The Pmident s Message The message of the Pre*ident of the United State*, tayttho .4yr, treat* ef many question* of deep interest and importance to tho nation at thi* time. It commence* with the declaration that "In the mid*t of great national prosperity a financial crlal* ha* occurred that ha* brought low fortune* of gigantic proportion a Political parti •anthip ha* almost ceaed to exist, eepeol ally in the agricultural region*, and final ly the capture upon thejhigh *ea* of a vs.- sel bearing our flag ha* tor a time threat ened the mod *eriou* consequence*, and ha* agitated the public miud from on# end eflhe country to the other." The an nouncement is then made that the rela tion* between the United Stale* and j France, Uermnny, Italy, ltu**ia and the miner Kuropean |Hiwer are ef a most cordial character, and a review presented of the action of.the government in relation le the Geneva award and the determina tion of *o much of the boundary line be tweln the United Slate* and the poo- •lout of Ureal Britian a *m lett uncom pleted bjr the Cotulioenre of lhouii|tuf an act appropriating the amount necewarjr to liquidate the award against tho Uttltod filtltt. Ho like viae urge* the creation of a special court, to conaiat of three judgv* who ahall be em powered to hoar and .determine claim* of alien* upon the United Stale*, arising out ot act* committed againtt their peraout'or property during the insurrection. An application I rout tho Republic of San Domingo to the United State* for Ihc latter to eaercito a protectorate over the former ia tranamitted to Congre** by the Proaident for their conideration. But no opinion U eipre**ed in relation to the mat ter hy Proaident Urant, lie leave* the whole que*tien blank to Car a* govern mental opinion*, view* and suggestion* are concerned. The difference between thi* courte and the President importuning Senator* to vota for a treaty of annexation batwen Ban Domingo and the United Stalee is e marked a* to challenge the at tention of the country, and *tarl inquirie* a* to ilia reason* for thi* change of front on the part ef the administration. 1 The fact* ol the ca*e of the Virginiu* are then Hated, and tba revolution of June 1e64, quoted, which declare* "that Ameri can vessel* on the Ibigh tea* in time of peace, bearing the American dag, remain under the jurisdiction of the country to which tbey belong, and, therefore, any visitation, molestation or detention of such vessel by fcrce, or.by tho exhibition of force, on the part of a foreign power, i* in derogation of the sovereignty of the Uni ted State*." Under this doctrine a de mand for reparation was made upon Spain. That government reognixed the justice of the demand, and arranged for the imme diate delivery of the ve**el, and far the surrender of the sutvivore of the passen ger* and crew, and for a talute to the flag, and for proceeding* looking to the punith ment'of thoee who may be proved to.have been guilty of illegal act* of violence to ward* ciliaent of the U nited Stales, and also toward indemnifying those who may be shows to be entitled to indemnity The President cloee* thi* portion of hi* message in thelollowing manner; "The embargoing of American estate* in Cuba, cruelty to American citizen* delected in the act of hostility to the Spanish govern ment, tho of prisoner* taken with arm* in their hand*, and Anally, the capture upon the high sea* of a vessel tail ing uader the United Stale* registry, ha* culminated in an outburst of indignation that ha* teemed for a time to threaten 'war." In.relation to financial matters, the President, after alluding to the late penic, says: "My own judgment is that, how ever much individuals may have sufiered, one long step has been taken toward spe cie payments; that we can never have permanent prosperity until n specie basis is reached, and that a specie basia'cannvl be reached and maintained until our ex ports .(exclusive of {gold, pay far our im parts, interests due abroad and other specie obligations or so nearly so ei to leave an appreciable accumulation of the precious metals in the. country from the products of our mines." Hs also submits to the consideration of Congress whether many of the financial diMcullies could be met end overcome by eulberixing the Secretary of the Treasury to issue at any time to the national banka'o f issue any amount of their notes below e fixed per centage of amonnt, depositing with the Treasurer of the United States an equal amount ef government bends, equal to the amount of notes demanded, the banks to forfeit to the [government say from four per cent, of the bonds so pledged during j the time they remain with the Treasurer as security for the increased circulation, the bonda so pledged te be redeemable by the banks at their pleasure, either in whole or in pert, by returning their own bills ' for cancellation to an amount equal to the face of the bonds withdrawn. In any modification of[the present laws regula ting national banks, as a further step to wards preparing for a resumption of spe cie payment, the President invites the at ' tention of Congress to the consi deration ef the prepreiety of exaeting'from them the retention as a part of their reserve j either the whole or e pert of the gold ( interest accruing open the bonds pledged as security for their issue. In conclusion, the President says : "These suggestions are thrown out for your consideration without any recom mendations that they shall be adopted literally, but hoping that tbe best meth od may be arrived at to secure such an elasticity of the currency as will keep employed ell the [industries of the coun try end prevent such en [inflation as will put off indefln itely the presumption of spo cie payments, an object so devoutly to be wished for by all, and by none more earn estly than tbe classof people mest directly interested, those who earn their bread by the sweat ef their brows." Cheap transportation, the affairs of the , War Department, the , Poetoffice Depart- , meat, the Department of Justice and the ( District of Columbia are all mentioned by < the President, and he ends his message by a recommendation for general amnesty and the passage of a law to better secure the civil rights of freemen in the United States. War Inevitable. Spain Kef uses to Comply with the Terma of the Protocol, Washington, Doc. 6.—There is another and unexpected delay in the execution of the terms of the protocol between Sec retary Pish and Admiral Polo relative to the release of the Virginius. Yesterday was the day on which Spain agreed to turn the vessel over to the United. States, but up to to-night she still laid at her wharf in Havana under protection of a Spanish officer end crew, but unmolested by the Cubans. This Government, it is understood, has ngt lost its faith in the 1 power of the Castelar Government to ful . (11 its promise, though the latter certainly has come to timo in its previous agree ment end reasons that the delay arises , from the conciliatory course which Casle , ler is pursuing towards the Cuban authori > ties. Our Government, in order that the ! Spanish naval offlcars might be entirely j free to take the veesel out of Havana, has i ordered no United States vessels in the harbor, but e vessel will doubtless bo > found out on the high sees or within a marine league of the coast to receive the . the Virginius from a Spanish man-of-war. 1 The despatches received here from Havana _ show that tha excitement there as repre -0 seated in the press despatches is exagger • a ted yet It i* not denied that affairs are so critical that serious difficulties may break oat any moment.

It appear* j that Flaherty, the man who died yester- 1 day, saw a sleigh standing in the street' without a driver, and stole therefrom a'; bottle containing what ho supposed to be | sherry, but which proved to bo wine ofL Calchicum. This he shared with the in- h matos of the tenement in which he lived, I, and some neighbor*, with the fatal results mentioned. *♦ • ... I 1 In Linn county, lowa, S. J McEinley, j, a traveling agent, lias recoverad f12,000h damages against the Chi< ago and North- ( western Railroad Company ler injuries re- , ceived at tho hand* ola muscular brake- ( man who handled him roughly because ( he insisted upon resuming a seal in what is , called the "ladies car" which he had oc ] cupiad for part of the trip lie was making, , and upon which he had left his coat and ( satchel. Anolhei recent case is reported , where a passenger having had the audnc- | ity to enter a "ladies car" was promptly ejected, and in consequence recovored , s4,fiUO damages from the railroad compa ny. In Kansas a case has just been deci ded which involves a new principle, so < far as judicial decisions lire concerned. A 1 respectaho nbysician of Kansas City bought ' a ticket, which was taken up by the con ductor and a check given in its stead. Tha doctor put tha check in hi* hat hand and then indulged in a nap, from which be was rudely awakened by the conductor, who charged him with stealing the check from a passenger in the forward car. The result was that the doctor was put off the train, and the railroad company was com pelled to pay SI,OOO and costs for tho in convenience and indignity he suffered. One more case, recently decided in Dison, 111., is also worth notice from its novelty. A man named William Reed purchased a ticket and went on board a Pullman palace car, but lost it after entering the car and before exhibiting it to the conduc tor. Though he procured a written state ment from the ticket agent to prove that he had bought and pnid for hi* ticket the conductor of the car expelled him, where upon he brought an action against the Pullman l'ullace Car Company for dam ages, and recovered SB,OOO. In the course of time tho managers of railroad compa nies generally are likely to loam that it will be for their interest to employ only cour teous and sensihlu conductors, and to in struct all their employees that passengers have rights which it is not proper to dis regard. Saturday, tho '-->1 ult., A. I*. Harris of Jersey Shore (hot two dour dead at one shot. The bullet pasted through the head of one nnd the shoulder of the other. The same feat was accomplished by a man named ilal), near Pentiold, Cloarfiold county, two weeks ngo. James Switr.or, of the Ax Fuctary, a lad of 15 years, with his falhur, was out hunting in the Seven Mountains last week. The boy shot four deer and his father two. That boy is undoubtedly tho champion gf bit age in the State. Ugly Public Debt Showing.

Hills For The Repeal or Tit# Salary Grab. T.'ie proposed repeal of the'salary grab excites great iuterest in Congress but it is admitted that it will pans both house*. Mr. Hale (Me.) will iutrodure the bill prepared under direction of the caucus committee, and Mr. Niblack dud.) will submit hi* from the Democratic aide. Mr. Hale's bill fixe* the pay of member* of the present Cougrcs* at SIO,OOO, and provides that a sufficient amount shall be withheld on the succeeding paymeul* to member* who have drawn their pay for the last nine months at the rate of $7,500, ao that the whole amount shall not exceed the sum above named. It provides that members shall receive, as now, their actual travelling expenses once each way to and from their homes for each session of Congress, ami make* no allowance for j ostage and inci dentals. Thus it proposes to make the ealary of members even less than it was before the increase, wheu all extras and the privilege of franking were cutoff. In tbe opinion of many members the bill goes too far, and it probably will not peLM in this shape, it contains a provision moreover reducing the aalary of the President to the old figure alter 1877. General Butler will offer several amendment* to the bill, one of which is designed to secure the return of the "back pay" of the member* who are re-elected from tbe Forty-second Congress. Thi* of course canuot be legally dope, but it i* supposed that Butler intend* to return bis own back pay after making tbi* proposition. Mr. Hale's bill is nearly the same a* that offered io the other branch by Senator Wright (la.) The Hooaac tunnel in Massachusetts, which at last ha* been bored com pletely through the mountain, though not yet completed for use, is five mile* long. It was begun iu 1867, sixteen year* ago. It* estimated cost waa $3,350,000, and a contract wa* made to excavate the tunnel ami build a double track railroad through ilfor' that sum. In reality it ha* already i cost $12,300,000, and it will require the expenditure of about SBOO,OOCr ( more to prepare it for traffic* These facts are of interest in connection with the project to tunnel the Alleghany Mountains in order to extend the, James Kiver and Kanawha Canal; at the national expense, so as to make a connection with the great natural j watercourses of (he West. Judging from the experience of Massachusetts in relation to the Hoosac tunnel, it; would require about thirty-two yean, and an expenditure of some $25,000,- j <>oo to construct the proposed tunnel through tbe Alleghaniee. leaving altogether out of the question the coetj |of the canal proper. Western farm ! era who place their reliance for io-1 creased prioes for their crops upon; tbe construction of ibis canal, if there j are any such, must prepare themselves for a great exerciseof patience. Representative Small, of New Hampshire, ha* prepared a bill to restore the franking privilege, and also to allow uew*paper ao be sent , free through tbe mails in the county where they are published.

MAX Kni.au av A BEAR.—A man nam ed John Groves went out hunting in Clearfield township, Cambria county, one day lust week. During bis travels, he came across the cub of a bear, which he •hot and wounded. The cub set up a ter rific howl, and preiently the mother bear made its appearance on the scene of ac tion. True to her maternal instincts, she attarkod the man with great ferocity, and a strugglo for life or death ensued. Groves was a powerful man, but he proved unable te cope with the vicious brute. lie was thrown te the ground, and—horrible to re late- -was absolutely torn to pieces I The only eye-witness of Grove's death escaped alike fate only through sudden and precip itate flight.
