a synopsis of the President's biessage.
It reads about like his other messages.
How far the People think h'o is 'right
in his "policy", can be jidged' . :by the
result of the late election'. , .„:
le,,Oar Congressman, lion. 'D. J.
MorrelLis at his post. On the first
day he introduced a joint resolution re
questing the President to re call Rev
erdy Johnson, minister to England.
Tho resolution was 'finally referred to
the CoMmittee on Foreign Affairs.
"Day-The 'United States Sen ator etrug•
'gle still continues. The President of
the Pennsylvania Railroad ,Company
is said to be ! a prominent candidate.
Mr. Scott eon Urines to be spoken of fa
vorably in every part of the State
The party cannot do better than to
elect Mr. Scott.
THAT "FORGERY" AGAIN.—The edi
tor of the Monitor "WE" will have it
that we forged the name of J. S. Corn
man to what "WE" of the Monitor en
doreed is his own paper ai the condi
tions of tho compromise by which J.
S. Cornnian escaped trial and convic
tion for libel. Now if "WE" of the
Monitor is not J. S. Cornman then the
thing is a little mixed. If J. S. Corn
man did not sign what we published,
what did he sign ? Perhaps he will be
willing to give his readers moro light
upon the subject. That be signed his
name upon the same, piece of paper we
will, perhaps not dispute, but wo.did
not publish all that Mr. Cornman
agreed to do to stop the suit. Ilia fear
that we might forge his name to a bank
check is a good joke. A printer have
money in a bank—that's good.
If Mr. Coruman would tell the truth
in a few words, he would say that he
was vexed beenuse we, by publishing
the agreement, informed our readers
and Capt. Neely's. party friends that
the slanders published by the _Monitor
against him Wore false. Of course it
was humiliating for "WE" of the Mon•
itor to admit as much in justice to the
Captain, but as "WE" bad no evidence,
and Fort Bathurst was staring him in
the face, ho crawled out of the little
end of the born as boat be could. ,We
would adifse our .young friend "WE"
to handle hot iron carefully.

to dispense with the reading. and af•
terwards expressed a willingness to

duty to leeturo us, but to-communicate
such information as , maylib in lispos
session. as to the actual' corklitien 'of
the country. In this message he doeS
attempt to: leetnierqui 'and - I do • not
think it is in accordance with tbetlig
mity-.ofLthe'Stimato that we' should al

is the last opportunity he will have as
President, of addressing himself to the
people, and I am not willing that he
should make us the Channel through

representations and untruths.'—and
the Gerieral.earried his point.--la
the Douse the Message was in like man
ner denounced for its gross misstate
ments of fact,' and open recommenda
tion of repudiation. Mr. Schenck, of
Ohio, referring to the repudiation
clause, said :
``l look upon that part of the mes
sage as the most gross, shameless, infa
mous proposition to repudiate the debt of
the country that I have yet known to be
put forward from any quarter, except it
may be possibly in the columns of the
paper of Brick Pomeroy."
—As a mark of contempt for the au
thor the message was laid on the table
without the usual reference to Com
mittees, and no extra copies were or
dered to be printed.
On Thursday, in the' Senate; 'the
several Committees were made - up,
and the Copper Tariff bill from the
House was referred. The balance of
the President's Message was read, and

ation of our national debt' severely
condemned.—The - House' passed a
resolution for a recess from Dee. 21st
to Jan. sth. A number of new bills
were introduced and roles red. Both
Houses adjourned over until Monday
next.
Synopsis of the President's Message.
Fellow• Citizens of the Senate and louse
of Representatives:
Upon the re-assembling of Congress,
it again becomes my duty to call your
attention to the state of the Union,
and to its continued disorganized con
dition under the various laws which
have been passed tir on the subject of
Reconstruction.
Our own history—although embra
cing a period loss than a century—af
fords abundant proof that most, if not
all, of our domestic troubles are direct
ly traceable to violations of the organ
ic law and excessive legislation. The
most striking illustrations of this fact
aro furnished by the enactments of the
past throe years upon the question of
reconstruction. After a lair trial, they
have substantially failed and proved
pernicious in their results, and there
seems to be no good reason why they
should longer remain upon the statute
book. States to which the Constitu
tion guarantees a republican form of
government have been reduced tb mil
itary dependencies, in each of which
the people have been made subject to
the arbitrary will of the commanding
general. Although the Constitution
requiries that each State shall be rep
resented in Congress, Virginia, 'Rissis
sippi and Texas are yet excluded from
the two Houses, and contrary to the
express provisions of that instrument,
were denied participatidn in the re
eent'eleetion for a President and Vico
President of tho United States.
The atterapt to place the white pop
ulation under the domination of per-,
eons of color in the South has impair
ed, if not destroyed, the kindly rela
tions that had previously existed be.
tweet" them; 'and mutual distrust has
engendered •11' feeling of animosity
which, loading in some instances to
collision and bloodshed, has prevented
that co-operation between the two ra
ces so essential to the success of indus
trial enterprises in the Southern States.
Nor have the inhabitants of those
States alone suffered from the disturb
ed condition of affairs growing out of
these Congressional enactments. The
entire Union has been • agitated by
grave apprehensions of troubles which
might again involve the peace of the
nation; its interests have been injuri
ously affected by the derangement of
business and labor, and the consequent
wan t of prosperity throughout that por
tion of the country.
Under the influenceof party passion
and sectional prejudici, acts have been
passed net warranted by the Constitu
tion. Congress, refusing to perfect
the work so nearly consummated, de
clined to admit members friim the un
represented States, adopted a series of
measures which arrested the progress
of restoration, frustrated all that had
been so successfully accomplished, and
after three years of agitation and strife,
his loft the country farther from the
attainment of union and fraternal feel
ing than at the inception of the Con
gressional plan of reconstruction. It
needs no argument to ehow . that legis
lation which has produced such bane
ful consequences should be abrogated,
or else made to conform to the genu
ine principles of Republican govern-
The population of the United States
in 1790 was nearly four millions of
people. Increasing each decade about
thirty-three per cent., it reached in 1860
thirty-one millions—an increase of
seven hundred per cent. on the perm.
lation in 1790. In 1869 it is ostima
ted that it will reach thirty.eight mil
lions, or an increase of eight hundred
and sixty-eight per cont. in seventy
nine years,
The annual expenditures of the Fed
eral Government in 1791 were four
'niilliens two hundred thousand dol
lars; in 1820, eighteen million two hun
dred thousand dollars; in 1850, forty
one millions'; itr.;lB6o, sixty-throo mil
lions ; iu 1365, ‘,ti'sl4:ly thirteen hun
dred millions, and inaB6o , :it is estima
ted by. the Seerbtary of the Treasury
in his last' annum , report, that they will
;Vti three hundred and soyenty , two
mil
lions.
These startling. facts clearly illus
trate the necessity of retrenchment in
all branches of the public services.
Abuses which were tolerated during_
the war for the preservation of the na
tioffiieill.'not be endured, by the peo
ple, now that profound peace prevails.
The receipts from internal revenue and
customs
,fiave,;dtiring' the' past, tffree,
years, gradually diminished, and the
continuance of useless and extravagant
expenditures 'will involve us in nation
al bankruptcy, or else, make inevitable
an increase of faxes, already too oner•
ous, and•, in many respects obnoxious
on account-of
- their inquisitorial char
acter. --• Ono hundred millions annually
are expended for the military' fOrcb,
large portion of 'which 'is - omplOyed lit
the execution of laws both minecesaary
and_uneenStittitienal; one hundred and
fifty millions are required each year to
pay•the intei'est, on the public debt; an
army of tax4iitherers impoverishes
the. nation ; and public agents, platmd
by Congress beyond the control* the
Executive, divert from their, legitimate
purposes large sums; of money which
they collect' froth-'th'e people !in -the
Government. Judicious legislation and
prudent 'economy can- alone remedy
defects and avert evils which, if suffer
ed to exist, cannot fail to diminish Con
fidence in the public councils, and
weaken the attachment and respect of
the people towards their political in
stitutions. Without proper care the
small balance which it, is estimated
will remain in the'Treasury, at the
close of the present fiscaryear, will not
bo realized, and additional millions be
added to a debt which is now enumer
ated by billions.
It would seem but just and equitable
that the six per cent. interest now paid
by the Government should be applied
to . the reduction of the principal in
semi-annual instalments, which in six
teen years and eight months, would
liquidate the entire national debt. Six
per cent. in geld would
_at present
rates be equal to nine per cont. in cur
rency, and equivalent to the payment
of the debt one and a half times in'a
fraction loss than seventeen years.
This,' in connection with all the other
advantagoe'derived from their invest
ment; would afford to the public cred•
itors a fair and liberal compensation
for the use of their capital, and with
this they should be satisfied. The les
sons of the past admonish the lender
that it is not well to he over anxious in
exacting from the borrower rigid com
pliance with the letter of the bond. If
provision he made for payment of the
indebtedness oldie Government in the
manner suggested, our nation will rap
idly recover its wonted prosperity.
Ifdepreeiated paper is to no contin
ued as the permanent currency of the
country, and all our coin is to become
a mere article of traffic and specula
tion, to the enhancement in price of all
that is indispensable to the comfort of
the people, it would be wise economy
to abolish our mints, thus saving the
nation the care and expenses incident
to such establishments, and lot all our
precious metals be exported in bullion.
The time bas come, however, when the
Government and national banks should
be required to take the most efficient
steps and make all necessary arrange
ments for a resumption of specie pay
ments. Lot specie payments once be
earnestly inaugurated by the Govern
ment and banks, and the value of the
paper eirculatirm would directly aliprox
:mate a specie standard.
The Sucretary of the Interior re
views the operations of the Land Of
fice, Pension Office, Patent Office, and
the Indian Bureau.
During the — first fiscal year ending
Juno 30, 1863, six million six hundred
and fifty.fivo thousand seven hundred
acres of public land were disposed of.
The entire cash receipts of the General
Land Office for the same period were
81,632,715, being greater by $284,883
than the amluttt rearzed from the
same sources during the previousyear.
The entries under the homestead law
cover two million three hundred and
twenty eight thousand ninu ho mired
and twenty-three acres, nearly one
fourth of. which was taken tinder the
act ofJunc 21, 1800, which applies only
to the States of Ai:them:l, is.tissippi,
Louisiana and Merida.
Treaties with varktlt, Indian tribes
have been concluded, and will be sub
mitted to the Senate for its constitu
tional action. I cordially sanction the
stipulations which provide for reserv
ing lands for the various tribes, where
they may be encouraged to abandon
their nomadic habits and end e;zo in
agricultural and Industrie! pursuits.—
This is the only mode by which chills
ions with other tribes and with the
whites can be avoided, and the safety
of our frontier settlements secured.
The companies constructing the rail
way from Omaha to Sacramento have
been most energetically engaged in
prosecuting the work, and it is believ
ed that the line will be completed be
fore the expiration of the next fiscal
year. The six per cent. bonds issued
to these companies amounted, nn the
sth inst., to $14,337,000, and addition
al work had been performed to the
extent of $3,200,000.
The Secretary of tho Interior in
August last invited my attention to
the report of a Government, director
of the Union Pacific Railroad Compa
ny, who had been specially instructed
to examine the 'oration, construction
and equipment of their road. I sub•
witted for the opinion of tho Attorney
General certain questions in regard to
the authurity of the Executive which
arose upon this report, and those which
had from time to time been presented
by the commissioner appointed to in
spect each successive section of the
work. After carefully considering the
law of the case, ho affirmed the right
of the Iflxecutive to order, if necessary,
a thorough revision of the entire road.
Commissioners were thereupon ap
pointed to examine this and other
linos, and have recently submitted a
statement of their investigations, of
which the report of the Secretary of
the Interior furnishes specific informa
tion.
The report of the Secretary of War
contains information of interest and
importance respecting the several Bu
reaus of the War Department and the
operations of the army. The strength
of our military force, on the 30th of
September last, was forty-eight thous
and men, and it is computed that, - by
the first of January next,'this number
will kie.deereased to forty-three thous
and: - It is the opinion of the
.Seere.7
tary'of War that within the next year
a considerable diminution of-the infan
try forces may be made witheutsdetri-'

:thousand five hundred.. An. increase
of navy yard facilities is recommended,
as a measure' whiCh.`will, in the - event
of war, be productive of economy and
security. The expenditures of the de
partment during the last fiscal year
were 820,120,304, and the estimates
for the coming year amount to 820,-
993;114. • •
The Postmaster. General's 'report
furnishes a gull and clear exhibit of
the operations and condition of the
postal service. The ordinary postal
revenue for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1868, was '510,292,600, and
the total. expenditures, embracing all
the service 'for which special 'appro
priations have been :Made by Congress
amounted to $23,730,582, showing an
excess of expenditures of $6,437,991.
Deducting from the expenditures the
sum of 81,806,525, the amount of ap
propriations for ocean steamship and
other special service, the excess of ex
penditures was $5,511,406. By using
an unexpended balance in the Treas—
ury of $3,800,000, the actual sum for
which a special appropriation is re
quired to meet the deficiency is $741,-
466. The causes which produced this
largo excess of expenditure oyor reve
nue were the restoration of service in
the late insurgent States and the put•
ting into operation of new, service es
tablished by acts of Congress, which
amounted, within the last two years
and a half, to about 48,700 ' miles—
equal to more than ono third of the
whole amount of the service.' at the
close of the war. New postal conven
tions with Gr.,at Britain, North Ger
many, Belgium, tho Netherlands,
Switzerland, and Italy, respectively,
have been carried into effect. Under
the provisions important improvements
have resulted in reduced rates of in.
ternationtl postage, and enlarged mail
facilities with European countries.—
The cost of the United States trans.
Atlantic ocean mail service since Jan
uary 1, 1868, has been largely lessened
under the operation of those new con•
ventions, a reduction of over one-half
having been effected under the now
arrangement for Ocean mail steamship
service which went into effect on that
date.
No important question has occur
red during the Wit year in our accus
tomed cordial and friendly intercourse
with Costa Rica, Guatemala, llondur•
as, San Salvador, France,Austria, Bel
glum, SWitzerland, Portugal, the No
tiled:Ands, Denmark, Sweden and Nor
way, Greece, Turkey, Pdrsia,
Liberia, Morocco, Tripoli, Tunis, Mae
cut, Siam, Borneo, and Madagascar.
Cordial- relations have also boon
maintained with the Argentine and
the Oriental Republics. The express
ed wish of Congress that our national
good offleos might be tendered to
those republics, and also to Brazil and
Paraguay, for bringing to an end the
calamitous war which has so long
been raging in the valley of La Plata,
has been assiduously complied with,
and kindly acknowledged by the bel
ligerents. That important negotia
tion, however, has' thus far boon with
out result.
Charles A. Washburn, late United
States Minister to Paraguay, having
resigned, and being desirous of return
ing to the United States, the Rear
Admiral commanding the South At
lantic Squadron was early directed to
send a ship-of-war to Ascunsion, the
capital of Paraguay, to receive Mr.
Washburn and his family, and remove
them from a situation which was rep
resented to be endangered by faction
and foreign war. The Brazilian com•
mandor of the allied invading forces
refused permission to the Wasp to pass
through the blockading forces, and
that vessel retarded to its accustomed
anchorage. Remonstrance having
been made against this refusal, it was
promptly overruled, and the Wasp
therefore resumed her errand, recoiv
ed Mr. Washburn and family, and con
voyed them to a safe and convenient
seaport. In the meantime an excited
controversy had arisen between the
President of Paraguay and the late
United States Minister, which it is un
derstood grow out of his proceedings
in giving asylum in the United States
legation to alleged ezemies of that re
public. The question of the right to
give asylum is one always difficult,
and often productive of grot embar
aesment In Status well organised
and established, foreign powers refuse
to concede or exercise that right, ex
cept as to persons actually belonging
to the diplomatic service. Qu the
other hand, all such powers insist 'up
on exorcising the right of asylum in
States where the law of nations is not
fully acknowledged, respected and
obeyed. The President of Paraguay
is understood to have opposed to Mr.
Washburno's proceedings the injurious
and very improbable charge of per
sonal complicity in insurrection and
treason. The correspondence, how
ever, has not yet reached the United
States.
Our relations during the past year
with Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile
have become especially friendly and
cordial. Spain and the Republics of
Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador have ex
pressed their willingness to accept the
mediation of the United States for ter
minating the war upon the South Pa
cifist coast. Chile has net finally de
clared upon the question.
Comprehensive national policy
would seem to sanction the acquisi
tidivand incorporation - into our Feder
al Union of the several adjacent con
tinental and insular' communities as
speedily as it can be ~dnne peacefully,
lawfully, and without any violation of
'national justice, faith and honor. For
eign possession or control of those
com
munities has hitherto hindered- the
"growth and impaired the influence of
:the United States Chronic revolution
and anarchy there would be equally
injurious. Each ono of them, when
firmly established as-an independent
republic or when incorporated Into thp,
United Statos;'woiild bo'a new leOtirOi3
of strength and power.
It cannot be long before it will be
eoine necessary 'for Government
to lend some-effective aid to the solu
tion of,thepolitieal,and social problems
which 'are continually kept before the
world by the two republics of the is
land of St. Domingo, and which are
now disclosing themselves more die
tinctly than •heretofore in the :island
Of-Cuba. , The,subject is commended
I to your consideration' With, all .the
more earnestness because I am satis
fied that the ,time has arrived when
even so direct a proceeding as a' pro
position for an annexation of-the two'
republics of the island of - St. Domingo
,would not only' receive the consent-of
fhb people interested, but: would ,nlso
give satisfaction to all other foreign
nations.
We are not advised of the action.of
the ChineSe Government upon the lib
eral and auspicious treaty which
,was
,recently eolebrated with its plenipo
tentiaries at,this capital.
Japan'remains a theatre of civil war,
marked by religious incidents and po
litical severities peculiar' to tliat;leng
isolated empire. The Executive bas
hitherto maintained stria neutral ity
among the belligerents, and 'acknowl
edge with pleasure that it has been
frankly and fully sustained in
.that
course by the enlightened concurrence
and co-operation of the other treaty
powers, namely, G rent Britain, France,
the Netherlands, North Germany and
Italy. ,
Spain having recently , undergone a
revolution' marked by' extraordinary
unanimity and preservation 'of order,
the Provisional Govern metdestahlish
ed at Madrid has been recognized,'and
the friendly intercourse which has so
long happily existed between the two
countries remains unchanged.
I. renew the recommendation con
t eed in my. communication to Con
gress dated the 18th of July last=a
copy of which accompanies this mes
sage-,7that the judgment of the peo
ple should be taken on the propriety
of so amending the Federal Constitu
tion that it shall provide: -.
_ .
First. For an election of President
and Vice President. by a direct -vote of
the people, instead of through the agen
cy of electors, and making them ineli
gible for re-election to a second term.
Second. For a distinct designation
of the poison who shall discharge the
duties of President, in the event of a
vacancy in that office by the death,
•resignation, or removal of both the
President and Vico President.
Third. For the election of Senators
of the United States directly by the
people of the several States, instead' of
by the Legislat arcs; and
Fourth. For the limitation to a pe
riod of years of the terms of Federal
judges.
Profoundly impressed with the• pro
priety of making these important modi
fications in the Constitution, I respect
fully submit them for the early and
mature consideration of Congress. In
Congress are vested all legislative
powers, and upon them devolves the
responsibility as well for framing un
wise and excessive laws, as for neg
lecting to devise and adopt measures
absolutely demanded by the wants of
the country. Let us earnestly hope
that before the expiration of out• re
spective terms of service, now rapidly
drawing to a close, an all wise Provi
dence will so guide our counsels as to
strengthen and pi oserve the' Federal
Union, inspire .reverence for the Con
stitution, restore prosperity and hap
piness to our whole people, and pro
mote "on earth peace, good will to
ward men." ANDREW JOHNSON.
Washington, Dec. 9, 1868.
Speeches of Grant and Farragut,
Gon. Grant and Admiral Farragut
were entertained by the Union League
Club, New York, with a grand dinner
and reception at their Cltib Beam oil
last Tuesday evening. In reply to a
toast—" Our Guest, the General of the
Army and President elect,"—General
Grant favored his entertainers with
the longest speech he has yet made,
which short as it is, abounds in good
sound, common sense. Gen. Grant
said :
Gentlemen of the Union League :—lt
is with extreme regret that I find my
self unable to . respond in appropriate
language to the warmth of my feeling
with which this toast has' beetireceiv
ed. You all know how unaccustomed
I am to public speaking. (hearty laugh
ter and applause,) how undesirable a
talent I think it is to possess, how lit
tle good it generally does (renewed
laughter and cheers,) and how desir
ous lam to see more of our public mon
follow the good example which I be
hove, in this particular, if in no other,
I have set them, I need not say. (Tre
mendous applause) I must, however,
express my_ acknowledgments: to the
Union League of this city, as well as
to the Union Lsague _of other cities,
for the great benefits they conferred
upon the Government during the Re
bellion through which we have passed
of late years. I wish to acknbwledge
the liberality toward myself and to
ward the soldiers serving against the
Rebellion, and to thank them for it.
Admiral Farragut was next toasted :
"Our NaVy and its Great Admiral."—
The gallant Admiral responded as fol
lows :
Gentlemen of the Union League :—I
rise simply to return my thanks of
the Navy of the United States, being
its appropriate representative on this
occasion. But for fear of trespassing
upon the new doctrine laid down by
the President ofshort speeches, (laugh
ter and applause,) I will simply 1113911r0
you that I not only feel grateful for
you recollections of the Nary during
the war as well as on the present oc
casion and the compliment you have
paid it, but for tke more solid benefits
I have received at your hands.
—The'response of the Admiral' was
also greeted with vociferous cheering.
