Reading a liiessaue in the house never receive much attention and the last one pioved no exeep lion to the general nile. On com pietion of the reading of the mes sage it wan referred to a commit tec, who n ceived it tnd ordered it printed A resolution nqiKS'ing the speaker, in appointing the com mittees, to apportion the Fame among the several states and ter ritories, ac ending to population and to appoint at least a chairman from each state and territory, was prefentcd and ordered leterred to the committee on rules, when ap pointed. Tie house then adj urned tin ti Sa'urdav, w ith the undi rstandiii: that further adjournment be taken until ennesday. The message is a leng'h- d'-.cu nicnt, and i;; full will occuiiv i iIjzpii coliiinns of aa ordinary newf-pap.'r. It opens by inviting the atten tion an I sciiitiiiv ot congress to the wins t.i the Stat ilopai tmelit sa ing : "Dui'ing the Us' ear it hi been characterized by an unusu ally larye number of important lie- got atious, and by diplomatic re sults ot a notaldy and oighl v tiene- ticial character. Among theee are : Ji. ciproc it trade arrang nients, which have been conclud ed in th-.3 exercise of the powers conferred bv section :l id the tarifT law, with the republic of Brazil, with Spain for its West Indian possessions, ami Willi ban l'o- miugo. Like negotiations wi'.h other countries have been much advanced, and it is hoped that be fore the close of the year further letim e trade arrangements o. irreat vilue will be conclucd." i oiicerning the lieiiring sea trouble it says that teriiH sati-Tac tory to this govei nment have been iigived upon, and that the agn e- ment as (o the arbitrators is all that is necesrary to the c uiiple- tinii ol the convention. The Chilian aH'.-.ir in licit. -.1 a' fullv, about which the president savs : 1 lie trcauueut ot our min ster for a time was such as to cal for a decided protest, an 1 it was very grat ifv ing to observe that the ii'ilrieiidly measures, which were undoul'tedl ' the result of the prc- vai'mg excit.'ineiit. were at once i-'Si-inded or smlahly relaxed, ot her foreign ic!aliOH are fully tiiMled. The beneficial eflV-rts of the new laritl' law is releireii to, also the silver leg's. ati-m ol ine last con gress. The pn sid nt iicvncales bi iiietalisin, and says "(Jive existing laws a trial," and adds: "I am still of the opinion that the free coinage of silver, under the exist ing conditions, would disastrously ail'ect our business interests at home and abroad." The policy of applying the sur pliii to the redemption of the interest-bearing securities of the 1'nited States is thought to be preferable to that of depositing it without interest in selected na tional banks- The result of this policv ol the silver legislation and of refunding the 4 'J percent bonds has been a large increase of the money in circulation. The exclusion of Chinese, and the enforcement of the anti-Chinese law is urged. The Michigan plan of selecting presidential electors is condemned. The plan of allotting lands to Indians is approved, aud.the re ducing of the larger reservations bv restoring to the public domains many million acres of land is re ferred to with gratification. The working of the general land office, the pension bureau, the agricultural and postal depart ments, were each reviewed at length, the result being very sat isfactorv. The dec'ino of polygamy is noted, and the president does not believe in experimenting with this (picstion, but repressing it en tirely. lie recommends that provisions be made for the organization of a simple form of town government in Alaska. Concerning the Chinese troubles the president says : The late outbreak against for eigners in various parts of the Chinese empire has been a cause of deep concern. In view of the numerous establishments of our citizens in the interior of that country, ihis government can do no less than insist upon a coctinu ance of the protective and punitory measures, which Uu Chinese gov ernment has heietofore applied. No effort will be oiuitted to pro tect our cftizens pe leeably svjoii ru ing in China, but recent unolllcial information indicates that what was at liidt regarded as an ou'-b.-eak of mob violence a:ainst I'o: eijneis, has assumed the form of an insurrection against public order. The Chinese government h is de clined to receive .Mr. I'.lair as the minister of the United Mates, on the ground tiiat i'.s a participant, as a Eena'or, in (he eiiactuiei.t ol existing legislation acaii st the in troduction, of Chinese laborers . he has become unfriendly andobjec tionabie to China. "l have felt consliaine I to point out to the Chines.! govei nine'it the untsii abltness of this jo-iition. , Ihe fact is lelened to that this government has found oi cai:ii to express m a frier:d!y sj it it, but wiih much enrneMiiess, to the government of the czar. i'SFeii ous concern because of the hari-h measures now being enforced against the Hebrews i f Russia bv the reviv-d of atdi Semitic laws, long in abeyance. Great numbers of these unfortunate people ha-'e been constrained to abandon their homes and leave the empire by reason of the impossibility to lii.d subsistence within the rale to which it is said to confine them I lie emigration ol these people to the Dinted fSUtes, many other countries being closed, is largely increasing, ai.d is likely to luriaer increase, to proportions w li'ch may mak it ditiieuit to find homes and employment fr those people nere, auo 10 seriously aiieci me labor mait.-1. It is estimated that over one million vwll he forced iroiu Russia within a few years. This consideration, as well as the suggestions of hninar.ity, furnishes ample ground fot the remon- tranccs, whicu we have iresented to Russia, w hi'eour bis oric li iend ehip for that government cannot but give the fc-siiraucc the rcpre- entations ate tnose ot a well v is-her. The president speaks hotefiilly of the ellbrt to place our n.ivy on ai equahtv with other niitions. and recommends the completion and control of the Nicaragua anal by the government. J he coriection of frauds aguin-t -uilrage is urged, and the inessauc closes with the following appeal: aiy appeal is and must continue to be for a coiieuii4tion tint shall proceed w ith candor, calmness and patience ujun the lints of justice i:.d humanity, not bv iiredindice mil ciuelty. The consideratioii of these giave ouestions invte no onlv the attention of congress, but that of all citizens. We must not eiiteitun ih delusion that our people have cea-ed to regatd a free baHot and coiial representation as the price of the alh-iiiancs to laws and to civil magistrates. 1 hae been greatly rejoiced to notice many evidences of the inj-van-d unilicat nil of our people and of a revised national spirit.
