TenEesSee-The Illinois Senator
ship-Sumner-Amendment 80 the
Funding haW-L0gan on Reduction
of the Navy.
WASHINGTON, December 6 6-Repre-
sentative Washburn, OF Wisconsin,
has received letter from his brother,
our Minister to France, in which he
says that the people of Paris have
provisions enough to hold out until
the first of January.
Representative RodeTick Il. Butler,
of Tennessee, is here, but did not an
sWer to his name yesterday. His
friends say he will appear in the
House to day aud make personal ex-
PLANTATION. during which he will refer
to the damaging charges which have
been made against him In connection
with the pension frauds. and demand
an investigation by Congress into the
whole subject.
The election of General Logan to
the United States Senate from llli-
nois, in place of Yates, is regarded as
certain. OF the 125 Republican mem
bers of the Illinois Legislature, so
are claimed by Logan's friends as
pledged to him. The remainder are
divided between Gov. Palmer, Gen.
Oglesby and Gen. Koerner.
Senator Sumner states that the OBJ
ject of his bill introduced yesterday,
but upon which he could not obtain
an action. is to stop the running OF the
presses in the Treasury Department
and prevent the future printing of
United States currency in the place
of Horn-out notes. He believes this
course will gradually contract the cur
rency and bring about specie pay
ments. The bill provides for amend
ing the funding law increasing the
five per cent. bonds from 500, 600, 900
to $500,000,000. The Senator does
not believe that bonds bearing a
lower rate of interest can be negoti-
ated under the present condition of
finances.
General Logan will introduce, as
soon as possible, a resolution abolish
ing the Office of Admiral in the navy
at once, and the Office of Vice Ad-
miral as soon as a vacancy occurs,
This will relieve the navy to an equal
ity of rank with the army grades of
General and Lieut.. General, which
are, by virtue of the army reduction
set of last session. to be discontinued
as soon as vacancies occur.
Logan intends to press this measure
before any confirmation is made by
the Senate of an appointment to fill
the vacancies occasioned by the death
Of Admiral Farragut.

Miners, STRIFE.

SCRANTON, Pa, December G.-The
miners in the districts operated by
the Delaware, LackaWanna i Western
Railroad Company to day resolved by
a vote of ], 600 to 400,to suspend work
The company reduced the wages of
the miners forty-f five cents a car.
Upon this reduction the suspension is
based.
All the men at Delaware, in the
Hudson Canal COmpany's works arc
also out, bat apparently not upon def
mite action taken by them as in the
case of the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western Company's men. The sup
ply of coal in stock by the three
great companies is probably sufficient
to meet all the demands of the mar
ket for some months.

Presidents Message.

We print the message in full this
morning, on the second page. As it
is quite short, when compared with
most of its predecessors, we presume
everybody will carefully read it for
themselves, and make up their own
opinions as to its merits or dement's.
The views of the President upon the
different questions 20 which he calls
the attention Of Congress are easily
understood. BE has not learned the
art Of using language to conceal
ideas. What he thinks he declares in
plain English. and the common peo-
pie can as clearly comprehend him as
can statesmen and diplomatists.
Whether his opinions be right or
wrong. is open 10 discussion. But
there can be no discussion as to what
these opinions are.
The President urges, with great
pertinaeity. the annexation of the
Island of San Domingo, and deFotcs
considerable Of his message to the dis
cussiOn Of that question. We are of
the opinion that the people are tired
of the Government specnlations in
Real Estate, and have as little anxiety
to own the toFnados aud earthquakes
Of San Domingo. as they had to pur-
chase the icy mountains and valleys
and half-starved Indians Of Russian
America. The people are not banker
ing after any more States or Islands.
The President thinks, Of oourse,
that Congress should legisla,e to re-
store specie Payments, as everybody
else does. We appreheud, however,
that the kind of legislation most
needed is that which will most rapidly
develop the resources of the coun-
try, and keep dOEn the expenditures
Of the Government to the lowest pos
sible limit. Gen. Grant has already
done well in this particular, but there
il still room for improvement in some
Of the Departments.
What will, no doubt. greatly con-
found the reformers aud new party
men. the President comes out square
ly in favor Of reform in the Civil Ser
vice, SO as to provide for both ap-
pointment and tenure, and relieve
CoDgressmen from the thankless and
disagreeable labor Of procuring sp-
poiutments.
As stated By z cotempOrary, the
message runs largely to details taken
from the department reports, and
shows q desire to make full present
aticn Of the business of the country.
It's greatest argumentatiye force is
devoted 10 oaa Domingo. 1t con-
eludes with a general statement of the
policy Of the administration. which is
everything that can be wished. In
this his statement Of the rule that the
tariff taxation should be reduced in
such a way as to give relief TO the
greatest number Is the very principle
of tariff reform
We have not undertaken to sum
marizs all the topics treated in the
message. 1t will be necessary for
every one to read is in order to appre-
eiate it.

south Amerlca-the War In Uraguay.

MoNTEYIDEO, Nov. 6. - Gaucho,
leader Of the Aparicio. has out
generated both Suarez and OarabeIlo,
defeating them In detail at Casavalle
and CorValitO, having at the latter
place compelled Carabello to treat for
a capitulation. After agreeing to an
armistice, BlancO's forces retired
mile. The Colorado Chief stole away
under the cover of darkness, forfeit
ing his word of honor to pay land or
city bordering on the Uruguay River,
losing all his traiaE and artillery, and
by Generalization, one-half of his re
naming force. SuareZ pushed for
ward with all his available force, TO
support Paysander and Aparia;o, and
with his colleagues. maneuVered 50
adroitly that COloradO's forces were
left unmolested. Blanco's army,
numbering 1000 men of all arms,
then marched 200 miles and made
their appearance at the town of
Launcon, three miles from this city,
very unexpectedly on the 9th ult, TO
lay siege to the Capital, left by their
COM binatiOns, isolated aud unsup-
ported by Colorado's armies outside.
This city is nov defended by $500
men, who are armed with needle
guns, Spencer and Remington rifles.
Constant picket firing is kept up on
both sides, and quite a number are
killed and wounded daily.
The loan of $500. 900, contracted
with the house of Launz & Co, o.
Buenos Ayres, by the Battle Admin.
istratiou, is likely to prove fallacious.
The Rtanc0 party have protested and
notified the bankers that. in the
event of their coming into power,
they will not recognize the loan.
The effects of the siege is being felt
la the enhanced prices Of all articles
Of daily consumption. Meat which
sold for six cents per pound last
month, now sells at one dollar and A
half; milk formerly costing four cents
Is now worth ffiy cents per quart.
AdVices fIom New York of October
14sh, quoting Buen0s Ayres and Mon
tevideo hides at 244 cents, caused an
advance in prices here and caused in
creased activity in the shipments to
New York, which are now unusually
large. There are now purchased and
ahoat at this port and Buenos Ayr.s,
over 800, 1000 hides. Ga accou 1T nf
these heavy purchases, prices will
pfODahly uootlnS Ia new uEk III q an~
uary next.
Since the fearful riot. AsunOion has
been quiet. The Provisional Gov
ernment, aided by the Chamber of
Deputies, is fastening in the fran
ing a new national charter, aad the
election of q new goYerom3nt for
these people.
The Assembly passed. after consid-
ersble debate, bill granting reli
gious freedom, butit exeites hostility
throughout the country, and the WO-
men Of Paraguay have been chosen
to petition for the repeal of the law;
hence, lively times are anticipated.
The country is fast settling into order
and comparative prosperity.
FortunateO Flores, the instigator Of
the late riot, has gone to Europe.
