iThe Open Polar Sea.

- While the Artie exploring expedi-
tion by way of the Pacific, and that of
Captain Hall by the s'oveflandT route
have been pushing their way toward
the open Polar Sea, and engaging th g
attention of the scientific world, a RE-
port reaches the public that Isieuten-
ant Julius Payer has found his way to-
ward this sea by, the route suggested
first we believe by the distinguished
German lgeegrapher, DIR. Peterman.
Long ago he reported that beyond the
Northern limit to which expeditions
had sailed on theroute between Spitz-
bergen and Nova Zeinbla, d vast sea
stretched away still, aud that by fol-
lowing the trend of the Gulf Stream
q passage into the open Polar Sea
might be found This route has been
followed, and without any flourish of
trumpets or costly preparations, Lieut..
2. has sailed into tfis.sea and returns to
tell as lnodestlyj how the result was
attained. In the first place, without
fitting out a costly expedition or inVit-
ing the attention OF mankind to his en-
terprise, he chartered a small Norwe-i
gian sailing vessel for the tripand sail
ed as far North as 79o north latitude,
nearly four degrees further than Capt.
X oldeay reached in his steamer. How
he succeeded so,mach better than for
mer expeditionSl lie tells us with great.
modesty.d Nearly ali the former exii
pediti0ns, re says. entered and left
too soon, being apprehensive of being
caught by the fee.h He found, howev-
er, that the most favorable time for
navigating this sea is in the fall. Be
sides, other lnavigators hugged either
the coast of Nova Zembla or Of Spitz-
bergen too closelywhile he took, the
strip of water between 40 and 42o long-
itude, and found fair sailing. There
seems to be no doubt that he merely.
followed the Gulf Stream and if he had
had Supplies for a further journey
might have discovered some of the
wonderful secrets which are supposed
to be locked up in the;ice of these arctic
regions. Having ascertained, howev
er, the exact channel to follow and the
season at which to follow it, itonly re-
mains for future navigators to sail in
to this sea withe their fleets ami grati-
fy the curiosity of the scientific world.
This Is another triumph for the Ger
mans, who of recent years have been
so fraitful of triumphs, and settles the
dispute between. DR.. Peterrnan and the
English geographers. The old route
and the one which Captain Hall is now
pursuing, is by;w way of Bafin's Bay
and Smiths land. This, DIR. Petermann
held, was not the best route, since that
which the Gulf Stream takes between
Nova Zembla and Spitzbergen prOmis-
ed to be the warmest and most free of
ice. The route followed is almost pre-
cisely that which he indicated a year
or two since AS that of the Gulf

Congress convened on Monday at
noon. The Presidents Message was
read, the most important points Of
which we give in this number The
omitted parts chiefly refer to foreign
affairs. Itspeaks of our friendly rela-
tions with Prussia and Russia --says
but little of France of the acknowl;
edgementof Italian unity; of the set
tlement of Spanish difficulties and Of
our neutrality in Cuban affairs. 1t rec
ommends the punishment Of Ameri-
cans abroad who are engaged in hold
ing slaves; regrets that the promised
emancipation of slaves in the West In
dies had not been effected; hopes that
Mexico win abolish the "Free Zone''
and restrain lawlessness on the border.
Remarks upon the Army and Navy
are unimportant. Mr.. Dawes is chair
man of Ways and Means, Mr.. Garfield
of Appropriations, McCrary Of Elec-
tions, Bingham Of the Judiciary, Shell
labarger of Commerce, and Banks of
Foreign Affairs. Beck of Kentucky
and Blair of Missouri have already
made attacks upon the President by
inquiring by what authority he sus-
pended the writ of HG6eas Corpus in
South Carolina. e.-1as .s1Eill f.la

THE REFORM MovEMENT.

1t IS gratifying to notice the favorable
chan ge which is taking place through
out the country. in bringing to punish
rneiit those who have proved reereant to
the trusts confided to them, aud in ele-
waiting to public office none but thos-
who possess the confidence of the hone
est and virtuous, who. it will always be
found, comprise the majority of the
community in which they live.

The Presidents Message viii meet
with general favor among all except
his partisan enemies, disafected Re
publicans, and those who are eonstitul-
tionsily opposed to everything. 1t Is
te-se, yetsuficiently comprehensive to
allow him to touch upon all questions
with which an executive officer has to
deal. His treatment Of the Amnesty
question will surprise some administra-
tionmen, as it. was a matter Of surprise
to the Democratic side of the house.
WeitEink it poor policy either in reiig;
ious or civil affairs to grant forgiveness
before repentance, yet when the am
nesty laws as they now exist are defee-
tive, the Presidents recommendation
of the entire removal of all restrictions
upon the ballot may be commendable'

M THE NATIONAL DEBT.
The national debt has been reduced to
the extent of $50, ,O57, 1850 during the
year, and by the negotiation of the ma
tional bonds at a lower rate Of interest
the interest on the public debt has been
so far diminished that now the sum to
be raised for the interest account is
nearly seventeen million dollars less
than at the 1st of March, 1883. 1t was
highly desirable that this rapid dimin-
ution should take place both 10 strength
en- the credit of the country and to con-
vince its citizens of their entire ability
to meet every dollar Of liability with
out bankrupting them; bat in view OF
the accomplishment of these desirable
ends, of the rapid developement of the
resources of the country, It's increasing
ability to meet larger demands and the
amount already paid, it is not desira-
Bile that the present resources of the
country should continue to be taxed in
order to continue this rapid payment.
I therefore recommend q modification
of both the tariff and internal tax laws.

other means and implements used by
them for carrying out their unlawful
purposes. This warning not having
been needed, on the 18th of October
another proclamation was Issued, sus
pending the writ of hG6eos corpus il

was given that within the counties 81
designated persons supposed, upon re
liable Information, to be members %
such unlawful combinations, should, bt
arrested by the military forces of the
United States and delivered to the
Marshal to be dealt with according to
law. In two of said counties York
and Spartanburg-many arrests have
been made. At the last account the
number of persons thus arrested wa:
one hundred and sixty-eight; several
hundred whose erimipality was ascer
tanned to be of ali inferior degree, were
released for the present. Thess have
generally made confessions of THEN
guilt. Great caution hase been eXer.
cised in making these arrests, and
notwithstanding the large number,
it is believed that no innocent person
is now in custody. The prisoners will
be held for regular trial before the ju-
dicial tribunals of the Unit ID States.
AS soon as it appeared that the author
titles Of the United States were abou
to take vigorous measures to enforce
the law, many persons absconded, and
there is good ground for supposing that
all such persons have violated the law.
A full report of what has been done
under this law win be submitted to
Congress by the Attorney General. a
