1t is understood II President his win CONS

ZIONIST lie has declared that the project pressed In tho
last Congress Senator Gwinns BILL could have h9
sancon and he has inmated pretty clearly that IL such
bill is passed by Congress during his Presidency 1t wiz
have to veto before 1t becomes the law of tho
land This will be bad news for the NKw York HKALDa
Eve hundred thousand dollar subscription.
The Presidents feelings upon the subject Of ntsrnalim
proements by the general government may gathered
from the that he declares he POW to
change the he formerly held that question: and
that his votes Congress the time show truly his pre-
sent position. At the tine it is susceptible Of proof
that months ago, before the yirginians kicked up
row with regard the Pacific railroad and Cushngs and
Daviss speeches. that that particular kind Of railroad
stock not below par at the White House.
The Garay and Tehuantepec grant will be endorsed By
the administration and the treaty negotiated by Judge
Conklng recognising the Sloo grant, viii not DO noticed
in any way, the ground that there authority
given to Conkng to negotiate treaty and that the Soo
grant diplomatic fraud to get rid of the Garay grant,
The Garay people have been "a to secure the
services of of the Presidents intimate friends
whilst Soo only secured the interest of Mr. Arnold

down.
The President will recommend a general system OF
reciprocal trade with the British Provinces of all articles
tho growth and product of each country, and the ad
mission of fish, duty Free upon fishermen being per.
mted to fish unrestricedy the coasts of Nova Scoa
and New Brunswick The proposition Of the English
government to permit Colonial vessels to obtain American
registers will not be opposed but the suggestion to throw
open the coasng trade of California will bs rejected "a
unconstitutional
complete revision of the tariff WILL it is CON.
adsnty stated, be suggested and with this view the
Secretary OF the Treasury is busy engaged in prepar
ing voluminous data, to show the consumption of tho
several articles OF trade and win suggest important mod
fcatons in all such articles come un Ter tho head OF
necessaries. 1t Is yet doubtful whether any ma.
tsrial notifications will be made in the duty
on non; but, Notwithstanding the most urgent re-
monstrances OF the manufacturers of railroad iron
in the United States believed repeal Of the duty
on that particular article viii be recommended.
The Secretary Of the Navy will recommend an entire
revision Of the pOOnna and n,aaIel Of the navy being
fully impressed with the worhessnsss of the existing
system. retired list and increase Of pay to the
sailors, will form prominent feature In his report
Perhaps the most important feature Of the message
will be Its ausion to the position the Sandwich Islands,
and the bold avow Of the porance Of their being an
nexed 10 the United States Depend upon it the Pres.
dent win take this ground and it WILL probably be tho
immediate cause of parties resolving back
their original elements. The secsssonsts and the abe IL
tenists flying of again as they did in 1850. ALERT
