The Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1865-1870, 1868-12-11
BY TELEGRAPH.
From the Gold Hill News Of last evening.

s, sage read in Congress yesterday afternoon
!; 1t is not so lengthy as former messages
ot being contained in four columns, fine print
IL and occupying six and half hours in trans
lie mission.
a The message opens with malignant de-
e. nunciation Of the Reconstruction laws il
i then demands the repeal of the Tenure Of
Office Bill, on theground that it impedes eff
:, fcient administration, and allows too much
latitude for dishonest Government agents.
The currency and financial situation are
next discussed at considerable length, the
President favoring speedy return to specie
payments; end the speedy payment of the
national debt, which he thinks ought to be
, liquidated within IL years.
Our relations with Foreign Powers are
next treated of. Paraguay is the only one
with whom we have any serious and mena
cling misunderstanding and Rear Admiral
Davis has been sent with power TO settle with
President Lopez, and demand satisfaction for
wrongs inflicted upon our citizens and flag
The President is treating with Columbia
|
canal through the Isthmus of Darien. He
hints strongly at the probable future annexa-
ton of the Dominican Republics to the |
United States, and finds in this subject |
pretext for such an insult to the laws of Con-
gress made for the reconstruction of the
South as ought to consign his name to in
fanny, or as justifes a doubt of his entire
sanity.
The President repeats his recommendation
for amendments to the Constitution as to the
relations of President and Vice President of
the United States, Senators and Federal
Judges.
He says little about our relations with Great
Britain, but hopes they are satisfactory.
The Alabama claims protocol will soon be
ready for submission in treaty form to the
Senate.
On the whole, this is the most extraordi-
nary message ever sent by any President to
Congress; and in peevi>h malice without a :
precedent in modern State papers.
