,es,ous promoter of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie Railroad Mr. MACK in
forns us that q new interest in the
building Of this road is being developed
in Ssndusky and along the upper end OF
he route, and he feels fair degree of
confidence that this important enter
prise will yet be completed, connecting

ton between Norwslk and Huron on the
AXE 3 distance of some Is miles. Sub
,criptions have been made, and the first
lnstslment has been called for, for the
building of the eleven mile link between
Milan and Sandusky. On tnis slde o!
Norwslk, a large amount OF granding
has been done, and but little work
will be required to finish
between 80 and 40 miles Of the road
After that lie done, Mr.. WOOD informs
Us, the management have assurances that
they can market their bonds in sufficient
quantities to complete the whole line.

suocessul completion Of the road.

Sarah j. Spencer and Mrs. Sargent, wife
of Senator Sargent, this morning asked
the President to recommend in his mes
sage legislation BY which women would
be recognized in foreign as well as do

tuition it would meet his approval.

may lead to serious international
difficulties; but be defends 1t on
the ground that the lives aud prop
erty of the border citizens could not be
protected in any other way, and disa-
vows any intention or desire to provok-
Ing hostilities with Mexico. From this
portion OF the message it will appear
that the administration is determined
upon a vigorous foreign policy, one
which will not seek difficulties with 9TH
or nations, and which will be ready to
accept the consequences Of any act nee
esssry for the protection OF the rights or
property of American citizens.
Secretary SHERMAN, in his report,
does not ask for any additional legisla-
ton to enable MN to execute the resump-
ton act, and the President, in his
message, agrees with the Secretary. Ii
Congress was disposed to favsr resump-
lion, some additional laws might be
asked for, but, under the circumstances,
the President and Secretary both think
none should be, and they will stand b.
the act Of January l, 1879.
The Secretary also maintains the re-
sumption act does not require the can
collation. OF the S3O0,O0OOO0 United
States notes which remain after the
greenbsck currency has been reduced to
that maximum, and it may be left in cir.
culation, always changesble at the Sub
Treasures for gold coin.
Affairs ofthe War, Navy, and Post
Office departments receive brief menti N.
.TAe Recommendations OF the chief OF de-
psrtments are generally approved.
In treating of the subjects which come
under the Interior Department, special
prominence is given the Indian question.
The President insists that good faith
should be preserved with the indians.
He is very emphatic upon this point.
The first step toward civilizing the
Indians recommended is by the dis
couragement OF hunting, allowing
them only small supply Of
arms and ammunition, and persuading
them to exchange their ponies for
cattle. This the President thinks will
destroy or keep in check their warlike
spirit. AS last as the Indians abandon
hnuting, the President believes they
should be collected upon smaller num-
Der OF reservations and taught agricul-
ture and herding, and in teaching them
peaceful pursuits their natural tastes
should be considered, and those who pre-
tered cattle raising to farming should be
permitted to choose their occupation.
l: is recommended that the jurisdiction
of the United Statei Court be extended
to protect the Indians, and that an
Indian police, composed of Indians, be
established. Compulsory education is
recommended for Indian children, the
farms supported by the government to
be used for the instruction OF youth IN
the schools, and the farmers themselves
give necessary advice on the reser-
vstlon. Indian labor alone is recon-
mended. The President refers to Secre-
tsry ScHURz's Indian Investigations, and
speaks Of their good results. Legislation
is asked providing for the more certain
discovery and prevention of abuses in
the Indian service.
The Message contains paragraphs on
the District of Columbia, Agricultural
Department, Washington Monument
recommending its completion, and on
several other subjects of minor import
Rnce.

Resumption of Specie Payments.

Among the other subjects OF great and
general Importance to the people Of this
country, l cannot be mistaken, l think,
il regarding as pre-eminent the policy
and measures which s.e designed 10 secure
the restoration OF the currency to that
normal and hea!lhful condition in
which, by the resumption OF specie pay
mants, our internal trade and foreign
commerce msy be brought into hsrmo-
ny with the system OF exchanges which
is based upon the precious metals as the
intrinsic money of the world. In the
public judgment that this end should be
sought and compsssed as speedily and
securely rs the resources of the people
and the wisdom of their government can
accomplish it, there is mu3h greater de-
gree OF unanimity than Is found 10 concur
IN the specific measures which will bring
the country 10 this desired end. As 10 the
rspidity OF the steps by which it Ssn be
safely reached, upon 3 most sCxious and
deliberate e1amInstiOn, which l have
felt /! my duty TO give 10 the subject, l
am but the more confirmed in the Opin-
ion which l expressed IN accepting the
nomination tor the Presidency, and
again upon my Inauguration, tina: The
policy OF resumption slOult be pursued
by every suitable means and tina: no
legislation would be wise that should dis.
parsge the importance or retsrd the At
tainment of that result. l hsve no dis
position, and certainly 10 right, to ques
lion the sincerity or the intelligence of
those holding opposing opinions, and
would neither conceal nor undervalue the
considerable difficulties and even occasion
81 depreasiOu5 which msy attend the pro-
gress OF the nation towards this primary
condition to It's general and permanent
prosperity. must, however, adhere 10
my most earnest conviction that any
waverlng ia purpose or in steedlness IN
the methods, so far from avoiding or re-
duCIng tho Inconvenience insspsraJ.e
from the transition from an irrrug ma
bic to redoemsble paper currency,
would only tend TO increase and prOlong
the disturbance 10 values, and unless re-
trievei must end in serious DIS
order, dishOnOr and disaster in the tusn-
cial affairs OF the government and OF
the people. The mischies which | sp-
prehoud snd urgently deprecste are con-
lined 10 no class OF the people indeed, but
seem TO me most certainly TO threaten
the industrious masses whether their
sre OF skilled or OF common
labor, 50 that it seems 10 mo Il Is OF prime
that their labor should be
in money in itself fixed and
exchsngesble IN value by being irrevocs-
bly, measured by the labor necessary TO
its production. This appreciation OF
the quality OF the money OF the people Is
sougnt Tor and can only be gained by
the resumption of specie payments. The
rich, the spoculators, the operating, the
money dealing classes may not always
feel The mischIefo or may find casual
profits in variable currency, but the
of such currency 10 those
who are psid salaries or wages are in
calculsble.
