CANNOT BE A CANDIDATE.

ALEX ANDRIA, July IL.
Mr.. Dear Sir: duly received your very
kind favor some time ago in reference to the
Gubernatorial nomination by the democratic
convention, at Richmond, on the Goth inst,
and should have answered it more promptly
but for the incessant demand upon my time
and the pressure of public engagements.
l highly appreciate the compliment, and
am very grateful to my friends for the re-
quest to allow my name to 60 before the
convention as above, but would be COM
PEELED by circumstances to decline the
nomination if rendered.
The reasons which impel me to take this
course are conclusive to my mind, and
hope will be satisfactory to my friends.
am, in haste, yours very truly,
JOHN s. BARBOUR.

THE MORNING republican organ. of Wash
ington is sorely disturbed because the labor
of negro Migrants in Kentucky is let out to
contract for the periods of their imprison-
ment. But it has nothing to say about the
system in some of the New England States
of letting out the labor of the white paupers
of those States to the highest bidder, nor OF
the similar system that prevailed in North
Carolina, when the carpet bag republicans
and negroes held possession of that State,
under which white girls were let out to ne
gro bidders-a crime that has made North
Carolina democratic State foreyermore.

three white prisoners escaped, but were
soon after recaptured. 1t seems that the

advantage of the absence of the guards from

plan of escape. They forced portion of

by means of rope made of blankets and
bed-ticking, they lowered themselves to the
inner yards. Then, with the aid of the same
rope and on iron hook, they pulled them.

THE PREsIpENT's MESSAGE.

President Clevelands message to
Congress is said to be lengthy and
conservative document, containing &c.
600 words. 1t does not favor hori-
zontal reduction in the tariff, but re-
commends changes that will remove the
antiquities in the existing law. 1t is
outspoken on the Civil Service question,
and expresses the purpose of the Presi.
dentto extend the system to all branches
of the public service. 1t urges the i'm.
portance of providing literally for the
building of navy, and recommends
that Indian reservations be reduced in
area and that part of each be divided
into suitable tracts for farms and allot-
ted in severality to the Indians. He
suggests that what remains of the
public domain should be reserved
for actual settlers, and that the laws
permitting large tracts to be taken up
by individuals and corporations should
be repealed. He is opposed to subsi.
dizing steamship lines and thinks that
vessels enjoying the protection of the
American flag should be compelled to
carry the mails at reasonable rates. He
thinks the restoration of American com.
merce cannot be accomplished by subsi.
dies, but that much may be done in that
direction by legislation. The introduce
ton and consideration Of local bills,
especially those for claims, he thinks,
has pernicious influence on legislation,
as has, also, the postponement of i'm.
portant measures until the last of the
session. He condemns the policy Of
accumulating millions of useless and, in
his opinion. Unnecessary snrplus in the
Treasury, as il indirectly but surely adds
to the cost of living He thinks the
policy Of the Government should be to
care for the peoples needs as they
actually arise and to devise remedies for
wrongs as they appear. He expresses
himself at great length on questions of
administrative policy, and recommends
the preservation OF the national forests
by enacting laws to arrest their unne-
cessary destruction.
1t is stated that the message embodies
the views expressed by the President
On the silver question in the letter writ
ten by him prior to his Inauguration.
This might be expected from the reports
OF the United States Treasurer, which
is emphatically against silver and the
continuance of the coinage of standard
dollars.

Both Houses of Congress were organ
lied Monday-one by the election of
Carlisle, Speaker, and the other by the
election of Sherman, Pre- sident pro tenn.
Yesterday the Presidents message was
sent to both Houses. The Senate com.
mittees were all appointed at the special
session of that body last March. and
they will continue during the present
Congress, unless the Senate, under
Sherman's sway, desires to remodel
them. The appointments made by the
President during the Summer recess are
required by law to be sent to the Sen.
ate for action within thirty days after
its organization, for confirm alton or re-
lection.
In the House the Speaker has to ap-
point new committees, and the appoint.
ments. it is thought, will not be com
pleted before the end Of the week. 1t
is not probable, therefore, that any
legislation will be attempted before
next week, as proposition to change
the rules of the House is likely to be
discussed to a considerable extent.
A bill to establish the succession to
the Presidency, it is thought, will be
be among the first introduced. Such a
bill passed the Senate last Winter, but
as it was not acted upon in the House,
it will have to be again introduced in
the Senate.

report of the committee on resolutions,
that the remedy Of boycott" had been

resort to it for trivial causes and there
were instances, where rival fac

ton, therefore, diScountenanced such
proc, edingS and deprecat d it on ac-
count of the odium cast upon the work

adopted, calling upon the President to
