The Presidents Message.

The Annual Message of the President
was delivered to Congress on the 1st inst.
1t is quite lengthy, but the following
gives brief abstract of the important
features of the document.
The President makes resumption the
starting point, and congratulates the
Nation on the success of the return to
specie basis. He thinks that "with a
currency equivalentin value to the mon
ey of the commercial world, we are en-
abled to enter upon an equal competition
with other nations in trade and produc-
ton. The increasing foreign demand for
our manufactures and agricultural pro-
ducts has caused a large balance of trade
in our favor, which has been paid in gold
from the 1st of July last to November15,
to the amount of about $50 900 900. Since
the resumption of specie payments there
has also been marked and gratifying
improvement of the public credit. The
bonds of the Government, bearing only
4per cent. interest, have been sold at or
above par sufficient in amount to pay off
all of the National debt which was re-
deemable under present laws. The
amount of interest saved annually by
the process of refunding the debt since
March 1, 1877, is 4,297 ,177. The bonds
sold were largely in small sums, and the
number of our citizens now holding the
public securities is much greater than
ever before.
1.-The amount of the National debt
which natures In less than two years is
S792, 2,121, zoe, of which $500, 100000 bears
interest at the rate of 8 per cent, and
the balance is in bonds bearing per
cent. interest. 1t is believed that this
part of the public debt can be refunded
by the issue of s per cent. bonds, and by
the reduction of interest which will
thus be effected about $1l 900 900 can be
annually saved to the Treasury. To se-
cure this important reduction of inter-
est to be paid by the United States fur
ther legislation is required, which it is

BOSTON S1AhrLED BY A MURDER.

JOSEPH F. FRYE, A RESPECTED MERCHANT, MUIR
pERED AND ROBBED IN HIS OWN HoUsE-Two
ITALIANS UNDER ARREST on SUSPICION OF HAv-
ING KNOWLEDGE OF THE AFFAIR.
BosTON, Aug. 15-Joseph f. Frye, a dealer in
hides and leather was found dead this morning at
his residence, No. 10 Jay-st A etter-caIrier,
ing the door aar, entered and found Mr. Frye lying
dead in front of his open safe. Mr.. Frye, who was
about forty years of age left his place of business at
$50 D. m yesterday, but nothing is known concern
ing his movements after that hour. HIS family is
now away, but is expected to return Tomorrow.
Nothing is known, unless by his family, about
the contents of Mr. Frye's safe, or whether he had
sufficient sum of money in the house to tempt
robbers. When the officers arrived the outside door
of the safe was found open, exposing solid silver
set of thirty pieces, which had been LETT undis-
turbed In a coal hod, about four feet behind the
body, was a revolver, one barrel of which was dis
charged
Investigation into the trag dy proves cOnclu-
siveIy that it was a murder and not a case Of sui
eide The victim was a gentleman of high standing
in business circles, and no less hOnOred IN pri-
vate life There was no motive whatever for sui
eide and il is now considered certain that he was
murdered for the purpose of rObbing him of valu-
ables thought to be in the house at the time. The
impression of the police authorities and others who
have the matter under Investigation is that
the murder took place about IL o'clock last night,
although there is no certain proof on this point. A
post-mortem examination shows that not only Is
the suicide theory impossible, but that there must
have been desperate struggle by Mr. Frye to
sist murderous assaults.
The fatal wound was caused by shot through
the heart. but there at least dozen stabs in
the back and numerous bruises on the body. On an
examination of Mr. Frye's effects, it was found that
his watch was missing, and that his pockets had
been riled The full extent Of the robbery has not
yet been ascertained.
The assassination has created an intense excite
ment in the community, tragedy of such pc
culiar character is altogether without precedent in
Boston, Two or three persons are under suspicion,
but the authorities very reticent as TO the i'm
pressions under which the police are acting. Mr..
Frye had as protege young Italian. who had sew
eral friends among his own countrymen two of the
latter are under arrest suspicion of having cog
nizance of the murder. The mystery, however, has
not been solved up TO midnight. There can be no
other reasonable theory of the murder than that IL
was done for robbery, and It is also certain that
more than one person was engaged III ii.

his general manager, Joseph w. Pierce. of Roches-
ter, had lost his life in the burning building.
While struggling to save Jackson, he had passed
Pierce in the hall of the pavilion. Since
getting ont of the house with his family
he had inquired everywhere tor Pierce but bad not
heard or seen anything ofhim He thought that II
Pierce had not persisted il at least very strange
that he had not reported to him, In refer
ence 10 the origin of the fire, Mr.. walker
said that he had repeatedly warned hls servants
against taking a light INTO the oil room ana
he had ordered Schuhardt that night, with the
added emphasis of oath, not TO take light INTO
that room. He had lost everything except what
property he had in the safe, and his wife had only
escaped with the clothes which she wore.
James Hennessey, of Rochester, who had charge
of the bar, SAID that learning that the pavilion
was on fire he rushed to his room and snatched mp
some of his property which he wished TO save.
When he got out INTO the hall he saw Pierce JUST
before him. On going to the stars he
found his escape cut of that way, and had
to climb out of window and down
a post wateT-pipe in doing which he cut his hand
severely. He had inquired for Pierce after getting
ont of the burning building, but had not seen hun
or anybody else who had any knowledge of him.
He was afraid that Pierce had not been able TO
escape. as he was man who weighed about 300
Oouuds.
