4 Bloody Shirt Message.

The Governor OF Kansas, in his message to
the Legislature of that State yesterday, says, ir
alluaing to the present condition Of the coun.
try's affairs:
This condition Of things was made possible
By macnanimty without reason, and an
animos'y without precedent, by which We made
haste to say that treason Was not crime to be
remembered, and traitors aot meu to be feared
in power These acts were sweet to the taste
OF mercy, aud conSong to the spirit Of for
giyeucss, but they have proved ashes in the
mouth Of wisdom and bitterness to the soul Of
Justice. By this mistaken action and uurea
sonabIe confidence men who but lev years
ago were in open, armed rebellion against the
constituted authorities OF our Government in 4
war without historical parallel in extent and
cruelty. have found their way back into the
halls Of legislation aud positions OF exalted exec
utiye and judicial trust in the National and
State Governments. 1t these mcn when thus
reiustated had by their acts indicated our con-
hdence in their returning loyalty and love OF
country it would have been sublime coDsum.
nation, for which the nations OF the Garth have
sighed 10 vain since human governments or.
cauized; but such q corsumUatiou was not pos
siblc, because human nature iote!veres to pre-
vent conquered foe from becoming trusted
friend. The leaders Of that great rebellion mag
bow in manly submission to the results ola var
ia which they lost everything, but they can
never cease TO cherish the lost cause az the
level of their secret hope Of their ioner hearts,
nor would we respect them more If they could.
The soooer We admit this great fundamental
act the sooner VIC shall lift our Government
above the periis of rebellion and revolution by
keeping its control 10 the hands of those whose
love for its priceless blessings is paramount to
the love Of lite itself. In this, as 10 all prcvi
Gus conflicts involving the questions OF human
rights human equality and free government,
Kansas stands before the world III the same
heroic attitude it has ever maintained, IN its
maiorities in national aud State ticket!, aud 10
the almost complete political uoaUirli'y o.! your
body, it has reaiiirmed its devotion totbe right
and renewed its pledge 10 sister States aud the
word that it will not be gully of treason to the
future by forgetting the bloody record o. tGca-
son 10 the past. 1t is the uuqueslioued Ecose
of public judgment and patriotism that not ore
step be conceded compromised or yielded TO the
talk Of force. We tervcnIly pray
that the dscordant elements Of war nay not
again curse our land, but, if needed 10 protect
and defend the sacred earnings OF the last great
the people of Kansas will BE- toucd
ready to do theic duty.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY, JANUARY J.. 1877.

The committee appointed BY the United
States Hous. OF Representatives 10 define the
powers of the House 10 relation to the count
of the electoral vote have agreed that the Pres
ident Of the Senate cannot count the vote; that
the House OF Representatives and the Senate
must count the vote !; that IN the count the
House and Senate are coordinate branches
having equal powers, and that no vote can
he counted without the assent Ct the House.
The report, which is completed, was agreed
to by strict party vote. The reports OF the
several committees sen, South, WILL it is also
understood, be agreed upon 10 the same way,
that is, the democrats on them voting one way,
and theradicals, directly opposite; and thai un-
less the one hundred thousand uuarmed mel
who are coming to Washington Oh St. Nalen-
tines Day bring with them sufficient moral
force to overaw the National Returning
Board" the counting Of the vote will he dc.
laycd until after the 4th c. March, in order
that Grant may hold over-thc main object,
now that Hayes has been coquctting with the
South-or. 10 the event oil The failure OF that
project, that some other means may be devised
by which to cheat the million majority Of white
voters GU, OF their choice for President.

We observe that the discussion that took p lace
in the late democratic meeting in Richmond,
prior 10 the adoption Of the resolutions relating
to the present national troubles, regarding the
propricty Of any action in the premises By llr.
GINA, has been takeu up and is being con-
tinued by some oil the newspapers nt the State.
1t seems to Us that if the equality Of the States
of the Union is acknowledged, and II Virginia
has been rchabiIitatel, and is BOW one OF the
ssterhood Of States, the pEopriety OF the action
of the Richmond meeting can 40 mrre be
questioned than tina: OF the SIMILAR meetings
held on the same day ID maDy other parts CT
the country. If, however, the equality oi the
States be denied, and il Virginia be couquer-
ed province whose representatives are only al
lowed to appear in Congress by sufc7aooe. then
the action oil Tie Richmond meeting was
piece of impcrtineut impulenc,, demanding
the sevcrest condemnation.

SENATOR HORIZONS .DOMBAHEIu

Mr.. Morton's letter is thought to be a
mistake by the Bourbous Of both parties.
The extreme democratic journals unite
with the extreme republicans in deaoun-
clng and him. Why? The country is a,
Last at peace; is this a bad thing? We IRE
likely TO have some rest from political ex-
element; is that bad thing? The mex,
Congress will not waste long session in
wrangling over the Southern question
but will have time to consider questions &,
real importance to the country; is tha. a
bad thing?
The country begins to be aware that i,
has to deal with lot of politicians who
are utterly regardless Of its interests, and
Jealous only for their own advant.ges.-
These fellows would make Mexico of tn.
United States if they bad their way. Their
policy is rule or ruin, and they are now
abusing President Hayes because they sec
very plainly that he is not in symp.thy
with them. We trust he will 20 on IN his
chosen way without the least wavering.-
He need not be afraid of the Bourbops: he
need not conciliate them. He is sure Of ,
majority Of honest men in both house,
Wien Congress meets, and We trust he will
not suffer himself to be coerced or bullied
by anybody, but that he will go ahead anc
serve the country, whose interest he seems

A,AAMoA,s DILEMMA.

The New York = Hsrald' thus com
ments Germany holds reeolutely TO ih'
view that the recent change in the Frencl
government is menace to her, a. to d
other Powers committed to 3 policy viii
regard to the Pope unacceptable to thl
uItramontsne party. In France, Or at al
events in the government circles and il
official ulterancea, it is maintained witt
the greatest energy that this is not true
but that, on the contrary, the change made
has no relation whatever to the foreign
policy oftbe government. Inthis difference
it must be conceded that the Germans are
at least the most logical. II the change
made in MacMahon's Cabinet has no rela
tion to the foreign policy Of France the
ecclesiastical asitators who helped to make
this change will be disappointed. They
constitute the party the President depends
upon in his defiance Of the party that is
the exponent oftheopinions of,he majority
Of the people. If they are disappointed
they will make their disappointment felt,
and upon what will the President and biz
Ministry rest then? He has thrown over
the majority party and made it the enemy
Of his government because lie puts himself
in an attitude Of hostility to the constitu-
tion and even to parliamentary. govern.
mont. By the choice of reactionary Min.
istry he has even alienated and alarmed
all those moderate conservatives who os-
cillate from group to group Of the Centres.
He has, therefore, no support but one to be
drawn from the party ofthe Right with
priestly and royal sympathies. They will
not Insist upon programme with regard
to royalty; but will they support gov.
ernment that does not accept their views az
to Rome and the Pope? Not for a me-
msnt. And if MacMahon accepts their
views then lie is on the ground which the
Germans allege he meant to take, and he
is in collision morally with the Italian
and the German policy. Ifhe does not
change his foreign policy he is at issue
with the only party from which he can
h, ,pe for support, and he must fall. If he
does change bis foreign policy he comes in
collision with Germany. What course
will he choose?

AxERICAN MANUFACTURES.

Some Of the leading merchants, and lead
ing manufacturers Of the country had :
consultation in Philadelphia in relation t.
the best means ofincreasing the spread o
American manufactured goods in foreign
nations. They hope to achieve this COM
mendable and desired results through the
agencl Of associations devoted to the dis
s,mination Of facts in relation 10 Ameri-
can manufactured products, and also 10
certaiaing the best markets in Europe,
and the class Of goods to put upon sale in
these localities. In this manner it j.
claimed home manufacturers can work with
a reasonable certainty Of a practical result,
and not spend both time, money and raw
materials in the fabrication ofgoods which
are not desirable in foreign markets and
cannot be sold except at ruinous prices to
manufacturers. This ia too often the case
.! the present time, and it is one of the
serious drawbacks upon the manufacturing
interests Of the United States. During tie
Centennial Exhibition great attention was
paid by foreigners to the manufactured
goods of the United States. Tney were
commended for taste in design and skill i.
fabrication and general excellence in ma
terial. Orders were also given for heavy
quantities of many Of the articles. In
this manner the manufactures of the nation
received an introduction to the trade cen>
tres Of the old world ofthe utmost imports
ance. But when the Exposition was over,
and the foreign guests had returned home,
Of course business enterprise fell back into
the old ruts. No extra means were used
to keep up the interest in our goods which,
had been created by seeing them in the
halls Of the National Exhibition. 1t is to
apply the spur to home industry again
and in this mannor reach markets across
the water, that the merchants and manu-
faclurers embarked in the enterprise re-
ferred to. They intend to keep the pro-
ducts of the United States side by side
with those Of England, France, Belgium.
and other nations in nrope, and thus
challenge comparison. Our goods stood
the test in the Centennial Exposition, ard
they will not suffer in any mart where
Competent and trained judges congrega E.
These are the exciting and supporting
reasons for the present movement Of ner-
chants and manufacturers in relation to oh.
tanning more extended markets for their
products, and they have the sanction of the
best men in the nation.
