The COMM. Message.

Washington. Mach 6.-There is reason
to believe that the Presidents message to
Congress will be brief and. confined TO snl,-
jects for which it will be convened. and
that he will at the instance of Secretary
Sherman ask that measures be adopted for
the Increase Of revenue. it having been de-
creased to the extent Of SIC, OOO, 600 by the
passage of the tobacco bill. The Secretary
says that to-day but for this he would have
$4,000. 900 of surplus revenue with which
to pay the arrears OF pensions recently
authorized by Congress.
