The President and Congress.

The Federal Constitution, in prescrib
ing the duties of the President of the
United States, says:
lie shall fton1 time to time give to
Congress information Of tho state Of the
Union, and recommend 20 their consid-
Grafton such measures as lie shall Judge
necessary and expedient.

We find in the text of this message us
adequate reason for Mr.. Summers de
nunciation Of it. If the President had
demanded of Congress that it act on his
judgment rather than its own. then he
would have acted unwarrantably but,
as he has simply given his own view of
the existing situation, with his reasons
for suggesting particular course, nc
deserves neither denunciatlon nor ohio

THE RIOTER.S .SQUELCTED


On Christmas afternoon :. party OF
shout u dozen Irishmcn took possession
Of Conductor Coles train, or the ID. u
W Road, after leaving Richmond, and
for short tirne inaugu.ateia q" reign of
terror.
An eye witness related to us that. soon
after the train left Richmond, the men,
who were q party of division hands,
became uprorious, and talked very often
siyciy to the other passengers. One of
them. who seemed TO he the ring leader,
seeing a portrait of the late President
Lincoln III the car, declared in the most
offensive language and manner, that the
id diIthy picter should not hang
where he was This excited the indig
nation of the passengers, and the fellow
was prevented from tearing down the
portrait and on account of his besottcd
condition, no further notice was taken of
him, Mt the time.
The uproar, however, was kept up.
and soon afterWaTel Conductor Cole en-
tered the car, and on asking the bellig-
2erant fellow for his fare, he was caught
by the hand, iwdeIy ierked about in the
isle, and addressed hy most insulting
and foul epitlet Getting loose from
the fellow. Conductor c. slapped him in
the face, knocking him back into his seat
This prompt action cc the Conductor
was the pretext for 81 general rising oil
the division hands, some dozen in mum
Der, and they sprang up and began to
hurl bolts and rings in all directions
among friends and foes. crashing the
glass. and causing the passengers to
duck below the backs OF the seats The
scene was frightful, and the din was
greatly increased by the yelling Of the
demons and the screams of frightened
passengers.
The train was promptly and almost
instantly stopped, the passengers were
got ont with whole bones. and but few
wounds, and the engineer, brakcmen,
and 4 few volunteers, went into the
car. and then the light began in earnest
The reserves made short work of the
rioters, beating the ring leader without
mercy, aud clearing the ear in short
order.
We learn that three Of the rioters we're
left at the roadside in an almost iusensi
Bile condition, to return to consciousness
at their leisure, while the whole dozen
rovdies were more or less punished, and
scattered in the adjacent woods.
The forbearanCe of the passengers.
under Me outrageous prcvccation they
ifad, was remarkable and the punish
.uert the Tascals received at the hands
or the conductor and employees Of the
road was we'll deserved. and may have
sanitary effect on that class OF drunken
