EVENING BULLETIN. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4.1866, THE PBESIDENT’B MESSAGE. There was no State secrecy about the Message which President Johnson has jast Bent to Congress. Its general cha racter was known and telegraphed all •ver the country a week or more ago. The full document was in possession of hundreds of persons, and was in type in scores of newspaper offices in many of the chief cities, two days before it was sent to Congress. Editors might have had their views concerning it written End printed in advance of its delivery, lint, really, all curiosity concerning its tone and temper having ceased some time ago, and the President, since th e late elections, being a much less import, ant person than he was before, his mes sage scarcely demands discussion. It really excites but little interest. The subject of the admission of South- ern members of Congress occupies, of course, a prominent place in the Mes sage. No new views or arguments are presented; but the old ones are repeated in a moderate, respectful manner, which shows that the iesson of the late elec tions has not been wholly lost upon Mr. Johnson. He had no need, however, to repeat that it is very important to have all the States represented by loyal mem bers. Everybody knows and admits that; but Congress and the people want to make sure of their loyalty, before the members are admitted. The President wants to have them admitted only be cause they are elected, leaving the ques tion of their loyalty to be tested in a very uncertain way, or to remain wholly untested until they begin to vote upon laws that are to govern the loyal as well as the dis loyal. The people of the loyal States having decided that Congress is right and the President wrong, there is no need to discuss the question at present. But he might have condescended to speak of the Constitutional Amend ments, adopted by Congress and await ing the approval of the States. Even the expression of “a little aversion” would have been manly at least. But Mr. Johnson is silent about the proposed amendments, and contents himself with quoting from former Presidents sen tences inculcating adherence to the Con stitution. Has he totally forgotten that the country has changed, that slavery has been abolished by the Constitution, and that therefore the existing constitu tional provision for a representation of slavery in Congress is superfluous and wrong? Some other provision for rep resentation in Congress is needed, and it is furnished by the pro posed Constitutional! Amendments. But the President will not say a word for or against them. He is thus encour aging the rebel governors and legisla tures to continue their vain and injurious opposition to the Amendments. So, if they must remain unrepresented, it will be the fault of the President. Congress has put its foot down, and the people of all the loyal States sustain Congress. . The passages in the message relating to the national finances and to -the operations of the various departments of the Government reveal little that is new to the people. But as an authoritative and official statement of the condition of the nation lately emerged from a ter rible and costly war, the document will produce a marked impression abroad. There is no instance in history of suffer ings so bravely borne, or of taxes so cheerfully paid. There is no record of such rapid reduction of an enormous debt. The people and their representa tives in Congress, who have made the laws by which the taxes are imposed and collected, will be admired through out the world for their fidelity to the great principles of republican govern ment, which now shine brighter and brighter before the oppressed peoples of Europe, after, the trying ordeal through which they have been carried. While presenting to Congress and the world the interesting facts concern ing the workings of oar system of go vernment, the President makes no new suggestions of any importance. The only novel idea that he ofters is that of allowing the people of the District of Columbia to be represented in Congress hya delegate. This will probably re ceive favorable consideration, provided all the male citizens of legal age are allowed to vote. But if the President and hiß partisans continue their success ful resistance to impartial suffrage in the District, there is no probability that Congress will authorize the election of a delegate. Our relations with foreign powers are not in the most satisfactory condition France continues her military occupa tion of Mexico, having attempted to evade the promised evacuation by a pre tended "postponement. Whether the re newed remonstrances of our government will have any influence with the Empe ror Napoleon seems very doubtful; and in the anomalous state of affairs existing in Mexico, there can be little hope of a speedy satisfactory settlement of the va rious questions relating to that countrv. Nor is the report concerningour relations with Great Britain more satisfactory. The damages inflicted upon American citi zens and their property, by British sub jects, during the rebellion, are still ua-. settled, and the President only expresses a faint hope of satisfaction. The Fenian movements,andthe course pursued by the Government in relation to them; are briefly stated. The efforts to procure clemency for those convicted revolutionary attempts are spoken of, OT^“ le '^ are a PP rov ed by the whole But there was no needofoffer- P “a maxim of government,” the ent that “severity of civil pun THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.—PHILADELPHIA, TUESUiv. DECEMPEK.4. T«gk —TRTPT.E SHEET isbment for misguided persons who have engaged in revolutionary attempts which have disastrously failed is unsound and unwise.” There are cases to which this doctrine may be applied, and that of the Fenians is one. But as "a maxim of gov ernment,” it may be made to include all the cases of treason against our own government. But the author of the sentiment that “treason is a crime that must be made odious,” has practically receded from that doctrine long since and in offering the new sentiment, he seems to be preparing to exercise towards Jefferson Davis, the chief author of all our troubles, the clemency that he asks for the convicted Fenians. Is this what is to be expected in the near future ? There are several minor topics touched upon in the message which heed not be referred to here. As a whole, the docu ment is no better and no worse than was expected. It is written in good, plain English,and its tone is reasonably mode rate and respectful. But the President haying reduced himself almost to a cipher in the Government, the people take little interest in what he says. They have been deceived and disap pointed by him, and they look to the acts of Congress with much more confi dence and respect than they can offer to the messages of the Executive. BE FBIBUTION. The scattering of the mice when the cat comes in eight; the fluttering among the carrion-crows when the click of the trigger is heard; the dismay among a party of professional faro-bankers when a squad of policemen pounce in upon them, are strong and graphic figures to illustrate an idea of terror-stricken guilt in the face of inevitable justice. But the doom of the Copper-Johnson office holder, in view of the acts of the Repub lican caucus, on Saturday night, is a still stronger case in point. It was unani mously determined that the President should be called upon to send to the Senate all appointments made during the recess, within ten days from the as sembling of Congress, or from the pas sage of the act, and to prohibit any man once reacted by the Senate from holding any office of honor or profit for three years. It waSalso determined that when a nominee is rejected by the Senate, the former appointee shall resume the office and be entitled to the pay and emolu ments that he would have received had he continued in the undisturbed enjoy ment of his place. Congress yesterday gave an earnest that it was disposed to go at the business before it without min cing matters, and what had been deter mined upon in caucus was promptly put in train to be carried out. Judge Kelley’s proposition to ; take away from the control of the President all the important machinery of the In ternal Revenue department, and to con fide it to the Supreme Court, is also a tremendous shot “between wind and water,” and Copperhead commissioners, collectors, inspectors and assessors are quakingwith dismay and apprehension. The congressional cat has returned and the Copperhead mice, which have had full play during the recess, may look to have their fun spoiled, and that right During pussy’s ab sence from headquarters the mice have set up for themselves rather offensively. They entirely forgot that, according to the Constitution of the United States, Congress is the supreme authority of the land; that the result of the presidential election of 1864 meant that the control of public affairs should be in the loyal Republican party, which carried the country safely through the war, and not in the Copperhead faction which affiliated with treason and in every way crippled the Government in all its efforts to crush the rebellion. There were elections in the summer and fall in several States, and the people endorsed these views some what emphatically, and they said to Andrew Johnson, “111-done, thou bad and faithless servant!” The day of retribution has come, and Congress can take no step toward undo ing the treacherous work of Andrew Johnson, in respect to removals from office and appointments thereto, that will be in advance of the temper of the people. The mice may well tremble,for the cat is at home again; A LESSON. When Benjamin Franklin died he left a provision in his will to the effect that a certain portion of his estate should be set asid# for the purpose of loaning out at interest small sums of money to aid poor young mechanics in Boston and Philadelphia to get themselves into business. The sum to be loaned to any one individual was small, very small, when measured by our present estimate of values, and, as a consequence, very few young men are now found who are anxious to take advantage of the Frank lin bounty. A statement of the condi. tion of the Boston wing of the fund has recently been made public. From the exhibit it seems that but a single individual is now in the enjoyment of a loan from the Franklin beneficence. As regards the past, there are some hun dreds of instances of persons who have availed themselves of this plan of “giving themselves a start,” and a mel ancholy result is announced in the fact that of all the recipients of this bounty or charity, or opportunity, fully seven eighths left their sureties to pay their in debtedness to the fund. Seven out of eight were dead failures. There is a valuable lesson in this expe rience, which the world is constantly having taught it, but which is hard to learn. The most distinguished instances of success in life are those of men who depended upon themselves alone for the means of pushing their fortunes. The habit of self reliance, carried through life, insures success; while the spirit of dependence inculcated by the receipt of the bounty of others is too apt toweaken the character, lessen the energy and damage the confidence which is so essential to advancement. The ill suc cess attending the practical working of the Franklin fund adds one more to the many instances which prove that all efforts to promote the welfare of young men will be failures, so long as they do not encourage a spirit of determined self respect and self reliance. THE LINCOLN MONUMENT. The leading copperhead organ of this city made the assertion, immediately after the last election, and has since re peated it, that the funds of the Lincoln Monument Association were expended to aid in the election of Governor Geary. The lie direct was given to this wanton fabrication by the action of the Associa tion yesterday. At a meeting held for the purpose, the Treasurer’s report was presented, showing over §22,000 in hand. It was then determined that the monu ment should take the form of a bronze statue, and measures were taken to pro cure from American artists, at home and abroad, appropriate designs, and also to secure a suitable site for the monument. The subscribers to the fund will be glad to know that there is now a good prospect of Philadelphia’s being the first city of the Union to erect its monument to the memory of the illustrious Lincoln. There will undoubtedly be a spirited competition among the best living American artists for tlie execution of this work, and as the matter is in the hands of gentlemen of experience and taete in works of art, there can be no doubt that such a design will be selected as will not only commemorate the affec tion and esteem with which the name, of Abraham Lincoln is regarded, but' will be an honor and ornament to our city. A GOOD SUGGESTION. Some one suggested in-one of thedaily papers a few days since that provision should be made at the several police sta tions for theeonveyanceof persons meet ing with sudden accidents in thestreets. General Tompkins,U.S. A., basrecently invented a stretcher upon a very conve nient and portable plan, which might be supplied at a trifling cost, and provide for what is sometimes quite aserious dif ficulty. A case in point occurred only on Sunday last. A woman,unknown at the time, passing through one of the streets in the most frequented part of the city, was suddenly stricken down with a mortal disease, and died before medical assistance could be procured. Her life less body was carried into a neighboring drug store,and the police were then com pelled to go from door to door in search of a settee upon which to convey her to the station-house. After considerable difficulty one was borrowed for the pur pose, and the body was removed. In cases where accidents do not result fa tally, and it is necessary to transport the sufferers promptly to their residences or to the hospital, the importance of this simple suggestion is still greater. We call the attention of the police authorities to the matter, and hope that the proposed plan will be speedily adopted. Picture Sale Postponed.— The sale an nounced by Mr. B. Scott, Jr., of fine paint ings imported by Mr. d’Huyvetter, is post poned in consequence of delay in procuring the frames. It will take place at Scott’s Art Gallery, No. 1020 Chestnut street, on the evenings of Dec. 19th, 20th and 21st, and will include 260 original paintings, selected from the artists’ studios in France, Ger many, Holland and Belgium. Ristori.— The Ristorl season at the Aca demy of Music will begin on Monday even ing. The Bale of season tickets began yes terday, and was most satisfactory. To morrow the sale of tickets for the first night will commence. We advise all who wish good seats to apply early. A Card. To' the Editor of the Evening Bulletin: Sib : Having, with gratitude, noticed the interest manifested inyour columns in behalf of justice and suffering humanity, and more directly so towards myself—a stranger in a strange land—by advocating impartial carriage, I here take the opportunity of returning yon my warmest thanks. But in so doing it might be well to inform you and the public generally, that although" the pe tition which arrested your attention and drew out yonr sympathy has been handed into the Directors of the Walnut and Chest nut street railway company three weeks ago, they have not yet favored us with even the shadow of a reply. My “weary mile” of seventy scares, thirty-five out and thir ty-five in, has been daily performed as best I conld ; and as I hope soon again to enter the mission field in the interes t of the freedinen, I would perhaps have kept silence until the strong arm of the law com pel the obedience of the recreants: but, sir I believe as “patience sometimes ceases to be a virtue,” so silence on my part would be equally culpable. This day I would be glad to attend lectures, but to face the storm for a distance of thirty-five squares is some what trying to my health. In traveling in a half-civilized country the natives would injfite one to take shelter free of coßt verv often, but in this polished and refined cltv —one, too, it is said, of “brotherly love”— yon cannot obtain shelter in a public con veyance even at full price. In my recent tour to the West, I rode in the city cars in Pittsburgh and in Cincinnati. In the city of Louisville, Ky., I see females ride there of every hne, the fare being cheaper than in Philadelphia by two cents. I return to this city and am ordered on the front platform at a cost ofself-respectand two cents more than in other cities. Not long since a very deserving colored lady of this city entered a street cal at Thirty-first and Market streets. She was ordered out, and not leaving immediately 'behorses were taken from the car, and She was compelled to trip her “weary mile.” I think, Sir, we might well exolaim, with the Roman orator, O temporal O mores! The authorities know these things, the dbodla understand them, and yet this grievance exists. England has had her Wflberforce and Buxton. America has had hers; bnt if ever she needed more, she needs them now. Yonrs, faithfully, JOSEPH'S. ATTWELL Divinity Student and Candidate for Orders, F O, ??£ Somth street, Philadelphia, Decent her 4th, 1866. Bls tori’* Menem. The best audience, botn for character and numbers, that we have seen in the French Theatre, was assembled to say farewell to Madame Ristori on the occasion of her last evening performances in this city before leavhig for Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. Ristori played “Medea,” and afterward gave the sleep-walking scene in “Macbeth.” Respecting her “Medea.” we have nothing to add to what we said that performance after seeing it for the hist time. It is a part peculiarly suited to her powers, and must rank as her third best personation; Elizabeth being the first, and Mary Stuart the second. There are portions of “Medea” which are 55*““ , P° wer and passion as any thine Ristori does; and there is a wild and sump tuons magnificence about many of her atti tudes and gestures such as we have never seen and never expect to see approached by any other actress. The tenderness of her parting with the children is so deep and true that it is impossible not to be moved by it it is simple nature, unadorned, without a trace of exaggeration or sentimentality— equally true to human nature and to the character of Medea. A passage, too, never to be forgotten, is that where she describes to Crenea what she will do if she meets with the object of her jealousy. All the panther in the nature of this bar barian sorceress comes out in its full bloodthirstiness; as she tears the imaginary victim of her fury limb from limb, her eyes burn like coals of fire, her cheeks grow livid, her lips carl back from her teeth in a white horror, and she seems to lap Crensa’s blood with delirious joy. But all this tumult of passion, all this deep and tender feeling are expressed without once violating in the slightest degree the beautiful modesty of nature. There is no ranting, no stage strut, no gasping nor fuming; a fine restraint touches all the movement o t the body, and every gestnre, with its charm, and when rage and jealousy, love and terror shake the soul of this wild woman with their fury, we are borne along unresisting and unconscious, swept by the awful silence of the storm. A. Y. Tribune, Facts and Fancies. There is a new machine just invented for throwing obstructions from the passenger railways. We should like them to try it at throwing off a cent or two from the tare. Has the “Father of his Country” ever been called “Government Pap”? At a “wooden wedding” in Detroit, an in vited guest sent his regrets written upon a shingle. He preferred his shingle blessed ness to being board at the wedding. A Wisconsin Justice has decided that a man Is not liable for the liquor bills of his wife. The hen-pecked creature who brought the suit declared that it was as much as he could do to licker himself. The lady teachers oi Detroit are on a strike. The most striking of the fair crea tures are apt to be those with the longest lashes. Ail the monks of Palermo have been or dered to lay aside the monastic habit without delay. As they wish to pre serve some sort of uniform, they will prob ably come ontin monky-jackets. The Cincinnati Commercial has discovered that the failure of the meteoric sUower“is attributable to the President’s exhaustive use and distribution of stars throughout the country, a few weeks before.” A young and very pretty dressmaker of Columbus, Ohio, has absconded with a large number of "rich fabrics” belonging to her customers. Well, there is scarcely one of her customers that would not follow her enit—if she knew where to find it. At the St. Andrew’s festival last evening a member of the Sons of Temperance ob jected to the ox-tail soup on the bill of fare “because,” said he, “it it whisky.”— Wash ington Eeptiblican. It is said that a New York millionaire re cently gave a dinner at his residence to forty guests, one-half of whom were ladies, and by the aide of each plate of the lady t nests was a present worth five hundred oliars. The worst of that story is that it is true, and that nearly every one of the aris tocratic ladies pocketed the affront.
