THE MESSAGE.

We Yesterday laid before our readers the
Animal Message Of the Presidents We
need not say that it is an important docu-
ment, and challenges our attention as well
as candid study. The ordinary and gener-
al features were of course anticipated. The
main facts Of our relations to Foreign Pow
ers and our internal condition and rela-
tons, are pretty accurately understood by
the people. But, out Of these our late ex-
periences have caused him to make a num-
Der of important and timely suggestions
That in relation to the obligations of alien
residents, and citizens residing in foreign
countries, demands attention, which it
should have had before. The statement of
expenditures for the last fiscal year, is more
moderate than was anticipated, and puts
our financial condition on very satisfac-
tory footing, when we consider the inn
mense work we are laboring to carry out
with such happy omens OF ultimate sue
cess. These, and the many apther facts of
similar nature stated or discussed, are OF
great value, and will tend to create feel
ing of hopsfplness and satisfaction among
the people.&
His declaration that the Emancipation
Proclamation will not be retracted or modi-
fed, is what was looked for, as matter of
necessity as well as Of right. 1t is the
great ACT Of the age, and can never be got
round or buried out Of sight, however much
the enemies of the country may wish for
such consummation.
But what will attract most attention and
discussion is the Proclamation he appends
to, and supports in, his message. In this
he offers to the people of the revolted
States practical plan for their return to
their duty, upon terms and conditions
which will certainly be deemed sufficiently
moderate and liberal. All that is required
is, that those who wish once more toresume
their natural position of loyal and law-abi-
ding citizens, shall manifest that purpose
by the oath he presents, and by acting in
accordance with its tenor. When pro.
portion of the citizens of any revolted State
equal to one-tenth of the voters at the cleo
ton Of 1860, thus indicate their determine
ton to adhere tc the Union and do theil
duty ktizens, truly and faithfully, they
will be kliberty to reorganize State Gov
eminent in conformity to the Proclama

rs The mode pursued in some locali-
ties in the East, to secure volunteers is cal
culated to work great wrong in all cases
where draft shall take place. For in
stance, New York City offers bounty Of
$500 to all volunteers. They have plenty
of money. and owing to Copperhead infiu-
ences, volunteering among the inhabitants
is not very brisk. But other places in the
vicinity are not so rich in money, though
incomparably more so in patriotism. They
furnish men, who, as they can get high
bounties in that city, flock there and secure
it. The result is that the rural districts are
robbed of their able-bodied men, who go
to relieve the great city of its own proper
burden, while the burden of the country
around is greatly increased.
Now we do not object to these bounties.
We approve them. But they should, in all
cases be limited to the actual residents OF
the city or district-t6 those who are sub
ect to the Draft where the bounty is Offer
ed. Let New York offer and pay what
bounty its people deem necessary or find
expedient. But let the recipient be one OF
the residents of the city, and on the Enroll
ment Lists. If this is not made the rule
the result is that the city supplies none, OF
but few, soldiers-all it gives is money
and that in such mode as to deplete the
country districts of the men who would
Otherwise fill their quotas, and adds to theil
burdens in various modes, besides merely

made the rule that every volunteer should
be credited to the locality where he actual
~ has his residence, no matter where ne
volunteers, and every volunteer should be
required to show where that residence is at
the time of his enlistment. This would do
Justice to all. The other mode creates hard
ships without number. Men are wanted.
Let each locality furnish them by volun-
teering or by draft. -
M@ The death Of the late King of the
Danes occasions, it is said, q new complica-
ton in European politics. He left no chill
dren and the crown, Of course, becomes
the inheritance Of the next Of kin, accord
ing to the law Of succession. There are
two Dutchies attached to Denmark, where
German laws prevail. According to the
Danish law, Prince Christian, father of the
Princess of Wales, is the lawful successor
to the throne, and he has assumed the
crown. But he derives his title through
female. In Schleswig and Holstein, the
old two German Dutchies, the old Sale
law prevails, by which the descent is ex-
clusively to the heirs male. According to
this rule the Prince of Augustinburg is tbe'
heir. 4,
In 1852, at Conference OF England,
France, Russia, Austria, Prussia ana Swe-
den, it was agreed that Prince Christian
should succeed to all the Danish dignitles,
and that subsequently the Salic law should
prevail, and he has therefore been pro-
claimed King Of the Danes and Duke OF
Schleswie and Holstein. But the Germans
of the Dutchies now deny the authority OF
this attempted settlement, assert that to
be binding it must have the assent of
their Diet and of the Federal Diet Of Ger
many, and wanting these the Prince Of
Augustinburg is their lawful Duke. This
Prince has assumed the position and pro-
nounces further Danish rule usurpation,
and his right has been recognized by a
number of German Sovereigns, the Duke
of Sake Coburg among them. He appeals
to the German Federation to sustain his
right.
Among the beauties Of this new i'm
broglio is the strange and conflicting in
terests it brings up in the family of Vic
toria. Her brother-in-law, Duke of Co.
burg, heads the German party. Her
daughter is wife of the Crown-Prince Of
Prussia, who naturally leans the same
way, and the Princess Of Waless is daugh-
ter Of the Danish King, Christian, and
England is party to the Conference which
assured him the succession to Denmark
and the Dutchies. It is about as pretty a
family quarrel as could be got up-to say
nothing of the fact that the people might
naturally desire to have some voice in
the matter. But Of course their desires are
not particularly consulted by these rulers
by right Divine.' If these fellows are
stubborn and inaugurate war to settle
their quarrel the people will have to bear
the brunt and pay the cost. That is about
the amount of consideration they receive.
They will not be permitted to determine
how nor by whom their Government shall
be carried on. It is nice affair. Isn't it
strange that mankind. are thus banded
about by the knayes who wear crowns and
dignities?

A GHOST ON BOARD THE GREAT EAST
EsT.-On the 18th, Captain w. Patton, whlie
addressing the members of the Mercantile
Marine Association, in reference to the
plan for repairing the big ship, mentioned
singular occurrence which took place in
New York. An impression got abroad
that the ship was haunted, the alleged
ghost being no other than fhe impersona-
ton of an unfortunate riveter, who was
heard plying his avocation in one Of the
wells or compartments. Captain Patton
said that before the vessel left this country
he believes that one of the men employed
in her construction was missing, Theman
was a riveter; he was missed from the ship,
and never came for his wages the suppo-
sition being that he had been riveted up IN
some part of the vessel. So firmly Impress
ed were some Of the men with this IDEA
that they left the ship in consequence
They affirmed that they had heard Their
departed friend busily engaged rivetlng III
the middle of the night.
The story was believed by many persons
in New York, and on one occasion WINE
the ship was under repair, a diver signal
ed to be drawn up. He appeared 10 Do
pale with fright, and declared the ghost Oh
the riveter was busy engaged in the BOY
tom of the ships fact, that he began riv.
citing Immediately over his head. Such
was the CONSERVATION among. the divers
that they called in the mediums, who were
somewhat numerous in the city of New
York. The medium came on board the
ship, and after an examination, declared
that the missing man was there, both IN
body and spirit" Fortunately he cap
tain Paton) by pure accident was able TO
dispel the illusion. Being in a boat near
the bows of the ship, he discovered that
swivel connected with the mornings work
ed to and fro, the movement causing
chink or vibration which at times, more
especially at night, was heard throughout
the vessel. It was this sound when hao
coniured up, in connection with the sup
posed fate Of the unfortunate riveter, the
phantom whose mysterious doings spread

IS The Chief Quartermaster at st.
Louis routed mass Of hungry and sordid
spectators Whereabouts the other day, by
threatening to sieze all the hay he could
find at certain price, unless it could be
procured otherwise for the sum named or
less. Some of the scoundrels thought it
was hard that they could not be permitted
to rob the public as much as they wished.
They thought impressment decidedly
wrong, but their own schemes ofpeculation
were of course the highest evidence of vir-
tue and patriotism! The Quartermaster
put flea in their ears by telling them he
would not be compelled to execute his
threat, as he had already within grasp Co.
600 tons of the article, brought to his notice
by his announced purpose of not submit
ting to their extortions! We guess tbs
rascals have concluded that hay is not a
good article to deal in.

GB- The Chicago Tribune wants congress
to impose a tax of six per cent. per annum
upon the circulation of all Banks organized
by State authority. Its aim is to drive them
out of existence. It says their issues cost
the public about thirty millions Of dollars
year. If that is the case it would seem
to be somewhat expensive luxury. If
we must pay so much for it, it thinks it
better that it should go to the Government,
and thus Tighten to that extent our other
burdens. We think it about time that the
people understand that all these institu-
tons are unconstitutional" 1t ought to
be plain that State cannot authorize a
corporation to do what the constitution for
bids the State to do. Banks are good
things on sound principles. But the only
authority to create them is the United
States.
