A SYNO} Rovelat D7oatca to The Chicago Tribune, New York, Dec. 3.—The first message of tho President to the new Congress has been looked for with some anxiety as indicating the policy of the new Administration. Itturns out to be a dignified and highly con- servative document. Following is a synopsis of the message: GARFIELD. ‘The President opens with a graceful and sym- pathetic tribute to the late President Garfield, and expresses the hope that the same generous leniency of criticism and cordial codperation that he received will be extended to nimself. He regards the spontaneous outburst of sym~- pathy from ali sections. for the mur- dered Chiet Magistrate us one of the most con- yincing evidences of a complete restoranon of good feeling throuzhout the country. FOREIGN. Passing from this theme the President con- gratulates the people on the peaceful attitude of foreign nations to the American Kepublic. The recent centennial celebration at Yorktown not only cemented the ties that bind us to the mother country, but was the occasion of interna- tional courtesies from Germany and France, and guve opportunity to receive the delegation of those lands with a gratitying exhibition of cor- diality. The appointment of a commission to take action in reeurd to our relations with Chili ana Veru will, it is hoped, result in the complete restoration of peaceful relations be- tween those countries. NAVAL. The President calls attention to the necessity Toran increase in our navy. While there is at present no danger of war with any foreiga Power, it must nut be forgotten that the xreat commercial citiesof tae Atlantic and Pacitic Coast are largely at tho mercy of an Invading foreign fleet. We bave the material and the labor requisit for building ships. und it (e the maxim of prudence to prepare for war in time of peace. The expense will he so extended burdensome to the people. FINANCIAL. The rapid reduction of the public debt is a rratifying exhibition of the tnancial prosperity of the country. The revenue now ratsed is am- Plefor the need: of the Government, and the question arises whether it may not afford an op~ portunity for reduction in some branches of in- teroal-reyenue taxation. PROTECTION. Under a wise system of protection to our na- tive industries, we bave steadily advanced in ul the industriz! arts, and buve been enabled dot only to supply our own wants at nome, but josend our munufactures abroad and create a sonstantly ipcreasing demand for them. THE INDIANS. The policy pursued in reference to the aborig- ines fs bearing good fruitin au increased in- terest manifested by thom in regard to agri- tuhture. education, and the acquisition of per- manent homes. It willbe tho wim of the Ad- ministration to strenthen this policy, and sce thet the red men are protected in their ri;hts, STAR ROUTES. ‘The suits instituted by the Government for the punishment of persons accused of attempt- jagto defraud in the matter of the postal star Toutes wit! be pushed with all proper dispatch. While there will be no vindictive pursuit of in- dividuals, it will be the aim of the Government tose that the revenues shall be amply pro- tected from fraud or robbery in the future. . THE souTi. The President congratulates Congress that, ‘Under the restoration of afree and impartial ballot at the South, the industries of that see- Hon are rapidly building up, and an era of good eet is Rverywhere prevalent.

STOCK, SPECULATORS TRYING TO SECURE CONTNOL OF THE NEW YORK IRE: ~ Correspondence Detroit Free Press, New York, Nov. 28.—Said a Wall street man at the Fifth Avenue Hotel:. “What Gould, ‘y_Would convert a Democratic | Field, and Sage are after now is to xet control of the Associated Press. They captured the West-, ern Union Telegruph Company bag and bagrage at the last election. ‘fhey have since taken full Possession of the elevated railrouds. They al-° ready hud control of some of the most important roads outside of New York, and ,they ure after others. They now propose to start a new stock exehango of their own, so that they may work the market any. way they please. -The next thing is to eapture the Associated Press, and then, with the press, the telecraph, and the rail- roads jn their hands, they will feel that they own tne country.” ‘The Wall street man was ied to these remarks by MR, FIELD’S NEW VENTURE IN JOURNALISM, his purchase of the Evening Express from John Kelly. Mr. Field alreagy owned the Evening ‘Slav, but that paper docs not pelong to the Associated Press. His plan ig to merge it in the Expreas and make the consolidation a tender to the firm of Gould, Field &-Suxe. The senior member of the tirm (senior in place thouch junior in years) already owns two Associated Press pa- pers, the Tripuneand World,. The acquisition of the Express zives the trio three of the seven papers of which the association is composed. The owners are the Herald, Times, Sun, and Jour- nal of Commerce. It Gould, Field, and Save set either of these they will have control of the association. It is pretty certain that they cuu- hot get the Herald or Times, as neither Mr, Ben- nett nor Mr. Jones have any desire to sell. Their choice, therefore, lies between the Sunand the Journal of Commerce. An attemp Was inude soine time azo to get a controlling in- terest in the latter, but it fell turough. ‘The Sun would be much more valuable to the new firm ou account of * IfS ENORMOUS CIRCULATION. Itis said that thoy will try hard to get it, but if they succeed it certainly will not “be with the consent of the editor. ‘they muy possibly be able to buy the paper, but they can’t buy Mr. Dima. He is not jo the market, even for Jay Gould's rolllions. Mr. Dana is now a pretty rich main, aud nis money 1s well invested. Gould, Field, and Sage know very well that thoy can’t buy him, but as thé Sun Is a stock concern they may possibiy be able to buy it. or a controlling interest in it, whieh would answer their purpose dustas well, The purcnuse of the Express was managed so secretly that no one knew anythime about it tll the thing was done, THE MINING MARKET.

New:Yonk, Dec, ‘There ts going to be a de- cided turn inthe mining market if present in- dications are to be relied upon,.and they would appear to be perfectly satisfactory. The market has dragged along now some weeks, in fuct all sammer, with only now and then a tem- porary and unsatisfactory spurt in something that quickly disappointed publte expectation. Old miners have been keeping quiet and waiting for the inevitable turn that must occur in val- uable properties whose securities may bave been kept. under by interual ~dissen- sions, - but which. must assert them- selves finally upon inherent wortb. The Roviuson Consoliduted Mine of Colorado is an instance in nand.

Crxcinnatt, O., Dec. 5.—Measures for break- ing up the coal ring are being seriously suggest- ed. Resolutions relating to tne matter have been brought before the Trade Assembly, which represents 5,000 fumilies, and the Board of Coun- cilmen. Capitalists are moving in the matter, ana the railroad companies are waking up. Among the wobkiug chisses coal clubs are belog talked of. ‘Iris proposed by the Council to en- courage the orcxnization of a coal company with a capitt! of two or turce million doltara, to which privileges shall be granted. by the ‘ity. Darticulurly in the “matter ot free wharfage, ou condition that the price of cout shall at no time exceed e certain specified figure. Jt is urged by. the Councilmen that the city hs the suine right to regulate the price of ail as that of water or gas. lu 1857 a coa dicate obtained entire control of the market nere und ran prices up to sn enormous figure. ‘The Council took hold of tho matter, und suc- eceded in breaking the. combination and reduc- ing the price more than haif.. ‘The action of the Council at that time is-cited a3 ‘a precedent for a prompt ana effective move by that body at this time. In. the ‘Trades Assembly. where vigorous actign against the monopoly was expected, the proposition was voted down.

MOLLY MAGUIRES. ‘Erial of Eight Men tor the Murder of Capt, -HMeuley Last Summer at Dun- bar, Pa. Special Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune. Ustontows, Pa., Dec. 1.—In a short time the triul of the Molly Maguires will take place in the Fayette County Court-House, in this beautiful and prosperous village. These men are tobe tried for the murder of Capt. Maurice Healey at Dunbar, on the 26th of last. June. The circum- stances attending the murderous occurrence are substantiully us subjoined: On the night of Sunday, the 26th of June, Maurice Healey, who was foundryman and foreman. of the Dunbar Furnace at Dunbar, an iron-manufacturing and bituminous coal mining town, about six miles from here, while going from. his place of residence to éce the evening blast “run” at the furnace, was shot and instantly killed by two men. The tragedy occurred on a path frequented by passers-by, and was at the time. of the commission of the mysterious. crime being traversed by scores of peuple on their way home trom divine worship. ‘The precise point where Capt. Healey was assasinuted was on a small pathway within a few rods of the dwelling of Mrs. Harper. The woman who resides in the house adjacent no- ticed the Cuptain from her gate a few moments before she beard the shots which killed him. Accompitnying him, or immediately bebind bi ‘ere Walking two nien attired. in thin - holida; clothes, but, owing to the. fast-gathering dark- ness, Mrs. Harper was unable to distinguish either of the men. The three wen bad proceed- ed but 2 short distance past the house when the womun beard Healey cry vut: “My God! men, you would got use me like this, Thope!” Im- mediately following four shots were tired in quick succession. Mrs, Harper at once gavo the alarm, but before any one was attracted by her. cries Healey was discovered by Martin Hailes, a young man going home from church, who stambied over. the prostrate mun. When found Capt. Healy was quite dead, und dleed- ing from four wounds, and so close must the as- sasins huve been to him when they fired that his clothes even were on fire. It would be ditticult tv deseribe upon paper the terrible excitement which prevuiled. * No trace of the murderers was left, but strong suspicion, with the ald of Pinkerton’s National Detective Agency, led to the arrest of cient men—namely: Joba Kain, * Buck” Collins, Mar- tin “Donohue, James MeFartan, James Rogan, Mike Dolan, Pat Dolan, aud Pat Flood. The Supposed immediate cause that led to the mur- der or Healy, was bis hither opposition to the grunting ot license to sell whisky, For a num- der of years Pat McFarlan, an Irishman, living at Dunbar, kept the. principal @rinking-saloon tbere, and realized during that period.a consid- erable. amouut of money. Capt. Healy, who trom his position as toreman of the Duabar urnace was boss of a large nuinber of men, seeing and knowing what a curse drinking w: to the men who worked avout him, aud having frequently been putto great inconvenience by men remaining on protracted sprees, deter- mined that he would oppose. the granting of licenses in Dunbar. ‘fhis, of course, was con- veyed to the ears of MeFarlan, who became terribly angry and threatened fearful things. A mar named Gadis {gomz past a stone house known as Hibernian Hall one evening shortly after MeFarlan’s Heense was refused heard a very excited and apparently. angry dis- cussion going ou within. Bemg curious, Gadis stopped and crept under the building and heard what was going on in the butl. It wagyit seems, # sortof indigaution meeting of the defeated party for the purpuse of devising means to vet even with the men who had prevented the granting of a license to MeFarlan. The saloon- keeper, McFariun, was present and made bim- self conspicuous by bis loud denuncaition aud threuts of Vengeance against those ge called his enemies, and the men who he claimed were en- deavoring to ruin him. Gadis also overheard the remark made by sume one that Capt. Healy would soon be “fixed,” and a committee was ap- pointed tudo the *tixing,” but this.was done in so jow a voice that the informer, Gadis, says he was unable to distinguisn the names of tuose who were selected us the committee to do tho bivody work. ‘This meeting was held’ in May Jast, and Healy was murdered in the latter part of June. On Thursday, Aug. 1, Capt. Robert 1. ‘Tinden, Superintendent of tho Pennsylvania Department of Pinkerton’s National Detective Ageney=whose services bud been sceured by the proprietors of, Duabar Furnace to work up the case—and his corps of officers arrested eight men at and about Dunbar for the crime. é a .

AN ALABAMA RIOT. ‘Two Negrocs Killed by Officers of the Law. Jacksonville (£1) Republican. Last Saturday, as usual on that day in Annis- ton, several! hundred negroes and white men gathered there. It seems there was more than the usual amount of drinking done that day by the negroes, and early in the morning quite a body of them evinced a riotous disposition. About 12 o'clock the Marshal had occasion to arrest a negro whom no had been ordcfed to bring before .H. L. Jeffers, Esq., for carrying concealed weapons. When the arrest was made, the negroes assuthed such a threztening at- titude that the Marshal was compelled to strike one with a club to keep the crowd off him. After trial this man was incar- cerated in tho calaboose until arrangements could be made for sending him to jail. Subse- quently the Marshal arrested another negro, and Started with him to tho calaboose. He wus fol- lowed arain and closely pressed by a howling. profane gang of negroes whu were urging the prisoner got to suffer himself to be incarcerated. They pressed around and about the Marshal and-his deputy from the place of arrest to the calapoose, and-by the time of his urrival there they pressed him so closely he did not bave time to unlock the prison door. At this juncture 2 white man named Mulke pressed forward and took the keys. The Marsbul faced the crowd, and, drawing his pistol, ordered them to stand back or he would fire. | * at this juncture Greenwood, the Ieader of the rioters, sprang forward and struck the Marsbal with a rock, making a mther severe wound on the nead and nearly bringing him to the round. ‘The Marshal dred upon him atouce and shot him down, At the same instant tho Deputy Marshal (Smith) opened tire on the rioters, and the prisoner (Hammond) who was making his way to where the Marshal und Greenwood were engaged, was shot, and, runninz up a flight of several steps, fell.’ There were four shots fired nnd two negroes shot, one of whom died in- atantly and the other the’ following Monday morning. The Justice’of the Peace, Mr. Jeffers, held an inquest over the body of Hamwond and sub- sequently that of Greenwood, the verdict of the jury being in the latter case that he came to bis ‘death at the bands of ollicers of the law while ia the lawful discharge of their duty. THE COUNTY CLERK’S CONTEST. There was considerable commotion around the County Clerk's olfice yesterday growing out of the fact that Mr. Kiokke was about to resign. The candidates for his pluce were particularly active, and the employés. Mable to be affected by the change were on the anxiousseat. The candidates were circulating petitions and look- ing up “intiuence,” and the other class were busy wondering what was to become of them, and preparing to show that their services would be absolutely indispensable whoever might get the place. The most uneasy individual, how- ever, among them all was Judge Loomis. for it was pretty generally conceded that he would have the vacancy to fill when it occurred. and all of the * influence” was being brought to bear upon him by the cundidates and their friends. ‘The responsibility is one he does not care to x cept, under the circumstances, to say nothing of any doubts that may exist as ‘to the appointive power, and the probabilities ure that he will to avoid any confusion and possible complications, quietly allow the County Board to name the man. If left to exercise his own wiilin the mutter it isthought that he would name Maj. Taylor, but if the County Board hus anything to say, as’ It probably will,no one can tell upon whom the bonors will fall, for the interest hinges. politically, not upon’ -the filling of the vacancy threatened half so much as upon the election a year hence: for whoever is appointed will be a candidate for the office next fall, it is conceded. and the appointment must be made with a view to the individual's political or party availapility. — A TOUGH CITIZEN. Michael Nickase isa clever villain. A few days ago be was arrested for some crooked work and held to the Criminal Court .for trial-under bonds of $1,000, which he furnished.
