The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1875-12-13

and the only objections thereto were lts IN
tolersble length and its omissions. 1t is
true that the whole press does not assent to
his propositions especially In reference to
the school question, but that was to be ex-
pected ; aud few Of the more partisan OF
the democratic journals arraign the cor
rectness of his grammar and the purity of
his English, but this is mere carping-the
general verdict of the country being that
the document is, in most respects, an ex-
cellcnt one. Nt aH
The president, however, is getting rest
i've under the commentators he is receiv-
ing on all hands. He cannot let well
enough alone. He is not accustomed to
receiving such hearty Communications from
the intelligent and reputable portion Of the
country, and hc don't propose to deserve it
long. He has commenced to supply the
omissions, and promises to make them all
up before great while. One of the omis-
sions, to which portion of the press has
called attention was in reference to the
Indian rings but this is not to be wonder
ed at--for did he not part with Delano and
Smith with regret, and certify to their hon.
esty, integrity and efficiency
Another omission, which was considered
remarkable, by friend and foe alike, was al
fusion to the western whisky frauds. Here
was one of the most wide spread conspira-
cies against the revenue in the history of
| the governments the treasury had been de-
| frauded with IMMUNITY year after year Of
| ficials had been corrupted with case, and
had shared the plumber; the conspirators
and robbers had entrenched themselves
with political power and purchased i'm
munity with the fruits of their crime in
dividuals holding positions of trust near the
person of the president had been implicated
| in the frauds and indicted for their compli-
city herewith his Intimate personal
friends had been convicted and imprisoned
for participating therein the conspiracy
had been exposed, many of the conspira-
tors punished, and the ring rendered harm
less and broken up by the active efforts of
the secretary of the Treasury, and the presi-
| dent himself had said "let no guilty man
escape; !" yet the message was silent on
| the subject. The omission is now sup
piled, the reason for silence is obvious. 1t
| was furnished, Friday, in the order dis
| pensing with the further services of ex-
Senator Henderson, special counsel for the
prosecution of the st. Louis whisky ring.
We know not that we ought to be surprised
| it was in character with the retention of
Babcock as his private secretary, and the
ordering of court of inquiry to judge of
his case while he was under indictment and
subject TO trial by the civil courts.
There was, also, significant silence in
reference to the south. He neither con-
graduated the country that, in this cen.en-
NAL season, we witnessed restoration of
harmonious and friendly relations between
the different sections of the country and a
reign of law and order in the south nor
groaned over real OF fancied outrages com
mitted by white leguers and kuklux on the
poor defenceless negro, and bewailed the
|
murdered, and plundered, for no other rea-
son than that they were republicans. The
omission was remarkable, but, if Washing
ton advices, from administration sources
, too, are to be relied upon, he will speedily
supply it. A special telegram, on the au
thority OF the friends Of the president,
says that, carly in The session, he will
send in a message on southern affairs, il
(which the bloody shirt will be waved il
9 the old way; the object being 10 con
a cliate the carpet bag element which, /
is supposed, will hold the balance of power
- if not be the controlling element, in Thu
neyN. national nominating convention.
AraS. The message failed to explain
the cause M the recent extraordinary &C
tivlty IN the heXy department, and we wer'
told that our fSNsign affairs were in al
altogether lovely cS>paltion' but, at thu
same time, we were promisee with future
message relative to Cuba. Afd now w
are told that this message will be fofthcom
ing Immediately after the holidays. Hnt
will be so full of ''blood and thunder" tn q
the naval furry will be understood, CubaI
bonds will appreciate, and the coun
try will be prepared for war. Altogethe
the remarkable omissions are fast beinl
supplied, and in a way little creditable t
the president.
