THE MESSAGE.

The Presidents annual message to
Congress is somewhat lengthy and gen.
orally judicious in its recommends
tions. 1t opens by saying that The
members of the forty-sixth Congress
have assembled in their first regular
session under circumstances calling
for mutual congratulations and CRATE
full acknowledgements to the Giver Of
all good for the large and unusual
measures Of prosperity which we now
enjoy. It then speaks OF the financial
operations of the Government since
the Presidents last annual message
and congratulates Congress on the sue
cessful resumption Of specie payment.
1t then proceeds to speak OF home
affairs generally and then of our for
eign relations. 1t then refers 10 the
reports Of the cabinet officers, and
speaks of matters referred to by them
and of other matters OF interest to TIE
Government and the people.
In one respect the message is eXcep.
tionable and Objectionable. 1t fayors
the retirement from circulation OF
United States notes, with the
capacity of legal tender in
private contracts. 1t would not only
take away the legal tender
capacity of these notes but
would retire them from circulation.
This would be very Objectionable, and
especially to the people of the West.
The United States notes Or treasury
notes as they are frequently called, are
the most popular money the United
States have ever had. and the people
will be very unwilling to part with
them, Already two resolutions have
been introduced i'll the House of Rep
resentatives, expressing the opinion
that any financial legislation or at
tempt to retire the legal-tender notes,
at this session, would be iniudiciOus-
One by Mr.. Price, Of Iowa, and the
other by Mr.. Fort, of Illinois. Both
resolutions went to the Banking and
Currency Committee We hope&they
may be favorably reported by the ON
mittee and passed by the House.

The boys have hired Reeds Hall
for the coming year, and propose to en-
terrain the citizens of this place with
SEINE fine dramatic plays before long.
A suitable stage was put in Saturday.
and all that is now wanting is some
tangible encouragement on the part of
parents and friends to help them raise
funds to meet the necessary expenses
incurred. The members of this iuve-
nile dramatic club are all young, have
had no experience heretofore in the
matter OF raising money, and little
help now will be just the thing to es-
tablish them on a firm footing. The
object in forming this club was not
merely to entertain the members there
Of and their friends with an exhibition
now and then, of their dramatic abi,-
ity. but to improve their minds. cult
waite their taste for polite literature.
and by an interchange of thought at
their weekly meetings to make them
selves masters of the kings English
and fine conversationalists. Young
people must have some amusement-
they can't work all the time-and q
society Of this kind is just the thing to
benefit and improve the moral tone of
the young society of this city. A word
to the wise is sufficient, SO let parent
and friends lend a helping hand in this
undertaking.
