senator Lamar ON the Message.
In TrihI1na Snncfal

Senator Lamar thinks there is one thio spot
in the financial portion Of the message. heier-
ring to the remark that the bonds issued prior
to 1879 were issued at time when the gold dol
lar was the only coin in circulation, or contem-
plated by either the government or the holder
OF the bonds as they claim in which they are to
to have omitted it. The truth is. he says that
before 1873 everybody knew that silver dollars
were legally part of the coinage OF the United &c
States in which bonds might De paid ana that
ton as should enable it to pay its bonds IN silver
if it found it profitable to do so. He thinks 1t
much wiser for the. opponents OF silver remone-
tization to rest on the argument that by sustain
ing the public credit the country will gain more
pecuniarily than it could possibly gain by avail J.
| ing itself Of the right to pay it's obligations In
silver.
Senator Lamar and other conservative South
| ern men say that the success of the Presidents
pacitication policy will have a very marked eff
| feet upon the sentiment of the South on hnan-
| cial questions. They say they have nc. sympa,
| thy with the wild ideas of the infationists and
silver men and that if there is any principle OF
Democracy that was ever settled II IS that marc ar
money and hard money only. should be the
basis of the currency ofthe country. AT the same
| time their constituents are almost unanimously
In favor of the repeal of the resumption act and
the RECOMMENDATION of silver: and it will be dill
| ficut to present these questions in such way as
| to change this sentiment until full confidenct
between. the sections IL, restored, Ihey say
the people of the South and their represents

This ia the all absorbing subject that is exer-
nising the minds of the mercantile portion of
The American people at this time. According to
the latest advices from Washington, the sub
committee of ways and means. charged with the
revision of the tariff, will hold meetings during
portion Of the Christmas recess, In hopes OF
being able to report their Dill shortly after the
re-assembling of Congress in January. cor
4 respondent Of the st. Louis Republican tele-
graphs to that paper as follows on this subject
member of the subcommittee said to-day
that there was no authority for the statements
That Che committee had decided to make a large
reduction in duties on leading articles OF i'm
mort: that they had decided to change tue du-
ties from ad valorem to specific. The principal
object in view by the committee Is to simplify
the schedules Of articles upon which len, dates art
enue shall be removed from the list. In view
Of the financial operations. OF the government 6
liberal revenue is demanded, and 1t Is not de
signed that the reductions shall materially at
feet the receipts from this source.
In this connection. we remark that we are
glad to see that the Western press, with re-
markable unanimity are in favor of a uniform
duty on imported sugars. This s all that W.
OF Louisiana ask, as far as this duty is con
cerned. But we hope that II change is made

That we do not put this in too strong q light
we refer our readers to the fact that within tn
last ten days the cargoes of two vessels-one a
New York and the other ct Baltimore-hav

Wyoming has attained Ereeminqpcea -
n cattle shipping country N vast
grazing grounds found along the line Of
the Union Pacific within the southern
half of our Territory furnish an inviting
field for stock drovers both from the
south and north, Montana and Texas
cattle men alike driving here for the
purpose Of shipment. During the past
two months the railroad company has
scarcely been able to meet the demands
for cars in which to ship the cattle Of
fered along its line in Wyoming. The
points at which most Of the stock ship
ped from this Territory are loaded are
Cheyenne and Pine Bluffs. At Hamp-
ton, Uinta county, Judge Carter has
erected a large and convenient stock
yard, from whence large numbers OF
cattle are almost daily shipped east.
Most of the cattle shipped from
Hampton within the past month have
been driven down from Montana,
though large herds of native Wyoming
cattle are also loaded there, Judge
Carter having recently shipped 10Oe
head and has now 500 head or hand,
waiting for cars. The Union Pacific
company has just contracted for the
construction of 800 large stock cars, In
