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

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,

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.
