Pros!. lent Grant in his mc.jsae to Congrc has taken what will 1)0 considered by all fair thinkbig men as tho only honest and practicable course, lie deprecates the prolonged warfare, and insinu ates Spain's inability to cfush it out; but at the same time takes the honor able ground that inasmuch as the 0 battles in Cuba have never exceeded in ma gnitudo well developed skir mishes, and inasmuch as the insur gents have no civil government, nor courts of justice, nor executive, nor port in which their Hag is Hying, it becomes impossible for a govern ment, not wishing to. act the part of Aesop's" wolf, to recognize their bel ligerent rights. Such noncommittal language of course makes our President tho foot -ball of both o Cubans and Spaniards. The former are disgusted with hi3 lnkewarm sentiments and peaceful attitude, while tho fractious Hidal gos take every hint at their, warning power, cor inefficient military as a just cause for metaphorical pistols and coffee. But then what do we care? The blustering .Spaniard may ilourish hi3 Toledo blade, and tho Cuban 0 threaten the use of his torch, but when in tho right we are mighty, and though wo lose the friendship of 0 both contestants, wc preserve our honor and our self-respect, and make ourselves admired among tho nations of tho world. .3 Tho Democrats in Washington have passed resolutions with a view we suppose to counteract tho effect of Grant's message, to the eil'ect that the free schools system cf the United States is tho bright star in the galaxy of tho repivblie, and on its maintenance and perpetuity de pends; the present and future of the - American people; that tho Dem ocratic party always has at all times resisted, and hereafter 'will resist, any and all attempts looking to the division of Iho public school fund, no matter for what purpose; that the Democratic party is now. and always will be, in favor of free pross, free trade, and gold and silver us tho only constitutional money of the nation. No State shall make any law respecting the establishment of any religion, or prohibiting tho free exercise thereof, and no money raised by taxation for tho support 0 of public schools, cr derived from any public fund therefor, shall over bo under tho control of any reii'n'oi.s sect, nor shall any money so raised' ever be divided between religious cseets or denominations.

In less than a week tho Forty- Fourth Congress will convene for the first time. QIt will be of more than usual importance, and attract greater attention than have some of its predecessors, for the reason, that for the first time since 1SG0, the Democratic minority has developed into a majority, and also becanso it is authoritatively announced that that 2artj will make use of its new honor to unearth the abuses, real and imaginary, of tho politicnl or ganization which for sixteen yeajs has had unlimited control of the national affairs. It will bo new Congress in fact as well as in name.

Besides all this, there is a strong sentiment against one party using tho appli ances of th government and the money of the tax-payers for the pur pose of accumulating political cap ital. Tho best thiog tho Forty Fourth Congress can do, is to pursue the even tenor of its way, exercising economy in its administration and insisting upon tho pnctico of the same in the various departaients.

There have been so many casualties of late to ancient crafts that the authorities should look to her "rating." "Pound parties" are all tho go in Portland.

TK t.ll'i l . i'iil C X t: U '.? . Washington, Dec. 10. Tho Cab inet session to-day was of unusual length, and the attention of the President and Cabinet officers was directed almost wholly to the subject of whisky fraud trials in St Louis. Col. James O. Broadhead, a Dem ocrat and eminent lawyer of St. Louis, has been employed as Assist ant U. S. Attorney to prosecute the whisky frauds in that city, in place of ex-Senator Henderson, who took advantage of his position to releive his mind of an old grudge against the President, by a very unprofes sional assanlt.on his character. The Cabinet stand together in censure of Gen." Henderson's conduct in tho Avery case in this respect. The Agricultural Reports for November indicate that the corn crop of 1872 was one of the largest ever grown in the country. It is probably equal to the very large crop of 1870 and 1872. It is at least ono forth greater than the crop of 1874, and about one-third larger than tho crop of 18G9. Every section of the Union reports some increase. Ths indictment against General Babcock by tho grand jury .at St. Louis has been officially eommunie ;t ed to the Attorney-General. Special Counsel Henderson has telegraphed to the Attorney-General that a sworn statement of the remarks ho made on the Avery trial has been forwarded to the department of justice. St. Louts, Dec. 11. District Attorney Dyer has appointed Col. Jps. O. Broadhead, one of the lead ing lawyers of the St. Louis bar, to fill tho position made vacant by the dismissal of" Gen. Henderson, and he has accepted, and will attend to tho whisky ring prosecutions in con junction with District Attorney Dyer, Assistant Attorney Bliss and Lucien Eaton. Ni.w Yot;k, Dec. 11.

Scott, the colored Sheriff, called on the whites for assistance. St.. Louis, Mo., Dec. 13. A laud swindle to tho amount of 12,000,000 acres of land has been discoveied at Southestern Missouri. PuEHiiO, Col., Dec. 13. The rev- j enue officials discovered an under ground distillery for the manufacture of crooked whisky, about five miles above this city. The outfit was discovered on Sunday last by government officials. The distillery was in full operation when the officers arrived, but the two principal owners, C. O. Pinkney and John Hall es caped. Chicago, Dec. 13. A Washington special sa3's, there is no doubt that Dr. Liuderman has decided that, if it is desired to establish another mint solely to coin silver, Indian apolis is the best location; but if to coin both gold and silver, that St. Louis has the best facilities of any Westerncit-. San Francisco, Dec. 11. The Japanese steam corvette Tsukuba, Capt. Ho arrived this forenoon from Singano. It is the first appearance of any war vessel of that nation in these waters. Relative to the report that Macon-draj- & Co. intend, 011 the expiration of the charters of the steamships Vancouver and Vasco do Gama, to run them as opposition lino to China, the firm state that no definite arrange ments have yet been made to that effect, pending advices from the owners in London; but admit that such a disposition of the ships is in contemplation. Bosto:,-, Dec. 1-1. Mayor Cobb has been re-elected by about 2,500 majority on the citizens ticket. 'lie was successful in tho main over a coalition of tho Democratic aad Republican tickets. Our I-'i.-litTADs. Tho sfdmoii yield for the fceasoii of 1875 from the Colombia river, has amounted to 235,000 cases. As theiS j are a dozen pound cans to tho c,aso, it would make tho yield amount to 2,820,000 pounds. Although tho salmon catch in this State for tho past season has been only half as large as in '74, the ex penses of fishing and canning have been so decreased, and prices in foreign markets have so increased, that our fishermen will realize bigger profits than ever before. That's the idea. "Keep down expenses," as Stephen Girard said, "and money will make itself." President Grant's Secretary, Gen. Babcock, has been indicted at St. Louis for suspected connection with the crooked whiskey frauds. It is no more than just to say that this gen tleman asked tho investigation him self, and that ho and his friends "pooh pooh" tho charge. The President's message, which wo give in full to our readers in this issue, we think will well repay a careful perusal. In style, it is sim ple and unaffected; in matter, fcbig with importance. We commend it to the study of all. .Dispatches from London state that .when the Deutschland left Bremen she had 101 adults, 11 children and 2 infants on board.
