Mr. P. Aug. Metzgcr, who for the past
twenty-sue years has been associated with
the dry goods houses of R. E. Fabnesteck,

F. Haughmann, themselves for upwards of
a dozen years connected with Mr. Fahne

A " CHAMPION " TEST.
Farrell A Herring's Sate Subject te Eleven
Days' Heat.
Taken Out of the GrelT Warehouse Fire,
with Content Uninjured.
On Friday, in the progress of the remev
al of the debris, from the recently burned
warehouse of II. B. Greff & Ce., at the
corner of the railroad and West Lemen
street, the safe used in their business was
taken out. Mr. Geerge L. Reming
ton, general agent for Parrell &
Herring, superintended the examination
of its contents. The safe was in the
most exposed pau of the buildiug. The
fire raged under it und all about it and the
great mass of burning grain, and timber
crashed down upon it. Fer eleven days
it lay iu the ruins and for a full week a
glowing mass of red het coals were lying
in its vicinity. When opened,
though the hinges had melted
in the intense hcat,net a paper nor the leaf
of a single one of the books in il was in
jured. Wc have seen some of the papers
taken out and they are as white as that en
which this paper is printed. The carpet
laid en the iloer of the safe is net even
singed nor in the slightest degree injured.
Messrs. 'Greff & Ce., could very readily
give Mr. Remington the following letter
ter his firm :
Lancaster, P., Dee. 3, 1880
Mews. Farrell & Ce., 031 Chestnut street.
Philadetyliia :
Gentlemen : This certifies tbat en tlie
night of November 23, 1880, our four
story brick elevator building was burned,
together with its entire contents. Wc had
in our office one of your Herring's Cham Cham
peon fire-proof safes. The whole front of
our building was filled with graiu which
fell upon the safe and burned for
seven days before being extinguish
ed. Te-day our workmen remov
ed the burned grain and debris,
from off the safe where it had brcu buried
and baking for the last 10 days, and upon
opening it net a scrap of paper was scorched
nor injnred and the entire contents arc in
a perfect state of preservation, notwith
standing they had passed through such a
fiery ordeal. We most heartily recommend
your safes as being truly the Champien
safes of the world. Will ship our safee
you for repairs believing it -te be lire-proof

THE MESSAGE.
Last Annual
Deliverance of
Hayes.
Mr. R. B.
A FULL ABSTRACT OF A LONG STATE
DOCUMENT.
"Southern Frauds" and "Negro Oppres
sion " Condemned The Mormea Ques
tion Important Treaties with China
A Leng Chapter ea Civil Ser
vice lMfbrm Refunding at
a Lew Bate of Interest
Urged The Depart
ment Keperts
Beriewed.
In his last annual message sent te Con Cen
grers te-day, Mr. Hayes covers mero paper
than in any of his preceding documents of
r .- r .T . ...
tne same character.
It starts out with a review of the pres
ent condition of the country, and dwells at
length upon the rapid growth of the coun
try, our national prosperity, our bountiful
crops and sound financial system and pre
dicts still greater prosperity for the future.
Mr. Hayes incidentally alludes te the
growth of education throughout the coun
try and te the necessity of festering it by
proper legislation ; and in reviewing the
report of the commissioner en education
gives some details of a plan approved by
him for the further development of educa
tional facilities.
The Southern question is treated at con
siderable length. The writer expresses
satisfaction with the outlook of afiairs iu
the Southern states. He believes that the
Seuth is steadily advancing in the direc
tien of political freedom and toleration,
and that before long the ballet in that sec
tion will be as free as in the North. He
also expresses the belief tbat the era of
bloodshed en account of political differ
ences has passed, and points te the fact
that there is new less intimidation and
violence in the Seuth than was practised a
few years age. The bloodshed era has
been succeeded by an era of fraud and
misrepresentation through tissue ballets
and ether devices of misrepresenting the
real strength and disposition of the colored
man, but while he is cheated in this way
his physical rights arc begining te be
almost universally respected. The next
stage in Southern development will seen
come. This will arrive through divisions
in the white ruling element, and when
these divisions come the negre will be an
object of protection and interest te all po
litical parties. Through this division
something like an honest ballet will be
secured and the rights of all respected.
He thinks that education in the Seuth
will ultimately restore the harmony be
tween the two sections and raise the negre
te a plane of development where he wilfbc
able te protect himself.
Upen the Mermen question Hayes uses
plain language, and urges Congress te
adept such measures as will secure the
speedy abolition of that evil. He says the
fact that se large a community has been
permitted te live in open defiance of the
laws of the United States and of morality
is a national disgrace, and ene that should
be remedied without delay. Congress is
called upon te give early and earnest at
tention te this subject, that the people of
Utah may be required te conform te the
same laws and regulations that govern the
rest of the country. He suggests te Con
gress tbat if there is no way of reaching
polygamists tinder the present organiza
tion of the territory, its entire system of
local government should be reorganized
with a -view of providing a swift aud speedy
method of presecutiug and properly pun
ishing all who persist in practicing poly
gamy. The next subject discussed is civil ser
vice reform, and furnishes one of the
longest chapters in the message. The
financial chapter is.the only ether one that
approaches it in length. Mr. Hayes be
lieves in appointing geed men and con
tinuing them in office during geed beha
vior. He bclieves also in separating gov
ernment services from politics, elaborates
his views upon this subject, and points in
illustration te the improvement made in
the administration of the New Yerk custom-house
and in the New l erk post pest
office. He then takes up the subject of our for
eign relations as presented by the state
department, and reviews the condition of
afiairs existing between this government
aud leading foreign governments. There
are three subjects that are outside of the
routine report of pleasant relations with
ether countries. The part relating te
England gives the current history of the
North American fisheries question, and
repeats the views in a special message that
lie sent te Congress last spring, which, in
effect, recommended the restoration of the
duty en Canadian itsh and hsh oil. the
recommendation of the secretary of state
in regard te improving our commercial
relations by the co-operation of the entire
consular service, as agents iu promoting
the interests of American commerce, arc
earnestly commended te the attention of
Congress. The full reports of the investi
gations of our consuls and the better chan
ncls indicated by them for a profitable
commerce, are used te recommend legisla
tion for the development of our merchant
marine. Hayes does net believe in sub
sidies, but he does approve of giving lib
eral mail contracts te pioneer merchant
marine enterprises, as ene means of en
couraging an industry which he thinks
through an unwise policy is needlessly
languishing.
The next subject of special interest in
our foreign relations consists of a recital
of the appointment of the Chinese commis
sion and its work. lie premises te send a
special message upon this subject when the
text of the treatise is received at the state
department. The point of these treaties
is given, se far as is proper te divulge them
at the present time. He says that the
first treaty is a modification of the Bur Bur
liugame treaty and selves satisfactorily
the Chinese .question in politics in this
country. The Chinese government is net
at all anxfbustehave its subjects emigrate
and was willing te meet our commission
mere than halfway in all restrictions upon
Chinese immigration te this country sug
gestedbythe commission. The point of
the second treaty relates entirely te com
merce, but as the state department has net
get the text of the document, the message
briefly summarizes the facts as gaining te
the country increased commercial facilities
with the hope that gradually commercial
relations will be unrestricted in all parts
of that empire.
Following this comes Mr. Hayes's finan
cial chapter. He takes up the history of
the treasury department during his ad
ministration, and embodies in his message
Secretary Sherman's review of the history
of specie resumption. He devotes con
siderable attention te the subject of re
funding,, but in this he merely fellows
Secretary Sherman. He calls upon Con
gress te take steps te refund the $700,000,
000 of bends that fall due next year, and
dwells upon the fact that a better time for
refunding could net be found than new.
The country is prosperous, business
throughout the country is en a sound
basis, while there is a great excess of
capital in business centres that would
gladly seek a government lean in a much
lower bend than any of these new out
standing. He does net mention the rate
of interest that be would advise in a bend
for refunding. There is no referrence te a
3. 05, a 3, or a 3 per cent bend. He he-
lieves that the rate of interest is a natter
for Congress te arrange, and Secretary
Sherman has made suggestions npen the
subject of the rate of interest. There is no
recommendation te Congress for the with
drawal of the legal-tender character of
greenbacks, nor is there any recommenda
tion for the stoppage or coinage of the sil
ver dollar. The only recommendation
npen this subject also comes from Secre
tary, Sherman, and relates te the recoin recein
age of the silver dollar se that it will con
tain enough silver te make it equal in
vaiue te tne present market value or the
geld dollar. The cost of receinage would
be covered by the profits of the govern,
ment already made in the coinage of silver
bullion. These are the only financial re
commendations in the message, and as
they were all supplied bv Secretary Sher
man they in reality embody all that is de
sirable in Secretary Sherman's report ;-for.
aside from the financial chapter, his re
port is nothing mere than a review .of the
reports of his subordinates, all of which
have been published.

United States are absolutely in defense.
less condition, and in the event of a for
eign trouble incalculable damage could be
done te our commercial interests befere
the first step of a ready defense could be
made. He calls upon Congress te take
this subject into consideration, and te pro pre
tide for a system of liberal appropriation
te rcgiedy this great weakness.
The navy department gets only a short
chapter, and this for the reason that Se-
rciary iiiompseu asKea ler iiuie te ee in
serted iu the message. Ha speaks in very
eulogistic terms of Secretary Thompson's
management, and approves of the secre
tary's plan for the encouragement of our
merchant marine, already alluded te under
the head of state department. The same
suggestion by the postmaster-general is
also approved. He does net approve all of
Mr. Maynard's suggestions, lie recom
mends only the adoption of the postal sav
ings bank scheme, but says nothing about
the postal telegraph.
Under the head of the department of
justice Mr. Hayes speaks of the attorney-
generu's recommendation tbat a suthcicut
sum be appointed by Congress for the pay
ment of deputy marshals. He also recom
mends that Congress pass some bill au
thorizing the establishment of an interme
diary court, between the United States
circuit court and the supreme court, for
the purpose of relieving the extraordinary
pressure of business under which the lat
ter is struggling. The most pronounced
feature of Attorney-General Devens's re
port Hayes, docs net even discuss, and
docs net mention it in the message. Attorney-General
Devcns.in an elaborate man
ner, urges en Congress the propriety of
national supervision of the ballet in all
national elections, and recommends that
Congress take the position that in national
election state lines are net te be considered,
and that national authority be directed te
prekei the ballet-box from fraud aud in
timidation in all sections of the country.
While agreeing with the ideas of Gen.
Dcvens en this subject, nayes did net
think it best te incorporate this recommen
dation in his message.
The interior department is given quite a
long chapter. The message reviews Secre
tary Schurz's policy toward the Indians
with great approval and thinks that his
plan for educating the Indian se that he
can take care of himself the only true so
lution of the Indian question. ' lie call
upon Congress te give aid, in the way of
appropriations, te the encouragement of
the plan, which leeks te the establishment
of the Indian upon land of his own, the
breaking up of all tribal relations, and the
gradual withdrawal of financial support
upon the part of the government.
Following this'rcview of the department
reports, Mr. Hayes has an especially geed
word te say for the work of the commis
sioner of agriculture, and speaks of the
success of Mr. LeDuc in his experiments
for the growth of tea in this country and
the manufacture of sugar from corn stalks.
The message next alludes te the report
of the commissioner of education. The
chief point of this paragraph of the mes
sage i.s the recommendation that the re
mainder of the public lands of the country
he set aside for the education of the illit
erate of all sections. This would result
in giving most of it te the Seuth, where
the greatest illiteracy prevails. The edu
cation of this class, both white and black,
would have a tendency te place the two
sections upon a closer intellectual level,
and consequently in a closer bend of
union.
Then fellows the closing chapter of Mr.
Hayes's last annual message. This relates
entirely te the affairs of the District of
Columbia. The improvement of the Po
tomac river fiats is recommended as a ne
cessity te the health and beauty of the
national capital. He calls upon Congress
te appreriate in one sum money enough te
de the entire work in one year and he es
timates that $3,000,000 will be ample te de
this work. He calls upon Congress te
also make the necessary appropriations te
continue the work en the Washington
monument. He then dwells upon the ne
cessity aud advantage of taking up the
two railroad depots of the city and remov
ing them from the gevernmant reserva
tions that they new occupy, and then con
solidating them into a union depot out
side of all proximity te the reservations
or public parks.

Congress met for the winter session to
day. The galleries were well filled. In
the Senate only about two-thirds of the
chairs were occupied. A committee with

Heuse reported a like readiness and
after some delay and two recesses the mes mes
