The President recently sent in a message, with communications from tbe Secretary of the Treasury and the Post Master General,recommending aa a question of necessary ex pediency that the oath should be modified. I am sat isfied that Congress will not make any change in this oath. An amendment has been added to a bill in the Senate, prohibiting tbe payment of salary to any one who cannot take the reqnired oath, and the Commit tee on the Judiciary of the House have determined to report against any modification of the oath. Mr. Sumner recently, in reference to this law enacting tbe test oath, congratulated himself that it was one of the wisest laws that he ever had any influence in enacting. ■ __ cBrcrnrr v nT i Taking everything into consideration, I am satisfied | . pT 0T THE " AH , i | tliat persons filling these offices at the South without TO DESTROY • i taking the oath are certain not to be paid during the ■ present regime here.

The leaders 101 ^their'^especU to the Presiden*! j of this party are determined to build up • party at the T , j 1 -' j South more or less in sympathy with themaelves, and the whole influence of the Government so far as they can hereafter control it, wiU be thrown in of the development of what they call the loyal element at the South.

The difficulty, however, is not so much in the President &s in the situation. The question really is not so muck. What can the President do V Suppose he wishes to derange his cabinet. Well!

M.—The celebration of the emancipation of the slaves of the District of Columbia took place to-day. Two regiments of eolored troops, and the various colored civic associations, with many other colored citizens, assembled in front of the Executive mansion, making a dense mass of colored faces, relieved here and there by a few whits ones. After the firing of cannon, and the playing of several martial airs, three cheers were given for tho President of the United States, who having been escorted to prominent positions by IT. S. Marshal Geordtne, ad dressed the assemblage as follows: My colored friends, I have nothing more to say to you on this occasion than to thank you for the com pliment you have paid £i proton ting youraglvcs be- iore me on this your day of celebration. I corns for ward for the purpose of indicating my approbation, and manifesting my appreciation of the respect that -is offered and conferred. 1 thank you for the compli ment and I mean what I say. I will remark, in this connection, that the time will come, and that too bo- fore a great while, when the colofifcl population of the United States will find out who have selected them as a hobby and pretense by which they can be successful in obtaining and maintaining power, and who have been their true friends, and wanted them to partici pate and enjoy the blessings of freedom. The time will.come when it will be made known who contrib uted as much as any other man,- and who, without being considered egotistical, I mar say, contributed more in. procuring the great national guarantee of the abolition of slavery in all the States by the ratification of the amendment to the constitution of the United States giving a national guarantee that slavery shall no longer be permitted to exist or be re-established in a State or within the jurisdiction of the United States. I know how easy it is to cater to prejudice, and how easy it is to excite feelings of prejudice and unkind ness. I care not for that, I have been eugaged in this work in which my all Iilu been periled. I was not engaged in it as a hobby nor did I ride the colored men for tho sake of gaining power. What I did was for the purpose of establishing the great prin ciple of freedom, and, thank God, I feel, and know it to bo so, that my efforts have contributed as much, if not more, in accomplishing this great national guar antee than those of any other living man in the States.

Tho rebellion , _ it down, and what for? Was it to destroy j this plan seems to be abandoned. Verilv, never! For what have all these , another idea was to merge aU parties into a new ! Conservative Unloa Johnson party, under the lead tile ’.in-pose of preserving tho Union of the J G f republicanism. This don t win either. An Butin what we have been contending for,j tllings are floating along in a sort of hap-bazard way. Some of the Conservative Republicans are trying to get up a now and improved edition of the Republican party, and the Democratic leaders hold to their old organization. Thus, substantially, nothing is done towards a fuBion. The Democratic leaders lie under such a load of obloquy for having opposed a successful war that it looks like they caunot lead the country. So that putting everything together,tho political organization that is to wrest power from radical hands does not seem to be very encouraging. In the mean time, while the supporters of the President are disputing among themselvea on een Tennessee aud the rest of : tion3 of for m, the radicals are busy flooding the ^Y:^r ePti0D ’ * Sd thttt ' Va3t e ' : South with campaign documents, and moving every *«....

Stephens* testimony before the Recon struction Committee is described in the Washington correspondence of a cotemporary as “the most dam aging To the South yet brought out.’* We have looked through the evidence, as reported by the Committee, without finding anything in the tone, form or *ub- stanco of his statements to sustain such an impres sion. So far from being “damaging to the South,” we are under the impression that the tacts and opin ions communicated by the distinguished Georgian are os favorable as any reasonable man could desire them to be, while they reflect credit upon the candor, and modest manliness of the witness. Much ol course depends upon the expectations with which we start upon the inquiry. If the view we take requires on the pail of the Southern people not only acquiescence, in the results of the war, but gladness that these results are not other than they are; if we assume that to prove their recognition of the Federal authority, and their loyalty to the Constitution and the Union, th$y must extol the agents and the means by which their rebellion was overcome; if we insist that their duty is, not to regard the people of the loyal States as fellow citizens, equals before the law, but as superiors to be abjectly obeyed; if these are the ideas with which wc set out in the examination of such a man as M. Stephens, then undoubtedly we shall rise from the task with the disgust which evidently in spired'the Tribune's dispatch. But all expectations and demands of this nature are in our judgment un justifiable. Instead of calling upon the Southern peo ple to glorify the men and the power that smote them, vanquished them aud punished them in the manner incident to war, we should doubt their sincerity and despise their spirit were they willing to do this thing. Grant, and Sherman, and Sheridan, and Meade, and Thpmaa have never been knowu to disparage the pluck ' veraaries ou thq battle-field; of the Union army bear no th . au I t/ ai r llie rebel Mol- ward its clafms to constitutional righfsTrainer meaulv accepting every condition proposed to it.* De feat should not entail forfeiture of aelf-respact; and that the South continus to respect itself, despite its disasters, is to our mind one ot the strongest proofs of its fitness lor restoration to the full privileges of the Union. , _ .. True, Mr. Stephens says that his opinions and tho opinions of the South generally, on the abstract ques*, tion of State sovereignty, have undergone no change. Why should they *? The sword cannot cut down opin ions, though it prevents their application, as in the case of the rebellion. The North has decided that there bhall be no secession; tbe South, having tried to secede and failed, submits to the decision ana accepts its consequences. ” ' " . the tact that tlie natiou cau lift itself j -■cl tk.y.iud iuterual wars and treason, and es- ] * t> hellion in Massachusetts was put down, . n M is-sacliu.setta out ol the Union and de- -;atc : When the rebellion in Pennsylvania , did tliKt destroy the State and put it ; iu?

Avrril 19 —The Herald’s Toronto special JS^TtoSmSiSonot the Fenians at Cornwall is rtUl pr^^ffig with closed doors. Th- •’"“'•"ere 5*^nvie.ted unless more proof ^ w _ What more can we askf Are wc to exact not only submission to our authority, but agreement with our opinions ? Are we to setup certain extra constitutional formularies of political faith, and to decree the civil and political damnation of all who refuse to subscribe to them V We may pro duce hvpocrites bv this process, but truly loyal citi zens never. It is enough ror the present purposes of the country that the South emerges from the struggle convinced of the futility of the plans and hopes with which it started five years ago ; convinced, too, that its interest is to be found in a hearty, unwavering and unreserved acknowledgement of the Union, its au thority and its claims—in an early adaptation of its industrial relations to the change produced by the abolition of slavery—and iu the abandonment, utterly and forever, of all thoughts of agitation, except as it may be carried on without the limits of law, and by means known to the Constitution. On those points we consider Mr. Stephens' exposition of the feeling pre dominant in Georgia eminently satisfactory. And m some of the more important of bis statements hs is justified by acts of tho Stats Legislator# in matters re lating to the treedmon. Nor can we trace any sign of inhersnt hostility to the negro in other than strictly civil relations. ‘’In dividually," Mr. Stephens is reported to have said, “I should not be opposed to a proper system of re stricted or limited suffrage to this class of our popu lation.” Beyond this, what could we of New York ask? A “restricted or limited suffrage” is all our own State concedes to its negro population; shah Mr. Stephens be quarreled with because he is not wilhng to go further 7 He is averse, moreover, to any action upon the subjec except by the Southern States them selves. "In my judgment," are his words, « >® * matter that belongs of constitutional right to the States to regulate exclusively each for itself. Y-l New York also holds this view. So does Connecticut and the North generally. Why may not Georgia cherish it as well as they? r ■ _ ,, .. „ Is there anything “damaging to the South, . then, in Mr. Stephens’ declaration, that it will not yield to negro suffrage or other amendments of the Constitu tion, as conditions precedent of readmission to Con gress? We think not. If tho South, never having beeu out ol the Union, is in tbe Uuion now. Us till# to a place in Congress is indisputable, »ubject only to the judgment of each House on the qualifications of its Representatives, individually considered. And what the South is entitled to, of right, ought not to be encumbered with any conflictions whatsoever. To talk of condition 8-precedent in tbe premises, is to convev the idea of a bargain, which Congress mayor may not conclude, according to its pleasure He must be morbidly sensitive who objects to the courte ous temper in which Mr. Stephens intimates that tke South will prefer an indefinite exclusion .from Con gress to admission purchased by the surrender of a constitutional right. . .. In two sentences Mr. Stephens presents the logical change of position should the North contone to In sist upon conditions which exclude the South from congress. “The Southern States would thus present themselves as wilhng for immediate Constitution, while it would be the Northern States opposed to it. The former disunionista would there by 1 ^ become Unionists, and the former ' prictical disnnionists.” The possible dilemma Is worth thinking about a little in advance. bTkThnBER, IIITLH MULL Oeneral Partners.
