As the Evening GAZETTE predicted at the time the excitement on the Pacific Coast was at its highest pitch, the "great diamond discovery iu Arizona" is the most gigantic fraud of the age, a sensation of the most unreasonable character.

One of the most meritorious works we have had the pleasure of perusing of late, is "Buffalo Land," by W. E. Webb, of Topeka, Kansas. He treats the subject in a real-romantic style, and while in* structive is also interesting to the reader. The author satirises the modern novelist in a way that the m. n. may well and heartily despise. Each of the five hundred neat pages of the publication as the reader peruses them one by one seems more attractive than the one preceding. The work is from the house of Hanuaford & Co., Cincinnati, and the house sends out none other than meritorious works. Mrs. Dunn, of the Queen City of Ohio, is canvassing the city with the work, with wonderful success.

A reporter of the SanFrancisco Chronicle discovered the following literary surroundings of Miss vura D. Fair on the occasion of a recent call on the distinguished murderess:

Books, manuscripts, diaries, volumes bv distinguished authors, pens, paperfolders, pen-wipes, blotting-pads, dictionaries and piles of cards, notes and other correspondence, scattered about in the mostebarniitig literary confusion. Among the volumes the reporter noticed the works of Voltaire, Baxter's "Saint's Rest," Banyan's "Pilgrim's Progress,'.' "Stobel on Insanity," "The Life of Daniel MoFarland." "Life and Times of Daniel L. Sii-kles," Lyndale's "Fragments of Science," Mrs. JStowe's "Lady Bvron," and Tilton's "Life of Victoria C. Woodhiill." There was also a complete file of the News Letter and a bound volume of the letters 01 Lady Mary Wortly Montague.

From the Evansville Jo :rnal. Golden Wedding.

One of the pleasant incidents of Thanksgiving Day was a family reunion at the resideuceof our distinguished fel-low-citizen, Hon. John Law, it being the fiftieth anniversary of his marriage to Sarah Ewing, daughter of Nathaniel Ewing, ofVincennes, when the nuptials were solemnized on the 28th day of November, 1822. No formal invitations were issued, and the occasion was more a family reunion than a golden wedding. Most of the children of the venerable pair, with a number of their near relations, and a very few of their most intimate friends, were present, and the reunion was an exceedingly pleasant one. We tender our most eordial congratulations to our aged friends, aud hope they may yet live to enjoy many pleasant Thanksgiving and social reunions with children and friends. Judge Law is about seven six years of age.

The Young Enthusiast.

Mr. William Field and Miss Frances Crutch field of Evansville, having concluded to get married, the young ent.hu siast of the Courier was moved to write "The wedding was an exceedingly quiet onf, and none but the intimate friends of family were present. Still, if the happy couple will accept our earnest congratulations, they have them from a pon that ignores "conventional" coni'vli.rmuts, when two hearts as congenial as thoirs, meet in the rugid pathway of life, and in sioodly company, agree to journey on "»d\vn the hill thegither."

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec., 2—To the Senate and House of Representatives.— In transmitting to you my fourth annual message, it is with thankfulness to the Giver of all good, that as a nation we have been blessed for the past year with peacs at home, peace abroad and a general prosperity vouch safed to but few people. With the ex ception of the recent devastating lire whicL swept from the earth with breath, as it were, millions of accumu lated wealth in the city of Boston, there has been no overshadowing calamity within the year, to record It is gratifying to note how their fellow ciiizens of Chicago, under similar circumstances a year earlier, persevered The citizens of Boston .are under misfortune aud the prospect is that th^ir energy and perseverence will overcome all obstacles and show the same prosperity soon that they would had 110 disaster befallen them. Otherwise we have been free from pestilence, war and calamities which often overtake nations, and as far asjhuman judgment can penetrate the future, HO cause seems to exist to threaten our future peace.

When Congress adjourned in June last, question had been raised by Great Britain, and was then pending, which for a time seriously imperriled the settlement by friendly arbitration of the grave differences between this Government and Great Britain. The Geneva conference, however, disposed of the subject iu a manner entirely satisfactorily to this Government, and, according to views, it had maintained the Geneva award in connection with the award of the German Emperor on the San Joaquin question, and leave the two Governments without a shadow upon friendly relations, which, it is my sincere hope, may forever remain unclouded.

The message acknowledges the digni ty, patience, impartiality and great ability of the Arbitrators under the Waslingtoii Treaty. The British Government has expressed its appreciation of the abilty and industry of Mr. Charles Francis Adams, in which the President cordially unites, and it will be the province of Congress to provide for the distribution of the Geneva awards, the Board of Commissioners recommended for the purpose determining the prices of the distribution. The Emperor of Germany has decided the question referred to him of the San Juan boundary, in accordance with the true interpretation of the treaty of 1846, and has the earnest thanks of our Government and people. Mr. Bancroft is highly complimented for his management of this case. This settlement leaves us, for the first time in our history, without a question of disputed territory. Great Britian has complied with the award, and ordered the removal of troops aud cessation of all jurisdiction of the military that jointly occupied San Juan. Allusion is made to the importance of establishing by natural objects and other monuments an actual line between our territory acquired from Russia and the British possessions.

With France, our earliest ally Russia, our constant and steady friend Germany, with whose Government and people we have so many common sympathies, and with the other Powers of Europe, our relations are maintained on the most friendly terms.

The International Statistical Congress, which met this year at St. Petersburg, meets every three years. I submit that it be invited to hold its next meetiug in the United States.

The centennial celebration "of 1876 would afford an appropriate occasion for such meeting.

The Vienna exposition is iv&rlnly referred to, an appropriation was asked to enable the Americans to exhibit there.

The death of President. Juarez is spoken of. Nothing should be left undone to strengthen our friendly relations with Mexico.

The President regrets the continuation the dicturbed condition of Cuba, and that no advance towards pacification has been made, wbile the insurrection has made no progress. The parties have stood in the same position for a long period past, aud. he cannot doubt that the continuance of slavery in Cuba is the strongest inducement to the continuance

of this strife. A terrible wrong is the natural cause of a terrible evil. It greatly to be hoped that the liberal gov eminent of Spain will adopt this view,

Attention is called to the want of pro vision for the relief of distressed citizens abroad, other than seamen. Tt is cus tomar.v with other governments to an thorise Consuls to extend such relief. An appropriation is recommended carry out this suggestion. There are many citizens who through accident or otherwise become penniless abroad, and have friend*. Should an appropriation he granted care will be tak en that it is rightly disbursed. The mess age proceeds to give a summary of the the fi-cal condition of the Government showing a net reduction debt for the fi cal year of $99,960,253 54.

The message recommends that further reduction of taxation be made at present, as a measure of justice to the holders of the nation's certificates of in debtedness, except to correct errors of omission or commission the present laws until sufficient tim has elapsed to prove that, it can be done and still leave enoueh revenue to meet current expenses. The preservation of the public credit is of the highest im portance, and next comf-s the solemn duty to provide National currency fixed and unvarying valoe as compared

The report of the Secretary was sub mitted. It gives full details of that Department.

The Signal Service has been continued and its reports are now exchanged with Canada, and a similar exchange is now contemplated with the West Indies.

The favorable action of Congress was invited to various recommendations The Secretary was discontinuing the ap pointment of an extra Lieutenant the adoption of the penal code for well-de fined offenses, so that the quality of the sentences and judgments of the Courts Martial may be adjusted authority to establish a military post on Texas an appropriation for the publication of catalogue and tables of a medical mu seum for th° sale of such arsenals east of the Mississippi as can be spared.

Applying the proceeds to one large ar senal on the Atlantic coast, and other subjects. The attention of Congress will be called to various .enterprises for a more certain %and cheaper transportation of the sifrplus of western and southern droducts to the Atlantic seaboard. I suggest that immediate steps betaken to gain all the available information to insure equal and just legislation. Iam not prepared to recommend aid to either of the special enterprises now proposed, until it clearly shown that they are not only of National importance, but that thiey will be of value commensurate with tfieir cost. I teould suggest that a com jBbittee be authorized to consider the %hole subject and report to Congress at some future day.

The navy report is fully referred to and also the'report of the Postmaster General with their full statistics.

The President sees no cause to change the views formerly expressed on abolish ing the franking privilege, but, suggests, however, the modification of the privilege to correct its glar ing and costly abuses recommends commission to consider the best method equitable to private corporations who have invested time and capital in tele graph lines for acquiring a title to all lines now in operation, and connecting with postal service. It is not probable that the subject could be disposed of in the present short session, but can be initiated so that future action may be fair to the Government and private parties. The Message earnestly recommends liberal contracts for the carrying of mails by the Pacific Mail Line from San Fraficisco to Japan the Bralil Li"e, and the California,-New Zealand & Australia Line also for Line, under our flag, between Paraguay and Western South America, to secure the trade now diverted to foreign ports.

Attention is called to the alarming falling off of the carrying trade for the last 10 or 12 years. I do not believe the public treasure can be better expended in the interest of the whole peo pie- tbau in trying to recover this trade. An expenditure of $5,000,000 per annum for the next five years, if it would restore our proportion of the carrying trade, would be profitably spent. believe the time has arrived for Congress to take the subject into serious consideration. Alluding to the Department of Justice and increase disbursements, to enforce the rights of citizens to vote and to enforce the Four, teenth Amendment. The President says he cau not question the necessity and salutary effect of those enactments. Reckless and lawless men have associated iu some lodalities to deprive citizens of rights guaranteed by the Constitution, and committed deeds of blood and violence, but the prosecutiou vnd punishment of these persons have greatly repressed these disorders. He nvokes the aid of all good citizens to prevent such unlawful organization, and looks with confidence to the time, not far distant, when all such combinations will be abandoned. Conspiracies disturb the peace of the country. The Iudian policy has been as successful as its most ardent friends anticipated. It has recuced the expense of their management, decreased their forages on the white settlements and tended to promote the extension of great railways.

The President is indisposed to give favorable consideration to applications for pardon from convicted Ku-Klux, but action thereon must not be construed as indicating any charge of determination to enforce the laws with vigor so long as the conspiracies disturb the peace of the country. ry.s 0Sgp

The Indian policy has tended' to promote theextention of great railways, aud the same time improved the condition of the Indians. The policy will be maintained without change, except to make it more effective, "flie subject of converting the Indian territory, south of Kansas, into a home for Indians, under territorial government is of great importance. As a preliminary step will be necessary to confine Indians, now resident, to farms secured to them iu fee. Efforts will be made to remove other

v.

peaceable Indians to the remainder of the Territory. During the last fiscal year public lands were disposed of amounting to 11,804,079 acres, an increase over last year of 1,099,270 acres. The cash receipts of the land offices from all sources amount to ?3,218,100 and 22,016,608 acres have been surveyed during the year, leaving 1,257,633,628 acrcs of public lands still unsurveyed duringthe year ending September 30, 1872.

There were issued from the Patent Office 136,626 patents, 233 extensions and 10,587 applications were received for patents, and 1,100 coveats were filed. F«jos received, S70.095.486 expenditures, $62 355,390. Since 1836, 200,090 applications for patents have befti filed and 133,000 patents issued.

The amount paid for pensions in the last fiscal year was $30,169,340, more by $3,708,434 than the year before. The whole number of enlisted soldiers during the rebellion w&s 2,688,523 the total claims for invalid pensions was 17,600, being but six percent,, of the whole number. The whole number of pensioners on the rolls June 30, 1872, wa« 232 229.

It is estimated that $30,480,000 will be required for the expenses of the next fiscal year. The ninth census being about completed is a subject of congratulation, inasmuch as its early completion is important for the use to be made of the statistics.

The recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior for a census in 1875 is approved. The hill now pending appropriating the net proceeds of public lands for educational purpsses, to aid the States in the general education of "the rising generation, -is a measure of such great importance that I commend it to the favorable attention of Congress.

The affairs iu the territories are generally very satisfactory. The energy and business capacity of the pioneers in settling vast domains aud keepiner pac with internal improvements, and civil Government with old communities, ex cept real or imaginary danger from the Indians.

Utah alone is in an unsatisfactory condition, and it seems her people evade the responsibility to the Government of the United States, and even hold a hostile position to it, and recommends a careful revision of the laws of the Territory aud such legislation as will secure peace and equality to all citizens before the law, and ultimately extinguish polygamy.

The great improvement in the District of Columbia under the new government is referred to. The Government being a large property owner, it should bear with the citizens a just share of the expenses of the improvements.

The report of the Commissioner of Agriculture gives_a careful and interesting account of that Department.

The message refers to the centennial celebration in 1876, and the progress made by the Commission. An earnest desire has been felt to correct abuses which have grown up in the civil service of the country through the defective method of making appointments to office. Heretofore Federal offices have been regarded too much as the reward of political services. Under the authority of Congress, rules have been established to regulate the tenure of office and the mode of appointments. It cannot be expected that any system of rules can be eutirely effective, and prove a perfect remedy for the existing evils, until they have been thoroughly tried by actual practice and amended according to the requirements of the service During my term of office it shall be my earnest effort to so apply the rules as to secure the greatest possible reform in the civil service of the Government, and it will require the direct action of the Cougress to render the enforcement of this system binding upou my successors, and I hope that the experience of the jast year, together with appropriate legisation by Congress may reach satisfactory solution of the question and secure to the public service for all time a practical method of obtaining faithful and efficient officers and employees, [Signed.] U.S.GRANT,

From JVew York.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The remains of Mr. Greeley are still lying at the house of Samuel Sinclair, Forty-fifth street. A large -number of# people besieged the house all day yesterday, expecting the body to be laid in state, but none were admitted save a few iqtimate friends and relatives. The remains of the dead Philosopher reclined in a black, cloth covered casket in the rear parlor, with a tall temple of white flowers at the head, aud flowery testimonials of loving hands were scattered over the pall. The face looked as noble and gentle as in life. The eyes were closed as calmly, and the lines about the mouth were drawn as peacefully as in sleep. The broad .forehead was smooth and placid as in the most pleasant days of his life, and the general contour of his fape, as yet unpinched by the chill hand of death, retained its look of great benevolence aud childish innocence that had become its famous characteristic. The coffin is of solid chestnut wood, covered with black cloth. The trustees of the Tribune have arranged for the funeral to take place on Wednesday at eleven o'clock, from the Church of Divine Paternity, Rev. Mr. ^hapin'H, ou Fifth avenue, corner of Forty-fifth street. No special invitations will be sent out, but it is known that the organizations of various kinds are taking formal steps for attending in a body. The remains will lie in state throughout tomorrow, at such place as shall be announced ia to-morrow morning's papers. Iu all the churches yesterday the clergywithout distinction of denomina-

tion, paid touching and well deserved tributes to Greeley's memory. NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The preparations for the reception of Minister Washburne at the Unioir League Club, on Wednesday evening, is entirely complete. The affair will be the most brilliant ever witnessed in New York, not excepting the reception given to the President, then Gen. Grant, by.tbe same old ciub at its old quarters in Union Square. The President will attend, unless some uuforseen evsnts shall make it impossible. Two or three Cabinet officers will be present. General'Sherman afid staff are expected. Governor Jewell, of Connecticut, with I staff in uniform, will oome, Gov»' "X

PRICE 3 CENTS,

ernor Washburne of Massachusetts, Governor Padleford of Rhod© Island, and Governor Geary of Pennsylvania, are expected to attend. Major-General McDowell and staff. General Schaler and staff, Admiral Porter and staff, ViceAd miral Rowan and staff, Generals Cullom, Wright, Ingalls, Morey, Barnard, Barnes, and several others are expected. William W. Evarts presides. Nearly a thousand invitations were issued to prominent merchants aud business men. Minister Washburne is registered at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

Editorially commenting on the proper course for the Electoral College to pursue under existing circumstances, the Herald says: "Now, as electors, by the Constitution. are left perfectly free to vote for whom they please for President, and as there is no provision for a case like this of Mr. Greeley's decease, the question recurs, for whom are those electors to

vote

who have been

chosen in the name of Greeley, and *"epresenting the electoral v-"»te of the Ft»Les of Maryland, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and Texas? With a proper regarl for the will of the people, they should, Greeley being dead, vote for the next highest candidate in the popular vote for each of these States, and Gen. Grant is this man. 'They cannot vote for a dead man tliev cannot properly vote a blank and, as they cannot change th« result by voting for some new man, they may very materially modify the policy of the President in many things, in electing him for a second term by a unanimous vote of the Electoral College.

The World, on the other hand,says the Democratic Presidential electors were instructed to vote for Brown for Vice President, and they are bound to obey that ininstruction to the letter they were also instructed to vote for Greeley for President, but it would be unseemly to vote for a dead man, and it would be more unseemly to vote for other statesman and degrade this occasion of general sorrow, and the only fit thing for the Democratic Electors to do is to cast blank votes for President.

The Tribune in a long article on the same subject quotes from Greeley's last editorial iu the Tribune, entitled Abiding the Issue," and suggests that the electoral votes of Greeley be cast for Grant, as being in accordance with Greeley's own sentiments.

From Chicago.

CHICAGO Dec. 2.—Patrick Walsh, an engineer on the ChicagoANorthwestern Railroad, yesterday slipped from the part of his engine which he was oiling while it was in motion, near the depot, and fell upon his back between the rails. The engine passed over the prostrate form of Walsh, but without injuring him, until the brake of the tender, which was several inches nearer to the ground than any other portion of the machinery, caught him and rolled him over the ties for almost a block. A boy finally jumpied upon the locomotive and shut off the steam, and Walsh was rescued, but his recovery is doubtful.
