GLAD TIDNas FOR THE SLAVES OF
KING .AIcoHoI.-How many a manly
form is palsied; how many mobile mind
destroyed; how many priceless soul
lost through the curse of strong drink
TO the despairing victims of the Satanic
tyrant, Alcohol, whose shattered nerves,
and trembling limbs, and racking head
aches, seem to find no relief except in
the renewed use of the fatal poison
which brings them every day nearer
10 their miserable end, we announce
glad tidings of great joy! DIR. WALK
ER's VINEGAR BrrTERs contain not a
single drop of Alcohol in any form, but
are sovereign remedy for the ills of
drunkenness. They restore tone and
strength to the system, and entirely
eradicate the pernicious appetite for
liquor. Try q few bottles of VINEGAR
Buffers, and you will never crave strong
spirits again, but find your health re-
paired, your mind restored, and be once
more a man in the best sense. Health is
cheap when VINEGAR Buffers are 81 a

Our thanks are due to the kind friends who

gentlemen have sent us donations Of money, for
the julicious expenditure of which We have only
TO refer them 30 tie names o. the ladies coap9a-
ing our Executive Cun'nittce. We wee par
ticularly gratifcd Il: u handsome donation sent
TO us through the following young ladies: Miss
Fannie Ycaton Miss Elite johnson, Miss Alice
Reading, Miss Anna Gregory and Miss Mamie
Lloyd. The gift, we understand, Is a portion OF
the proceeds OF the Children's Fair, held in this
city last May. We regard it us most creditab!e
expression Of sentiment from those who .ook
Part in the fair, emitting US to hope that these
young ladies grow to womanLGod they will
learn to adorn themselves abundartiy with the
good works declared by Scripture to BE- 80
becoming to Ill true women, so tina. they may
be ready in after years to take ur in this COM
munty the work among the poor, Tor which the

The Press on sase Message.

NEW York, Jan. l4.--The Herald says ::
Graut's message is quite different document
from the one orgioally prepared, which would
have led to the Immediate resignation OF few
members of the Cabinet to whom the country
comedies the title OF statesmen. We are glad
that President Grant has been constrained to
reconstruct the message, abandon bis first po-
sitiuns, aud exchange his tone OF Difference Ter
one of apology 1t is a very different message
from the one which the public expected, III
view of the strong endorsement sent to Sher
dan by the Secretary Of War. Instead Of de-
Tending and juStitying bis proceedings, the
President makes an elaborate apology wherein
he shifts the blame, SO far as blame can be lm-
puted, on Gov. Kellogg. This is a different
message from the one first prepared, and
which the Intelligent observer in Washington
and elsewhere believed would have been sent
to Congress if TWO or three leading members
of the Cabinet had not protested and support
ed their protest by determination to resign
ii their views were overruled. 1t is clear that
President Graut has retrcated from the posi-
ton he assumed when he sanctioned Secretary
Belknap's dispatch, and the country is to be
congral ulated on his adoption OF more defensi-
bic opinions. Whether the change be due to
the protests Of certain members OF his Cabinet
or the widespread expressions of public indig-
nation, it is fortunate for the President that
be has recousldcrcd his first determination and
been induced to change his mistaken policy.
1t is but simple justice to the President to con-
cede the truth OF the statement that he has re-
peatedly asked Congress to direct his action in
this Louisiana case aud relieve him of the re-
sponsbllity. We hope Congress will comply
with CRAFTS perfectly reasonable request, aud
that it take such action as to leave his duties
perfectly clear in dealing with the affairs of
Louisiana,
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1875-01-14

The Times says: The message Is very
moderate, strong aud sensible document, and
we believe that it will make favorable lm-
preston on the country. The President FULLY
merits the charges made against him by the
Democrats The error Of military Intervention
in the State-house was not his, nor was 1t COM
United under his Instructions. 1t was the or
ror of military commander, placed In posi-
ton of great uncertainty Certainly 10 the
light of facts as stated by the President, and
as now we'll established, there is no necessity
for the Republicans TO cast themselves 10 the
arms of the D. mocras in despair Of securing
jast policy from their own party. WHAT w
all have seen to deplore i'll the events OF the
4th Of January seems to be equally regretted
by the President. The safeguards against lis
recurrence lie iu the hands OF the N-puuIcan
majority in Congress. They can cow, if they
will, define the duties Of the President aud re
quire HIM 10 see that the utmost powers OF the
State government are cxcrtcd to malntalu It
self before caug for Federal intervention,
The Tribune says Ui the uQSaart: a. MS
tory of Louisiana politics Tor TWO years past, 1t
is curiousIy iuexact as i defence OF the Kellogg
government. 1t is, though labored and heavy,
not without merit, being adroltiy drawn as ali
answer to the call Of the S-nate Tor !nlorma-
ton. Ii conveys nothlr- that was not before
shown, aud, as statement OF facts. 1t Is
failure. It's most c0nsp .rous feature is lis
abandonment Of the position taken by the
President upon the receipt Of the first otel!l-
gencc of the invasion Of the Louisiana L2gisa-
ure, aud from which it wa SAID che would
nut back dcWn." The message throughout Is
partisan, ore sided document, AMI very
weak dci1uce Of wrors aud illegal ttai!sac
ton.
The World severely reviews the message,
calling ii IL quilted natcn WurE.
The Sun characterZ $ the message a: i:sie
and impCteDt.
BosroS, Jan. II. The Pre>i4cnI's mcs-
sage On Louisiana is eagerly rcad here.
The Advertiser says the message has aided
little or nothing TO our knowledge, aud II has
not justified what has been done. So lar as II
is an apology, il comes rather late; 81 Tar as 1t
susiaius the recent acts al NV Orleans, we
think ii is weak.
The Journal considers the message in 4 Ia,
vorable light, and cowmends It's candor aud
evident sincerity of purpose. The lost COP,
siiers it without excepted The weakest, and
yet most alarming document ever Issued tr1m
the Executive office. Although. doubtless
modified by the cxigcrcie5 nt tne threatened
cabiuct revolt, its vrulcut parti.aDship, weak
aud cYaslve, and clamors u pcrsoual response
billty aud Its astounding assuupilou regard
ing the scope Of military pnwtFS, gives
it place by itself among State papers. The
