THE vICKsBURG TROUBLES

From Knoxville Daily Chronicle, Dec. ~.

exceedingly doubtful.
We sincerely regret such occur

the only way to put stop to them is
for good men of every party To join

The worlds Opinion.

The World says the President and
Sec. Bristow are less in doubt than
the Republican press and politicians
as To the significance of the overthrow
OF their party in the late elections
They have reached clear opinion by
what means, If by any means, the po-
lltical revolution can be stopped mid
way, and the Democratic party hin
dered from taking possession of every
department of the Governmen in the

dltes the Presidents and the Secreta-
rvs appreciation, at least of the great
evils from which the country is suffer
ing. and their ad 'iSsion that these
evils are OF legislative origin and adj
NIT OF legislative remedy. Add to
these the eXOrbitancies aud usurpa>
tons Of power on the part of the Fed
eral Government, and General Grant
and Secretary Bristow will have dis.
covered precisely the vulnerable points
IN the Republican policy upon which
the Democratic assault has been con-
centrated and irresistible. They ad-
wise Congress to abandon the defense
of what is indefensible, and to frus-
tTate further Democratic victories by
themselves now doing what the de-
spairing people have elected the next
Democratic Congress to do.

The raul,.Ander OF the sua.

The SIN says the Presidents message
Is reasonable and sound, theoretically,
on hard money and a return to specie
pay ments, but the Presidents argu-
ments are not a. urgent as his theories
are sound, while some of his plans for
retiring our paper money and reviving
gold and silver as a circulating medium
will provoke the severe criticism not
only of infiationists but of hard money
men as well. With the exception of
his recommendation for free banking,
the views he now expresses concerning
the currency are but a reiteration of
his veto of the greenback bill of last
session.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON
THE MESSAGE.
The Papers Concur in Saying that
1t is the Best He Has Written.

The Herald says the message OF the
President IL a more creditable docu-
ment, both In point Of meaning and
literary execution than its predecessor
from the same source. The President
makes 1t clear enough, that In his view
the principal causes which have led TO
the disastrous defeat Of his party are
the prostration Of business, and the
condition of the Southern states and
the unsuccessful experiment of REFORM
ing the Civil Service. This is not di>
rectly stated, but Is necessarily implied
in,the texture of his views on those sub
Jects. The sum of the message, so far
aS 1t has party bearing is committed
OF the President to the restoration of
a sound currency, and an implied
promise to treat the South with more
lenlly and Justice, and abandon the
civil service reform, unless Congress
supports 1t by legislation. This is the
programme of President Grant for
reinstating the Republican party.
] he President has goo the Spanish
question into such state that it can
be famed into flame when yer he
thinks it exFedient He relies on the
country To support him in a war in
which the abolition of slavery in Gu
ba aud breaking the yoke of Colonial
servi'ude, will be the leading ideas.
But General Grant makes a stipend
Gus mistake if he thinks he can play
this desperate game with success. II
he has pigeon hoied our last complaint
against Spain, with such a purpose,
he will have cause to regret the day
when he meditated such trick. The
financial recommendation of the mes
sage are sound in principle, but defec>
tive in details.

THE Nashville papers, as a matter Of
course, comment nj some length on
the Presidents message. Here is a
specimen. The Banner says:
The third feature in the message is
the effort our Caesar makes to evade
the question Of civil rights. In this
he is ludicrOusly evasiye, and one
would almost suspect that the TRADE
against The South is intended as an offs
ret for the triiiing attention he bestows
upon the sum orall villainies."
On the same point the Union and
American says:

CrIticIsed by the Times.

The Times considers the Presidents
views on finances to have undergone
no change and his proposition to repeal
the legal tender clause is sound
The President in stating that he will
still sustain Kellogg, does not cay
what he will do about Packard and
Casey, which is pity.
The Times thinks the Presidents
reference to Southern matters is plain
advice given in kindness aud frank
ness. We are sorry that he announces
his intention of abandoning civil SER
vice reform unless Congress distinctly
supports it by legislation. 1t was an
attempt that promised much aud might
have been made to yield great bene
tit. With his recommendations as to
specie paymentand free banking, we
are in entire sympathy.
