' '-i.?iMiiinrfgnamrnff mumu From Washington. In the Senate, on the 14th, Mr. Fessenden, from the Reconstruction! Committee, reported an amendment! to the Constitution, tb be submitted! to the State Legislatures for ratifica? tion, providing that Congress shall| have power to make all laws which! shall be necessary and proper to! secure to citizens in the several States! equal protection to life, liberty andj property. Mr. Wilson, from the Military Committee, reported the bill to fix the peace establishment of the United States army, with amendments. As reported, it omits the veteran re? serve corps, eighteen regiments of| which were provided for originally. It places the number of infantry re? giments at fif,ty. Discussion was re-| sumed on the Constitutional amend? ment in regard to representation. In the House, Mr. Whaley offered al resolution, which was referred to the| Committee on Foreign Affairs, re? asserting the Monroe doctrine, andi re-declaring the resolution passed at| a former session against Fi encl* in? terference in Mexico; and further,! that the President commence pro-l ceedings for an alliance with all the! republics on this continent to resist} aggression. On motion of Mr. Latham, the! Commissioner of Public Buildings was directed to have painted the escutcheons of the States of West Virginia aird Nevada on two of the square glass panels on the ceiling of the Hall of Representatives. A resolution that Colonel James M. Johnson, claiming a seat as a member from Arkansas, be admitted to the floor, after debate, was laid on the table by eight ?majority. Mr. Bing? ham, of the Reconstruction Com? mittee, reported the additional Con? stitutional amendment guaranteeing the protection of all persons in the different States. It was proposed to make this the special order .for Mon? day next, but objection being nlade. on motion of Mr. Stevens, the amendment was recommitted. The House proceeded to the consideration of the Michigan contested election case. A special despatch to the New York News, dated Washington, February 14, says:* The Cabinet meeting on Friday was protracted to an unusually late hour, but nothing was certainly known of its deliberations outside until to-day. It is now ascertained that the speech of the Emperor Na? poleon engrossed a good deal of at? tention. It was regarded at first as belligerent and threatening in tone rather than pacific, because Napoleon intimates that there are certain French interests in Mexico which he has to defend, and because it may be inferred from the language, when correctly translated, that the French will not be withdrawn while those in? terests may be deemed to be in danger, either by Napoleon or Maxi? milian. Mr. Seward, however, it is understood, demonstrated that while all this was quite true, yet that those interests were already amply secured by the firm establishment of the present Mexican Government, and that neither Napoleon nor Maximilian would consider those interests as menaced, or as being in the least danger, so long as, absolute neutrality or/our partis observed. Reference was also made to the fact that Na? poleon has been satisfied upon that point, and that the arrangements for the removal of the French troops, of which Napoleon speaks, are being made in pursuance of an understand? ing, and that there is to be no change in our policy in consequence of such removal. This explanation is under? stood to have been perfectly satisfac? tory to the President and to all the members of the Cabinet, except one, who urged that the Imperial speech breathed defiance and war, who, it is said, expressed his belief that the French would not be withdrawn, and who urged an immediate and large increase of oun army on the Rio Grande. No such step, however, will be taken. The army on the Rio Grande will be diminished instead of increased, and orders were issued weeks ago which will insure in the future the observance on the frontier ?of perfect neutrality. It has been ascertained to-day that with one or two exceptions in each committee, the members of the Committees on Foreign Relations regard the speech of Napoleon a-s entirely satisfactory and pacific, and as expressing Na? poleon's honest desire ;ud intention to withdraw the Frene). troops on no other condition than neutrality on our part. They are in favor, too, of the maintenance of- strict neutrality and of conveying to the French Go? vernment the assurance th?t suchl will continue to be cjir policy, if suchl assurance lias j^B^already been| given. GREAT .INO IN Thc President's Political Position. The following is the substance of a sonversation which took place yester jday morning, between the President land a distinguished Representative, ?concerning the President's speech of Wednesday to the negro delegation which called on him: The Representative said some per? sons felt, and others would probably, I tor personal or factious ^ends, endea? vor to show that the President was taking sides against the colored peo? ple, or was at least less favorably dis? posed toward them than be had been. The President responded that no one could fairly and truthfully do that. He was now what he had al? ways been, the friend of the pooi and the lowly. He had never broken faith with anybody, and if his past cqufse and his former language were not a sufficient guarantee that he | meant well toward the colored peo? ple, and would endeavor to secure to them a fair chance, nothing he could say or do now would give any such uarantee. ' He thought that it was best to speak p* ^???^???????i did not b?ii?vc lii?l ?Irr^WPIHBBJI making by some who call themselves the negro's special friends, to force uni? versal suffrage upon the States was wise or judicious. He thought it tended to embitter feelings, while our jffort should bo to cultivate calmness ? ind confidence. He believed it would 'result in great injury to the prospects if the colored people. He did not IcnoW whether Mr. Douglass and his friends expected him to talk to them; but he thought it best to take the op? portunity to state his' views. He would repeat that he was, if he knew his own heart, the colored man's i'riend. He had great faith in the .people, and would endeavor to carry lout their will. The Representative then said that some persons might take or profess o take the President's speech as au ndication that he was at variance with his party friends, and that some ithers might endeavor to found upon it the charge that he was preparing to go over. The President smiled, and answer id that if the party which* opposed his election indulged in any great ex? pectations on that score, they were likely to be disappointed. He might] liffer with individuals of what waa called the Union party as to the] means to be used, but he considered^ himself in general accord with that (party as a whole, in the ends to be reached. He was not a party man, md he meant to sink the partisan in the patriot. But, so far as he under? stood the sentiments of the Union party, he was in general accord with it, The Representative finally, after further conversation, said something [about the distribution of offices, jabout executive patronage. The President remarked that he was the servant of the whole people, but he could not entirely forget by what party he had been placed in his present position, and supported in ?the administration of tho duties en? trusted to him. He proposed to fight his battles within the lines of the party which elected him to office. He might differ with some of his friends, and he should feel wholly at liberty to so differ, and to state the ground of his contrary belief or opinion; but he considered himself identified with the great Union party and had no desire or intention of being found outside. He intended to exercise; his own judgment, but was ready to yield it when he found it was not sustained by the judgment of the people. He had no sympathy with those who opposed tho war for the Union, and while he hoped the whole country would approve#the en? deavor to restore the Union, he could not forget that some men favored and some opposed the c-rse of the Union when it was in peril.- Washington (February 9) Correspondence of the iBuston Advertiser. A NATIONAL CONVENTION PROPOSED. IIt has occurred to us that if the peo? ple of the two sections could confer together, and understand each other, better state of feeling might be reached. We think a National Con? vention of all catholic-minded men, in Washington, might lead to bene? ficial results. And we propose to our cotemporaries of the press the idea o? holding such a convention at an early day in the National Capital, where delegates should attend from all parts of the country, without respect to their past party affiliations-the com? mon ground between them being simply the Union in its true spirit, and the Constitution in its fair sense, and fraternity throughout the length and breadth of the land. For such a party a Leader stands readV, and do we err in thinking the whole popular heart would vibrate in - osponse to a truly national manifeuo from such an asaembly^-Chn. Laesville Chronicle. - OF WAITING.-In Louisville, ago, Jefferson Pearce de tyment of a bill from a Mr. id as the other declined, id demolished twenty - ?anes of glass in that The accused] b3n years at law! TL and he had SIGNS OF COLD WEATHER.-Punc//| notes the following signs of a cold] ?nap. It is probably sharp winter weather: When you think that you don't! Iknow whether the first bell has been| |run? or not. When it strikes you that your watch] [is at leasat ten minutes fast; and so iff |you get up when the minnte hand "at a quarter to," you'll be in capitalj |time. That if you could only be taken! out of bed to be washed and dressed! in a second by machinery, yon[ ?wouldn't mind getting up. That another five minutes' sleet would make you all right for the day.I That it's three minutes to the half-l hour, and you'll get up exactly at tho[ half-hour. That it's just one minute past th? |half-honr, so you'll get up exactly at] the thirty-five minutes. IThat as five minutes won't make! much difference, say get up at the] quarter punctually. The following considerations willi |?also lead you to the conclusion thatjj the winter has come at last: That you can't get Up without hot] water. That you don't think that water is* ?quite hot. That he had better bring a little! more water, please, and take care it's] quite hot. That you can't get np until your] ?clothes are all ready for you. That a little snooze while James isl bringing the clothes, (and while bel fetches some more hot water,) will do] you all the good in the world. That when you do get up, you| won't be a second dressing. SThat you'll get up in exactly two] minutes from now. That (the two minutes having pass-1 ed) you'll just settle what you're] going to do to-day, and then get up. That, if that's the first bell, you'v< Jplenty of time; and if it's the second*,! it's no good hurrying up now, a^| you're late anyhow. The consideration that is generally! ?required before making a move ont of (bed, is in itself a pretty sure sign oi| the presence of winter. MR. FOOTE KEDTVTVUS.-The New York Times, of the 12th inst., has e review, four columns long, of the] book recently published by ex-Sena tor Foote, called "Scylla and Charyb-| dis." Who would have supposed that anybody in the world would at bach so much importance to anything written by Mr. Foote? The secret lies in the fact that he roundly abuses his late associates in rebel? lion, tells dinner table stories of their lifferences, denounces Mr. Benjamin, |Mr. Seddon, and nearly all of Mr. ~)avis' advisers, as fools or scoun-? Irels, and professes to have been I"very like" a Union man throughout ?tlie war. It would not surprise us if] Toote were elected to Congress from1 |New York next fall. That is one| Jtate which he has never yet repre Isented either at Wrashington or Rich-! mond.-Richmond Dispatch. GREELE?'S ULTIMATUM.-Greeleyl Iis willing to compromise rather than] fall out with the President. Hear] him: "Establish honestly and fairly the! Irale that all men who possess the rc-J lquisite intellectual and moral qualifi? cations shall thereupon be recognized] [members of the body politic, and the! ?restoration will forthwith be completc.l Say, if you choose, that a man must! read, or read and write, before he canj vote; say that he must have paid al tax, or even that he must be the] owner of real property-and we arel content, so long as you interpose no] barriers to the acquisition of what iever you require, even though its instant effect should be an exclusion] .of ninety-nine of e* ry hundred] [blacks from the electoral body." The friends of Messrs. Stanton, (Harlan and Attorney-General Speed, say that these gentleman will resign Itheir positions in the Cabinet, if the? President vetoes the negro bureau bill. If the radicals think that their pro-| [posed measures are to the South 'blessings in disguise," the South Iwould no doubt thank them to make their disguises a little less impene? trable. -Prentice.
