A con siderable portion of the document is de voted to a review Of our lereign vela ' tions," which continue friendly and xiaoiflo. Theresa!t of the labors ofsthe Joint Commissiodis referred to as the first step toward the just and amicable settlement of our disputes with Great Britain. Congress is recommended to make the necessary provision for the Geneva Conference, and also to take . such measures as will bring into ppeia tion the articles of the treaty relating : touching our relations with the British North American possessions. the President announces that the seizure of the territory of the Church by the Italian Government has been approved by the Administration, and that the new treaty of commerce with that pow er has been ratified. The hospitable reception of Alexis is cited as an evi dence of the cordial relations between Russia and the United States. The President takes advantage of this op portunity to display his feeling toward Mr. Catacazy, accusing the latter of, ‘•personal abuse of Government offi cials; and' persistent interference with u.o iretwccu me united States and other powers.” The Corean diffi culty, the disputes with Mexico, the overdue installments under the award of the Venezuelian Claims Commission, and the abolition of slavery in Brazil are noted in -the Message. Those who desire that - the Government of the United States should be feared and its citizens respected’abroad will tie disap pointed at the tone of the message in reference to the struggle in Cuba, It . was generally expected that the Presi : dent would urge upon Congress the necessity of prompt and decisive action in the matter, but we find in the mes sage no mention of the numerous outr ages that have been brought to the notice of the Administration, nor any © othei allusion to the subject which is absorbing.public interest, than the an nouncement that American command ers in Cuban waters have been in structed to “maintain the dignity of -ui IIIDU capacity il» if ‘ ‘ inis mncmneeaea rasa may ue jucigen from the statement made a few days since by President Grant that their combined force was Insufficient to reduce the most insignificant of the forts in the harbor of Havana. The President and the Secretary of the Treasury* both abvocate important modifications in the internal revenue system and the tariff, recommending the abolition of ail taxes from internal sources, except those collected from spirits and tobacco and for stamps, and that the tariff be removed from all arti cles which enter into general consump tion and such others.as are-not manu factured at home. The weakest portion of the Message is that which is devoted to the defence of the attempt to re establish military government in the South. Assuming, a state of affairs which it has been proved never existed, the President endeavors to conceal his attempt to dragoon the Southern States into voting for his re-election, under the pretence that the subversion of civil government was necessary for the pre servation of peace and good order, — The President takes very strongground on the Mormon' question, declaring that though the religion of the Saints shall not be interfered with, “neither polygamy nor any other violation of the existing statutes will be permitted in the Territory of the United States.” The Message closes'with an appeal to the members of Congress to unite in the greatly desired work of cleansing the civil service of the rank corruption and . notorious abuses which have characterized it under Republican ad ministration. The Message bears in ternal evidence of having been prepared under the supervision of President Grant, and adds another to the long ■list of evidences that ho is mightier with the sword than with the pen. “ More than significant was the mark ed omission by the President of the slightest reference to the irritating ques tion of San Domingo in his last, mes sage—a fact not the less agreeable and weighty in view of the emphatic pre dictions that he intended to revive that subject, and tomake-ita test upon the Republicans in Congress. Here we have the silent and potent evidence that the President f-tvors the settlement of all personal difficulties among common friends, and the removal of every mat* ter’of dispute in the Republican ranks. — JFomey’s Prese. Still more significant, perhaps,.is the fact that every Senator who opposed . Grant’s San Domingo job has been os tracised by the administration and his friends turned out of office. It will not do for Forney to claim credit for Grant’s silence (in his message) on the San Domingo question. Let Grant he ra- olectedrand’hCTwiilannox SatTDomin go and thus make a few millions of dollars for himself and relatives, If he has to do it by the army and navy. He has now one-fourth of all our war vessels stationed opposite the capital of Hayti, gs a menace to that free Repub lic not to interfere with San Domingo. Grant’s attempt (without authority) to annex this island of snakes and scorpi ons has already cost this government ten mi l lions of dollars. It was very prudent in'him, then, to say nothing In his message concerning this “ irrita ting question,” as Forney calls it: but he intends to put it through neverthe less. and at the proper time Forney and all other hirelings will be required to advocate this pet scheme. Grant and his relatives have a great many lots in San Domingo, and to make these lota valuable the island must be purchased by the United States. Mark it, Grant has not yielded bis opinion on this sub ject, ns the people of this country will learn should ho be re-elected. important Ficon WAiunrfifos, A telegram to the New York Herald states that articles of Impeachment will be preferred, In both houses of Congress, against President Grant at an early day. A canvass of both Houses has been made, and a majority of both have signified assent to sustain the impeachment charges. It, will be shown that Grant Is h.ot only on Imbecile, but that he has used bis position to make millions of dollars for himself and relatives. 141.1nOnit--Oltatil AIPOINISTOA. TION STILL. H O STILE TO Him. • At the meeting of the present session of the United States Bentje' a, strong effort was made by Republican Sena tors to have Mr. Sumner reinstated in his old position ns’chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee,- a posi tion for which he is so peculiarly quali fied and from which he was ohsted (at thq last session) by order of the admin istration, because of his opposition • to Grant's Ban Domingo spe cu,ation ' A majority of Senators were found willing ] and anxious to have Mr. Sumner re sume his old place, and a committee was appointed to wait upon the Mas sachusetts Senator and inform, him of the fact. Mr. Sumner replied at once to the committee, informing theca that it would gratify .him very much to com - ply (with their wishes. In the mean time,.however^Qrantand-hiaßocj|)Ury pf StaTeTTishV' gbt wind of what was going on, and immediately sent for Mr. Wilson, Mr. Sumner’s colleague,' who was informed that “ under no circum stances would Mr. Sumner be tolerated upon the Foreign, Relations Com mittee-”• MK Wilson and, the Repub lican Senators who were acting with him, felt like resenting this unheard of impudence and dictation on the part of the administration, but a sly intimation from Secretary Pish that those Senators who favored the reinstatement of Sum ner to his old position “ could ask no favors, in the way of patronage, from the administration,” Settled Sumner’s hash, and the attempt of his friends was at once dropped. The Philadelphia Inquirer, an ableand independent Radi cal organ, in speaking of this second onslaught upon Mr. Sumner by the Grant ring, says: “ Mr.. Sumner is, therefore, forced to take a back seat in the hour of the triumph of a party to the creation and success of which he has contributed more than any roan in Washington .and more than a brigade of the men who push him to one side. It was not deemed best by the friends of Mr; Sumner to again con test the conlmittee’s report, and it was let cro without any debate." What , a commentary Is ‘this upon what we formerly called our republican form 'of government? Just think of Grant—a man with scarcely an idea on any subject outside of horses and pups— dictating to the Senate us to how the standing committees are to be. consti tuted ; aye. not only dictating, but holding up his patronage before Sena tors, with the information that they can receive none.of |U£,.OiaYodare..jo Vi.u* committees! Was there ever such tyranny as this ? And how contemptible Is the cond act of ihe Radi cal Senators who quailed before the dictation and impudent demands of the administration. They would per >rait the leading man of their number to be stricken down and snubbed and disgraced, rather than be deprived of Grant’s corrupt political patronage.— What a yielding to. power is this? It affords additional evidence that the government is run in the interest of a ring of mercenary and utterly selfish men, with Grant at their head. Simon" Cameron, who is notoriously disqualified for the faithful discharge of the position, is chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Charles Sumner, who with all his faults and fanaticism, is a scholar and statesman, is thrust aside 1 And why? Because he, as an independent Senator, could hot endorse Grant’s fraudulent and money-making San. Domingo scheme. Notwithstanding Cameron’s unfitness for this very responsible position, he suits Grant admirably. Grant cares nothing for the fitness of men, but, he requires something else—a recognition of his grasping disposition and an en dorsement of bis San Domingo and other villainous speculating projects.— Cameron will suit him, wo repeat, for he, like Grant, is the soul of the speeu • lators and is ever ready to drive a bar gain for the ready cash. Like Grant, he ha; become a millionaire in a few years, and has been eminently success ful In covering his tracks. Both he and Grant were the strong advocates of slavery when Sumner was battling with might and main against the •* di vine institution,” and they only turned their backs, upon their principles when they found that it would pay well to do so. Now, after Sumner’s ideas and principles have triumphed, Grant and Cameron occupy the high sells in tho Radical synagogue, but the Massachu sei ts Senator, who may be considered the father of the Radical party, is snubbed and insulted in tho house of his friend-. Well, well, Sumner and all others must hereafter understand that “loyalty,” ns now understood, is nothing, more nor less, than a recogni tion of corruption, venality and.sconn drelism. “A hasty plate of soup” destroyed General Scott’s chances for the Presi dency. Basty trips to Washington, brief moments snatched from the pleasures of Long Branch, and the attractive society of party intriguers of the Murphy stripe there, characterize the Administration of General Grant.- :I ""his message to Congress by Helioses saying: 1 have thus' hastily summed up the operations of the government during the last year. If General Grant had given more time to the duties of his office and less to excursions and protracted enjoyment of sports at Long Branch, it would have been better for the whole country and for his own reputation. Perhaps then we might have been spared the dis graceful spectacle of martial suspension of habeas corpus in South Carolina, and the country would not have been humiliated by his admis sion. that the duties of his office are hastily hurried through to afford more time and leisure for associations with partisan intriguers, who are altogether unworthy, and who have the public reprobation branded npon them. ON'the first of this month seven hun dred workmen were turned out of em ployment at the navy yard In Philadel phia. Most of these men were crowded Into if last September to bo used in the October election. But the election is now over, and the Secretary of the Navy turns them adrift In the dead of winter. Another of the cruelties of Radicalism. Grant’s special friend, the pardoned bigamist Bowen, has been elected to the Legislature of South Carolina from the Charleston district.'

It la the long aesslorj.” it is also the session preceding a Presidential election, wh«n the time of. Congress, which should ba denoted 'exclusively to the public ser vice, IS generally wasted by skirmish ing over clap trap issues to go before the pe oplo for party effect. It is usual at tb.ese ante Presidential sessions for botlj sides to fire off batteries of resolu tions, bills and speeches, which are not all designed to aid the real work ol 'legislation, but for the purpose of gain ing some temporary advantages for the coming election. It is much to be re gretted at this time that such is the fact, and it would be greatly to the beneflt of the country if the custom 'could be postponed, for this occasion only, if not indefinitely. The' laws relating to the civil administration ol amendment. As »a rule the Uplted States, arid every one of the individual States indulge in too much legislation ; and one result of this is that we con- stantly need more legislation to'correct, the blunders already made or to repair the mischief don-.. Our national statute book is now in the condition which always results from excessive iegisla- tlon, and unfortunately there Is neces sity for something additional to set it right. The subjects which demand at tention are, moreover, such as require mature deliberation, and hence the greater will be the cause for regret it the careful consideration of them should be interfered with by the usual elec tioneering dodges or other " flliibuster ing” for “ political effect.” ' ■The uppermost questions at this time are those-which relate to the commer cial,, industrial, and other business in terests of the country. Taxation is far more burdensome than there Is any ' necessity for. It is burdensome in amount, and in the way in which it ii levied. This is to some extent tin result of the, hasty way in which th« sudden and extraordinary emergencies of the last ten years had to be provided for; but there is no excuse how fcr am but well matured action, and this tht country is entitled to have. The Inter nal Revenue system needs thorough reorganization, both as to the objects ol taxation and the machinery for collect ing those taxes. There are too many, objects or subjects of taxation, and by far too many officials employed. The one leads to the other; and thecoilater affairs are made puimu am? ( IiJJHYi9W' without any corresponding public good to atone for the wrong, the large number of officials made necessary by our crude revenue laws become a class of con firmed non producers, the spies and informers who crop out from the "secret service” are agencies of demoralization, and with ail this the Treasury is nol benefltted but probably damaged. the TREASURY DEFALCATIONS. The committee on expenditures in the treasury were at the department to-day and, in company with Secretary Bout well, visited the bureau of printing, with a view to look into its affairs. The re cent defalcations have caused, so much alarm that every department, of the treasury will probably be overhauled It appears that there are outside parties in New York who use treasury officials and government money to operate in specu lations.— Telegram from Washington. Read the Inst sentence of the above once more, tax-payer. It appears that there arc outside parties in New York who me treasury officials and govern ment money to operate in speculations 1 /” What a confession is this. Could “par ties in New York” have had access to the people’s treasury, except by the connivance of the custodians of the public monies? Oh, what exposures could be made if a change of adminis tration could be had. During the last six months, according to the estimate of Horace Greely, this Government has lost, by defalcations, one hundred and sixty millions of dollars 11 But what else could be expected? During the entire summer Grant and nearly every member of his Cabinet were absent from tljeir posts. They were attending horse-races and negro meetings, and for six months this great government, with its hundreds of millions of revenue pouring in, was run by clerk’s, many of whom consider it right and proper to steal all they can. Will the people put up with this scoundrelism longer ? A vigorous contest is being waged just now within the ranks of the Cold Water Army upon the subject of prohi bition. The more radical among the P emperance men insist upon complete prohibition of the sale of ail intoxica ting beverages, while the more moder ate favor the passage of a local option law by our Stole Legislature.. The Keystone Good lemplar, in speak'ng for the Order, says, that its members “hold that dram-selling is a sin and a crime, and that itshould he absolute ly prohibited by positive law” and it defines the position of the Local Optionists by declaring that “they -treat-dram-selling-as-asin-andTicfime only in certain wards or districts, if a majoity of the people say so by their votes." The Lancasters Intelligencer thinks that the radicals occupy more logical position. If it be a sin and a crime to sell liquors, wines or beer, then ought the whole business to be placed beyond the pale of legal sanction., Kansas, so progressive and humane in most things, still seems to think that the stealing of horses Is a crime of so heinous a nature that It can only be atoned for by death. True, her statute books do not so provide, but her citi zens invariably hang up to the most convenient tree the unlucky wight caught with a purloined steed In his possession. For the crime of appro priating other men’s horses ‘to their own uses, without any equivalent, two men were hung in Jewell county, Kan sas, last week. The names of these victims of the popular wrath are giben in the Kansas Journals, with an account of their summary execution, or, more properly, murder, without a shade of compunction. A murderer has as good a chance of a fair trial In Kangasas in Pennsylvania, but the horse thief ia an outlaw, for whom courts and Juries are not; ho la hunted down like a wild beast. Can It be that a horse is of more importance to Kansas than a human being? There were in Philadelphia 288-. deaths from, small pox, for the week: ending on lost Sunday. ■JHE HIGH PROfWtIOSISTS *■ " ißorntt ‘ The advocates of a high and, oppres sive tariff are in trouble. 'Mr. Blaine, speaker of the House of Representatives, ■ In appointing his committee of Ways and. Means, selected a majority of free traders. Forney, of the Press, upbraids the speaker soundly'. ‘‘The Commits o of Ways and Means of the Forty-sec-, ond Congress has a majority of free traders,” exclaims the Presi. Well, what of it ? Had the high-protection ists-those unsatisfied sharks who de sire to enrich themselves at the expense of the masses—had they any right to expect speaker Blaine to compose the Committee In the interest of the high protectionists? Mr. Blaine may not he in favor of absolute free-trade, but he Is in favor of low duties, and has always so expressed himself. The :hlghrprotcctlQnlßts;;then,:have.norl‘/hr to sensure speaker Blaine. He has his own ideas on the subject of the tariff, and those ideas, we doubt not, are in harmony with the wishes and Interests of a majority of the people. It was right and proper then that he should constitute his Ways'and Means Com-, mitteeas he did, and the. people-the toiling millions—will thank him for it. On the subject of the tariff the reflect- ing men of our country are getting their eyes open. The more this ques tion is discussed the more apparent it is that what is called “protection,” is, but another term for robbery. Our iron nabobs and other manufacturers are not satisfied with making a good profit on their productions, but they desire to secure enormous fortunes in a very few years. The people, who have suffered, so long,are beginning to see theiniquity of this high-protection business, and they are setting their faces against it. We have reason to believe that the present Congress is right on this subject >f a tariff, and we may therefore hope o see a bill introduced whlch will cut town the high rate of duties. THE TRUE BIEftNAGB OF UHS9E9. In the Titusville Courier is given what purports to be the true message of 'ioss Grant. The editor states that what has already appeared as the mes sage is a forgery. We make some ex tracts: To the Wgh Old Senate and Bouse of Representatives.' In addressing my third annual message to you, it is perhaps not necessary for me to state that I am- no more of a writer than I am of a speaker, hut I know, that on oceanjona of. this arimethlngabout myself, theTieaiih of my familyi the condition of my horses, •he result of the late prize fight, the New York frauds, the removal of my dear friend Tom Murphy, the necessity ■>f an entirely new outfit for my Long Branch establishment, the fluctuations In the gold market, the appointment of my relatives to office, the condition of the southern states, the trip of my son Fred, to Europe, Mrs. Catacazy’s out raneons conduct, and various other things too numerous to mention. THE CONDITION OF MY HOUSES. My horse fancier reports that my horses are now all In good condition.. I have several very flue trotters. Last summer one of my favorites was taken suddenly sick, while I was at Long Branch. I secured the services of the most celebrated veterinary sprgeon in the country. He saved the horse, but his bill has never been paid, and I would recommend that congress appropriate a small sum for Ibis' purpose. I herewith transmit to you Robert Bonner’s corres pondence in relation to Dexter, and would recommend that you appropriate, a sum sufficient to have two, million copies printed and circulated throughout the country, and also that you make a farther appropriation to enable me to keep up my stables in a proper manner.- THE LATE PRIZE FIGHT. ft Is a source of regret that the late prize flght.wos not more decisive in its character. lam of the opinion thatCo burn is a better man than Mace. I would recommend that If they conclude to fight again they be allowed to do so In tbe hall of the house of representatives, and that on admission fee of five dollars ne charged. The manly art of self-de fence should be fostered aud cherished, and X recommend that an appropriation i,e made to establish a national pugilistic school. THE LONG BRANCH ESTABLISHMENT. My cottage at Long Branch will, next summer, need refurnishing, and unless congress shall make an appropriation for that purpose, I shall be obliged to make important changes among federal office holders, in order to enable me to do it properly. CONDITION OP THE SOUTHERN STATES. I have no doubt.that the Judicious en forcement of the ku-kliix law will ena ble me to secure all the delegates from those states to the next republican na tional convention, and also,to secure the electoral vote of every one df those states My officers there, aided by federal troops; are arresting all prominent per sons opposed to my renomlnatlon and re-election. The manner in which my brother-in-law treated the discontented element of the republican party In Loui siana, last summer, is to be highly com mended. I would recommend that con gress pass a vote of thanks to him. 1 would recommend that the southern states be kept under military rule for an indefinite period. MY SON PRISD. When X was a boy, the impecunious condition of my venerable father pre cluded tbe possibility of my traveling abroad ‘‘strange countries for 'o see.” Now that I am well ofl, I am determined that my son Frederick shall labor noiler no such embarrassing disadvantages. Ho I have sent him to Europe in charge of j3eneraL_Shetmnn, I_dealre that—he sbonld become acquainted thoroughly with the workings of tbe governments of the old world, as you well know that we are all earnestly trying to remodel ours on the European plan, <aud of course, .under those circumstances Frederick would be my successor. I would re commend that congress appropriate the aum of fifty thousand dollars to bo for warded at once to my son, In order to enable him to travel aa becomes the son of the bead of a great nation. OTHER THINGS. It is highly essential that you should so ■hope all your legislation this winter ns to help me out in the next presidential campaign. I am determined to be re elected, If it takes the last man and the lost dollar. If the conservative republi cans give me too much trouble, 1 shall at an early day next summer, under the authority vested in me by the ku-klux bill, arrest and imprison Horace Greeley, Carl Bohurz, byman Trumbull, Governor Palmer, ex-Beoretary Cox, the editor of the New York Sun and a host of other malcontents. I have shown this message to Fish, but the old sardine says it will never do, and I rather think he hoe been writing up another one to substitute in place of this Hikam Useless Grant, President of the United States and San Domingo. *©*Carl Shurz, Republican U. 8. Senator, sold in a public speech at New ark, recently, that the system under which Grant disbursed the public pat ronage, from Minister plenipotentiary down to the poorest postmaster, was corrupt, dishonest and disgusting'. He said the New York Custom House was run in the Interest of party, not of the people, and.so corupt was the manage ment that persons were appointed with pay, but without work News Items. The Grand Duke, Alexis, is a fine player on the piano. ' ’ . President Thiers of Prance is call ed “His Moderation.”: Smelt are very plenty on the Mas sachusetts coast this season.

Forney thinks that “personal charac ter” should not enter into consideration of the'Bepublloanfl of Philadelphia. We believe It does not, when they select men for office. Thh New York 5«» raises the name of Lymafa Trumbull for President, and Samuel J. Tilden for Vice President.— Which party Is to nominate them la not mentioned. « The proposition to make up o presi dential ticket, with Curtin in the first place and Hendricks in the second, is a kind of a kangaroo idea. It would-be putting the cart before the horse. The relative party strength ot the pres ent Congress Is as follows; donate, fifty six republicans ; seventeen democrats.

C. Bowen is elec ted to the South Carolina Legislature. This is the same rascal who was convic ted, at Washington, a couple of months since, of bigamy. He was pardoned by Grant. The Legialature of South Caro lina is made up of niggers and white reprobates like Bowen. The Emperor William of Germany is in his seventy-fifth year, but his hair and beard only betray his age.— His complexion is still fresh, and his powers of endurance are still great.
