What Is Thought in Germany of the
United States

Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette.
FRANKFORT-ONT Feb. 9th.
The splendid balance of trade which our
| country has enjoyed during the past year
IS something astonishing to the good peO-
pie here and hereabouts. They are as
tonshed, bewildered, terrified; for this,
to lis a pillar of light, is a dark, ominous
shadow to the industries of the Old
World. 1t inspires at once respect and
| fear throughout this Continent. Nothing
in fact that has happened during the past
century, not excepting the suppression of
| the Rebellion, has given the United States
50 great name, and has compelled such
| profound respect for our Republic all over
| Europe as this great Industrial and com
mercial triumph. ''You are playing the
mischief with us over here said TO me
one Of the great bankers Of Frankfort, not
| thirty siA hours ago. He was speaking
Of our balance of trade "You have a
wonderful country, said he at is per

This was the language of a cool, calcu-
laung ilnancier, the head of one of the
wealthiest and oldest banking firms of
this old banking city. And what he said
is to be heard here, in substance, every

The Presidents Message

WASHINGTON, March ~ The following is the
Presidents message, calling the extra session
Fellow citizens Of the Senate and House Of Rep
sentatiyes The failure Of the last Congress to
make requisite appropriations for legislative and
Judicial purposes, for the expenses Of the several
executive departments Of the government, and for
the support of the army, has made it necessary To
call special session Of the 10th Congress The
estimates of the appropriations needed which were
sent to Congress by the Secretary Of the Treasury
at the opening of last session are renewed and are
herewith transmitted to both the Senate and House
of Representatives.
Regrettng the existence Of an emergency which
requires a special session Of Congress at a time
when it is the general Judgment Of the country
that the pubic welfare will be best promoted by
permanency in our legislation and by peace and
rest, | commend these few necessary measures to
your consderate attention.

Decision of the Democratic Caucus Com
mittee.

mttee.
The Committees appointed last week
by the Democratic caucuSeS of the House
ana Senate held another Joint meeting
Tuesday afternoon ana reached Il final
agreement concerning both the general
nature and precise form Of their recon-
mendatlons for political legislation during
the present session. They will recommend
that the repeal Of the law authorizing the
presence OF troops at the polls be effected
by Incorporating it in the Army bill, and
copy Of the clause agreed to by the
House last session, that the jurors test
oath be likewise simply abolished by I'M
sertlon Of repeating clause in the Leg
lslatlye, Executive and Judicial bill, and
that the provisions then Incorporated by
the House in the same bill amendatory of
the law in regard to mode Of empanel-
ling jurors be substantially adopted by
the Democratic party this session.
In addition to the last named clause there
will be recommended for incorporation
into the legislative, executive and judicial
bill, series of clauses, the effect of which,
If enacted, will be to repeal the existing,
authority for the appointment Of chief su-
pervlsors and deputy marshals for cleo
TONS, and to restrict the functions and
power OF the two supervisors of different
politics, whose appointment in the present
manner will continue to be authorized, to
those Of witnesses and challengers only
1t will also be provided that these super
visors must be residents and duly quail
fed voters in the precincts where they are
to serve. The jurisdiction of federal
courts to punish such frauds in elections
for Representatives to Congress as may
be reported by the supervisors or other
citizens, is not to be interfered with, nor
will the caucus be advised to disturb the
existing law known as the enforcement
act, relative to suffrage and other civil
rights.

tary confinement ut or in the county Jail
or Workhouse for not less than six months
nor over eighteen provided, that if he
can prove that he does not make a prac-
tee Of going about begging he shall be
discharged also, that any tramp who
shall enter dwelling house against the
Will Of the occupant, or kindle a fire in
the highway or on the land of another, or
be found carrying any dangerous weapon,
or do or threaten any injury not amount
ing to felony, shall upon conviction be
sentenced to solitary confinement at labor
for not over three years. The Green
hackers voted against it as being tyran-
