Gen. Miüapkj commanding, wns reviewed at Washington on Tnesdav, and a magnifioent display was ruado. TLe sevoral oorps oconpied six honra in passing the stand ocsupied by the President, the Cabiuet, Gens. Grakt and hkiíman, and other distinguished offi cers. The Array of Tcnnessee and Georgia, Gen.

JCS" Tho radiual 'irieud (?) of the negro are olamoriug around President Johnson, demanding that he extend the right of suflFrage to negroes. Will these inen point out Ihe section of the Consti tution which coufcrs any right upon the President to s;iy who shall or who shall notv-otu 'm a spgle State of this Union?

Now that the w;.r i.s over, atid the " war power," a sort of india rubber concern, considorably contracteil, we conchide that the President, a strict constructionist, will hardly gratify the radicáis, and that the freedmen of the South, with their brethren in the North, will have to wait the regular action of the legitímate governmentsof theaeveral States n which they reside. E The Berlín correspondent of the London Morning Sar, in reportiug the proceedings of n meeting held May 2d, under the uuspices of the Americana resident at the Prussian capital, in honor of the uieiuory of Abraham Lincoln, says : . " The Rev. Dr. Taitan, of New York, delivered a poweríul funeral oration on the deceased President Lincoln, whone foul aesassination has filled the whoie civilized wirltl with horror. I regret that epace forbids me to enter into the details of the discourse, whioh was ïnuch adraired, and spoke to the heartg of all piesent." L3C Report naya that Jkpï.
