THE MESSAGE.
OpinIons Of the Press.

NEW YORK, December THE Herald
says Grants message is that of an hon.
est, clear headed, practical man. In
the reconstruction business he simply
looks to the execution of the laws. His
plea for the funding of the debt and the
gradual return to specie payment will
meet the general appreciation of the
country. 1t considers the message non.
committal in Cuban affairs, and says il
is good business message.
The Times says the message is one Of
good news throughout.
The World says it is the weakest
message ever sent to Congress By al
American President. 1t considers tina
the message settles the Cuban insur
rection against the Patriots, and or
financial affairs is too Quixotic and
chimerical for serious consideration.
the Tribune regards the message as
one of the wisest and most judicious
ever transmitted to Congress, and pre-.
diets its hearty approval by the Ameri-
can people

A FOSSIL INsTrTUTIoN.-Th respectable old
fogies who manage that antediluvian institu-
tion, the American Colonization Society, have
given us their annual figures. Receipts,
$5l, ,26O; expenditures, 4,423; deficit,
$l3, 1863. And that is not the worst Of it.
During the three years since the close Of the
war the society has gone behind hand 100000.
An examination of their expenditures gives us
the following facts They have exported 10
Liberia four hundred and afty-three darkies at
cost Of $3l, ,766 for transportation and vic
tualling, and $l7,657 salaries and rent, and
have repaired their ship with the balance,
which is $4,000. We recommend these old
gentlemen to sell their ship, now they have got
her in good repair, and place the money they
get for her in the salary fund. She is getting
old as well as they, and by this means they
may keep up their pay as long as they will
probably want IL. When the present officers
die of we shall have no further use for the

PREPARING FOR THE OCEAN YACHT RACE
1t will be seen by an Atlantic cable despatch
received last night that the gallant yachtmen
across the water are making preparations for
the contemplated great international ocean
yacht race. The Cambria is to be altered to
fit her for the encounter and make her better
able to resist heavy sea. Her hollow bows
are to be filled out her masts heightened and
her keel weighted. This is going into the busi-
ness in true yachtman style. These prepara-
tions indicate that when the race comes Off our
American yachts may expect stubborn
contest.
