The City Marshal is doing a good job in
weeding out the dogs. One bully suffered
niartrydom on the street Tuesday afternoon
at the mouth of a six-shooter. If it can be
demonstrated that these filthy and dangerous
creatures that infest every street and by-way
of the city, are of any use or ornament to
society, thcnil would be well to encourage
the raising of “dorgs;” but while there is no
testimony to rebut the settled opinion of the
community that these animals can be* dispensed
with, the City Marshal's summary manner ol'
dealing with them will be endorsed by all
good citizens.

'Pile President declares it to he the national
humiliation of this country to he compelled to
pay from twenty to thirty millions a year
ocean freights, which should he shared by
American citizens with the people of other na
tions. He favored direct money subsidy as
h ss liable to abuse than indirect, and recom
mend* 1 the passage of the* two bills reported
tr<»m the Special Committee.
Mr. Jirooks of N. Y. remarked that the re
moval of duty on iron would do more than
subsidy to revive American Commerce, and j
the message was tlu n withdrawn.

bill authorizing the President to accept the j

FROM WASHINGTON.
The Message of the President in Re
lation to the Decline of American
Ccminerco.
Washington. March I’d.
The following is the message ot the Presi
dent in relation to the decline of American
Commerce :
In the Executive Message of December
Cfh. 1*00. to Congies*. the importance ot
taking .-trps to revive the d* caving merchant
n.a it e was urged to a special message and
promised at a tuture day during the present
session, recommending more -pvcitieialh
plans to accomplish this r. suit. Now that
the C ommittee of the Il«»u*e of Bepi cseiita
tive- that was entrusted ithtliis labor of a*cer -
taining the cause ot the decline ot American
Commerce has completed it- work and -ui -
milted its ri port to the legislative branch ot
the g »vernment. I deem this a fitting time I
to exe ute that promise.
Th\ very able, calm and exhaustive report
ot the committee points out the grave wrong*
w hich produced the decline in our commerce.
It i* a national humiliation that we are now
compelled to pay from 20 to iiO million.* ot 1
dollar* annually, e.\elu*ive of passage money
w hich w e should share to other nation*, to '
foreigners for doing work which should be;
done by American owned and American i
manned vessel*. 1 his is a direct draw upon
resources of the country of just so much
money, and equal to casting it into the sen. :
>o far a* the nation i* concerned. A nation
of the ever-increasing interior resources ot '
the United Mates, extending as it does from j
one to the other of the great oceans of the ,
world, with the industrious, intelligent and
energetic population, must one day possess a
full share of the commerce ot these oceans,
no matter at what cost: delay will only in
crease the cost and enhance the difficulty of
attaining that result. I therefore put in an
earnest plea for early action in this matter
in a way to secure the increase of American
Commerce. The advanced period of the
year, and the fact that no contract for ship
building will probably be entered into until
tile question is setthd by Congress; and the
further fact that if there should be much de
lay. all large vessels contracted for this year
will fail of completion before winter set* in,
and will therefore be carried over another
year, induces me to request your early consid
eration of the subject.
1 regard it-of such grave importance, affect
ing every interest of the country to so great
an extent, that any method which will gain
this end will secure the national blessing
of building ships and navigating them, and
utilizing the vast capital at home.
This business employs thousands of work
nun in constructing and manning; it creates
a home market for produce of the farm and
shop: it diminishes the balance of title
against up, precisely to the extent ot tmghts
and passage mom y paid to American vessels,
and gives no superiority upon the seas * t in
estimable value in case ot* toreign war.
Our navy at the commencement ot the late
war consisted ot’ less than 100 vessel**, of
about 1.*>0,0<H) tons, and a force of about
KOUO men. We drew from the merchant and
l marine which had cost the government noth
ing but which had been a source of national
wi ilth, six hundred veweds, exceeding 1.000,
UU0 tons, and about 70,0(H) men to aid in the
i suppression of the rebellion. This state
; ment demonstrates the value « f the merchant
j marine of a means of national defence in*
time of war.
The committee on the cause of the rcduc
! tion of A me r Mian tonnage, after investigating
1 the cause of its decline, submit two bills,
which if adopted we believe will restore to
> the nation its maritime report. Their re
port shows with great minuteness the actual
and comparative American tonnage at the
time of its greatest prosperity, and the actual
and comparative decline since, together with
the causes and exhibits of the statistics of
material interest in reference to tin* subject.
As the report is before Congress, I will not i
i reeapitualate any statistics, but refer only to ,
' the methods recommended by the committee j
| to give hack to us our lost commerce. As aj
! general rule it can he adopted. I believe j
I that a direct money subsidy is less liable to j
' abuse than indirect aid given to the same en
terprise. In this case, however, my opinion
is that subsidies while they may be given to j
| specific lines of steamers or other vessels. |
1 should not be exclusively adopted, hut in ad- j
dition to subsidizing very desirable lines of
ocean traffic, general assistance should be i
given in an effective way; and I therefore j
commend to your favorable consideration the
two bills proposed by the committee and re
ferred to in this message.
