Covington, qa.
FRIDAY MORNING DEC. 18, 1868.
THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
Tin exceedingly undignified conduct of Con
gress in refusing to hear the rending of the mes
sage of the President on the occasion of the
opening of the present session, is explained by
the matter of the roessag* itself. With a pa
tient perseverance almost unprecedented, Mr.
Johnson has continually remonstrated against
the destructive and ruinous policy of Congress,
and now he demonstrates by the stern and un
answerable logic of actual facts and figures
that the wlrok: course of Congressional action
in the matter of reconstruction, and all the
]>arty measures of the Republican party, as en
acted by Congress, have provod destructive not
oniy to the persecuted South,but to the masses
of the people in all sections of the country.
After charging that the greatest evils which
can be inflicted on a people, arise from unwise
and despotic laws, and alluding to the uncon
stitutional enactments of the last three years
lhe President says :
‘‘Statesjto which|tho Constitution guarantees
n republican form of government have been
reduced to military dependencies, in each of
which the people have been made subject to
the arbitrary will of the commanding general.
Although the Constitution requires that each
-State shall he represented in Congress, Vir
ginia, Mississippi and Texas, are yet excluded
flow the Houses, and, contrary to the expressed
provisions of that instrument, were denied par
ticipation in the recent election Par President.
and Vice-President of the United States. The
attempt to .place the whole population under
the domination of persons of color in the South
has impaired, if not destroyed the kindly
relations that had previously existed between
them, and mutual distrust has engendered feel
ings of animosity, which, lending in some in
atnnccs to collision and bloodshed, has provent
od;that co-operation between the two races so
essential to the success of the industrial enter
prise in the Southern States. Nor have the
inhabitants of these States alono suffered from
the disturbed condition of affairs growing out
of Congressional enactments, for the entire
Union has been agitated by grave apprehen
sions of trouble which might again involve
the peace of the nation. Its interests have
been injuriously affected by the derangement of
business and labor and the consequent want of
prosperity throughout that portion of the Union.
The Federal Constitution, the Magna Charta of
American rights, under whose wise and salu
tary provisions we have successfully conducted
otir domestic and foreign affairs and sustainsour
selves in peace and in war, and Iwcome a great
nation among the powersof the eaith.must as
suredly bo adequate to the settlement of the
questions grtvtving out of the civil war waged
for its vindication. This great fact is made
manifest by the condition of the country.—
When Congress assembled in the month of
December, 1865, civil strife had ceased ; the
spirit of rebellion had spent its entire force in
the Southern States; the people had warmed
into national life,' and throughout the whole
country a heglthy reaction in public sentiment
had taken place. By the simple yet effective
provisions of the Constitution, the Executive
Department, with the voluntary aid of the
States, had brought the work of restoration as
near completion as was within the scope of its
authority, and the nation was encouraged by
the prospect of an early and satisfactory ad
justment of all its difficulties. Congress, how
ever, interfered, and, refusing to perfect the
work so nearly consummated,declined to admit
members from those States, adopted a course of
measures which arrested the progress of res
toration, frustrated all that hnd been done and
successfully accomplished, and, after three
y«ars of agitation and strife, has left the coun
try farther from the attainment of union and
fraternal feeling, than at the inception of the
Con gressional plan of reconstruction. 11 need s
no argument to show that the legislation which
has produced such consequences should lie ab
rogated, or else made to conform to the genu
ine principles of the republican government.
Under the influence of party passion and
sectional prejudice, other actshavebeen passed
not warranted by the Constitution. Congress
has already been made familiar with my views
respecting the the tcnure-of-office bill. Expe
rience has proved that its repeal is demanded
by the best interests of the country, and that,
while it remains in force, the President cannot
enjoin that rigid accountability of public offi
cers which is so essential to an honest and effi
cient execution of the laws. Its repeal would
enable the Executive Department to exercise
the power of appointment and removal in ac
cordance with the original design of the Fed
eral Constitution.
The act of March 2, 18ff7, making appropri
ations for the support of the army for the year
ending June 30,1867, and for other purposes,
contains a provision which interferes with the
President's constitutional functions as Cotn
mander-in-Chief of the army and navy, and
with the States of the Union, in the right to
protect themselves by means of their own
militia.
These provisions should he at once annulled,
for while the first might, in times of great
cmergenoy, seriously embarrass the Executive
in his efforts to employ and direct the common
strength of the nation for its protection and
preservation, lhe other is contrary to the ex
press declaration of the Constitution that a
well regulated militia being necessary to the
security of a free State the right ol the people
to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
It is believed that the repeal of all such laws
would be accepted by the American people, as
at least, a partial return to the fundamental
principle# of the Government, and an indica
tion that hereafter the Constitution is to be
made the national, safe and unerring guide.
They can he productive*!' no permanent bene
fit to the country, and should not b« permitted
to stand as so many monuments of the deficient
wi.-doin which has characterized our recent
legislation."
Then in treating on the- finance* it is shown
by mathematical demonstration that the ex
penses of the government, have increased from
about one dollar per head in 1790, and from
less than two dollars per head in iB6O, to nearly
ten .Whirs per henrdl ns the official estimate for
1869. Again, the President presents the fol
lowing frightful comparison, which well might
arouse the indignation of those whose profli
gacy and corruption it so glaringly cx|>ohcs.
The people must indeed he lost to all reason if
thoy do not sec the wholesale system of plun
der which is here shown :
“ From the 4th day of March, 1789, to tl.e
.TOtli of June, 1861, the entire expenditures of
the Government were seventeen hundred mil
lions of dollars. During that period we were
engaged in wars with Great Britain nnd Mex
ico, and were involved in hostilities with pow
erful Indian tribes. Louisiana was purchased
from France at u cost of fifteen millions of
dollars. Florida was ceded to us by Spain for
lire millions. California was acquired from
Mexico for fifteen millions, and the territory
of Now Mexico was obtained from Texas for
the sum of ten millions.
F.arly in 1861, the war of the rebellion com
menced, and from the Ist of July of that yvrar
to thoJ3oth of June, 1865, the public expendi-
tures reached the enormous aggregate of thirty
three hundred millions. Three years of peace
have interven’d, and during that time the dis
bursements of tho Government have successive
ly been five hundred and twenty millions, three
bundled and forty-six millions, and three hun
dred and seventy-three millions. Adding to
these amounts three hundred and seventy-two
millions, estimated as necessary for the fiscal
year ending the 30th of June, 1869, we obtain
a total expenditure of sixteen hundred millions
of dollars during the four years immediately
succeeding the war, or neatly as much as was
expended during the seventy-two years that
preceded the rebellion and embraced the ex
traordinary expenditures already named. Those
facts clearly illustrate the necessity of retrench
ment in all branches of the public sorvice.-
Abuses which were tolerated during the war
for the preservation of the nation will not be
endured by the people now that profound peace
prevails.”
Thu national debt on the first day of No
vember, 1867, hail been reduced to $2,491,*
504,450 ; hut this amount has been increased
during the past year by the addition of $55,-
625,102, being on the first of November last
$2,527,12*9,552. And to this last amount the
Secretary of the Treaswy adds an estimate for
November of $11,000,000.
The President repeats his recommendation
in regard to rnnking provision for the extin-,
guishment of the national debt, urging the
necessity of liberating our country from the
terrible burdens under which the industry of
the people is made tributary to n bondholding
aristocracy, lie shows that $850,000,000 of
the bonds are held in Europe, requiring an
annual draft of large sums in gold to pay the
interest to foreign capitalists. The singulnr
favor shown to the holders of government
bonds by Congressional action has already
repaid more than the actual value loaned to
the government, therefore it is thought they
would consent to such a modification of the
debt as W'ould admit of ultimate payment.—
The financial policy of the Radicals must ter
minate in national bankruptcy.
In referring to the currency he merely reit
erates his well known views ns expressed in
his last annual message. Legislation is recom
mended which shall bring the circulating me
dium to a par value with gold at ns early a
day as consistent with the popular interests.
On this subject he says:
“The anomalous condition of our currency it
in striking contrast with that which was origi
nally designed. Our circulation now embra
ces:
First—Notes of the national hanks, which
are made receivable for all due* to ilie govern
ment, excluding imports, and hy all its credi
tors, excepting in payment of interest upon
its bond* and the securities themselves.
Second—Legal tender note* issued hy the
United States, and which the law requires
shall he received as well in payment of all
debts between citizens as of all government
dues, excepting imports, &c.
Third—Gold and silver coin. By the opers
ation of our present system of finances, how
ever, the metallic currency, when collected, is
reserved only for one class of government
creditors, who holding its bonds, semi -annually
receive their interest in coin from the national
treasury.
There is no reason which will he accepted
as satisfactory hy the people why those who
defend us on tiie land nnd protect us on the
sea. the pensioner upon the gratitude of the
uation, hearing the scars and wounds received
while in its service, the public servants in the
various departments of the Government, the
farmer who supplies the soldiers of the array
and the sailors of the naTy, th* artisan who
toils in the uatiou's workshop* or the mechan
ics and lnhorcrs who build its edifices and con
struct it* forts and vessels of war, should, in
payment of his just and hard-earned dues,
receive depreciated paper, whil* another class
of their countrymen, no more deserving, are
paid in the coin of gold or silver. Equal and
exact justice requires that all the creditors of
the Government should be poid in a currency
possessing a uniform value, and this can only
be accomplished hy the lestoration of the cur
rency to the standard established by the
Constitution, and by this means we could re
move a discrimination which may, if it has
not already done so, creat* a prejudice that
may become deep-rooted and wide-spread and
imperil the national credit.”
The rest of the message is devoted to the
reports from the several departments. The por
tions we have given are those which arc of
most interest to our own people. On the
whole the message is an able document, and
shows conclusively that Congress is responsi
ble for the continued division and anomaleus
condition of the country.’
One of litre Blessings of the Wat.
An irredeemable paper currency is one of
the most powerful ugencies by which we have
been brought to otrr present financial condition,
deranging the business of the country, and vi
tiating the habits of the people. The party in
power is responsible for it all. It is their
measure, but the country’s curse. llow great
a eurse, the Secretary of the Treasury give* a
faint picture, in the following extract from his
annual report:—A'. Y. Drm.
The economical objections to these motes a*
lawful money, stated at length in previous re
ports of the Secretary, may he thus briefly re
stated. They increased immensely the cost of
the war, and they have added largely to the ex
penses of the government since the restoration
of peace. They hnve caused instability in
prices, nnd unsteadiness in trade, and put a
check upon judicious enterprise. They have
driven specie from circulation nnd made it
merchandise. They have sent to foreign coun
tries the prmlucts of our mines, nnd at tho
same time our European debt has been steadily
increasing, and has now reached such mngni
tude ns to he a heavy draught on the nntional
resources end a serious obstacle in the way of
a return to specie pay men ts. They have sha
ken lhe public credit by raising dangerous
questions in regard to the payment of the pub
lic debt in connection with high taxes, to the
necessity for which theyhn'ce largely contribu
ted. They ate preventing ship-buihling, and
thereby the restoration of the commerce which
was destroyed by the war. They are an excuse
for, if indeed they do not necessitate protective
tariffs, nnd yet fail by their fluctuating value to
protect the American manufacturer against his
foreign competitor. They are filling the cof
fer* of the rich, but by reason of the high
prices which they create and sustain, they are
almost intolerable to personsof limited incomes.
The language of one of the greatest men of
modern times, so often, but not too often
quoted, is none too strong In its description of
injustice and the evils of an inconvertible cur
rency: “Os all the contrivances for cheating
the laboring classes of mankind, none has been
more effectual than that which deludes them
with paper money. Ordinary tyranny, oppres
sion, excessive taxation—these bear lightly oft
the happiness of the mass of the community
as compared with a fraudulent currency, and
the robberies committed by depreciated paper.”
Our own history has recorded for our morali
zing tendency, the injustice, and the intolerable
oppression on the virtuous and well-disposed
of n degraded paper currency authorized or iw
any way countenanced by government. The
experience of all nations that have tried this
experiment of inconvertible paper money, has
proved the truth of the eloquent words of Mr.
Webster: “If our country is in n measure'
prosperous with such an incubus upon it, it is
because it is so magnificent in extent, so diver
sified in climate, so rich in soil, so abundant
in minerals, with a people so full of energy
that even a debased curiency can only retard
hut not put a stop to its progress.”
The Curse nl the Day.
There is too much lying. On every hand
we meet with exaggeration, equivocation, tie
ception. We call it lying, and every innn or
woman who Tarie* one iota from the strictest
fact and truth i* indeed a liar.
The expressman agree* most solemnly to
deliver a trunk at a certain place by a certain
time, lie delivers it the day after the time
promised, and thus lies. The grocer prom
ises to send you the best ten in market. He
takes the first his hand falls upon without any
care for the quality, and dispatches it to yon
without a twinge. He is a liar. The printer
promises to do your work cheaper than it can
be done elsewhere in town. He forgets his
promise—charges you what he pleases—and
lies. The tailor agress to deliver a suit of
clothes without fail by six in the evening.—
You get them in the morning, and the tailor
is a liar. The dentist pledges his word that
if your teeth are filled hy him they will he all
right for a dozen years. The filling* come out
in six months, and the dentist lies. A man
over the way is in need of a temporary loan.
You lend him a small sum which he promises
by everything to return at a given time. He
keeps it a month over the time, and is a liar.
An auctioneer tells you that a certain picture
is by a master artist when he know* it was
painted by a fourth rate painter. lie lie* an i
is not worthy of trust. A salesman lies about
his goods. A bootmaker lie* about your
boots. A jeweler lies about your watch.—
The gossiper at the dinner table tells exagger
ated stories to astonish the ladies—and is
nothing else than a liar. The florist assures
you that his flowers were picked in the morn
ing, when they are nearly two days old. lie
lies, and will lie about anything. The book
publisher advertises that his book is selling hy
ten* *f thousands when he ha* not sold a thou
*and. lie is a liar, and one door off from "the
murderer.
Everywhere—everywhere we hear lying,
lying, lying. Men and women who would
knock you down if you called them liars, lie
every hour. Deception is the rule rather than
exception. Canvassers lie about insurance
companies. Brokers lie about stocks. Edi
tors lie about, politics. Exaggeration and
misrepresentation rule the day and arc its
curse.
Gentlemen—ladie*—why cannot the truth
be told always and ever ? YVhy all this de
ception and lying? Why so much falsifying
and cheating ? In the name of *ll that is good
—we beg of you to do as you agree!—JV. F.

Firi and Explosion.— The steamship Cree
cent, of tho New Orleans and Galveston line,
took fire at her Wharf in New Orleans, on the
12th inst., and was entirely destroyed. Los*
probably $200,000- no insurance. She had
about twenty-five hundred barrrels freight on
hoard, partly underwritten by the vessel’s own
era. The fire had been partially subdued when
an explosion occured in the bold, injuring ten
firemen, one mortally, and several severely.
Wreck sunk.
[From the Boston Courier ]
Kf|i!riek.
On Monday evening last, Kilkatrick deliver
ed a lectu-re in Music Hall on “Sherman »
March to the Sea,” which was full of such
bombast ns the following: “Here on the
shores of free America,” quoth Kilpatrick,
had “been found two men, Grant and Sherman,
both of whom were superior to Napoleon and
the equal of AViSHoMf. llow long would
Napoleon nnd Frenchmen have stood against
Robert E. Lee in the battles of the Wilderness?
The South did not realize what war was, hut
when they saw their fences ami house* <fi*ap
praring, their hogs and chickens eaten up be
fore their eyes, they realized something of its
results.” Undoubtedly they did. The fact
was, tbe country through which General
Slid man marched to the sen hnd been cleared
out ot its fighting material a»d was a mere
empty shell. General Sherman's march to the
sea from Atlanta was a sort of a holiday ex
cursion, with a vanguard of bummers burning
dwelling houses and barns,robbing hen roosts
and smoke houses of bacon, and doing other
equally valiant exploits. Tho march through
Sonth Carolina, Kilpatrick admits to haveheen
a regular Goth and Vandal movement, rather
than an invasion conducted on the humane
principles of modern warfare, such as were
observed by the Prussians in their late march
through Austria to Vienna. Kilpatrick gloat
ed over the burning and Imrting oF defenseless
villages and plantations with the gusto of a
Cossack or wild Tartar, and spoke of the South
Carolinians a* cowards, notwithstanding that
he had paid such a high indirect compliment
to Robert E. Lee and his army, by intimating
that the first Emperor Napoleon and fits troops
could not have fought the battle of the Wil
derness against Lee. Kilpatrick'is a braggart,
and his idea of great military exploits is that
they consist in burning the dwellings of non
combatants and robbing their hen roosts.
Lawlessness of the Hour.
The Hartford Post has some very truthful
comments on the wickedness that is prevalent
all over the country—in'the* course of which
it says:
“To all this lawlessness, this recklessness of
human life, this disregard of personal safety,
and these constant breaches of the public
peace, among the violent, there is added an
almost complete demoralization on the part of
those who esteem themselves the better classes.
Men who build churches, found colleges, sup
port ministers, pay liberally to missionary en
terprises, are found to be among the worst.—
Re- ent events have expos -d an utter nhsenc • of
principle or conscience ou the part of some of
these men.
Fraud, forgery, perjury, and every cirine
whose meshes are large enough to let the of
fenders through,'they practice with impunity.
They issue fraudulent certificates, and sell
worthless stocks, they make a football of the
jnati -nal currency. They'try ghastly exp- r
irnents on trade and commerce. In the
harsh phrase of the sharper, they “bleed”
everybody and everything w-thin their reach.
They shrink at no crime in the” getting of
money.”
This is all too true—and it is perfectly dem
onstrable, that it has, grown out of the late
civil war—or as the Rev. Henry- Clay Trum
bull, with grim facetiousness, calls it, the
“hallowing influences of camp life.” Had not
party spirit over-ridden Christian precept, there
would have been no war—but a satisfactory
settlement of all our national difficulties.
War means the unchaining of all the evil
passions of man—is had enough in the best
cause—is a terrible res-rt —ami in no ca-e jus
tifiable until tbe eloquence of peace is exhaus
ted. When clergymen ‘erv havoc' to tlu-ir
flocks, they will find it hard to get them 1 ack
to their folds again.

Sold Himself Into Bondage.
Every voter who cast his ballot in favor of
another four years’ trial of the Mongrel party
of this country, rot only sold himself into
slavery, but paid a premium for the privilege
of wearing the shackles. He not only con
tracted to impoverish himself hut he agreed
to pay, directly or indirectly, the interest on
the sum of one thousand dollars per year, for
the honor of hewing wood and drawing water
for an administration, the main element of
which is free negroism, to the level of which
he is to he socially and politically degraded.—
Every white votor in the country is taxed, at
least, eighty dollars per year, to support the
party he had placed in power. Supposing the
vote of the country to foot up altout five mil
lions. which is also about tho number of
wealth producers, and the cost of the admin
istration in round $400,000,000 per
year, it will he »ecn that each votor pays a
sum equal to the interest upon a mortgage of
over $1,000; in fact, this relation i« a mort
gage, and this mortgage is to he made per
petual. It is a burden that the voter and the
producer must carry during his life, and must
then transmit to his children, and if the blind
ness and fanaticism of the present period con
tinue into the future, this mortgage of the
souls and bodies of the present voter's chil
dren nnd grandchildren, will end in debasing
them to the level of the ignorant and pauper
ized serfs of Europe. This is the price which
the voters are now paying for tho renewal of
tbe present administration of tho Government.
