PROGRESS OF THE NORTHERN PA
OIFIO RAILROAD.
PEIILADELPIIIA, OCtol . :ltr 25th, 1871
You will be pleased to learn the following
facts regarding the prosperous progress of the
Northern Pacific Railroad :
The track is now about completed across the
State of Minnesota; 250 miles, the grade being
wholly finished, and the track-layers appreach
ing the Bed River at the rate , of three miles a
day. Regular trains are running over the com
pleted sections.
Early in October contracts were let for the
construction of the Dakota division, extending
203 miles westward, from the crossing of the
Red River to the crossing of the Missouri, in
central Dakota. This division is to be finished
by the first day of Jaly 'next, 'and 50 miles are
to be graded beginning of winter. In the mean
time, a section of 65 miles is under construction
between the Columbia River and Puget Sound,
in Washington Territory, where tiask-laying is
rapidly progressing.
It will be remembered that the Northern Pa
cifia Company last year purchased both the
Main Line and Branch of the iiul it Pacific
Road. Within the last three Mont a, the Main
101 l
Line has been completed, throu h a noble
c . ,•ountry, ti the Red River at 'Breckenridge.
Contract, were last week let for the continua
tion ofthe Branch, from its, Present terminus,
at Watab, on the Mississippi Ricer, 70 miles
northward, to Brainerd, where it will Join the
trunk line of the Northern l'•Pacific. Finally,•
contracts have been let for the construction of
a branch road from St. Clouil! (75 miles north
of St. Paul), to-Pembina, on the British border,
a distance of 375 miles. Thisline is to be com
pleted within months of the i present time. It
will drain the richest portions of the lied River
Val4y, open direct communication with the
British settlements of Winnipeg and the rich
Saskatchewan Basin. It will also serve as the
south-eastern arm of the Northern Pacific Road,
reachitig to St. Paul and Minneapolis, and thus
connecting with Chicago and the trunk lines to
. . I
the East. ,
The completion of these contracts • will giie
Northern Pacific Company, at the close of next
year, - 900 miles of road in the fertile and pros
perous State of Minnesota ; 'it will carry the
trunk line of the great thoroughfare nearly
one third of its distance across the continent,
and will bring to the Northerb Pacific Road the
large and profitable traffic of)lontana, and the
Government-transportation of the rpper
Mir
souri.
It is aptic3pated that this business aloneorith
out waiting for through trad4, will meet the in
terest on the cost of the flniShed portion of the
Road. The Hudson's Bay company has al.
ready leased docks and warehouses at Duluth,
preparatory to doing the whole of its immense
business over the Northern Pacific line.
Settlers are occupying the land along the
route with surprising and glififying rapidity.
About the Ist of January-, next, nearly Two
- Million acres of the finest lands in Minnesota
will be placed in Market by the Northern-Pacif
ic Railroad Company, and the proceeds of thei r
sale will be used to purchase and cancel the
ComWW 1 740ttonds. The: Companjs lands
iu Minnesota will much more than pay the coa t
of building the Minnesota DiTision of the Road,
and their sale will be rapid—indeed, many
thousand acres haio already been sold to actu
al settlers, in advance of being offered. The
Company's lands west of Minnesota, through
Dakota, are also of superb character, and will
soeedilj corns into market. :
, •
Owing to the rigid econo my and perfect in
tegrity with which all departments of the en
terprise are managed, and the great reduction
in cost of material Within the ; last few years,the
cost of coqstruction and egnipment proves to
be considerably less per mile than the original
estimates. For etample, lcicomotives which
cost $lO,OOO each when the- rnima and Central
Pacific Goads were haat, are; now soli at less
than $10,500 ; best American Tail', which during
the war sold at about $lOO per ton, now cost
the Northern Pacific Company only „about $7O
per ton ; right of way, and stone and timber
material, which are usually large items in the
cost of a new road, are furnished to the North
ern Pacific grataitiously fromithe Government
domain. The bearing that this greatly dimin
ished cost of construction must, hare on the
value and security of the Company's 7-30 Bonds,
iskobvious. •
The money is being furninihed for the early
completion of the Northern Picific Road by the
now rapid sale (at par 'and accurate interest)
of its First Mortgage 7-90 Bonds. Their ab
sorption by investors has been very rapid dur
ing the last three months, and with a continua
tion of the present rate of increase of sales the
Company may soon be, enabliid to reduce the
rate of interest en the remainder of its loan, or
advance. the price of the 740 bonds above par.
These bonds have established their character
as ii!first-class security, good evidence of which
is the fact that they are being; largely taken as
an
investment by many of th'e .Savings Banks
of New England, and conservative moneyed in
stitutions of other States. Since the success of
the United States FirA Per Rent. Loan, very
many holders of Fiveawentiek have taken ad
vantage of the favorable opportunity - to ex
ehangelheir Government. Bonds for Northern
Pacifies, at,a large profit. ese exchanges
are increasing in volume in all parts of the
country.
~
Steadily, and with even i r rapidity than
was anticipated by , its projectora, this great
,thorofighfare is advancing acit the continent,
:pening as it "progresses the finest be:trof un
developed country in America Every phase of
the enterprise is in the most tisfactory condi
tion, its complete success was ong since assur
i ed, and its early completion is now a certainty.

With the victims of these misfortunes,
will reap their reward in the consci
ousness of having performed a noble
act and' in receiving the grateful
thanks of men, women and children
whose sufferings they have relieved.
The-relations of the United States
with foreign powers continue to be
friendly ; the year has. been eventful
in witnessing two great nations,
speaking one language and having
one liieage, settling by peaceful ar
bitration disputes of long standing
and liable at any time to bring those

which if successful in its final issue,
may be followed by other civilized
nations and be finally the means of
returning to productiye industry mill
ions of men now- maintained to settle
the disputes of nations by the bayonet
and broads mord. I transmit here
with a copy of the treaty alluded to,
Which has been concluded since the
adjournment of Congress with Her
Britanic Majesty, and a copy of the
protocal of the conferences of the
commissioners by whom it was ne
gotiated. This treaty provides meth
ods for adjudicating the questions
ing b g e u tw es ee tio n us the two
are to 4 , a n
etioadsVari
ousjustedtyarbitration.
I recommend Congress at an early
day to make the necessary provision
for the tribunal at Geneva and for
the several commissions on the part
of the United States called for by the
treaty. His Majesty ; the King -of
Italy, the President of the Swiss
Conference, and his Majesty, the
Emperor of Brazil have each consent
ed on the joint requert of the two
powers to name an arbitrator for the
tribunal at Geneva, I have caused my
thanks to be suitably expressed for
the readiness with which thejoint.
request has . been complied with by
the appointment of gentlemen of em
inence and learning to these import
ant positions.. His Majesty, the Em
peror of Germany, has been pleased
to comply with the joint wish of
the two governments, and has con
sented toad as the arbitrator of the
disputed water boundary between
the UnitediStates and Great Britain:
The contracting • parties: in the
treaty have undertaken to regaid as
between themselves, certain princi
ples of public law for which the
United States have contended from
the begining of their history. They
have also agreed to,bring these prin-
ciples to the knowledge of the other
maritime powers and to invite them
to accede to them. Negotiations are
going on as to the form of the note
by which the invitation is to be ex
. tendedlo the other powers.- I rec
ommend the legislation necessary on
the part of the United States to
bring into Operation the articles of
the treaty relating to the fisheries
and to the other matters touching
the relations of the United States
toward the British North American.
possessions to become operative so
soon as the proper legislation shall
be had on tha part of Great Britain
and its possessions. It is to be desired
that this legislation may , become co
operative before the fishermen of the
United States begin to make their
arrangements -for the coming season.
I have addressed a communication
of which a copy is transmitted here . -
with to, the governors of.NeW l York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana;'Michi
- gan, Illinois and Wiscc misn, urging
upon the governments of these States
respectively the necessary action on
their part to carry into effect the ob
ject of the treaty which contemplates
the use of the canals on either side
connected with the navigation of the
lakes and rivers forming the bounda
ry on terms of equity by the inhabi
tants of both countries. It is hoped
that the importance of the object and
the benefits to flow therefrom will
secure the speedy - approval and leg
islative sanction of the states con
cerned. - I renew the recommenda
tion for an appropriation for deter
mining the true position of the for—
ty-ninth parallel of latitude where it
forms the boundary • between the
United States and British North
American possessions, between the
Lake of Woods andthe summit of the
Rocky Mountains.. The early action
of Congress on_this recommendation
named would put it in the power of
the Weir Department to place a force
in thelteld during the next summer.
The resumption of the diplomatic
relations between France and-Ger
many have enabled me to give direc
tions for the , - withdrawal of the pro
tection extended to Germans in
France by the diplomatic and consu
lar representatives of the U. S. in
that country. It is just to add that
the delicate duty of that protection
has been performed by the Minister
and Consul General at Paris, and
the varieus Consuls of France, under
the supervision of the latter, with
great kindness as well as with pm
deuce and tact. Their course has
received the commendation of the
German Government and has wound
ed no susceptibility of the French.
The Government of the Emperor of Germany
continues to manifest a friendly feeling towards
the United States and a desire to harmonize
with the moderate and just policy of which this
-Government maintains in us relations with the
Asiatic powers as well as with the South Amer
ican Republics.
I have giren assurance that the friendly feel
ings of that government are fully sham) by the
Muted States. The ratifications of the consu
lar and asturalizition °conventions with the
Austro-Hungarian Empire have 'been ex
changed.
I have been officially informed of the =MT ,
ation of the States of the Church to the King
dom of Italy, and the removal of the capital of.

tion is due to an appredition of the disinterest
edness of the policy which the United Mate*
have pursued toward Japan.
It is my deidre to continue to maintain this
disinterested and Just policy with China as
well as Japan. The correspondence trinsnut
ted birevnth shows that there is no disposition
on the part of this government to-swerre.trom
its established course. Prompted by • desire
to put an end to the barbarous treatment of
ourshiowyesked sailer% on the boreal coast, I
instructed our Minister at Pekin to ondeaver to
conclude a conCention with Cotes for seeming
the safety and humane treatment of such mar

was given for an explanation and apology for
the insult—neither came. A force was then
landed after an arduous march over a rugged
and difficult country, the forts from which the
outrage had been committed were reduced by
a gallant assault and were destroyed Having
thus
_punished the criminals and having . vindi
cated the honor of the flag the ex pe dition re
turned finding it impracticable, under the cir
cumstances to conclude the desired convention.
I respectfully refer to the ciirrelipoidence ro
tating thereto herewith submitted, and, leave
the subject for such action as Congress may see
fit to take. The republic of Mexico has not yet
repealed the very objectionable laws, establish
ing what is known as the free zone on the fron
tier of the United States. It is hoped that this
may yet be done and also that more stringent
measures may be taken by that government for
restraining !swims persons, on its frontier. I
hope that Mexico, by Its action,will soon re
lieve this government of the difficulties, ex
perienced from these %uses.
Oar relations with the various Republics of
Central and South America continue with one
exception to be - cordial and friendly. I recom
mend some action by Congress regarding the
overdue installments under the award of the •
Venezuela claims commission of 1866. The in-1
ternal dissensions of tide government present
no justification for the absence of effort to meet
their solemn treaty obligations. The ratifica
tion of the extradition treaty with Nicaratigna
has been exchanged.
It is cause for congra tulatiA that the great
Emperor of Brazil.has taken tbe initiatory steps
towards the abolition of slavery. Our relations
with that empire always cordial will naturally
be made more so by this set. It is not too much
to hope that the government of Brazil may
hereafter find it for its interest as .well as in
trinsically right to advance toward entire
emancipation more rapidly than the present
act contemplates. The true prosperity and
g eatnesa of a nation is to be found in the ele
vation and education of its laborers.
It is a subject foi regret that the reforms in
the direction which were voluntarially prom
ised by the statesmen of Spain have not been
carried out in its West India Colonies. The
laws and regulations for the apparent abolition
otslavery in Cubs and Porto Rico leave most
of the laborers in bondage with no hope of re
lease until their lives become a burden to their
employers. I desire to direct your attention to
the fact that the citizens of the United States,
or persons claiming - to be citizens et the United
States, are large holders in foreign lands of
this species of property forbidden by the funda
mental law of their alleged country.
I recommend to Congress to provide by strin
gent legislation a suitable remedy against the
holding, owning Or - dealing in slaves or being
interested in have property in foreign lands,
either as owner, heirs or mortgagers by citzens
_of the United States. It is to,be regretted that
the disturbed condition of Cuba contitines to be
a source of annoyince and of amilety. The ex
istence of a protracted struggle in such close
proximity to our own territory without app.,
rent prospect of an early termination cannot be
other than an object of concern to a people
who while abstaining from interference in the
affairs of other powers naturally desire tq see
eyery country in the undisturbed enjoyment of
peace, liberty and the blessing of free institu
tions. Our naval c mmanuerstn Cuban waters
have been instructed' in case it should become
necessary, to spare no effort to protect the lives
and property of bona Ads American citizens,
and to maintain the dignity of the deg. It is
hoped that all pending questions with Spain
growing out of the affairs in Cuba, may be ad
justed in the spirit of peace and conciliation
which has hitherto guided the two powers in
their treatment of such questiona.• To give im
portance and to add to the efficiency of our
diplomatic relations-with Japan and China, and
to further aid in retaining the good opinion of
those peoples, and to secure to the United
States its share of the commerce destined to
flow between those nations and the balance of
the commercial world, I earnestly recoinmend
that an appropriation be made to support at
least four American youths in each of these
countries to gerve as a part of the olllcialfamily
of our ministers there. Our representatives
would not even then be placed upon an equality
with the representatives of Great Britain and
some other powers. As nor situated, our rep
resentatives in Japan and China have to de
pend for interpreters and translatord upon the
natives of those countries who know our lan
guage imperfectly or procure for the occasion
the services of employees in foreign business
houses or the interpreters of others foreign
ministers. I would also recommend-liberal
measures for the purpose of aiding , the Ameri
can lines of steamers now plying between San
Francisco, and Japan. and Chi na , and the
Australian line ourannost only remaining
lines of ocean steamers and of increasing. their
services.
The national debt his been reduced to the
extent of $86,057,126 80 during the year, and by
the negociation of national b nds at a lower
rate of interest. The interest on the public debt
has been so far diminished that now the sum
to be raised for the interi , st account is nearly
seventeen million dollars less than on the first
of March, 1869. It was highly desirable that
this rapid diminution should take place,lboth
to strengthen the credit of the country and to
convince its citizens of their entire ability to
meet every dollar of liability without bankrupt
ing them, but in view of the accompliabmynt
of these desirable ends of the rapid develop
ment of the resources of the country, its in
creasing ability to meet large demands, and
the amount already paid it is not desirable that
the present resources of the country should
continue to be taxed in order to; congone this
rapid payment. I therefore recommends moth
fication of both the tariff and internal taxation.
I recommend that all taxes from all sources be
abolished except those collected from spirituous
and malt liquors, tobacco in its various forms
and from stamps. In readjusting the tariff I
suggest that a careful estimate be made of the
amount of surplus revenue collected under the
present laws after providing the current expen
ses of the Government, the interest ac
count and a sinking fund, and that the sur
plus be reduced in such manner as to afford the
greatest relief to the greatest number. There
are many articles not produced at home but
which enter largely into general consumption
through articles which are mannfactared ae
home such as medicines, compounded, he., de.,
from which very httls revenue is derived, but
which enter into general use, all such articles I
recommend to be placed on the free list, and
should further reduction prove advisable I
-would then recommend that it be .made upon
those articles which can best bear it without
disturbing the home productions or reducing
the wages of American labor.
I have not mitered into figures because to
do so would be to repeat what will be laid be
fore you in the report of the Secretary of the
Treasury. The.present laws for collecting the
revenues, per collectors of customs small miler
ies,bnt provide for moieties in all seizure.* which
at the principal ports of entry particularly raise
the conpensation of those o o;•111 to a large
sum. It has always seemed to me as if this sys
tem must at times work perniciously. It holds'
out an inducement to dishonest men should get
possession of those offices' to be, lax In their
scrutiny of goods entered to enable them final
ly to make large seizures. Your attention is
respectifully invited to this subject. Continued
finctuations in the value of gold as compared
wits the national currency has most damaging
effect upon the increase and development of
the country in keeping up the prices of all arti
cles necessary in every - .4i&V life . It fosters a
spirit of gambling prejudicial alike to national
morals and the national finances. lithe ques
tion can be met as to how to get a fixed .Mne
to our currewy, that value coro.tantly and tun
formly approaching par with specie, a very de
sirable object will be gained. For the opera
tions of the army in the put year. theexpepse

Sear, and for continuing sea coast and other .
improvetnents conducted under the supervision
of the War Departaient, I refer you to the se
companying report of the Secretary . of War. I
call your attention to the provisions of the
act of Congress approved March 3d, 1869, which
,discontinues promotions in the staff corps of the
army, until provided for
by law. I recommend
that the mrxiber of officers in each grade of the
staff corps be 'fixed, and that when ever the
number in shy one grade falls below the num

of Congress approved April 20th, 1671, and com
monly Anown as the Eu-Elul law. in • rtion of
the state of South Carolina- The agoea of the
course pursued will be demdnttested by the report
of the committee to investigate southern adages
under the provisions of the above act. I hive issued a
proclamation calling the attention of the people of
the United Sta tes
s to the same, and declaring my re-.

After the passage of this law information veal re
ceived from time ti time that combinations of the
character referred to in this law existed. and were
powerful in many parts of the Southern States, par
ticularly in certain 4 counties In .the State of South
Carolina. Careful Investigation was made. and It
was ascertained that In nine counties of thaiState
such combinations were active and powerful, em
bracing a sudldent portion of the citizens to con
trol the local authority, and having among other
things, the object of depriving the emancipated
cliss if the substantial benefits of freedom. and of
preventing the free poLitkel actlodot those citizens
who did not sympathize with, their own views.—
,Among their operations were frequent somrgings,
and occasionally amaelinatimui, generally perpetra
ted at night by disguised persons, the victims in
-almost all cases being citizens of different political
sentiments from their own, or treed pens= who
'have shown a disposition to claim equal rights with
other citizen. Thousands of .noffsnsive and well
disposed citizens were U lawless
r s u fferers by this
violienoe
Thereupon, on the 12th of October. 1871. a pros
lamatlon was issued In the terms of the law
calling upon the members of those combination' to
dawn" within dye days. aid to deliver to the mar
shal or military *fifers of the tinned t3tstes all
arms. ammunition, uniforms. disguise'. and other
means and implements used by them for carrying
out their mils vhil purposes. This warning not
having been heeded. on the 17th of October another
proclamation will issued stiapending the privilege of
the writ of habeas *corpus in nine counties in that
State. •
Direction was given that within the .conntlea,so
designated all those supposed: upon creditable in

ire/ the large number. it is' believed that no inno-
cent person is now, in custody. The prisoners will
be held for regular trial in the judicial tribunals of
the United States. As soon as it appeared that the
authorities of the United States were about to take
vigorous measures to enforce the Law, many per
sons absconded.,and there is good ground for sup
posing that all of such persons have violated the
law. A full report of what has been done under
this law will be submitted to Congress by the At
torney General.
In Utah there still remains a remnant of barber
repugnant to civilization, to decency and to the
laws of the United States. Territorial officers, how
ever, have been found who are willing to perform.
their duty. in a spirit of equity and with a due sense
of sustaining
- the majesty of the law. 'Neither poly
gamy nor any other violation of the existing stat
utes, will be permitted within the territory of the
United States. It is -not with the religion of the
self-styled Saints that we are now dealing, but with
their practices. They will be protected In the wor
ship of God according. to the dictates of their con
sciences, but they will not be permitted 11l violate
the laws under the cloak of religion.
It may be advisable foe Congress to consider what
in the execution of the law againgt polygamy, is to
be the statue of plural wives and their offspring.—
The propriety of Congress passing an rumbling act
authorizing the Tetritorial Legislature of Utah to
legitimatize all childien born prior to • time fixed in
the act. might be penned by its humanity to these
innocent children. This is a. suggestion only and
not a recommendation.
The policy pursued toward the Indians has re
sulted favorably. so far as can be judged fromile
limited time daring which it hag been in operation.
Through the exertions of the various societies of .
Christians to whom has been entrusted the execu
tion of the policy, and the Board of Conamieskners
authorized by the lair of April 10th. 1869, many
tribes of Indians have been induced toitettle upon
the reservations., to cultivate the soil, 'to perform
productive labor of various kinds, and to partially
accept civilization. They are being cared for in such
a way, it is hoped. as to induce those still pursuing
their old habits of life, to embrace the only oppor
tunity which is left them to avoid extermination.
I recommend liberal appropriations tecy out
the Indian peace policy'. not only becau it is hu
mane. christian-like and economical but use it
is right. I recommend to your favorable considers
-bon. also. the policy of granting a territoritorial
government to the Indians in the Indian Territory
west of Antenatal' and Missouri and south of Kenna.
In doing so every right guarrenteal to the ndlani
by treaty should be sacred. Such n course might,
in time, be the meani of collecting' most of the In
dians now between the Missouri and the Pacific and
south of the Beittati_pe sdieggions. into one territory
or state. The Secretary of the Interior has treated
upon this subject at length. and I recommend to you
his suggestions.
I renew my recommendation that the public land
be regarded ass heritage to our children, to be die
posed of only as required for 'occupation and to sc
tual settlers. Those already granted have been, in
great part, disposed of in such' a way as to secure
access to the balance by the hardy settler who may
wish to avail. himself of them. But caution should
be eternised even In attaining so desirable an object,
The educational interest may well buserved by the
grant of the proceeds of the sale of public land to
settlers. Ido not wish to be understood airrecom
mending in the least degree a curtailment of what
is being done by the General Government for the
encouragement of education.
The report of the Secretary of the Interior, sub
mitted with this, will give you all the information
collected and tempered for publication in regard to
the census taken during the year 1870. the opera.
lions of the Bureau of Education for the year. the
Patent Office. the, Pension Once, the Land Ottice.
and the Indian Bureau. •

As agriculture is the ground work of our prosperity
too much importance =not be attached to the la
bors of the department It is in the hands of an
able head, with able assistants; all zealously devoted
to introducing into the agricultural productions of
the nation all useful products adapted to any of the
various climates and soils of our vast territory, and
to giving all useful intormation as to the method of
cultivating the plants, cereals and 2 other products
adapted to particular localities. Quietly but surely
the Agricultural Bureau is working a great national
good. and if liberally supported the more widely its
influence will be extended and the less dependent
we shall be upon the products of foreign countries.
The subject of compensation to the heads of the
bureaus Ind the officials holding positions of respon
sibility, and requiring ability and character Ito fill
properly, is one towhich your attention is invited.
But few of the - officials receive a compensatiou_equal
• to the respectableveruppert of a family, while their
duties are such as to involve millions of interests.
In private life services demand • •compensation
equal to the services rendered- A wise economy
would dictate the same rule in the government see
vice.
I have not given the estimates. for the 'import of
the government for the ensuing year, nor the com
parative stetemente between the expenditures for
the year just passed and the One just preceding. be

More than six years baring elapsed since the lut
hostile gun was tired between the armies then ar.
rayed against each Other—one for the pirrpethatioe.
the other for the destruction of the Union—it may
well be considered whether it is -not now tithe that

not exclude the ballot. but only, impaled the dna—
bility to'hold office ripen certainshoses. When the
purity of the ballot is secure, majorities are swe to
elect officers reflecting the views of the majority. I
do not see the advantage or propriety of 'excluding
men from office merely because they were before
the rebellion of standing and character sufficient to
be elected to positions - requiring them to take an
oath to support the constitution, and admitting to
eligibility - those entertaining •precisely the same
views but of less standing in their communities. It
may be said that the former violated an oath. while
the lather did not. The latter did not have it in

recomnsendaticin Congress, in the ninth section
of an act making appropriations for inudry
civil expenses of the goverliment, and for; other
purposes, approved March . 3d. 1871, ,gate the
necessary authority to the Executive to inaug
urate a civil service reform, and placedl upon'
him the responsibility of doing. so. Under the
authority of said act I convened aboard of gene '
tlemen, eminently qualified for the work. to..de ,
vise rules and regulations, to effect the needed
reform. Their labors are not )et complete, but
it is believed that the will succeed in devising'
a plan which can lie adopted, to the great re
lief of the Eiecnti"e, the - heads of the depart
ments and the members of Congress, and
which will redound to the true interest of the
public service. At el events the experiment
shall have a fair trial. I ,
I have thus ha-tilv summed up the operations
of the government - during the' last year, and
made such suggestions 'as occur to me, to be
m per for your consinderation. I submit them
with a confidence that your combined 'action
will be *rise, statesmanlike and I to the beit in
terests of the *bole country.

Exzerrivr. Ils,isios, December 4, 1871,
—The Albany Joal-nal,in comment
ing
editorially on the Republican outlook. says:
"Not for thirty years has all administration
at ita intermediate stage ,so much strength as
was evinced by President Grant's administra
tion and the Republican party last year. But
the unparidled success of the second yeat have
been eclipsed by the matchless victories Of tile
third. The opposition is completely overwhelm
ed. It is, utterly disorganized and,confo i imded.
One part proposes to pals the presidential elec
tion without s candidate at all. Another pro
poses to nominate a distinctive Reptiblican.
Still another proposes a straight Detnocrat
merely to preserve the name. Ai! admit the
hopelesiness of any contest. To every'appear
ince the Republican party has a clear field."
18—The Prince of Wales has been
very dangerously ill; and the latest
news is that the Princess, his wife,
is also seriously indisposed. Disease
and death are no respecters of, pers-.
.ons. 'Even.royalty is not exempt from
them.
