A NEW PAPER.-A prospectus for a new
weekly paper, to be published in Columbus,
to be called The Republic, has been shown
us. It is to be issued in quarto form, and
is "designed to be the chief organ of the
Grand Army of the Republic and Soldiers
Union League throughout the Great West"
That we were mistaken in saying that the
Grand Army of the Republic is a political
organization, is certain from the following,
which we copy from this prospectus for the
"chief organ" The publishers promise
that it shall be found "always advocating
what it deems to be right anu just, seeking
the greatest good for the greatest number,
advocating Equal Rights to all, and using
its utmost endeavors to secure that peace,
prosperity and happiness once so univer-
sally enjoyed by the people of our country"
There, if any one should hereafter proclaim
the G. A. r. a political organization, one
seeking for negro suffrage, that man should
be put down as ga ass" Wilmer S. Sim
mons, G. Warren Campbell and Charles L.
Griffin are to be the publishers.

DICK SANDS VARIETY TRoUPE.-There
was great Improvement in the attendance
on the performance of this fine troupe, at
Naughton Hall. last night. We saw Dick
Sands dance, for the first time, and truly
believe that as clog dancer he has no
equal anywhere. Tonight they offer an
entire change of programme, and we
advise all who would enjoy a pleasant
evening to visit Naughton Hall. Last night
the distribution of presents caused much
merriment, and gave intense satisfaction
Harrison Gray Otis, reporter of the House,
was the lucky winner of sack of flour
We advise him to loan some of it to the
members, that their speeches may be more
fowery thereby. Well bet a cookie it was
the first time he ever got the ''sack," for a
handsome man is Otis, and a newspaper
man, and, per consequence, a favorite. The
silver hunting case watch was drawn by
Monroe Miley, of Is West Broad street.
Tonight the principal presents are mar
ble-top table and a live pig. Let every
body go to see the Variety Troupe to,

THE MESSAGE.

We give the President fair hear
ing this week, notwithstanding the
great length of the paper seems pur-
posely TO forbid country newspapers
from publishing it. What good can
grow out of the Executives wordi-
nesstransccnds our Imagination. 1t is
not our purpose, even had we the
space, to travel over his old stamping
ground of error and sophistry. On
many points, the most important that
of Reconstruction, he refuses to be
guidedby truth. His statomcntsarc at
war with stubborn facts, and he should
have learned ere this that the great
mass Of the people so declare. When
the men who fought the war determine
squarely to surrender the Government
to beaten traitors then his position on
restoration will be analogous to his as
sertion. They are not likely soon to
make such concession and the quibb-
ling dotard should know that it is past
his power,-he has yet the elirontery,
to use a mistaken action on entirely
different questions in behalf of his
Southern allies with effect. He in
dulgcs in pleasing bit of braggadocia
at the expense OF the impeachers which
may draw upon him the fire of a few
bluster ers. The message is before yon
however, and we invite its pcrusa
both that you may see its glarin@
discrepancies and CLEAN the few grains
of wisdom concerning financial affair;
and other tODics,

leave the question of such absorption to this
process OF natural political gravitation. The
Islands OF st. Thomas and ST. Johns, which
constitute portion of the group called Virgin
Islands, seemed to offer us advantages imme
diately desirable, while their acquisition could
be secured in harmony with the principles to
which have alluded. A treaty has there
fore, been concluded with the King of Den
mark for the .cession of those islands, and will
be submitted to the Senate for consideration
1t will hardly be necessary to call the atten-
ton of Congress to the subject of prov viding
for the payment to Russia the sum stipulated
in the treaty for The cession Of Alaska posses
sions il having been formerly delivered to our
Commissioner. The territory remains for the
present in charge of n military force, awaiting
such civil organization as shall be Greeted by
Congress.
The annexation of many small German
States to Prussia, and the reorganization OF
that country under new and liberal Consti-
tuition, have induced me to renew the effort to
obtain a just and prompt settlement Of a long
yexed question concerning the claims of for
eign States for military service from their sub
jects naturalized in the United Sta,es. In
connection with this subject the attention oil
Congress is respectfully called to singular
aHu NOhi1Nt VI ifN's hhS i%N
ecutiye Department of this Government has
hitherto uniformly held, as it now holds, that
naturalization in conformity with the Cons,i-
tuition and laws Of the United States absoyes
the recipient from his native allegiance. The
The Courts of Great Britain hold that allegi-
ance to the British crown Is indeteasible, and
is not absolved by our laws OF naturalization,
and British, Judges cite courts and law authori-
ties of the United States in support of that
theory against the position held by the Exec
utive authority Of the United States. This
conflict perplexes the public mind concerning
rights OF naiumlized citizens and impairs natl-
onal authority abroad. called attention to
this subject in my last annual message, and
now again respectfully appeal to Congress to
declare the national will unmistakably upon
this important question.
Abuse of our laws by clandestine prosecu
tion of the African slave trade, from American
ports, or by American citizens, has altogether
ceased, and under existing circumstances nc
apprehension of its renewal in this part of the
world are established, Under the circum-
stances, 1t becomes question whether We
shall not propose to Her Msjeslys Govern
mcnt suspension or discontinuance of stipu
lations for maintaining naval force for the
suppression of that trade

THE GRANT MOVEMENT.

Our captious neighbor, thinks be-
cause Thad. Stevens declared we should
"throw conscience to the devil" ir
dealing with Southern rebels that every
Republican is bound to agree with him
So in regard to the past action Of Con-
grcss. However much we may de-
plore harsh course toward tho unrc-
constructed States and the methods
taken to bring them back safely into
the Union fold, and it may be to a
great or less degree felt by all Repub-
licans, we have the one idea in view
restoration that shall secure perman-
ent peace, on the basis of impartial
rights and justice to all men. In the
main the policy of the Democratic
party and of the Executive has oppos-
ed this whilst that of Congress has been
its only support. Congress represents
the people upon this question. With
this leading sentiment for watchword
the people have nominated Grant for
the next Presidency. His testimony
before the impeachment committee may
be garbled and quoted and lauded, by
Democratic journals to destroy the
public faith in a worthy servant, to
no effect. lie has spoken in word
stronger even than in deed for ti,e
right. We commend the following
truths, spoken by Gen'l. Sickles, the
other night in New York, to the con-
sideration of those who think "his
(Grant's) policy is as far as possible
from the one proposed by Congress
and the Radical party proper"
Speaking of the Congressional plan Of
reconstructionhe said 1a4 fi
"You haye-seen under what embar-
rassment and difficulties, resulting
from many sources, that plans Of recon-
struction has been conducted. but you
have seen this, also; that while it has

The American Piano Fort,
Trade

Trade.
AS an item of interest to the thousands
of piano buyers in the Northwest, we pub
lish the following article from the New
York Tribune of February 23d:
Twenty-Five years ago the number Of
pianos made in America, was exceedingly
small. The workmanship of these, with
few exceptions, was in eriOr TO that of Eu-
rope. Musical taste and musical demand
grew rapidly, however, and American in
ventors began to revOlutiOnize the Old
World theory of piano structure. The value
of the improvements thus effected in the
making of pianos has been admitted by
the world generally. BY testimony Of the
most eminent musical professors, our own
pianos are decidedly superior to ,hOse Of
Europe.
The annexed statement is founded on
the sworn returns under the Internal Rev
enue laws of fifteen widely known manu-
facturers Of New York, Boston and Balti-
more. Exclusive of Baltimore, for which
we have no return Of pianos, il win be seen
that during the year 1866 there were no
less than 1856 pianos made and sold by
these fifteen firms of three cities. The
sales produced 50, ls4, ,O92 3S, out OF which
sum was paid a manufacturers tax OF
Sl72, ,5l3 33. II is a still more remarkable
fact that the leading manufacturer of New
York and that of Boston jointly realized
by their sales 81 1852, ,44O 80, while the other
thirteen makers combined sold to the eN-
tent Of 81, 1871 ,643. The two firms belong
ing to New York and Boston paid, in fact,
more than one-half of the Government
tax collected. The following is the exhibit

for home, and reached Erie in December,

the way in a sleigh, but afterwards could
not get any conveyance OF any kind; so
| Mr.. Dick was forced to carry his wife on
his back as far MS he could, and rest by the
way wherever they'eould obtain sholter.-
Sometimes they had to lay by for weeks,
on account Of the severe cold, or wet wealth

Exposure. But wheney er the weather would
permit, they heroically pushed on, and
finally, on the oth Of March, 1892, reached
