By order of the Deui S'nte Committee. WILLIAM A. WALLACE. Chairman. Baxjima L. FOSTKR, Sec'y. - • Harrisburg. Jup. 9, I3fi6* Billy* Button, of the nigger equality organ, heaps a'l sorts of Tile < pilhets on t te heads of the "copperheads" as l:e calls them —who do not endorse Mercut's notes on the n*ro suffrage, and other nigger-bills, now before Congress It is quite certain that the President will veto all those mea sures, tending to place the negro on an. equality with white men ; either in the district of Columbia, or out of it. • He will therefore come in for a full share of Billy's anathemas. According to the Black Re publican logic, of the past four years this Billy Button must be one of the detesta ble "copperheads," of whom we have heard io much. It ran thus: To oppose the President is to oppose the Government. To oppose the Gov ernment is to be a "copperhead." BiHy is opposed to the President, ergo, Billy is a "copperhead." "Down wftb the sneaking Copperhead !!'' The "Freedmi-ii i Bureau'* Bill. The bill extending the powers of this outrageous negro supporting machine—this incubus upon white labor—this pocket picking outrage upon the working tax-pay ers—passed in the Senate on lhe-25th by a vo.te of yeas 37 ; nays 10, The bill is >f the most outrageous char acter. It provides for the formation of twelve districts, each containing one or more States, under the control of a Com missioner and Assistant; the latter to have six c!e-ks—live first class and one of the second class. Each district is to be divid ed into sub districts composed of no more than one county each, to each of which is to be assigned an agent, with two first class clerks. Three million acres of "good land"' in Arkansas, Mississippi and Florida, are to be reserved from sale or settlement by white men, and arc to be'pareelled out in forty acre, lots to negroes Under the home stead pre-emption laws. The rich sea Islands given to the negroes for three years, without compensation to the owners The commissioner is authorized to pur chase such lands as may be required fox the negtQcs di-pendeut on the Government and cau-e to bo built thereon suitable asy lums and scho >ls. The Secretary of War is empowered to issue provisions, clothing, fuel and otln-r supplies, including medical, stares and transportation, for the supp>rl of the negroes. Whenever there is any •distinction made on account of race or color by State or local laws, police regulation, custom or prejudice, and negroes arc de- Died any civil rights or immunities, the commissioner shall extend military protec tion and jmisdiction over all such cases, and the agents of the bureau are required to take jurisdiction of, hear, determine, and punish the white aggressors with fines, im prnonmcnt, &c. Before the final vote was taken on this infamous bill Dav;s, ofKy., protested the measure was unconstitutional in proposing to invest the Fieednieii's Bureau with judi cial powers; because it authorized the President to assign toatmv officers the ex ercise of judicial powers ; la-cause it de prived the citizens of the right of trial by jury in civil cases; because it was a scheme devised to practice injustice and oppression upon the white people for the ben> fit of the negroes an I to engender str fo between the two races; because it involved a pro fligate, wasteful unnecessary expenditure of the public treasure. It remains to be seen whether the House will pas the bill; then whether the Presi dent will sign it, and then, whether thc people—whose money is thus to be equan -dercd—will approve and endorse it. Fanatical Treachery Admitted. 3hi New \ ork Times, (Republican,) is forced to acknowledge that the action of the blirck republicans in Congress differs widely from the policy laid down >n every State which elected the black republican ticket in iSovcmb* r last, and adds: "We are quite confident that if the prop o*iti ns of Mr. Stevens, Mr. Bingham, and others, had been adopted as the doctrine of the Union party in this State last fall, the "Opposition' would have elected their tick et by over fifty thousand majority." Here is not only an admission of the in famous cleat practicid upon the people last fall,but an acknowledgement that those who call t hem-elves "the representatives of the pqople in Congress, do not represent the people at aIL CINCINNATI.

A deputation consisting of representa tives of the colored people ot various States called this morning at the Executive man sion, and had an interview with the Presi dent for the purpose of expressing their views on the questions now being consid ered touching upon their general interest, and of ascertaining the ideas of the Presi-1 dent in this same connection. NEGRO ADDRESSES. George J, Downing, a representative for the six New England States, first address ed the President, stating the benefit which would accrue from the confeiment of the rights and privileges of citizens of the Uni ted States upon the'colored people. He for the right of suffrage not onlv in this District, but throughout the land. Fred. Douglas i.ext spoke, and said they were riot here to enlighten the President as to his duty, but to show respect and to pre sent inbrief the condition of the colored race. The amendment abolishing slavery he desired should be enforced. lie said the colored race were subject to govern ment, to taxation, to draft, and to b*ar the burdens of the State—and they desired to be endowed with the right of exercising some of the privileges of citizens of the Government. TII* PRESIDENT'S RKPLT. The President, in teplv, said that he would make no speech. The best way was ,to talk plainly and distinctly. If be had not given evidence in his past conrse of his friendship for the colored race there was nothing now he could do to that end. He had said, and he repeated it here, that if thej colored man could find no Moses to lead him out of bondage, he would be that Moses, and lead them to the land of prom ise and liberty. But he was not willing under the circumstances, to adopt a policy which would lead to the shedding of their blood and the sacrifice of their lives. He believed that if the policy which some are persisting in at the present time was car ricd out it would result in great danger to the colored man lie said, "suppose thi colored man now in the South could, by a magic wand, be enfranchised to-morrow, what good would result to liitn?" lie ex pressed the grounds on which lie was op posed to slavery, and said that it had now been abolished and a national guarantee given in regard to it that could not be re voked. He stated the evil result which would accfue by forcing a principle ot the extention of suffrage upon the people either in this District or a State in opposition to the expteseed will of the majority. At the conclusion of his remarks Fred. Douglas said he would have to refer the great question to the people. The l'resident responded, saying, that he had great faith in the people. GOV. CUR TIN'S ANNUAL. MESSAGE, Governor Curtiu's annual message was ead in both Houses of our State Legisla ture soon after his return from Cuba. It is a very lengthy and comprehensive docu ment ; giving a detailed statement of the military affairs of the State during the late war, making a number of sensible sugges tions to the Legislature, and having but very little to say touching politics. We give an idea of its leading points in the fol lowing summary, which wi I probably be quite as acceptable to our readers, as would the message in full : The payments last year were $5,788,525 16, leaving a balance N0v.30, 1865, ot $2,- 273,668 14. The State debt Dec 1, 1365. was $37,- 476, 258 06. The extraordinary expenses growing out of the war, and due from the United Slates is about four million dollars. He thinks the Legislature should stop tlie appropriations to private and local char itics. The taxes on corporations arc anequal, and should be revised. He thinks the State tax on real estate, and the local tax on bonds, mortgages, loans, &c.. may be repealed. lie recommends tbat in future all acts of incorporation shall he void unless the com pany organize within a specified time. The war has been brought to a close. Under the first cdl for troops —75,000 in 1861—the quota of the Sta e, 14 regi ments, were tarnished for three months Eleven additional regiments were also mus tered in ; making 2 ,979 myi At the extra se-sion of the Legislature in April, 1861, the Reserve Corps was au thorized t" be raised,and 15,856 men were mustered into Slate service, and so contin ued until in July,when they were mustered into the United States service. Their cost to the State was $855, 444 87. Later in the year ilie State furnished 63 regiments, numbering 89,048 men for three y ears. In 1862 a draft was ordered by the Uni ted States, and executed by the State,which furnished 15,000 men. Volunteers to the number of 40.383, and artillerymen to the • number of 1,358 were also furnished. In 1863,43,046 men were furuished— mostly to fill old regiments. In 1864, volunteers and re-enlisted men to the number of 91,704 were furnished— the latter numbering 17,876 In 1865, under the system of consolida ting regiments the State firnished three regiments, seventy companies, and alto get he r 25 790 men. In 1862 when a rebel raid was feared, over 25 regiments of militia were mustered in and rnarehed to the Maryland border, I but were mustered out within two weeks after the call. In 1863, on the occasion of the rebel in vasion under Lee's army, 3J regiments, 15 i companies, 11 batteries and 7 battalions were mustered in as * emergency men," j and for three and six months ; some of whom endured great privations, and ren dered important service—saving the State ! Capitol from destruction, defending Car lisle against a superior force, marched into i Mary'an 1, attacked the enemy, and some, were at Gettysburg, in Ohio and Virginia. I In 1864 the rebels made a raid into the i State and burned Charabersburg, and re lief for the town is recommended. The number of troops furnished the ser vice from Pennsylvania, during the rebel lion may be stated as follows : Dming the year 1861, 130.. r )94 do do 1862, 71,100 do do 1863, 43,040 do do 1864, 91,704 do do 1863, 25.840 Total during the war, 36*2,284 J This is exclusive of militia and enlist-i ments for the navy. ! 1,242 soldiers'orphans have been adrait i ted to the schools provided for them, and j the claims of 604 others allowed ; and further attention to this plan is recommen ded In 1863, when the emergency men were raised, the government claimed that there was no appropriation which could be legal ly used to pay them ;but President Lincoln through Secretary Stanton made a pledge that if the State would advance the money to pay the men, the President would, when Congress met, ask for an appropriation to reimburse the State. On the faith of this promise the Governor gave his word to bankers and others that he *vould a>k the Legislatiue to so that the piomise of the President was fulfilled, and the banks ad vanced the required 5um —5671,476,43. But when Congress met, Mr. Lincoln did not do as he agreed, and Congress refused to appropriate the money because the Pres ident would not ask fi rit and explain the circumstances. The Legislature is now re quested to press this matter upon the at tention of Congress, aud endeavor to realize the suin so unwarrantably withheld. Great injustice has been done to men who were induced to nlist under promise of SIOO bounty—a part only of said boun ty having been paid, and the balance un justly withheld. The legislature is asked to endeavor to sec that the wrong be cor rected. He recommends a historical painting in memory of the Gettysburg victory. Maryland lias proposed that the States , join in a Cemetery for those who fell at Antietam, and he approves the plan. The State agent continues to collect claims for soldiers free of charge. Attention is invited to the reports of ihe . Departments, and especially to that of the Surveyor-General." Relief to the wounded soldieis is rccom . mended. As soon as all the regiments are mastered , out, their Hags will be received with ceie • monies—winch was to have been done as , they returned from the field. A new State Arsenal is suggested. Reference is made to the President's . death. lie refrains from.di-cussing national pol [ itics, and edorses Johnson's annual mes sage. It is cause for congratulation that peace has returned. lie knows of no dfficulty with other na . tions that may not be amicably settled,and hopes that '"long years of tranquility and happiness are before us," ) - Passage of a 1)111 to Make Negroes Citizens of the United States.
