THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Yesterday, December 7, was the FIRST
day of the second session of the forty
third Congress. The event Of the day
was the PRONUNCIATION of the Presidents
message. The whole country was await
inc this message with great interest to
see what the President would say in the
light of the recent Democratic victories.
Those who supposed that he would adopt
a more conservative policy or indicate
any kindness for the South Will be dis
appointed. He is in the hands Of the
most extreme Radicals and reflects their
views. The message is one Of great
length; so we give only the salient
points. He begins by abiding to the
prostration of business and industries,
and to the fact that labor and capital
have been abundant, and it seems to
him these elements Of prosperity should
be directed in the proper channels. he
refers to the necessity that existed for
creating national currency, but con-
tinues to urge a return to gold and
silver medium of exchange, and believes
there will be no permanent revival Of
business until this is done. He opposes
any further expansion of the present
currency but thinks sound currency
should not be reached by the total bank
ruptcy Of the credit and integrity o! the
nation and individuals. In word, the
President advocates return to specie
payments and a system Of free banking
A highly moral suggestion is made
against bringing Chinese emigrants to
this conntry-the men as slaves 10 few
leaders. the women for shameful par
noses. The references TO our relations
with foreign Governments are numerous
but unimportant. except perhaps as to
Cuba. II is significant fact that Spain
has gained no further superiority in o
strife OF six years, which may make some
positve steps on the part Of other pow
ers a matter Of self.necessi;y. Thl
President renews his suggestions II
reference to the necessity Of Legislation
10 settle questions Of citizenship that s.
often arise. The reports Of the Treas
urer and Secretary Of War receive con
siderable notice, and attention is o.
rscted 10 the report Of the Postmastei
General. He recites the state Of affair
in Louisiana from partisan standpoint

Four we'll mounted men rode up to the
Tishomingo Savings Bank. Two Of
them entered and locked the door and
two remained outside. They demanded
the safe keys, which President Taylor
refused. They then made an attack
upon him with knives and compelled
him to submit. They took over $4,000
in currency and as much more in watches
and diamonds. Mr.. Taylor was moi
badly hurt. A negro man was in the
bank making deposit at the time and
was not permitted to leave until the
robbers retired. They we're in the bank
about fifteen minutes. People who had
observed the bank closed supposed that
Taylor had gone to dinner. The bank
is in an out of the way place and not
much noticed by the public. The men
had been lurking about town and the
country for two weeks. The robbers
fred several shots as they departed and
rode at full speed in the direction OF the
Tennessee river. The Sheriff, with q
large posse. has gone in pursuit.

take pleasure in naming Professor
Steele, of LeMoyne, as an exception in
Memphis. He and several teachers I'M

hard to elevate our people.
When we ask for colored teachers they
say we cannot get those who can stand
the examination. Nearly two months
since colored lady from Pennsylvania
came here upon promise from Mr..
Pickett that if she passed the examina-
ton she might have a position in our
schools. After passing a satisfactory
examination she was unable to get the
position, and left here last week for
Shreveport, Louisiana. Although Bar
mum knew quite we'll that this colored
lady MRS. Loudenl was coming he goes
to work and appoints white lady. He
has been treating US with great injustice
for several years. We don't believe that
you would advocate such a man to be
set over white children, and, judging
from what you have said in the past, we
believe you are just enough to want to
give us the same advantages as the
whites. Respectfully,
