THE CONSTITUTIONAL AITENDIIIENT.
Message from the President.
In the House of Representatives yester
day, a message from the President in refer
ence to the joint resolution was received,
stating that it had been communicated by
the Secretary of State to the Governors of
the various States on the 16th of June, but
that was a ministerial act, and not to be
considered as involving the assent of the
Executive to the proposed amendments.
Mr. Wilson, of lowa, moved the refer
ence of the message to the Judiciary Com
mittee, but at the auggestion of Mr. Banks
and others, amended the motion and moved
its reference to the Reconstruction Commit
tee, which was agreed to.
To the Senate and House of Representa
tives: I submit to Congress a report of the
Secretary of State, to whom was referred
the concurrent resolution of the 18th inst.,
respecting a submission to the Legislatures
of the States of an additional article to the
Constitution of the United States, It will
be seen from this report the Secretary of
State bad on the 16th inst. transmitted to
the Governors of the several States, certified
copies of the joint resolution passed on the
13th inst., proposing an amendinent to the
Constitution, Even in ordinary times any
question of amending the Constitution
must be justly regarded as of paramount
importance. - -
This importance is at the present time en
hanced by the fact that the joint resolution
was not submitted by the two Houses -for
the approval of the - President, and that of
the thirty-six States which constitute the
Union, eleven are excluded from represen
tation in either House of Congress, although
with the single exception of Texas, they
have been entirely restored to all their func
tions as States in conforinity with the or
ganic law of the land, and have appeared at
the national capital by Senators and repre
sentatives who, have applied for and have
been refused admission to the vacant seats.
Nor have , the sovereign people of the nation
been afforded an opportunity of expressing
their views upon the important question
which the amendment involves. Grave
doubts therefore may naturally and
justly arise as to whether the
action of Congress is in harmony with the
sentiments of the people, and whether State
Legislatures elected without reference to
such an issue should be called upon by Con=
grass to decide respecting the ratification of
the proposed amendment. Waiving the
question as to the constitutional validity of
the proceedings of Congress upon the joint
resolution proposing the amendment, or to
the merits of the article which it submits
through the Executive department to the
Legislature of the States,
I deem it proper
to observe that the steps taken by the Sec
retary of State, as detailed in the accom
pauying report, are to be considered as
purely ministerial, and in no sense what
ever committing the Executive to an ap
proval, or a recommendation of the amend
ment to the State. Legislatures or the people.
On the contrary, a proper application of
the letter aid spirit of the Constitution, as
well as of the interests of national order,
harmony and union, and a due deference
for an enlightened public judgment, may at
this time well suggest a doubt whether any
amendment to the Constitution ought to be
proposed by Congress and pressed upon the
Legislatures of the several States for final
decision until after the admission of such
loyal Senators and Representatives of the
now unrepresented States as have been or
AS may hereafter be chosen in conformity
with the Constitution and laws of the United
States. ANDREW JOHNSON.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 22.—T0 the
President: The Secretary of State, to whom
was referred the concurrent resolution of
the two Houses of Congress, of the 18th
inst., in the following words: "That the
President of the United States be requested
to transmit forthwith to the Executives of
the several States of the United States copies,
of the article of amendment proposed by
Congress to the State Legislatures to amend
the Constitution of the United States, passed
June 6,1866, respecting citizenship, the basis
of representation, disqualification for office,
and validity of the public debtof the United
States, ctc., to the end that the said States
may proceed to act upon the said article of
amendment, and that he request the Execu
tive of each State that may ratify said
amendment to transmit to the Secretary of
State a certified copy of such ratification,"
has the honor to submit the following re
port, namely, that on the 16th inst. the lion
Amasa Cobb, of the Committee of the
House of Representatives on Enrolled Bills,
brought to this department and dep )sited
therein an enrolled resolution of the tw )
Houses of Congress, which was thereupon
received by the Secretary of State, and
deposited among the rolls of the depart•
ment, a copy of which is hereunto annexed
• Thereupon the Secretary of State, on the
16th instant, in conformity with the pro
ceeding which was adopted by him in 1865
in regard to the then proposed and after
.wards adopted congressional amendment of
the Constitution of the United States, con
cerning the prohibition of slavery, trans
mitted certified copies of the annexed reso
lution to the Governors of the several States,
together with a certificate and circular letter.
A cepy of both of these communications is
herewith annexed.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

A Message from the President in Regard
TO the Employment of Austrian Troops
In Ideate°.
WASHINGTON June 22.—The President
to-day, in furtheri answer to the recent re
solutions of the Senate and House of Repro
nentatives, requesting information in regard
to the.employment of European troops in
Mexico, transmitted to Congress the follow
ing despatch from Mr. Bigelow to Mr.
Seward :
LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES, PARTS,
June 4,1866.--Sir : I waited upon his Ex
cellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on
-Saturday last, in pursuance of a previous
appointment, to confer with him upon the
subject matter of your instruction No. 459,
marked "confidential." As he had been
already apprised of the contents of that de
spatch, through the French Minister resid
ing at Washington, I was spared the-neces
sity of restating them.: lie said that the
Imperial Government . proclaimed its in
tention to retire from Mexico because 'it
suited its convenience and interests to re
tire, and for no other reason. When, there
fore, it'announced formally, not merely to
'the United States, bat to all the world, that
the army would be withdrawn from kioxiaa
*within a specified time, he thought it should
be deemed`sufficient. The G ivernMent
Made its declaration in good faith' and
-means to keep it. It means GO withdraw its
army within the time prescribe,
and it does not intend to take one
or two hundred troops in the first
detachment, and one or two hun
dred more in the second, leaving the
great body.of them to the last, through
it had not deemed it necessary to specify
with minuteness details of this kind, which
depend upon hygienic and climatic consid
erations, of which it was the•best and only
competent judge. This, his Excellency
said, he wished I would say to our Govern
rhent. 1 asked his Excellency , if I had ever
intimated to him, whether in writing
. or
orally, any suspicion of the Emperor's in
tention to withdraw his army from Mexico
in unequal proportions. He replied that I
had not. I then asked him if any other
person, authorized to speak in the name of
my Government, had done so. He said no;
but he had read imputations of that kind in
one of our papers. I replied in substance
that the prkss was a law in itself, but that
we had better not accept it as a law unto us,
and as he asked me to communicate to my
Government a formal answer to what
sounded like an accusation of insincerity
and bad faith on the part of the Emperor, I
wanted his authority for stating that no
such accusation had reached him through
any official channel. He replied that he
had only read it in a newspaper. I then
went on to say that the purpose of your in
struction, as I understood it, was simply to
obtain an explanation which was sure to be
required of you of the shipment by France
of large bodies of troops to Mexico after the
purpose to withdraw her whole army had
been officially proclaimed. To" - this
His Excellency . replied - that since
seeing me he had gotten from his col
leagues of the Marine and War Depart
ments information to the purport that no
troops belonging to the corps expendition
aire had been sent to Mexico this year, un
less for the sake of partly replacing soldiers
missing, but at any rate, without aug
mentation of the number of standing troops.
That the shipment of troops referred to in
the public prints, and in your despatch, was
most likely that made in the transport
Rhone, about the beginning of the year;
that this Rhone touched at Martinique, but
not at St. Thomas, as was stated; that she
carried 916, and not 1,200 soldiers; that they
belonged to the foreign legion, and- not to
the expeditionary corps; that they consisted
of troops which had been• waiting trans
portation a long ttme in France and in Al
geria, to join theitaregiments; that no new
troops had been enrolled for the foreign le
gion, since the Emperor proclaimed his pur
pose to wit& draw his flag from Mexico, and
that no more, for what he knew, were in
tended to be enrolled. In regard to the
shipment of troops from Austria, he said
that that was an affair entirely between that
Government and the Mexican, with which
France had nothing to do; that since
I had spoken to him upon the subject,
he had verified his own convictions by a
reference to • the- Ministers of War and Ma
rine, and had ascertained that no engage
ments of any sort had been entered into by
either for the enrollment or transport of
troops from Austria to Mexico. He went
on further to say that it was the intention
of the Government to withdraw the army
entirely from Mexico within the time speci. 7
fled in his despatch to you, at the very
latest, and sooner if climatic and other con
trolling considerations permitted, and it
was not his intention to replace them with
other frown from any quarter. At the con
clusion of a long conversation, of which I
have given the important results, I ex
pressed my satisfaction with his Excellen
cy's explanation, and the pleasure I should
have in communicating them to my Govern
ment. This despatch has been submitted
to M. Drouyn de .L'Huys ' and the foregoing
version of the results of our conversation
has been approved by him.
I am, sir, with great respect, your obedient
servant, JOHN BIGELOW.

State, Washington, D. C.
