WASHINGTON, July 22.-The President

look upon the present exigencv as present.
ing, the most important question that has
come up since the, advent OF this Admins
Mation. Yesterday and to-day the Presf-,
dent and bis advisers have been in constant

surrection must be put down, even though
the. waste , OF blood and, treasure should
rival the drain OF the late terrible conflict,
the memory OF which is yet fresh In: desc
lated hearts and ruined homes.

at the feet of lawlessness, and he, the. Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, travelling on Govern
ment business, found an .ihSurm
barrier erected by the hands Of violence be-
tween him and the capital Of the nation. He
found the United States laws wantonly; Ylo-
