The Message ofPresident Hayes.

Q
office, or whatever may be the cir
cumstances OF the country at the
/ time. Just now nothing startling
exists in public affairs, and the Mes
sage is relatively un-important on
that account. The reports made of
the affairs OF the several departments
show that prosperity abounds, and
the signs of the times all point tow
ard undisturbed prosperity at home
I and abroad.
I The message contains some views
which will encounter bitter opposi-
ton, and others that vii. receive less
open bat really more earnest hostlii-
ty. The recommendations in regard
TO silver aud greenbacks will meet
with determined opposition, and
Justly, too. DIR. Hayes would stop
the coinage of GU tor the present,
at least, and also pay of and retire
the other. He is not in harmony
with the party on either point, or
with the country. Tais is especially
true as regards greeubacks. They
are indeed debt, but they are also
most excellent currency. But
there is 10 occasion for alarm. The
extreme views OF President Hayes
will not be embodied in law. There
are men in both parties who would
favor such measures, but IN neither
party do they constitute majority.
Another suggestion which VIII be
tattery opposed relates 10 General
Grant He recommends that ne be
made Captain General Of the army.
A few Republicans may oppose i
and u few Democrats favor II; bat
Tor The most part the division upon
it will follow party lines, No such
act OF justice can be expected from
the "BrigadieIs " Very likely the
next Congress viii 90 it. Ia any
event, this feature Of the Message
was graceful Tribute to the great
hero of tne war.
A good deal Of space is devoted to
the civil service. No one can really
doubt the sincerity Of the Presidents
devotion 10 the idea OF a non parti'
san civil service. At the same time,
il must be admitted thar nearly al
his appointets have been aud are
Republicans II is sale to say that
SUCH pal tlaau appointments viii al
ways be made under our system oil
government. 1t would be absurd to
expect the chief Office of the nation
to be filed by party, and there an
end But there is, ON the other
band, no danger Of too little politics
in the distribution OF patronage. aDd
~ far as MIR Hayes has been able &c
exert any Influence in the uou parti
san direction. i. has been emiuent,y
wholesome. There are not, We pre-
sumo, dOzeu men III both houses
o, Congress whoW ,uld, il they could,
carry out the theory OF civli-sery!ce
appointments laid down ia the Mes
sage white, on the other hand, there
are hardly that number who would
openly repudiata them, and very
many of tie members are IN favor OF
earring out the doctiue to quite
rs tnl at extent rs Air. Hayes has
carried it in the practical Affairs OF
his Administration.
The most important feature Of the
message, after all, is the Que relating

over backwards out of his sleigh last
Saturday morning, striking his head on
the ice, and sustaining very severe if
not serious injury. He was at the foot
of the stairs by his office, which is over
T. c. Fletcher & Co.'S, and while stand
ing up ID the sleigh, his horse gave a
sudden start. His head was badly cut,
and he was insensible for some time,
but at the present writing he is much
better, and no serious results are antic-
ipated.
We learn that j. D. StOddard, Esq,
met with painful accident last Satur-
day. He is living with his son-in-law,
Mr.. Fred. E. Carpenter, and he has
been more feeble than usual this win
ter. While left in the room alone for a
few moments Saturday morning, he
undertook to walk across the room and
fell upon the stove, burning the inside
of one of his hands severely. The
wound is an exceedingly painful one,
and may prove serious at his advanced
age and in his enfeebled condition.

they thought they would slide down the
little bill at Patrick Glynn's. Directly
at the foot of this hill is one of the
many blind railroad crossings in our
town; but what do children of that
age thlnk or care for railroad crossings
A little way behind the boys was H. E.
Randall, who saw them get upon the
sled and start down the hill, and at
same time heard the mail train whistle
In from the north. He was too far
away to stop the boys or see the track
where the sled struck it, but he was in
season to find George up by the fence
on the west side of the track, and Wal
lace lying alongside the outer rail on
the opposite side of the track, and
neither much hurt. George had one
knee hurt little, and was shut in day
OF two, and Wallace came off with a
barked shin; but he stuck to the mail
which he held Rugged up to him with
both arms. No one saw the boys when
the engine struck the sled, not even the
engineer, but it is supposed from the
position the boys were found in that the
nose of the ow-catcher struck the sled
between the boys. Wallace was sitting
down upon the front of the sled, and
George was behind him, side-saddle,
with his back partially to the engine.
The sled was not found. 1t was one of
the most remarkable escapes from Sc
we're injury that we have ever heard of /;
and it is no small wonder that they
were not both killed.
