CHICAGO, December 8.
An Inter-Occan's Washington special
says: The Presidents message will be the
longest he has ever written, covering
ninety five sheets Of large writing paper.
The salient points of the message as
learned on unquestioned authority, are as
follows: The prosperous condition of the
country is reviewed at length, with the
causes leading thereto, and contrasted
with its condition four years ago. The
Southern question is dwelt upon at
length, and steady improvement in the
South is claimed, although it is still be.
low the correct standing, as measures
must yet DO taken to prevent the sup.
preston of the colored vote, and secure
free ballot. He claims that progress has
been made in the civil service reform,
under his administration, although ad-
hitting great deal remains to be done
in reference to refunding He recites
Congress to tho exhaustive report of Sec
rotary Sherman, making no recommends
ton on the subject himself. He compli-
ments Secretary Schurz on his successful
management Of the Indian and foreign
affairs. The section devoted to the affairs
in Utah, are very emphatic, and will act
as bee in the bonnet of delegate Cannon,
of Utah, who has four wives at home,
and seat in Congress. There is no
installing tho tone Of this part of the
message. 1t is as anti-polygamist as any
document that has come from the White
House. The President makes no allusion
to his Utah visit last Summer, but argues
the question in general. 1t is as he has
done in previous messages, except that
his language this time is unusually strong.
He calls the attention of Congress to
their failure to provide to enforce the
national election laws. This portion OF
the address is highly sarcastic. He refers
to the fact that the fishery dispute, grow
ing out of disturbances at Fortune Bay,
is in fair way to satisfactory settlement.
He refers at length to the Chinese ques.
ton, and embodies the result of good
deal of information he collected on the
subject during his recent visit to the
Pacific Coast. Indeed, there is much in
the message which is the result of the
Presidents observations on his recent
tour to the Far West, and is embraced
under the head of Indian affairs, the pub
lie land system and Chinese question.
The message as whole is review of
the administration, and the most interest
ing portion is that which treats the
Southern question. On whole it is an
encouraging message; that is, there is
very little in it but what breathes hope
full spirit.
