THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Arthurs message to Con
gress YVES published on Wednesday. 1t
is a very long but not remarkable doc
ument, touching lightly upon those topics
most deserving of vigorous comment.
The message opens with an allusion to
the death of Garfield, couched in grace
full terms, and then treats at some length
of our foreign relations. There is moth
ing of much moment in this except
mention of the apprehension felt at the
continued war between Chill, Peru and
Bolivia. The abolition of all internal
revenue taxes is recommended, except
upon tobacco, distilled spirits and fer
mented liquors. The President thinks
it doubtful whether the taxes on liquor
and tobacco should be reduced Just at
present, but believes they may be soon.
The increase of enlisted men in the army
to 10000 is recommended. This does not
look like retrenchment. The popular
demand is for the sweeping away of ell
internal revenue taxation and reduction
of public expenses wherever practicable.
With a surplus in the treasury of one
hundred and thirty millions, it is idle to
assert that q decrease of expenditures is
not possible. The passage of acts to
break up the tribal relations of Indians
and allot land in severalty, is recon-
mended. The message speaks sharply
against polygamy and suggests that
certificates of marriage in the territories
be filed in the supreme court of the ter
ritory. There are some very pretty sen
timents expressed regarding civil service
reform but as there is no intention on the
part of either the administration or the
Republican majority in Congress to pay
any heed to the suggestions, it is hardly
worth while to specify them The mes
sage would occupy about eight columns
of the COLUMBIAN, but the main points
have been mentioned, 1t is a state pa
per that apart from its grammatical ac
curaoy and well worded sentences will
not rank high except that it bears eyi-
dence of being the personal work OF the
President, and expresses his own views

What Malone Intends Doing in Virginia,

In an interview with the New York
Times, Malone very freely expresses the
programme of the rcadjusters. After
electing Riddleberger to the United
States Senate, the next thing they will
do will be to pass the Riddleberger debt
bill This bill which scales the debt of
Virginia from S3l 100000 to $20,000,-
900 he says is as good as passed already,
as the people unmistakably expressed
themselves in favor of read justmcnt on
this basis in the last campaign. Malone
says the friends of the bill will not dis
cuss it, but after the "Bourbons' have
talked against it as much as they please,
the Legislature will fix day for taking
it up and passing it. When the debt bill
is passed the next thing, according to
Malone, is the repeal of the capitation
tax, so that there will be no longer tax
qualification for voting in Virginia. The
judges of the supreme court who are to
decide upon the readjustment law "will
be appointed early, and when all this is
done," Malone says, ''the Bourbon party
in Virginia won't have leg to stand
on" This is a very interesting pro
gramme and is especially edifying to the
''honest money Republicans Of the
North who supported Malone as the ad-
vocate of 'a grand and bene6cent politi-
cal reform"

SUE Of n Railroad.


Some months ago the North and West
Branch railroad, or what there was of it, was
put up at Sherilrs sale in Bloomsbury, and
was knocked down to Mr.. Charles Parrish
and others. With his accustomed push Mr..
Parrish at once entered actively npOn the
construction of the road 1t had lain for
years waiting for some party to take hold of
it. Efforts had been made time and again to
get the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in
terested in the building of 1t, but they held
aloof thinking that there was no use paying
large sum of money to get IL in their pos
session when eventually it would drop in
their laps like ripe plum. But after the
Bloomsbury sale and the subsequent work
done in grading and constructing the new
line, the Pennsylvania management saw that
the time for delay had passed. Their first
step was to place obstacles in the way of
the building Of the road around the narrows
at Nantcoke. The courts were appealed to
and the Pennsylvania Co. were compelled
to allow passage over their lands. Soon
after this, negotiations were opened for its
purchase, and in short time the bargain
was made and controlling interest in the
line was transferred to the Pennsylvania COM
pany. Mr.. Charles Parrish retains large
share in the road, and will continue to take
an active part in its direction and manage
ment. A large force of men will be kept at
work and by the first of next August the road
will be opened to Wilkes-Darre and ready for
travel. 1t has been rumored on the streets
that an agent of the Pennsylvania company
had purchased the Jennings property on the
corner of Canal and Market streets for II de-
pot, freight houses and so forth, but it is not
correct. That company has not purchased
any property in this city Wilkes Barre Ua-

Judge Noah Davis, of New York, in
charging the jury in the case of Mrs.
Coleman, charged with murder, made
use of the following language, which ap
plies with great pertinency to the case
of Guiteau:

and private wrong under delusion, "A belief
that some great public benefit would flow
from it, when the nature Of the act done and
its probable consequences and that it is in
itself wrong are known to the actor, can
amount to that insanity which in law disarms
the act of criminality. Under such rotions of
legal insanity life, property and rights, both
public and private would be altogether inse-
cure; and every man who, by broodng over
his wrongs, real or imaginary, shall work
himself up to an irresistible impulse to
avenge himself or his friends or his party,
can with impunity become II self-elected
Judge, jury and executioner in his own case
for the redress of his own injuries or the
imaginary wrongs of his friends, his party
or his country. But happily that is not the
law: so whenever such ideas Of insanity are
applied to given case at the law (as too Of
ten they have been), crime escapes punish
ment, not through the legal insanity of the,
accused but through the emotional insanity Of
courts and iuries,
