THE DAILY EVENING TELEGR APH .PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAi', MAY 5, 1871. FROM TESTER DAI'S FIFTH EDITION. JTBOM WASHIJfQTOJt. 'Presidential Proclamation. "Washington, May 4. By the President of the United States of America, a proclama tion: The act of Conjrress entitled "An act to en ' force the provisions of the fourteenth amend ment to ihe Constitution of the United States, and for ether purposes," approved April 20, 1871, being a law of extraordinary public im portance, I consider it uiy duty to Issue this my proclamation calling the attention of the people of the United States thereto, enjoining npon ail good citizens, and especially upon all public officers, to fee zealous in the enforcement thereof, and warning all persons to abstain from committing any of the acts thereby prohibited. This law of Congress applies to ail parts of the United States, and will be enforced everywhere to the extent of the powers vested in the Exe cutive. But Inasmuch as the necessity therefor is well known to have been caused chiefly by persistent violations of the rights of citizens of the United States, by combinations of lawless and dis affected persons In certain localities lately the theatre of insurrection and military conflict, I do particularly exhort the people of those parts of the country to suppress all such combina tions by their own voluntary efforts through the agency of local laws, and to maintain the rigiits of all citizens of the United States, and to se cure all such citizens the equal protection of the laws. Fully sensible of the responsibility imposed npon the Executive by the act of Congress to which public attention is nowcalled.and reluctant to call Into exercise any of the extraordinary powers thereby conferred upon me, except in ases of Imperative necessity, I do, neverthe less, deem it my duty to make known that I will not hesitate to exhaust the powers thus vested in the Executive whenever and wherever it shall become necessary to do so for the purpose of securing to all citizens of the United States the peaceful enjoyment of the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution and laws. It is my earnest wish that peace and cheerful obedience to law may prevail throughout, the land, and that all traces of our late nnhappy civil strife may be speedily removed. These ends can be easily reached by acquiescence in the results of the conflict now written in our Constitution and by the due and proper enforcement of equal, just, and impar tial laws in every part of our country. .The failure of local governments to furnish such means for the attainment of results so earnestly desired impose npon the National Government the duty of putting forth all Its energies for the protection of all its citizens of every race and color, and for the restoration of peace and order throughout the entire country. In testimony whereof I have hereunto 6et my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this third day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand elgLt hundred and seventy-one, and of the In dependence of the United States the ninety fifth. U. S. Ghant. By the President, Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State. FROM THE WEST. Destructive Fires. ' Painesville, Ohio, May 4.

Two lieutenants and six soldiers of the British army, stationed at Fort Niagara, lost their lives in attempting to secure a life-boat that end gone adnft daring a gale. A formidable strike nas occurred among the laborers who were employed to repair the great break in the Erie Canal, and not only has all the work come to a standstill, but the military have had to proceed to the scene to preserve order. A lively discussion ensued in the Ame rican Medical Association at ban Francisco yesterday over a resolution on the admission of female delegates. Officers were elected, and next year the association will meet in Philadelphia. Ihe striking miners now appear to be willing to go to work on almost any terms; and most of the members of the W. B. A. have become bo disgusted with the organiza tion that if it does not shortly cease to exist it will have lost nearly all its former power. John Siney, who has figured bo prominently as the champion of the miners, resigns his position in that body, and one despatch even intimates that he has been requested to leave the country, so great is the indignation of the dnped miners.

A London despatch asserts that the in surrection in Algeria is spreading, and that the Versailles Government is heedless of the danger.

On Tuesday night three divisions of the army of the Assembly, under the immediate command of MacMahon, advanced toward the vicinity of Paris through Bois da Boulogne. An entire corps was ordered to follow, but owing to certain circumstances the movement was not consummated. The approaches of the Versailles army to Fort d'Issy are being rapidly completed, and it is now regarded impossible for the Com- mnnists to escape. CITY COUNCILS.
