President Giant sent a message to Con
gress on Wednesday afternoon, April 7th,
in which he suggest the propriety of restor
ing the States that were in rebellion to their
' projKr -reljii'ius to thj O.iVjnrnent at as
early a perio 1 as the popfe of those States
" shall lie b.uud willing to beeoiue peaceful
" and orderly eonimu.ii'ies, and ad.ipt and
; maintain such constitutions and laws as
" will cTeotually secure the chil and politi
' cat rights of all pcr-ons wlihici their bord
"cra." Uoder sur-h ciicumstaaees be holds
.that "it is certaiqly do-iirable that all causes
" of irritation be removed as promptly as
" possible, and th it a more perfect, union
' may be esrablished, and the country re
" stored to peace and prosperity." In ac
cordance with these views ho recommends
such action as will enable Virginia and
Mississippi to submit Constitutions to Con
gress on the first Monday of Decern! er next,
"so that, if the aiue is approved, the nc
" cessary steps will then have been taken"
for their resor-tion to their "proper rela
tions to the Union." In accordance with
thesu suggestions. Congress daring the last
hours of it session (it having adjourned on
Saturday last) passed a law which anthor-
'izps the President to submit, the Constitu
tions adopted by the State Conventions of
those States to the people for ratification,
at such ti'.iie and in such manner as mav
be deemed most fit. Congressalsoautborized
the submission of the Constitution of Texa
in like manner, to the peord of that State.
'Tbe promptness with which Congress em
bodied iu an enactment the recommenda
tions of Preident Grant on this subject,
proves the confidence entertained by our
' National representatives in his wisdom and
statesmanship.

-..-.. s. it-.fiinir c-u in p rises tne
pith of it, and will be read with interest by
all who take a proper interest in our nation
al affairs snd the manner in which they are
conducted :
The report sets forth that the sudden and
enormous Treasury operations of the rebel
lion were productive of error and iooseuess,
but no considerable loss. Of the first loan
of February 8, IfcCI, the bonds are all ac
counted fur except one of one thousand dol
lars, and the Treasury has Buffered no loss.
Of the issue of Treasury notes under the
act of March 2, 1861, only two are unac
counted for. The Oregon war debt is next
refered to. Some coupon bonds of this loan
that We're supposed to have been lost in the
Golden Gate, and duplicated under authori
ty of an act of Congress, were since present
ed and redeemed. Of the twelve years sixes
some duplicates were also iued to supply
the place of bonds stolen by one Whittles
sty, and some discrepancies were discovered
and accounted for, so that no loss seems to
have occurtd. Of' the three-year Seven
thirty ntt'js of July and August, 1861, none
remain :o be accounted for. There is a very
large dincrep: ncy between the number of
printed nut-.-s delivered and those a.'eounteQ
for at the Treasury of the issue :f October,
1S61. Of the fifty dollar notes 115,502 were
delivered by the Hank Note company, while
the Treasury officers cconnt for only 1 15,21J.
Ot the one hundred dollar notes, the com
pany delivered 120.000, while the Treasury
'fficers account tor 1 19.927. Of the one
thousand dollar notes of this issue, the com
pany delivered 43 540, ami there are ac
counted for 43,90). Of the five thonsand
dollars, there were delivered 2.225, and
'here are accounted f.,r 2,146. There is some
reason to conclude that these differences are
nol the result of fraud, but thai the certifi
catesof destruction have been lost. The de
mand notes of 1S6I are the next securities,
and they are all accounted for. Discrepan
cies in the five twenties of 1SC2, first series,
are variously, by evidence and probable con
eonrct ure. explained ; an 1 similarly of the
second series. Of the third series coupon
bonds, same ismc, a $100 bond and 10,'r
$500 bonds are no! accounted for. The fol
lowing were delivered by the Printing Ru
reau to thu Register of the Tte.isury, and
are claimed by those officers respectively to
have been handed over to n committee for
destruction, or to have been destroyed, viz.
33,805 I onds of ?50. each, 66,340 of flOO
eash, 43,233 bonds of f500ea;li, and 86,218
bonds of $1,010 each. Of the thousand
dollar bor.ds 0S.5W) were delivered to the
Rft-ister, and 7,7 IS to the Treasurer.
The committee bay in reference to the
foregoing :
' The direct evidence is entirely incom
plete to show the destruction of the bonds
of this third series, not issued, stated in
the tables fiorn the Register's books to have
been destroyed."
The order for destruction appears in the
statement of Mr. Marvin The result is,
that of those bonds which went into the
Register's cfik-e there are not satisfactorily
accounted for the 50s, 26 bonds ; of the 100s.
7.072; of the 500s, 1,087. and of 1,000s,
r.l'iiS. T Itose which went direct to the Treas
urer's office were not yerfect, but marked
"statiaieal" for destruction. Of these there
is no proof of the destruction of one bond of
$100, and 103 bonds ol $:00.
It appears from the certificate of the
burning committee, dated August 26, 1864,
that in ten packages of $500 bonds destroy
ed there were .three $1,000 bouds, which
leads to the conclusion that there must he
an error in the account or an erroneous
printing. Of the fourth series of coupon
bonds of the same issue all are accounted
for by the Register and Treasurer as cin
cellcd or destroyed, excepting four of $1,000
each.
A table of the gold certificates under the
same act of March 3,162, is given. All

The robbery of the Beneficial Saving
Fund Society, of Philadelphia, on Sunday,
April 4th, was one of the most extensive
that has ever occured ia the country. The
robbery was committed between the hours
of 6 A. A. and 4 P. M. The burglars affect
ed n entran -e from the stairway leading to
the billiard room in the building. The floor
was strewn with paper and envelopes which
had contained the securities of the Society.
All the bonds, amounting to over eight hun
dred thousand dollars, were stolen, together
with two or three hundred thousand dol
lars worth of coupons and registered bonds,
that had been left in the fire-proof for safe
keeping. The fire proof is built of brick
and stone, with double doors of chilled iron,
t be outer door having a combination lock.
The burglars performed tbe'r work in the
most skillful manner, by drilling through
the door into the lo; k ami then breaking
the bolt by means of a stout brace of timber.
Everything, with the exception of a thous
and dollar bond, was taken and this proba
bly escaped their notice. The securities,
amounticg to eight hundred thousand dol
lars in cash, were kept in a small iron sale
which had four locks each with a different
key, but the locks were completely smashed
by means of a brace. The Treasurer of the
Society, Patrick Quinn, had $50, 00 worth
of bonds of his own, ol which $45,000 were
cu on bouds, all taken. Mortgages amount
ing to a quarter of a million of dollars were
not disturbed. The securities stolen con
sisted of $125,000 six per cent, loan; 93.
000 United States Five Twenties ; $33,000
Pennsylvania War loau cupon bonds; $10,
000 New Jersey six per cent, coupon bonds ;
$20,000 Delaware six per cent. coupoD
bonds ;15,000 Northern Pennsylvania Rail
road coupon bonds ; $I0.MX) mortgage bonds
same road ; $14,400 U. S. bonds, '81 ; $25.
000 Philadelphia and Erie bonds ; $32,000
Allegheny county bonds; $2,000 Camden
City coupon bonds; $26,000 Huntingdon
and Broad Top Railroad bonds; $61,000
Schuylkill Navigation Loan ; $23,000 Cam
don and Amboy coupon bonds; $40,000
Long Island Railroad; $1,000 North Penn
sylvania seven percent, bonds; $32,000 A!
letheny five per cent, bonds; $15,000 North
Pennsylvania six per cent. loan. The regis
tered bonds stolen amount to $ ioO.OOO, and
coupon bonds to $150-000. The depositors
in the Soc-ty number about three thousand,
and the securities stolen were held for their
benefit. To uieet the loss sustained the So
ciety will secure the registered bonds, the
mortgages, besides the r.al estate, worth
about $80,000, making a total of $730.Oi)O
to meet their liabilities, even if the coupon
bonds should not be recovered.- A reward
of $25,000 is offered for the capture of the
burglars. The managers of the institution
have decided to suspend payment to depos
itors. The Susquehanna LtMiiEn TitAr.E.
The following item from the Yest Branch
Btillitin, will give some idea of the progress
of the lumber trade on the Susquehanna;
"The streams up the river are in fine eondi
tion. The logs are cominir out in great quan
tises. The river from Lock Haven to Clear
field presents a constant drift of logs. Ben
nett's Branch is in the best floating condi
tion, and most of the landings are already
broken, and the backed floods in Ilix's,
Dent's, Meiick's, Trout, Laurel, Kersey,
Wilson's, Mountain Branch and Elk Creek
runs, keep up a constant influx of logs into
the main stream, and the prospect now is
that the logs will be gotten out more espe
ditiously and at a cheaper rate than ever be
fore. There is a vast quantity of snow and
ice in the drafts and ravines, and no appre
hension need be entertained about abundant
floods. On the other hand, if we should
have an immediate heavy rain, we will have
a heavy rise. Under the warm sunshine ol
a few days, the snow and ico will disappear
and keep up the streams to a fine raftitiL
condition. The b.iom never was in such
complete order as now, and thus far it ha
caught all.the logs that have arrived, inclu
ding those escaped from the Lock Haven
bo .m. They are packing finely, and it i
estimated that 80,000,100 of feet are already
in. There is every prospect of one of the
finest seasons that we have ever had. We
learn that there is now on its way the larg
est drive ever floated down the river. It i
estimated at 150,000,000 of Ject. We may
soon look for 250,000,000 of feet in our
boom. That means lively business." In
addition to the logs, about seven million cu
hie feet is floated down the river in the rhape
of square timb: r, in rafts.

policy V.f humanity and civilization, backed
with an appropriation of $2,000, 0K). will l
substituted fur the thieving, demoralizing
policy of tbe past. The progress of tbe ex
periment will be watched with deep inter
est, Tlie Cohan resnhuionsof Mr. Batiks pa?.s
eJ the House on Saturday by a vote of SS
yeas to-3.') nays, but failed in tbe Senat,
Mr. Wilsiiti preventing a vote by talking
:isfokii-t time. It is nor improbable thit the
administration desired their failure, as not
calculated to improve the cause of Cuban
independence. in this country and liable to
embarrass the policy on which the President
and his advisers are understood to agree.
Not Cuba alone must be taken into account.
We have relations with o'her countries, and
other questions present themselves in the
mntiagemeiir of th i Government. It is not
to be doubted that the administration will
pursue the course of even-handed justice,
and at ibe same time evince all the sympa
thy which a people struggling for independ
ence have a right to expect, consistent with
our oiiligatious as a member of the family
of nations.
A new law relative to the tax on whiskev
was passed i ear the close of the session. It
is of a highly important character to Iuom)
dealing in the article.
In some instances the administroiion lias
been sadly imposed upon in appointing men
to m'e. In New York, one proves to lie a
recrular swindler. lie was recommended by
a distinguished millionaire wbtj appears to
not btive known what was his rual char-acler
Another is hung up in the Senate on the
eharse of having defrauded a widow and red-iced
her to poverty. Other cases have
come to liuht all of which go ta prove ihe
necessity of a thorough reform in the civil
servicii, whereby not only deception like that
here instanced will be prevented, but the
scarcely less teprehensible practice of Con
gressmen using the patronage of the Gov
ernment to advance their own interest, pe
cuniarily and politically, wili lie broken up.
Under tip.' present sstcui this is next to im
possible. The Government is preparing for a vigor
ous policy with reference to Cuba and of
eonrse Spin. A considerable number of
Xumrieau citizen are held as prisoners by
tlie Cuban d-spotNm. Some have been mur
dered and Americans have but little securi
ty there.- The naval force in the West In
dies is bein rapidly augmented. Orders for
getting' ready several iron clad monitors, in
cluding the Dictator and Cmtonicus, were
civen towards the close of lat week. The
foistiiry will rest satisfied that every ques
lion growing out of the Caban revolution
will be wisely and promptly treated.
We ate getting on. We learn fas. V(
yield to wh.-it is inevitable with becoming
grace. Negro soldiers gave us a shock from
which we had scarcely recovered when etiian
eipaaon. wholly and at once, struck us with
a death like chill. This was scarcely recov
ered when negro suffrage Was proposed and
accomplished, not, however, without, givintr
us the shakes, which had not entirely sub
sided when negro office holding became a
fixed thine, and we are now in a stateof re-lap-e
into which it threw us. We shall re
cover however. The Lieutenant Governor
of the State of L ui-iami, in the person of a
negro, named Dcxn, has for weeks been re
ceived on the floor of ho; h branches of Con
gress, where he has been treated as though
his skin was white. A eentleman of wealth,
culture and elegant manners, color is the
only peg to hang an objection on : and that
is so short and lec'ole I hat it is of little ac
count. Should a negro make his appearance
with credentials infilling him to a seat, in
Congress, it is probable we should survive.
In fact, there is nothing more likely, and
wc shall yet live to w jn ler that, we ever
mndu such a fu..s about '"the nijrger."
