He is our highest Executive officer and" what he has to say is worth the at tention of all intelligent people. The time was once when the recommen dations of the , President were the key and gnide to the legislation of his party. Whether or not the mes sage of Mr. Arthur will be the guide to the legislation of his party re mains to be tested, but there iff so much, division in the party that the Republicans may not be able to har monize " on all public measures re commended. The message is practical "and busi ness like - throughout. He gives a view of our intercourse with other countries that is satisfactory and clear. The message is comprehen sive and full of interest in many of the views. We do not propose to( re fer to it in detail. Those who are interested enough to read it will find much to approve and possibly some things to condemn. The more than five columns of brevier we published is onlv about two-thirds of the mes sage. It contains enough information to repay any citizen for reading it. The total ordinary revenues of the country for the year ending June 30, 1882,are .stated to be $403,325,250.28, Of this sum $220,410,730.25 was re ceived from the tariff tax.and $146, 497,595.45 from the internal tax. The ordinary expenditures were $257,981, 439.57. The surplus revenue was $145,543,810. l: This sum, and over $20,000,000 of the cash balancein the Treasury, were -applied to the public debt in all $166,281,505.55.' Now if this state of things is to continue it is very clear that the pub lic debt will be' wiped out too rapidly and that too great a burden connected therewith is falling yearly upon the present generation of tax-payers. But will this surplus continue? We think not, as we will show farther on. -What. about the $100,000,000 re quired for pensions for the year end ing J une 30, 1883 ? What about the sum for the, same purpose that the Chairman of the Senate Pension Committee says will be required for the year ending June 30, 1884 ? Sen ator Piatt says that 150 million will be required. . President Arthur favors a" reduc tion of annual expenses.' He favors, an "immediate and extensive" reduc tion. . So far very good. He says that the surplus revenues for the last two years, are more than 245 million. He thinks the liquidation of the pub lic debt is going on too rapidly. This is precisely in accordance with the views of the Stab as presented often. The evil results that will follow the speedy extermination of the pub lic dabt are set forth by the Secretary of the Treasury in his report, but which has not yet reached us. The President, however, refers briefly to these views. . He shows the surplus must either remain idle or' the Gdv ernmerit must buy up its bonds before they are due and at an enormous ad vance. . Mr. Arthur says both parties are agreed. as. to the necessity oi a reduction .of taxes. The President thinks - that 1 all in ternal taxes can i be abolished save that on distilled spirits. But in get ting rid of the tax on tobacco . and fermented liquors, &c, the . country will not get rid of but a part 'of the Revenue Ringsters, and that J is the very thing the South is most inter ested in.' .The President refers to "a simplification of the machinery of collection." The Democrats should fight for the simplification beinir so complete as to i abolish for all time Dr. Mott, Ike Young fend their tribe of political emissaries and pimps. Let the system of collection be changed altogether. .- - He seems to think that the pen sion business will be "able toUbsorb largely of the surplus he has. been talking about. 'Even as much as 100 million, he says, will be required for the coming year. ' He thinks a total abolition" of the , internal , taxes "would-almost inevitably prove a se rious if not an insurmountable ob stacle to !a thor6ugh revision, of the tariff' and to any considerable re duction of the import duties." .--The President speaks plainly about the necessity of av revision of Mho tariff.' : He savs it is 5'uniust.and ''makes unequal kdistributions, t both. of its burdens and benefits." True, every word of it. .1 . " - - . . The sum of the matter then is this: both of the systems of taxes need to i- . . . . . i . a ; . i . s ? . mi I ue revisea anu roaucea. : i ne inter nal tax to be abolished save only as to distilled spirits! and the tariff to be cut down in many? particulars, -but still "to afford protection and aid to domestic ,labor.". We have urged that both the readjusting and reduc tion of the tariff should go hand in . , . .- . . hand with the reduction of the inter-: nal revenue system! The President is confident that all of the excise tax can be got rid of but that on dis tilled spirits. ' But in doing this he evidently proposes,' while reducing the tariff on many articles," to . yet continue to tax the positive necessa ries of life to relieve - the people from paying tax on tobacco and malt liquors two .: needless luxuries whilst falsing revenue by; taxing the poor man s necessaries. .x : ... The President has seen the hand writing on the wall. He, therefore"," advises that the present session shall not fail to "correct the more conspic uoqs inequalities of the tariff" if it fbe. found - tQ'be impracticable" to enter "upon "a general revision.' He recommends an enlargement of the free list and some reductions as to molasses, ,. silk, ' wool and woollen goods. . The last session of. Congress ap propriated nearly 300 million. The pension claims require 100 million more. Here is 400 million spoken for. The President says the total revenue for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, was 403 million If the revenue for the next fiscal year should not exceed that lame sum p -' , --' ...... . ; there will be ho surplus whatever asr far as we can see. ? The present ses sion is certain" to vote away other moneys in the way of appropriations. So with thes.e figures staring- you in the face; we do not see much' chance for a reduction of revenue, and find no surplus to complain T of. ' Unless there should be a very - great, reduc tion in "the expenditures for the suc ceeding year,, hereQjvUl f be no sur plus, as we believe,' at the end of the fiseal year; on June .30, 1884, for Senator Piatt says 150 million will be required during that year to meet the pension claims alone- ' : We shall refer hereafter "to Mother points and recommendations of the message. . 'We learn that a large and handsome steam-tug, the Geo. W.

About eight or ten days ago the summer residence of Mr; Owen.Fenneil, on Wrights yille Sound, was broken open and robbed, the thief making an entrance through- a 'window..- Mr. Fennell was only informed of the faft on Friday morning last, and he immediately Jiptifled Chief of Police Brock, iellimriiim that, r amons other things; he had lost a double-barrel gun. The police. force were put on their, guard but struck upon no clue, until Monday night, about 7 o'clock; when Officer Lewis Gordon; while at '.the store r of Mr. Hanby, ' overheard a colored man, who subsequently -gave 'his name as Stephen Hill, offering to sell a gun, stating that he had a short time before bought it .of a tramp. . The officer asked what sort of a gun it was. and, upon HHl's describing it. he remarked that it was just the one he was looking for. ; Finally -it was - . decided that Hill should take Officer Gor don to his (Hill's) house and show him ihe gun , This was done, and the officer was. confident that, it was Mr Fennell's gun. Hill was then asked to accompany the offl cer to the City Hall, taking the weapon with him, and ' subsequently-r Mr. ' Fennell was sent for and identified the gun. Off! cec Gordon, then went jnsenroh of the man who sold the ; gun, accompanied by Hill and finally came upon him at the shop of Sandy Stewart, on Nutt streets He made a slight effort at escape, but was intercept ed 4 :bv Officer - Gordon and taken to" the 6uard Houscl . Yesterday morning the case, came up for investigation before Mayor; Smith. ; The prisoner is a young white manapparently about 22 or 23 years of agej and answers to the name of J. A. McEee,vwfaich is found upon sundry letters and . envelopes discov ered upon his person. He was comfortably clothed in a dark suit, . and but for sun dry disadvantages," the result no doubt of a guilty conscience, he would present a some what prepossessing appearance. . . - Mr. Fennell was called upon and fully identified , the ,-gun and- described the manner in - which his house was broken into, mepnen iim : aetanca tne cir cumstances connected ' with ' the pur chase of the gun. i Said McKee told him that his uncle paid $80 for tho gun, and he bought it from his uncle for $18; that he was pushed for money and would take ten. or twelve dollars for it, and that he (Hill) finally succeeded in getting it for $7.50. Officer Gordon testified to the facts attend ing his discovery ?f the gun and the arrest of McKee, and one John Campbell, colored, told how he met -this same -man - between Newton's and Mosquito Hall, on Wednes day last, and that he bad a lot of spirits, pants, table cloths and other articles, some of which he purchased from him. Said also that prisoner wanted to sell him a gun, but he declined to purchase. Campbell. ana also Mr. Dallis Fennell. identified the gun as the property of Mn; Owen FennelL At the conclusion of the testimony the prisoner was asked if ' he had anvthin? to say for himself, when he endeavored to iru- Shcate another party. He was then or ered to give bond in the sum of $100 for nis appearance at tne. next term of the Criminal Court, in default of which he was turned over to the Sheriff, 'when he was hand-cuffed and taken to the county jail .

How is 4 it rjossible that raising the tax UDon woollen goods, nails, jack . knives and trace . r- A . . cnains wouia increase tne revenue, when the present ' rates are bevond the revenue standard, as must be' ad mitted, by all ? "So far from doing- so,-; tne government -would, derive less, because it. would be, imore pro- niDitory. a reduction ot the rates from an average of 45 per cent.; as it now is, to 30 per cent, would largely increase : importations and -thus, add to the amount of revenue. i auini& xnat sugar win Dear a greater tax, because the climate of this country will not allow as much Ot the : article to be produced, - by many millions of pounds, as .is .used by; the people.

I cannot see what intent Mr. Kelley or Mr. Randall, as representatives of a otate which has no principles, ex cept to tax others for its .benefit, can have which is to be subserved bv a revision, of the tariff for the purpose of increasing the ' revenues of the Government.
