NEW York. Dec S-The Heiuh says th
message OF President Grant IS q more credl
able document. both IN point OF reasOnln
and literary effort, than its predecessors fror
the same source.
The President makes ii clear enough that
in his view, theHthree principal causes wh'c
have led to the disastrous defeat OF his party
are. Prostrstion of business the condition {
the Southern States, and the unsuccessful eA
periment of reforming the civil service. Thi
is not directly stated but is necessarily i'm
,,lied in the texture of his views on those sub
.jects.
The sum OF the message, SO far as it ha
marty bearing, is the commitment OF the Pres
ident to the restoration of sound currency, al
implied promise to treat the South with leni
ency and justice, and abandon civil servic
reform, unless Congress supports it by legis
lation. This is the programme of Presiden
Grant for reinstating the Republican party
The president has got the Spanish question
into such state that it can be famed into 8
fame whenever he thinks it expedient
He relies on the country to support him il
war in which the abolition Of slavery il
Cuba and the breaking Of the yoke Of colonia
servitude will be the leading ideas, but Gen
Grant makes stupendous mistake if he
thinks he can play this desperate game viii
success. If he has pigeon-holed our Just com.
plant against Spain with such purpose, he
will have cause to regret the day when he
meditated such trick
The financial recommendations of the mes
sage are sound in principle, but defective II
details.
The Tines considers the Presidents views
on finances have undergone 10 change and his
proposition to repeal legal tender clause is
sound.
The President in stating he will sustain Kel
logg, does not say what he will do about
Packard or Casey, which lisa pity. The Times
thinks the Presidents reference to Southern
matters is plain advice. given in kindness and
trankness. Says that journal:
eve are sorry that he announces his in
tention OF abandoning civil service reform,
unless Congress distinctly supports it by legis-
iation. It was an attempt that promised much
and might have been made TO yield great
fruit. With his recomme nilations as to spe-
Gle payment and free banking, we are in en-
tire sympathy"
The Tribune considers it the best message
of the President. probably because written
under the Christening Oh the late elections It
condemns his position toward Louisiana, but
commends, mainly, nearly all the rest OF the
message.
The lSui. says the Presidents message is
reasonable and sound, theoretically, on hard
money and a return to specie payments.
But the Presidents arguments are not as
urgent as his theories are sound, while some
of his plans for retiring our paper money and
revivins gold and silver, as circulating medium,
will provoke severe criticism, not only of in
tiaticnists, but of hard money men as well.
With the exception Of his recommendation of
free banking, the views he now expresses con-
corning currency, are but a reiteration Of his
veto OF the green-back bill OF last session
The World says President Grant and Sec
rotary Bristow are less in doubt than the Re-
publican press and politicians as to the signiti-
canoe OF the overthrow OF their party in the
late elections. They have reached a clear
opinion by what MEANS if by any means, the
political revolution can be stopped midway,
and the Democratic party hindered from TAX
ing possession OF every department Of the
in the elections Of 1876: imme-
date steps toward specie payments, not a
promise, the execution of which is perpet-
ually postponed, and a reform Of the tariff. to
the end OF obtaining larger revenue by lower
duties on fewer articles.
This, their concurrent advice, exhibits the
Presidents and the Secretary's appreciation at
last OF the great evils from which the country
is suffering, and their admission that these
evils are OF legislative origin and admit Of
legislative remedy. Add 70 these the exorbi-
ances and usurpaticns Of power on the part
If the Federal Government, and Gen. Grant

ense of what is indefensible and to Illustrate |
