The Preside1st's Message.
1t is understood that the President read
his annual message in its completed form
TO the Cabinet yesterday. 1t is stated
that the most important feature of it is
recommendation to Congress for general
smnesty-in other words, for the removal
of all political disabilities imposed by the
fourteenth amendment.
Troops for Georgia,
The administration has decided TO order
troops into Georgia to sustain the civil
authorities in the enforcement of the Con-
gregs;onal election law at the election in
that State nexlh month. a member of
the Cabinet, who doubted the propriety
of this. expressed the fear that the result
might be the same as in Alabama, where
leading politicians had admitted that the
presence of troops had done no good In
political way.
LATER-A number of troops have
been ordered to Georgia TO aid in entorc-
ing the execution of the Congressional
election law in that State at the approach
ing election. Atlanta will be the point
of distribution.
Trial of the Naval Paymasters.
The trial of the defaulting naval pay
masters is still going forward here. The
case of Lockwood, whose accounts are
short about $50, 600, was concluded on
SATURDAY. and the records of the court sent
to the Navy Department yesterday. This
is the most glaring case of systematic
fraud of any of the eight psymasters
brought before the court, as returns were
falsifed in Lockwood's own handwriting
extending over long period. There is
no doubt that be will be sent to the peni-
Tertiary. 1t is thought that all the SEN
fences viii be promulgated by the Secre-
tary of the Navy at the same time after
the trials are concluded.
The European Complications.
The Russian Minister, in commenting
upon his advices from Europe, expressed
the opinion that there was no longer any
danger of a general European war. He
very emphatically contralicted the i'm
preston that there was an understanding
between Russia and the United States on
the pending questions between Russia
and the other powers.
The Redistribution of the Currency.
Under the provisions of an act of Con-
gress, which passed last July, it is sscer-
tanned at the Treasury Department that
of $54, 900, 600 allowed to the West and
South, with $25, 600, 900 contingent,
there has thus far been but $40, 900, 900
called for. 1t also appears that thus far
only two gold banks are now in success
full operation, one in Boston and one in
San Francisco.
The Alabama Claims.
The following, dictated at the White
House, appeared Uer6Gtinl yesterday in
both the Administration papers, and is
the very latest Presidential comment on
the matter to which it relates:
'sThe Alabama case is now with Great
Britain. Its settlement is her task. As
she deliberately inflicted injuries upon our
commerce, and deliberately prolonged the
rebellion, satisfaction for these grave
wrongs should as deliberately be made.
The United States makes no entangling
alliances with other powers. That is her
traditional policy, at once her duty and
her covenant, and that is to-day the stti-
tude of President Grant. He doe not
propose to take advantage OF the
difficulties of friendly nation.
UulilN France, which intertered
to est Nish q new empire on our South
ern frontier, and unlike England, which
exerted all the influence of her aristocra-
cy, in favor of the rebellion at mo-
ment when the cause of the Union was
doubtful, the President relies upon the
sense of Justice of the English Ministry
and the English masses, believing that
they will seize the first fitting occasion to
close up the only remaining cause OF OFF
ference between people speaking the
same language and animated by the same
frsternsl feelings toward each other.
The New Governor of Utah.
An effort is being made to induce the
President to revoke the appointment OF
V. II. Vaughan as Governor of Utah,
recently promoted from the Secretary ship
of that Territory. While it is true that
Vaughan was appointed Secretary of
Utah upon the recommendation of the
Republican delegation from Alabama,
thew insist that it was not understood
that she Endorsement was for any other
post or included his promotion to so
delicate and important place as Gov
ernor of that Territory. They declare
that Vaughsn's youth and inexperience
in public affairs would seem to have pre-.
cluded the appointment. 1t is charged
that he has stated since his appointment
as Governor, that his promotion was full
q ly understood at Washington, and prlol
TO his acceptance of the Secretaryship
This is denied here on high authority.
