RIV Err NE w :
Weather and water.

The weather yesterday was cloudy
and the coolest of the season, the
mercury standing at 81 above zero at
six o'clock A. NJ, and at IL at noon.
The clouds were thin and broken, and
the wind blew sharp and keen from
northwest. The river has fallenthree
inches, and if this cold weather con
tinues, it will go down fast. Ice
formed rapidly and considerable qdan-
titles foated down the hither shore,
of the sharp, cutting quality. Four
days at this temperature would greatly
obstruct, if it did not entirely suspend,
navigation. We do not, however, APP
prehend any serious obstruction, as
the season is too far advanced.
Arrivals and Departures.
The only arrivals and departures up
to three o'clock yesterday were the
Newsboy, Henderson to return; Tar
ascon, Louisville to return.
BOats Due.
Among the first boats due here are
the Delaware and Pine Grove, for
Nashville; Shamrock, for St. Louis;
Emperor, from Memphis; Clifton and
Cora S., for Memphis; Virginia, Am
azon, and Louisville, for New Or
leans; Quickstep, from Cairo; Alice

New Orleans; Lewellin from East

Abstract of the Presidents Message.

Tho Times special gives the following ab
stract Of lhs Presidents message, which viii
bs given to Congress on Tuesday. The only
rsa. on for delay is the anticipation Of official
news about The settlement Of the Alabama
claims. The message covers the following
points and conclusions thereon:
First-That the Southern States remain
pro.tra,ed, their industry and their resources
cut of, goodly portion Of their population
disfrauchised, their constitutional privilege
of representation still denied through Cou
pressional enactment; most Of them under
military rule.
Seccud-Commendipg the report Of the
Secretary Of the Treasury and iudorsing it,
views in favor Of return TO specie payment
through reduced expenditures. revised Taxa
ton aud gradual contraction Of the paper cir
cuIa,iop with a suggestion Of legislation for
one currency only, and that the National
Banks should have their powers restricted.
Tbird-That our foreign affairs are in a
favorable condition.. negotiations with Great
Btitain on the Alabama claims, so-called
have not reached a conclusion, and certain
portions Of the proposed practical arbitration
are not approved by this Government and
have been returned to Minister Johnson
The resignation of the Brilish Ministry is
regarded As only temporary hindrsncs
MANY details relative 10 these claims it is not
deemed proper to communicate In this mes
sage.
Our offers Of arbitration between Paraguay
and Brazil have been declined. The course
OF Paraguay has been commented on, though
there is an absence of official detail about
the late ou.rages OF Lopez.
The Government has negotiated 4 new
treaty for protection Of naturalizsd citizens
abroad. II has received the new Provisional
Junta in Spain as the de facto Govsrninsut;
but has received no accredited Minister from
the same.
Our affairs with Mexico are satisfactory.
Arrangements for = mixed Commission TO
settle The claims Of Xmsrca with that coun.
Try are in progress at present. but It has
failed 80 far in it's negotiations for the pur-
chase Of naval stations io The West Indies.
lie learns the French are trying to get the
Bay of Samaua from the Dominican Govern
ment.
Full official facts show enormous frauds
in the revenue, which must bs crushed, or
the revenue will fail, and the nation involved
in ruin. The President calls for strong Leg
isIation, and urges the repeal Of the Civil
Tenure Act, which he regards as hindrance
to the rejection of corrupt officers.
Fith-Tbe President refers 10 the Indian
troubles, and the views Of the Peace Com.
missiousrs. lie fears the military establish
ments' expenditures will be largely increased
on the Plains.
Six,h-Hs refers to the withdrawal Of
troops from the Southern States and tbsrs
duc.ion Of the Army. U
He gives . resume Of The operations Of ths
land aud pension system.

clusion and general tenor Of The document

LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

l. Subscribers who does not give express notice
to the contrary, are considered lis wishing to con-
tinue their subscription.
g. II subscribers wish their papers discontinued
publishers may continue 10 send them until all
charges are paid
3. ii subscribers neglect or refuse to take their
papers from the Office or place to which they are
sent, they are held responsible until they settle
their bills and give due notice to discontinue.
1. If subscribers move to other places without
informing the publisher. and the paper is sent to
the former direction, they are held responsible
Notice should always be given ofthc removal.
5. The Courts have decided, that refusing to
take paper from the office, or removing and
leaving it uncalled for, is prmn facie evidence Of
Intentional fraud.
