COUJSI It IN:
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1873.
the ntr.si m.vrN mennaise.
On our fir«t page will be found a full
report of President Grant's message,
which was presented to Congress yester
day afternoon. It, 1ms grown to bo a cus
tom for partisan papers to laud the mes
sages of the President representing tboir
party, and for the opposition press to de
nounce it in terms as thoughtless and in-
accurato. In looking over tho points of
the message v/o are struck with its recom
mendations for what is deemed nocessary
legislation, and feeling that our greatest
curse is too much legislation, our first im
pressions nro against the document. Pass
ing over tho subject* of tho Spanish
troubles, the (intrigus, the Vienna Expo
sition, and oth<*r accompli shed facts, in
cluding Iijh views on the Ooolio trade and
Cuban slavery, it might bo well to enumer
ate tin' suggestions made requiring legis
lation
first- it recommends a commission
for distributing the amount of tho Geneva
award.
Second It recommends a new court,
to bo composed of three judges, for the
settlement of internal war claims.
Third Tt ndvi’O's the abolition of con
sular courts in Turkey and Egypt.
fourth - It presents the case of San
Domingo, asking for United States pro
tection. and this question wo opine will
create r.oino excitement dining the pres
ent (Jungrt r.H. Wo can sec no roason fur
the Cubed States assuming the caro of
the semi-savages in San Domingo, pur-
lioularly as it docs not exorciso too much
care for tho lives and property and
rights of many of its present citizens.
Shin Domingo protected means Suu Do
mingo annexed.
fifth Ho recommends two Constitu
tional amendments, the first of which wo
( insider wise und nocessary. It is cus
tomary in Congre.-K to couple a good bill
with a hud one, Siaraeso twin fashion, and
the death of one means tho death of the
"•her. Often an omnibus bill is pro
moted with tho appropriations that are
necessary and other moasuros that nio
I'hjcctiouuUo. but as the President has
not the discriminating power tho now
amendment would givo him, ho is corn-
polled lit the close of a session to sign
the whole bill or clog the wheels of gov
ernment.
Sixth llo asks for tho Amotion of suit
able buildings in Washington for mem
bers of the Cabinet ; mid as they only got
$K,()00 per minimi and lmvc to onlertain,
v o think the suggestion a good one, par-
l vularly us tho President lias $<50,000 a
\eiir, with house, servants, furniture, and
commutation for state dinners.
Sevonth lie desires that an act he
passed prohibiting national hanks from
paying interest to depositors. We cannot
see the roason for, nor the justice of this
measure ; nor do wo think the President's
forte is llnauco, in view of his state
ment, that “tho country cannot have per
manent prosperity till specie payments ho
reached." The gold and silver standards
are us false as they are pernicious, and no
legislation can force specie) payment un
less, indeed, the Government should bo
able to redeem its bonds and currency
with that kind of exchange. In this cou-
nootion it might bu well to look at the
ITeddonts eighth recommendation, viz:
(he establishment of “postoftlce savings
depositories Tho motive of this is, no
doubt, good, hut wo consider it, unwise,
as it would certainly ho unsuccessful.
Such a measure w ould do uioro to breed
panics and produce money stringencies
than two Wall stroats, for every deposit
placed in tin* l ands of tin* Government
would he an actual withdrawal from circu
lation and a eking up” of that amount.
The great error of our present bunk
ing system is its semi-go vornmontnl
character, aud wu can hardly recon
cile this suggestion with the President’s
recommendation for a free hanking sys
tem. which with proper guarantees to the
bill holdnr is the one thing noodod, ex
cept. indeed, it be the necessity for con
vertible bonds, and tho payment of im
port duties in currency, on neither of
which subjects has tho President touched.
1 lie ninth great recommendation, if we
cun so specify it, is tho necessity for the
repeal, or complete remoddleitig of tho
pre*u*ut bankrupt law, which is as onerous
as it is unjust.
Tenth Ho recommends tho establish-
mg of a National University at Washing
ton Wo might look favorable on this
m« iiire, if its faculty were made tho
judges alter a imihlculator’s examination
of the mental qualifications of Congress
men, and !’»x u standard for the ad
mission to seats of our law lmikets as
they now have for Treasury clerks. And
why not ?
Eleventh The tiuusportatiou question
received oonhidi ration, but tho President
seetut'd to thick tho necessities for such
improvements South were of minor im
portance, for ho has not mentioned any
of our great projected canals. Ho has,
however, after advising the admission of
< olorado as a State, recommended the
building of an irrigating canal from the
eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains to
the
ttu* river we do not learn, aud wo should
like to know, ns we are under the
pression tho river named rises in
Rocky Mountains. We presume,
*>\er. it is to run east from Dontrul
we do not hesitate to pronounce it a i
stupendous humbug, and wo doubt not |
the President has been imposed on by j
somo Western speculators.
The Message in tho twelfth rooommen- |
dation wisely asks for a law removing all
disabilities from every person opposed to
the Government tinting the war. It is
but just to General Grant to say that ho
boh tried to got this most just measure
through for years, and now we Lope it
may be successful for tho sako of justice.
Having received only a synopsis of tho
message we aro loath to givo our opinion
of it as a whole. It contains many sug
gestions that rouse opposition in us at
once,for wo do not consider them broad or
statesmanlike, and cortuinly not in accord
with the President's reputed chatacter for
sound common souse. On tho other
hand, the message in wise in many of its
Heggestious, aud their adoption would bo
for tho public gooJ. Economy is certain
ly not its spirit, as it looks to tho outlay
of large Bums for many of tho improve-
mentfl suggested, but then tho
improvements with tho exception of tho
(’dorado canal would add to tho realty
of tho Republic. While its tone is liberal,
and there is an absence of partisan spirit,
it contains much in accord with tho now
and dangerous doctrine of centralization.
Its is tho brilliancy of the Capital obscuring
the Stalo, till tho citizen in its glare for
gets tho Coimnonw'jalth. Of course Con
gress will carefully weigh the suggestions
of tho message, and incorporate some of
them in our laws; it is to ho hoped they
will bo the measures tending to tho benefit
of the people of every section, and tho
judicious expenditure of tho people’s
money.

From the Montgomery Advertiser, of
tho I'd, wo take tho following :
A serious affray occurred on Perry
street, near tho market house, about four
o'clock yesterday afternoon, in which one
negro was killed outright, another badly,
if not mortally, wounded, and a little
white boy, Juhnuio Johnston, received a
llesh wound in the leg, and a white man,
named Campbell, was badly shot in the
breast. Mr. Cliff Noble was shut in tho
arm, aud another person, whoso name wo
did not loam was shot in tho leg. Wo
could hoar rumors of ull sorts upon tho
Htroeta respecting tho origin of tho dif
ficulty, most of which wore wholly at
varianco with all others. One report is
that a nogro commenced a brawl with a
white man and struck him, first with his
list and afterwards with a stick. The
police interferred, and owing to the press
found it nocesHiiry to use tboir clubs,
whereupon some few negroes drew their
pistols and commenced un indiscriminate
firing, to which a number of tho white
inou present were not slow* to respond.
About tw’onty-livo shots were tired, with
the above result.
We wore told by Sheriff Strobncli, who
reached tho Beene of action shortly after
the riot eomraonced, that tho original
quarrel, out of which nil tho subsequent
lighting proceeded, was n purely personal
matter, entirely disconnected with poli
tics. Johnnie Johnston, ho said, had but
just, gone nround to the postoffice to mail
a letter, when ho was so unfortunate as to
receive the wound before mentioned.
A third report is that a drunken negro
drew a pistol, declaring lie “intended to
kill all the d-d rebels he could,’’and pro
ceeded to oxoeute his threat by shooting
Johnnie Johnston, who stood near him.
A bystander shot tho negro, and the shout
ing booumo at once promiscuous, if not
gonornl.
Enter.—There were four negroes killed
and wounded.
Tho Republicans carried the city ticket.

there was a good deal of illegal voting.
Threo Democratio Counoilmon were elect

“Tho abovo vote shows that those so-
oallcd Democrats who voted for Faber
on “personal grounds" very generally vo
ted tho whole Radical ticket, perhaps on
the same grounds. Take tho vote, an
alyze it, ward byword, and this conclu
sion will he inevitably reached. The
whites of this city are stronger in votes
than tho blacks. The latter stood squarc-
iy together and received in addition
enough of the pale faced allies to enable .
them to hoot and yell triumphantly ovtr i IJ /
tho streets of the copitol city last night.’*
