Largest Cirenlation inthe Distriet NOYES......00--Editor. CROSBY WASHINGTON OITY: WEDNESDAY..-... DECEMBER 9, 1868. ef Ke spINe MATTER ON BYERY Pace, SEK OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELB- Gkarnic 45D OTRER MATTER. ‘The President takes occasion in the closing annual Message of bis term, to reiterate the views he has so often expressed in opposition to the Congressional pi1.n of reconstruction. He seems determined to fight it out with the Jegisiative branch until the last hour of his of- ficial career. He strenuously advocates the repeal of pretty much everything Congress has | done im this connection, but probably nas no serious expectation that his voice will be potential with that body. On the fluancial question he agrees mainly ‘with the recommendations of Secretary McUul- loch, but nmproves the occasion to further ven- tilate his hostility to the body at the other eud of the avenue.” He compares the expenditures ofthe war with Great Britain, the Mexican war, and the war of the rebellion, in order to ai ‘startling facts” in connection with the -expenditures tor the latter, and pro- ceeds to draw a gloomy picture, indeed. He says “the receipts from internal revenues and customs have, during the past three years, gradually diminished, aud the continuance of useless and extravagant expenditures will in- volve us in nat‘onal bankruptcy, or else make wevitable an increase of taxes, already too onerous, and in many respects obnoxious oa account of their inquisitorial character. One buudred millions annually are expended fo? the military, a force, tne larger portion of which 1s employed in the execution of laws both unnecessary and unconstitational; one bundred and fifty millions are required each year to pay the interest on the public debt; an army of tax-gatherers impoverishes the na. tion, and public agents, placed by Congress beyond the control of the Executive, di- vert from their legitimate puryoses large sums of money which they collect from the people in the name of the Government.” All this 1s vespondent enough, but he hastens to add a deeper color by suggesting that “with. out proper care the small balance which it is estimated will remain in the Treasury at the close of the fi-cal year will not be realized, and additional millions be added to a debt which is now enumerated by billions.” Let us hope that he has taken a jaundiced view of the situ- Aton, m consequence of the unpleasant reia- tions be holds with the law-makers, Doubtless the incoming President will see things through vastly more cheerful spectacles. The President favors a reduction of the rat> Of interest, aud argues that the holders of our sectirities have already received upon their bonds a larger amount than their original in- vestupent, measured by a goid standard, He therefore thinks it but just and equitable that the six per cent, interest now paid by the Gov- ernment should be applied to the reduction of the principal im semi-annual instalments, which in sixteen years and eight months would liquidate the entire national debt. Six per cent. in gold would at present rates be equal to nine per cent. in currency, and equivalent to the payment of the debt one aud a palf time 4a fraction less than seventeen years. This, am connection with all the other advantag, derived from their investment, would at. ford to the public creditors a tair and Libera} compensation for the use of their capital, this they should be satisfied, sont of the past admonish the Jeucer that it 1s not well to be over anxious in exacting from the borrower rigid compliance with the letter of the bond,” which 1s good Pendletonicn doctrine. He argues at consider- able length in favor of a retarn tospecie pay- ments, and thinks the time has come when the Government and the National Bauks should be required to take steps and make all neces- sary arrangements to thatend. Whea this is accomplished be favors a law forbidding the circulation of notes ofa less denomiaation than So that the people may havea metallic cur- Teney. Upon the Indian question he endor-es the policy of providing lands fer the various tribes When they may be encouraged to abandon their nomadic habits. In regard to our difficulty with Paraguay the President says the special correspondence bas not reached here, but that Minister Mlc- Mahon has been instructed to proceed without delay to Ascuncion to investigate the matter. The President favors the extension of our outside possessions, and hints that we may not only get the Danish aslands, but also St. Do- mingo and Cuba. Upon the question of our relations with Great Britain the President does not give any mformation as to the precise condition of the negotiations pending between the two coun- tries, but says he is “not without hope of being able to lay before the Senate, for its conside tion during ihe present session, protocois cal- culated to bring to an end these justly exciting and fong-existing controversies.” This means, probably, that the Johnson-Stanley protocsi been amended bere and sent back to the British Goverment for concurrence, ‘The President, im closing, takes occasion to renew his recommendations for various amend- ments of the Constitution, providing for elec- tion of the President and Senators by a direct | vor of the people, &e. In many respects the message is an able document, but the general opinion wili ua. doubtedly be that it is greatly marred by the bitterly hostile spirit manifested towards Con- gress in almost every paragraph. A legal question of considerable importance, Ss affecting the rights of an individual once tried for am offence before a municipal officer, and involving also the question of concurren; jerisdiction of Mayor's and Judicial courts, has just been decided by Hon. M. M. Granger, one of the Circuit Judges of Ohio. A grand Jury, it appears, had returned an indictment against one Fell for assault and battery upon one Wedge,—Fell having been previously fined by the Mayor for disturbing the peace by fighting in the streets, during which aifray the assault upon Wedge was cemmitted. Upon trial, under the indictment, a special plea was filed by the defendant, setting up the convic- tion before the Mayor, and claiming immunity from farther punishment for the same offence, To this the State’s attorney demurred, on the ground that the conviction by the Mayor ina p.c.ccution by the city for a violation et one of its ordinances was not as bar to the prosecution by the State for assault snd battery. The case was ably argued at length on both sides, and considerable interest was manifested. as it bas been customary in that State for parties to cause fines to be assessed by Mayors gainst persons for assaults, and then prosecute for the same ailray under, the State law. The court, in its decision, held however, that the plea was good.—that the prosecution before the Mayor was a bar to jurther proceedings, and the prisoner was discharged, Tue New Exsoiisa Caniwet.—Mr, Glad- stone, according to the latest cable despatches had net completed the list of his Cabinet. Tne Times asserts that Earl Russell will aot accept office. It also thinks the appointment of Earl Spencer as Lord Lienteaghe ot Ireland, and of Me-srs. Bruce, Villiers and Coleridge to seats in the Cabinet, doubtful. The Zines adds the nameof James Moneriefas Lord Advocate of Scotland. It is mow considered certain that Lord Kimberly will be Lord Privy Seal, and the Earl de Grey and Rippon President of the Privy Council im the new Cabinet, It is said Sir Roundell Palmer will be appointed Lord Justies of the Court of Appeais, the Earl of Huntmgton, Lord Lientenant of Ireland; Mr. Goschen, President of the Poor Law Board; aud Henry A. Brace, Home Secretary, the iat. ter taking Sir Roundell Palmer's seat in par. hament. GERMAN AND ITALIAN OPBRA—Max Maret zk's grand combined Italian and German, Opera Troupe appear for six nights in this city, commencing on Monday next. The com- pany embraces many of the most taleptec artists in the courtry, and will give all the best operas in their repertoire during their brief stay bere. The sale of uckets will commence .o-morrow morning, at Metzerots's qusic store Secretary McCulloch in his report points out way to the resumption of specie payments which has the merit of being practicable, and would be attended perhaps with less derance- ment of the cireula'ion than any other mode yet suggested. He recommends a declaration by Inw that after the first day of January, eiga- teen hundred and seventy, United States notes sball cease to be a legal tender in payment of all private debts subsequently contracted; and that after the first day of January, eighteen hundred and seventy-one, they shall cease to bea legal tender on any contract, or for any PUrpore whatever, except Government dues, for which they are now receivable. The law,he says, shoald also authorize the conversion of these notes, st the pleasure of the holders, into bonds, bear such rate of interest as may be authorized by Comgress on the debt into which the present outstanding bonds may be funded. ‘Those who contend that the yolume of cur- Tency is not now larger than the country needs will, of course, resist this summary ex- tinction of so farge a volume of paper money, and es many Western men are ef this mode of thinking, it may be that Mr. McCalloch’s con- traction ideas will have no more weight this sestion than heretofore. An adverse decision by the United States Sapreme Court as to the constitutionality et the legal tender law would, however, make short work of the maiter, as suggested by Mr. McUutloch, and, curiously enough, the very question is being argued in the U.S. Supreme Court contemporary with the appenrance of his report, The public believes bat the coustitutionality of the law will be saintained by the court, but this bellef 15 founded rather on hope, and on the certainty that a financial crash would result from suck & decision coming upon the country vapre- pared than upon any adequate ground. There is certainly weight in the recommendation of Seoretary McCulloch that legislation upon the mutter should precede a possible decision (from Which there can be no appeal) that United Slates notes are not, under the Federal Consti- tution, @ legal leader. The bill restoring the Burean of Indian at- tairs to the War Departmentafter January 1, 1-6, passed the House yesterday bya larg+ mujority, and there seems to be no doubt that it will pass the Senate, possibly somewhat modified. The Secretary of the Interior, it will be seen in his report, protests warmly against the proposed transfer, but the feeling of Con. gress and of the country is that the military arm is the proper one to deal effectually with the Indians. Sheridan is the best “Lnodian Agent” we have sent out to the Plains, and he: t anybody, will negotiate a peace that will be permanent. A fair audience attended the Congragationa Church Inst evening to hear Mr. Greeley tol- low another gentleman on “The Woman Ques- tion.” His lecture was ef course sensible, practical, and Greeleyish throughout; although it lacked to someZextent, as it seemed to us, the quaint and pointed pungency which charac- terized some of his efforts we haye heard. We have no room to-day for even a synopsis of the discourse, but it will do ne injustice to the distnguisbed speaker to sum up bis conciu- sions as subsiantially meaning that bts theme isa problem which the women themselves c1u solve whenever they are so disposed, and mainly, also, in such manner as they may elect: WALL's Orkra Hovse.—We have heretofore spoken in terms of commendation ot the fine stock company at this theater, and their pe: formance of the « Lancashire Lass” last ev, ning more than bears out what we have said.

The play passed off without a fauz pes inst night, and will be repeated this even- ing.
