tnleas he has lost all - sensibility, Secretary
reward must have felt humiliated when he.
Ihrnished to the President, ( to be transmitted to
She Senate, the full coneilsintienee with Mr.'
Motley, on his dismissal from .the mission to
Vienna. 'lt is more than a , year sinee;' on
the malicious report of an, unknown adven.:
'curer, Mr. Seward offered the indignity to.
Mr. Motley whith, compelled him, as a gen
tleman, to resign his office. During the in
terval that has elapsed, the unknown elan-,
derer, calling himself McCracken, has not
been discovered, Or, if anything has been
learned concerning him, it is that hO is a low,
swindling thief, traveling over 'Eurobe, and
borroWing money on various pretences, not
one cent of ,which Is ever returned. It was
in,consequenee Oa vulgar and malignant lie
,written by him to Mr, Seward, that lie wrote
his insulting letter to Mr. Motley.
Notwithstanding the full proof of the
, ,
vortblessneas of tbiri JereraY Diddle; Mr.
Seward has never offeredLa word of apology
to Mr. Motley ; nor has he ever evinced the
slightest sign of. regret that he had grossly in.
suited and wronged a high-tonea gentleman,
and an author and patriot. who is recognized
everywhere as an ornament, and , an honor to
the United States. The letter addresied 'to
Mx. Motley
,by Mr. Seward, in April last, tin
which he a t ccepted his resignation, was as
dry and cold as the most frigid diplomatic
formility , „ could devise. There was
not a syllable indicative of that gen
tlemanly 'feeling which ought to be
shown:by one man to another whom he
knows be has deeply wronged. There is not
the niost distant allusion to the vile slanderer,
McCracken, whose lying calumnies against
Mr. Motley and other American representa.
tives abroad were so eagerly accepted as
truth by,the President and Secretary of State.
The MC,Cracken business was bad enough.
But Mi. Saud aprtears, in ,the fell corre
spondence with Mr. Motley;}stely submitted
to the Senate, to be , little if arty more entitled
to respect than the vulgar thief and slanderer , •
whose false information he accepted. •
somrivsom VERSUS IST2LNTON.
Mr; JohnSon'etelaborate communication to
the Senate, on the subject of the removal of
Mr. Stanton ivill be found into-day's:paper.
More than 1:alf, of the message devoted to
a narrative of the circumstances attending
Mr. Stanton's removal, and
. the remainder is
given up to a statement of the reasons for his
removal. , nese reasons are stated to have
been two. i . The general reason was a loss of
- mutual confidence.
_Mr. Johnson states that
"as timn pansed, - mff - there was developed an
unfortunate ; differatice of ,opinion and policy
between Congress and the :President upon
this same subject and, upon the ultimate basis
which the, reconstruction Of, these States
should proceed, especially upen . the' question
of negro stifflage.”
This, to be mire, is not true, so fat•,,as re
gards th e assertion that the question; or pegro
suffrage was the especial and original grp'und
of differenee between the President and bbn-
Wm. This "Wortmate-difference," hOsi-:
ever, was the beginning of the alienation:l)6 l .
tween the President and his . Secretary. He
confessess that, from the first, he was deter=
mined that this difference should not be recon-:
ciled. This admission of his obstinate
purpose of resistance seems ( to be
made inadvertently, but is a very
important one. Mr. Johnson compliments
the members of the Cabinet who left 'the
Cabinet, in order to make a case against Mr.
Stanton whose sense of responsibility kept
.him__ in- his very _unpleasmat position.- The
difierenee of opinion on the reconstruction
measures constitutes "the general grounds"
upon which the removal was pased. The
"special ground" was the controversy grow
ling out _of the :New Orleans riot: The re
sponsibility of that bloody outbreak the Pre
sident labors tn throw entirely upon Mr. Stan
ton, but With Very partial success.
The lengthy discussion of the correspond
ence connected with Mr. Stanton's renioval
has, of course, nothing to do with the min
question. It is "Satan reproving sin," fur
Mr. Johnson to charge bad taste, or assump
tion of prerogatiie, 'or official misconduct
upon any Jiving being. Most of all fait absurd
for the •Prollident to manufacture capital out
of the aeseitp* that Mr Stanton wa-, opposed
be the Tenure of Office law. It was no rea
son whatever that Mr. Stanton should not
SW hound by WI provisions when the bill hail
epee become a Jaw. The point which the Pre
:Went here makes Wile strongly against
self,as it is based upon his lawless principle that
/to law h; operative of which be does not ap
prove. Mr. Stanton did it'or appr we the law
%font it wito outed, but when the Prosi-

dent undertook his removal in direct
tion of its provisions,,,lie :placed hinvelf on„
the side Of the law and asserted its power to
protect him.
Mr. Johnson 'evidently ' feels hinUelf on
delicate ground when he anderttikes to assail,
Mr: Stanton 'for an alleged 'Ohangd of °Pinion-
The memory of his own apostacy can never'
be very long . absent from , his mind, and he 19. ,
"laying an anchor to windward" for 'stinself,
When he We? with effeSied inagnanimitY
, ,
make Oat allowance tor a change of
opinion." Mr. Johnson need not assure the
E!ennte of that patent fact. No man ever
lived who needed greater allowance, in that
direction.
This message is less 'violent and abusive
than many of the Presidential produCtions.
it is carefully written to operate upon the
Senate, and'to induce that body to overlook
the law of the case, by introducing personal
issues and considerations.: It is to be pre
. Burned that after such an arraignment, Mr.
Stanton will be heard also, and that the
Senate will not act upon any such ex pante,
staterant as that made by the President.
When both sides of the ease have been
heard the country will judge fairly
upon . . the, personal issues betw wen Mr.
Johnson and Secretary Stanton; but the
- Senate must , be guided in its action by the,
simple consideration of the law upon the
added. The distinettat which Mr. JolnsOn
- makeii between a resignation and a removal
is the merest quibble. His request';
for a re
signation is a virtual attempt , at removal,
,and 'no one will be influenced by the sugges
tions and argunients upon this point of kin
subject,

DEITIOCRATIC BANQUET.
A couple oT weelieligo'n number of lead
ing Democrats 'belonging to i this city and
State tendered to Mr. William A. Wallace,
the 'chairman of the •Democratic State Cea
tral 'Committee, the complinient of a public
banquet The said banquet' came off at the
Continental Hotel, and as it received no gen
-1 oral' public notice at the time, the
managers of', the
."feed" yesterday oc
cupied two -al:-a-half columns of space
in a popular ,'-Sunday newspaper, with
a , reriort of the proceedings on the fes
tive occasion, aad more especially with the
speech of Mr. Wallace, which is reported in
full; and no doubt at considerable expense,
as it appears as an advertiseinent. Prom this
advertised report we learn that Colonel James
Page presided, assisted by . General Robert
Patterson and John O. James, Esq. Among
the one hundred and fifty banquetters who
took part in the festivity were - Hon. George
W. Woodward, Hon. William Bigler,' ex-
Mayor Vaux, Hon. William A: Porter, Hon.
*Charles J. Biddle and a number of other
leading gentlemen of the same political com
plexion. The, speech of Mr. IVallace, which
occupies two long columns of small type, is
'a very' creditahle specimen, taken as an oral
torical draft; , as a piece of Wise and compre
'
pensive statesmanship it scarcely does so
much, credit ;to- - its author. Mr. Wallace
was, of course, oblivious of the sharp prac
tices and the local issues by, which the
recent' ,Demdtratic victories in this State
were secured; arid he complacently accepted
the Compliment - , to Democratic principles;
and to Mr. Wallace, involved in the intioduc
tory speech of Colonel Page, when that gen
tleman attributed Democratic success 'to
Democratic principle in general, and to the
exertions of Mr. Wallace in particular. Mr.
Wallace's long-winded response to Colonel
Page's toast containo nothing that was new'
and much that has &en quite as well said in
much fewer words. Very considerable Space
is devoted to' the subject of Anande; but most
financial, editors could have put as much
substance into a short money article, although
bifi few could excel the orator of the evening
in sophistry and demageiguish pretence. It`
'was the old story of opposition to a
,Protective tariff, because, it' taxes„ the
poor man's tea, coffee, sugar and clothing,
but not one'word about the protection which
at affords him from the competition of the
cheap labor of Europe. It Was the old story
of insidiously exciting the poor man against
the rich by urging that the system of national
taxation favored the latter at the expense of
the fosmer; but industriously keeping out of
sight the fact that the income tax which, to
the class it reaches, is,perhaps the most bur
thensome and vexatious of all our national
exactions, reaches no citizen until he- ceases
to be an absolutely poor man, for taxation
listen incomes does not commence until the
tax-payer has a clear yearly income of a
thousandidollars over and above house-rent.
This logic must, have caused the-well-to-do
,listeners to Mr. Wallace to chuckle in their
sleeves; but it was not designed for home
'consumption; it was intended for the,foreign
market, a market that was 'not represented
at the banquetting table of the ,Continental.
Hence the advettisement in the Dispatch
of yesterday. , . ; '
But if these poor men who are , so artfully
appealed to, had no votes, and if there was
no probability that th 4 ever would have the
F right of suffrage accorded them—is anybody
:silly : enough to suppose that Mr. Wallace
would, have pursued this tine of argument?
Mr, Wallace,,hlmself, probeeds to settle this
doubt;' fro; after .getting; though with the
finitneiltif question, tie crosses Mason &
Dixon's line with his argument; and what a
ehangbief tone follows this step southward !
Be iiminediately, proceeds to show,• that the
best interests Of the ' South, and the country at
large, require ' the subjection of the laboring
classes and the 'elevation
. pf the ruling class:,

proposition is very,wordily demOnstrated, but

be declared that there were "Mister races

pat and more pithy.• ' Mr. Wallace is 11, gehui ;
in Deniocrat of the modern school. In ~tit
North he flattens and , clijoles the 'masses be 4
cause they have votes, and he does not 'hest
tate to excite 'discontent and ill-will against
capital, becOuse capital does not as a general
thing affiliate with's p illy that was in sym
pathy a ith men who attempted to destroy
the Union. In the South he defers from 11 ibit

THE CITY ICE BOAT.
The community, generally, will be glad to
know that the City Ice-boa was put to Work
yesterday morning, and went down the river to -
Newcastle. The information commtinicatedlo
this paper from several sources that no engi
neer had been appointeti , up" to Friday
last, was incorrect.,- - The engineer
waif appointed a weekligo e and -with the &it
•appearance of the ifeVere weather on , Thur, 4 l.
day lagt, abtile Measures were taken by the
Trustees to,get the' boat into service. 'f r id a y
and Saturday were .occupied in co-Ai ng An d
filling the toilers, • and yesterdt4. morning
the beat compaeyeed oprAvgoo. The
boat, in 'her preaciat . e ( ''.4dition, is said
to be , a powerful ice -breaker, • and
it is to ho hoped that ';itte will prove her di
tlency and the etergy of the Trustees, by
keeping the rivra open during the winter.
Had the severe snap of last Thursday con
tinued until yesterday, her qualities would
have been very severely tested, and the two
%precious days spent in getting crew, coal
and water
in
board would probably have
resulted .in presenting obstacles in her
way which wohld have required many
days to surmount. We are glad to know
that the TrUstees•have not been quite as dila
tory as was, at first represented,
,though many
business men will still• think that, at this
time a year, the boat should have been ready
to take the field at a few hours
'notice. There was an ardent 'admirer of
a certain general, during the war,who once
said, •"that young man has an impetuosity
which is almost demohiac." The impetuosity
of our worthy Ice-boat-men is of ftn, equally
high grade. If they succeed in , keeping the
river open this winter they will be entitled to
the thanks of the whole community, and
they will receive them nowhere more cor
dially than from the journals who desire to
urge upon them, as upon all branches of the
public service, the, necessity of thatenergetic,
timely and judicious expenditure Which is
the very ,wisest form of all public economy.

advertently spoke of it as the "Gettysburg
Orphan Asylum." It is scarcely necessary,
at this late day, to state that the National Or

Gettysburg, has no connection with the con
cern whose operations hav,o been ' , exposed,
afresh, by Mr. Van Wyek. 'Thai concern
was chartered, avowedly, for the benefit of
invalid soldiers, who were to be aided by the
grant of $300,000 out' of ten or twelve mil
lions. The Orphan Homestead is a thoroughly
patriotic, legitimate and valuable institution
and, in the words of: the rival shop-keeper,
"has no connection with the concern over
the way." ,

(Special Den:atoll to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
WsiiiirsterroN i December 14;.=—The despatch to
you on Saturday relative to the operations of the
Whisky Ring s ' produced no' little excitement
among the ringleaders here, when it became
known • leaterday morning. Your corre
spondent Was denoUnced bitterly for exposing
theirplans, and efforts were instituted to ascer
tain frOm whence the information 'waa derived,
but proved fruitless.
k They denied the accuracy of the statement
that the fond for corruption purposes was two
hundred thousand dollars, and' asterted that it
wax three , limes that amount. It appears that a
"Ring Tax" has been Wired on , all whisky
dealert throughout the country who approve the
method by 'Which the Bing here expect tb
control Congress; varying from two. Modred.
and fifty 'dollars pp to Live thousand, and this
has pinduesdli revenue of nearly half a million
dollars, to be nsed here' this winter in advancing
their schemes. "We will expend two million
dollars brit what our plans are pushed through
Congress," remarked ono or the
leaders yesterday. This. shows to
what extent they expet.t to go in
pushing forward their sebethes, and the . transac
tion bids fair to become one of the boldest move
monis ever instigated by corruptionists. A part
.of the fling left here last night for the purpoSe
of obtaining reinforcements and endeavoring to
silence, by mousy, certain loading journals
throughout Abe country, which have heretofore
strenuously opposed them.

its merits, nothing was done. .

Detitth of Ittfi Ao H. DILVEMPOrt.
A- telcgrani from New Orleans annotincea the
death; in that city, of the long po,pular young
comedian, Mr. A. H. Davenport. Tlie Crescent
City has always been a favorite but fatal resort
with - Mr. Davenport; he was always liked . by its
public, but his health was. never first-rate there.
Two years ago he lingered In the Sisters' Irospital
In that city, almost at the point of death, but
kind attentions spared him, at that time, although
it would appear that the disease, consumption,
which then prostrated finally Carried him' off. Mr.
Davenport's last engagement in this city was
during the Bummer season at the New York
Theatre, and his last appearance in this Vicinity
was made as Ran Trajtiird, in "Under the Gas
light" at th e Brooklyn Academy of Music . At
the time of his decease he was engaged as stage
manager at the Academy of Music in New
Orleans, and only a few evenings before
his death, appeared as Seripiger. He was
native of North Sttunfond, Connecticut,
and his real name was Adol
,
phus Davenport Hoyt. The little farm
house in which he was boin is still occupied,
we believe, by the kind mother with whom .he
always shared his professional earnings.
"Dolly's" first venture towards self-support was
made as a lawyer's clerk In this city, In the office
of Mr. Horace P. Clark, and if we are not mis
taken, hp even practiced at the New York
bar. But only for a brief time—his inell
nations were always for the stage, and his
vanity as an actor was much flattered by the ap
plause given certain amateur performances
that took place in a small private theatre located
next to Burton's old house in Chambers street,
hi which young \ Hoyt took part. He made a
semi-public appearance at the old Olympic
Theatre in 1851 or 1852, or thereabouts, as itoiaro
to the Juliet of Miss Jane Coombes, then also an
amateur of the same society.' Later, DoUy's
popular qualities and lively manners making
him a favorite, he was engaged at the Astor-
Place Opera Home, sabot under Thorne's man
agement, and from - that - became regularly 'in
stalled as a professional. He married Lizzie
Weston (the present airs. Charles Matthews) and
went to Philadelphia, where 'he remained for a
season and also became , a great favorite. • After
wards he returned to New York; whose habitual •
play-goers have alwaYs • looked upon him as
"their own." The hour of death' is not the time
at which to discuss a player's ability: but it may
be said that Mr. D.'s performances were gen
erally liked. Socially there never was a greater
favorite than he.

Mr.l3enjamin (Mo.) offered a resolution recit
ing that the President, in his late annual .utes
sage, had seen fit, in utter disregard of , the popu. ;
lar will, as expressed in the election of the mem
bers of the Fortieth Congress, to .recommend , the
repeal of the reconstruction , laws, the 'effect of
which would be to remit. hegovernment , of the ,
late rebellious States to rebel hands ; and abandon
the entire body of loyal men there to the .will or
traitors, and that it is eminently proper that the
Efouse should respond in emphatic terms to, this
extraordinary proposition; and resolving that the
House will never consent to tiike•este retrograde
step from its advanced position.in promoting the
cause of equal rights, nor to deviate', from its
fixed , purpose of putting all men; equal before :
the law. That there is no ressess doubt' that
the restoration of the rebellious States - in being- ,
sucteassfully.accomplished on a firm and enduring •
basis; and that no good reason exists why ..-
conternetion acts should be repealed: ••• . .
Mr. Kerr moved to lay the preamble and react-
Intim on the table. Negatived:. yeas, 82,-nays::
112, and the resolution and preamble were then
ad opted. Yeas 111; nays 32—a strictly party vote.'
