- Washington dispatch, OF Monday, says:
uAsdecfsIop OF considerable importance to all
persons whe have purchased real estate IN the
South under the sales Of the same By the Fed
eral Government for taxes was decided In the
Supreme Court OF the United States to day, on
an appeal from claimant whose lana nau
been sold by the Federal tax commissioners
ufier the act Of 1852, and deed given by TWO
of the three commissioners who were author-
lied to sell. Two questions were involved
the validity Of the-law and the validity OF the
sspd,7 The court sustained both, and held
that IA the sale was made, by public act, 1t
.vas entirely competent for two o. the three
commissioners to convey title. The virtual
effect of this decision is TO give all the present
owners of these lands fee-simple in the
same. A good deal of property is held In
Virginia and South Carolina under these tax
titles" @'.'
Washington correspo ondent OF the New
York Herald declares that he has succeeded
Ii, fsrfeting out main points Of the Presidents
annual message. BE says: 1.-THE leading
subjects which will be discussed will be Inter
nal taxaiien, the tariff, finances, the Washing
ton Treaty, the Indians, aud the. Ku-Klu1 dis
turbances in the South. On the question OF
internal taxation it is understood that the
message will recommend the abolition OF all
internal taxes, except on spirits, malt liquors,
tobacco In every form, and stamps. Con-
slderfng the satisfactory condition of the
finances, It has been found by careful estl-
mates that the current expenses Of the gov
erinimert. including the interest on the
national debt, can be easily met from the
revenues from these sources, and still leave
a surplus for an annual small seduction
of the principal. This is chiefly owing to the
successful administration Of the internal rev.
enue bureau In the collection of the taxes on
tha articles retained. The tariff will also be
fnlIy treated upon, but the message will en-
brace no specific recommendations as to the
articles upon which there shall be reduction
or which shall be placed on the free list The
message will also allude, but very briefly, to
the operations of the Ku-Klux societies In the
Southern States. 1t will be left to the Attor-
new General to report at length the condition
of the question and what measures have been
taken 10 suppress this insurrectionary order.
The labors Of the high joint commission,
and the successful conclusion of the Wash
ington Treaty during the past year, will be
subject of congratulation to Congress, with
the expression of the belief that the compile
ton OF the duties of the commissions estab-
lshed by the treaty will harmoni7e all mat
ters of controversy which have been ~ .cng
pending between the governments at WASH
iuptou and lonllon. This will also lead to
some observations upon the generally salts
factory relations existing between the United
States and the rest of the world. Theneces-
sity of a reform in the civil service has
already been brought before Congress in pre-
yious messages. Another reference to the
subject may be made. ANY further discus
sion ofthe st. Domingo question is yet under
adyisement. The message, it is understood,
will be as brief as the subjects discussed will
admit, merely calling the prominent points of
the department reports to the special atten-
tion of Congress"
Hon. Montgomery Blair has been Inter-
viewed. BE saye let the Democratic party as
an organization stand back and the field be
kent clear to the dsaffected and independent
Republicans; let the Radicals call their con-
yention and nominate Grant, and let the inde-
pendent Republicans bolt and nominate who
ever they please, and then the Democrats rally
10 his support He says some sacrifice must
be made to defeat Grant, and expresses q per-
sonal preference for William Cullen Bryant,
although he thinks that Trumbull would make
a splendid candidate, as would also Judge
Davis, Judge Rawney. ex-Secretary Cox or
Mr.. Gratz Brown. In spite OF his tariff pro-
clivilies, he would support Ar. Greeley. He
does not think there is any scarcity OF
material, and that the only difficulty to
be apprehnded is in the Hunkersm and
Borrbonism Of the Democracy. IN the course
of his interview, Mr.. Blair said: IF
the Democrats don't make nomination,
Grant will make one for them. He will buy
up enough Democrats to hold convention,
and 60 through with the farce Of making g
nomination. l have reason to know that he
would have attempted it in 1868 If Chase had
been nominated. That is thing to be pro-
vided for at the proper time. But Grant still
holds a strong sectional card which he in
tends to play. Why, he is the man that went
down 10 the capital last spring, and when
Congress was hating over an enforcement
bill, ordered that one be passed, and it was
done. Grant has got Ku-Klux bill, and, for
mere sectional capital, he Is bound to IND
aKu-Klu1 organization. He has sent CON-
mittee trouplng all through the Southern
States, and the evidence they have collected
