Message Of the President

ACCOMMODATIONS an BehdH of american Com
merce.
President Grant yesterday sent to the House
Of Representatives his promised message upon
the decline of American commerce. He recon-
mends the passage Of the bills recently prepared
by the committee on this subject to encourage
and increase the national commerce. and states
his belief that subsidy given directly in money
Is less liable to abuse than II given in auy other
manner. The President says: f" 1t is a nationa,
humiliation that We are now compelled to pay
from twenty to thirty millions OF dollars annual,
ly exclusive Of passage money, which we should
snare % win ne wnrp ~hcb sSon %
American vessels-American built, American
owned and American manned. This is a direct
drain upon the resources of the country of lust

the vast and ever-increasing interior resources
Of the United States, extending, as 1t does, from

population. must, one day, possess its full share
Of the commerce OF these oceans, no matter
what the cost.
Delay win only increase this cost and enhance
the difhculty Of attaining the result. therefore
put in an earnest plea for early action in this
matter In way to secure the increase of Amer
lean commerce. The advanced period Of the
year, and the fact that no contract for ship
question IL settled by Congress, and the further
fact that II there should be much delay all large
vessels contracted for this year will fail OF COM

THE PRESIDENT SusTAIys GENERAL CANBY
Several Republican members of the Virginia
Legislature, accompanied by Representative
Platt, had an interview with the President thi,
morning, during which the condition of affairs
in that State were briefly discussed. The Pres
ident, however, expressed no opinion az to the
merits OF the controversy, but said that General
Canby's action was simply to prevent riot and
bloodshed, and he would have rendered himself
blamable had he neglected to take the precau-
tons he had to keep the peace.
As A COMMENT on the current talk in regard
to an Indian massacre, Grace Greenwood puts
the following in a recent letter: " While on q
visit to the Land Office, was shown by Mr..
Wilson, the Commissioner, a singular relic Of a
late fight on the plains. 1t was a garment taken
from an Indian chief, after death. A shirt of
buckskin, made without the usual ornamental
ton OF beads and porcupine quilts, vet graced
with something quite novel in the decorative
way-d full, long Jringe formed e the hair of whits
ronen and children. 1t was q ghastly adorn-
ment-indeed, the entire garment was q very
unpleasant thing to inspect The only peint in
it on which the eye could rest without horror or
pity, was a small round hole, beneath which the
raging heart of human wild beast came one
day to a full stop"
A NIsAPPREHKHsION has gained currency
lately in regard to the personnel of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, growing out of q statement
made public to the effect that Mr.. Parnell has
resigned the Third Deputyship. This statement
is not correct in point of fact. 1t Is understood
however, that soon after the investigations upon
which he is at present engaged in New York arc
completed, Mr. Parnell will carry out the in
tention he has for some time past entertained.
and tender his resignation.
The names of several gentlemen have been
mentioned in connection with the vacancy thus
to occur, but the friends OF Col ID. c. Cox feel
sanguine that he will receive the commission
when one is made out. Col. c., at present. fills
an important position in the Office and his ap
pointment would be both judicious and popular.
