THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents messages is, as the Baltimore
Sun says, very brief document. 1t deals only
with such matters as in the Presidents judg>
ment require immediate action at tho hands
of Congress, aud touches upon no topic which
is calculated to excite debate. Even with
reference to the mooted question of incrcas>
ing or decreasing the army the President re-
commends that its consideration should be de-
ferred until after tho needed deficiency bill
has been passed, and provision made for the
support of the army for the current year at
the maximum strength of %, 600 men. In
the event of q subsequent reduction of tho
army the excess of the appropriation could
not be expended, and if on the other hand
the army should be increased tho additional
appropriation required could be voted in due
time. 1t would be un ust to the troops now
in service, and whose pay is largely in ar
rcars, if payment to them should .bo delayed
while Congress is discussing the proper limit
for our future military establishment. All
this is we'll and pithily put, is also the
statement OF the cxigcncy which rendered
the extra session necessary, and which makes
prompt action on the part of Congress equal
ly imperative. ''Wc have an army in SER
vice authorized by law and cnttlld to be
paid, but no funds available for that purpose"
The President also suggests as deserving the
attention of Congress at the present session
the propriety of making timely and suitable
provision for the adequate representation of
the United States, its varied products and
industries, at tho Paris exhibition next year.
He recommends n rcappropratiou of the
small amount appropriated by previous
Congress, but subsequently covered into the
treasury, to dcfray the expenses of commits
sioncrs from this country to the International
Prison Congress to be held upon the invita-
tion of the Swedish Government at Stock
holm next year. These suggestions, with re-
Communications in favor Of an immediate APP
preparation for the restoration of the patent
Office and the passage of the naval deficiency
and Judiciary deficiency bills, comprise the
whole of the message. Should other SUBJ
jects be taken up by Congress it will there
fore BIO upon the initiation of that body. In
the Senate the question Of the disputed seats
from Louisiana and South Carolina will un>
doubtedly afford food for debate, and once
fairly launched into either business or debate,
the House may easily protract the extra ses~
sion until the beginning of the regular session,
when the President will send in Lis message
covering the reports of the various heads of
departments, which are required by law to
be submitted at that tino.

RECEPTION TO GOV. HAYES.

The citizens Of Columbus, Ohio, without dis
tinction of party, rendered farewell reception
to Hon. II. B. Hayes, on the eve of his depart
ure for Washington, at which there was much
Misunderstanding and speech-making. Gov. Hayes
spoke Is follows: Mr.. President, Ladies' and
Gentlemen: / shall make no attempt to de-
scribe what have felt during the progress of
this reception, nor what l feel now that il is
drawing to close. / wish in the simplest way,
and with the fewest words, to thank the citizens
of Columbus and the members Of the General
Assembly, the State officers, and the people of
Ohio who have taken part in it, for their very
great kindness to me and my family on this and
many other occasions. The city Of Columbus
and its people have very many and great claims
to our affection and gratitude. 1t is more than
forty years since / became acquainted
in boyhood with Columbus, and from
that day to this many Of my most
intimate friends have been among its
citizens. Many are gone. look in vain among
those we have met this evening for some who
were once numbered with my most familiar ac-
quaintances. A few are here whose acquaint-
ance | made during the first well-remembered
year Of the cholera, the year 1888. Among
these are the Chairman of your Executive Com
mittee. Mr. William Deshler, and / then saw for
the first time his older brothers, but very many
of my early friends of Columbus are gone.
Among those / knew, and remember well for
their friendlness to me as boy. and who are
no longer living, are such well-known citizens
of earlier days in this city as Joseph Ridgeway,
ST., Joseph Ridgeway. Jr., Samuel Medary,
Alfred Kelly, Gustavus Swan, DIR. J. G.
JONES' John Noble, NJ. j. Gilbert, and many
who were nearer my own age, such as Thomas
Sparrow Fitch, James Matthews, Albert b. But
ties, and DIR. Douglass Case, with whom was
on terms of intimate friendship. We are re-
minded by the absence of these friends of the
changes which we must expect in the years that
are before us. As for myself and my family,
we go, perhaps TO return in few days to oc
cupy our accustomed place in this community.
Possibly we go to other scenes and duties not to
meet you again as fellow-ctizens of Columbus.
In that event wish TO say, as Mr.. Lincoln said
on parting with his friends at Springfield six
teen years ago, that trust you will pray that
may have that divine assistance and guidance
without which cannot succeed, and with which
/ cannot fail.

CLOSING SCENE OF THE ELEC
TORAL COUNT.

The Senate and House, being in joint con-
vention, ( 4;03 o'clock on the morning of Fri
day, March 2 the action of the respective
houses on the Wisconsin question was read,
and the ten votes of Wisconsin were an
nounced for Hayes and Wheeler.
The presiding officer said This concludes
the count of the thirty-eight States of the
Union. The tellers will now ascertain and de-
liver the result of the votes to the presiding
officer"
Senator Allison, one of the teller, having de-
livered the statement, the presiding officer ex-
pressed the hope that on the announcement
nothing would mar the dignity of the proceed
ings so reputable to the American people and
worthy of the respect of the world.
He then said 'The whole number of cleo
ors appointed to vote for President and Vice
President of the United States was 500, of which
a majority is 1856. The state of vote for Presi.
dent, as delivered by tellers and as determined
under act of Congress of Jan. 20, 1877, on thiI
subject, is For Rutherford b. Hayes, 1876 votes
for Samuel j. Tilden, 1874 votes. The state OF
the vote for Vice President of the United States
act of Congress approved Jan. 20, 1877 on thi'
subject, is: For William A. Wheeler, 1876 votes
for Thomas A. Hendricks, 1874 votes. Where
fore, do announce that Rutherford ID. Hayes
of the State of Ohio, having received major
ity of the whole number Of electoral votes, il
duly elected President of the United States fol
four years, commencing on the 4th day OF
March, 1877. That VIM. A. Wheeler, of tn,
State of New York, having received a majorit.
of the whole number of electoral votes is duly
elected Vice President of the United States, fQi
four years, commencing on the 4th day o.
March, 1877.
"This announcement, together with the lis
of votes, will be entered on the journals of boil
houses.
'The count of the electoral votes being com
pleted, and the result determined, the join
meeting of the two houses is dissolved. tn,
Senate will now retire to its chamber"

Made Insane BY Hair.Dye.

Most OF our readers in New Milford
will doubtless remember Mrs Miranda
Ruby, crazy woman, who has lived in
this village many years, and whose in
sanity was manifested by always wear
ing letter-envelope ON her bonnet. or
tied to her parasol, or in some other
harmless way but we doubt if any one
would be likely to surmise the cause of
her insanity. A few days ago her son
came to New Milford and took Mrs. Ruby
to see a physician in New Haven for his
advice. The physician said that her diff
ficulty was softening of the brain; that
it was absolutely incurable: and that it
was caused entirely by the use of hair
dye.--Net0 Miifora Conn., Ray.

Messrs. Lamar, of Mississippi, and Douglas.
of Virginia, came near having personal rencon-
ter, during the Democratic caucus at Washing
ton, just before the adjournment of Congress.
The Virginian accused the Mississippan of sell
ing out to the Republicans, and applied the
most opprobrious epithets to him. The attack
was renewed several times, until Lamar. stunc to
madness by the torrent of personal abuse
heaped upon him, drew small pocket pistol
and told Douglas friends if he was not re-
moved he would be killed. The friends of the
fiery Virginian acted upon the hint and removed
him from the hall.

Statue of Liberty.

The pedestal on which is to be placed
the arm of Bartholdi's statue of liberty
in New York has been completed. The
World says: "It is made of rough, I'M
hewn stone, and it's position in Madison
square is directly opposite the Worth
monument. This section of the statue
includes the right forearm and hand,
which is to hold the fambeau, or torch,
within which twelve people can stand. 1t
will be raised to its place within few
days. Several applications have been
made to the Department of Parks to
have means provided for visitors to climb
to the balcony around the torch by means
of the spiral staircase, which is inside
the arm, but it is not thought that such
an arrangement will be made. M.
Bartholdi sailed for Europe few weeks
ago, it is thought for the purpose of OBJ
tanning further subscriptions toward the
purchase of the huge pedestal upon
which the whole statue is to be erected. -
