WAsHINGToN, December 3.-At the
cabinet meeting to-day, the President
read the greater part of his message.
There remains but few finishing
touches to be added That part of the
message relating TO Cuba is, it is un-
derstood, little more pronounced
than heretofore, and received the APP
proval of all the members. The de-
tails cannot be obtained to night. The
President also devotes some space to
the naval preparations which have
been going on for some weeks, and
gives the reasons why that arm of the
service has been placed in an effective
condition.
1t cannot yet be ascertained whether
it will be sent to Congress on Monday
or Tuesday. This will depend on the
time consumed in the organization of
the House and the reception of notiti-
cation by the President of the fact.

ANOTHER LANGMAID TRAGEDY

WATERTowN, December 3,-In Rut-
land, six miles from this city, Tuesday
afternoon, Sarah Conkliu, aged four
teen years, while returning from school
through piece of woods was murder
ed. When the body was found, it was
supposed the girl had received a fall,
which caused her death: but yesterday
an officer from this city visited the
spot and found indications that the
girl had been murdered, and there is
strong evidence against q boy, aged
sixteen years, named Rutar, who lives
near the scene of tie murder. 1t is be-
lieved that he attempted worse crime
than murder, and failing in that killed
the girl with small hammer. He was
tracked to and from the spot, and a
hammer was found which fits the
indentstion in the girls forehead.
Rutar has been arrestsd.

From our Evening Edition Of Yesterday.
DON'T DO IT.

According to a special to the New Orleans
Times, from Washington, dated the I'D, the
President is at last awakening to a realization
Of his stupenduous folly in Louisiana, and is
trying to shift the responsibility for his acts
upon the shoulders Of the men who have
systematically deceived him.
If this be true, what a sorry figure our
Representatives would have cut making haste
10 condone the high crimes Of Grant and to
accept as boon those things which not only
belong to US, but which those bitter and i'm
placable Radicals and enemies Of ours declare
al,,stbe acc1rcied 10 rs.
We trust and believe that all danger OF our
Caucus considering seriously the Wheeler
compromise is over. That it should ever
have been entertained is amazing when we
consider that there has never been a period
Of time when we could not have extorted
better terms from Kellogg himself Why 70
to Washington to accept humiliating terms
when we could have obtained better terms
from the scheming ana trading usurper him
self
1t is also ass rted by parties in Kellogg
patched up will be indorsed by them and
that the Conservatives need not distress them
selves about the matter. Fancy the feelings
IF our members after having surrendered
to find themselves laughed at as
political verdants and blunderers.

In the Fourth District there are now OF

has scarce time to make anything but hur-

A SENSIBLE VIEW.
THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE Oh GAIT. FAD

Says the New York Tribune of the 18th:
When the country wanted lawyer ut the
Geneva Court of Arbitration it might prob
| ably have got cheaper one than Mr.. Evarts
| by advertising for him. 1t wants doctor
now for the mouths of the Mississippi The
! plan proposed by one Of the most noted and
| successful civil engineers of the country was
| secuted by the army engineers, but by the
| persistence of Capt EadS it has been forced
upon the attention OF a competent board, has
been approved, and seems sure Of success now
in some form or other.
Thereupon there is talk among those who
favor it Of the necessity of advertising for
competition in the execution of this plan in
order to avoid charges Of jobbery. On the
whole this seems to us a tolerably small piece
Of demagogism. This plan has been before
the country for some years, and has been
more or less discussed in every newspaper.
Does anybody suppose that more effective
advertisement can be given by the Secretary
Of War If anybody were ready and able to
do it for less, has he not had the opportunity
to step forward
Capt Eads original proposal was to do the
work for about one half less than the engineer
board estimated to be necessary He asks
for no money at all until he shall have ac-
comphshed his undertaking, and leaves part
even then i'll the hands of the government for
some years as a guarantee of the permanence
of the work. In all the time this matter has
been under discussion nobody has thought
of offering to do it for less, nobody has OBJ
iected to the price and even the opponents of
the plan among the army engineers admit
that it is about one-half lower than they them
selves thought needful.
Under these circumstances it seems to Us
that it would be rather more decent treatment
of Capt. Eads to reject his proposal altogether
than to accept it and then advertise for COM
petition. The chief danger, however, in the
matter is that such an advertisement in a case |
Of this moment, where so much depends on
the skill and known ability as an engineer Of |
the person undertaking 1t, would entail the
risk, known to every one who undertakes any |
large building operations, of finally giving the
work to nnskiltul or otherwise incompetent
persons.

large part Of the three millions Of United
States notes and bonds lost, stolen or dupli-
Gated and unaccounted for between 1861 and
1867 proves to have been ahoat when the
select committee of the House of Representa-
tlyes existed. 1t turns out that the fbrous
currency paper is easily initiated. The
Treasury statement that counterfeiting has
been impracticable since the adoption of
this paper is wholly erroneous. The Treas
ury tries to explain the existence Of $500
counterfeits on the tibrous paper of 1878 as
having been made by Tom Ballard, by tax
ing the color out Of one-dollar bills and
printing the five hundred dollar impression
on the genuine paper thus obtained but this
would make the paper shrink, and would thus
make the five hundred dollar counterfeits
shorter than the one dollar notes, when in
fact the five hundred dollar notes are longer
than the ones. The system under which So
0O0, 600 was over-issued is still in operation
It is believed that five hundred dollar coun-
terfeits can hardly have come from any source
but the Treasury. \ secret and strong in
tluence is believed to have been exerted
against specie payments, because resumption
would bring in a mass Of duplicate notes and
overssues for redemption, and thus disclose
somewhat the extent OF the evil
