still in advance of the record of the British

1t is evident from the Russian official report
that Suleman Pasha is making desperate ef-
fort to recapture the Shipka Pass, and that
Osman Pasha is trying to create diver
sion in his favor by advancing toward SEW.
The joint operation is of the gravest import
ance. Should Suleiman succeed he might
march through the Sbipka Pass on llrnova,

The neat little speeches which the President
and his companions make along the route are
beginning to be something more definite than
q mere exchange of compliments for hospital
ity. Each speaker seems willing to discuss, at
least in part, the points on which he has had
the most criticism. The President, for in
stance, gives some of the broader reasons for
his Southern policy, and Mr.. Evarts shows
cause for hoping that he can not only make
short speeches, but that he has limits even for
his longest.

prisoner remarked that if he were rearrested
it would be great misfortune to him, as he

Artificial cOlOring of sugars, according to
present Custom House estimates has cost
the Treasury some millions of dollars. The
amount obtained by drawbacks on these
sugars is greater than the duties they
have paid. The question naturally arises
why, if the fraud in cOlOring can be so
easily proved AS is stated, and is so enormous
in amount. the seizures of such cOlOred sugars
should be deferred for more than month. Is

Gov. RoBlNsoN'S MESSAGE
Albany, Jan. 2.--Gov. Robinson
in his message first treats OF
State matters at length, referring
to national affairs. lie says in re
gard to Louisiana [ pause here
in this Statement to interpose i'll
behalf Of this great Common
wealth, q solemn denial Of the
power Of any State government
Of the Federal Government, to
vest such powers as are claimed
by the Louisiana Returning Board
in any caAvassing board whats
ever.
He also reviews the action OF
the Florida and South Carolina
boards, condemning both their
action and that OF the Federal
Government, IN connection with
those two boards Te declares
the military interferences have
been in violation of the constitn-
tioii and laws. He says: while
these things were going on in the
South. d member of the Cabinet,
at Washington, was acting as
chairman of a partisan national
committee, and, with the co-opera
ton of some Of his colleagues in
the Cabinet, c%ounseliing and syS
rematically stimulating these
desperate measures
With reference to the Presi-
dent of the Senate determining
what State shall be counted, he
says: The President Of the Senate
is three removes FROM the people;
if such a power We're to have
been vested in a single man, Il
depository would have been cho
sen not SO far removed from popu
lar accountability But the peo~
pie Of this country will never vest
snch a power in any one man,
however selected. They will never
consent to a new construction
of the constitution and laws that
bears such trnir.
In this sentiment and purpose
| the State OF New York cordially
cohcurs. Foremost among all our
American CoDmonwealths in
population, in the variety aud ex
tent of der industries and inter-
ests, she has in every vicissitude
of public affairs put forth all her
strength, moral and physical, to
maintain :h~ existence and the
just authorities of the Union, and
she can never consent that the

titntional government shall be

For the preservation or recovery OF

yet been d stream supplied ny
Mississippi river water made nari
gable 10y Locks, as the deposit OF
SAND in that water is so rapid aud
great as to fill up the Locks III Il

1t will hardly be worth while
for the monopolists, who perceive
in the closing of this Bayou. rich
mines of wealth in prospective
railroads and special rights and
privileges which viii enrichen
them at the expense Of others, to
