lions of duties paid ON imports, but 81 millions in
addition In enhanced prices Of the protected domes
tic article In illustration of this position, it ID
shown that the duty is not paid by the foreign pro-
Queer, but by the consumer and that the duty con-
stitutes as much part of the price as the cost Of
production.
The making Of laws TO increase the profits Of par
tcular pursuits is opposed, and the view taken tina,
Legislation for classes is against the doctrine OF
equal rights, and repugnant to the spirit Of the
stitution.n
The argument Of countervailng the effect offoregn
tariffs by our own is answered. 1t is shown that
the party injured by these tariffs, but the great inter
ests Of agriculture, commerce, and navigation and
that, injured these interests may be by foreign
tariffs, they ask countervaing tariffs at home to
increase the injury.
The great loss imposed upon our agriculture by
the tariff is illustrated 1t is shown that the reduce
ton of our tariff would lead to the repeal of the
laws Of England and the restrictions in other foreign
markets.
The warehouse system is recommended, and the
loss of our trade in foreign exports for the want of
such system is clearly illustrated.
The favorable effect Of the bill allowing draw
back Of our duties on foreign exports carried
through our ports to Canada is shown, and an ex-
tension Of the system recommended, so as to per-
nit the expectation Of Canada goods in transit
through our own ports to foreign countries A re-
ducton and graduation Of the price of public lands
unsaeable at present rates, in favor of settlers and
cutvators, is recommended, as one Of the means Of
increasing the revenue. 1t is shown that such re-
dwcon of the price in favor Of the settlers would in.
crease the wages of labor.
The constitutional treasury" is earnestly recon-
mended, having no power to make loans or dis
counts, issue any paper, and confined TO the use
exclusively of gold and silver.
In connection with the treasury Of the constitu-
tion," the location of branch Of the mint at New
York is recommended place for keeping safely
the vast amount Of revenue collected at New York,
and also of increasing the coinage, and the
circulation ofgold and of silver
This whole report is marked by the great clear
ness and GOODNESS which are characteristic of its
author. Its propositions are eminently entitled to
the attention of the people.

The snow which fell yesterday soon melted, and

The special train over the Long Island railroad
as previously advertised, left New York at o'clock
p. m, yesterday, with the mail for tho Britannia
but without the two previous mails due from New
Orleans. This will prove serious disappointment
to the merchants Of our southern cities, large
number of letters from them, south Of Richmond
must have been left behind. mail has come
through to-day from New Orleans. with dates as
late as due. Letters intended for the Britannia
which reached the city by il to-day, will probably
pass on 10 Boston, where they must remain till the
next steamer, unless they are taken from The mai
here, and forwarded by the Europe for Liverpool TO-
morrow.
To-day the weather has been SO very unpleasant
combined with an unfavorable wind, that the pack

We understand that the accounts of Mr.. Van
Ness, the late collector Of the port of New York,
have been adjusted, and finally closed on the books
OF the treasury. It appears that the accounts, as
made out at the custom-house, were balanced, all
the public moneys received being stated to have
been paid and accounted for; and the result of
the treasury examination is difference merely of
AZ cents in an amount of about 500. 900 900.

motion of Mr.. Bocock, of Buckingham, TO proceed,

TIE GoyEnMoR's MEssAeE,-This message, the
last that will be received from Gov Mcdowell, is
worthy Of the chief magistrate of this proud old
Commonwealth It's language is elegant, chaste,
and luminous. The governor discusses every sub
jeat fully, and with power. He tells the legislature
boldly what he thinks ought to be done, to give
new life to Virginia, and to promote her honor and
prosperity. All must admire the spirit of devotion
to the Commonwealth with which he solemnly
commends the unity and harmony of the whole
State. We ask every one to read for himself, and
to examine specially each of the grand subjects
upon which the message treats II viii be seen that
the financial condition of Virginia is peculiarly
fattering. On the subjects of education, internal
improvements, the convention, and the condition of
oar finances, the governor speaks fully and to the
point. All may not agree with him; but no one can
mistake his views, or dsapprovc the frankness with
which he presents them n
His eloquent and striking language on the Texas
question will meet with hearty response through
out Virginia. His chastc and Beautiful and touch

thrill through the heart OF every patriot in the land.
To conclude these desutory and hurried lines, this
able and dignifcd message deserves to be read and

New YoRK, Tuesday morning,

December 9, 1916.
According TO the correspondence published in the
city papers yesterday from Mexico and the Pacific,
il would appear that some local difficulties existed
in the Sandwich Islands, and that the United States
commissioner (Mr. Brown had fallen into disrepute
with the government. The Hon. Mr.. Judd Zone of
the Kings cabinct) had also had misunderstood
ing with the American house of Brewster & Co.
Honololu, ii seems, is becoming quite an entrc-
America and China The English and Americans
supply Sandwich-ians with considerable quant-
ties Of manufactured goods, while they get lumber,
salmon, &C., from the mouth of the Columbia
river.
Il appears that the question Of establishing an i-
dependent government in Oregon had been mooted
by the American residents, and that parties were
nearly balanced-it being supposed the Hudson
Bay Company favored the notion Of separate indie
pendence. The Eugenia, from Vera Cruz, with
this news, brought $4,000 in specie to merchants
in this city.
As the canal has closed for the season, estimates
have been made of the receipts of -four and wheat
for the year lS45 at Underwater, which show large
increase over last year. By reducing the wheat
(l60a, 10 bushels) to -four, allowing five bushels Of
wheat to barrel, and adding to the receipts of
2,4S2 597 barrels Of -four, we have total Of $685..
amount to l5,4I6,S26 This exceeds the receipts
of 1874 by 323 800 barrels, and in value by 1884
476 The increase in the receipt ofbarley the pres
ent year. has also been very arge-estimated to ex-
coed that of last year by 325,642 bushels equal iii
value, at So cents per bushel, TO Sl47,6l7. ~ \
