THE CHIEF POINTS.
The chief points in the President's
message are his suggestions in-4efer-ence
to the measures to be taken to
provide for a continuance of the Na
tional Bank note circulation in desira
ble volume, which are substantially
the same as suggested by the Secre
tary of the Treasury, as published in
the Observer of Tuesday. This is a
question which is looming up into
importance, and to which congress
will doubtless give earnest considera
tion. His remarks on the complaints
against the corporations controlling
the freight and passenger traffic of
the country, which means practically
the railroad corporations, are sub
stantially the same as those contained
in his former message. He suggests
nothing to overcome the evil com
plained of, but hopes that congress
may find some legal way to remedy
the trouble, which congress will find
considerable difficulty in doing, even
if it were disposed to undertake so
large and complicated a task.
While he thinks tariff reform good
and desirable, he thinks that congress
ought to move cautiously in the cut
ting down process until it is satisfac
torily demonstrated how the reve
nues will be affected by the reductions
under the acts of the last congress,
which he says have not yet had time
for a sufficient test. He continues to
favor, however, the abolition of in
ternal revenue, except, perhaps, on
distilled spirits.
He takes a lively interest in the
American navy, and urges congress
to take measures to give the country
such a navy as it ought to have, re
marking that now is the auspicious
time for this work, while the national
finances are in such a satisfactory
condition, and while there is such a
large surplus in the treasury.
He plains himself flat-footed on the
polygamy question, and to outroot
that evil goes so far as to advise the
complete overthrow of the terri
Trial system as applied to Utah, and
its govornment by some other
method, a commission or something
of that sort, as suggested by Gov.
Murray, of that territory. He is
emphatic in the declaration that
polygamy must go, whether the Mor
mons go or not.
He concludes his message by a
reference to the civil rights Question.
which was quashed by the decision
of the United States Supreme court,
and trusts that congress will adopt
some measures to secure to the col
ored peoplo those rights guaranteed
to them by the constitution of the
United States. The brevity with
which he dispatches this question
would indicate that he does not take
a very lively interest in it, throwing
it in as a sort of a postscript to pla
cate that class of colored politicians
who have taken exceptions to the de
cision of the Supreme court as an out
rage upon the colored people.
It is stated that Hon. Samuel J
Tilden will make a gift of his Gram
ercy Park residence, library and col
lection of pictures to the city of New
York for a public library, which he
proposes to liberally endow. The

valued at $1,000,000.

A TE. '
After Some Remarks and
on Contested Seats and
Resolutions
Other Mat-
ters, the House Adjourns onl of Re
aped to the Memory of the Late Rep
resentative II em don, of Alabama.
Washington, Dec. 5. Senate.
The Senate was called to order at
noon. After prayer by the chaplain
and reading of the journal, several
joint resolutions were presented to be
referred to appropriate committees
when appointed.
Among the bills introduced were
the following :
By Jones, of Florida, to authorize
the erection of a public building in
Key West; it appropriates $100,000
for the purpose. Also to authorize
the Secretary of the Treasury to set
tle claims of the State of Florida for
expenses in suppressing Indian hos
tilities. B Frye, of Maine, to extend the
duration of the court of Alabama
claims; it continues the court till De
cember 31. 1885, and empowers the
President to continue it one year
longer if necessary.
By Butler, of South Carolina, to re
peai the internal revenue laws now in
force, and to abolish the internal rev
enue bureau.
By George, of Mississippi, to relieve
the Protestant Orphan Asylum of
Natchez. Miss. Also to permit a
statue of Garibaldi to be erected in
the public grounds of Vicksburg,
Miss.
Jones, of Florida, offered a resolu
lution, which was agreed to, calling
on tne President for information as
to whether the ninth article of the
treaty of 1819 between the United
States and Spain has been fully exe
cuted by the United States, if not,
what impediments, whether of law
or fact, interferes with such execu
tion. After a brief executive session,
during w hich a number of nomina
tions received to-day, mostly "receta
appointments." v?ere.laid on the table
to await the formation; of a commit
tee, the Senate adjourned until to
morrow. .
House. Tucker, of Virginia called
up the resolution offered by him yes
terday referring to the committee on
elections the papers in the Virginia
contested election case of Garrison vs
Mayo, with instruction to that com
mittee to decide upon the prima facie
right to the seat without prejudice to
the final decision on the merits. In
support of his resolution, Tucker said
all the preliminary proceedings of
the swearing in of members under
the law of Congress depended on the
reality of the certificates presented
by each member. It was something
preliminary to the organization, but
when members were sworn in. the
House was organized, and for the
first time it was acting under the
constitution which gave it the right
to judge of the election of its own
members. The Democratic party
would do justice in these contested
election ;ases and his action was not
prompted by any desire to do injus
tice to Mr. Mayo.
Buckner, of Missouri, ortered a
resolution referring Tucker's resolu
tion to the comn ittee on elections,
when appointed, with instructions to
report on the legal question involved
therein, which was adopted.
On motion of Randall, of Pennsyl
vania, it was ordered that when the
House adjourn to-morrow it be to
meet Mondav next at 12.40.
Jones, of Alabama, submitted the
customary resolution announcing the
death of f hos. H. Herndon, of Ala
bama, and out of respect to the mem
ory of the deceased the House at 12.40
adjourned with the understanding
that no business wiH be transacted
to-morrow

Washington, Dec. 5. Senators Ma
hone and Riddleberger received invi
tations t . the caucus of the Republi

I'HlS PREACHER'S PECULIARITIES. A studious
man. An industrious man. A gentlemanly man. A faithful man. An
energetic man. An eloq ient man. A man highly respected; Yet, itt
spite of all these, disease sometimes lays its hand on the preacher and
commands him to stop his work. Like all other brain-workers, lawyer,
editor, poet, and scribe, the preacher often exeats his brain too much and
omits to give his stomach rjid liver a fair chance. These organs rebel, and
the brain-to'ler is in trouble. He thinks he has consumption, Eright's dis
ease, and fifty other diseases. His indigestion puts him in a state of misery
which is ne?:t doer to a state of sin Under such pressure many ministers
are voted a trip to Europe, the expenses paid by the congregation. With
many others this is impossible, and their peculiarity is that they have to
stay at home. But no man need complain at having to stay at home, so
long as he can procure a bottle of Brown's Iron Bitters, which can be had
at any drug-store. O, how it tones up the debilitated preacher! It sets
his liver to rights, and enables his stomach to digest the food he puts into
it. It gives him new cheer and takes away the horrors. The Rev. W. H.
Chapman, of Baltimore, was in ill-health and a state of debility. Brown's
Iron Bitters helped him out of all that. The Rev. Mr. Barham, of Warren
ton, N. C, found it "a complete restorative, tonic, and appetizer." So
have many other ministers, and so will persons of every profession or per
tuasion who trv this best of all tonics. 1
