GRANTS Message.

CnicAsO. December slh.--A washinglOn special
says The country not less than the House Is taken
by surprise At the moderation Of the Presidents
Message in relation 10 the Cuban question. Il
known beyond dcabt that General Grant had been
slowly maturing the parpOse Of bringing the Spanish
eampaign In Cuba to erisis. His sympathies were
openly expressed and some extent assurance
was given 10 the riends Of CabAn Independence that
an energetic protest should b addressed preparatory
to formal recognition Of belligerency the part Of
the rebels. Gen. Grant never aPPrrhended war as
the result Of this recognition. IL Is alleged henee
that on beginning the message be had clearly made
up his mind 10 lay the plainly before the country
avowing his symPsthies with the insurgents A sin-
gslar piece Of Inside history has been made known
at the eleventh hour. The Fish policy. as il may be
called, prevailed and that portion Of the message
which bad already been written in accordance with
the Presidents strong inclination. beginning at the
seventh paragraph OF that section pertaining 20 ouE
relations with Cuba was ohhteraed and the present
utteranees substituted. The Republicans arc nAtl-
rally unwilling to discuss the matter. but it is under
stood by those familiar with the political changes
ing within the party tina; the Interests of the Re
publican future demand end OF entangling out
side alliances, and that any policy Involving
rumors o. war tends to distract the country aud shake
confidence 10 the party ia power. II Is known that
the changes referred to in the message wese only
brought about amer the election Of Kerr which NOT
only alarmed the ring and subsidy people, but warned
the Republican leaders that the Democratic party IS
for the time being least. resolved upon policy Of
wisdom and conservatism. Had Randall been elected
there eau be no doubt from the evidences present,
that General Grant would not have been urged by
this virtual caucus Of Republican leaders to fOrego
his intentions Of CRsarian policy in settling the
Cuban trouble. While the Democrats arc chagrined
at the escape Of tho Administration from the dilemma
in which pronounced action would have placed them.
there is wrath beyond expression in the ranks Of those
eredulous believers in Cuban freedom who have in
vested in insurgcnt bunds and Havana corner lots.
Iais class Is BY n q 4 limited one. There IL
aud has been Tor the last four years Cuban Ring
which has possessed itself Of many of the important
papers of the country TO plead the Of dwin-
ding rebellion which calls itself the Cuban Govern
ment. Whatever General Grants interest in Cuban
freedom may be. beyond his sympathy with struggling
armies. it is probable that the motives which
urged him to the San Domingo acquisition not
slIOg ether Ignored in his venture.

President Grants Message.


We have not the space to devote to the re-
publication of this state document, and must
refer such Of our readers as wish to peruse it
in full, to home papers. 1t was delivered to
Congress on the eth of December, and nOtwith-
standing its great length, viii be read at least
by Americans everywhere. 1t opens with an
interesting review OF the progress of the ma
tion from the date of the Declaration of indie
pcndence covering the 100 years which have
developed Is feeble colonies, with population
Of 100000, into IS prosperous and powerful
States, and extensive Territories with a pop
ulation os 100000. The material progress
of the country during this period is sketehed
in clear and eolupendius style which holds
with steadiness the happy medium between
wearisome prolixity and the unsatisfactory
brevity which sometimes results from over
condensation.
The subject Of education which the Presi-
dent discusses, is new one for such doeu-
ment, and yet it may properly be introduced.
He deals with it directly and boldly, without
hesitation or any shade Of ambiguity, and
makes a Recommendation so original and fun
dameutal in its character that it cannot fail to
provoke discussion all over the country. We
think we do not go too far when we say that
this will be generally regarded as the most in
teresting and important part of the message,
and become the theme of earnest and excited
debate throughout every State in the Union
The Recommendation is that there should be an
amendment to the Constitution securing the
establishment and maintenance of the free
public school system. and prohibiting once and
forever, the introduction Of sectarian teaching
of any kind into those popular seminaries.
Next in interest and Importance is the rec
ommenda'ion that Church property shall no
longer be exempted from taxation. The Presi-
dent thinks that if this exemption is perpetua-
ted 50 it will lead to great trouble in our land
before the close Of the nineteenth century"
The statistics given in connection with this
subject are startling. 1t is stated that in 1850
the Church property which paid no tax of any
kind amounted to not less than SIS 900, OOs
that in 1850 this amount had doubled: and
that in 1875 it figured up at the enormous sum
Of 81 900, 100000 In view of these astound-
ing facts the President recommends the taxa
ton of Z" all property equally" exempting only
50 the last resting place of the dead"
A considerable part of the message is taken
mp with the serious questions involved with
Spain, Cuba and Mexico, which he discusses
calmly and plainly. On the whole the mes
sage is moderate in Its tone and will be well
received in Europe and America
The Hawaiian gazette., 1875-12-22
England. sue1 Purchase.

The purchase of a controlling interest in the
Suez Canal by the British Cabinet is a remark
able event. The main purpose was not to
draw the dividends, for the British Govern
ment is not engaged in the business of max
ing investments or speculations, and besides
no profit is expected as the shares bought are
subject to an adverse discrimination and will
not for many years be entitled to any of the
profits that may be paid. The London Times
says that the bargain was made " for political
reasons" so that if Turkey should collapse,
measures might be taken &c for the security of
that part of the domain of the Sultan with
which we are most nearly concerned" This
statement coming from such source must be
accepted abroad as an ayOwal authorized by
Disraeli, and will certainly cause great SEN
sation on the continent
No other power would control the Suez Ca
nal with more regard for the general interests
of commerce than Great Britain, and if a trans
fer were necessary, less objection would be
made to her than to any other; but the official
announcement that the English Cabinet is
ready to seize Egypt is indiscreet. If the
British Cabire have no thought beyond the
Suez Canal and a strip of forty of fifty miles
on each side-enough to secure it against in
reference from other powers-that limitation
should have been stated to prevent misunder-
standings. The language of the Times is
threat Of annkxing all Egypt, declaration
that the dissolution of the Turkish Empire may
be expected any day; an invitation to the
Christians in Servia, Bosnia, Bulgaria and Al
bania to rise in general insurrection; a sug-
gestion to Russia and Austria to take their
shares without delay. IF lively protests from
Courts and harsh criticisms at home do not
follow, we shall be disappOinted.-Aaa-

Hvhat chs Papers sny of IL.

LONDON, December &c A. N.-The Times
to-day has leading editorial on the Presi-
dents message. Referring to that portion
about Spain and Cuba. The Times says: "If
Spain cannot suppress the Cuban rebels-if
the island must be half ruined while she holds
it-and if she will not put an end to that in
stitutiun, which is the main source of the dis
turbance, It would be hard to expect the Unit
ed States to let the work of devastation pro-
coed unchecked, merely out of regard to the
nominal sovereignty of Spain. Spain is on
trial, and the limit of power to restore order
will be tue limit of her right"
New YORK, December s.-The Herald CON-
menting on the Presidents Message, says its
views in the main are sound on the Cuban
question, finance, on the question of cable
monopolies and on the Mexican question, but
on the religious and school questions it is wild,
Quixotic and utterly absurd. This attempt to
introduce religion as a controlling element in
our national politics is the most mischievous
and monstrous violation of fitness and propriety
ever perpetrated by President of the United
States. On the school question he anticipates
Speaker Blaine's proposed amendments to the
Constitution, and makes some very commend
able propositions, but the others are made to
make political capital.
The Tines approves the message, and con-
siders it sound on the school question, but
thinks the propositions made in that connec-
ton are not within the province of Congress-
ional legislation.
