Special to tba A.jocl.ud Pren: SERENADE to the president and cabi-net-responses BY THE SECRETARIES. Washington, May 23.—The Preaident and members of the Cabinent were serenaded tonight by the National Union Club, attended by a long concourse of citizens. The Presi-
dent said:
Fellow Citizens: Such approbation Is peculiarly gratifying and encouraging to me under the existing circumstances. All that will be necessary Is to persist In the support and maintenance of correct principles, and the day is not far distant when the American ; people will satisfy you that the good work you i have commenced is right, and it will so prove i in the end. [Cheers.| I repeat my thanks for
public
scribed by the President for the substitution of civil authority in the place of universal military rule in insurrectionary Stetes. In this plan two things presented. by the proclamation of the President, ami his instructions, are worthy of notice. First, that the organizing power is specifically and absolutely restored to the people who are loyal to the United States, and no others. This is in accordance with the views often declared by Mr. Johnson since the commencement of the rebellion, and under most impressive circumstances. Second, choice of delegates was not only limited to loyal people, aid none others, but constltutionaf guarantees were required. In respect to the emancipation of slavery, there was sound reason for such guarantees. There was a necessity of evidence of sincerity for the future maintenance of the Union. These views, expressed by the President in his message, received, and continue to receive my cordial acquisescence
and support.
Who aro loyal people is a question that ought not to lie difficult of decision. In thus distinctly recognizing the right of each House of Congress to jndge of the election returns and qualifications of its owu members, the President has conformed to the plain letter of the Constitution, it being the function of each House to judge of the election returns and qualifications of its own members. The obligation is Implied of taking testimony, weighing evidence, and deciding the question of membership. What testimony has been taken, or what evidence has been presented on the question, to either branch of Congress, or what judgment is to be given, is not known to me, nor have I the right to inquire. Besides the steps taken by the Executive to restore the control of the relations of the States, his annual message called the attention of Congress to the necessity of insuring the security of the freed men; reminding Congress that, while he bad no doubt that the General Government could not extend the elective franchise, it is equally clear that good faith requires the security of the freedmen in their liberty and their property, their right to labor and their right to a just return for it, and further that the country is in need of labor and the freedmen aae in iced of employment and protoctlon. In connection with this subject he further remarked that slavery was essentially a monopoly of labor, and as such locked the States where it prevailed against the in-
coming of free industry.
Free labor was the property of the capitalists, while men was excluded from employment or had but the second best chance of finding it, and the foreign emigrant turned away from the region where his condition would be so precarious, etc. These views of the President in relation to freedmen received and continue to receive my hearty concurrence. They have guided the action of the War Department, and substantially advocated in its annual report, in what I believe, deserve to conform to them. A bill was passed by Congress regulating the Freedmen’s Bureau, but the provisions of the bill did not meet the President’s approval. He believed the power conferred upon him, and upon agents, to l>e
your approbation of my conduct as a
man, a public servant. The President then re- appij^ \,y him to be unwise and unconstitu-
tireil amidst hearty applause. j tional.

Financial Failures.
New YORK, May 23.—Specials to the eveninp papers say that the politicians are stirred up by the continued removal of radical office holders, and the appointment of volunteer officers of the army and navy in their stead. The Committee of Ways and Means have agreed to the amendment of the tax bill providing that the lists of incomes shall not be published nor furnished for publication, but they shall be open to private inspection, in the
office of the collector.
The following is the extract from Napoleon’s speech at Auxene, to which is attached the esuse of the financial panic in England and
Xorope:
l tee with pleasure that the memory of the first Empire has not been effaced from vour minds. Believe me, for my own part, I have inherited the feelings entertained by the chief of mv family for tbis energetic and patriotic population who sustained the Emperor in good
as in evil fortune,
I have a debt of gratitude to discharge toward you. This department was the first to give me its suffrages in 1843, because it knew with the roajontv of the French people, its interests were my interests, and that I detested, equally with them, those treaties of 1815, which it is now sought to make the sole basis of our foreign policy. I thank you for the sentiments you have expressed toward me. Among you I breathe freely, for it is among the working population, both in town and country, I find the real genius of France. The steamer Tripoli, from Liverpool, antici-
pated, has arrived.
The steamer Louisa Moore, from Halifax, with the remainder of the England’s passengers, forty-two iu number, has also arrived,

General Fiske to-day made a haul of labor

In acknowledgement of the compliment, Mr. Welles said: I thank you for this compliment, which I suppose is to the Administration and its policy, which we are and all approve. [Cheers.] You need not expect any remarks from me, for I do not intend to make any. You are one and all for the Union, I suppose, and for the establishment of the States, These are my views. RESPONSE OF SECRETARY STANTON. The Secretary of War was next called upon, the band playing “Rally round the flag,” “ When Johnny comes marching home,” and other airs. Secretary Stanton said: Gentlemen: On the afternoon of Thursday. the 17th of this month, I received a note from the Secretary of the National Johnson Club, telling me that it was the design of the Association to serenade the President and his Cabinet, and that I would be called upon at my residence. Immediately on the receipt of this note, a reply was sent to tho Secretary expressing my thanks for the compliment, and declining the honor of the serenade. A aimllar compliment by the patriotic Aseociation of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ League had previously been declined. Two reasons induced my action. The last time a public speech was made from this spot in answer to a serenade was on the night of Friday, the 14th day of April, 1865. At that moment, when we were rejoicing over the downfall of the rebellion, one of its instruments was murdering Mr. Lincoln. You will not think it strange that a complimentary occasion fraught with such associations should be coveted. After four .years of war the authority of the Federal Government was established throughout the whole territory of the United States at a sacrlflce of over 3,000,000 lives ot loyal soldiers, and at a cost of over three hundred thousand million dollars. Nearly ..every household in the eighteen loyal States is mourning for its loved ones. A tax which may last for generations is laid on the food, raiment and necessaries »ef every family, and tho price of that daily increased. The twenty million of inhabitant* of the loyal States feel, and will long continue to feel what it costs to uphold their Government against rebellion. The office of President devolved upon Mr. Johnson ;on the death of Mr. Lincoln, on the 15th day of April, 1865. Thirteen days before that time Richmond, the seat of the rebel Government, had been captured, and six days later tho rebel commander in chief. Hebert E. Lee, was vanquished, and surrendered his command. By these rapidly succeeding events the rebel Government was overthrown, and the official authorities gave themselves up as prisoners of war. The President’s annual message to the present Congress thus states the condition of the country, and the question thereby imposed upon
him.
I found the State suffering from the effects of a civil war; the response to the general Government appeared to have exhausted itself. The United States had recovered possession of their forts, and their arnica were In occupation of every State which had attempted to secede; whether the territory within the limits of these States should be held as con' quered territory, under military authority emenating from the President as the head of the army, was the first question that presented
Itself for dsscussion.
The Secretary then quoted from the President’! message, concerning the reopening of eourts, and contended by tome to be just and expedient that the right of suffrage in the rebel States should be secured in some form to the colored inhabitants of these States, either as a universal rule, or those qualified by education or by actual service aa soldiers who volunteered for the Government. My own mind inclined to this view, but after calm and full discussion, my Judgment yielded to adverse arguments resting upon the practical difficulties to be encountered In such a measure, and to the President’s conviction that to prescribe a rule of suffrage was not within the legitimate scope of his power. The plan of organization embodied in his proclamation to the people of North Carolina, and Instructions to the provisional governor ot that Stale, exhibit the system and principles pro-
Thirty-ninth Congiesa—lst Session Washington, May 23. Senate—The morning hour was spent in the discussion of a bill to bridge the Mississippi river at Winona, Minnesota. At one o’clock the reconstruction resolutions were taken up. Mr. Sumner urged delay, believing the country had gained mueb by postponement al-
ready.
Mr. Fessenden thought they should be con-
sidered now.
A debate followed on postponing, during which Mr. Sumner said he did not think the business of the Senate in such a condition as to warrant adjournment before the latter part of July, and thought this ought to be reserved as the last subject before adjournment. Mr. Conness opposed the postponement. Thev were finally taken up and read. Mr. Howard explained the bill at length. Mr. Wade offered a substitute that no State shall make or enforce any Uw abridging the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States nor of any State, nor deprive any person of life, liberty or property, nor deny any person tho equal protection of the law. There shall be no discrimination between classes on account of disqualification for participation in tho rebellion or other
crimes.
Section three ignores the rebel debt, and maintains the public debt of the United States. The fourth section gives Congress power to enforce this law. Mr. Wade’s substitute was ordered to be
printed.
Mr. Wilson offered an amendment that representatives be appointed among the several States according to their respective numbers, and if the elective franchise in any State be denied any male citizen of the United States above the age of twenty-one years, for any cause other than insurrection against the United States, the basis of the representatives In such State shall be reduced in proportion. The amendment was ordered to be printed. Mr. Wilson offered a substitute that no person shall be a Senator og Representative or hold any office under the United States Government, who having previously taken the oath to support the Constitution, shall have taken part in the rebellion. Ordered to be
printed.
Mr. Wilson offered the following substitute: That debts incurred in aid of the rebellion are illegal and void, and no compensation shall be
made for the loss of slaves.

Enthusiastic meeting of Feuluns— Dates Fro ns Hoag Koag—Collision ou Board Vessel—markets. Sax Francisco, May 21.—Fifteen thousand Fenians assembled at the Peoples’ Park to express their devotion to the cause of Ireiandand to use their influence to heal the dissen, sions among the Fenian Brotherhood. The utmost harmony and decorum prevailed. Speeches were made by John Hamel, Colonel Walsh, of General Sweeney’s staff, and others. The brig Carl Ludwig has arrived with dates from Hong Kong to March 15. Sir Richard Graves McDonnell has arrived and been inagurated as Governor with great ceremony. The French coolie ship Hong Kong was seized by the coolies aboard of her. When the vessel was recovered from them she was discovered to be covered with blood and dead coolies. A collision occurred on board a vessel in which 100 Chinamen were killed. Mining stock continues much depressed .notwithstanding the yields of bullion are as large as usual and capital available at low rates of interest.

Praceedluga of Old School
Assembly.
St. Louis, May 23.—Aside from two or three cases, including the complaint against the Louisville Presbyteria, being put upon the docket for trial, the selection of Cincinnati as the next place for the meeting of the assembly, and a speech from Hon. William Jones, of Baltimore, in reply to Hon. Samuel Galloway, of Ohio, yesterday, nothing of special importance transpired in the Old School Presbytery. The trial of the Louisville Presbytery ease will probably commence to-morrow. In the New School Assembly the time was mainly occupied in the presentation of reports from the various committees and other routine
business.
The two Assemblies met together in communion to-night, for tho first time in thirty years. Addresses were made by several prominent clergymen from different parts af the country.

Mr. Chamber* desired to know wherein this bill differed from the Freedmen’s Bureau bill which the President vetoed. Mr. Elliot undertook to inform Mr. Chambers on that point, and explain the provioions of the various sections. The first section, he said, simply continued the bureau for two years, while the bill vetoed by the President was indefinite. He proposed, in conclusion, to move the previous ques-
tion.
Le Blond said there were gentlemen on his side who desired to discuss the bill, and he therefore hoped it would not be pressed upon ass age now. There were important features

The reports of Generals Steadman and Fullerton, showed the system as alreadv inaugurated as objectionable in every form and If those reports were true it was the duty of Congress to abolish the system at once, and leave the colored people to make their own living in the same way as the poor

Whole, Mr. Dawes In the ct-ir, and resumed ! e j t y amon g whom he had lived for
the consideration of the tax bill, commencing
with the paragraph on bank issues.
On motion of Mr. Morrill, the paragraph
by the President in bis annual message, that peaceful emigration to amt from that portion of country, the Southern States, it is one of the best means that can be thought of for the restoration of the harmony its possible interference with such emigration was the only chief objection to military rule, and by some it is thought that the influence of class legislation in favor of ■laveholding monopoly heretofore existing In the .Southern States would be strongly excited to prevent peaceful emigrations inth these States, and woulc exclude the laboring population of the North from that soil of exuberant fertility and friendly climate—that productive region embracing eight or nine States nearest the Gulf of Mexico; and that hence, civil rights in these States should be vigilantly protected by Federal laws and Federal tribunals, although the measures enacted by Congress for the purpose failed to receive the sanction, it has been adhered to by a two-ihirds vote in each House. They have now passed to the statute books, and it has ceased to be a subject
for debate.
Another measure or series of measures now pending before Congress merits a few brief remarks, viz; a plan of restoration or reconstruction as it is sometimes called, a plan reported by the Joint Committee;]! have not been able to give my assent; it contemplates an amendment to the Federal Constitution. It is urged by the abettors of this plan that the third section'is the vital one, without which the others aro of no value; iu exclusive action will no doubt command the feelings of many as a wise and just provision, but I am unable to so regard It because for seven years it bids Congress to exclude from voting for Presidential electors ail persona who adhered to the late Insurrection, giving it aid and comfort. No matter what may be the condition’of the country, nor what proofs of present or future loyalty may be given, an absolute bar ia to be erected for four years against a large class of persons. It is believed that the elements of change are now at work in the South, stimulating on one side to loyalty, and on the other tending to continue a hostile feeling. In my judgment, every proper Incitement to union should be fsetered and cherished, and for Congress to limit its own power, by constitutional amendment, for the period of four years might be deplorable in its
results to those who differ.
I accord the same honesty and perhaps greater wisdom than I can claim tor myself. As the proposed plan now stands I am unable to perceive the necessity, justice or wisdom of the measure, but having no place or voice in the body before which the measure is pending I disclaim any purpose to interfere beyond the expression of my opinion. Having thus dodared my views, as they have heretofore been declared, to those who had a right te know them, on the natural questions that have lately arisen and are now pending. I trust your purpose on this occasion is answered, and I shall be glad if these expressions may have any benefidal influence on a question, the right disposition of which le a matter of solicitation to every patriotic man,' and is deeply important to the peace and tranquility of the country, Recognizing the constitutional power of all co-ordinate branches of the Government, the legislative, judicial and executive, and entertaining for each the respect which is due from every loyal man they are entitled to and shall receive, accord ing to my beat judgment, the support which is required by that Constitution, which, after an unexampled contest, has been upheld and sanctified by Divine Providence, through the sacrifice of so much blood and treasure.

Mr. Randall spoke as to the necessity for revising the system of deposits in the national banks, as tne present system led to immense
losses to the government.'
Mr. Morrill agreed as to necessitv of siieh ' revision, declaring lie was satisfied that unless some relief were given to the national 1 banks they were in peril; he was willing to give some relief, he wishod the subject to come
up in its proper place.
The amendment was rejected, and no other material change made in the paragraph. The amendment relating to the income tax provoked a good deal of discussion, Mr. Pike laving moved an amendment re-enacting the present law, Mr. Spalding moving an amendment to impose an additional duty of three per cent, on the excess of incomes over six thous-
and dollars.
Mr. Ross offered an amendment, making the discriminative tax ten, fifteen, twenty or twenty-five per cent. Mr. Morrill opposed the amendment, giving it as his opinion that the tendency of such discrimination would be to represa enterprise and promote absentism. The debate was continued by Messrs. Spaulding, Hale and Sloan in favor of the amendment, and by Messrs. Morrill and Davis
against it.
Mr. Pike advocated letting the whole matter of income tax go over till next Congress,
leaving the law as it now is.
Mr. Spaulding withdrew his amendment, and the amendment of Mr. Ross was rejected. The amendment offered by Mr. Pike was
adopted.
Thia leaves the law as at present, with a tax of five per cent up to #5,000, and ten per cent, on exceaa of #5,000. The only difference la that the exemption of #600 is extended to
f1.000. The vote stood 67 to 42.
Mr. Anaconda offered an amendment to make #1,000 apply to the present year; amendment rejected. Among the deductions to be made is one estimating Incomes. There was added, on motion of Mr. Wilson, to losses actually ausUined arising from live shipwrecks, but excluding ail estimated depreciation of value. The Committee here rose and the Speaker presented a message from the President, in answer to the reeolution of the 13th of April, requesting a collection of the provisions in reference to the Freedmen, contained in the Constitutions of the Southern State*, and of laws of those Ststes, passed since the suppression of the rebellion, transmitting a report from the Secretary of the State. Refer-
red to Committee on Reconstruction.
The Speaker also presented a message irom the President transmitting a report from the Secretary of the Treasury, in compliance with the House reeolution, calling for information in reference to the clerks employed in the several Executive Departments of the Government. Referred to the Committee on Civil
Service.
Mr. Ketchum, of New York, presented a petition from George Hall and fifty-one others, asking protection against unjust State laws in
reference to insurance.
The House then took a recess till seven in
the evening.

Havana, May 19.—The French steamer France arrived on the evening of the 16th from Vera Cruz, with dates to the 12th, and from the City of Mexico of the 9th. The Esperanza of May 4, say* of all Juarez’s forces in the Department of Gnoraxerato, none of consequence remain, they having been dispersed, and travelera can pass in lety as far as Guadalexa. * The Eatafett* says the situation on the Pacific coast is daily becoming more alarming. There has lately been many alliances of revolutionists with fillibusters, and serious compli-
cations are feared.
From Oaxaca we learn that on the 28ta ult. the Austrian troops returned from their unsuccessful expedition against Peer Pierra Dias, having abandoned the town of Oaxaca. Yucatan—We are informed that troopa from Tabasco have signally defeated, near Cumatta, the Imperial forces under Colonel Lizardo, sent from Campeachy to invade Ta-
basco.
The Indiana have arisen, and have committed considerable havoc, they having forced their way through the Imperial line of defense and burned six villages, killing all the inhabitants. Havana—We learn that the principal theme of conversation is the suppression of books and newspapers, and all conversation other than relates to work by operati ves in ctger and other manufactories. This high handed measure Is increasing the discontent among the people, and, together with other tyrannies, is likely to bring on a revolt.

Burglars.—Some burglart entered the stillhouse of Mr. Henry Ayres, near Patoka, last I Friday night, and broke open the safe with a 1 sledge hammer. The thieves were unsnceessful in making a raise, as everything valuable i had been removed from the safe the evening oeforr. It is the second time an attempt at robbery has been made on Mr. Ayres. About eight weeks ago some rascals filiiMl the lock ol the safe with powder, and endeavorad to blow it open,but the attempt was a failure.—£pane-
ville Courier.
—Mr. George H. Burrows, late superintendent of the Toledo, Western and Great Western railroad, was presented by the employes of the road, at the Rockhill House, Fort Wayne, on the evening of the 21st, with a massive gold watch, costing #2,000. The watch is an imImportcd one, and is probably the finest in the West. Colonel De Hart, of Lafayette, made the presentation speech, which was responded to by Mr. B., after which the party partook of a magnificent collation, under the auspices, of Rumsey, of the Rockhill House. —As soon as a liberal Republican ia found to sustain the President against the Supreme Congressional Directory, the Evansville Journal reads him out of the party, and indulges in inuendoes and insinuations at his expense. Yesterday the Journal uttered the following: If, as it is rumored, our friend, Colonel Rose, has secured the postoffice at Indianapolis, he has received pay in advance for his effort in getting up a Johnson State convention, and can well afford to laugh at those who were disposed to ridicule his attempts in that line. The Colonel evidently understood what he was about, and made a good thing of it. Judge Kilgore is still standing with mouth open, ready to catch the first morsel that the Presi-
dent may toss to him.
We suppose Colonel Rose, Judge Kilgore, General Meredith, and all other Johnspn Republicans of Indiana are not so “ loyal ” in the eyes of the “ loyal ” party now as they were a
short time ago.

Professor Duncan, of Aberdeen, asked a lady to marry him; the answer was “No.” The aubject waa dropped, but they soon met again. “ Do you remember,” said the lady, a “ question you put to me when last we met?” The Professor said he remembered. “ And do you remember my answer?” “ Oh, yes,” said the professor. “ Well, Mr. Duncan,” proceeded the lady, “ I have been led to change my mind.” “ And so have I,” dryly responded the Professor. He retained his bachelor-
ship to the last.
The Field Before the Battle ot' Fredericksburg.—A rebel account of the battle of Fredericksburg, thus describes the advance of Burnside’s army: “ It was now past 9 o’clock, and the sun, mounting up the Eastern sky with almost a summer power, was rapidly exhausting the mist. As the white folds dissolved and rolled away, disclosing the whole plain to view, such a spectacle met the eyes of the Generals as the pomps of earth can seldom rival. Marshaled upon the vast arena beneath them stood the hundred and twenty-five thousand foes, with countless batteries of field guns blackening the ground. Long triple lines of infantry crossed the field from right to left, and hid their western extreme in the streets of the tittle city, while down the valleys descending .from the Stafford Hights to the bridges, were pouring in vast avalanches of men, the huge reserves. For once war unmasked its terrible propositions to the view with a distinctness hitherto unknown to the forest clad landscapes of America, and the plain of Frederickburg presented a panorama that was dreadful in its grandeur.” Generals Bedford, Forrest. John C. Brown, Cerro Gordo Willliams, and Basil Duke have been invited to attend a tournament at Clarksville, Tennessee, on the 30th of May, and are expected to be present.

DR. FARNSWORTH, DISPENSARY FOR PRIVATE DISEASES, .Vo. 22 ffest Maryland St., between Meridian and Illinois, Indianapolis, Indiana.
From an imperfect knowledge of the nature and treatment of YENerkal DISEASES, and a natural repugnance to that kind of praettoe. the regular practitioner very generally turns off his patients with a defective treatment, to pass through the different stages of the disease with comparaUvely little relief, while the special • 1st, who has devoted years to the study and treatmar.t of Venereal Diseases can readily effect a cure, and save the patient pain and money. Having made this branch of the profession especial study during a Urge and varied practice of several years. Dr. Farnsworth la now enabled to treat Syphilis, tn all its stages, upon a ay|tem different from any contained inbooks, and one which he acaaaxrexa to effect a ecu. As the Doctor's remedies differ widely from those in general use, and originated in his own discovery, ha feels fully Justified in saying that hels the only Physician in the city who can remove syphilitic virus from the system, and cure disease in Its latter stages. Also, G0N0K8HEA, GLEET AND STRUfURES permanently cured without pain or inconvenience to the patients. 1MPOTENCY OR SEMINAL WEAKNESS attended with Diernal and Nocturnal Emissions, will receive special attention at this Dispensary, and a CURE is guaranteed inevery case.
