THE NEXT MESSAGE.

Grants forthcoming message, 1t IS
said. will be short. The country is glad
to hear it. not the message, but the news
that i. will be short Still we hope that
it will be long enough to allude to the
New York elections and the MeGarra-
han business 1t has not been ascer-
tanned who is to write Grants piece for
him this year, but that is of minor i'm
portance, for Grant name will be at the
bottom. He always signs such docu-
ments as a matter Of form, although it's
all the same. Everybody knows he does
not write them, and tits doubtful whether
he reads any of them before adding his
signature. 1t is amusing to read in the
morning dispatches that subordinate
in the Treasury Department was offered
three thousand dollars for an advance
copy of the report of the Secretary of
the Treasury. This may have been told
by the subordinate; but his refusal, II
made, was doubtless based upon his IN
ability TO secure the report rather than
his unapproachable honesty The Presi
dents message and Boutwelrs report
will probably be delivered to Congress
and TO the press next Monday. 1t II

GEN. uUCROT.

The dispatches from France are Of the
most startling character. Gen. Ducrot,
at the head of 100000 regular troops oil
the line, has made . successful sortle and
cut his way through the Prussian lines.
He crossed the river Marne at the head
of his victorious columns, and entrenehed
himself on the line Of the river. Ihe
junction of Ducrot, his victorious troops
flushed with victory, with the army OF
the Loire, under Palladines, may change
the whola aspect of the war, If the VIC
tory is as complete as reported Paris
is saved, and the tide of battle may be
rolled back toward the Rhine. France
is wild with excitement over the great
victory. H4r

To the Editor of the Gazette:

election in this county are about to cnl-

Mr.. L. d. Beldin, brother of the

were handed to Mr.. L. ID. Beldln,
his guilty conscience admonished him
that it must be United States warrant
for arrest, and without waiting TO learn
the true nature Of the documents in his
hands, he called in Tom Bass, our negro
constable, who declared that he was the
only man who could serve a writ in this

of being peculiar pet Of Gov Clayton,

Some of the duties now required are dis
agreeable, and can hardly be said to
belong to the military service. On this.
subject the report proceeds: Where U.
S. marshals and assistant .marshals call
for military aid to execute the process OF
the courts there should be an order OF
the court authorizing such acquisitions
on the ground that no proper civil posse
comitatus could be obtained. 1t may be
proper to remark in this place that |
have beer assured by Federal civil
officers that the use Of troops IN
executing judicial process and enforcing
the revenue and other civil laws seem to
increase rather than diminish the appa-
rent necessity Of resorting to such force
in civil matters. The ill-disposed be-
come more and more exasperated at
being coerced by force which they
think has been unconstitutionally en-
ployed against them, and the better dis
posed relax their efforts to punish local
crime, on the plea that this duty now
devolves on the military. Hence, IN the
case of a robbery or murder there is
call for Federal troops to arrest and
guard the criminals. 1t is therefore a
question well worthy of consideration
whether the military in civil matters
should not be limited to few well-de-
fined cases, such as riots and insurrec-
tons which cannot be suppressed by
local and State authorities.
