THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We give in this issue of the CHRONICLE
a synopsis of the Presidents Message as
read to the two Houses of Congress yester-
day. Like all of President Grants state
papers it is written in plain, straightfor-
ward style, vigorous, sensible and pointed.
On all questions legitimate before Congress
or the people it speaks out boldly and une-
quivocally. He favors a postal telegraph.
maps out grand system of internal inn
promvements to bind the Lakes and the
Gulf; wants to increase our merchant SER
vice on the Ocean; proposes to carry
American ideas to the far Eastern Emnires
of Asia, and asks Congress to aid him in
establishing for the country perma.

Service. He expresses the hope that
the South may be forever rid of law.

resentatives. For near fourteen years he
has been one of its ablest members.
In knowledge of parliamentary rules
gained from long experience as promi-
nent member of the House or from dis
eliminating judgment and quick percep-
ton, he has certainly few peers on the roll
of the next Congress. Through a long
public life. by uprightness, integrity and
faithful services, he has gained the conf
dence of the people of the whole nation.
Throughout the late bitter canvass, when
SANDER and invective was hurled at most
of our prominent leaders,i not a word
affecting his honesty or the purity of his
private or public life was heard. Hestands
among the best, ablest and purest of our
public men, and his elevation to any high
er sphere of duty would be honorable alike
TO the nation and its servant.
He represents the best elements of the
Republican party of the South-the men
who have been always true to the Govern
ment and consistently, honestly and ably
the champions of Republican principles.
Why, then, if fitted for this position, if de-
serving it upon his merits, and if having
additional claims upon it, because of his
geographical position, should he not be
chosen Speaker?

THE FoRrY-TAIED CONGRESS.

Vice President Wilson, who will preside
over the Senate of the Forty-Third Con-
gress, is from New England. If Speaker
Blaine should be reelected as Speaker of the
House of Representatives, it would give to
New England the presiding officers of both
branches of our next Congress. Is there
any reason why she should enjoy such
unusual prepo nderance over the West, the
Middle States or the South? We IA
vored Senator Wilson for the nom
ination for Vice President because
he was eminently qualified for the place
and because he was from section en-
titled to the position, We have a very great
respect for and high appreciation of the
abilities and past services of Hon. jaime G..
Blaine. We do notwish to be understood as
disparaging in any way his great liability, or
his merits as public officer But he has
twice been chosen to the third office in the
republic, and inasmuch as his section has
been honored in the election of that pure
man, Henry Wilson, we think he should
give way for the representative of some
other section of the country.
The South has no such representation in
any Of the departments Of the Government
as she deserves. We think in the person
of Hon. Horace Maynard she presents {
gentleman IN every way worthy of III,

II seems from the Tribune that Mr.
Greeley has written but little for his journal
since he resumed editorial control of after
the election. He wrote an editorial, at the
time attributed to his pen, Conclusions
in which he gave his views of the result of
the election. On several occasions he be-
gan articles, but finding his $, -ength fail
ing, he handed them to his as sistant, sug-
gesting that the idea might be profitably
carried farther.
He was not pecuniarily as well off as was
supposed. He was credited during the
campaign with having made liberal con-
tributions to the campaign committees.
His life was insured for one hundred thou
sand dollars for the benefit of the Tribune
association.

THE Tennessee Press Association, at its
session on Thursday, passed a resolution
in opposition to the practice which prevails
of getting up editorial excursions under
auspices of Press Associations. These eX-
cursions are too often participated in main
ly by dead beats, who seize the,opportunity
to obtain ''dead-head" tickets and travel in
style without money. Parties outside of
the press, are not seldom the lions of such
occasions.

The Tribune reports Senator summers
health improved by his trip to Europe. 1t
says of his future course in the Senate
"Cherishing the same views which he has
so often and so fearlessly expressed, he will
nevertheless make no factious opposition
to the new Administration of Gen. Grant :;
will give cordial support to whatever he
can approve, and offer manly, open re
sistauce to whatever he disapproves."

n YEAR or so ago, Bret Harte was the
most talked-of poet in the Universe. A
large number of would-be poets, who write
doggerel and call it poetry were trying to
write after his peculiar style. But his for
tunes appear now to be on the wane. His
disappointment of the literary people of
Boston, once or twice, has set up an I'M
pleasant buzzing round his poetical ears
and his reputation is suffering.

THE Memphis Appeal justifies its
scheme to colonize or rather exterminate
the blacks in the South, by referring to
Mr.. Lin coln's encouragement of the colo
nization scheme ten years ago. There are
marked differences between the two pol
icies. Mr.. Lincoln's was suggested ten
years ago, when there was, in some minds,
uncertainty and doubt as to the future of
the colored race. They were then Slaves
and the policy of emancipation had not
then been fully decided upon. Mr.. Lin
coins policy was prompted 10y friendliness
to the colored race, while the Appedrs
grows out of hatred. Mr.. Lincoln's pro-
posed policy was colonization if necessary,
while the appears is practically crter-
D2iHdtiOR. 1t advises the whites of
the South not to give the color
ed race employment, nor to care
for their aged or young Thisgrows out of a
spirit of revenge. 1t means determination,
starvation and all the horrors of struggle
that such selfish, cruel policy would force
upon the defenceless race. But we do not
propose to admit that the appeal can JUS
ify by comparing its policy with Mr..
tLincoln's. There is vast difference in
the circumstances under which the two
suggestions were made. Mr. Lincoln
would no more think noW of entertaining
such policy than in 1862 he would have
consented to the deliberate starvation of
Confederate prisoners at Camp Chase. In
1862 many wise and staunch anti>slavery
men were uncertain as to what fate would
befall the colored race then still enslaved.
Many would have compromised willingly
on colonization, though when they began
to carry it out they would have realized
their mistake.
1t is sheer absurdity to talk about it. 1t
is a physical impossibility and no sane,
practical man ought to spend time in do
ing more than proving to obtuse minds
the folly of il.

THE WAYS OF THE WORLD.


The ways of the world are incompre-
hensible to common people and the adj
vance of years seems to throw darkness
over the subject rather than shed light.
Sentimentalists suppose that the sword of
justice is so equally poised as not to vary
hairs breadth either to the right or the
left, through any common or uncommon
influence. Such persons seem to labor I'M
der the delusion thata mans wealth stand
ing in society, respectable relations, etc, are
as nothing when he goes beyond the pale
of morality, and that he will be.held ac-
countable for the deeds done in the body,
the same as if he was some poor body"
But among the thinking class this
delusion does not prevail. If Jay Gould
commits the slight offense Of 'misapplying"
nine millions he is arrested and deprived
of his liberty forthespace three minutes.
His wealth is a palliation for the "misap-
plication" which weighs heavily in the
scales. A poor, obscure wretch comes
along, lays his hand on a ten dollar bill,
uses it to relieve his pressing wants, and
goes to the penitentiary for ten years His
offense is his poverty, and that being so,
there is no palliation, judges, prosecuting
attorneys, jurors, all look with more or
less allowance on mans crime, accord
ing to his social or pecuniary standing i'll
society, previous to the date upon which
the offense was committed. Our code of
justice seems to be rapidly arriving
at this point. When the poor, ignorant,
unfortunate wretch is arraigned for the
commission of a crime-for stealing petty
sum-we hear and see nothing of the
claws delay" but 'exact justice" is speed
lily meted out to him, and he is ushered
inside of the walls of a State penitentiary.
All sexes and conditions of life say amen
to the act. But some wealthy lord puts
the funds of corporation, amounting to
hundreds of thousands and millions, into
his misapplies" them, and he
goes unpublished. For ways that are
dark" modern justice is getting to be 'pe-
culiar."

FOR WHOM WILL THEY VOTE ?


The death of Horace Greedy raises
question as to the probable choice of the
Democratic Presidential Electors, who
meet next Wednesday, to cast their votes
for President and Vice-P President. The cri-
ginal purpose of the constitution was that
the electors should vote independently for
President. SO far as any law is concerned
the electors can yet vote for whom they
choose for chief magistrate. But custom
mas made the electoral vote mere record
OF the party voice that named it. The
Democratic electors recently chosen in the
Democratic States would have voted for
Mr. Greeley had he lived, mere
ly because the voters who choose them pre-
ferred him to Gen. Grant AS a matter
OF fact, however they are not bound legal
ly to vote for any particular man..
The death of Mr.. Greeley now presents
a novel question to the Democratic cleo
tors. For whom will they vote Each
Elector can cast his vote for whomsoever
he pleases. 1t is probable, that as the time
is too short for any consultation, their
vote will be for several different persons.
Some may vote for Gratz Brown. Some
may vote for Pendleton. Some may even
vote for Grant. And as the occasion is
now offered, to make his election unani-
nous, would it not be expedient and Just
to make it so?
Since writing the above we see by our
night dispatches that the Greeley paper at
Montgomery, Alabama, makes the sugges
ton we have made above, and proposes
that the electors chosen vote for Grant and
make his election unanimous. We should
not be surprised to see it done.
