Comments of thc New York Press.
Raymond's paper, the Tunes, says:
The birth-day of Washington was
fittingly chosen for popular demon?
strations in favor of the Union. That
in this city was triumphant. That at
Washington, equally enthusiastic,
was even more significant, for
there the President himself uttered
"thoughts that breathe and words
that bum." That great effort of
wisdom and patriotism will secure for
him the gratitude of his own coun?
try and the approbation of the world, j
When this wonderful speech has ?
been attentively read and digested by
the American people, President John?
son will be as firmly established in
their confidence and affections as the
most popular of his predecessors.
The Herald says: Andrew Johnson
has taken up the gauntlet which the
Jacobins in Congress have flung
down. The "man at the other end
of the avenue" has shown his appre?
ciation of Thad. Stevens and his ra?
dical clique by the bold and uncom?
promising manner in which he de?
nounced them by name, in his speech
in Washington, on the 22d, as trai?
tors and revolutionists. He took
plain issue with them in honest and I
homely words. He stands for the
Constitution and the Union. His
enemies, he declares, are working out
another rebellion. The country, we
opine, will sustain the President in
this view. On the whole, President
Johnson's speech is bold, manly and
outspoken. More bold than any?
thing which Mr. Lincoln ever pro?
nounced, it is not less redolent of wit.
It is not as classical as Sumner, as
ornate as Phillips, nor as evenly ba?
lanced in its sentences as Seward, but
it possesses the sterling qualities of
frankness, courage and truth. It is,
in fact, a speech suited to the mau
and to the times.
The News th tis comments: The
name of Andrew Johnson is upon
the lips of the people in accents of
delight and admiration. Never, per?
haps, in the history of our country
have the words of any one man sent
such a thrill of hope and satisfaction
through '?ie popular heart as did
those br.;' e words of defiance that
the President, on Thursday, flung in
the teeth of the radical conspirators.
The masses are quick to appreciate
the merits of au act of great political
significance, and they have, as if by ?
instinct, measured the value of the
bold and determined sneech of their
Chief Magistrate. They recognize
in it a promise of redemption from
the tyranny of faction and fanaticism.
THE PEOPLE ADMONISHING AND IN
STRTJCTINO CONGRESSMEN.-The mail
is pouring in timely admonitions
from the people to those members
who had resolved to thwart the Execu?
tive policy. Representatives who,
three days ago, were eager for war,
are advised by their constituents that
the country desires peace-peace
between sections-peace between
those who claim to be Unionists in
Congress and the President, whose
devotion to the country needs no ad- |
ditional test. These healthy protests
from the people direct, will do a world
of good. They will indicate to those
who have courted division between
Congress and the Executive, that be.-,
tween faction and terror for the pub?
lic welfare the American people can
draw a ready and just distinction.

NEWS FKOM HOME.-The radicals
in Washington are hearing from
home by every mail, and all they
hear deepens their conviction that
they have made a great mistake. The
people elected their representatives on
platforms that pledged them to sup?
port the President and his policy, and
not to follow the crazy lead of Thad.
Stevens. The people do not forget,
and what the radicals now hear is
the commencement of a fire in the
rear that will grow fiercer every day
till they fulfil the pledges on which
they were elected.
[New York Herald.
Immediately upon the passage
of the Act of emancipation in
Missouri, its Legislature organized
the State Board of Immigration,
to open the way and invite the
industrious and enterprising of
other States to come to Missouri.
Governor Fletcher issued au ufucinl
address, which, with many interest?
ing facts about the State, attracted
attention; and an immigration com?
menced upon the close of the war,
reaching in six months from 50,000
to 80,000 persons, who have come to
make their homes in the State.

Another week of the session begins,
but with ns little prospect of the de?
spatch of .business as heretofore.
Were this the short session, it would
be within a week of its termination,
and, as yet, the wheels of legislation
are clogged by the efforts of Congress
to defeat thc President's plan of re?
construction. The war between the
President and Congress has begun in
earnest, but the Republican majority
could not, at the caucus on Friday
night, agree upon any plan of hos?
tilities. They took mealies, how?
ever, to save their elections.
Some members now say that it is
useless to pass bills for the President
to veto, and that, as their own
measures cannot be enacted, they
care for no other. Others propose a
continuous session till the expiration
of the Thir y-ninth Congress, to pre?
vent the President from appointing
his friends to office during the recess
of the Senate.
To withhold the appropriation bills
is another mode of annoying the
Executive, but the substantial inter?
ests of the country would revolt at
that, and few members who resorted
to it could be elected. There remains
but one mode, and only one-where?
by, if the Republican majority can
recover and keep the two-thirds
power of the Senate, the President
can be put down-to wit: impeach?
ment. The first thing to be done to?
wards this is to obtain a two-thirds
majority of the Senate. Several
modes have been suggested-one is
to create new States in sufficient
number for the purpose.
It was re-asserted to-day in the
Senate, that the Cabinet of President
Johnson is a unit upon all the mea?
sures of the President since his
accession. This includes thc veto.
Mr. Seward endorses every word of
the President's late speech, and we
have heard, as. yet, no remonstrance
against it from others of the Cabine*.
It is believed that the Gabinet will
adhere to Mr. Johnson, though Mr.
Johnson may not adhere to them.
Mr. Sherman has made a strong
speech in the Senate to-day, against
the scheme shutting out Southern
representatives.

Department last week amounted tc

The action of the caucus on Frida;
evening, in declining to take issn?
with thc Executive on an appeal t<
the people, meets with general favo
here, as will any and all efforts look

there was nevertheless a determina
tion expressed to stand shoulder ti

that may be introduced in Congress
and if the President sees lit to refus

More than half a dozen letters wer
to-day received by Repr?sentatif
McKee, of Kentucky, detailing on
rages against the freedmen of tin
State in various parts of bis distrie
In one case of the shooting of tw
negroes and robbing them of all the

him on one side, and then turned hi

In addition to tho audiences given

Steadman, McCook and Saxon, a
number kof old Democratic friends,
members of Congress from New York,

The steamers Arago and Hermann
have arrived, bringing advices to the
14th ultimo. We extract the follow?
ing items of tue news:
Lord Russell stated, in reply to a
question, that the Government was
not prepared with an act to carry out
the recommendations of the Select
Committee of 1864, on railway com?
panies borrowing powers.
A fearful gale passed over the
Southern coast of England. It is
expected that many casualties will be
reported.
The Taimes, of Monday, in a leader,
says:
"As the time draws near for re?
vealing the plans of the Ministry, it
pppears to become more and more
certain that the reform bill of 1S06
will consist simply of clauses lower?
ing the franchise in Boroughs to ?6
rating, and in Counties to ?15 occu?
pation. It would seem, unless he has
been sadly belied, that Lord Russell
has acted upon the advice of Mr.
Bright, and has, greatly daring, re?
solved to stake the existence of his
administration on the success of a
bill which shall give us ?6 for ?10
householders, and a ?15 for ?50
County tenants. We cannot suppose
that the Government believes that
such a bill as is now predicted will be
accepted as a settlement of the re?
form question.
"It is crude, violent and offensive;
it expresses no policy; it corresponds
to no aims. The conduct of the Mi?
nistry on reform seems to show that
they aro themselves conscious that
they are settling down. They yaw
from side to side, and roll and plunge
with every fresh gust and every pass?
ing wave; but such things are premo
nitary of disaster, and we can only
hope that if there is to bo a ship?
wreck, something valuable may be
left by way of salvage."
In the French Senate, on the 10th
ult., M. Rouher protested against tho
speech delivered by M. Boissy, in
Friday's sitting. Marshal Forey stated
that the return of the French troops
from Mexico would not take place as
speedily as appeared to be desired in
France, and he even advised that
fresh reinforcements should be sent
on. M. Rouher declared that Mar?
shal Forey had expressed in his
speech merely a private opinion, the
views of the Government upon this
subject being those contained in the
speech from the throne, and the
draught of the address.

Row IN THE TENNESSEE LEGISLA?
TURE.-A corespondent of the Louis?
ville Journal reports that this harmo?
nious and dignified body recently
broke up in a row. Of course the
accomplished Governor Brownlow
was at the bottom of it, and although
he was not on the surface, he was sure
to have his hand in the fire. The
Jo urnaVs correspondent relates : "The
franchise bill was on its final passage
It is said that a sufficient number of
its opponents refused to vote, reduc?
ing the number voting below a
quorum. Col. Mullins requested the
Speaker to reqnire the members to |
answer to their names. The Speaker
decided that there was not a quorum
present. Col. Mullins made some
reflection, which brought the epithet
"liar" from tho Speaker. Col. Mul?
lins returning the compliment with
additions, the Speaker threw his
baton at Col. Mnllin's head. Revol?
vers were drawn, and thc interposi?
tion of peacefully disposed members
prevented a disgraceful and bloody
fight. The Speaker then declared
the Houso adjourned.
A significant fact developed in tho
recent negotiations for a reciprocity
treaty between a committee of Con?
gress and certain delegates from tho
British North American provinces is,
that the colonies, through theso de?
legates, treated directly with our Go?
vernment, and not by tho interven?
tion of the British authorities, as
formerly. In the negotiations of tho
original reciprocity treaty, thc Com?
missioner was appointed directly by
tho Home Government, and was a
British functionary. The concession
to the colonies of the right to choose
their own representatives, and to
treat with us without that formal me- j
diation, is very much like a virtual j
recognition of their independence.
Outrages liy Negroes-A Reign ot*
Terror lu South Memphis.
The state of affairs in South Mem?
phis is such as to excite serious ap?
prehensions. Armed bands of ne?
groes, numbering from ten to thirty,
generally soldiers or ex-soldiers,
prowl about the streets, ' 'splitting the
ear of night" with their fiendish
carousals, committing all manner of
deviltry, and striking terror to the
hearts of many a defenceless family.
On Wednesday night, one of these
gangs wero seen at several places.
Their conduct shows very fairly what
the negro is, when conscious of su?
perior brute force, and armed with
the bayonet. About 10 o'clock, the
party, numbering about eighteen or
nineteen, entered the grocery store of
an Italian, oh the corner of Beale and
Shelby streets, and helped themselves
freely to the contents of a fruit stand
within. Three of them carried mus?
kets and accoutrements, and all were
dressed in full uniform, and had pis?
tols. After satisfying themselves
with fruit, etc., they went out on the
pavement and fired twenty or thirty
shots promiscuously. One of them
returned and fired at the store-keeper,
but fortunately did not wound him
seriously. Tho charge barely grazed
his side, and the pistol was so close
that tho powder burned his flesh.
Some policemen humed to the spot,
and arrived only in timo to see the
rear guard, with three muskets,
closing up the safe retreat. They
then proceeded to the grocery store
of William Ryan. The front door
was closed, but they went around.to
the back door, which was open,
placed a guard there, and proceeded
to help themselves to whatever struck
their fancy. Five or six customers
were in at the time. These were
quickly relieved of all their money.
Mr. Ryan himself was searched, but
happened to have no money on his
person except fifty dollars, which was
in a secret pocket and overlooked.
The money drawer was cleaned; what
amount was obtained we are not in?
formed. By way of assuring Mr.
Ryan of their power and soothing
him, they held a pistol close to his
ear and fired it off-very magnani?
mous in them not to blow his brains
out. Tliey took in all about five hun?
dred dollars' worth of goods, besides
the money, and then departed leisure?
ly. Such is tho reign of terror in
South Memphis, people close their
stores and houses early in the evening
to guard against violence; ami when
an instance of this kind occurs, they
are almost afraid to report it to the
authorities, lest double vengeance
should be visited upon their heads by
the authors of their wrongs.
