T H E WKDJHESBAY^DECEmBBR. iS, iSC * . THE PEESIDENT’S MESSAGE. This Doeument reached us too late for insertioa this xreek. W e shall en deavor .to publish it entire in our CGNGEES3. f Congress met again on Monday lastj to vote a*iTay the people’s money and spend its time in wrangling over the Southern States, and’the spoils o f its own corruption. I t is said that the Eadical Eump has need of a ll its wis dom to solve the financial problem and the other questions o f importance which will come before it. W e think it has need o f much more wisdom than it possesses or has given' evidence of having. One part o f the programme for the coming se^ion is to tinker the nflairs of Georgia, and fir masters so th a t hereafter she will not h e so rebel lious as to elect D e m o c r a tic Congress-’ men. Virginia ifiust he attended to also, and treason properly rebuked in the Old Dominion. Mississippi and T e x a s w ill doubtless h e m ore fortunate at the hands o f th e R a c icx ls as the b a llo t b o x has been propeidy g u a rded by the military and the rebels pre vented from voting. W h a t w ill be done with blew York .is a question of the utmost fmportance. T h e rebel? in that State have swept things at the la t e election and even go so f a r a s t o dem a n d all th e offices in the gift o f the Governor, and say that they mean to control the State'for the n ext twen ty years. This is the height of impu dence and the necessity o f doing some- i i o t i B i m s m m fioiii: m u i . A lb e r t D . R icbardson, th e w e ll knowa ituthor and one of tie editor? o f t h e H e w Y o r k w n » sh o t at and mortally wounded while in tho Tribune covtniing-xoom on Thursday o f l a s t w e e k , by o n e D a n i e l M c D a r - knd . The latter is about 50 :^ear8 o f age, and h u a divorced wife Iwenty years his junior and very fascinating.\’ H e alleges that Richardson had alien ated her afiections from him„and had held improper relations with her.— About two years since McFarland -at- • ' tacked Eichardson on the street, and slightly wounded him with a pistol ball, while he was escorting Mrs. Mc Farland from the W inter Garden Theater, where she was playing an engagement, to her residence, f t is stated by Richardson and his friends that McFarland treated hia wife so abuBively that she was compelled to leave him prior to the divorce, and that Eichardson’s atten tions toward her have not been o f an improper -char acter, but Only given out o f sympathy and friendship. However the > case- may he there is no excuse fot the cow ardly assault o f McFarland and he deserves the . full punishment which the offence merits. . Mr. Richardson was married on the evening o f H o v . 30th to the late Mrs. McFarland b y Henry Ward Beecher, assisted by R ev. O. R . Frothingham. . rPL. jfflE nOTlHOIL OP pHltOOHATS. W e are pleased to see that the D e mocracy properly appreciate the .im- portaneenf the victory which has been won, and the great responsibility which attaches thereto. Before the opening o f the session a council, o f Democrats is to be | e l d at 'Albanyi at which different parts o f the State will be represented, and the leading men of the party have an opportunity for consultation. This will afford a chance for the •interchange of opiniOh* and cannot b ut result in the greatest good to the party ^nd the people, for we believe that whatever is beneficial to the D e m o c r a tic party is also henefi- affairs in California, will he a great problem for the w inter. W e have great faith that Congressman Laflin w i ll be equal to the occasion, and pro pose something which will restore peace and prosperity to H e w Y o r k . W e T v o u ld s u g g e s t t h a t i t - is a inafc* ter of minor importance that we still struggle under a depreeiated paper currency after five years o f profimnd peace, and that it matters n ot a t all whether the debt is ever paid or the taxes lowered. It is quite hard work now for the poor to live in consequence o f h igh prices, and the general felling off o f business. W e therefore suggest that the pay of our poor Congressmen be increased, and lest G r ^ t -should c o m e t o p o v e r t y a n d \waiit t h a t so m e thing be also done for him. I t would also be well to remember our poor manufacturers and bond hoidem. The rich laboring man is just eating up the substance o f these classes and eon- stamiy demanding more, in fact the W orking m en w a n t h igh e r w a ges a l l th e w h ile and the number o f hours w h ich constitute a days w o rk reduced. T h e s e are greviances w h ich can b e tolerated no longer. W e again look to Congressman Laflin for relief and demand that something be done. Det the tariff he raised Upon neces saries and t a k e n o ff o f th e few lu x u ries that are now taxed. L et appropri ations be made to pay all of Grant’s traveling expenses. L e t protection be extended and increased. L et a spe cial fund be provided for the Presi dent to speculate with. L et enough money bo appropriated to secure the election of Radicals to the-next Con gress, and above all let a good round sum be appropriated'&r Mr. Laflin’s private use to secure h is re-nom ina- tion. I f Congress w ill follow these suggestions o f purs it w ill consistently follow out the policy it liaa so glori ously inaugurated and maintained for the past few years, and will leave be hind it a record unstained by a single honorable act, undefiled by a single law looking to the interests o f riiopeo-^ pie or the prosperity of the nation.-:- Let consistency rei^n'\atrihn capital, and let no future historian say that tb e 41gt Congress’ has performed an act unworthy o f the loyal patriot^ w ho compose it. W e have no feam that our own member will d& anything to' mar his Radical Tame, or that poiitb cal record so r&markable for states manship and. ability, but, w.e have ventured these suggestions th a t I m ? may know-that h e is properly appre- e i a t e d a m o n g h i s ow n . p e o p l e a n d . t h e The unfortunate man has since died. * t B i E x m w s . H ext year will occur the great de cennial census o f the United States, iade by the general government.— Persona will be appointed in ev%ry locality in the States and townships to gather statistics o f the inhabi tants and’ of all the agricultural production?, manufactures, &e. Raeh cultivator will be asked for a concise, accurate statement o f land occupied b y him, the number-of acres, and the amount of crops raised during the year ending June 30th, next. Those who were called on before will doubtless remem ber the difficulty in making up an accurate report of the various crops. As the reports w ill he called for in June, it will be necessary to give in the crops gathered in this fall, and the' suggestion that we would now make is , that the cultivators write doTTO,’ -w h ile f r e s h in m in d ,.th e n u m b e r of acres o f each kind, the amount per acre, and the gross amount. The milk product also, and the. amount of pork, beef, &c., will be asked for, as well as a ll kinds of fruit.
