THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Associated Press furnishes q syn
op,,s Of the Presidents Message and We
gather as follows therefrom: The mes
s,ce is much longer than any previous
document from President Grant. The
recommendations are few but these are
81 great Importance. 1t is donbted II
specie Payments can be resumed before
ls.5 Congress is urged to fix the time
and adopt the means of bringing on this
result. The repeal of the Legal Tender
Act is suggested so far as the same re-
lates to contracts The revenue. he
thinks, should be in excess Of tas ex-
psEditures: and 10 this end greater econ
or,v is needed and q revision Of the
revenue laws. The President favors
free banking. The people of the coun-
try should be allowed TO judge of their
own wants. No recommendation Is
made regarding internal improvements.
This is a question left entirely to Con-
cress. OF course this has allusion to
tie transportation question. The Ar
kansas Question is left entirely to Con-
eress. Having said with reference to
Louisiana that 1T will be NY duty, as
far as i; may be necessary for me to act.
to adhere TO that government heretofore
recognized by NE, tue President con-
iinues as follows:
/ am extremely anxious TO avoid any
appearance of undue interference IN
State affairs, and If Congress differs
from me rs to what ought to be done, L
respectfully urge its immaculate decision
to that effect, otherwise L shall feel
obliged as far as l can by the exercise OF
legitimate authority. to put an end to
TIE unhappy controversy which dlstulbs
the peace and prostrates the business OF
Louisiana, by the recognition and sup
port Of that Government which IS recog-
nized and upheld by the Courts Of the
State.
This means, Of course, that he will
sustain the Knllog. government unless
Congress differs from him. The Civil
Service Reform is commended as bene-
fetal in its effects. The Indian Peace
Policy has a warm advocate in the Pres.
ident. The reports of the various cabi-
net ministers are LEI; to speak for them
selves. Congressional legislation hav-
ing for its object the arrest of The impOr-
t..tion of Chinese prostitutes and Coolies
is urged The Utah Question is not
discussed. 1t is like to come in for a
special message. We are at peace with
all the world. tho our difficulties with
Spain, growing out of the Firginius
matter. and the Venezuela claims remain
unsettled. The President shows de-
cided leaning toward the Patriot Cause
in Caba. We quote as follows from the
report in yesterdays I.itiep:Heent: He
calls attention to the fact that SPAR,
after lapse OF six years, daring which
time every possible effort was made tc
crush the Instruction, has failei. He
assumes that the deplorabie state Of
affairs inaugurated with the insUrrec.
ton, and which has continued to grow
worse and worse every year, canno, con-
time much longer without it becoming
necessary for other nations TO take some
action for the establishment Of "a bette
condition Of affairs in Cuba. AS mat
tiers now stand, the United States j:

people Of the United States are the chic
consumers OF the produce OF the islant
OF Cuba. We purchase at least eight.
per cent of their exports, but the profit;
go toward maintaining the most crue
and bloody warfare on record"
