Newspaper Page Textbefore the Senate, for their euaslderslion daring tho prvw, Manion, protocol* oalonlatod to bring to so end these justly existing, nod loa£ exist ing, controversies. Ara not advised of thtfection of the Cbiasso Government epos Uta labor and suspicious traatv which was recently celebrated with its planipotautiariea at this capital. Japan remain« a theatre of civil war marked by religious incidents ud political eeveritios, peculiar to that long isolated Empire. The Er eeutivw has hitherto maintained strict neutrality among the beligeronts, and acknowledges with pleasure that it has been frankly and felly sustained tn that course by the enlightened eon eurenoe and co-operation of the other treaty powers, ria: Great Britain, France, the Nether lands, North Germany and Italy—Spain having recently undergone a revelation marked by ex traordinary unanimity and preservation of order. The provisional government i-stabliahed at Madrid has been reeognixed, and the friendly interests 'which has so long happily existed between the two countries remain unchanged I renew the recommendation contained in my communication to Congress, dated the 18th of July last, a copy of which accompanies this .Message, that the judgment of the people should be taken on the propriety of so amend ing the Federal Constitution that it should provide— a Ist. For au elcetiou of President and Vice- President by a direct vote of the people instead of through the agency of Electors, and making them ineligible tor re-election to a second time. 2d. For a distinct designation of the person who shall discharge the duties of President in the event of a vacancy in that office by the death, resignation or removal of both the President and Vice-President. 3d. For the election of Senators of the United Stales directly by the people of .the several States, instead of by the Legislatures; and, 4th. For the limitation to a period of years of the terms of Federal Judges. Profoundly impressed with the propriety of making these important modifications in the Constitution, I respeotly submit them for the early and ma'ure consideration of Congress. We should, as far as possible, remove all pre texts for violations of the organic law, by remedying such imperfections as time and expe rience may dovolope, ever remembering that the Constitution, which at auy time exists, until changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all. In the performance of a duty imposed upon me by the Constitution, I have communicated to Congress information of the state of the Union, and recommend for their consideration such measures as have seemed to me necessary and expedient. If carried into eliect, thev will hasten the accomplishment of the great and beneficial purposes for which the Constitution was ordained, and whicb.it comprehensively states, were: to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the’ general wel fare, and secure the blessings of liberty to our sei yes and our posterity. In Congress are vested all legislative powers, and upon them devolves the responsibility as well for framing unwise and excessive laws as for neglecting to devise and adopt measures ab solutely demanded by the wants of the country. I.et us earnestly hope that before the expi ration of our respective terms of service, now rapidly drawing to a close, an All-wise Provi dence will so guide our counsels as to strengthen and preserve the Federal Union, inspire reverence for the Constitution, restore prosperity and happiness to our whole people, and promote “On earth peace, good will to ward men.” ANDREW JOHNSON. •-*.« Congressional. Washington", December 9.—Senate : The Senate refused, after a few paragraphs, to hear the President’s Message read. Sumner’s Georgia bill is as follows: | After premising that the Legislature failed to comply with the requirements of the reconstruction acts, by omitting to exact the required oath, and did things utterly unjustifiable and requiring the interven tion of Congress, the bill declares the existing Government provisional only, ami in all respects subject to the para mount authority of Congress to abolish, modify or control the same until the Leg islature complies with all the requirements of the reconstruction acts and adopts the fourteenth amendment, and subject to the fundamental condition that no change be made infringing on the right of suffrage of any class of citizens. The bill directs that the Governor elect shall call the General Assembly at Atlanta, on or before April next, excluding, unless relieved by Congress, all who cannot take the pi escribed oath. The Governor is also empowered to sus pend or remove from office State or muni cipal officers, and appoint others in their tead. Finally, the President is ordered to place at the disposal of the Governor such portion of the army anil navy as will be necessary to preserve life, property, peace, and a free expression of political opinion. House.—The House passed a bill re lieving Judge Moses. Contrary to the universal custom, the House tabled the message instead of re ferring it to the Committee of the Whole: and passed a bill directing the Virginia election to be held on the 4th Thursday in May.

The Message is an able document in its way, and shows up a great deal of the Andy Johnson “My Policy.” The late hour at which it came in precludes an extended notice, and perhaps we will refer to it in the future. No Perroriiiiiucc. We regret a misapprehension in re gard to the purposes of John Temple ion, as to his appearance in Augusta last evening ami to-night, with his great double company, in the produc tion of “I'mlcr the Gas-Light.” He, passed through this city last night, e.i route to Atlanta, where he gives’two entertainments, and thence he goes to Macon, where he will likewise give two performances, after which he re turns to Augusta. Os date, etc., the public will be duly advised. A Visit to the Houghton Institute. Through the courtesy- of Martin V. Calvin, Esq., wc enjoyed, on yester day, the pleasure of a visit to the Houghton Institute, of which he has been the very efficient Superintendent since October last. The motives which prompted our visit at this par ticular juncture are explained in the fact that yesterday had been set apart by our City Fathers to visit the Insti tute in their official capacity, as the custodians of the noble charity which endowed and inaugurated this school. A few minutes past 12 in., his Honor, Mayor Russell, accompanied by Aldermen Tutt, Allen, Spaeth, Sibley, and Clark reached the In stitute, and were assigned prominent places of observation in the Boys’ De partment. Col. John Milledge, Su perintendent of the Board of Educa tion for Richmond county, also graced the occasion with his presence. The ceremony of reception con cluded, the Superintendent summoned successive classes of the pupils under his immediate charge for examination and recitation in spelling and reading. It would consume more space than we have at our command this morning were we to attempt to individualize as to the merits of the several pupils who were thus thrown under our im mediate observation. Making allow ance for the native modesty and ex citability of their youth, they each and all proved themselves entitled to the plaudit of “well done !” From thence the honorable visitors were conducted to the primary (male) department, under the tuition of Miss Kate E. Parmelee. The pupil* of this division of the school, in the varied exercises through which they were conducted by their accomplished teacher, evinced marked proficiency for their years. It was at once per ceptible that more than ordinary care and attention was bestowed upon their culture, and that the lady who directs their studies possesses a most accurate conception of the best appliances “To rear the tender thought.” The next point of interest to which we were introduced was the depart ment (intermediate) presided over by Miss Mary Coffin. The promptness and correctness with which the pupils went through the several exercises, conducted by their teacher, were re flective of the highest credit alike upon themselves and Miss Coffin. In earnestness and devotedness to her avocation, Miss C. evidently ranks with the foremost in her profession. The primary department under the supervision of Mrs. Russell next claimed our attention. In this we were gratified at the promptitude manifested by the scholars in their examination, and no less pleased with their very excellent deportment. With a teacher possessing the amia bility’ and qualifications evinced by Mrs. R., we are sure that the pupils committed to her care will be Well instructed. Another division of the primary department, under charge of Miss Holiday, was visited. Her scholars likewise exhibit evidences of th i care and attention of an instructress Hav ing their good and advancement at heart. We next visited the Grammar De partment (female), under the super vision of Mrs. Calvin. The render ing of the exeu-iscs in this depart, ment were highly satisfactory. The intonation of the reading of the Mimes were of a character to enlist our warmest admiration, and wo here re cord it, alike to the credit of teacher and pupil. At tliis point the different divisions of the school were united, and joined in singing one of their sweet and ap propriate little hymns. Aller which Mr. Calvin addressed the scholars in a few pertinent remarks, referring to the honor which had been conferred upon them by the visit of the City Council in their official capacity—■ something unprecedented in the his tory- of free schools in Augusta- -and concluded by- introducing to them his Honor, Mayor Rl ssbll. Mayor Russell promptly respond ed. He had not contemplated ad dressing the School ; but would do so cheerfully as a duty. He congratu ted them in having such kind and good teachers; was glad to see them so happy. He encouraged them to get understanding—get wisdom ; counselled them that the All-Seeing Eye of God was upon them; to shun the follies and frivolities of the world ; invoked the blessing of God in the Salvation of himself and the children. The Mayor having concluded his brief address, the School united again in an appropriate hymn, which was rendered with pleasing effect. Col. John Milledge, Superintend ent of the Board of Education for Richmond county-, addressed the Mayor and Councilmen briefly, regret ting that hitherto the public had ren dered such little encouragement by their presence at the various free schools in the city on similar occa sions, and urged an interest in this matter, as a stimulus to the youth connected with the various schools. Dr. Tutt, as a member of the Com- j mittee on the .Houghton Institute, addressed the School in a genial and pleasant manner. He returned ac knowledgment of the very great pleasure the exercises had afforded— did not remember an hour spent more agreeably in a great while, and inti mated that it would not be his last visit. A few minutes after the conclusion of Dr. Tutt's remarks, the School was dismissed, and the happy scholars took their departure, their ’ coun tenances reflective of peculiar grati fication at the occasion which they had been so anxiously looking forward to. As Mayor Russell and the Council withdrew to Greene street, the happy boys made the welkin ring with “Hurrah for Russell,” which com pliment was graciously acknowledged by His Honor. We had intended to speak some what in detail of the building of the Institution—its appointment, adapta tion, etc., as well as in reference to the organism of the School—its divi sions, grades, and teachers, but the press on our columns of other matter forbids this pleasure. In taking leave of this subject for the present, we must be permitted to express our high appreciation of the occasion here alluded to, and return our grateful acknowledgments for the pleasure derived therefrom. Have Confidence. . To those who have taeii depositors in the Augusta Branch of the Freed men’s National Savings Bank, we say, don’t be alarmed. Do not be misled by evil-disposed persons into the very unwise policy of withdrawing your deposits unnecessarily, and under ap prehension of a loss of your savings. The National Savings Bank, of which the Augusta Branch is a component part, is well managed in its affairs. Every’ month the trustees of the bank —gentlemen who arc known to the whole country—examine into all its business; see just what is done with the money; know just what its seen, rities arc and where they are. Except the Actuary, Cashiers, and Inspector, who devote their whole time to the work of the Bank, there is not a single salaried officer. There was never a Bank in the country, so extended and doing so great a work, carried on at so small an expense. The funds as fast as they accumulate are deposited at the Bank of which Mr. Henry D. Cooke, of the house of Jay Cooke & Co., is President. Mr. Cooke is chairman of the Finance Committee of this Company and Mr. W. 8. Huntington, Cashier of the First National Bank of Washington is a member of the Committee. By section 7 of the ByLaws it is provided that‘‘the Finance Committee under the direction of the Board of Trustees shall exercise a general su pervision and control of all the funds, securities, and property of the Com pany, to direct as to the temporary deposit or loan of funds and as to the investment thereof.” Under this section, then, moneys are invested in the test bonds or se curities of the United States, by direc tion of the Finance Committee and the Board of Trustees. ■ .I w K< antiful Fnncy Good*. In great variety, at two Broad street Flfly-Mevew Delian. With a taxable real estate of over deven million dollars, and a white population of i Bear thirty thousand, the city of Saralmah, by -übkcription of her citizens, raised the sum of <Mlar» as a donation for the future support of the widow and children of Policeman Rebd, who died from the effect of wounds received in the riot in thut city on the 3d of Novemlier last. Wc append the sar castic apostrophe of the .Vurs on this subject: Fiftyiseieii doHttra to console the widow and hi r children tor the loss <>f nlitubaad and father. Fifty-seven dollars to dry their tears. and place thsm beyond fear of want in the future. Fifty-seven dollar, is the value set upon the life of a policeman. Verily, if we rely upon «»/• charity to “cover a multi tude of sins,” when we come to render up our accounts of the deeds done in the body, we shall be weighed intlic balance and found terribly wanting. We wonder that the po licemen do not, as did one of old, betake themselves to sackcloth mid ashes, and wring their hands and cry aloud—Oh, Savannah! Savannah ; Would to God we had died for thee, that thou mighst contribute fifty-seven dollars for the future supporlof our families! Urave Mealing. The Macon Journal <fc Meesenyer mentions a case of yrave stealing. One colored man digs a grave to bury his deceased child, and before he can do so, another individual inters the body of his child. No. 1 proceeds to disinter the plant of No. 2, and leaves it on the top side of earth, to be buried by the city authorities. A i/rowmf-less case of stealing, is it not? A Ikemand for Sailors. The Savannah Republican of the Bth alludes to the scarcity of seamen in that port, and makes the following quotations of wages paid : To Liver pool, able seamen §4O advance, §3O per month ; West Indies, able seamen, §35 advance, §3O per mouth; to River La Platte, §6O advance; coastwise, from §ls to §2O advance, §3O per month. Wc may state that there is a probability of the advance to Liver* pool going higher. Terrible Reaction. David O. Bank-, of Easton, who had lived a bachelor sixty-five years, and a hermit for the past twenty years, recently made love to and mar ried a spruce widow of about thirty years, with five “responsibilities." In view of this illustration, we think it ratliev a risky business to bachelors for them to postpone matrimony to old age—the reaction is rather heavy. Sometimes they are apt to get entirely too repentant for their youthful short comings. Convicted and Sentenced.—To Major A. B. Ross, Clerk of the Supe rior Court, we are indebted for a list of the convictions and sentences at the November term of this Court: Bob Richardson, colored, found guilty of rape, sentenced to twenty years in the Penitentiary. Ed. Williams, colored, indicted for larceny, plead guilty and was sen tenced to imprisonment in the county jail. Susan Gilbert and John Lamar — both colored —and the latter a preacher, “so-called”—were found guilty of mur der —the infanticide of their mutual illicit offspring, and sentenced to the Penitentiary for life. Cornelius Wilson, colored, con victed of larceny from the house, was sentenced to imprisonment in the county jail. Josephine Slater, colored, put upon trial for burglary at night, entered a pies of guilty, and was sentenced to imprisonment in the oounty jail. Collins Watkins and Butler, colored, found guilty of burglary at night, were sent to the penitentiary for five years each. Sam Armstrong, convicted of bur glary, went to the penitentiary for five years. The Superior Court has been ad journed to the second’ Monday in January next. — Macon -Tour. <6 Death of Joseph Law.—We have never been called upon to discharge a more melancholy duty than that of announcing the death, on last Sunday, at 11 o’clock a. hl, after an illness of several months, of Hon. Joseph Law, of this city. A greater calamity never befell this community by’ any similar event. He was greatly beloved by his friends, and revered and respected by all who knew him for his many noble traits of character, and especially for his Christian virtues, which shone out in every act of his life. He was the father of our city, and, in his death, there is a vacuum created, which, it would seem, can not bo filled. — Bainbridge Argus, sth. | N THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED 1 States for the Southern District of Georgia.
