% WASHINGTON. AN precisely twely ‘Congress asermbled in their respective balls, maugurat- ‘tag the second session of the Thirty-pinth Congress. A wery full stendance of members was noticed, The qeseasion called together an ummense crowd of spectators, who thronged the galleries, even encroaching to an fmconvenient extent upon the reserved benches of the yeporters’ galleries and blocking up the corridors, alls and passages to an uncomfortable degree. The Beastie was opened in due form, and with no ‘unasual ceremony, by acting Vice President Fos- ter, after which prayer was offered by the regular @hapiain. The credentials of Hons Mr. Edmonds, of ‘Vermont; Messrs, Cattell and T, P. Frelinghuysen, of ‘New Jersey, and Mr. Fogg, of Now Hampshire, were presented and read, when those gentlemen appeared at the President’s desk, subscribed to the oath of office and were admitted to seats, The House was called to ordur at the same time aud with as little ceremony as the “enate. Two members of ‘the Tennessee delegation, not present at the last sesgion, appeared, subscribed to the oath of office and were ad- mitted te seats. The proceedings in beth houses are gfven in full below. ‘The President’s Meseage—Opinions in Regard to Te. ‘The more intimate friends of the President assert to- ~ @ny that his message as sent to Congress, in all that re- lates to our domestic troubles, is an entirely different ¢ccument from that first prepared. The Johnson party now say that on the appearance of Thad Stevens here last week 1m his great efforts to forestal the action of Congress by committing findividnal members ‘0 extreme measures of hostility to the a¢ministra- tion, the President saw but little likelihood of apy favorable reception of such conciliatory propositions as he had designed making, and inasmuch ss bat kicks and ¢affs were fto be his portion, he could ‘receive such treatment with better advantage on his own grounds. Hence he revised the message aes ‘Mie former line of policy. It 1s rumored to-night ‘the French Minister is disposed to take exception to the statement in the message, that the French goverament gave no ‘intimation’? to the Department of State of thelr change of pian in removing the entire French amny from Merico this winter instead of prolonging its departure urti] November, 1867. The Marquis de Mon- ‘Whelon, it is stated, gave repeated ‘‘ intimations’’ to the Meeretary of State Within the last month of the new pro- gvamwme of the Emperor, which seemed to afford entire ‘@mtisfaction to Mr. Seward. The President, it is thought, ‘was offended that the French Minister of Foreign Affaire 414 not write a formal despatch on this subject; but the Wrench government evidently supposed that a repre- entation by their Minister here of the change of plan, ‘with its motives, was all that was necessary. It seems ear that nothing was farther from the intention of the ‘Wrench government than to give offence to ours. Prepesed Bill Defining the Powers of the Pre- sident and his Cabinet. Seater Sherman is preparing an important bill de- fiming certain powers of not only the President but the @ecretaries. It is alleged that moneys have been paid ent without any authority or warrant of law to persons refhee have been rejected and afterwards appointed by ‘the President.

He prayod that they might be granted wisdom to enter upon the discharge of their new responsibilities with added strength and courage, with increased faith in the righteous cause, in the power of truth and in the intelli- gence and right mindedness of the peuple, so that they might perfect the work which they had so nobly begun. ‘He prayed that they might leave nothing to be done by these who were to come after them, and which they themselves ought to perform; and that, as the result of their delit jons, there should be no spot on this land that was not consecrated to freedom, so that every man should be secure in life, liberty and yy, and should be invested with every political right that belongs to proper manhood. He asked not for harmony which would be the result of any compromise or any yielding, but that those who were right be stronger than ever in the right, and that peace might be procured by the Yielding of those who were wrong.

It is made my pleasnre and duty by the Joyal citizens of the District of Colambia, under their various or- ganizations, to tender a welcome to the Union mem- bers of the Thirty-ninth Cougcess. In their name, T now welcome you, one and all, to their bospitality. ‘This welcome is given ax an oxpression of respect for your wisdom and patriotisia as national lawmakers, ax Well as the municipal legislators of this district. Yield ing all honor to the nation’s defegdors in the field, and without reflecting on the other branches of the govern- ment, or the integrity of the distinguished functionaries who occupy the feats of executive and judicial power, and with no disposition to flattery, we may be permitted to say that a nation saved bears testimony that we tender no mistaken regard. A nation saved from the conspiracies of European Powers, saved from the parricidal efforts of domenti> foes—saved from bapk- ruptey, saved from slavery Much bas been done. Much remains to be done. It has been not inaptly vaid that thik is a goverament “of the people, by the people, for the people,’’ That people have spoken at the ballot box, in our theory of government the souree of power.
