THE OGLETHORPETXHO. FSIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1874, „ 'mm ♦ • E< tAJiTT Editor and Prop The President’* SlesM^e. The last state paper from the Chief Executive is a decided improvement on its predecessors. It is freer from par tizanship than anything of a similiar character which has emanated from him heretofore, and the main points in it are presented with sufficient clearness and brevity as to make them acceptable to the general reader. A majority of the American people will doubtless endorse his views in rela tion to a resumption of specie payment and the establishment of the free bank ing system, which occupy the chief posi tions in hi message. The salient points which come after may be summed up as follows, to-wit : That our foreign relations in the main are of a satisfactory character ; that di plomatic conferences, treaties, postal and commercial, have been conducted during the past year with commendable dispatch Add fair results. He makes a bid for California by denouncing Chinese immi gration as at present conducted, and ten ders no rights of citizenship to our ce lestial visitors. ' He favors more strin gent laws for the neutralization of for eigners, and further legislation for the protection, comfort and convenience of American citizens residing abroad. He desires that the tax on whisker be in creased, and the tariff raised generally, the exception beiug in favor of the Northern manufactures of course. He Stands by the army, praises the hard work and poor pay of the officers and men, and recommends (for which he should be commended) that the cadets at West Point should be taught English, •and how to speak it correctly. And further, on <t&soty ; ect of education, he proposes that an equal*number of Amer ican and Japanese youths be taught the Americau and Japanese land languages. The Navy is said to be in first-class trim, having been tinkered up for the purpose of a descent on Cuba last winter. The San Domingo job is not brought forward, the Senate having substantially killed'it at the last session; but the Centennial gets a lift, and the Philadel phia lobbyists will feel strong with Presidential backing of their capacity to run a three million Job through during the coming season. , The District of Columbia government lei admitted to be a failure and broken down with debt, but it is recommended that anew one be set up and that Wash ington be adorned and beautified at the public expense. This is a blow at the pretensions of St. Louis as the capital city, but the President owns property in ptac*s,.&nd General Sherman has ftws&kenrthe otic- and fled to the other. The President has not yet decided what to nominate the late war, alluding to k variously as a “conflict,” an “insurrec tion,” and a “rebellion.” The jobbers and lobbyists have a crumb thrown to them in some rathe - vague and indefinite ideas about cheap trans portation and subsidies to steamship lines. The Inter-Continental canal, and the one from the mouth of the Rio Grande to Savannah, are not mentioned by name. Cuftee gets a pat on the back in a line or so for voting with the Republicans because he knows them to be his friends, but the negro does not abound in the message. The Indian is to be recon structed and is- to have the homestead law given to hint; and nothing is said about Brigham Young and his harem.' Grant stands squarely on his Louisiana hand said says that if Congress does not ra&rfere he is going*to back Kellogg to the bitter end. This is significant, when. it is remembered that the counting of votes is Still going on in Louisiana. Ar kansas is to be fumed* over to the ten der mercies of a Congressional investi gating committee, while similar machine ery is invoked to help oat the Chatta nooga Outrage- CbnriHentiom. Civil ser vice is given a hlwek eye. The entire army of the United? States, from the capes* of Delaware to Mexico, was used in the elections in the Southern States, and Grant emphatically declares that its use was right and that so long as he can he' will use it in a similar manner. - The political points of the message are skfllfttlly subdued, but are at the same tii®e in strict harmony with the Radical {mrty *rtd programme, and so far from there being any disposition shown to retire, the dacnment itself is evidently constructed for * bid for the third term. There is nothing great and nothing very smstt in it, but Acre is a marked absence of bxoad r charitable-and nation al expression. Skill,, it is tile best mes sage that Grant has promulgated, and his new Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Bristow, is possibly—most probably—re sponsible for it. Me had the pleasure of a. call,, yester ihiv, from our esteemed friend, Mr. T. A. Burke, of Athens. is the leading book-seller in North-East Georgia, and as clever, honest, and upright a gentle uvuteas ovar li ed> r War in Mississippi. Owing to the fullness of oiyr columns we are not able to give a detailed aocoupt of tire wag id Vicksburg. Miss., and vi cinity. Ifcsecms tfiat the difficulty occurred In regard to the county offices.' The ne groes, instigated by Gov. Ames and his Attorney General, Geo. E. Harris, and Oosby (col.), Sheriff, made an attack upon the whites, but were defeated prith a loss of over seventy killed and wonfid ed, together with several prisoners. - " Only one white man killed and two wounded. Latest accounts state that skirmishing is still going on. The negroes were be ing reinforced from other counties and were driving the whites towards the city. The negroes fired into a funeral proces sion, wounding one white man. The fire was returned, killing three negroes. The McDuffie Journal. Our brother of this splendid weekly gets after us “ with a sharp stick” for “ ap propriating” an article from the Journal without credit. We “ acknowledge the corn,” and confess that it was a clear case of “ highway plagiarism.” The only ex cuse we have to offer is, that they publish such a good paper,, we couldn’t help it. The only way to prevent ourpreying up on their columns will be by their either refusing to exchange with us, or stop putting out such a good paper. The St. Louis Globe. —We invite the especial attention of our readers to the prospectus of the above named paper. The Globe is decidtecfly the-ablest edited, neatest printed, anti Irrestf newspaper in the West. Although Republican in pol itics, it opposes those tyrannies and op pressions imposed upon the South by their party, which has brought disgrace upon the name of Republican. Any one wanting a No. I paper from the West, can find it in the Globe. MARKET REPORTS.
