W asutnaron, April 23, The President to-day sent a message tot be House of Representatives, in response to the resoluticn ssking for information in relation to the proposed bvacuation of Mexico by the French military forces, enclosing a number of documents, among which is 4 note from Mr, Seward tothe Marquis de Montho- fou, dated Feb. 1%, 1866, in reply to a communica- tion of the Marquis, dated Jan. 29th, io segerd to affairs in Mexico. Mr. Seward says the U. B. Gov- erument is much ieeyye at the assarance of M. Drouya de L'iuys that ithe French expedition into Mexico had in it pothiag hostile to the institutions if the New World. @ assurance aiso that the rench Government is disposed to hasten the depart are of the ‘also hailed as virtual promise to the apprebensions of the UL. 8. Govern- ent. In regard to the statement of M. Drourn de Pays at the Mexican people owed France money r which y could only obtam by going to war, end thatthe United States had made war againet the Mexican people. Mr. Seward says that the war with Mexico was not sought by this Government, d as to the merits of the reasons for the French ntervention this Government cannot determine that question; we only look at it in the light with «hich it affects Republicanism and our American institutions, Mr. Seward further says that the steps taken by @ clase of Mexicans for in ing the Republican Government there, and for themselves of French intervention, is re- garded by the United States as not being in accord- auce with the wishes of the great mass of the Meri- ean people, and thie Government will at present con- nue to re ze the Republic, and lin wwolwe iteels in the nition of the inatifution of Prince Maximilian. he document goes on, at great length, to defend Republicanism in Mexico, and concludes by stating that in the opinion of the President, France need not for a moment delay the romised withdrawal of military force trom Mex: goder the rebension that the United States wil prove unfaithful to ite principles and the policy it has always maintained with regard to the free sovereigu- ty of the people, or this continent, One of Mr. Beward's notes to our Austrian Minis- ter contains the following siguificant language : ee9 fos are therefore expected to execute the fastras on valen bave hexetatere been sent & you that an is roper that you 2 a at + Peetlities being state that im the event of earried on hereafter in Mexico, by Austrian sub- jects, under the command or with the sanction of the Government of Vienna, the United States wili feel themselves at liberty to regard those bostiliti.s s constituting # state of war by Austria against the biie of Mexico, And in regard to such war, waged at thie time and under existing circum stances, the United States could not engage to re- main as silent or neutral spectators, The President's Message, with the accompanying betters of the Becretary of the Treasury and the Post- master General, asking for a repeal of the Test Oath, {heretofore published la the 8uN) which were reter- red wo the Committee on the Judiciary, were by that Committee, through its Chairman, Mr, Wilson, of reported to the House to-day usfavorably. ret coats say that the actot July 2d, 156%, rri war for its very existence, was inten sy permanent. oo that persous who had voluntarily Patt their allegiauce to the Government and a when the Nation was weaing 8 ined she rebellion should be forever prohibited om any office under the Government, as the eding re Previous to the war, had veld office, d used their official positions to orgauize a rebei- fice to subvert the Government. And without suck official influence the rebellion could never have been organized or commeneed. The Cemmittee think treason should not be made respectable by robes of 0. Places of power, honor, trust and profit should iven only to men, and such can be found in ficient Bumbersin all the insurrectionary States fill the places vacant ua the Post-oflice or reasur, periments, The Committee quote ry jee tiers of 1862, and ~ the Pe ident's dec while Miiitery Gov, | prescribing @ (test oath was necessary and in ecco! with spirit of the country then and pow. The Committee agreeing with the President that “treason should be made "* know of ne ether way of accomplishing it tham by closing ail etheial doors against traitors, and thus harmony of won will be produced between she Legislature and ecutive branches of the Government. In ieview- the letter of the Becretary of the Treasury, the Committee say, the test oath was establishea by law, and po officer had any more right 1o dispense with it than he had tw dispense with any other law, Ail officers should know that the dispensing power does pot rest in this Goverumenut, and thas its exer- cise ia dangerous aad will mot be tolerated. Had the!President called Congress together in 1565, afier the close of the war, when his views on recon: ubtion and the powers of Vougress were different yl what oly 4 ng now, the Act of July %d, 18632, ve been modified or repealed, and the pre- pay ad, between the Piesident and Congress . Inevead of doing this, the Presidens and members ot his cabinet have Leen dispensing with the law altogether. The Committee turther think that if she test oath was modified so a to allow ex. cebels to fill offices under the Government, the social satiuence ar from thet fact woald push loyal qen out of the way, and the Governwent would be obliged to givegii its offices to traitors, This would mais ‘eason odious por punish traliors, but va the contrary, would punish loyal meu for their faithfulness to the Union end the Gevesnment, A vmmualy thas will gos respect ou ollleer of the United States because he has beos saffic! to the (iovernment to allow of hie taking the test oath, does mot deserve to have the Qdvantages and convenience: of the postal service extended to |t ; but does to have the revenue laws enforced against it by the services of such y loval cere as the (iov- ernment J be able to secure. Let the Governe ment recognize the claims of loyal men in this re: ana leyalty and respect for ¢! aws of the Uni: Btates will coon be strong enough to overcome the social power which frowns upon every Union m who stood by the flag of the Republic th hout t whole course of the war, hen these ends are se- cured it may be expedient to modity the test oath, but not unti! then. The committee, therefore, ask to Eo ceemarged from the iurther consideration of the jot. THR MINORITY REPORT. Representative Rogers presented the Minority Re- port, in which be says the President and : taries ‘om their efficial positions, know better the necessi- ties which require « modification of the oath than any other persons,end their request should be agreed to. Now that the war ls ended, the only question ‘ould be whether Southern men can new be found loval, and he was surprised that the Government did not recommend the entire repeal of the act ot July. He then points out the various ¢auses which induced many men te join the rebellion, not willingly but by constraint. He argese that the test oath must be re- pealed sooner or Tr, amd the sooner the better, unless the le Gesize © deprive the present gen- Shy in the th of all voice in the affairs of the ation. t of a similar sore for the reasons herein set forth, it is recommen that so far modify the Test Oath that the third clause may be stricken out. and a clause ineert- od therein, to read as jollows: “Thatl have not voluntarily sought any office whatever, under any suthority, or preven suthority, in hostility to the United States.” Mayor elect Monro, and Alderman elect Nixon, of New Orleans, whe have not been permitted te exer- cise their fusctions on account of their connection with the rebellion, are in Washington. A delegation of Knights Templars of the United States called to pay their respects to the President to-day, The Chief and Representatives of the Minnesota Band of Uhippowa Indians had an interview, accord: ing tw sppolmtment, during which the Chief ad- dressed the President, through the interpreter. A communication was sent te the House to-day, from the War Department, respecting the colleetion of the remains of Union officers and soldiers killed and buried on various battlefields The Quartermas ter-General says he has reports of the interment of nearly oue hundred thousand, « large portion of whom it will, perhaps, be necessary to remove to cemeteries, General (homes has issued an order warning the people against plowing over the graves of our dead at Atlanta. It will be remembered that after the surrender of General Lee, the military fo Georgia captured 9100, 000 in gold, which was claimed by The Farmers’, The Exchange, and The Bank of Virginia, at Rich- mond, Recent investigations of the facts, however, show that a few weeks before the evacuation of Rich- mond, the Legislature of cintale passed « law, au thorizing the sald Banks to loan the Confederate Government, upon the faith of the State, $300,000 in gold, to purchase supplies for Lee's army. ‘This sum was placed by the respective Banks to the credit of the rebel government, and before the surrender of Lee, 900,000 was paid, legving $240,000, belonging to the rebel government, with these Bauks at the time of the evacuation, The Government, therefore, claims pot only the $100,000 eaptured in Georgia, bus also the $140,W0 additional in custody of the Banks, This is the present condition of the question. The noes of there Banks have been bought up with tee expectation that the (iovernment would reliuqu fs title bo the 884,000 of gold. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS, Thirty-Ninth Seasion, SENATE.

Movinu-Day av HAND—Tuk Prospecr.— The anoual woving-day in this city is almost here, and yet hundreds of families are uoprovided with dwellings for (he next rent-year, Many persous Lave bed the impression that the landlords would be obliged to reduce thelr reuts before the lat of May, bat unfortunately that belief bas proven to be erro- neous, A large number of families have gous to the suburbs to avoid the bigh prices ; others have been comstrained to get along with diminished accommo- dation im the way of house-room ; many houses that Were some time ago offsred for asle have siuce been placed in thw reutiog market; but, in the face of all these circumstauces, rentals have not receded, and dwellings are still very difficult to obtain, at any price, Such is the situation of the rent question at the present time, however unpleasant it may be. The supply of tenements ls totally inadequate to the demand, and therefore the laudlords have the mat- ter of prices all thelr own way. But whet are houseless people to do im this emer- gency? In some casos it will create much suffering, Many widows, for inatence, having chil- dren dependent upon them, canuot earn enough to pay the advanced rents and support their families, even upon the coarsest food, What they are to do isa question very difficult to answer satisfactorily, for much hardship and suffering underiles it, So far as the mass of peop.» are cencerned who complain of high rents, there can be no relief whatever, But little more than « week will elapse before the dread- ed moving-day, and there is now wo aliermative but to make the best attainable arrangements with land- lords, aud then endeavor to supply the increased cout of rents by a closer economy in other matters, The Greater pert of (hose who are cow houseless can man- age to * make both ends meet" in that way, It ts, of course, hard to be driven to pinching economy in thie manner, but the evil is uvavoldable, aad the best way is to take the watter patieutly and philo- sepbically, and wait for that ‘better time” which, in respect to house rents, cannot be far ia the fu- ture, But there are some families that are too poor to follow the plan suggested. They are Siready obliged to live in auch o way as to barely sustain life, and it is absolutely impossible for them to pay the heavy advance demanded by their landlords. ‘Ibis class are chiefly women, who have to rely upon their meedies tor the support of themselves and thelr childvem.manws of thew beine SUN. that fact, when resolutions to jus into the expedieney of erecting temporary pHa oe for the dependent.

A comparstive small sum, if Judiclously disbursed, so as te pay th sd vance upon present rents, in eases of really desor ing families, weuld confer an inestimable bene "pen persons who must otherwise suffer.
