WASHINGTON, December 6.-The message
is very favorably received by members Of
Congress. A Republican Senator said of II
to day that no member of the Cabinet had
assisted in its preparation, but the docu.
ment was the Presidents own work from
beginning to end.
David Davis expressed himself to a group
of Senators on the adjournment OF the Sen
ate as being highly pleased with the docu-
ment. He called attention to the fact that
for the first time IN forty years a message
from a new President had been read which
contained no reference to the South and
outlined no destructive policy toward that
section. He lsughingly asked If it was not
about time for the parties to break up, as
they bad very little left to talk about, let
alone fight about.
The Cabinet nominations to go in to-mor-
row will pretty certainly he FrelinghuYsen,
for Secretary of State, and Brewster, for At
torney General. The retention Of Lincoln
has been conceded for some time, and to-
night It is known that Postmaster General
James will remain until the end OF the fiscal
year. This was not expected, aud was not
decidedly or positively settled until within
a day or two. Friends Of the President are
pleased with the arrangement, as it IN
doubtedly strengthens the party IN New
York and robs the hslf-breeds of the ability
to tsunt the President with throwing out all
the friends of Garfield.
Should the appointment Of Brewster for
Attorney General be made, IL will effectual-
ly dispose Of the suspicion that Arthur has
been disposed to shield the accused in the
star route cases.

The Opera-'sPatIenee.,'

The inquiries that have already been
made about seats for the opera season indi-
cate that Mr.. Ford's Comedy Opera Com
pauy, who commence an eng cement at
the Savannah Theatre on Friday evening
sill be greeted with large and fashionable
audiences. The operas are new and popu-

the stage effects. On the first night will be
presented Patience" q bright, sparkling,
artistic and amusing satire, by Gilbert IL
Sullivan, concerning the performance Of
which in Atlanta the Constitution has the
following to say:
"Mr. Charles Ford's company of thirty
artists did justice to the authors endeavOrs.
The subtle humor, the delicate art, the
sharp wit, the bright music, was well
brought out. We NAV have heard stronger
voices than some OF the cast possessed, yet
the singing was good, the cOstuming hand
some and the stage groupings effective.
The girls Topped and esthetically squirmed
in graceful manner, while the heavy dra-
goons with their uniforms appeared well.
II is a good company, and witnessing one
of their representations creates a desire for
another"
Call at Bren's to-day and secure your
seats

On Monday morning, in the Superior
Court, the case of the State VS.. Dave Viii
liams, colored, indicted for assault with in
tent to murder, was brought up and trial
was commenced. The crime was commit
ted IN June last on Kings plantation, on
the Savannah river, some distance from the
city, the victim, who was tackled with a
hoe, being James Mitchell, colored. The
evidence against the accused was well pre-
sented ard though the defense made a
strong case. yet they did not sue
coed in fully showing that Dave
was entirely blameless,or as innocent,
as lamb, and the impression
was that doubts would be easily adjusted,
and that verdict of conviction or acquit-
tai would be speedily rendered. It seems,
however, that there is some difficulty in the
jury harmonizing In their views They were
out nearly thirty hours up to the adj0urn-
ment of the court Yesterday afternoon, and
it was then reported there was 10 change iu
the status of sffairs. They given an
other night to ref ct over to- matter, but
the prospects sre there will to . mistrial.

was found that Sam. Ryan, the principal
witness, had disappeared. he had been

the morning, and had been seen about the
court house as late as one O'Clock. A
bailiff was at once dispatched in search Of

The street. Car Cutting AFFAIR.

Several weeks since 1t will be remember
ed that sn account was given in the MORN
ING News of the cutting of one David Bee
nett, anegro, by Frank Genera, a eonductor
on the Coast Line Railroad. Bennett had
been riding in Mr.. Genero's car and was very
bCsterous and was elected. He followed
the car and made demonstration, when Mr..
Genera cut him. II is also stated that Ben
nett drew a pistol. Mr.. Genera
was arrested on a warrant Issued
at the instance Of Bennett,
charging him with assault with intent to
murder. The case came up for hearing
before Magistrate Wsring Russell, Jr., yes
teTdaY morning, and a plumber OF Witnesses
were examined and thorough investiga-
ton was had, from which it plainly sp-
peared that the cutting was done in self
defense, and Mr.. Genera was discharged.
