Among the recommondations made by tho Prosident in his mossago is an amendment to the Nattooal Constitution incorporating the principlo of what is known in this Stato s the s+ Mayor's bill,” wheroby $lie Exocutive cau ap- prove portions of an appropriation act and dis- spprove of the rest. Tho recommondation is & wise ono. If adopted, it would break up the groat abusa which is now practiced of loading an appropriation bill with all manuor of jobs, wnd forolng the Preeldent to approve or voto tho whole, The result of the recont eleclion for members of tho Goneral Anserably of tho Gorman Empira is stated as follows: National Liberals, 177; Party of Progress, 68; TFree Conservatives, 40; New Conservatives, 21; O1d Conservatives, 6 Miuleters, 10; Ultromontanes, 85; and Particu- larists, 22; total, 430, Tho majority needed by wora quict and flem, at $1.766@4.67}¢ por 100 b, Tlour was quiot nnd dteady at $6.60@5.75 for good spring oxtras.

Tho cattle and shoop ynarkets wore frmor, and o triflo moro nativo. Thie Prosidont han appointed tho presont At- tornoy-Goneral, Goorgo H. Willlams, to the ofiico of Chiof Justico of tho Supromo Court. MMy, Willisms' public lifo bogan as s Judge of n State Court iu Oregon, While holding that offico o wns elected to tho United States Sen- ate, where ho sorved slx years. IIo was thon appointod & mombor of the Joint High Commis- slon which propared tho Alabama Claime trealy with Great Dritain, Upon tho rosignation of Mr. Alkerman, ho wns made Attorney-Gonoral, and hian now beou nppointed Chief Justico, Mr. Williams, while not pogsoseing iho high qualitios popularly expeetod of n succossor of Jay, Mar- ahall, Taney, sud Chao, 18, novertholeas, s wan of respectablo talonts and chursotor. Tho ap- pointment ia o bettor ono than that of Mr. Conkling would havo boon. Itis a better one, wo think, than was genoraily espoctod, Of tho two propositions brought bofore tho Honate for o ohaugo in the mothod of ohoosing tho Prosidont of tho United Btatos, that of Mr. Morton is likely to commnand much moro favor- able consideration than Mr. Sumpor's. Mr. Sumnor proposes a radical chango to an olostion by popular vote of tho wholo country, thus abolishing Stato lines so far as tho National Exoccutive is concorned, and abolishing tho offico of Vica-President alto- gothor. Thero Will bo sorious doubts in all aoctions of tho country about tha ndvisability of this radical doparture from the Fodoral system, Mr. Morton's proposition, on tho other hand, roooguizes the Fedoral priuciple by the district votos, ench State having & numboer of votes equal to the numbor of Cougressional Districts it conteing, which it casts according tothe volcool ho sevoral districts, instoad of casting ono voto, determived by tho majority of the peoplo of tho the Governmont is 216, for which it rolics upon tho National Liberals and Party of Progross, which, combined, will giva it 30 moro than & ma- jority. In roligious affairs, however, there aro soveral mombers of this majorily who are op- posed to the presont sevare policy of the Em- pire. It cannot have oscaped the attontion of the public that Gov, Palmor's attitude in tho Gil- man, Clinton & Springfield Rnilroad caso s simply that of an attorney omploying all lawful means to setve his clients. Although 1t beeamo necessary for him, a8 a last resort, to bring an action before Judgo Tront against the Gil- man, Clinton & Springflold Railroad Company, who wore his clients in the former case before Judge Tipton, his duties plajnly required himn not to abandon the property in dispute so long aa any fair means remained to rolain possession. Arguments wore mado beforo Judge Treat yoa- terday on the question of the jurisdiction of the United States Diatrict Court over the subject msiter. aa rosulted in a now soct which was formed yoeterday in New York, It is known ns the Roformed Episcopa- lien Church., The meeting of yontorday stylod itself tho Furst Council of that denomination. The resclutions which it adoptod will bo apt to ecxcite considerable stir in orthodox Epiacopal oiroles, Episcopacy they declare to be not a Divino institution, but merely & very anciont and desirable form of worship, and they reject the notion that tho Church of Christ exists only in accordance with ono form of ecclosinstical polity. Ministors of othor ovangelical donominations will bo nd- mitted to the new Church without reordination upon passing w estisfactory examination, and members of other denominations are recoived with oqual liberality. Thoy acospt the Prayer- Book of 1785, but asaort their right to alter it as they think best. Congresa did little yestorday but listen to tho Prosidont’s moasage, which, ag well ay Becrotary Richardson's report, fs roferred to clsowhere, JMr. Bumner endeavorod to gain the ocar of the 3enato for bis now Civil Righta bill, but failed, In the House, seversl rosolutions wero adopted, Onoof thom instructs the Judiciary Committes to oxamine tho facts of the oporation of the Bankruptoy law, and report such amend- ments as will eimplify proceedings takon undor i, and reduce their cost. The fortile subject of compromises by the Treasury Dopartment of suita brought for viola- Mons of the Revenus lawe was bronght up by Br. Oawen. Ho offerad a resolution, whioh was passed, direoting the Becretary of the Troasury to report what amounts his Department has ro- coived from auch sottloments by the Now York snd Boston Custom-Houses, and what sums were paid to Informers snd all othar parties. There was an extouded argnmeut yostorday before Unitod Btates Judge Troat on the motion to dismies the injunolion whioh ke State. Theroisno doubt that this plan will bring out o fairer expression of the peopla's choico without sacrificing the recognized inde- pendenco of State votes. It also bas the merit of abolishing tho uscloss machinery of tho ZEieotoral College, Whatever change is made in tho modo of clecting the President, it shounld bo rccompauted by a constitutional smendment making the Presidont inoligible to asecond t rm. The firat day of Congress was marked byY the introduction of soveral bills to ropesl the Balary- Grab law, Sepator Wright, of lowa, proposes to ropeal tho increase of the salary of moembors of Congross, but to loave that of the Presidont a¢ $50,000 until the closo of the presont Admin- istration, when it shall bo $25,000. Senator Contding has been splitting hairs ever since last March concorning the powar of a momber of Congress to roturn to the Troasury tho back-pay voted at tho last session, and now offers a bill to make such roturn legal, It is to bo hopod that no such Dbill for the relief of idiots will pasy. The provailing sontiment seems to bo in favor of & repeal of tho law, 80 far as Congrosa is con- cernod, end 80 far a8 tho present Congross is involved, loss tho monoy salready drawn. Tach member of tho prosont Congress has alroady rocoived nino monthe' foxward pay, or 86,125, bo- fore toking his scat. Toropeal the Salary bill will o to leave him but $3,875 for tho remain- ing fiftoen months of his timo. The mombers objoct to diegorging, and will probably rotain the high salary for the yoar ending in March, and for tho yoor to follow will take 85,000 with wilenge. 'This, howover, will not satisfy tho country, The people demand the unconditional roponl of the Grab Iaw in tho very words in which it stands, boglnlog ot laat March, and anything lesa than this will bo visited with pop- ular indignation. o e ] The tyranny of perty in genoral, and the folly of the Democratio party in particular, wero illus- tratod simultaneously by the holding of a Demo- cuatio caucus just prior to the sssombling of Congreas. With a clear majority of two-thirds sgainst them, tho Domocrats of the House woro detormined to porpotuate tho traditional absurd- ity of sticking together as o party through thick and thin, oven aftlie sacrifice of the lufluonce thoy might otherwiso exert by freedom of aotion; and by au elliance with tho right side whon tho majorily party is divided on sny quostion. The attachmont of tho Domocratio party to the cor- rupt school of politic was further illustrated by the refusal of tho caucus to adopt a resolution condemnatory of the salary-grabbers, and also by the persistent choice of Fornando Wood as the Democratls nomineo for Bpeaker, ‘Thero was only ono saving feature =bout this action,—the withdrawal of Mr. Cox, of New York, and Me Holman, of Indians, from the caucus, whon ithad committod itsolt to this atiltude on tho salary-grab. The fact that Mr, Qox received tweuty-ono Demooratic votes for Bpeaker, In opposition to the oaucus candi- date, Fernando Wood, snd in spile of his an- nouncement that he wag not s oandidate, makes granted 1n the Gilman, Clinton & Bpring- fleld Railroad case, Tho motion to dis- wmiss was supported in mn elaborate argument, which will be found elsewhere, in which Mr, Orawford holds that the Rocelver appoluted by the MoLean County Court cannot logally be interfered with by Judge Treat, Qov. Palmer, on the othor hand, contended that tho Recelvora appoiated by Judge Tipton bad no right to take poesemsion of the road, as, in acoordanco with the provisions of the deod of trust concornlog defsult of interest, it hed already reverted to the Boott party, Judge Tipton's order was dircoted sgalnat the Railroad Company, but the Camipany bad already forfeited the rosd to the other party, & The Chicago produce markots wore generally otyior yosterday, witlu a fair sggrogato of traus. aotions, Maua pork was sotive, and 80c per bri lower, closlng at $12.00 cash, and ¥13.85@13,00 soller Fobruary, Lard was loss aotive, aud 100 per 100 e lower, at $7.85@7.40 cash, and §7.85 @1.90 geller Fobruary.

Dre od hogs it appoar that there are about twenty-two Demo- cratio membera of the House who are reative under old party reatraiut, and are not afraid to kick ovor the traces once in a while, This {s n good beginning, and, if that number aot inde- pondently on sll ccoasione, thoy msay be able somstimes to defeat comblnations between the two partien for corrupt purposos. e Beorotary Richardson's roport states the total veceipts of the Tronsury during tho last year at §839,748,204, Exclusivo of tho debt, the ox- ponditures havo beon 200,845,246, Ho cati~ matos u deficloney in rovenuo for the coming yoar of §18,510,000, 'Tho piacing of toa and coffea un tho tree list hau caudad & uorious loss in rovenuo, ‘I'hls, the Becrotary says, wlll neccssitate the groatcst possiblo economy in exponditures and appropristions, and bo rodommends that if the yecoipts from custorns and iuternal revenue do not rieo ubovo thorate of the lasé throe months, wdditions! taxation bo levied by Congrose, The rocont panic, and the actlon of the Gov- ormnent thoreto, are roviewed ot considerable lougth, sud loud to o discussion of the two ques- tions of tho paymont of intarcst on dopouits, and the relysue of the legal-tender reserve, The payment of intoreat on demand-de- posits s declared perniclous In every way. It attrnots o large quantity of eurronoy to monctary controg, which i Joauod to speeu- lators and otlier lllogitimato business men, ‘Whon tho cropn nood to bo moved or some othor necossity nrives, overybody—banks, dopouitors, speculators, and borrowora—waut it at tho namo time, and tho inavitable result is ombnrrassmont all around, Nothing can bo dono with the Biato banks, but he recommends that the Natioual Banks bo pravented from paying intorest on do- posits by & systont of dizoriminative taxation on dpposits, demand and other. 'Tho Seorolary arguos strongly in favor of an elastic curroncy, and o spoody nnd permanont roturn to spoclo paymontd and tho gold - standard, but submils no schiomes of his own, and eatlofios himaelt with an invitation to Qongross to take hold of these knotty quostions, o thinks somo relief wight bo afforded by allowing tho banks to vso their resorves undor strict rogulations, in cago of monotary stringoucy, I1fo looks forward to one larging tho papor-monoy olroulation of the coun- try for tomporary ncods by pormitting the Na- tional Banks to insuo additional notes, sooured by United States bouds not bearing inter- oat, rogulations Dboing provided, as lho oxplaing, to compol the ratiring of tho notes ag Boon ns they hccomo unuoccessary. As to tho legnl-tonder rosorves, ho lusisty that tho Troas- ury has tho legal right to raluo tho currency up to 400,000,000 whon it deems It advisable, but mske that Congross mottle tho cou- troversy Dby womo distinot ecuactment, IIe rocommonds that tho §41,000,000 in disputo Lo doclared n rosorve to boissuod temporarily when tho domands on tho Tronsury call for such uction, aud to bo roeturned Lo the reserve whon no longor nooded, The tariff and the condition of shipping aro troated briofly, Bomo technisal modifieations are suggosted in the former.

"I'ho firat thing that arreats our attontion in tho Prosidenl’s messago i ita oxtrome length. 1to gonoral offact 18 marred by tho multiplicity of subjocts treated, desconding to a varicty of unimportant dotails drawn from tho dust-bin of tho buroaus snd departments, The matter of most immediats intorest, of courwe, is that portion rolating to the Cuban question. The DPresident’s treatmont of this subjoct is highly commendable. Ho hias pointod out the reel causo of tho turmoil fn that rich but unbappy island, It is the sys- tom of human slavery which exists there. Tho pro-slavery aristocracy of Cuba is o constant ‘moungco to the omo Governmont of Bpaiu, and slevory itselt is a thorn in tho side of civiliza- tion. Itis truo that wo havo not boen rid of it long onough to fit us for missionary sorvice in that bohalf, but the faot romains that, eo long as slavery oxists in Cuba, thore will be dissension, rovolution, burbarity, and bloodshiod. Ite oxist- enceis in contravention of tho spirit of tho ngo, and the country which supports or tolorates it must suffor tho pains of tho struggle that civilization will constantly make to uproot it. Prosident Grant Dbolioves that Ouba will nover Lo at pence, and that Bpain will nover be ablo to assert its full authority fu the 1sland until slavery is abolished. In this o i3 right, and it is o clear intimation that 8pain or the Cubans should take more ofiiciont mons- ures thau any horetofore adopted to rid the isl- and of its grostourse. He doos not intimate, lowever, that tho United Btatos have any special duty in tho promises. In fact, ho confirms tho porceful golution of the controversy arising out of the eapturc ot the Virginius, and rofors to it throughout in & spirit of fairness and con- sorvatismn. His utterances on the subjoct of sglavory aro of a character that ought to attrast the attention of forcign nations, and of Spain first of all. Tho noxt topic of intorost fs tho national finances and tho curroncy quostion. It is not to be oxpected that tho President should under- stand vory thoroughly o subjoct which enlls for & training and courso of study he has never enjoyed, and which is, of all others, difiieult to master. His handling of It does not leavo on tho mind of the reuder any deflnite conception of what his viows are, but we can make out from it that ho fu opposed to “‘unduo inflation," aud that ho ia in favor of apecie puymonts whenever wo get spocie onough for the purpose, Ho does pot secm to recognizo any distinction betweon capital and currency, Ho usecs thosotorms inter- changoably, in ordor to show that, aa ndustry aud commorco increaso, more curronoy is wanted to carry thom on—ths real fact being that the mororapidly induatry and commerce Incrense, tho more completely do checks and drafts suporsedo the usae of currenoy, and ronder it uunocessary. It is truo, however, 28 tho Prosidont says, that moro currenoy is noedod st some acasons of the yoar than at others ; and for the roason that pay- mont for tho crops must boinade at interior poluts whero oheoks and drafts will not avail, Tho Presidont says truly that the restoration of 5 epocia Lisis is the truo mothod of giving elas- ticity to tho curronoy, He seoms to recommend & plan for giving elasticlty to tha currency with- out a speolo baslg, but as wo fail to comprehend it, wo forbedr to comment upon it, In conclu- sion, hio says that his romarks ou the whole sub- Joct aro to bo taken as suggostions rather than recommendations, and that he will approve any bill thet Oongross may puss. Ho rocommonds that the mvoluntary clauses of the Bankruptoy act bo ropoaled, on the ground that, in a time of gonoral atringency like the progent, croditors make use of it to annoy dobtors, Aslhodous not show how croditors would aunoy debtors any less after the ropesl, wo nhall Linve to wait till Senstor Mortonauawers that conundrum, Tho subjoot of Cheap Transportation s re- forred to the Jofut Committee of Congress on that subject without recommondation, except that it would bo well to plodge the faith of tho nation to keep the Hudson River, the 8t, Clair Flats, aud tho Nlinots and Mississippl Rivers in good, navigable condition, provided the Btatea of Now York and Illincis will enlarge tlie canals withiln their respoctive Umits, To “roguin onr lost comwmerco™ ho imggests that u navel veesel Lo weut up tho Awnzon River, to look for it vu the continos of Bolivia, It they don't find 1¢, no havm will he doue, o rocommenda the crestion of » Commission to distribute tho Alabams award to the persous and corporations entitled to roceive It, "Horeports tho rocommendation of the Post- mestor-Gouoral In favor of postal wavings banks, but makes no recomtmaendation on the anbject of poatal tolegraph, Tuview of tho deeling In the rovenues, ho recommandy & discontinuance of nppropriations for public buildings whero worl husnot been actually commenced, sud slio for river sud harbor lm;:rovdmlnn in places where little ben- efitis to be derived therefrom. Ie favors ihe policy, however, of orecting, at nomo future time, at public oxpenne, residoncon for memborn of tho Cabinct, with n view of oncouraging tho Btaten to oroct almilar renidoncos for their Son- ators! Why ot for theiv Roprosontatives also ? I'hoyo avo tho chiof polnts in tho message. It is vory much fn tho style of his provious mon- sagon, tho only differonco boing that thero ia moro of It THE CITY TREASURY, Tue Tripune of Jast Monday recapitulated somo of tho most glaring defaleations that have ocourrod of lalo 1n ofilces of publia trust, with tho purposo of showing tho neceusity for estab- llshing n syotom of Bub-Troamivies for tho safo- kooping of Stato and muuleipal funds. The Staats-Zeitung hns mado this article tho pratoxt for giving curronoy to & numbor of rumors, in- timating thet Ifr, David A. Gage will not be able to pay over olther principsl or Interost of tho clty funds to his successor, 'T'ho Staats-Zeitung says thnt our proposition (viz.t thoat tho law ehould require tho custo- dians of publio funds to havo depositorics of thoir own, disconncoted from all banks) s excol- lont, but that wo held procisoly tho opposite viow four years ago whon wo opposed tho Hes- ing-Salonion combination, and also in tho recont cleotion,~in tho firet instanco by advocating the oloction of Mr. Gage beesnse ho had promised to pay tho intorcst on tho public funda to the city, and, in tho socond nstanco, by advocating Lis ro-clection becawse ho had so paid over £180,000. Wo do not remember that any discus- sion was had four years ago on the nubjeot of keeping tho public funds in & vault owned and controlled by tho eily. A pruotico oxistod of dopositing tho city money in bauks and ailowing tho City Trensurer to pocket tho interent. Wo objeeted to that practico, and we object to it still. Our position was that, if any money was enrned in this way, it should go into the City Troasury. We thoroforo sdvocatod tho _olection of tho only candidate who promisod to improve on tho existing practico, convinced that, if the elty funds wero to draw intorcat, it would be botter that thia intorcst should b returped to tho city than to havo it gabbled up by a ring of politiciana. Mr. O'IMara, tho now City Troau- uroer, Liag indorsod thia plan by promising to pay the ncorulng interest Into tho City Tronsury. With rogerd to Mr. Gago's truat, the Slaals- Zeitung saye that thero are rumors that (1) Mr. Gago lins placed tho city funds in the weskest banks in Chicago in order to securo tho largest rato of interest ; (2) that ho bas beon betrayed iuto spoculations that have turned out badly ; (8) that ho has made ovor all his privato proporty to bis bondsmen, who have thorcupon sgreed to make good bis accounts ag City Trensurer; snd (4) that, in making good Mr. Gage's sccounts, hia bondsmen will rofuso to make up the $180,000 intorest which Mr. Gago has already reported, on tha ground that thoy cannot be hicld in law for this amount, Wo assumo that all thoeo rumors aro falso nnd libolous, except tho last ono. Of courso Mr., Goge's bondsmon never became re- sponsible for the intorost on the city monoy, and there is no ronson why they should volun- tarily onlarge their responsibility. Mr. Gago is rosponsible for it, however, morally if not logal- ly, and ho will, we doubt not, pay it over. It happened that when tho panto gamo on, in Sep- tembor, ho had $15,000 dopoy, in the Manu- facturors’ National Bank and $115,000 in tho Socond National Bank—£180,000 in oll. This is the amount which the Comptroller cortifios 3r. Gogo has turned into tho Treasury ss in- torost ou the city doposits, and which is 180,000 timos moro than sny orall of his predecessors puid, If Mr. Gago pays over to his succossor all tho moneys placed in hia hands as Tronsurer, porliaps the Zeifung will allow him & roasonsblo timo to collect from a couple of susponded banks the sum which he proposes to donate to tho tax- payers. Mark this, howovor, Mr. Gago is bound in honor to turn over to his succossor $180,000 more than ho is bound in lawto turn over. Thoro s no filnching from this, Thoe sooner Mr, O'Hars, the now Oity Treas- urer, qualifios, tho soonar will ko get possession of thocity funds., Inthomeantima,itisbolhbese and cowardly to attack Mr. Gage's private chiar- nctor—for that io what the Zeitung's articlo smounts to. Tho glowlog contrast drawn by the Zeitung betweon Mr. Gege and Mr, Rumsey, lete County Trogsuror, chowing how the latter turned ovor to Mr, Millor, the new County Treasurer, “hard money,” counted out over the table, is certainly very gratifying. But AMr. Rumsey, while he unquestionably waa sble to turn over his money undor any circumstances, had facilitios for displaying it on tho table which 3fr, Gago does not possoss. Ar. Miller's bondsmon aro protiy much tho same ay Mr, Rumsoy's were, and the county funds aro deposited in about tho same banks., After the money was produced and dig- played on the table, it wont back into tho same places from which it came, and tho financisl oquilibrium was not disturbod. This is not to | be exactly the procoes of Mr. Gago's settlemont. Bu¢ wo will not auticipato ; and when it comes Mr, O'Hars's turn to pay over to his succosgor, wo will weit till ho fails to do so befors wo pro- nounce him a defaulter. A BAD LOT. The following parsgraph from the recent ed- dress of Mr. Waldo M, Potter, of tho Davone port, Gazelte, botore the Towa Pross Association, was intended to apply to the Chicago Times: The editor who cares not for the moral reaults of hin wark Is un {ntollectual deon.

Thero is another point of view from which the condition of theso illustrious eriminals should be regarded in our ples for humanity. Take the caso of BStokes, for instance.

It Fisk, on the otler hand, did not draw a pistol, thon Btokes was guilty of murder. In tho latter caso, he ought to have beon hanged.
