FOREIGN RELATIONS.
In regard to the fisheries and to our
relations with the British North
American provinces, the President
says that lie has received notice that
the Imperial Parliament and that of
the Dominion both had passed laws to
carry the provisions of the Treaty of
Washington into operation, and he
therefore recommends legislation of
Congress in the same direction. lie
peaks of the friendly relations of the
United States with all the Govern
ments of Europe.
Tin: VIENNA EXPOSITION.
He refers to the Vienna Intcrnn-
ional Exposition, and recommends
he fitting up of two national vessel
io convey the goods of exhibitors to
Trieste, and suggests that a proposi
tion lie made to have the next grand
^Bjtposition in this country, in 1876, at
e lime of the Centennial Celebration,
in Philadelphia.
CUBA.
He refers to the disturbed condition
f Cuba, and says that no advance to-
ards pacification in that island has
en made, while the insurrection had
ined no advantages, and exhibited
o more of the elements of power or
ro-|>cotive success than a year ago,
Either had Spain succeeded in repress-
g the insurrection. The parties to
e strife were standing in the same
titude as for a long time past. The
ntinuation of slavery in that island
regards as among the strongest
uses of the continuance ot the strife,
1 lie thinks that the abolition of
very ami the institution of other rc-
irms, there eould not fail to advance
restoration of peace and order. It
s greatly to be hoped that the pres-
t liberal Government of Spain will
luntarily adopt that view.
CHINA AXI) JAPAN.
Referring to our relations with China
nl Japan, the President recommends
©visions for maintaining fuur Anieri-
n youths in each of those countries

iuisters.
THE REVENUE.
He gives details of the revenue re
ived in the past year and of the
action to the amount of over a hun-
ed milllions of the public debt. He
presses a doubt whether any further
duction in taxation is practicable for
e present, aud he recommends that
more legislation be had on the sub-
t, except to correct errors of omis-
ii or earn mission in the present laws,
til sufficient time shall have elapsed
prove that it can be done and still
ve sufficient revenue to meet cur
at expenses, pay interest on the

bought to a par with Gold.

that the time is not far distant when
the obvious advantages of good order
and peace will induce an abandonment
of all such combinations and when it
will be unnecessary to carry on prose
cutions or to inflict punishment in
order to protect citizens from the law
less doings of such combinations.
THE INDIANS.
lie makes suggestions in regard to
the Indians that they shall all be con
fined to the Territory south of Kansas,
and that farms he secured to them in
fee and in severalty. He recommends
that a further census be taken in 1875,
but that no reapjwrtionment of mein-
liers of Congress he made under it. In
only one of the Territories, Utah, is
the condition of affairs regarded by the
President as unsatisfactory. It had
a emed to be the policy of the Utah
Legislature to evade all responsibility
to the Government of the United
States and even to hold a position
hostile to it. He recommends a care
ful revision of the present laws and
the enactment of laws that will secure
peace, the equality of all citizens be
fore the law and the ultimate exting
uishment of polygamy. He rccommeds
an appropriation to reimburse the city
of Washington for work done in froiit
of the public reservations and for embel
lishment of the public buildings and
grounds. He favors action to give
greater trial and success to the obser
vance of the centennial anniversary of
America Independence.
In regard to civil service, he says he
will carry out the rules during his* term
of office, but suggests that there should
lie direct action of Congress to make
the system binding on his successors,
so as to secure to the public service a
praticable method of obtaining faith
ful and efficient officers and employees.
The reading of the message was
completed at 2:50, p. m., having
occupied one hour and ton minutes.
TREASURY REPORTS.
The Treasury report says thatoiccos-
sitv exists for a new issue of National
Bank noles. The .Secretary exoner
ates Assistant Treasurer Hillhousc
from neglect of duty in the stamp
division of the Assistant Treasury of
New York. The Secretary again re
commends the passage of the bill to
amend and consolidate Navigation and
Customs Colection laws of the United
States, as the leading pursuits of the
country growing stronger, than ever ;
therefore, in the possession of adequate
capital and a supply of intelligent la
bors there may be a moderate reduc
tion from time to time in the rate of
duties, as the expenses of the Govern
ment shall permit, without either
alarming capital or injuring labor. Ho
says the circulation of the banks should
bo fixed and limited, and , that, power
to change the volume of paper in cir
culation within the limits established
by law should remain in the Treasury
Department. A degree of flexibility
in the volume of currency is escutial for
two reasons; First, The business of
the Department cannot lie transacted
properly if a limit is fixed and the
power to raise the circulation above or
reduce it below that limit is denied.
Secondly, There is a necessity every
autumn for moving the crops, without
delay, from the South and West to the
seaboard, that they may be on hand,
for export and consumption, as want
ed. The problem is to find a way of
increasing the currency for moving the
crops and diminishing it at once when
that work is done. This is a necessary
work, and inasmuch as it cannot Ik*
confined to the banks, the power should
be reposed in the Treasury Depart
ment. Believing that the country is
not prepared to sustain the policy of
contraction, the Secretary considers the
means by which the value of our cur
rency may he improved. The basis of
a policy of improvement must be found
in a sturdy refusal to add to the jiaper
circulation, until it is of the same value
essentially as coin. This being ac
cepted as the settled purpose of tile
country, there can he no permanent
increase of the difference between
paper and coin ; and an opportunity
will he given for the influence of natural
causes tending upon the whole to a
better financial condition. All legisla
tion limited in its ojierationto the paper
issues of the end of the Government,
whether hearing interest or not, and
which, in its effects, shall tend to
diminish the market value of coin will
he found upon analysis to contain a
plan for contracting the volume of
paper currency, and all legislation so
limited, which docs not contain.such a
plan, will prove ineffectual. The Sec
retary, without proceeding to the dis
cussion of the general subject of re
suming specie payments, thinks all will
liavc lieeu gained that is of value when
me Treasuiy shall lie prepared to pay
tiie demand notes of the Government
iu coin and the banks shall lie prepared
to pay their notes either in coin or
legal tender, and then our good fortune
will clearly appear iu this, that our
paper currency is not exclusively of
National Bank notes nor exclusively of
United States notes.

tion regarding Mr. Greeley and ad

THE ARLINGTON PICTURES.
Among the articles saved from the
wreck at Arlington were many of the
paintings that, in the happy days now
gone, adorned the walls of that once
beautiful and hospitable mansion.
Most of them arc defaced—cither by
soldeiersor by transportation—and they
arc now at Green’s cabinet factory in
this city, undergoing repairs, prepara
tory to being forwarded to their owner,
Mrs. Mary Custis Lee, at her home
in Lexington. Though handsome
portraits of handsome people, to one
who has seen them hanging where
they are not agreeable, for they make
too obvious the contrast between then
and now, and revive regrets which had
better be obliterated—regrets such as
are evoked by the columns of the noble
portico of Arlington as now seen from
the ferry boats which ply between this
city and Washington. They are there,
however, and realities, and a cursory
glance, taken in a hurried round
through the furniture room in which
they are stored, this morning, recog
nized the following:
A head and bust of G. W. P.
Custis, painted by G. .Stuart—an
excellent likeness, portraying with
vividness the baldhcad, the fair com
plexion, verging upon florid; the short
side whiskers, extending from the top
of car to tiie angle of the jaw, and the
light and kindly beaming eye of the
“child of Mount Vernon,” so well
remembered by most of the middle
aged and older residents ot the city.
A portrait of John Custis, the immedi
ate ancestors of G. W. P., who holds
in his hand a book, containing an essay
upon the tulip, written by himself, a
represention of that flower being near
by. A full lcngih likeness of Colonel
Daniel Park, painted by Sir Godfrey
Kncllcr, in which lie is represented as
arrayed in a coat of crimson velvet,
embroidered with gold, wearing a min
iature of Queen Anne pendant from
his neck by aired ribbon, and holding
in his right hand Marl borough’s dis
patch to that Queen informing her of
his victory at Blenheim. A portrait
of Eleanor Park Custis, sister of O.
W. P., and with him an adopted
chilil of \\ ashing ton, also by Stuart,
which, despite the ill-usage “it has re
ceived, still plainly shows that “Nellie
Custis” was one of the most beautiful
of women, and tradition bears testi
mony to her brilliant wit, extensive
information and boundless generosity.
The picture represents her as a gav,
laughing, saucy girl, just entered upon
womanhood, of exquisite features, and
a form, judging from the hare arm
and rounded shoulder, of bewitching
symmetry. There are six spirited
and original Revolutionary Battle
scenes in which Washington partici
pated, battles of Trenton, Princetown,
Germantown, and Monmouth, Wash
ington at York town, and the surrender
at Yorktowa, painted by Mr. Custus-
when he was more than eighty years
old. As works of art they are said by
connoi.-seurs to possess little merit, but
ns truthful delineations of incidents
and costumes they have a value in
dependent of that which attaches to
them as the works of him who painted
them. A portrait of Mrs. Washing
ton, the wife of the General, painted by
Woolasten in 1757, when she was in
the bloom of youth, and must at that
time have been cxceediugly handsome.
It is mentioned of her dress in Mrs.
General Lee’s life of Mr. Custis, that
though plain, she was so scrupulous
neat, that ladies often wondered how
Mrs. Washington could wear during a
whole week of domestic nianngment a
gown that at the expiration of that
time retained it snow like whiteness,
unsullied by even a single speck. A
picture of General Washington, by the
elder Peale, representing him as the
provincial colonel, painted in 1772;
then a half bust of the genet a! by
Houdon, after the manner of the an
tique, taken soon after the Revolution;
then a cabinet, picture by Madam de
Bricnne, representing the heads of
Washington and Lafayette, and a pro
file likeness of Washington in crayon,
by Sharpless, said to he an admirable
likeness. These and many other pic
tures, representing either persons be
longing to the Park, Custis, Washing
ton, Lewis, Lee, and other illustrious
families, or scenes in which they were
actors, are being cleaned, varnished
and reframed, and sent off to their
owner, the widow of General Robert
E. Lee, parcel by pacel, as rapidly as
the work upon them is completed

possibly filled the aching void left in his
heart.
The young man, however, was not
satisfied with a single trophy from Sul
livan county. His ambition was im
perious and his affections exacting.
He levied upon a county or city as
“the cattle-lifters” of Scotland would
pluck not only the cows, but the
plump young heifers from the pastures
exposed to their invasions. He reap
peared and bore off this time a young
girl, on whose wonderful beauty ana
rare accomplishments the chronicler
dwells with fond and enthusiastic ad
miration. “ Again,” says our author
ity, “ he was pursued both by an
avenging brother aud the swindled
proprietor of a livery stable, but he
vanisbed completely, and a mystery
shrouded the lover, the lady and the
buggy.
He next appears in a small town of
the same State, pays a series of dei -
cate and assiduous attentions to several
rotund young married women, and in
a few days, or rather nights, disap
pears with “ the flower of the flock”
—the plumpest bird of the gang. Nor
did the livery stable proprietor escape
this time either. A new buggy and a
span of bays bore off the hero and his
prize to return to the owner no more.
The same trick was repeated again,
until the unusual number of four bug
gies and as many wives were accumu
lated by the felonious raider.
For, fear, however, that the success
of the youth may tempt others to try
their fortuues in similar enterprises,
let it be borne in mind that the young
man is not yet safe. Virtue has many
ways for avenging her outraged laws,
it is impossible to accumulate wives in
that way without detection. If the
horses don’t produce a disturbance in
the camp, the wives will. If the livery
stable proprietors don’t combine against
the robber, the husbands will. Be
lieving in the ultimate triumph of good
over evil, and the ascendency of virtue
over vice, we solemly predict that the
lusty lover of Long Island will yet
come to grief, and repent the hour
that he gathered together so many
women in one house.

Sydney, N. S. W., Australia,
Oct. 10.—In 1857, while Walter
Kearney, a peaceful and worthy man,
who made large amounts at the dig
gings itf various parts of this island,
as well as from shares which he was
fortunate enough to secure in several
of the most valuable lots iu Ballyrat,
was returning from the semi-civilized
quarter to the city of Melbourne, his
party v*g ' attacked bf “ hushmen,”
and boldly assured that it was either
“ money or life.” Kearney was ac
companied by Hubert Glasston and
Jim Kelley. The latter was then
known as the “ Ballyrat Scout.”
Glasston and Jim fought to the last,
and escaped to a baggage station called
Kvler, where they informed the police
men in charge of the attack upon their
party.
THE DEAD BODY DISCOVERED.
The police, with Glasston and Jim,
returned to the scene of the encounter,
and found Kearney lying dead in the
bushes on the roadside. There were
three bullet wounds in his head and
the wound of a large bowie knife in his
left side, near the heart. Five thou
sand pounds worth of gold, which he
was known to have in his saddle-bags,
was taken with his horse. Kearney
was the.father of a young family, and
his wife, a cultivated Irish woman,
was living in high circumstances in
Melbourne. Glasston and Jim Kelley
avowed that they had seen two of the
five men who had attacked the party,
and that they could identify them at
any time. From the description,
Hugh Burton, then one of the police
men who accompanied the fugitives to
the scene of the encounter, and now a
Deputy Sheriff, declared that ho knew
two of the fellows, and had been a long
time on their track.
MELBOURNE ASTOUNDED.
In August, 1869, Jim Kelley died,
leaving Glasston and Hugh Burton
the sole witnesses of the surroundings
of Walter Kearney’s murder. Such
was the fullest knowledge which the
citizens of Melbourne or elsewhere had
of the assassination up to Friday last,
when strange things came to pass,
which astonished old colonists here
who remember the Kearney murder.
A few particulars before I come to the
sequel of this peculiar case : |
TANGIBLE EVIDENCE AGAINST THE

AIis. Kearney, in aiding the detec
tives at the time of the murder, proved
that her husband must have been in
possession, of a ring marked “Agnes”
in letters of enamel; that he often
fastened it in the clasp of a heavy gold
chain ; that in all probability Kearney
had iu his possession a receipt of goods
transmitted to him as the consignee in
Ballyrat; and that ho carried all his
coin in a rough seal-skin purse.
-Hugh Burton, tho policeman, never
lost sight of these particulars, though
he saw the suspe ted men return to
society oue by one, pardoned by the
government through their promises of
reformation. Jim Kelley became a
prominent man, and at the time of his
death was worth nearly £20,000.
Glasston traded in dry goods and spec
ulated in various ways. lie took a
hand in politics, and was mainly in
strumental in securing Air. Burton’s
promotion to the position of deputy
sheriff.
THE RING.
In the “ Half AIoon,”an aristocratic
resort kept by an old Hollander, Dep
uty .Sheriff Burton fixed his eyes long
and solemnly upon a ring worn by
Glasston. He asked Glasston’s per
mission to inspect it. Glasston, who
was about to engage in a game of bil
liards, gave him the ring. Faint
specks of black enamel were visible on
the ring, and its general appearance
aroused the early instincts of the vet
eran policeman. lie returned the
ring to Glasston, and going to the Roy
al Packet office, telegraphed to the in
spector of Police at Melbourne.
Is the wife of Walter Kearney,
murdered in ,1967, living ? Find out
if possible.
Deputy Sheriff Bur.TON.
An answer was received that Patrick
Kearney was engaged in business on
Bloom street, in this city (Sydney).
Young Kearney was found, and with
him his mother, who is described as a
comely widow of forty years.
A week ago a loan of the ring was
procured from Glasston by Burton,
who pretended that lie wanted to wear
it at a dinner. When Airs. Kearney
inspected the ring she burst into tears
and kissed it passionately.
Glasston was arrested, and after a
diligent search, Kearney’s gold chain
and seal-skin purse were found in a
compartment of an old trunk in Gjass-
ton’s house. Glasston has not yef re
covered fiqfli the fearful blow.

relatives or friends, and it is generally
rumored that he and Jim Kelly,

life, and murdered and robbed him on
the old Ballyrat road, fifteen years
