intimation that such taS.law must be un'

states that he expects next year to collect
from Virginia a,9Gs,OOo. and from Massa'

population Of the two States determined
the amount of taxation which they ought
TO pay respectively, Massachusetts would
have to nay five millions to Virginia's four ;
whilst If the relative wealth of the two
States determined it, Massachusetts ought

Such legislation it Is that causes our people
to be so tardy in renewing their love for the

The Presidents Message.

W. ,uhlish this morning an abstract OF
a.. presidents message. Before INDUCING
IN extended comments upon II, we snai'
,,ait until we shall have read the whole
document. since it would hardly be fair to
,udrc Of its merits from a telegrarhic synop-
ss Of its contents. Enough, however. APP
rears to Justify us in inferring that General
GRANT has surrendered his own policy botn
Mt home and abroad, and instead OF saying
"I.et us have peace" calls for trouble III
the South, and trouble with Great britain

h,od and could have been uttered loi Nv
other purpose than to arouse IN 'ne noi.

;,,d;ce unon which the Radicals SO often
rode into power previous to this year. ms
recommendations in regard to the hsheries
and the Alabama claims are no petteE.
Tbcv will touch no responsive chord III
IN, bosoms of the American people, VINO
are sick of New England and her tarinS
and bounties and general blood-Sackins
nropcnsities, and have no desire to go TO
war with any Power under the sun on her
account. SO as to his utteranceS IN reSaru

any idea Of having the least trouble Win

msngo or the Bay Of SANTANA.
The Presidents references TO Germany
and France are non-committal enough to
,,tisfv the most prudent of his friends.
His recommendations in regard to the
finances, and to the various other subjects
of domestic policy touched upon, we shall
not comment upon this morning. We SHALL
A. in duty bound, publish the message IN
full tomorrow morning. We therefore dls-
miss it for the present in the hope that IL
has more of General GRANTS and less oil
Beast Buffers policy in it than the synop-
sjs of it would lead Us to believe.

Poor RIvEs And Judge RIvEs has con.
sented to contest the right of Colonel DUKE
to his seat in the House of Representatives
Well. there's no telling how low man will
90 when he once enters the downward path
of Radicalism. We feel ashamed of the
Judge as Virsinian. We are mortified
that this good old Commonwealth should
exhibit to Congress the spectacle which he
has arranged for her humiliation. But we
doubt that even this Congress will give him
seat under the circumstances. Time will
soon decide. The position is good for only
three months at most.

LAWYERS IN Collision WITH THE Raj

LAWYERS IN COLLISION WITH THE RAIL
ROAD Observation-Disclosures DISCOVERED
Salt Lake, Utah Territory, Dec. "a few
days since F. F. Tracy, the agent of Wells,
Fargo & Co., in this city, received dis
patch from Elko, Nevada, stating that two
lawyers named Bonnafield and Rand, of
Elko, said to be employed as counsel for
Dan Taylor, one of the Central Pacific road
express car robbers, had, after consulta-
ton with Taylor, suddenly gone eastward.
Mr.: Tracey put the matter into the hands
of the police, and as soon as Bonnafeld and
Rand arrived on the train they were tracked
by detectives and followed west from this
city to place near where Taylor was cap
tured and arrested In the act Of digging up
the stolen treasure. The detectives took
from the lawyers forty-fye ounces Of gold
dust and % 900 in green backs, and digging
further they recovered $500 in gold coin.
Bonnafelf and Rand are now In jail here.
They saw that TAYLOR told them where the
treasure was hiddenin order to induce them
to act as his counsel. -

JOHN Browns DAY.-Friday was the
eleventh anniversary of the execution of
John Brown, at Charlestown, Va, for the
crime of leading an armed force against the
State of Virginia for the purpose of nbe-

sary Of his death, says the New York Sun,
has been solemnly observed by the colored
people Of that city, and Friday night large
number assembled at Shiloh Presbyterian
Church, corner of Prince and Marion streets,
to assist in concentrating the sacrifice of
the dead patriot. There was singing and
PRAYER and eulogistic speeches. Fl. High

Again has the irrcpressible PORTER been
snubbed by the House of Representatives.
rbe slap which PAT WooDs once gave him
in the face was as nothing compared with
that administered to him yesterday by his
fellow-memberS. They beg leave to be ex-
cused from performing any more dirty jobs
for PORTER. FARLEY, the porter, was in
duced to let enemies into his masters castle

Admission Of DR.. Bledsoe-Hts Sermon
Yesterday DR.. Albert 7. Bledsoe, of the
Southern Quarterly Review, who lately ex-
pressed publicly his dissent from certain
tenets of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
formally connected himself with the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, and after
wards preached from the pulpit of the Cen.
trail Church Of that denomination, Lexing-
ton street, on predestination. There was a
Munsey, pastor of the church, conducted
the services incidental to such occasions,
which are simple and direct.
DR.. Bledsoe appeared before the altar,
and, after answering the questions pro-
pounded him by DR.. Munsey, according to
the requirements Of the church discipline
for receiving new members, promising to
conform to oil the usages OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, was duly admit
ted. After this ceremony Dr. Bledsoe as
cended the pulpit with DR.. Munsey, and
read his sermon.-BaH. Sur, 5th.

The case in England does not appear to
be parallel: there is dense population
there is pauper labor already createa
there is constant strife, not for wealth,
but for any employment for daily bread ;
and God grant that ii may be many years yet
before our working classes become similar
to those of England Cldfin's Weekly.
And this "constant strife, not for wealth,
but for any employment for daily bread
will arise in this country so soon as it shall
be cursed with that too dense population
which SO many persons consider the highest
evidence of prosperity. Let us make haste
slowly. We shall be old and decrepit soon
enough.

where each lady attending the party makes
a neck-tie Of the same material as the dress
she wears. These are taken to where the

When the gentlemen arrive each one must
