for President Grants supplementary message
to Congress. The Vienna dispatch further

$176, 900 illegally collected as income tax from
the Illinois Central Railroad Company, is to be
repaid to the company itself, and not to the
alien stockholders. The latter Mr.. Pierrepont
says, may present their claims against the COM
pany through the courts.
It is said the President is fully alive to the
necessity of doing something to put al end to
the outlawed condition of affairs ON the Rio
Grande, and that he will at an early day send a
special message upon the subject to Congress.
Attorney-G General Pierrepont is of the opin-
ion that Congress has ample power to compel
the Pacific Railway corporations to pay the IN
terest on tne bonds loaned them by the United
| States, notwithstanding the adverse decision OF
the Supreme Court.
| It is given out from Washington that Presi-
dent Grant is strenuously opposed to the pro-

| A little breeze was caused at the Capital the
| other day by Secretary Bristow's summary re-
moval of the Second Comptroller Third Audi
tor and three leading clerks in the Treasury
Department. Carelessness and ineficiency
were the crimes for which they were bounced.
The Secretary of the Treasury declines to re-
] ceive checks and drafts in payment OF debts
due to the Government. This will prevent
the National Banks from paying their semi
annual dues in anything else than lawful
money.
| Senator Boutwell, is preparing speech which

does and the necessary coast defenses.

Political

The Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune telegraphs: "a number OF
Republicans are preparing to make vigorous
opposition to the proposition of the Democrats
to reduce the army. The political argument
used quietly among members will be that it is
device of the Democrats to deplete the army
while it is strongly Republican, and to fill it up
again if the Democrats carry the next election,
mainly from the South"

A Washington dispatch says g It is asserted
in prominent circles that if, as reported from
London, There is near advent Of European
intervention in Cuba our Government would
inform such powers as might combine for

offensive to the United States as it would inn
ply design of controlling affairs in localities
contiguous to this country, thereby injuriously
affecting our commercial and political interests,
and for this reason, apart from other consld-
erations, the United States should continue to
act in the spirit of the Monroe doctrine"

No more terse and eloquent arraign-
ment of Grantism has fallen from the
lips of any public speaker, than that
which was uttered by William Writ
Warren, before the Democratic State
Convention at Worcester, Mass, the
other day. A single extract will suffice
to show the quality of this scathing
and mastery production:
THE Administration which promised
up peace at home has given US any thing
but peace. For the bascst of purposes.
to perpetuate its political suprem-
acy, it has arrayed race against race at
the South. 1t hns done this by band
ing together through its emis.aries, the
people of one race for the purpose OF
controlling those Of the other race. II
has stimulated hatred and prejudice,
instead OF fostering good feeling and
harmony; promoted idleness and dis
coursged industry; exalted ignorance,
and ensIaved intelligence; ana would
fain have made the whole OF our Sontl-
ern territory a desert"
