tary of State of the United States has
transmitted to every European government

The Presidents McssUHe.

Commencing with some general
statements as to the changes
wrought in the United States dur
ing 100 years, the education of the
masses is urged as of the first ne
cessity for the preservation of oul
institutions, which, he thinks, can
be best accomplished by constitu
tional amendment, making it the
duty of every State to establish and
maintain free schools adequate to
the education in tho rudimentary
branches Of all the children ,irrespec.
tive of race, color or sex, and for.
bidding the teaching of religious,
atheistic or pagan tenets for the
benefit of any religious sect. The
President sees great trouble liable
to occur before the close of the cen.
fury in the accumulation of vast
amounts of church property not liza
bic to taxation, and advises such
legislation as will put the burden of
taxation upon all property equally,
whether of churches or corporations,
with the exception of graveyards,
or, possibly, the church buildings.
Our relations continue on u friendly
footing with all foreign powers.
Chill has paid up a little bill which
she has owed for 40 years. Colum.
bia has submitted small matter in
dispute to arbitration, and reci-
procity treaty with the Sandwich
Islands has been concluded, and
only needs a legislative act of Con.
gress to give it force and effect.
Spain has paid the small matter of
$4,000 which she agreed to pay for
the relief of certain families whose
relatives were connected with the
Virginius affair, which will soon be
paid over to the proper parties. The
President reports the affairs of Gu
Da as being in the same condition
as at this time last year, but does
not think the circumstances would
justify any interference on the part
of the United States, either by re-
cognition of the independence of
insurgents, or the accord of them Of
belligerent rights. He stands ready,
however, at all times to use his
good Offices with the contending
parties for the restoration of peace.
The full text of some recent propos-
ais of Spain in regard to Cuban mat
ters, has not been received, but when
the document arrives it may furnish
him with occasion for another mes.
sage to Congress. The message
next alludes to the frequent border
troubles on the boundary line, be.
tween Texas rnd Mexico, and ex.
presses the hope that the expert
ment of small armed steamer on
the Rio Grande will prevent any flu
ture strife between the cattle drivers
of both countries. A treaty of nav.
igation and commerce has been com.
pleted with Belgium, and there is
to be a convention shortly with
Mexico to arrange some terms in re.
gard to matters of very slight inter.
Importance. The Alaba.
ma claims commission has made
good progress during the year, but
as it will not he possible for all the
claims to be fully passed upon by
the list OF January, when the time
expires for which it was legally con.
a short extension of the
time is recommended. A special
Bradford opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1874-1881, 1875-12-18

The CUBAN QUESTION. There is
the highest authority for stating that
the President does not contemplate
intervention in Cuba, and that he
coneidoro that M policy would be
more disastrous to the United States
than the annexation of that island.
1t is understood that the Presidents
plan of settling the Cuban question
is to induce Spain to consent to
make Cuba a semiindependent col
ony, as Canada is, and the Presi-
dent is believed to favor even the
consolidation of all the Spanish
West India Islands in Colonial
Confederation.

late storm and blow has not in the
least impeded the trains in the

several points on the road where the

structions in the way of drifts than
anything to be found here. The
strong current of wind that sucks
down through this mighty gorge
acts like funnel, and thus keeps
the track practically clear of snow.
From two to three feet of snow has
already fallen in this vicinity. BY

THE selection of the Hon. James
o. Broadhead as counsel on behalf
Of the Government in the st. Louis
whiskey cases, in place of Mr.. Hen
derson, does not indicate any desire
on the part of the Government to
secure a friendly voice in the pros
ecution of those suits. Mr.. Broad
head is an able lawyer, was a zeal.
Gus Union man during the war, and
was appointed Provost Marshal by
President Lincoln, but he went
. over to the Democracy with Frank
b lair in 1868, and it was to him that
the latter wrote his famous letter
on the reconstruction policy. Col.
Broadhead denounced the President
and his administration in strong
terms at the time of the Louisiana
interference, and certainly cannot
be suspected of any disposition to
shield any one connected with the
Government.
