amend- mont, and make its ratification complete with its approval by the legislatures of three-fourths of the States having a voice in the government. Tue Rapicats Preranma ror Acriow.—We learn from Washington that the radical faction, under the lead of Thad Stevens, Ben Wade and a tow others, are preparing for their proposed violent and revolutionary work at the com- mencement of tho session of Congress next week.

The con- servative element of the republican party in Congress is too powerful and too patriotic to permit these men to have their way. We may expect a lively time, however, the first days of the session. The New York Prese Association and the Country Journals. The Executive Committee of the Westerm As- sociated Press, in an interview with the mem- bers of the New York Association on the 28th inst., demanded privileges and terms which it was impossible to grant, and they withdrew from the conference and made the best terms possible with » spurious concern started by & former but now dismissed agent of the New York Associated Press. These gentlemen assert that the entire Western press will join them in this movement, byt by their explanations and apoldgies to their “oonsti- tuents,” a copy of which we have received, ‘vould seem to fear otherwise, We imagine that the press ‘of the country. ‘wilbnot pe in haste to accept the advice and take the unwise step of the agents of their association. It isa matter of time-and of much money to establish an association like that of the New York press, and one at all adequate to answering the demands of tbe press and the people of the country. Expensive local offices have to be established, with experienced sala- ried agents in charge; an equal number of foreign correspondents have to be employed at still heavier expense, news boats maintained, and hundreds of other similar expenses which the country papers have hitherto not been called upon to sustain. The expenses of the Heracp alone in this respect will foot up many thousands of dollars per annum, and those of the other papers make the aggregate a mon- strous sum. All the news furnished by those hundreds of private correspondents of the New York papers has been furnished gratis to the country papers, saving to them not only the expenses and salaries of the correspondents, but the heavy cost of its transmission by the cable. The spurious association which is struggling to establish itself proposes to fur- nish this same news second hand, half a day after its publication here, thus giving the small evening papers in other cities the benefit of the news in advance ofthe larger and more important“morning journals. This clipping of news from the New York papers is a species of cheap enterprise not likely to be appreciated by the morning journals or the people of the: country, and they will have to turn to the New York association for a full and prompt supply of the American’s indispensability—news. The old association is determined to excel even itself in the character and completeness of its news and in despatch in its transmission, and if necessary to the maintenance of its superiority the special telegrams of the Heratp and other papers from all parts of the world will be de- livered to the country press simiiltaneously with their publication in this city. Lowpos. Curvatrr.—It has been credibly stated that General Haynau, an Austrian, once visited the famous London brewery of Barclay & Perkins, and that, it becoming known who he was, the burly brewers at once set upon him in very violent style, compelling the dis- tinguished foreigner to run for his life. This bas been regarded as a fact honorable to the humanity of the brewors ; it was accredited as an expression of the chivalry of the British laborer. That hardy fellow, full of the geue rosity of good beer, saw in Haynau a man who bad put down revolution With unnecessary cruelty, and he could not contaim his indigna- tion at the sight, but had to fall on with his big ‘fists. Now can any one show that Haynau was ever more cruel than the London papers pro- pose to be? Did be ever commit any act equal to.thoae that would result from the teach- ings of the London Times and: its fellows? Never. And we respectiully suggest to the London brewers thet there is a new oppor- tunity in Printing House square for the demon- stration of their instincts in favor of humanity. Grugcey Orr ram Track Acat.—There are no responses from republican journals or lead- ers in favor of Greeley’s last manifesto of “uni- versal amnesty and impartial suffrage,” but many protests against it. He is evidently off the track again, jastas he was getting ina good position to become a great man In Israel. Our Albany correspondent says that there is a strong combination. in the republican church against him for the Senate, in consequence of his “on to Richmond” blundering, his negotia- tions with Jake Thompson and George Sanders, his advocacy of the right of secession,’ his proposition to pay the rebel States four hun- dred millions of dollars for the abolition of slavery, his offer to. go’ bail for Jeff Davis, bis rejection of the constitutional amendment, coupled with his universal amnesty to rebels and their restoration to political power. This is a heavy budget of blunders, but his party would probably excuse all the: rest if he had avoided this last manifesto of universal am- nesty to rebels, when the unanimous voice of the Northern States demands first of the rebel States somo solid securities for the future. That blunder of an unconditional amnesty to all the rebels, great and small, has put Greeley under « cloud again, and if he should fail for the Senate it will be from the same misfortune that has laid “T. W.” on the shelf—the mis fortune of too many manifestoes. Sswaton Fessenpen’s Views—Tus Auenp MENT TO BE SusTaINED my CononEss.—Senator Fessenden, at the reception of the Union League Club of this city, at their rooms on Wednes- day last, spoke of the general results of the late elections as “a just and emphatic verdict of the American people in favor of the constitu- tional amendment,” and strongly condemned any compromises caleulated to destroy or injure the legitimate freits of the war, and o~- Premium on treason by such a theory @ that of “aniversal amnesty for impartial -uffrage.” Ho held that “the question has bet settled by the people, and their wish it as the duty of their representatives to meke tangible and off- cfent in the legislation of the country and its practical enforcement.” Now, considering te position of Mr. Fossen- den as the leading momber of the Senate branoh of the join!
