THE MEADE CASE. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. weather prevented the taking of any reliable observation. In the dark early morning of the 19th of November land was suddenly discovered ahead. An attempt to put the ship about was made, but she was already in the breakers, and striking heavily, with a heavy sea rolling over her, she shortly went to pieceB.

The crew were waBhed off, and some succeeded in reaching the shore. The second mate and six seamen were saved. The captain, the first mate, the cook, the steward, the carpenter and six seamen were lost. Captain Soule was well known in this oity, where he leaves a wife and children. WEDNESDAY EVENING, DEC.

He commenced by stating that the greatest improvement in all branches of art, science and literature made during tho present age, was that made during the life tlmo of the present generation. In the mattor of education more particularly no other generation in the world'B history over had such Bplen id opportunities for education as aro possessed by the present The speaker went on to speak of the public tcnoola colleges, and educational institutions of aU kinds open to tho rising generation, and then alluded to tho Sunday schools.

He claimed that the system under which they are at present managed is not the proper one, because its tendency is to develop the material education of the child, while its moral nature iB neglected and allowed to lie dormant, while many practices wero allowed for their advancement which tended to pervert instead of improve the moral nature of tho child. Look at the lotteries allowed at church fairs in which these places are made no better than policy shops and gambling hells. How many young men are corrupted and driven to gambling by this practice, God and the policy shops only know. Tho speaker alluded to the uselessness of cramming the juvenile mind with dry biblical facts, instead of fascinating moral truths, and said that the experience of jail chaplains at the present tune is that there is a larger proportion of Sunday school scholars among the convicts in our prisons than there over was before. In Sing Sing three fifths of tho entire number of prisoners Were Sunday school pupils, and of these two fifths had boen pupils of Protestant Sunday schools.

At the conclusion of the paper the usual discussion took place, after which tho meeting adjourned. greatly improved mentally by his incarceration, but this is a point on whioh we venture to say there is a wide difference of opinion between Captain Meade and himself. The Captain is now at liberty and we congratulate him on his release. The discussion which the case required, to bring the facts before the publio, can only be justified by the public interest involved. In conducting it we have endeavored to avoid any reflection on those who, we are bound to believe, felt they were constrained by proper considerations to appear in an unfortunate antagonism to the venerable head of their family.

In taking leave of the oase, we trust for good, we feel bound to say that the lady members of the Meade family, whose names appear in this case, are as much admired by a large circle of acquaintances and friends for gentleness and womanly tenderness as any ladies of the land. The Kennedy Webster Cose. A jury in the City Court gave a verdiot and judgment for five thousand dollars damages against Bobert Kennedy, a druggist, for causing the death of Mrs. WaBster, by administering to her an over dose of morphine. Kennedy kept a drug store in Gowanus, In October 1867, Mrs.

"Webster, having been suffering for some days with a nervous disorder which prevented her from sleeping, sent her daughter to Kennedy's store for something to make her sleep. Kennedy had sufficient confidence in himself to prescribe for the woman without having seen her, and sent her two grains of morphine, which was taken in one dose, and the woman died. Kennedy was subjected to a criminal prosecution, indicted and tried for manslaughter, but the jury could not agree. The trial developed some curious testimony on the part of the medical witnesses. Some of the medical gentlemen examined thought the eighth of a grain of morphine was a sufficient dose, and all over that dangerous while one doctor said he had administered as much as three grains at a dose without any bad effect.

Kennedy himself claimed that he had given two grains of morphine to a patient on more than one previous occasion, and did not consider it dangerous. It was hard to decide when doctors disagreed, and the jury following their example disagreed also. The criminal proceedings there rested. The relatives of Mrs. Webster commenced a civil suit for damages against Kennedy, which has just been decided in their favor.

The jury in the civil suit had this one question before them, divested of medical and legal quibbles, did thedose of morphine administered by Kennedy to the deceased cause her death. They found that it did and gave to her family a verdict for the full amount of the compensation they claimed, and which is all the give him nnta Thursday, tbo 3d inst. Ur.

By the operation of our present system of finance, however, the metallic ourrenoy when collected is reserved only for one class of Government creditors, who holding its bonds semi annually receive their interest in coin from the National Treasury.

Equal and oxdet justice requires that all the croditors of the Government should be paid in a currency possessing a uniform value. The feasibility of making our currenoy correspond with the constitutional standard may bo seon by reference to a few facts derived from our commercial statistics. The aggregate product of precious metals in the United States from 1849 to 1807 amounted to 81,174,000,000, while for tho same period the net exports of specie wore 8741,000,000. This shows an excess of produot over net exports of 8133,000,000. There are In the Treasury 8103,407,086 in cola; in circulation in the States on the Pacific coast about 840,000,000, and a few millions in the National ana other Banks.

Taking into consideration the specie in tho country prior to 1849, and that produced since 1867, and wo have more than $300,000,000 not accounted for by exportation or by tho returns of the Treasury, and therefore most probably remaining in tho country. It is unreasonable to expect a return to a sound ourrenoy so long as tho Government and banks, by continuing to Isbuo irredeemable notes, fill the channels of circulation with depreciated paper. Notwithstanding a coinage by our mills, since 1847, of eight hundred and seventy four millions of dollars, the people are now strangers to the currency which was destined for their use and benefit and specimens of the precious metals bearing the national device are seldom seen except When pro? duced. to gratify the interest excited by their novelty. If depreciated paper Is to be continued as the permanent currency of the country, and all our coin is to become a mere article of trafllo and speculation, to the enhancement of all that is indispensable to the comfort of tho people, it would bo wise economy to abolish our mints, thus saving the nation tho care and exponso incident tojnich establishments, and let all our prect oub metals Ve exported in buillion.

Tho time has come, however, when tho government and national banks should be required to take the most efficient stop3 and make all necessary arrangements for a resumption of specie payments. Let specie payments once be eneat ly inaugurated by the government and banks, and the value of the paper circulation would directly approximate a specie standard. Specie payments having been resumed by tho Government and bankB, all notes or bills of paper issued by either of a less denomination than twenty dollars Bhould by law be excluded from circulation, so that the people may have the benefit and convenience of a gold and silver currenoy, which, in all their business transactions, will be uniform in value at homo and abroad. PUBLIC LANDS, PENSIONS PATENTS ETC. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1S08, sir million six hundred and fifty five thousand seven hundred acres of public land were disposed of.

The entire cash receipts of tho General Land Office for the same period wero 81,632,745. On the 80th of June, 1803, one hundred and sixty nine thousand six hundred and orty throo names were borne on the pension rolls, and during tho year ending on that day the total amount paid for pensions, including tho expenseB of disbursement, was 824,010,982 During the year the expenses of the Patent Office exceeded the receipts by one hundred and seventy one dollars fourteen thousand one hundred and fifty three patents were issued. Pacific Railroad bonds amounting to forty four millions have been issued. THE ABMY AND NAVY. The strength of our military force, on the 30th of September last, was I forty eight thousand men, and it is computed that by the first of January number will bo decreased to forty three thousand.

It is tho opinion of the Secretary of War that within the next year a considerable dimunition of the military force may be made without detriment to the interest of the country. The estimates of the War Department for the last two fiscal years were, for 1867 $33,814,161, and for 1868, 825,205,668. The actual expenditures durin" the same periods were, respectively $95,321,415 and $123,240,648. The difference between tho estimates and thelexpenditureB for three fiscal years is $175,545,313 for this single branch of tho publio service. Tho report of the Secretary of the Navy exhibits the operations of that department and of the navy during tho year.

A considerable reduction of tho force has been effected. There aro forty two vessels, carrying four hundred and eleven guns, in tho six squadrons which are established in various parts of the world. Throe of these vessels aro returning to tho United Slates and four are used as storoahlps, leaving tho actual cruising force thirty five vessels, carrying three hundred and fifty six guns. The number of enlisted men in the service including apprentices, has Conclusion of (be Examination Be lease of Captain JTleis.de, Wo published in yesterday's Eaolk, the proceedings in tbo caso of Captain Meade, up to tho period, when Judge Sutherland entered into a lengthy conversation with Shim for the purpose of testing his sanity to his own satisfaction. The scene at this stage of the proceedings was very impressive.

The two men, each eminent in his profession, both aged, and remembering pleasant associations of time spent in each other's company years a curious contrast. Judge Sutherland, rough and hearty looking, but nervously alive to the caso before him, and Commodore Meade, small and patrician in features, answering the questions put to him sotto voct by tho Judge with an absence of excitability and coolness remarkable to thoBe who knew his quick tempered habit of speaking. During tho conversation, which lasted about fifteen minutes, so great was the intorest manifoated in tho Court room, that a pin might have been heard to drop, and at its conclusion Dr. Halatead was called to the stand, and examined as follows; OPINION OF THE OOUBT PHYSICIAN. Judgo Sutherland Will you state what la your opinion upon this subject Dr.

Halstead His memory is clear and his observations are acute in everything that passed him during the last two or three months. He has had a alight attack of paralysis, and the only danger is that the excitement of the court would reproduco it. His brain has been a little impaired by it. His memory is as clear and distinct as that of any other man with whom I havo conversed. Judgo Sutherland Did you observe any delusion Dr.

Halstead Not at all tho only foar is that he will have another attack of paralysis Judge Sutherland Your conclusion, then, is from the conversation you had with him, that he is not insane. Dr. Halstead Sea, sir. He has been affeoted by certain circumstances which have caused him to havo an aversion to certain members of. his own family.

Judgo Sutherland You did not discover anything in that which would authorize you to pronounce him insane? Dr. Halstead No sir. STATEMENT OF THE ASYLUM DOOTOB. Dr. Brown, the physician at the asylum, then testified as follows Judge Sutherland Tou have charge of the Blooming dale Asylum Mr.

Meade has boen under your care He was brought to you by whom Dr. Brown By an officer. Counsel for Meade Yes, by an officer by the name of Crocker. He has boen at tho asylum since. Judge Sutherland Did you hoar what Dr.

Halstead haB sworn to Dr. Brown I did. Judge Sutherland Well, you are quite as competent to give your opinion as Dr. Halstead, as the Commodore has been under your care. Now do you differ from that gentleman in any respect.

Dr. Brown Well, upon tho general question my opinion might differ from his, but that aU depends upon what tho doctor's definition of Insanity might be. If it bo that he is not insane from any appearance of intellectual delusiOD, then I must concur with him. But as I understand insanity it lies in a morbid condition which affects tho feelings and judgment and natural affections of the individual, as well as his intellectual perceptions and judgment. In thot particular I have to oxpress the opinion that tho Commodore's mind is disordered in regard to the natural Oes of affection in his family, a very inadequate cause for such a condition of mind which I rogard as a morbid one.

Judge Sutherland Then you think that this aversion, which you say is unnatural, and it certainly is unnatural if you disregard tho circumstances from which it has arisen, arises from a morbid state of mind? Dr. Brown Yes Bir. I thins it is one of tho forms of insanity which incapacitates him from takin care of himself and of hia own affairs. Judge Sutherland Havo you discovered in your intercourse witji him any mental delusion? Dr. Brown None, except tho interpretation of circumstances which bear on hia case.

But I supposo that would be a question of evidence. Examined by air. Titus I havo had charge of tho Asylum seventeen years it is hard to doffno insanity within the limits of an ordinary definition, but as I interpret tho Commodore's mental oxhibition of feeling and sentiment, and the aversion and oven hatred to certain members of his own family, I regard them as evidence of what I call insanity. Ho said that there was a combination among his family to do an outrage to his name in encouraging against his will a very hasty marriage; ho said the marriage was offensive to him; ho made use of expressions of animosity against hi wifA and said that he would uso violence towards them he tol dme that he had boon to tho Staten Island ferry with the expectation of meeting his daughter in company with Mr. Landis, and was thoro prepared to tako her away by force no other threats wero manifested in regard to other members of his family I do not know other circumstances of insanity except a general mental agitation his physical condition has boen affected by paralysis this generally arises from injuries to tho brain it is usually followed by great irritability of tom per and irascibility in tho demeanor from my intercourse with him, I considered him of unsound mind whon he was brought to the aBylum, and now think that ho is of infirm mind his condition mentally I Bhould term monomania upon tho subject of his family relations.

Mr. Titus Would you think that tho membors of his own family would bo safe if ho were discharged? Mr. Waring I object to that question. Judge Sutherland You may ask it. Dr.

Brown I believo that there was dangor to tho lives of members of his own family; but at tho pre3 eut time my impression is that there is none; it is about two weeks since I have entertained the lattor opinion, for he has mado statements to me to that effect, and I do not doubt but that ho is sincere, He spoke to me in terms of groat denunciation and displeasure of tho conduct of his Bon the words havo gone from my mind perhaps tho Commodore can state. Mr. Waring You need not caU upon him. THE COMMODORE AND THE JUDGE. Commodore Meade The causes which led to tho disinheriting of my son was his mode of conduct his father; his sudden acquaintance with an individual unknown to history or to my family; particularly I didn't know him he brought this man clandestinely into my house undor an agreement made with my wife and daughter the girl that I loved that son took up arms against his father, and sided with his undo and my nephew by marriage I would have been lost to all manhood if I had borne it quietly to have my beautiful (laughter, too young to go into society, or to marry, and who had never known theso parties, to givo her life down to them.

Counsel hero attempted to interrupt tho Commodore, but ho continued. I would havo been lost to aU manhood and rogard for my character to suffer it to be disgraced and have no feeling in tho matter. Mr. Titus to Dr. Brown From what you havo aoeu of the Commodore and heard him Bay.

wnat, in your judgment, iB the state of his mind now? Is he sane or not LTho witness, instead of answering, spoke in a low tone with the Judge, aud then said I hope Mr. Titus will not press mo for an auswor. I prefer not to give it. Take for instance the celebrated trial at Albany of the Colo caso can it bo said that a man may bo insane one moment and sano tho mbmont before and after, as found by that jury? Now, about what sanity or insanity is, I think I havo bit upon tho explanation applicable to this particular case it is the modo a man acts whether he acts unnaturally or out of tho common way if ho loves whon he ought to scold, if ho trifles when he ought to be serious to say that a father whon a daughter makes a runaway match is oxcitod, and that that is an evidence of insanity, I think ia to read tho human heart and man's history to no purpose. I want to ask of Dr.

Brown whether, if this passion is carried to extremes, that is insanity. Mr. Titus interposed that the respondents should havo time to produce furthor evldonce, that it was not expected tho matter was to bo roopenod. Judge Sutherland I must decide this mattor from the affidavits, which I have read vory carefully. If Dr.

Brown was further examined, I supposo he would Bay just what he has Baid, and I don't see what further testimony could change tho case. DB. BBOWN's FUBTHEB OPINION. Dr. Brown I am willing to say this: that I think the point is ono of the powor of Itlie individual to exercise self conlroL Whatever may be tho will or iutontion, the qnesiton is one of power to act acoording to a rational view of right and wrong.

My opinion is that when tho Commodore was brought to the Asvlum hn had not the powor to control himself in his relations to his family. Furthermore, I think that during the time that he Bas remained there, his views have beon modified, and that his capacity now to exorcise control ovor himself is certainly very much greater, and I dou't think there is any very great hazard iu testing it. I think that when first brought to tho Asylum ho would not havo been morally or legally rospouaiblo for any a3ts done by him there has boon a variation in tho statements of tho Commodore of late, and I think that if, as I had BUggeBted, tho question as to when ho should be discharged had been left to himself, and the legal proceedings had been suspended if ho had been loft alono and free from tho excitement attendant uron this matter, he would have been in a bettor state of mind now. Q. Do you regard him now in a state in which ho can readily discriminate between right aud wrong in this matter? A.

not wholly. But if ho is sincere in hia statements made recently to rco, I think he would bo morally and legally responsible. Q. I want your opinion about him now, from tho knowledge you have of tho Commodore, do you regard him as legally and morally responsible for acts that ho may do in reference to these parties? A So far as he is sincere nis staioincnts to me, 1 ao. Judgo Sutherland It is doubtful whothor Jit would bo well to pursue this further.

From all tho circumstances, I think if he had actually taken lifo at tho time he is allegod to havo so threatened, tha he would have been responsible, and been guilty of tho greatest crime man is capable of. Nothing is in ovi denco before me to show tho contrary that he was not bound to control himself. There is no such thing as uncontrollable passion. The moment you give tho defi nition oi insanity to uncontronaoie passion, moment you destroy all responsibility. A man is bound to control his passion if he iB sano.

Did these bursts of passion proceed from insanity, that iB the question 1 Mr. Titus asked for an opportunity to produco proofs. Mr. De Witt claimed that, aB a matter of right, tho Commodore should bo discharged at once, becauso Dr. Brown, who was the respondent and had him in custody, was unwilling to Btato that he was insane.

Judge Sutherland I think Dr. Brown, in his last remarks, stated that of late the Commodore showed less animosity, and nad moro control over himself that ho had been much relieved by remaining there. It seems to me this matter ought to be disposed of now. The point 1b, whether anything is to be gained by a postponement. Mr.

Titus said he was placed in a very embarrassing position, as he had not anticipated the mattor would be ro opened and had not brought any witnesses. DECISION OF THE COUET. Judge Sutherland If I thought that any furthor examination of witnesses or otherwise would tend to elucidate the inquiry, I would sit further, but from tho nature of the question itself, aud under the conceded circunistanccB hero is Commodore Meade before us, we have heard him talk, and Dr. Brown, who should know moro than anybody else about his condition, has been heard, I don't boo that anything would bo gained by the examination of more witnesses. The Commodore don't deny the expressions ho has told mo tho whole story candidly.

Mr. Titus It is presenting only one side of the caso. Judge Sutherland I Bubmit whether yon can preaont this case any difforent from what it is now. I think tho Commodore will bo sorry for many of his acts, and will undo tho disinheriting of hit son. Thoro are very fow men who do uot do things they are sorry for.

I boliovo that if the Commodore is discharged it can bo done without injury to himself or anybody else. I think ho will go to his home in Washington and try and control his excitement. Commodore Meade Certainly. Judgo Sutherland I don't think there is any dangor. I don't think him insane.

I don't think his temper shows him to be insane. I say this without moaning to criticise Dr. Brown's opinion at all. Mr. Titus There are tho affidavits of Drs.

Brown and Bache, tho lattor of whom has known Commodore Meade for yoars. Judge Sutherland My opinion is founded upon tho facts in the affidavits and what I see mysolf After alL I do it on my own responsibility, though I may not agree with the Doctors. Dr. Brown Doctors, liko judges, disagree. (Laugh tor.) Judge Sutherland I snuuose I must dischartrn htm.

I think ho had better return with the Doctor to nignt. Commodore Mead I inteud to do so. Several suggestions were hero made as to what the Commodore should do.ho meanwhile sitting quiotly bo Bide the Judge. Judge Sutherland I treat the Commodoro as a sano man and havo discharged him as such, and want him to do as ho haB a mind to. (Laughter).

Ono of tho counsel spoke of certain assets that had been taken from the Commodore previous to his incarceration, but the Judge said he had nothing to do with that. Tho Commodore then chatted ploasantly with friends who were present, ana lexi mo court room with them. Young men's Christian Association.

PB0P0SED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. THE MESSAGE. Fellow Citizens of the Senate and Bouse of Representatives Upon the reassembling of Congress, it again becomes my duty to call your attention to the state of the Union, and to its continued disorganization under the various laws which have been passed upon tho subject of reconstruction, DESPOTIC AND EXCESSIVE LEGISLATION. It may be safely assumed, as an axiom in the government of States, that the greatest wrongs inflicted upon a people are caused by unjust and arbitrary legislation, or by the unrelenting decrees of despotic rulers, and that the timely revocation of injurious and oppressive measures is the greatest good that can be conferrod upon a nation. The legislator or ruler who has the wisdom and magnanimity to retrace his steps, when convicted of error, will sooner or later bo rewarded with the respect and gratitude of an intelligent and patriotao people.

Our own history, although embracing a period less than a century, affords abundant proof that most, if not all of our domestic troubleB are directly traeeable to violations of the organic law and excessive legislation. The most striking illustrations of this fact are furnished by tho onaotments of the past three years upon tho question of reconstruction. After a fair trial they have substantially failed and proved pernicious in their results, and there seems to be no good reason why they Bhould longer remain upon the statute book. States to which tho Constitution guarantees a republican form of government have been reduced to military dependencies, in each of which the people have been made subject to tho arbitrary will of the Commanding General. Although the Constitution requires that each State shall be represented in Congress, Virginia, Mississippi and Texas are yet excluded from the two Houses, and, contrary to the express provisions of that instrument, were denied participation in tho recent election for a President and Vice President of the United States.

The attempt to place the white population under the domination of persons of color in the South has impaired, If not destroyed, the kindly relations that had previously existed between them; and mutual distrust has engendered a feeling of animosity which, leading in some instances to collision and bloodshed, has prevented that eo operation between tho two races so essential to the success of industrial enterprises in the Southern States. Nor have tho inhabitants of those States alone Buffered from the disturbed condition of affairs growing out of these Congressional enactments. The entire Union has heen nsitated bv dtava apprehensions of troubles which might again involve tho peace of the nation its interests havo been injuriously affected by the derangement of business and labor, and tho consequent want of prosperity throughout that portion of tho country. HOW DISORGANIZATION ABOSE. The Federal Constitution the manna charta American rights, undor whoBe wise and salutary provisions we have successfully conducted all our domestic and foreign affairs, sustained ourselves in peace and war, and become a great nation among the Powers of the earth must assuredly bo now adequate to the settlement of questions growing out of tho civil war, waged alone for its vindication.

This great fact is mado most manifest by the condition of the country when Congress assembled in the month of December, 1865 Civil Btrif had ceased the spirit of rebellion hod spont its entire force in the Southern States the people had wanned into national life, and throughout tho whole country a healty reaction in public sentiment had taken place. By the application of the simple, yet effective provisions of the Constitution, the Executive Department, with the voluntary aid of the States, had brought the work of restoration as near completion as was within the scope of its authority, and the nation was encouraged by the prospect of an oarly and satisfactory adjustment of all its difficulties. Congress, however, intervened, and, refusing to perfect the work so noarly consummated, declined to admit members from tho unrepresented States, adopted a series of measures which arrested tho progress of restoration, frustrated all that had been so successfully accomplished, and, after three years of agitation and strife, has loft tho country farther from tho attainment of union and fra ternal teeung man at tne inception oi tho congressional plan of reconstruction. It needs no argument to show that legislation which has produced such banoful con sequences should be olse made to conform to tug general principles ot repuDhcan govermi ont. Under the influence of party passion and sectional prejudice, other acts havo boon passed not warranted by tho Constitution.

Congress has alreadyjbeon made familiar with my views respecting the "tenure of office Experience haB proved that its repeal is demanded by the beat interests of tho country, and that while it remains in force tho President cannot enjoin that rigid accountability of public officers so oasontial to an honoBt and efficient execution of the laws. Its revocation would enable tho executive department to exercise tho power of appointment and removal in accordance wun tno original aesign ot ino a eaerai constitution. The" act of March 2, 1867, making appropriations for tho support of the army for the year ending June 30, 18C8, and for other purposes, contains provisions whioh interfere with the President's constitutional functions as commander in chief of the army, and deny to States of the Union the right to proteot themselves by means of their own militia. These provisions Bhould be at once annuued for the first might, in times of great emergency, seriously embarrass the Executive in efforts to employ and direct the common strength of the nation for its protection and preservation, tho other is contrary to the express declaration of the Constitu tion, that "a well regulated rmlitia, being necessary to the security of a free State, tho right of the poople to keep and shall bear arms not to be infringed," It is behoved that tho repeal of all such laws would bo accepted by the American people as at least a partial return to the fundamental principles of the govern ment, and an indication that hereafter the Constitution is to bo the nation's safe and unerring guide. They can be productive of no permanent benefit to tho country, and Bhould not be permitted to stand aa so many monuments of tho deficient wisdom which has characterized our recent legislation.

THE FIN AN CBS INCREASE OF EaTENDITUBE. The President next discusses the expenditures, which he Bhows have increased much faster in proportion, than wealth and population. The population of the United States in 1790 was near ly four millions of people. Increasing each decade about thirty throe per cent, it reached in 1860 thirty, one millions an increase of seven hundrod per cent, on the population in 1790. Inl8G9it is estimated that it will reach thirty eight millions, or an increase of eight hundred and Bixty eight per cent, in Boventy nine years.

The annual expenditures of the Federal Government in 1791 were four million two hundred thousand dollars in 1820, eighteen million two hundrod thousand dollars in 1860, forty ono millions; in I860, Bixty threo millions; in 1865, nearly thirteen hundred millions and in 18G9 it is estimated by the Secretary of the Treasury, in his last annual report, that they will be thrco hundrod and seventy two millions. ay comparing tne puDlic disbursements of 1869, aB estimated, with those of 1791, it will be seon that tho iucreaso of expenditure since tho beginning of tho Government has been eight thousand six hundrod and eighteen per centum, while the increase of tho population for the same period was only eight hundred and sixty eight per centum. Again, tho oxpcnse3 of the Government in 1860, the yoar of peace immediately preceding tho war, wero only aixty threo millions, while in 11:69, the year of peace three years aftor the war, it is estimated they will bo three hundred and seventy two millions an increaso of our hundred and, eighty nine per centum, while tho increase of populit tion was only twenty ono por centum for the samo period. Theso statistics further show that in 1791 the annual national expenses, compared with the population, were little more than one dollar por capita, and in 1860 but two dollars per capita while in lficy they will reach the extravagant Bum of nine dollars and soventy oight cents per capita. It will bo observed that all these statements refer to and exhibit the disbursements of peace periods.

Tho President then discusses tho cost of tho various wars, and the total expenditure since the civil war. Ho advocates economy and reduction, as tho only salvation of our political institutions. Tho internal revonue and custoniB receipts aro growing loss, whiloa hundred millions a year ore expended for military purposes, much of which iB rendered necessary by unconstitutional and despotic legislation. More and higher taxes uill bo needed, unless economy be enforced. 'i'hh tebt.

The President states the debt on tho 1st 1868, at $2,527,1 9,562, and estimates that at the ond of December millions will havo beon addod to the debt during the year 1868. Tho debt should bo paid off, as soon as possible. Says tho President: The truth of their labors Bhould bo enjoyed by our citizens, rather than used to build up and sustain moneyed monopolies in our own and other lands. Our foreign debt is already computed by the Secretary of the Treasury at 850,000,000 citizens of foreign countries receive interest upon a large portion of our securities, and American taxpayers arc made to contribute large sums for thotr support. The idea that Buch a debb is to become permanent should be at all times discarded, as involving taxation too heavy to be borne, and payment once in every sixteen years, at the present rate of interest, of an amount equal to the original sum.

This vast debt, if permitted to become permanent and increasing, must eventually bo gathered into tho hands of a few, and enable them to exert a dangerous and controlling power in the affairs of the government. Tho borrowers would become servants to tho lenders the lenders tho masters of the people. Wo now pride ourselves upon having given freedom to 4,000,000 of the colored race it willjthen.be our shame that 40,000,000 of people, by their own toleration of usurpation and profligacy, havo suffered thomseives to become enslaved, and merely exchanged slave owners for now taskmasters in the ehape of bondholders and tax gatherers. THE PRESIDENT'S MODE OF PAYING THE DEBT. Tho general impression as to tho oxorbitaucy of the existing rato of interest has led to an inquiry in the public inind respecting the consideration which tho government has actually rocoived for its bonds, and tho conclusion is becoming prevalent that tho amount which it obtained waa in real money throo or four hundred per cent, less than tho obligations which it issued in return.

It cannot bo denied that wo are paying an extravagant percentage for the use of tho money borrowed, which was paper currency, groatiy depreciated below the value of coin. Tho fact is made apparent when we consider that bondholders receive from the Treasury, upon each dollar they own in Government securities, six per cent, in gold, which is nearly or quite equal to nine per cent, in currency that the bonds are then converted into capital for the national banks, upon which those institutions issuo thoir circulation, bearing six per cent, interest; and that they are exempt from taxation by the Government ond the States, and thereby enhanced two por cent, in tho hands of tho holders. We thus havo an aggregate of seventeen per cent, which may bo recovered upon each dollar by the owners of government socurities. A system that produces such results is justly regarded as favoring a few at tho exponso of many, and has led to the further inquiry whether our bondholders, in view of the large profitB which they have onjoyod, would themselves be averse to a settlement of our indebtedness upon a plan which would yield them a fair remuneration, and at the same time be just to tho tax pay orB of tho nation. Our national credit should bo sacredly observed but in making provisions for our creditors wo Bhould not forget what iB due to the masses of the people.

It may be assumed that the holders of our BecuritieB havo already received upon their bonda a larger amount than thoir original investment, measured by a gold standard. Upon this statement of facts it would but seem just and equitable that the six per cent, intorest now paid by tho Government should be applied to the reduotion or the principal in semi annual installments, 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 and a half times in a fraction less than seventeen years. This in connection with all tho other advantages derived from their investment would afford to the publio creditors a fair and liberal compensation for the use of thoir capital, and with this they should bo satisfied.

Tho lessons of the past admonish the lender that it Is not well to be over anxious in exacting from the borrower rigid compliance with the letter of the bond. The President goes on to show the beneficial effect of the stimulus which a distinct prospect of the removal of the dobt would give to every interest and industry of the land. He next takes up the question of THE CURRENCY On this subject the President says At tho beginning of the rebellion the bank note circulation of the coun The Cole Hiscock case concluded amid the most cheerful circumstances. "When the verdict was announced the crowded audience "broke out in irrepressible applause." The prisoner thanked the Court for a fair trial and the jury for his discharge. Then the Court thanked the juryfor its patience and attention.

Then Cole and his Counsel and the jurors and several oitizens shook hands all around. Then the jurors and the lawyers and Cole and his friends retired to the Dela van House where "a bounteous entertainment was spread." Unfortunately the toasts and speeches are not published. Nor is it reported that the family and friends of the murdered man were invited to the entertainment. Nothing but their presence was needed to perfect the pleasurabje success of the congratulatory banquet.

Fourteenth Begiment, came off last evening at the City Assembly Booms, in Washington street. It was decidedly an interesting and enjoyable affair, and its systematic arrangements bespeak great credit for those having the entertoinmont in charge The hall, at all times an elegant one, was made more attractive by tho decorations with whioh the company had adorned the room. The rogimental colors hung suspended from each gallery, and from the gas lights around the hall hung small blue silk flags, each one of them bearing tho name of one of tho battles in which this gallant regiment had participated the number of flags corresponded with the number of battles the regiment had been engaged in. Midway of tho room, on ono side, just opposite tho main entrance, was a stand of arms and guidons. The cloak room and Bupper arrangements was perfection itself.

Connor's Fourteenth Reg iment band furnished tho music for tho elegant company to trip through tho thirty dances tho programme called for. To describe the elegant toilets, and to speak of the beautiful ladies present in detail, would take up loo much space, but euiiico it to say there woro mc there, and that they thoroughly enjoyed them selves from tho beginning to tho close.

Xne President's message. The President, as was to be expected, reiterates in his present message to Congress the same strong antagonism which his former messages have uttered against their reconstruction polioy. But more noticeable, and more novel than this part of the message, is the part relating to the financial questions. Mr. Johnson shows, with the force of simple statement of overwhelming facts, the greatness of the burden the people have to bear in expenditure and debt, and he then gives his views in respect to the mode of its removal.

It is significant of the tendencies of publio policy in the immediate future that men of all parties and shades of opinion leaders of thought in each quarter of the political world are united in demanding some thoroughgoing policy in order to dispose of the debt. "Wendell Phillips says, "it must be low Interest." Mr. Pendleton says "it must be paid off in large annual installments," and now the Preaident proposes to pay interest 4r a definite period in lieu of principal. The plan seems crude, to say the least, but serves as an indication that something must be done on the debt question, before long. The burden cannot long be borne in its present shape.

It must be shifted and adjusted more oomforta bly on the shoulders of the bearer than if is now, or it will slip off. The President's views on currency seem rather to indicate the strength of his desire to return to specie payments than to mark oat a definite plan by which this desirable end can be effected. The reference to Paraguay is unexpectedly mild. The advocacy of the annexation of Cuba and Hayti will startle the European powers, but none of them will cross the path of manifest destiny, should Congress, for once, coincide with the President in this matter. The Alabama and other questions with England are passed over very briefly.

The President reproduces his proposed amendments of the Constitution, which nearly every one had forgotten, and which, except the one about electing a Senator by the people, are of no practical importance or effect one way or the other. On the whole, the message is an interesting document, and in the condensed form in which we it, will well repay perusal. The Release of Captain meade. In the Eagle of the First of December just eight days ago the facts in relation to the incarceration of Captain Meade were first brought to the attention of the public. Captain Meade's reputation is familiar to the people throughout the country his home, his family, his character, his habits, his person are known to thousands of the citizens of Brooklyn.

Hia long connection with the Navy Yard here the services he has rendered to the country his intimate relationship with tie General who led the armies of the in the great contest on which its life was staked, all contributed to make him an object of interest whenever or wherever he made his appearance. He is one of a small class to whom men deem it to be a kind of duty and a sort of satisfaction to call attention. As he passed in the streetB, those who recognized him secured for themselves a certain distinction by pointing him out, with the remark "There goes old Captain Meade," or, "Have you ever seen General Meade's brother There he is." That a man who was so well known, and who must have so many influential friends, could have been taken from the community in which he occupied so conspicuous a figure, hurried off to a public lunatic asylum to be confined there for five weeks, in defiance of his own remonstrances, without the privilege of communicating personally or by letter with his friends that his counsel should have tried all the legal remedies devised for the protection of individual liberty in vain, and that not one word of all this should have reached the public, during the time specified, are facts as startling as any embraced in a judicial procedure within our recollection. The judge mainly interested in this case has charged the Eagle with endeavoring to give a "sensational complexion to it. "With all due deference to the Court we beg to say that we recited the facts in Captain Meade's case with judicial fairness we used no trick of typographical art to call unusual attention to it, and if the case has created a sensation it is only because it revealed a condition of things as possible under the forms of law which is a disgrace to this age and country.

Again, the Judge sees fit in his final action in the case to deprecate the part taken in it by the Eagle. In taking this course he will find himself at issue not only with Captain Meade and his friends but with the publio, who will see in the prompt issue which the Eagle has secured in this case, one of the most signal advantages a free and vigilant Press can secure, not only for the community at large, but for the rights and liberties of every individual composing it. From the day the case of Captain Meade passed from the chambers of the Courts into the broad arena of discussion which the Pre33 alone can provide, every man knew that a satisfactory settlement of the Meade case could not be long delayed by eithor the quibbles of the lawyers, the proverbial crotchets of physicians who make insanity a study, or the indifference of the Judges busied.like so many acrobats in flinging from one to the other the ball which Wall street speculators toss into the air, with the purpose of picking the pockets of those who can be got to gap and gaze at the evidence of their knavish dexterity. The Press did not demand the release of Captain Moade as a satisfactory solution of the case, but it did insist that if his incarceration as a lunatic was prolonged, there should be such evidence of his insanity placed before the public as would satisfy all that he was rightfully deprived of his as would guarantee to every citizen his rights so long as he kept within the law, and refrained from interfering with the rights of others. The promptness with which Judge Sathor land acted in setting Captain Meade at liberty yesterday is deserving of public commendation.

In the line of conduct he pursued there is a certain boldness and courage which command respect when displayed on the bench in behalf of an individual citizen. Those who read the report of the case elsewhere published will be surprised, howevor, not by the Captain's liberation now, but by the fact of his imprisonment as a lunatic at all. The Captain's conduct and language before the Court was not unmarked by characteristic eccentricity, but they afforded no evidence of unsoundness of intellect, and the conclusion is irresistible that if Captain Meade is not fitted to be at large now, he ought to have been in durance for the past five and twenty years at least. The evidence given by Dr. Brown, the keepe of the Lunatic Asylum, seems to us to show the danger there is in accepting the opinion of men who consider they are adepts in discovering the evidences of insanity.

Professional pride seemB to incline them to discover what plain people fail to detect, and professional pride is as much of monomania as any which afflicts Captain Meade on the subject of his family alliances. In England a physician deemed to be at the head of his profession in treating unsoundness cf mind, carried his professional theory just one step further than Dr. Brown. Thelat ter admits that he bases his judgment that Captain Meade is now legally responsible for his conduct, as other men are, on conversations which he has held with him. The English doctor prided himself on discerning the insanity of a patient, whom he acknowledged was rational on every subject, except that most vital to himself his own mental condition.

He would not acknowledge that he was insane, and was held to be so because he was not a maniac like the doctor. Doctor Brown "through counsel" appeared before Judge IkH in this District to urge technical pleas against judicial interference, and yet when the Doctor is brought into Court, he refuse's to swear that Captain Meade is now insane. The Doctor indeed says that his patient has been THE CHIEF ENGINEER. Kc Electi in of tUo Present Incumbent. For the last three or four days the election of Chief Engineer Cunningham haB been a foregone conclusion, consequently last night there was but vory little excitement although thero was a groat deal of interest manifested.

The votes were canvassed at Firemen's Hall, in Henry street, the canvassers being Messrs.NevlnB, Walsh and Campbell. The Hall was well filled by "laddies," who waited until all the votes wore received and then quietly dispersed. It is hardly necessary to say that the two candidates were John Cunningham, tho present incumbent, and James Gaffney.

Many deaths have been caused by mis takes of druggists in putting up prescriptions wrongly, or giving one drug for another. This has led to the disclosure of the fact that there are a great many incompetent persons employed as drug clerks, and shows the necessity for some law regulating the busi. ness. The present case does not, however, belong to that category Kennedy has claimed and shown evidence that he was educated to the drug business he made no unintentional mistake in giving Mrs. Webster two grains of morphine.

His only mistake was in presuming to practise as a physician, and with all the confidence of self assurance, prescribing for a patient he had never seen, and recklessly employing a drug that should always be used with caution. It is not an uncommon thing for druggists to do as Kennedy did. Poor people who are afraid of the expense of calling in a physician when taken with some little ailment will run to the nearest drug store and ask the clerk to prescribe for them, and in nine Cases out of ten he will do it. How much injury is done by this practice it is im posible to tell but the risk that is run can be imagined. As a general thing these prescribing druggists no doubt, confine themselves to simple specifics, but their wrong applications may do irretrievable injury.

The verdiot against Kennedy may serve as a warning to ambitious apothecaries, to stick to their pestle and mortar and leave physician's work alone. The Alleged Election Eeatjds. Judge Troy's reference of the alleged election frauds to the Grand Jury is well timed. It is well, if there have been little or no tampering with the ballot box, that the people who have been led by the Tribune and otner papers to believe that spurious or illegal ballots were voted by the thousand in this city, shall be undeceived. And, on the other hand, if the vote in every district of the city, with scarcely an exception, was genuinely cast and honestly counted and declared, but in one particular district there was a fraud, changing the result of an election to the Assembly then it is well that this should, be brought to light, and the conspirators against tho purity of the franchise be punished.

The foreman of the present Grand Jury, Hon. Tunis G. Bergen, is patient in inquiry and indefatigable in labor, while his name will lend force to any presentment or indictment the body over which he presides may make. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the subject of election frauds in this county will be honestly and thoroughly ventilated. Justices' Justice.

In landlord and tenant cases tho Justices of the Peace are entitled to retain the fees for their own use. The consequence is that they are naturally anxious to try as many of such cases as possible. Instances have occurred in which a man who had obtained a favorable decision, from the nearest Justice's Court to his residence and to the locality of the premises respecting which the dispute arises, finds himself forthwith summoned to answer substantially the same complaint in another Justice Court at the other end of the city. It would perhaps be well to restrict the jurisdiction of each Justice in landlord and tenant cases to his district. At present each has jurisdiction throughout the whole city.

rOPECS OIF On Monday Disraeli surrendered to the Queen the seals of office. Prom this fact may ho inferred tho completion of Gladstone's Cabinet and its immediate assumption of governmental duties. In England on Sunday night and Monday morning prevailed a heavy gale, apparently the coun terpart of the breezy blow which visited this part of the world last evening. On the other side of the Atlantic ships suffered and houses were blown down. Later telegrams give ground for hope that all the paBsengers and crew of the Hibernia may have been saved.

Two boats) containing 52 per sons, have arrived safely. The remaining throe are missing, but not one of them is known to have been lost. The composer of Young Italy, Verdi, proposes that tho memory of tho compoBor of Old Italy, Rossini, shall be honored by the performance, on the anniversary of the latter's death, in the church of Bologna, of a requiem mass to be writ ten jointly by the distinguished Italian musical authors, with Mercadante at then: head. The resulting work would be a curiosity at least. On tho 1st of January next will go into effect in Europe a telegraphic arrangement, made by the recent Convention at Vienna, under which rates will be equalized and prices reduced.

The charge for minimum messages of twenty words to India will be 61J francB, a reduction of about one half, which is tho average modification of the tariff. Files of foreign papers show that the gold gamblers in announcing the death of the French Em peror the other day perhaps only discounted an event not remote. The health of Napoleon is re ported to be decidedly impaired. He could not hunt at Compeigno and had to be helped to and from his carriage. At a public affair at the Chateau ho was compelled to sit although the ladies of tho party remained standing, and at the theatre he waB gloomy and abstracted.

After four hours deliberation tho jury in the Deacon Andrews case last evening returned a verdict of manslaughter. No reason for the conclusion reached was given, as in the Cole case. The medical testimony did not favor the theory of insanity and thpiief Justice oharged that that part of the defence had not been sus tained. The jury therefore probably adopted the other theory that the killing was self defensive against the outrageous assault of Holmes. The prisoner was sentenced to twenty years imprison ment.

Nothing special has occurred countries.

A fleet has beon sont to Paraguay to protect American citizens alleged to bo illegally detained there. Explanation has been, aakod for national injuries committed by the President of Hayti. The President thus suggests annexation of the island of Cuba It cannot be long before it will bocome necessary for this Government to lend some effective aid to tho solution of the political and social problems which are continually kept before the world by the two republics of the Mand of St. Domingo, and which aro now disclosing themselves moro distinctly than heretofore in tho Island of Cuba. The subject is commended to your consideration with all tho more earnestness becauso I om satisfied that tho time has arrived when even so direct a proceeding as a proposition for an annexation of the two republics of the Island of St.

Domingo would not only receive tho consent of the people interested, but would also give satisfaction to all other foreign nations. Negotiations with England. No practical regulation concerning colonial trado and the fisheries can be accomplished by treaty betweon the United States and Great Britain until Congress Bhall havo expressed their judgment concerning tho principles involved. Three other questions, howovor, remain open for adjustment. Those aro tho mutual rights of naturalized boundary question involving the title to the Island of San Juan, on tho Pacific coast, the mutual claim since the year 1853 of the citizens and subjects of tho two countries for injuries and dopredatious committed under the authority of their respective Governments.

Negotiations upon these subjocts aro pending, and I am not without hope of being able to lay bo fore the Senate, for its consideration during the present session, protocols calculated to bring to an end these justly exciting and long existing controversies. THE PBOPOBED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. I renew the recommendation containod in my communication to Congress dated the 18th July last a copy of which accompanies this message that tho judgment of the people Bhould be taken on tho propriety of bo amending tho Federal Constitution that it shall provide 1st. For an election of President and Vice PreBident by a direct vote of tho people, instead of through tho agency of electors, and making them ineligible for ro election to a second term. 2d.

For a distinct designation of tho person who shall discharge the duties of President, in the event of a vacancy in that office by the death, resignation, or removal of both the President aud Vice President. 3d For tho election of Senators of the United StatoB directly by tho people of the several States, instead of by the Legislatures and 4th. Por the limitation to a period of years of the terms of Federal judges. Prolouiidly impressed with the propriety of making theso important modifications in the Constitution, I respectfully submit them for tho early and mature cou sideraLon of Congress. CONCLUSION.

In Congross aro vested all legislative powers, aud upon them devolveB the responsibility as well for framing unwise and excessive laws, as for neglecting to devise and adojit mcasuros absolutely deniandod by tho wants of the country. Let us earnestly hope that before the expiration our respective terms of service, now rapidly drawing to a close, an all wise Providence will so guide our counsels as to strengthen tho Constitution, restore prosperity and happiness to our whole people, and proinoto "on earth peace, good will toward men." LOftG ISLAKD HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Explorations in Palestine Addresses by Rev. W. I.

Huuington Si. Dr. William 1H. Thompson, mid lie v. A.

P. Putnam. A regular meeting of the Long Island Historical Society was held last evening in the chapel of the Packer Institute, and waa very largoly attondod notwithstanding the unfavorable state of tho weather. After the transaction of some routine business Rev. W.

1. Budington D. D. was introducod, who after stating that he had no paper to read, said that owing to the kindness of a friend he was enabled to show them some diagrams of tho explorations now going on in Palestine. The diagrams arranged on tho platform in full view of the audience and Dr.

Budington proceeded to explain that tho "Palestine Restoration Fund" owed its origin to Georgo Grove, of the Sydenham Crystal Palace, it had receivod efficient support from many prominent men in England, and had for its patron the Queen of Great Britain. Tho main object of tho enterprise was to endeavor to bring to light all sources of information existing in Palestine. Very little now remains on tho surface, and all of interest must come from beneath tho BOiL At preaont operations wero being carried on to find the remains of what had beon the ancient City of Jerusalem. A preliminary exploration of that city had been made by Captain Wilson, who gave to the world a very perfect map, indeed, the most porfect map which had ever been given. Tho prosont expedition was under tho superintendence of Lieut.

Warren, of the Royal Engineers, who was assisted by a competont corpB of engineers and a large force of native workmen, and he has displayed as much judgment and tact in managing those men as was displayed by Mr. Layard. Lieut. Warren began with the determination to take nothing for graulod, ond it was really Burprising how very few things could bo taken for granted. Mounts Olivet and Moriah, and valleys of Eedion and Hinrium had been satisfactorily located and ho Bup poBed it was generally admitted that somewhere on Mount Moriah tho Temple of Soloman had stood that it was the original site of the templo.

Aftor Btating that the great purpose of Iaeut. Warren, in his present explorations, was to discover tho original site of tho temple, Dr. Budington turn ed to the diagrams and proceeded to show what progress had been made towards accomplishing his objoct, and af ter a vory minute and interesting explanation, ho appealed to the members of tho Society to aid Lieut. Warren in carrying his labors to a successful termination, and by that means show to the world that tho Christians of America, as well as the Christians of Great Britain, wore interested in all that pertained to tho birth placo of their religion. WiUiamH.

Thompson, M. of New York, who had the good fortune to be born in Palestine, then read a short paper showing the necessity for exploring beneath tho soil for relics of former ages and related several incidents which had como under hia own observation of valuable rolics being accidentally discovered only a fow feet below the surface, ono of the most important of those being the discovery of a stone bearing a lengthy inscription in Phonecian characters which satisfactorily noitled the fact that the Grook alnbabot had beon taken from the Phonecians. Tho fact was ascertained by tho Doctor himself only a few years since, as he was tbo first one to whom the inscription was shown by the native who discovered tho stone, ho was engaged for five hours in copying it, and thon ho and his father spent many days and nightB in comparing it with tho Greek characters before the question of their identity was settled. When tho news of the discovery was mado public tho English Government authorised their Consul Genoral to expend tho sum of ten thousand ponuds sterling to purchase the stone, which had been offerod to the Doctor for nine dollars. Ho howover declined to tako it on finding that at least one thousand men would bo required to lift it.

The French Government also tried to got possession of it, and finally succeeded, and the stone is now ono of the most interesting objectB in the Louvro. Rev. A. P. Putnam, of this city, aftorwarda dolivored a short addrees on tho great interest attached to all which relates to tho Gospel lands, and tho importance of having them as carefully explored as the ancient cities of Greece and Rome have been.

Rev. Dr. Storrs then gavo a history of the City of JordEOlem and argued that the immense amount of debris which has accumulated over its most ancient sites, and which (as shown from diagrams) is in Borne places from eighty to ond hundrod feot in depth, might bo accounted for by its many destructions. Tho present explorations would throw, much more light upon Sacred History than would tradition, and as an instance of this he mentioned the fact that the spot where tho martyrdom ot Stophon is supposed to have taken place, bas with equal certainty been located on both aides of Jerusalem. On the conclusion of tho different addresses the speakers were warmly applauded, and shortly after ten o'clock the meoting adjournea.

Forrest played in Troy, and the local press said Time has wrought great changes in Mr. Forrest since we saw him last, and they are mostly all for the better. His elocution is more finished, his manner less rob oat. his pathos tenderer, his style more ohaste, and consequently nia wnoie penormanoe ia more artisno ana eaeoave..
