The Presidents Message.
+ From The New York Tribune. ]

from The New York Tribune.
The annual Message of President Hayes,
reviews great variety of topics, affecting
the muifarious interests of the country, with
conspicuous thoroughness, candor and abili-
tv. The Message is dignfed in tone and en-
tirey free from partisanship but its recital of
facts and its recommendations cannot fail to
strengthen public confidence in the party by
which the President was chosen. The com
ments and recommendations of the Message
will in the main be approved by the country
as eminently judicious and patriotic.
from the New York Times.
The President in his Message, is able to
present very fattering picture of the condi-
ton of the affairs of the government Per-
feet peace with all other nations; tranquility
at home, undisturbed except by trivial In
dian hostilties on the Southwestern border;
abundant harvests; the great experiment of
resumption successfully begun, and awaiting
only judicious completion to give us as sound
a currency as exists in the world; large re-
duction in the interest for the public debt, and
n considerable reduction Of the principal;
revenue promising to make the maintenance
of the sinking fund feasible, and
a condition of generally advancing prosperi-
ty in commerce and industry-these are fea-
lures of our situation to which the President
is able to refer with satisfaction. And it is to
his credit that he does not shrink, in the por-
travail of this pleasing picture, to point out
the blemishes and urge policy by which
they may be removed.
from the Boston Advertiser.
On the whole the message is an able and
dignified presentation of the topics referred to,
moderate in tone and commenting itself to
the judgment of unprecedented men. There
is not word in the message that has the fla
vor of the demagogue or selfseeker in it.
The measures recommended are without ex-
ception such as would make the government
stronger, purer and better.
From the Boston Journal
The third annual message of President
Hayes is a brief, clear and concise business
like paper, utterly devoid of rhetoric and
without a startling proposition from begin
ming to end 1t contains those things which
intelligent people desire to know about their
Government and those which a Congress
that would legislate wisely should know.

by A. j. Conant, A. NJ. In brief the volume

uses. The substance of this work has al
ready appeared in voluminous work, en-
titled ''The Commonwealth of Missouri" 1t

and among other things shows that this coun-

ton about which nothing now is known ex-

faint signs of the former existence of nu-
merous people.

"Oddments of American diplomacy" is the

as odl as the title. The author de-
votes considerable space to the adj
vocacy of Longitudinal DoubleTrack Steel
Railroad that shall ruu straight through the
American continent from North to South,
and good deal more space to the publishing
of correspondence between himself and high
officials of the government in relation to
claims against Bolivia and the ''somnolent,
short-sighted and shallow souled subjects of
Monarchical Portuguese Brazil" A cursory
examination of the book shows fluent and
elegant style of writing, but the subject mat
ter is tar less attractive to the reading public,
we imagine, than the mere skill Of the ready
writer.

letter from New Orleans to y country
paper, in which the following language
is used:
a great many members have been

opposition to the bondholdcrs in a

have heavy responsibility upon
them.
In the words of Senator Lamar, this
language is harsh, it is severe, and such
as no good journal would deserve and
no brave Journal would wear. Can it
be true?
And can il be true that the small

INTERNATIONAL WALKING MATCH.

LONDON, June 21, 1879.
Weston made the unprecedented
score of $50 miles in al hours and 55
minutes.
Although the result of the race was a
fOregone conclusion, thousands flocked
to Agricultural Hall tonight to wit
ness the concluding scenes. Weston
appeared as fresh as at the start, and
spurtcd around the track with a quick
and vigorous stride when walking, and
an easy lope when running, giving evil
dence of greatIpowers of endurance. His
performance was loudly applauded,
and his fresh appearance much COM
mented upon. His pedestrian abilities
were acknowledged to be wonderful.
Brown appeared on the track during
the evening, and kept there presever-
ingly until near the close, when he re-
tired for good.
Shortly after s O'Clock the band be-
gan to play popular American airs in
honor of the victor, and Weston in
creased his speed and rolled up miles
very fast. During the next ninety
minutes Weston's miles averaged
twelve minutes.
At 10 p. M, 141 hours from the start,
he had completed SIG miles, and was
fourteen miles ahead of the record. At
10 80 p. m. he had added two miles to
the score, and had 35 minutes in which
to cover $50 miles and win the Ashley
wager. At 10 :35 p. m. mile was
finished and the band played "Hail
Columbia At 10 $50 he had one lap
to make, and he ran like deer around
the track and the race was won.
Weston made a speech, in which he
said the people in America would not
believe he could walk, but he had now
won the belt and was ready to defend
it.
Rowell has challenged: him, and the
contest will take place in New York
in September.

dailies, for fraudulent debts, for recre-
ant delegates, or for manly resistance
to Radical misrule. They are respon-
sible only for what they have hitherto
hold and for what they now hold.
That is all,
In one Of Johns Hooper's sketches OF
life in Alabama, it is told of a MEM
Der of the Church in Chambers county
that a committee of his Church waited
upon him to demonstrate against his
habits of intemperance. He was n
hard drinker. He admitted that he
did have an "appetite" for whisky,
and had struggled hard against it. 1t
was given to him, he said in exslana-
ton, and he had prayed to the Lord
fervently and sincerely to take the APP
petite away from him. And the Lord,
brethren, he said, has not answered
my prayer!
Hooper said that this was shifting
the responsibility upon the Lord.
In this case the responsibility cannot
be shifted. Delegates and newspapers,
alike, arc free moral agents.

1t has been given as a reason for pay
ing debts contracted in the name of the
State Of Louisiana, although against
tho will of her people, that we shall be
rich in ten years, and will not then
think 512,00O,O00 SO great q sum as we
do now. This logic, the Bee remarks,
is like telling II man crushed under Il
weight which he cannot move to get
up, because once he gets up he will not
feel the weight as he did before.
1t is rather difficult, however, to
perceive how We shall be rich in ten
years unless the nightmare of fraudu-
lent bonds be lifted from the breast of
Louisiana.
It has drained our resources for years.
Like sieve the volume of our annual
income has passed through it into I'M
fruitful ground, leaving but drosS be-
hind. Like u dragon of medieval lc-
gcnd, it has long eNtortcd Il terrible
annual tribute of flesh and blood; and
the people hailed the prospect Of Il con-
vcntion as the coming of Il st. George
who should deliver them of the mon
stcr. We may become rich in ten years,
but not with the present enormous
ball-and-chain of taxation fcttcred to
the ankles of agriculture and commerce.

eXhausts her vitality.-N. O. CIty Item.

4 PICTURE.

AS u matter of serious contemplation
we desire to call attention to Il few of
the points in the constitution of 1868
which are dislOy:tl to republican gov
crnmcnt. Article 1, Bill of Rights, is
q plagiarism of tho Declaration of In
and declares that ''gov-
among mon derive their just
powers from the consent of the govern
eds" Article = cnunciatcs the baldcst
thereon, when it declares that
we as citizens owe paramount alleGi-
ancc to the United States. Allegiance
implies loyalty to govern when used in
the sense Indicated, and the govern
mcnt spoken of by tho trainers of the
under consideration i'm
piled power directly foreign to the
poo: lc, who, according to the express
sion in the first instanccd article, are
tho dcrivativc power from which gov
are drawn. In other words,
the constitution of 1868 contends that
the Creator establishes \ creature and
to that creature the Creator owes allie
glance.
Hero is vital principle of uemoc!a.
cy which the constitution directly as
sails and which the amendments arc
silent upon. Article l5l contains an
opposite, not only to the high sound
ing declaration of the Bill of Rights,
Art. /, but to the very theory of rcpub-
lican liberty. II says that this consti-
tuition shall he submitted for ratitica-

SHAD ARKANSAS.

Seven years ago Il lot of little shad
were placed in the Ouachita river,
which rises in Arkansas, flows into
Louisiana, and empties into Red river
in the latter State. Nothing was seen
OF them for Il long while, and most
people had forgotten the experiment,
when two years ago two or three stray
sliad, the first that had ever been
known in that region, were caught.
Last year between thirty and forty
