WHAT PRESIDENT GRANT DID SAY.

The President, in his Message to Congress, de-.
hvered on Monday, the 18th inst, made use or the
following words In referring to the national rela-
tfons with Spain :-"The deplorable strife in Cub
continues without any marked change In the rela-
tive advantages OF the con tending forces. The
tnsurrectt0n continues but Spain has gained no
superiority. Six years OF strife give the insur-
rection Significance which cannot be denied. Its
duration and the tenacity OF its adherence, TO-
gether with the absence OF manifested power or
suppression on the part OF Spain, cannot be con.
troverted. and may make some positive steps on
slty.
OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.

The following is q summary OF President Grants
Message read In Congress to-day
',lsegarding foreign relations, the President
states that they are friendly and nowhere dis

pending with Venezuela, who has not paid the
awards MADE by the Convention OF 1866, and the
question still unsettled with Spain in regard
TO the VtrRnlus and other grlev0uS proceed
5nRs OF that Power in connection with Cuba.
The magnitude of these offences mas not been
reduced since my previous Message to Congress.
This unsettled condition Of affairs cannot continue.
1t will become necessary Tor Otner nations, In
conjunction with our own, to terminate the in
surrectt0n which has so long prevailed, and which
SPAN has unsuccessfully attempted to suppress.
During its continuance the commerce Of all cOun-
tries, especially tnat OF the United States SUFFERS
and the 1ags OF the United States and OF England

The President hoped the negotiations with Spain
had ended, but he has been disappointed. Little
or nothing is said about the indemnity but the
President announces that he leaves the matter TO
form the subject OF special message TO Congress.

LONDON, Dec. %, 1874.
The Times editorial ays:-''We have the
unpleasant duty to inform our readers of our
being deceived respecting President Grants
Message to Congress. Out aim is to trust as
Little as possible to sources of information
outside of our own control, yet we thought it
inconsistent with our duty to withhold from
our readers knowledge which seemed properly
authenticated. But it now appears that the
agent of Baron Reuter- deceived him, and,
through him, all Europe. Instead of the
bellicose language regarding Cuba attributed
to the President the New York papers just
received show gross misrepresentation,
which, unless decisive steps are taken to
Justify in the future o confidence which has
been misplaced, will make it impossible to
put trust in the intelligence which may be
received hereafter from the same quarter.
Not one word of our report of the 7th inst.
was sent to Congress. The text of the Presi-
dents Message, now reproduced in our col
umns, shows the complete substitution of
fabricated statement for the real account"

SALINE CoUNTY.-From the Harris
burg Chronicle we clip the following
items
The chinch bugs in this county, in
certain localities, are doing great dam
age to the growing corn. We learn of
several farmers who have quit blowing
and given up their crops as total
loss.
Gen. Green Il. Raum issues the
following
There will be a convention of the
Sabbath schools of Saline county, H.
iuols, on Thursday and Friday, July
10Th aud 18th, at Harrisburg.
All the Sabbath schools and Sab
bath school workers of Saline aud ad.
journing counties are cordially invited
TO attend.
A picnic dinner will be served on
each day, and all citizens of Saline
county attending the convention, are
respectfully requested TO bring their
baskets we'll stored, so that all VS.
iting us from distance, or ad-
joining counties, can be beautifully
served,
Those who pretend to know, say
that wherever qusils are plenty, the
chinch bugs are doing but little dam
age, and in localities where they have
been trapped anu destroyed the bugs
are making a clean sweep of the corn
crop. This being fact, it would be
better to give the birds a chance in the
future.
