PEESIDENT OP THE HKITED STATES* OF AJIEEIOA : A PBOCEAJIATIOJJ ; The completed circle of summer and •ffiater, seed time and harvest, has brousht ns to the accustomed season at which a religions people celebrate -witbL praise and thanksgiving the enduring mercy of Alfflighty God, The de vout and public confession of the constant dependence of man upon the Divine Father for all the good gifts of health, peace and happi ness, so early in our history maUe a habit ofonr people, finds in the survey of the past year new grounds for its J oyful and grateful manifestation. In all blessings which depend upon benignant seasons, this has indeed been a memorable year. Over a wide territory of our country, with all its diversity of soil, climate and products, the earth has yielded a bountiful return to the labor of the husbandman. The health of the people has been blighted by no prevalent or wide spread diseases. No great disasters of shi •nrreok upon our coasts or to our commerce tbe seas have brought loss and hardship TWEED. The Times states that another ef fort will be made for the release of Tweed under the incoming Attorney- General# under the qlaaso in the re vised statute relative to debtors im- priaoned in civil cases. Creditors with claims amounting to two-tbirds of the indebtedness may secure a debtor’s discharge from imprisonment upon the assignment of his property. In the present ease the only creditor of any consequence is the people, repre sented by the Attorney-General, and it is expected that h e will take action to release Tweed. merchants or mariners, and clouded the hap- of the community with sympatheth row.

The Sun puhlishes an interview with General Butler, in which h e attributes the Republican success in Massachu setts to the efforts o f custom house oflScials, who did two months’ work in two weeks. M r. Butler says he doesn’t' know what the President’s civil ser vice order means.. I f i t means a rule for certain citizens of the United States to direct and guide p rivate ac tions, it-is contemptible. I f it means a new rule of political eonductj it is wrong in principle. I f the Southern policy was a necessity, as Senator Hoar says it was, it is neither to be objected to nor commended. If it in sures the pacification of the South and induces a portion o f the people to act with the Republican party, the policy is a success; but there are no signs HERE AHJ^TEHRE.

The Tribune says the Senatorial caucus was not called at Conkling’s suggestion, but in accordance with the desire of a majority of Senators. After Senator Edmunds annonneed the object _pf the caucus, discussion became general. One of the great events was the speech of Conkling. Those who sympathize with him say he spoke eloquently of the Hepublican party. H e spoke of the Democratic party in terms of bitterness. Gradu ally, and without display of anger, he ted to the questions for considera tion o f which the caucus was called. H e expressed his opinions in S^evere W tern Union Com pany. — Prof. Perkius, of Schenectady, fails to find any trac's of poison in the stomachs of tbe Fonda sisters, whoEa death so m y steriously occurred at Gloversville a few weeks since. ■ I t is thought by several physicians that death was the f 'uit of auffoeation by coal gas. — In future each hotel runner in Syracuse is to stand by a station con taining the name of the hotel for which he is a drummer, and all shout ing and bellowing is to be stopped. The stations have been distributed by lot by the Mayor o f the city, a various hotels have signed an meot to abide by the arrangement for one year. In future tbe trav- eling public can emei'ge from the depot without imagining that they have come among a band of lunatics. — The Superintendent of prisons reports a noticeable decrease in ex penditures and a handsome addition to the receipts in all the penal insti tutions o f our State. Under the new system j t is evident that the prisons will soon become self-sustaining, and the people will be relieved of the tax to supply prison deficiencies, which has sometim?3 amounted to the neigh borhood of a million dollars a year. — A shipw reckri A rtie sailor, who has recently returned to civilization, brings back 'a silver teaspoon that once belonged to Sir John Franklin. Ha algo givrq definite information, ob tained from Esquimaux, that Sir John Franklin’s vessel was crushed by ice thirty years ago, The command and crew were sheltered by . the natives, hpt the season was severe, game scarce, and one after another Sir John and his men died and were buried. The records of the Prankiin expedition were also buried at Englefieid, 900 miles inland. A ship will be fitted out a t 21 ew York to recover them. • A carious feature of the recent earthquake, in Montreal, was that animals seemed to have a knowledge that something unusual was coming.

They are gentle men who know the worth of a dollar, and who will protect the interests of the tax-payer and the people of H e r kimer County in general, against rais ed bills, exorbitaat prices, and high salaries. M any of them have had the benefit of previous experience, and understand well the games of tricksters. These will be a great aid to the others, and harmonious work ings will expedite a il transactions.

H e is said to have spoken of the late New York Custom House appointments and to have quoted the President’s oft-repeated assertion that competent and efficient officers were not to be removed. Mr. Conkling and otheK referred to the Constitutional profis^ ion which requires that the President shall, with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoint officers, etc. Some of the President’s supporters answered that nobody, n o t even the President himself, had assumed to take from ■Senators the right to advise in appoint ments. But he pays no a^ttenfcion to our advice, was the reply. M any Sen ators disclaimed personal grounds for complaint. Senators had been advised to go to the W h ite House, but some of them said when they did so the President did not refer in his conver sation either to political topics or ap pointments. Senators,^ therefore, did a o t rep e a t t h e i r visits, ag they did not ) to go to the White House to talk about the weather o r to ecdotes. which jumped on the bed and left her tail upon his chin a n d forehead.

The latter is most probable, as xurther Turkish despatches reiterate the accounts o f the Russian defeat in last attack, which would be hardly possfole had not reinforcements ar- k m - weather o r to exchange an- cuuoies. The Senator who appeared to feel more intensely than most others was Jones, of Nevada, whose hostility to the President is represented as both Norway—Duke T. DuBois, dem, Ohio-~John H. Fisher, dem.

The New York JBerald says i t begins to be noticed in W ashing ton th a t the opposition to the Presi dent more a nd more openly speak of General G rant as their ideal of a president, and as theiV nominee in im o . personal grievences into the caucus, and he did not think that any other Senator ought to do so, either. It was decided, just before the ad journment, to send a communication to the President.
