TWENTY.EIGHTH CONGRESS-,
FIRST SESSION.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1874.
M SENATE.

messages were received from the PRESIDENT,
giving copy of catalogues of books in the
Treasury Department. Also, some report from
the Postmaster General, in answer to a resolu-
tion of the Senate.
An unusually large number of memorials, re-
monstraling against any change in the existing
tariff, were presented by Messrs. Evans, Bates
Archer, Miller, Pearce, Crittenden, and Blu.
chanan.
Mr.. ARCHER'S was from large number of
citizens of Richmond, Va, and, as he said, it
was rare to have such sentiments come from
south OF the Potomac, he asked that the memo
rial should be read. The memorialsts think
that il would be folly TO shut their eyes to the
evidences of the benefits wrought by the tariff
of AZ, and madness to strike it down at the very
moment when the country is supposed to owe its
prosperity to it.
Mr. CRITTENDEN took occasion to make
few remarks upon the presentation Of the memo
rails confded to him On this subject, and de-
clared his conviction that no change, in any form,
would be made in the tariff of az at this session.
The Senate would consent to none, and the
country might rest satisfied Of this.
Mr.. MERRICK presented petition from the
daughters of Christopher Taylor, who was a
surgeons mate during the revolutionary war.
Also, memorial PRAYING for the reduction Of
postage, and the abolition of the ranking priv
ilege.
Mr.. WOODBRIDGE, memorial concerning
the mineral lands of the United States.
Mr.. EVANS, a memorial from citizens of East
port in relation to drawback upon certain goods.
Mr.. TAPPAN presented two remonstrances,
from citizens of Ohio, against the annexation of
Texas.
CANCELLED TREAsURY-NOTEs.
MIR. EVANS, from the Committee on Ways
and Means, reported bill to provide for the
payment of evidences Of public debt in certain
cases.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
MIR. WRIGHT submitted resolution, which
was adopted, directing the Committee OH the
Judiciary to inquire into the constitutonaliy and
expediency Of authorizing the President of the
United States, in cases where persons are SEN
fenced to death, to commute this punishment by
substituting Imprisonment for life, or some other
form Of punishment. Mr.. W. said he expressed
40 opinion in this matter himself, but submitted
the inquiry at the request Of large and respec-
table body of citizens of his State.
Mr.. w. also submitted a resolution calling on
the President for variety of information in re-
ation to the Stockbridge tribe Of Indians.
THE TARIFF.
Mr.. COLQUIT, of Ga, addressed the Senate
at length on this subject, and arraigned his col
In the course OF his remarks he was arrested by
the Chair for rejecting upon the motives Of his
colleague. Mr.. c. took the old ground, that the
tariff was made for the benefit of the rich, and
at the expense Of the poor.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The President informs US that negotiation IL
now pending on the subject Of the Oregon, between
the Secretary Of State and the British Minister at
Washington. Should the negotiation be brought to
a.close, It will be Immediately communicated TO Con-
gress. The Pres dent then proceeds TO the discus
sion Of the Texas question. This portion Of the
Messsge IS repete with sound argument, and the
views Of the President will be approved OF by large
majority Of the people Of the Union. Not a single
line, even word would we have erased from this
portion Of the Message, had 1t been submitted to US
for our approval before it's publication. We shall
refer TO this part Of the Message a future cora
sion II eill be seen that surplus Of over 81 000
000, over and above the existing appropriations viii
remain in the Treasury at the close Of the present
fiscal year
The lateness Of the hour prevents u' from analyz
ing the Message in full but hasty pc russ has lef
impression upon our mind that II is in every re
sPect, production highly creditable to the Presi
dent.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES uN
ACCOUNTABLE.

We had taken extraordinary care and pains, as we
thought to provide for the issue OF the Message a.
soon as il arrived from the post Office For this pur-
pose VIC ordered large number Of extras from the
Madisonisn office, Washington, making arrangements
for their transmission by the hands OF the Gov
eminent agents This person, we believe, arrived
here on Tuesday evening, and very soon alter Inc
news-boyS made the streets vocal with cries OF Pre-
sidentis Message-Extra Ledger" hut TO our great
disappointment and veXation, no extras for the hey
stone came TO hand. Yesterday We received noli-
location from the Baltimore post office, that our pack
age of extras had been len in that city, the agent we
suppose by very singular oversight, having brought
hither extras except those intended iorthe Ledger
We hope this agent will be able TO explain the very
excellent reasons, which no doubt existed, for eav-
ing our bundle Of extras in Baltimore and bringing
the LedgeI's to this city in due season. We are
bound to ascertain the truth Of the whole lransac-
ton.
As we are in the loosing line, let us lose on.
If you have not paid in advance for the Mes
sages, don't pay for them at all Better luck
next time-we will make up for it some day
every dog has his day"

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We have neither time nor space to comment on
the Message. 1t it an admirable producton-cer-
tainly one of the best we have ever read. We hail
It's contents with The greatest pleasure. The Presi
dent is entitled 10 the thanks of his country for this
mastery productioi-and for one, offer them
with all our heart. He urges upon Congress TO re-
ceive Texas into our bosom by joint resolution or
act. Agreed! we say, most cordially-we hope his
suggestion will be promptly adopted He presents
the most cheering accounts of our hnances-more
than millions paid account of interest of the
public debt than FIVE millions to the princi-
pal, two millions besides laid aside for the exlnc-
ton OF Treasury notes - and yet estimated
surplus Of more than seven millions. The President
proposes to re enact the old Sinking Fund law-buy
np the public stock, and extiDguish the public debt
soon as possible. .3gdin say agreed. lie lays
down The broad and nconteslable maxim, that not a
cent should be taken from the pockets of the people,
beyond what was necessary for economical ad-
minstratIon of the Government, and that all beyond
should be reduced modified. Agreed TO- again,
with all our heart And, therefore, demand, in
the name Of the People, a material modification of
the existing obnoxious Tariff. He also proposes a
wise and gradual reduction Of postage. Agreed 10,
again-and We hope the reduction will be immediate,
and calculated TO relieve from private posts and
unnecessary postage. He proposes to add to the
steam capacities of our Navy. But 1t is impossible
for u.s. in this hasty paragraph TO group all the views
and propositions OF this excellent Message.
