River and HarbOr Bill.

The President has sent the following
message, addressed to the House of
Representatives
In affixing my signature to the River and
Harbor Appropriation Bill, No. 1922, deem
it my duty to announce to the House of
Representatives my objection to some fea-
lures Of the bill and the reason why l sign
it. If it was obligatory upon the Executive
to expend all the money appropriated by
Congress- l should return the River and
Harbor Bill with my objections, notwith-
standing the great inconvenience to the
public interests resulting therefrom and
loss of expenditures from previous Con-
crosses upon incompleted works. Without
enumerating, many appropriations are made
for work OF purely private or local in
terest, in no sense National, and can not
give my sanction to these, and will take care
that during my term of Office no public
money shall be expended upon them. There
is very great necessity for economy of ex.
penditurcs at this time, growing out of the
loss of revenue likely to arise from def
cheney of appropriations to insure a thorough
collection of the same. The reduction of
revenue districts, the diminution of special
agents, and a total abolition of Supervisors
may result in great falling off of the reve.
nues. 1t may be a question to consider
whether any expenditure can be well author
lied under the River and Harbor Appro-
priation further than to protectwork already
done and paid for. Under no circumstanc es
will l allow expenditures not clearly Ma

ter to Gen. Sherman:
CHICAGO, Aug. 8.
To Gen. W. T. Sherman, Washington:
have not yet been able to reinforce the
garrison at Red Cloud, at Spotted Tail, or
at Standing Rock, to be strong enough to
count the Indians, or to arrest and disarm
those coming in. l beg of you to see the
Military Committee of the House and urge
on it the necessity of increasing the cavalry
regiments to one hundred to each company.
General Crooks total strength is IVA men |;
Terry's, 1873 men, and to give this force to
them l have stripped every post from the
line of Manitoba to Texas. We want more
mounted men. We have not exceeded the
law in enlisting Indian scouts; in fact, have
not as many as the law allows US. The
whole number of this division is only ia.
The Indians with General Crook are not en-
listed, or even paid. They are not worth
paying. They are with him only to crafty
their desire for fight, and their thirst for
revenge on the Sioux.

IT is said that infdelity and atheism
are rapidly spreading among all classes
in Italy. AT late trial in Rome, says
the Free Church Record, the judges were
greatly embarrassed by illnesses refusing
to be sworn on the gospels, because they
were free thinkers. To meet the difficulty
thus raised, the Prime Minister has in

The Money Muss. =

The State Grange Of Indiana, recently
in session at Indianapolis, passed the fol
lowing resolutions
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
Grange, Congress should Immediately re-
peal the law fixing the day Of specie re-
sumption and ut the same time pass an
act making the greenback a true legal
tender, receivable for duties on imports
and interchangeable at pleasure in sums
of one hundred dollars with government
bonds, bearing currency interest at not
over 800 per cent. per annum, thus in
creasing the value Of the greenback, aud
bringing about an honest, practical re-
sumption.
Resolved, That the national bank act,
giving to the creditors Of the nation, be-
sides the interest on their bonds, to which
they are justly entitled the additional
privileges Of the issue Of the paper money
equal to nine tenths of the bonds held by
them, is a waste of the means Of the peo-
pie, and should be repealed; and, as We
are one nation, we should have but one
money, and that issued directly from the
treasury, without the Intervention Of the
national banks.

THE TIME FOR SAVING.

Make hay while the sun shines, is an
old adsge and certainly there is no clAss to
whom this advice is more applicable than the
working people. They Of all others, are the
most deeply interested in making preparations
for = rainy day-in providing in the hour Of
prosperity for the day Of Adversity. Panics
come and 20 business men and capitalists
even, when losing money, can fall back on
their reserves the workingmau, who too Of
ten lives from hand to mouth has no such
luxury to rely on. The only friend he can
depend upon in the hour of adversely is

city who have reason to bless the day when
the first deposit OF dollar was made per

they were instilled with a new ambition-the
dollar was soon supplemented with another

end day arrived, became a source Of rev
enue-and eventuated in what should be the
ambition Of every citizen--the possession Of
home.
But it is all-importaIt to the depositor t.
know that his surplus earnings are placed IN
a reliable institution, where he has positive
assurance that they will be judiciously in
vested, rehgiously guarded, and forthcoming
