This message, In regular order, will be read to Congress from the manuseript next Monday, while every Congressman conscious of having a printed copy on his desk will listen drowslly, or ant- swer letters from importunate constituents, or chat with his nelghbor, or plot in’ his saind how he shall sectre a tearing for tho subject nearest his heart, Meantime the newspaper legion Is In a state of felzhtiul agitation over tho rumor that aitangements have been made © for stealing the message this year, 93 was done last yenr, and for printing If In a few newspapers in advance of an authorized publlestion, The President and hts hume- diate assoctates seem to be much concerned wt the same prospeets, and an elaborate sys- jem of guard duly—outlylig skirmishers, couriers, and relays—has been agreed upot to prevent the purloining of the ducunent, dust what the outcome of this struggle be- tween newspaper bandits and the Chicf Executive of tho American Governmentshall be cannot be foretold, but the Aimeriean people ast whole are exhibiting a lamenta- ble indliference to the matter, We can understand thot itis exceedingly annoying to the President of thls great Re- public to feel that with all his power and prestige he cannot avert the menace of burglary which may threaten the most ob- seure eltizen, but It fy, not iinprobable that he, or his offleinl household, or the practice of the Executlve Mansion ts purtly responsi- ble for the linpending danger. ‘To the or- dlnary wayfaring man it would scem to ben very slinple inatter- to protect an manuscript document from the eyes of Impertinent peo- ple and from the grasp of the thiof, It Is to be presumed in all enses that ‘the Presilent writes his, own messages; in the case of Presidont Inyes there 1s no doubt of ft. If he had written this message in his private room, locked It up In his private desk, and allowed it to remain there till the thne should come for sendiuz it to Congress, there would probably have been vo nppre- hensfon as to {ts premature pubileation, We are not sure but this would be the proper pro- cedure in any event. Instead of doing this, it lings become the custom to have oflicinl documents printed In advance of thelr public delivery, They go through soveral processes of revision, nnd are passed about in suek manner as to be within easy reach of: many persons. before they attain “maturity, Unfortunately, so-called newspaper onter- prise in some quarters has become synony- mons with theft, and hence It is not surpris- ing that even the odor of sanctity wileh per- yadeg n President's message ceases to bo a protection. But there ts anothor Vlew of tho case which may perhaps account for the public indiffer- ence to this weighty matter, ‘The Interest of a Presidential inossage is lnrgely discounted by the previous publication of the roports, or abstracts thoref, from the yarlous Departments which make up tho Executlve branch of tho Governmont, A student In public alfairs 1s already pretty well informed as to tho substance of the forthcoming mes- | sage, Certain reports from nearly atl the Departinents have turnished the public with ® good iden of the generat condition of the Governinent and the prinelpal recoinmuntda- tons that shall bo submitted to Congress, Even the Seeretary of the ‘reasury’s main poluts have come out with what may bere: Rurded as npproximato accuracy, nnd It may be safely assumed that President Ilayos will, now, 28 has been his habit in tho past, stand tlrmly by Mr, Sherman, ‘There is not lkely tobennything starting in the message by way of revealing things that have passed, or through prognostications as to the future, ‘Tho President himself takes this view of tho ease, ‘Cho chic Intorest in the doeument will bo found in tho review It will mato of Mr, Hayes’ Admiulstration, and its historfeat yatue will not be enhanced by public appear. ance aday oariior, nor Injured by a ttelay af twenty-four hours, Following u hereditary, if not nn original, igelluntion of the human heart, the people genoratly, and the office holders and office-seckors especially, have al- ready turned thelr faces toward tho riskyg: sun, Ce AN EXIRA SE38I0N OF CONGRESS, ‘Tho Democrats fn the present Congress are fond aul profase In their declarations that thoy do not want an extra session of Con- Kress, and thoy as earnestly declare that they desire tha presunt session to be “ exclusive- ly a business session!’ ‘They inthnato: that they have no purpose to furco upon an uns willing Administration mensures whieh thelr party hag advovated to the polut of revolue Hon during the lust five yours, but at tho same time the more conspleious Jeaders avow that they will never vote dollar to pay the Marshals and other officers under tho National Kleetion law, ‘This Is rank non- sense, Wodo not suppose that the Repub- Ileans havo any particular desire for an oxtrn session of Congress, but they ara not in # pasition to dictate to the Democrats, ‘The Democratic party has a large and well diselptined majority In both Hostses of Con- gress, ‘hoy ave master$ of the altuation, For flye years they “have struggled to repeal or otherwisa defeat. tha Natlonal Election Jaw, and have at last resorted to tho factious mwans of refusing to make appropriations to pay for oflicers whose ap- pointinents aro authorized aud directed ‘hy Jaw, and whose compensation Is alse estab- shed by Jaw, ‘The exponge bus been created dy law, and It will have to be pall wyentuallys ‘The withholding the appropriation fs a mere exhibition of sptte towards tho oftleers, ‘Tu continue tho struggle any longer, orto re- fuse appropriations for past and for future services, is pure folly, aud gives the negative 18 the professions of the party to make this a bhsiness rathor than partisan session, ‘Tho questlon of funding the outstanding 6 fund 6 percent bonds onght not to bea pare Usan anestion, On the tst of duly, 1880, the ‘total bonded dedtof the United States was $1,723,1109,000, of which S434,801,020 wero In 5. per cents and $25,780,400 wero In 6 per cents, ‘These O per cents were payable after Jan 1, 1831, aul the 5. per cents after July 1, 1881, ‘These two forms of Indebtedness combined amounted on Noy. 1, 1880, to $077,350,000, and all Co be paldor fund ed before Jitly, 188, At the last session a bill was proposed for authorizing a new boud bearing 84 per cent Inte which these bonds might be funded, but the bill dtd not pass, Ais expected the Secretary of the Treasury will now ast for authority to issue 93 per eent band, to da sold and thd proceeds to bo tipplled to the outstanding bonds, = {the aetiial amount of the fives and sixes redeontible In 1880 and Jn 1851 outstanding on tho tst of November, 1880, was ng follows: December, 180. oo $677,350.00 From this are to be deducted the redeny tlous and purchases made during the month of November, ‘Tho bil authorizing a 3!¢ per cent bond ought certainly provoke ne opposition, At the present imarket rate of 4 per cents, 112, the 334 percent witl certainly command par, ‘The millions of money now in tho hands of the people wilt promptly absarb all tho bonds to be issued, ‘The money, moreover, pald to the present holders of the fives and sixes when released niust seek now Investments, and there 1s nothing now offering in the way of public seeurttics that will be better than these new bonds, The annual charge for Interest on the pub- Me debt on July f, 1880, was $70,635,081, wiileh, Included the Interest on the bonds held in tha sinking fund.

This is a National meastre of such platn, direct, and obvious huportanes that there ought to be no controversy conecruing It. If, how- ever, tha Democratic majority shall refuse the necessary legisiatlon an extra session will bon necessity, There Is no aceagion for any hurry about g Congresstonnl apportionment, ‘Ihe Con.
