SYNOPSIS OF THE PRESIDENT’S MES
SAGE.
We make room for a comprehensive
synopsis of the President’s Message, de
livered to Congress on the 2d instant:
The message opens by a reference to
the financial crisis, the Grangers’ move
ment, and the Virginius matter which,
it says, is in course of negotiation and
likely to be amicably and honorably ar
ranged.
It refers to the Vienna Exposition,
which was creditable to the artisans of
the United States, to the reception of
the Western Ambassadors by the Empe
ror of China, and to the need of further
legislation to suppress the Coolie trade.
It recommends a commission for the
purpose of auditing and determining the
amount to be paid for losses erased by
the Confederate privateers.
It refers to the Mixed Commission for
determining claims between British sub
jects and American citizens, and asks for
an appropriation to pay the amount of
decisions against the United States. It
also recommends a law creating a special
court of three judges to hear and deter
mine all claims of aliens against the Uni
•ted States arising out of acts committed
against their persons and property dur
ing the war.
It asks the decision of Congress on
the subject of the action of the Ottoman
and Egyptian governments, relieving for
eign consuls of judicial powers.
The President transmits the applica
tion of the Republic of Santo Domingo,
that the United States shall exercise a
protectorate over that republic.
The message discusses at some length
the question of the right of expatriation,
particularly as to citizens of the United
States residing permanently abroad with
their families, and suggests legislation
on the subject.
It refers to the establishment of a re
public in Spain, and to the efforts of the
new government to abolish slavery in all
its dominions, ■which efforts are opposed
by the reaction iry slaaeholders of Cuba,
who are vainly striving to stop the march
of civilization. This baneful influence
had thus succeeded in defeating the ef
forts of all liberal-minded men in Spain
to abolish slavery in Cuba, and in pre
venting the proposed reform in that isl
and. In the interest of humanity, of
civilisation, and of progress, it was to be
hoped that evil influence might be soon
averted.
In reference to the capture of the Vir
ginius and the execution of fifty-three of
her passengers and crew, he says that
the Spanish government had recognised
the justice of his demand and had ar
ranged for the immediate delivery of the
vessel and for the surrender of the sur
vivors of the passengers and crew and
for a salute to the flag, and for proceed
ings looking to the punishment of those
who may be proved to have been guilty
of illegal acts of violence towards citi
zens of the United States, and also to
wards indemnifying those who may be
shown to be entitled to indemi ity. The
President expresses his conviction that
the presence of African slavery in Cuba
is a principal cause of the lamentable
condition of the island, and does not
doubt that Congress shares his hopes
that it will soon be made to disappear,
and that peace and prosperity will follow
its abolition. ■
Jle suggests two constitutional amend
ments —one to authorise the President to
approve go much of any measure of Con
gress as his judgment may dictate with
out approving the whole, and the other
to provide that when an extra session of
Congress is convened by Executive pro
clamation legislation shall be confined to
Such subjects as the Executive may bring
before Congress from time to time in
writing.
He recommends the erection at Wash
ington of suitable buildings for Cabinet
officers, and for such officials as now re
ceive commutation for quarters, thus set
ting an example to the States which may
induce them to erect buildings for their
Senators.
The message goes very fully into the
financial question, and declares that the
country never can have permanent pros
perity until specie payments be reached.
He recommends legislation prohibiting
national banks from the payment of in
terest on deposits, and forcing them into
resumption, if only in legal tender notes.
He suggasts the question whether bank
ing should not be made free, but se
curing all the present safeguards to bill
holders.
He notices the improvement in Ameri
can ship building during the past year,
and hopes for a continuance of it. In
regard to the problem of cheap trans
portation, he refers to the Erie and Illi
nois canals,and suggests whether it would
be wise statesmanship to pledge to the
States that own those canals that if they
will enlarge them the General Govern- 1
ment will look after and keep in nav
igable condition the great public
highways with which those canals con
nect, to wit: The Hudson river, the St.
Clair flats, and the Illinois and Missis
sippi rivers.
He recommends a Government explo
ration of the Upper Amazon river and
its tributaries. A revision and codifica
tion of the tariff laws and opening of
more mints.
He endorses the recommendation of
the Postmaster General for the estab
lishment of post-office savings deposito
ries, and invites the consideration of
Congress to the proposition for a postal
telegraph.
He recommends legislation in regard
to the judicial proceedings in Utah, also
in regard t > tie bankruptcy law, which
he considers productive of more evil
than good. If not totally repealed it
should be modified in those portions
proriding for involuntary bankruptcy.
Those portions should be repealed.
He calls attention to the immense
aggregate of claims against the Govern
ment, many of them growing out of the
war, and not a few of them fabricated
and supported by false testimony. He
recommends that persons baring claims
be required to present them at an early
period, and that the personal attendance
of witnesses be required by the Court of
Claims.
In regard to the Indian question, he
recommends a territorial form of gov
ernment for the Indian Territory. He
also recommends such action as will
permit the settlement of a body of Rus
sian colonists on the pub’ic lands, and
endorses the proposition for a census in
1875.
He eulogises the Washington Board
of Public Works and speaks of the great
improvement of the city under the ope
rations of the board. He recommends
a liberal policy on the part of Congress
in defraying a portion of the expenses,
and suggests the establishment there of
a national university. Ho recommends
the passage of an enabling act for the
admission of Colorado as a State, and
suggests the opening of a canal for the
purpose of irrigation from the eastern
slope of the Rocky Mountains to the
Missouri river.
In conclusion, he reviews his recom
mendation for general amnesty, and says:
There are a number of persons yet la
boring under disabilities very small, but
enough to keep up a constant irritation.
There can be no possible danger to the
Government in restoring them to eligi
bility to hold office, and suggests the en
actment of a law better to secure the
civil lights which freedom should secure,
but has not effectually secured, to the
enfranchised slave.
THE PEISMOID EAILKOAD.
The Philadelphia Ledger furnishes
this Georgia item:
There has just been completed at the
machine-shop of Lafierty & Bros., Glou
cester City, N. J., a fonr-ton locomotive
designed to run on one rail. It is built
for a street railroad company in Georgia.
The engine can, with propriety, be called
a steam velocipede, as it rests upon two
wheels, one following the other. The
rail or track upon which it is to run, a
sample of which is laid in the yard of
the builders, js styled a “Prismoid one
track railway,” and is composed of sev
eral thicknesses of plank, built up in the
style of an inverted keel of a vessel, with
a flat rail on the apex. Upon trial a
speed of twelve miles an hour was at
tained, and the inventor and patentee
claims that the speed can be almost
doubled on a lengthened track. Mr. E.
Crew, of Opelika, Ga., is the inventor
and patentee of both Hacks and engines,
and he claims that his inventions dem
onstrate a tractive power superior to
anything in the locomotive line of equal
weight. The capacity for running curves
is very much greater than the two-rail
system. The track upon which the
trail was made contained thirty
six feet of lumber and eighteen pounds
of iron to the lineal foot, proviny itself
equal to a span of twenty feet, remain
ing firm and unyielding under the press
ure of the engine as it traversed the
road. The revolving flanges attached to
the engine, and which run on the out
sides of each wheel, Mr. Crew claims
absolutely lock the rolling stock to the
prism, and obviate the necessity of so
much heavy rolling stock in light traffic
at a high rate of speed. It is also claim
ed that a prismoidal railway built with a
base of fourteen inches, angles forty-five
degrees, can be built at a cost of $3,000
per mile. The inventor is of the opin
ion that his engine and track is particu
larly adapted to the propelling of canal
boats, and will compete successfully
with horse power on canal without nec
essarily interfering with the use of the
latter, but he does not state in what way.
The engine will shortly be shipped to its
destination, Atlanta, Ga., where it goes
into operation on a street railroad, built
at an elevation of twelve feet above the
sidewalk.

THE ONLi Ikuu w MEDICINE
That at the same time Purges, IPurifies and
Strengthens the System.
Dr. Tult’j Fills are composed of many ingre
dients. Prominent among them are Sarsaparilla
aui Wild Cherrv, so united as to act together;
the one through its admixture with other sub
stances, purifying and purging, while the other
is strengthening the system. Thus these Pills
are at the same time a tonic and a cathartic,
a desideratum long sought for by medical men,
butnever before discovered. In uther words they
do die work of two medicines and do if much
better than any two we know of, for they remove
nothi: g from the system but impurities, so that
while they purge they also strengthen and hence
cause no debility and are followed by no reaction
Dr. Tutt’s Pill? h wea wonderful influence on
the blood. They not only purify without weak
ening it, but the}' remove all noxious particles
from the chyle befoie it is converted into fluid,
and thus makes impure blood an utter impossi
bility. As ihere is no debilitation, so there is no
nausea or sickness attending the ope
ration of this most excellent medicine which
never strains or tortures the digestive organs,
b- t causes them to work a perfect'y natural
manner; hence persons taking them do not be
come pale and emaciated, but on the contrary,
while Hill impurities are being removed, the
combined action of the Sarsaparilla and Wild
Cherry puiifies and invigorates the body, and a
robust state of health is the result of their
united action.

Prospectus for 2874---7th Year.
The Aldine,
An Illustrated Monthly Journal, universally
admitted to bo tiio Handsomest Periodical in
the World. A Representative and Cham
pion of American Taste.
NOT FOE SALE IN BOOKSTORES.
TilE ALDINE, while issued with all the reg
ularity, has none of the temporary or timely in
terest of ordinary periodicals. It is nn elegant
miscellany of pure, light and graceful literature;
niiif a collection of pictures, tbe rarest specimens
of artistic skill, in black and white. Tbe real
value and beauty of Tim Ai.rn.NE will bo most
appreciated after being bound at the close of
the year. The Alpine is a unique and original
conception, alone and unap)>• roached, absolutely
without competition in price or character. The
possessor of a complete volume cannot dupli
cate the quantity of line paper and engravings
in any other shape or number of volumes foi ten
times its cost; and then there are the ehromos,
besides.
ART DEPARTMENT—IB74.
The illstrations of The Aldine have won a
world-u'ide reputation, and in the art centres of
Europe it is an admitted fact that its wood-cuts
arc examples of the highest perfection ever at
tained. The common prejudice in favor of steel
plates is rapidly yielding to a more educated
and discriminating taste which recognises the
advantages of superior artistic quality with
greater facility of production. The wood-cuts
ot The Aldine possess all the deliexey and elab
orate finish of the most costly steel plate, while
affording a better rendering of the original.
In addition, The Aldine will reproduce exam
ples ot-the best foreign masters, selected with a
view to the highest artistic success and greatest
general interest. Thus the subscriber will, at
a trilling cost, enjoy in his own home the refin
ing influences ot true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be
by Thos. Moran and J. D. Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain spe
cial designs, appropriate to the season.
PREMIUM FOR 1874.
. Every subscriber for 1874 will receiver pair
of cliiomos. The original pictures were painted
in oil for the publishers of The Aldine, by Thos.
Moran, whose great Colorado picture was pur
chased by Congress for SIO,OOO. The subjects
were chosen to represent “The East” and“ Tho
West.” One is a view in the White Mountains,
New Hanip.-hire; the other gives the Cliffs
of Green River, Wyoming Territory. The chro
nics are each worked from thirty distinct plates,
and are in size (12x16) and appearance an ex.
act fac-similes of the originals, as attested by
Mr. Moran himself:
Newark, N. J., Sept. 20, 4873.
Messrs. Jas Sutton & Cos.
Gkntlkmkn : I am do light ml with the proofs
in color of 3’our ehromos. They are wonderful
ly successlul representations by mechanical
process of the original paintings.
Very respectlnll/, Thos. Moran.
Persons of taste well prize these pictures for
themselves—not for the price they did or did not
cost, and will appreciate the enterprise that ren
ders their distribution possible.
If any subscriber should indicate a preference
for a figure subject, tbe publishers will send
“Thoughts of Home,” anew and beautiful chro
mo, 14x20, representing a little Italian exile,
whose speaking eyes betray the longings of his
heart.
Te:mis',ss per year, in advnnee,
with Oil Cliroinos free.
For 50 cts. extra 'he ehromos will be sent
mounted, varnished and prepaid by mail.
The Aldine will hereafter only be obtainable
by subscription. There will be no reduced or

to the publishers direct, or handed to the local
agent, without responsibility to the publishers,
except in cases where the certificate is given,
