I.?lividon ly tho President understood that 1 would have tlio support of tlio Uepubl can Senators for the passage of tho Fci cral Elections bill, which accounts fi the strong ground taken in tho messa) for tlio immcdiato enactment ol tin measure. Tho message liad only hee read heforu the Senate when tho Ilepul ]ican managers arranged for a caucus I discuss means to carry out tho sugge tionsot tlio President on tho subject i ? national election law. Tho result i that caucus establishes tho fact that a effort will ho made to havo the pendin hill passed, if not before tho holidayi Ht least immediately after. Tho caucus discussed two featurcE Tho immediate changing of tho rules, t bo followed at oucii by the passage of th bill, and tlio advisability of endeavorin to pass tho hill, and then, if ft failure ri suited, to ctiaugo tho rules aa a matter c necessity. The latter plan was tho 011 favored by the conservatives, anil th ono finally adopted, in ore were only lew Republican Senators who appeare to havo any objection to the lattc scheme, and an such it became the sens of the caucus. In fihort, the Republica Senators will give the public to undei stand that a change of rules first become necessary before any such attempt wil be made. The federal election bill, wit! this understanding, cornea up in th Senate to-morrow morning. The ilgb will thuB begin over again just where i stopped when Senator Quay made an ai rangement with the Democratic Sens tors. The Democrats will use ever; ellort to defeat the bill, and then maki the effort to defeat any change of rule lhat maybe proposed later on. The; -say thej' can do this. With J.he Republicans practicall, mnited in Ike Senate, and with the lev -erage furniflhotl by the Administration the Democrats havo now a much harde contest on hand thau the one of lae summer. It now looks possible to pae the Elections bill, and the liepubhca: managers behind it are very delei mined. house caucus.

Tho national-banking 8 system supplied this defect to some q extent by the authority which the .. banks have to increase their circulation m01 in times of stringency, and to reduce crefl when money becomes redundant; but, ven: by reason of the high price of bonds, bain this authority has ceased to be of much The e practical value. cate y The demand for money, in this noun- ' try, is so irregular that an amount of circolatica, which will be ample during N j ten months of t^e y.car, will frequently 0|jtf ,3 prove so deficient during tyje other two ^ 1 months as to cause stringency anH comipejcial disaster. Such stringency may oth< n OQCur without any speculative manipu- don lationao/money, though, unfortunately, Sup [< it is often intensi?ed by such manipula- dele v tions.

New York, Dec. 1.-?The Fosl Bays: 1 Money on call at the stock exchange f was 5 per cent this morning and gradu- j ally advanced to 14 per cent until 12:30 , o'clock, after wliich it was down to 5 1 again by o'clock. There was nothing to indicate that there was auything artificial about this wide range. The fact is that there was unusual demand for money to-day in connection with the 1 heavy settlements on the first of the i month in all lines of business. But the t settlement of taxes|in Brooklyn alone re- i quired several millions for use in the 1 next few days. All of the leading stock i houses had foreseen the probable de- i maud for money about this time and had borrowed ahead. It is, in fact, the balances of brokerage houses instead of thOBO of the" banks which have sup- ] I plied the call loan market on sttock ex- chaugo in the last week.

Equality ot representation and the parity ot the olectora mu6t bo maintained,or everything that is valuable in our system ot government is lost. To the Senate aitil Home of Iltprucntativa: The reports of tho several executive departments which will bo laid before Congress in the usual course will exhibit in detail tho operations of tho Government for the last llscal year. Only the more important incidents and results, aud chielly such as may be the foundation of tho recommendations I shall submit, will bo referred to in this annual message. The vast and increasing business of the Government has been transacted by the several departments during the year with faithfulness, energy and succees. The revenues, amounting to above four hundred aud lifty million dollars, have been collected and disbursed without revealing, so far aB I can ascertain, a single case of defalcation or cmbezzloment. An earnest effort has been made to Btimulate aseneo of responsibility and public duty in all oflicers and employes of every grade, and the work done by them has almost wholly escaped unfavorable criticism. I speak of these matters with freedom because the credit of the good work is not mine, but is shared by the heads of the several denartments with the great body of faithful oflicere and employes who serve under them, rhc closest scrutiny of Congress is illrited to all methods of administration md to every item of expenditure. VOREIGU RELATIONS. The friendly relations of our country with the nations of Europe and the East have been undisturbed, while the ties of good will and -common interest that bind us to the states of the Western Hemisphere hayebeen notably strengthened by the conference held in this capital to consider measures for the general welfare. Pursuant to the invitation authorized by Congress the representatives of every independent Btate of. the American continent and of Hayti met in conference in this capital iu October, 1SS1), and continued in session until the 19th of last April. This important convention marks a most interesting epoch in the history of the Western Hemisphere. It is noteworthy that Brazil, invited while under an imperial form of government, shared as a republic in the deliberations and results of the conference. The recommendations of this conference were ill transmitted to Congress at the last 3eesion. The international marine conference, ivhich ent at Washington last winter, reached a very gratifying result. The regulations suggested Lave been brought to the attention of all the governments represented, and their general adoption .8 confidently expeqtcd. The legislation of Congress at the last session is in coniorrnity with the propositions of the jonference, and the proclamation therein provided for will 1)8 issued when the i ither powers have uiven notice of th^ir I idhesion. TIIE DARK CONTINENT. The Conference o$ Itrussels, ta devise means for suppressing th,e slave trad,? in Africa, afforded an opportunity for a new expression of the internet the American people feel in that great work. It soon became evident that the measure proposed would tax the resources of the Congo basin beyond the revenues available under the ceneral act, could not share in its revision, but by a separate act the independent state of the Congo was freed from the restriction upon a customs revenue. The demoralizing and destructive traffic in ardent spirits among the tribes also claimed the earnest attention of the Conference, and the delegates of the United States were foremost iu advocating measures for its repression. An accord was reached, the influence of which will be very helpful apd extend over a wide region. As coon a3 these measures shall receive the sanction of t^ie Netherlands for a time withheld the general acts will be submitted for ratification by the Senate. Meanwhile negotiations have been opened for a now and complete treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation between the United States and the independent State of the Congo. IlEPUULIv) Ot" BRAZIL. Toward the end of the past yearihe only lnuepenuent monarcniai (Jovernmenton the Western Continent, tbatol Brazil, ceased to exist and wits succeeded by a republic, Diplomatic relations were at onco established with the now Government but it was not completely recognised until an opportunity had been afforded to ascertain that it had popular approval and support.

It is confidently believed that the yood relations cj the two countries will be pre ecrveu, anu mat uio luiure win witness an increased Intimacy of intercourse and an expansion of their mutual com* merce. CENTRAL .AMERICA. The peace of Central /, meviua haa again been disturbed through a revolting charge in Salvador, which waa not recognized by other States, and hostilities broke out between Salvador and Qaqtemala, threatening to involve all Oontjai America in conflict, and to undo the progress which had been made toward a union of their interests. The effects of this Government were promptly and zealously exerted to compose their differences, and through the active eQojtfl o? the representative of the "United States a provisional treaty of peace was signed August 20, whereby the right of the liepublic of Salvador to choose to own rulera wan recognized.

This letter was produced to tho captain of tho Acapulco by tho military commander ut Sau Joeo na his warrant to take tho pasaonger from tho steamer. General lturrundia resisted capture and wns killed.

NICARAGUA CANAL. The Nicaragua canal project, under the management of our citizens, is making most encouraging progress, all the nrimnrv nnmllMnna , -J ~ liilWUl upuiw tions having been accomplished-within tho preecribed time. During tho past year negotiations have been renewed for the settlement of tho claims of Americau citizeus against the government of Chili, principally grow- j ing out of the late war with Peru. The reports from our Minister at Santiago warrant tho expectation of an early and satisfactory adjustment. OUR FRIENDS TlIK CELESTIALS. Our relations with China which have for several years occupied so important ft place in our diplomatic history, have called for careful consideration and have been the subject of much correspondence. Tho communications of tho Chinese Minister have brought into view the whole subject ol our conventional relations with his country, and at the same tiilie this Government through its legation at Peking has Bought to arrange various matters and complaints touching the interests aud protection of our citizens in China. In pursuance of the concurrent resolution of October 1, 1S90, I have proposed to the Governments of Mexico and Great Britain to consider a conventional regulation of the passage of Chinese laborers across our Southern and Northern frontiers. OUR IIOC. IN FRANCE. Our relations with the French Republic continue to bo cordial. Our repre-1 sentative at that court has very diligently urged the removal of the restrictions imposed upon our meat products, and it is believed that substantial progress has been made towards a just settlement. SAMOA GETTING INTO SIIAl'E. The Samoan treaty, signed last year in Berlin by tho representatives of the United States, Germany and Great Britain, after due ratification and exchanges, has begun to produce solutary effects. The formation of the government agreed upon will Boon rcpiaco tne disoider of the post by a stable administration alike juBt to the natives and equitable to the three powers nioet concerned in trade and intercourse with the Samoan Islands. The Chief Justice has been chosen by the King of Sweden and Norway, on the invitation of the three powers, and will booh be installed. The land commission and municipal council are in process oi organization. A rational and evenly distributed echemo of taxation, both municipal and upon imports, is in operation. Malietoa is respected as King. john' dull and the 8lh?l??ry seal. i The new treaty of extradition with Great Britain, after due ratification, was. proclaimed on the 25th of last March. Its beneficial working is already appa ent. Tho difference between the two governments, touching tho fur seal question ii\ the B.ehring sea, is not yet adjusted, as will be seen by tho correspondence which will soon bo laid before Congress. Tho offer to submit the question to arbitration, as proposed by her Majesty's government, has not been accepted, for the reason that the form of submission proposed is not thought to be calculated to assure a conclusion satisfactory to either party. It is 6incerely hoped that before tho opening of the sealing season some arrangement may be affected which will assure to the United States a property right, derived from ItuBsia, which wiia not umregarueu uy any nation lor more than eighty years preceding the outbreak ol tlio existing trouble, A SUP IN T1IE TAim-'i- ACT. In the tarifl act a wrong was done to the kingdom o? Hawaii which lam bound lo presume was wholly unintentional. Duties wero levied on certain commodities which aro included in the reciprocity treaty now existing batween the United States and the kingdoniof Hawaii without indicating tho uece-Bsnry exception in iavor ot that kingdom. I hope Congress will repair wlwt might otherwise seem to be n breach oi iaith on the part of this government. KXTKAD1TION TREATY WITH ITALX.

You will be asked to provide tho means of accepting the invitation a! tHo Itulinn Government to take part in Rn approaching conlcronte to consider tho1 option of as universal prime meridian from wh'\ch to reckon longitude and time. Ab this proposal foliowh in tho track of tho reform sought by the Meridiau conierence of Washington, held on th? invitation of thin Government the United States should manifest a friendly interest in tho Ilnlian proposal. In this connection I may rc-teirwith approval to tho suggestion r,f my predecessors, that standing provision be made for acceptingj whenever deemed advisable, tho frequent invitations of foreiftii Governments to share in conference looking to the advancement of international reforms in regard ta Eclenco, sanitation, commercial lawn and procedure, and other mattes affecting the Intercourse r,nd progress oi modern communities. nEI.ATI0.N8 WITH JAPAN.

The story of the play ia ono of the brighter threads running through the sombre woof of the civil war. There is a dash and spirit to it that hold3 tho interest from beginning to end. There are climaxes that buret forth in a spirit of patriotism and true devotion, awakening the deepest admiration in the auditor, whose heart responda to the inspiring call of noble sentiments.
