The Presidents Message.

The President sent in his annual Mes
saget to Congress, yesterday. Through
the enterprise of the n. Y. World, which
put it in type some hours before it was
read, we were enabled last evening, to
glance at its contents.
lie reasserts his determination to sta nd
by the Constitution, and appeals TO Con
gress to aid him in restoring the Union
under it. In reference to the radical
scheme of setting aside or suspending the
powers of the Executive Department oi
the GoVernment,-in the impeachment
programme-the President, with Jack
sonian frmness, declares that he will "take
the responsibilities and save the life of the
nation" The Ashleys, Boutwells, Buffers
and COnovers of Congress must begin to
conclude that they have caught, in him, a
most unmanageabe kind Of Tartar. The
message discusses, at length the military
reconstruction, and negro equality schemes
Of Congress, and exposes 10 the world all
their pernicious and unconstitutional ten.
dencies.
Next week, we shall give our readers, al
least full synopsis of this important doc.
ument, which, we are glad o assure them
has in il, the ring of the pure metal, and
which, with US, goes a great way in atoning
for what has, heretofore, seemed amiss in
the President.

The attempt now to Afncanize the South
has turned the attention of the white men
of this country to the result ofsimilar expe-
riments in other countries. In this connec-
tion,tbe New York Herald, in the course
of an article showing how the Radical theory
of reconstruction is making a combination
of Hayti and Jamaica in the South,says :
In Hayti we have nothing but war Of
races since its discovery by Columbus, from
the negro Emperor, Jacques l, in 1904, to
the present ruler, Salnave, the Haytien part
Of the island has presented even worse
condition than that which is presented in
the long years of wholesale Spanish murd
ers which made its horrors proyerb. How
rapidly the country marches to the prim
tive barbarism, which is the delight of the
negro race, is best shown by the value of
the exports just previous to the accession Of
jacques l, compared with those of to-day
At that time they reached the large figure
, Of s27 $4,000. to-day they are scarcely
$4,000, 900. ... ,... ......

Impeachment.

A majority of the Committee of the
Rump Congress, as stated by US last week,
have cooked up articles of impeachment
against President Johnson for high
crimes and misdemeanors." The founda-
tion upon which their charges are based is
of the most fimsy and unsubstantial char
acter, and is so completely demolished by
the Minority Report of two dissenting Re-
publicans of that Committee, that it is very
doubtful whether even the Rump will pur-
sue the matter further by adopting the re-
port Of the Majority. To show the char
acter of the evidence upon which the char
ges are made, and the utter hollowness of
this whole transaction, we give below an
abstract Of the minority report made by
Wilson and Woodbridge, whose loyalty"
and fidelity TO their party, has never been
doubted. What they say, therefore, should
be taken most strongly against the radi-
Gals, as men are not supposed to make un.
true confessions against themselves and
their party friends. This is, therefore
first rate Republican evidence against the
radical reyolutionists. We hope Repub
licans, into whose hands it falls, will read

REPUBLICAN MINORITY REPORT.

"On the Sd day of June, 1867, it was
declared by a solemn vote in the Commit
tee that, from the testimony then before
them, it did not appear that the President
of the United States was guilty of such
high crimes and misdemeanors as called
for an exercise of the impeacbing power OF
this House. The vote stood yeas 5, nays
A. On the 2lst inst. this action of the
Committee was reversed, and a vote of 5
10 4 declared in favor of recommending to
the House an impeachment of the Presi-
dent. Forty-eight hours have not yet
elapsed since VIC were informed of the
character of the report which represents
this changed attitude of the Committee.
The recentness of this event compels a
general treatment of some features of the
case as it is presented by the majority,
which otherwise would have been treated
more in detail. The report of the MAORI

President closes the door against all doubts.

in support of which there is not particle
of evidence before US which would be re-
ceived by any court in the land. We dis.
sent from all of this, and from the temper
and spirit of the report. The cool and un.
biased Judgment of the future, when the
excitement in the midst of which we live
shall have passed away, will not fail to
discover that the political bitterness of the
present time has in no considerable degree
given tone TO the document which we de-
cline to approve. Dissenting as we do
from the report of the Committee, both as
to the law Of the case and the conclusions
drawn from the facts developed by the
testimony. due regard for the body which
imposed on US the high and transcendantIy
important duty involved in an investiga.
ton of The charges preferred against the
President, compels US to present at length
our views of the subject which has been
committed to US by a most solemn vote Of
the House of Representatives. In ap
preaching this duty we feel that the spirit
of the partisan should be laid aside, and
that the interests of the Republic, as they
are measured by its constitution and laws
alone shall guide US; and we most deeply
regret that in this regard we cannot ap-
prove the report Of the majority Of th(

Fairly DAYS in Wisconsin.

One of the 6Tst missionaries in Wiscon-

ION the 25th of October, 1886, 1 entered
Chicago on the Great Eastern mail stage
consisting of common uncovered luIn-

gage and few passengers brought all the
travellers from the East for the day, as nav
ipation was closed Chicago, with pop
ulation of two hundred thousand to-day,
was then the frontier village, with appar-
emily, some fifteen hundred inhabitants. A
garrison of United States troops at fort
Dearborn, at tho mouth of the river, pro-
tected the inhabitants from the attacks OF
the Indians. The village was mostly limit
ed to few squares east and south OF the
river There were three small buildings OH
the West Side,

the villages on the shore of Lake Michigan
and the mineral region, distance OF one
hundred and twenty five miles.
Gin the fall of 1886, there were farming
settlements near Kenosha, Racine and Mil
waukee There were probably twenty fam.
lilies on Fox river, from Burlington to Wau
kesha There were twenty.seven in Wal
worth county. On Rock river, there were hive
families at Beloit, three at Watertown, two
at or near GAINESVILLE, and two at Fort AT
kinson The number of souls, at that time
from the settlements by the lake shore to
Mineral Point and Dodgeville, could not
have exceeded three hundred and nifty,
nearly all of whom came in the same sea
son Travellers from place to place made
their way by Indian trails, which were M
merous and about six inches in depth anc
eighteen in width. fa
In 1885 there were three hundred ant
