Both Houses of CongTeaa hare passed a Con

Anricca?. Representative# shall Vo apportioned

Bx-Qovernor Tony
Left thla place on Tuesday last for Washington
City. He has gone there, not on
any bneineea of an important publio eharacter,
but mostly on matters of private
concern, ha has Informed us; and will be
away for soma two or three weelca He
was accompanied by other gentlemen from
^reenTiue.
Much good may reault to the country at
large front hi* vUlt to the Capital, a* ha la
one of the few of our men arhe can mediate
between the two oectiona, commanding aa
he doea the eateem and conaidcration of
both 8eceder and Union man ; indeed, we
have thought that the intcreata of the South
etrongly demanded Ida attendance In WmKington
upon the firet asaembling of Cougreae
laat December, notwithatandlng there
wae no probability of an early adtuiaaion
o| the members from the Sonth, as he might
have effected considerable reeulte in the
conciliation of the disintegrating elements
of the land.
Freedmen.
We have taken especial pains to' Inqnire,
and have been informed that the Freedmen
throughout the District are entering into
and making contracts very readily for the
year; and, too, are working as aasiduonsly
as could be expected of them. We knew
this, that the signs are in their favor; for
we have much fewer idlers and wood-chop*
pen about the streets than formerly ; aud
the pig-styes and chicken-roosts do not
eomplain as they hare been wont to do.?
The masses of them seem to hire some
feint idea of their real condition, and are
acting accordingly, blank forms of eon*
tracts being in demand.
We hsT# read reports from different
parts of the State, end also from other
States, and it is cheering to learn that the
former slaves are going to work with a zest
worthy of a more enlightened class. The
opinion formed sf the Negros,that they could
not, in Iheir new condition, be induced to
labor, is, we think, being gradually dispell
ed; no they cm to bar? more thought
and reflection than has been generally ae.
corded them. This reflection, no doubt, hag
beeu forced upon thetn by the stern necessities
of their condition ; \>ut, then, it matters
bat little what may goad them to thsir
duty, so it is done.
Every encouragement should be offered
and held out to this class of our^opulation
to stimulute them to work, as they cannot
be expected to be anything but a die
advantage to themselvee and to the com.
munity rs long aa they remain unemployed.
They should be well paid, and good care be
taken of their children; an interest should
be manifested in their contentmort and
proaperily, and they should be, like chll'
dren, borne with in little and even in
more considerable misdemeanors. They
should also, as opportunities admit or pre*
rot themselves, be taught to spel!, read and
write r for no State or nation can maka any
progress, or even maintain iu> ground,
whosa masses are so profoundly ignorant
and ualeltered. If these thing* ara dona
tha condition of tha black*, era many year*
roll by, will )>a materially improved, and i
especially will thi* be *o aa light and intelligence
break* In upon their dark and can* '
traoted understandings. j

Such an amendment the President alsosuggested
would remove from CongreM all

thns the number of Representatives to which
they would he entitled in Congreaa weuld
depe'-d upon the number which they con*
fcrred the right of suffrage. ,t r
The President, in this connection, express- ?
ed the opinion that the agitatiou of the ne
gro franchise question in the Diatriet of
Columbia at thia time waa the mere eater. '
ing wedge in the agitation el the question
throughout the States, and waa illtimed,
uncalled for and calculated to do great
harm.
He believed that it would engender enmity,
contention and strife between the two
races, and lead to n war between them. J,
which would result in great injury to both,
and the certain extermination of the negro
population.
Precedence, he thought, should be given
to more important and urgent matters, legislation
upon which waa essential for tho
restoration of the Union, the peace of the
country aud tha prosperity of the people.
