THE Northern Democratic editor has
not yet found time to comment oa that
vote of the solid South for the repeal of
the Resumption Act. 1t is a pretty large
and meaty subject, and the more it is
examined the uglier it looks for the
Democratic party. The country cannot
look, except with alarm, upon the spec
tacle OF the controlling element OF a par
ty which has prospect of getting pos
session of the Government voting as one
man for incipient reputation. And
when back of this vote there is plainly
visible another one just as unanimous

The ANNUAL MESSAGE Of President
Hayes to Congress was delivered on
Monday and was the longest similar
document submitted in the past sixteen
the financial question, regarding as pre-
eminent the policy and measures which
are designed to secure the restoration of
the currency to normal and heaLthful
condition, and believes thst the resump-
ton Of specie payments is the one thing
necessary to settle the disturbed condi-
ton of our finances and secure the pros
perity of the country. He also recon-
mends the issue of silver currency in
limited quantities and of q value as
nearly equal to gold as possible. Of his
Southern policy he speaks at consider
able length and regards the results fol-
lowing as very encouraging. He says
s'No unpreiudiced mind will deny that
the fatal collisions which for several
years have been OF frequent occurrence,
and have alarmed the public minds, have
almost entirely ceased and that spirit
of mutual forbearance and hearty nation
al interest has succeeded. There has
been q general establishment of order
and of the orderly administration of
justice. Instances of remaining law
lessness have become of rare occurrence;
political turmoil and turbulence have
disappeared useful industries have
been resumed public credit in the
Southern States has been greatly
strengthed, and the encouraging benefit
of a revival of commerce betwsen the
sections Of the country lately embroiled
in civil war are fully enjoyed. Such are
some of the results already obtained,
upon which the country is to be con-
graduated. They are OF such impor-
lance that we may with confidence
patiently await the desired consumma-
ton that will surely come with the
natural progress of events. The pro-
lection of the rights of the colored peo-
pile are justly demanded and he urges
the prompt punishment of all who at
tempt to Cypress them. AS whole the
message il an able document and gives
the people clear idea OF his objects and
intentions, showing him to be patriot
and statesman who is doing what he sin
cerely believes to be for the best inter
ests of the whole country, and while
there may be a difference of opinion as
to the wisdom of his policy, we believe
that there is safety in standing by him
and bringing his measures to q full and
thorough test.

New York has baby Weighing one
pound and ten ounces. Its name Is
Collins, and the Graphic describes:
The child, girl, was born last Sunday,
and weighs one pound and ten ounces,
while its length is thirteen and a half in
ches, about that of good sized loaf of
bread. 1t is well proportioned, al
though it would be stretched a point to
call it handsome. Its head is not as
large as a Havana orange, and is Gov
cred by dark hair, while its complexion
is also very dark. The little creatures
eyes are always shut, and its breathing
can hardly be heard, even in closest
proximity. The hands are very narrow,
long and bony, looking more like the
claws OF bird than the hands of a hui
man being.

New York TRIBUNE: The apparent
causes for discouragementa are rather en-
couraging than otherwise. The dispo-
sition of the Southern question has re-
moved one cause of offence against Re-
publicans, and destroyed so much
Democratic capital. The Presidents
honest efforts to improve the Civil Ser
vice remove another ground of COM
complaint, and leaves Democracy bank
rupt. And as for the Democratic as
eendancy i'll Congress, we look upon it
Us the best thing that could happen. 1t
gives an opportunity to disclose their
real purpose and character to the coun-
try. Nothing more Is needed to
insure their defeat. Upon the whole,
Democrats may as wen postpone dis
counting their coming success for lit
tie while. 1t is too much in doubt to
warrant premature ex1ltation on their
part or unnecessary sadness on the part
of Republicans.

The Presidents message to Congress
is an interesting document and is I'M
usually valuable in dealing with the
Southern policy and the reforms which
have formed SO large part of Republi-
can platforms and SO small part of Re
publican practice. On the money ques
ton the President is firm. He is de-
cidedly favorable to resumption-and
advocates the payment of the bonds is
sued prior to 1873 in gold. Evidently
he does not favor the reconciliation of
.ilver, but will sign silver bill which
exempts the payment of the bonds in
that coin. These portions of the docu-
ment viii b. read with interest

The ultra silver and greenback men
have claimed that the characterization of
the silver dollar in 1873 was contrac-
ton of the currency. The claim, of
course, is absurd, since if the whole
amount of American silver dollars coined
from the beginning of the government
up to that time had then been in circu-
lation the contraction would have been
uneppreciable. The sntire coinage of sill
yer dollars by our minis from 1892 to
1855, WAS but 81, 553, 600; and from 1893
to 1873 the total amount coined was
s., 49,, 1873, making an aggregate of only
SS,045 1888. These figures are taken
from the report of Secretary Sherman,
and are no doubt correct
