POLITICAL TRASH IN GENERAL.

There is not much fresh news in a
political way this morning. Anti
Tammany Democrats are still ye'ping
traitor" at John Kelly, and he and his
organs in return are bowling "fraud,
for which they are bringing forward
some strong evidence. A summary OF
the topics 10 be discussed in Hayes
forthcoming message, is concisely set
forth in the REGISTER to-day. The usual
amount OF election debris from different
parts of the country, is presented to the
political reader. The recount OF the votes
in Wood county, ordered by MIR. Hutch
inson, has resulted rather unfortunately
for that gentleman. Col. Ben Wilson $
majority is increased twenty-fourvotes
thereby, and his majority in the district
is now about one hundred and twenty.

Sheri laa's Annual Report,

dams annual repor, to the General al
the Army sets forth that there are In
the Department of Dakota 4, $50 oil ,ers
and men; in the Department OF the
Plltte, 2,S40; in the Department OF the
Missouri, 4,720, and in the Department,
OF Texas. 3.6i0. He wishes again to
put himself on record as considering
this force entirely inadequate to the
great territory and numerous demands
upon the army from the NOrthern and
Southern borders. The ratio is about
one man TO every seventv-iive square
miles, and in Texas one man II every
l2j square miles. The result is troops
are frequently overworked an often
compelled To take the field against
greatly superior numbers. The officers
and men are equal in intelligence,
artlvity and devotion TO dniy, to any
army IN the world, and no army OF It's
size accomplishes one-third as much
hard work from one years end 10 another.
He refers to the rapidiiy with which
emiyrants arr taking up land in the Far
West, and calls attention TO the recon-
mendations Of Gen. Pope, that perma-
nsnt posts be established in lieu OF the
present costly and insufficient small
posts. He says the railroad companies
are the strongest allies OF the military in
the West, and shows what wonders oil
enterprise are being accomplished 10y
these vigorous corporations in the un-
settled regions OF the territories.

HAYES MESSAGE.

That .s, the Cae Soon to Be-A Resume Of
the Main Points Probably Little
Taffy for the Present Administration.
WASHINGTON, November 9.--Presi-
dent Hayes will begin the preparation
OF his last message to Congress- at an
early day, and has requested the heads
OF all The departments to forward their
recommendations as soon as they can
be prepared. The message will not he
nearly so long as the last, and will con.
tain but few important recommenda-
tions. Whatever suggestions may he
offered by Secretary Sherman touching
the refunding OF the bonds maturing
early i'm 1881 will be incorporated in the
message. The President, in view Of the
PROSPEROUS condition OF the country and
the increasing receipts OF the United
States, together with the surplus rev.
enues, will undoubtedly recommend a
liberal system ot improvements, and,
more especially, the Improvement OF the
Mississippi river.
The President will call the attention
OF Congress to the fact that there is no
provision for the counting OF the electc-
raj vote. lie will urge, in view of there
being no dispute now on the Preslden.

pass some law which will avert any
trouble az to disputed count i'll the iu-
ture. go,
OF our foreign policy but little will be
said exceEt to reiterate the Oit-repeated
expression that "wc are at peace
with all nations. A history OF the fir-
iny upon American merchantmen on u
high seas by Spanish men'oi.war will be
recited, and the steps already taken by
the Government TO secure reparatlon
will be fully set forth. No recommen-
dation will he made looking Ia the re-
duction of taxation, or any change IN
the existing tariff system. Allusion will
be made to the contemplated inter
oceanic Canal. Ii is believed the l'resl-
dent will take the ground that the canal,
il built, shoul he under American aus
pices. The Chinese question it is not
thought will be alluded to. hu. will be
lett to be dealt with unembarrasscd by
the incoming administration. Congress
will be reminded that as yet there has
been no provision made for the payment
of United States Deputy Marshals, and
a recommendation that an APPROPRIATION
covering past expenditures on this score,
and TO provide Tor future coatin Icncles.
will be made. In closing his message.
the President will take occasion to make
a retrospect OF his administration. This
will not be in the nature OF iulsome
euloyv, or a defense OF what may have
been its shortcomings, but will he rather
a recital OF what 1t has accomplished, to
rest upon its own laurels.

ERIN'S LAND LEAGUE.
The Irish Peasantry Ripe for Revolt an
Threatening War to the KNIFE.

Threatening War to the KNIFE.
LONDON, November 9. There can he
little doubt that the popular sentiment
of Ireland is thoroughly aroused. Re.
ports come from all parts Of the county
bringing tidingS Of acts which mark the
influence OF the Land League. Mr.. John
OCallahan, Secretary OF the Waterford
branch OF that organiZ ition, was forcibly
reinstated by 100 armed and masked
men on farm from which he had been
evicted at NewtOwn on the property OF
Henry Barron, and he was forced to
swear on bended knees that he would
not give up the farm. A great sensation
was thereby caused in the district.
The Woodlawn Thgrdm says that .
number Of armed men went last night
TO the house OF Mr.. c. Allen, a land
agent, and fired several shots into the
window, nearly succeeding in wounding
Allen, who Immediately took his depaf-
ture from the town under guard Of the
police. Notices were posted on the
gates warning Mr.. Allen not TO attempt
10 collect rent Oh his masters property.
A Dublin special says: Mr.. Healy,
secretary of Mr.. Parnell, who was re-
Gently arrested on a charge OF intima
ton, has now come forward as a candi.
date for Wexford. This is not the first
time Mr.. Healy has had Parliamentary
aspirations. He was put up in more
boroughs than one at the general cleo
ton, aud made good fight at Meath till
he was Withdrawn in favor OF Mr.. a. Nj.
Sullivan.
His personal address to the electors is
not worthy as giving any idea OF the ad-
vanced principles now maintained by
some members OF the Land League. lie
saws: come forward supported of an
active Irish party. My PRINCIPLES on
the land question are thos. OF the Land
League. On the National que' ton l
hold that the one object Of my efforts
should be National independence.
The Great Sunday Denomination.
LONDON, November 9.-At the great
Athlone demonstration, last Sunday,
Mr.. Parnell vas more violent and bitter
Than ever Among other things he con-
demned the government for sending the
police into districts where semi-starva.
ton now prevails, and compelling the
inhabitants, many I'll whom are depends
ent upon aid furnished from America.
10 pay the costs of the surveillance. He
advised Irishmen to organize and agltate
without ceasng until they become the
owners Of the soil. His censure oi exist
ing authority was unstinted, and he ap.
peared utterly defiant OF consequences.
The influence of his remarks, ii is feared,
will lead to agrarian uprisings and an
actual war TO the knife. After Mr. Par
nell had retirej, Timothy Sullivan
closed a short address, by hurting the
copy OF his Indictment among the peo
pie, who tore it into thousand frag-
ments. amid howls Of approval and ex-
.crations OF England. The audience
numbered o, least 20O00, many OF the
peasantry walking barefoot fifty miles
to be present.

roses the Folly Of Makiog Contest.
A..,.,I,... i. November 9.-The
following letter has been addressed TO
the Argus by Edgar X. Apqar, member
both Of the Democratic State Commit.
70? ~. tue Executive Committee OF
that oUuy:
ALBANY, November 3.
To The .irg,n:
As there appears TO be some misun-
d"'e."r ling on the subject, it is proper
10 state mat there has been no meeting
held since the day oi the election, either
OF the Democratic State Commit
tee or OF. the Executive Commit.
tee OF that body; nor have notices
been sent 10 the members OF either
committee for any such meeting. In the
future any action taken by the members
OF the committee, whether officers or
otherwise, is an individual action which
the committee has not authorized and
for it cannot be held responsible. In so
grave a matter as calling into ques-
ton the vote of New York
i'm the Electoral College too great
caG.ion cannot be exercised
The only way in which any contest
could be made with even shadow OF
probable success, would he by the rec
ton of the Republican electoral tickets
on which the word ELECTORS" has been
twice printed. This, believe, cannot
and should not be done. To change the
result in any other way, more than
10000 separate cases OF fraudulent or
corrupt voting would have to be proved.
Ii certsinly cannot be expected that the
present State Board OF Canvassers will
declare otherwise than is shown bv the
lace Of the returns, and my view OF the
Democratic doctrine leads me to hold
that Congress cannot go be-
hind the seal OF the State
TO investigate frauds at the polls
i'm the choice OF Presidential electors.
This being so. it seems to me that all
talk assuming to possess an official
character, about having the electoral
vote OF this State cast for Hancock, is
calculated to bring ridicule and reproach
on the Democratic party, and would
tend, il importance were given to 1t,
to produce still worse elect.
Those who would justify even as light
a departure from established laws and
forms as 10 count in General Hancock
In spirit OF revenge for the fraud OF '1G
in my opinion 90 lar to make the bad
precedent of that year rue for the iu-
ture, and would take long step
towards Mexicanizing our government.
Holding firmly to these views, am inn
PEELED to their public utterances
as member of the Democratic
State Committee and OF the
Executive Committee in order that
may not be considered to have 10y 81
lence acquiasced in what purports to be,
but is not, theauthorized action OF either
committee. Very truly yours,
