THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE, Sc.

IHB PRESIDENTS MESSAGE, &c.
Contrary to custom and to all calculations the Pre-
sidens Message did not reach us by Yesterday morn
inSs mall Last year we had il by express on Tues
day night, at III o'cock-but we are so unfortunate
thls year as not even 10 receive it 10y the Wednes-
days mail. We understand that the mail left WASH
ington OH Tuesday, about two hours before the mes
sage was transmitted 10 both Houses of Congress-
Ii Is said To he short and plain. There will not
be so much Surplus Revenue, TO squabble about, as
mas Deen reported-taking in at least tho two years
OF 30 ana ID III IS understood, that the duties will
be upwards of % millions and the whole receipts of
1888 more than 81 millions. The balance in the
Treasury OH the LIST of January is estimated at about
12 millions. The duties for 1884 are estimated n,
about IA 1-2 millions. The revenue of 1894; (pifh
the abore taiance) it is supposed will pay cxpences
and the balance of the Public Debt and leave only
about Ia millions in the Treasury Ifhcsc csti-
mates be correct the present Congress may get clear
nearly OF one SUBJECT of great moment, viz The dis
position and appropriation of large Surplus Rcye.
nue..
We presume the Message will almost entirely
hand over the subject of the Bank and the Depo.
sites to the Official Report of the Secretary of the
Treasury. That document is said to be clear and
powerful. 1t was expected to be laid before Con-
gress on Tuesday "Wednesday. 1t is said that
Nmaintains two positions:-1st. That, taking it for
granted, Tint the Bank was to wind up and not he
re-cbartered land he considers as so settled in the
election OF the President, &C. by the Peope,)-tbis
measure could only be effected, gradually, and by
the course he has taken-that the gradual with
drawal of the Deposites could only be effected bv
the Secretary OF the Treasury, and ought to have
been desired by the Bank ITSELF if they were acting
properly, and its operations pure and we'll
conducted-rhat in 1880, the Bank and its friends
asked, that the question of re- charerng should then
be settled, in order to prepare it for winding up its
affairs in time and without injury to the Public
and If 1t was then proper to begin to do so, it has
become all-important no,D.-2d. That, apart of the
question of Time, the conduct oft.e Bank itself has
been so improper, that he felt it his Duty as the Exc
cutive Officer, having the power TO interposc, and
TO act as he has DONE Ii is said, he will submit some
which have not yet been made public, of strong
character Bat the Document will soon be submit
ted to the People, and they will Judge for them
selves.
