The Message.
Tlio following summary of the
PresidcMit’s message is taken from
the Savannah News:
The President’s message is not a
gceit Sta^e.fuifiei-. It is, however, a
very satisfactory review of the re-
prrrW^TrfTari os of the
various departments. As a rule, the
shggestions of the .Secretaries are
adopted. Here and there the
Presidedt ventures upon a sugges
tion or a recommendation of his
own. It appears that the country is
nt peace with all other countries,
ami that thare is no cause for appre
hending trouble from any quarter*
Quite a number of treaties of a
commercial character have been
negotiated in the last year, tlie
effect of which will be, probably, to
extend our trade. Tne President is
es]*ecially solicitous that there
should he closer commercial rela
tions with Mexico, and is, therefore
anxious for the ratification of the
treaty lately negotiated witl: that
country. He is iff favor, however,
of compelling a greater respect for
• the rights of American citizens in
Mexico, lie doesn’t like the way
our vessels' are treated in Cuban
ports, and the onerous burdens
placed upon some of our exports to
Turkey do not meet his approval.
He suggests measures of retal
iation. Turning to the Treasury he
finds too much money there, and
says that the revenues must be cut
down, but doesn’t want the cutting
down process to he begun at once.
He thinks that some of the surplus
could he got rid of with advantage
in building a decent navy, and
providing coast d efenses. He sees
plainly that if the revenues are not
reduced there will soon he financial
troubles, because the surplus must
he applied to the payment of the
debt, snd as the debt is largely
owned by the national banks, the
circulations will be restricted in
proportion to the amount of bonds
called in. He adopts the suggesion
of the Secretary of the Treasury
that the law taxing bank circulation
be repealed, and the banks be allwed
to issue circulation to the extent of
90 per cent, of the market value,
instead of the face value of the
bonds they hold.
The President is emphatic in his
objection to the reception of
England’s paupers. He wants
England to understand that she
cannot impose lier“paupers on u
by way of Canada. He favors
taking in the trade dollars at a
small per cent, above their value
as bullion. His recommendation
respecting State militia will prob
ably meet with pretty general
approval. He differs with the
Postmaster General relative to
postage on drop letters. He favors
one cent postage. He, of course,
advocates Federal aid for educa
tion. The mormons are subjects of
his displeasure. He doesn’t have
much confidence in mild measure
in dealing with them. The Territo
rial Legislature ought to be abolish
ed in his opinion, and a commission
appointed to make the polygamists
see the wickedness of their conduct.
He touches on the civil rights
decision, but goes no farther than
to say that any legislation looking
to the protection of the negroes in
their civil rights will have his
approval.
The two points of the message that
may elicit some discussion are the
recommendation relative to the
tax on national bank circulation
and the suggestion that a part of
the surplus revenue be expended
on the navy and coast defenses.
will never be another such here or
anywhere else. It was the occa
sion of our municipal election; and
although this is professedly a “dry”
town, there was plenty of knock-
emstiff lying around loose, which
caused more noise and rowdyism
during the day and night than has
been known here for some time.
It is generally supposed that
prohibition means to prohibit, but
it failed of its mission here last Sat
urday. I am told that strong pro
hibition men bought nigger votes
with whisky. How is that for busi
ness. As long as the colored vote
can be purchased at any price, for
any consideration, the elective
franchise in this country is simply
a farce, and should be abolished it
the evil cannot be remedied. That’s
my motto.
It seems that Mr. Gabbett, super
intendent of the railroad from At
lanta to Montgomery has been con
vinced that the people along the
line have some rights that must be
respected. Ilis “progressive” poli
cy of not allowing tlm passenger
trains to stop at certain points a-
long the line was working injury to
those points, and he wisely conclu
ded to ’bout face, and heed the
complaints of the injured ones.
Railroads may be individual pro
perty, but they owe their existence
to the people—their interests are
mutual. The people could exist
without the railroads but I defy a
railroad to exist without the peo
ple. It cant be did.
Has Mrs. Pinkham risen from
the dead ; I see her “picter” again
in the Constitution. If her. medi
cine won’t kill any better than that,
she had better try a dose of strych
nine. That will keep her under the
“yeth.”
Col. Digglebypeck visited the
Gate City, the other day; and Miss
Bangwliay is visiting Miss Snick
ers. But probably this isnt much
news to your readers.
This new time business gets
square away with me. Our city
clock is twenty minutes behind
work time, and things are kinder
mixed. I am sorry for the old
clocks. They have been running
on “tick” for years; and now, after
wearing themselves out at hard ser
vice, to be suddenly yanked back
twenty minutes is two wretched
bad for anything.
Mr. Samuel Hill of this place and
Miss Emma Wisdom the accom

dence of the bride’s father. Hap

Christmas is looked for here about
the 25th inst., with its usual accom
paniment of noise, expense and
stem-winding tomfoolery—that is,
if it is not baulked by the new time
arrangement.

Cram’s Unrivaled Family Atlas
Is a new work that claims great
er attention than we can at this
writing give it. For completeness
in geographical details, we belies e
it to be unequaied, and it is gar
nished with statistical tables and
diagrams of great value—notably,
the extent of railways and tele
graphs in the United States and the
world, population, public debt, pro
ducts, wealth, army and navy, etc.
etc. One very valuable'map gives
the position of the whole northern
hemisphere, with regard to the
jMile, something new in the atlas
line. There is also a very fine chart
of the world, on Mercator’s projec
tion. Maps of states and divisions
are minutely exact and the map of
China is perfected from new and
valuable data. In mechanieal fin
ish it is of the best and we risk
nothing in recommending it as a
work of the highest permanent val
ue.
