It is expected that aa si ol peaovlwill lit inaugurated. and then making a spectacle of him on a national anniversary is, it strikes us, a peculiarly Boston notion. Massachusetts being always just, what compensation does she propose to make to these two young men, neither of whom are as yet twenty-five years old, and who, if they live another century, can never be entirely free from the brutalizing effects of those four years of hard labor In a jail 7 If the State takes it upon herself punish guilt, she should also assume the responsibility of righting wrong done in her name and by her officers, and reward the innocent, whom her mistake has made suffer Ignominy and loss of years, manhood and character but, setting them free, to make a Boston holiday, is scarcely the way to do it IXTEROCEAXIC CASALS. The Suez Canal is a fact accomplished;) an Empress and several royal personages have passed through it Lesbeps is Immortal. Commerce seeks a new channel.

A little dredging may be necessary; but this is not an age when a little shifting sand will long baffle the powers of art and the greed for wealth. And the 8uez Canal has marve-lously stimulated tbe American mind to reconsider the feasibility of a channel which shall unite the Atlantic and Pacific at or near the Isthmus of Panama. Approximate data we already have from former Burveys in various localities, by which we may form an estimate of the labor and expense of such a project A few interesting questions arise which, however, remain to be answered by the expedition which, it seems probable, the President will recommend Congress to send down without delay. The first has reference to a direct communication across the canal. If a canal with a succession of lifts on either side to the summit be projected the question of first importance is whether a sufficient quantity of water could be obtained to supply the summit level; where and how? If this can be done the feat is a very easy one, and there should be no delay, and no deviation from the most direct line.

If this is difficult, former surveys show that, by a somewhat round-about way, lakes and rivers may be nsed as a part of the route. The project is by no means a new one. Two Flemish engineers, under the orders of Philip II, made a survey between the rivers Chagres and Grande, as early as 1528, and, within a recent period, others have been made by a party nnder Mr. Tkautwise and by one under Lieutenants Craves and Michi.se. The project is eminently feasible, and needed only the slight appeal to our pride which the Suez Canal has just made.

The laborers are not wanting; good wages will take them down by thousands, and if the climate is too much for them, the natives will be glad to do the work. Some persons have suggested the possibility of cutting a single ditch from ocean to ocean and carrying the water-level through. This, taking the ridge at its lowest point, would involve an expense so enormous that no prospective returns would compensate for the outlay; and far more appalling than that it is now asserted that, were this done, it would divert a current which now flows upward to form the Gulf stream, change the whole character ot the North Atlantic, fearfully reduce the temperature of the countries now warmed by that magnificent submerged river, and make them, now so blooming and fruitful, dreary, actic and barren forever. Such is the suggestion of a recent scientific writer. As it is new to us, we give it to our readers, feeling sure, however, that insurmountable obstacles will prevent iU ever being practically tested.

Our internal taxation would prove a protection to the British "producer almost equal to the protection which our manufacturers receive from tbe tariff." With reference to China the President heartily approves the more liberal International policy inaugurated by Mr. Bdklik-oamb, and recommends such legislation "as will forever preclude the enslavement of the Chinese upon our soil -under "the name of coolies, and also prevent "American vessels from engaging in the transportation of coolies to any country tolerating the system, and that the mission to China be raised to one of the first class." The Indian question is discussed at kngth. the aborigines are designated as the wards of the nation, and the feasibility of treating them with kindness and generosity is maintained at length. It The Tenure of Office act ia on favorably criticised, and its repeal earnestly requested. After calling attention to the reports of the heads of the various departments, the message concludes with the recommendation that the salaries of the Judges of the United States Supreme Court should be increased.

There are many other minor points of interest discussed in vLis able paper, and it should be perused in its entirety by all who can spare the time to do so. ENLARGEMENT OF THE OlXTT PRISON. The statement by the Grand Jury of the Court of Quarter Sessions, that there is not sufficient space in the County Prison for the proper confinement of persons sent there, does not call attention to any new fact. For years past the Judges of the Court, the officers of the prison, many grand juries and citizens have represented the evils and Inconvenience which resulted from the overcrowding of the prison. The Pennsylvania system provides that convicted criminals shall undergo separate and solitary confinement during the period named by tbe law for their seclusion.

But in this city the increase of the vicious population has exceeded the preparations which have been made to subject them to the sentence of the law. While it is intended that each prisoner shall have a single cell, the large number of con victs exceeding the number of apartments appropriated to them has rendered it necessary for the Inspectors ot the Prison to disregard the directions of the law. Being compelled to receive the convicts sent to them by the Courts, they have been obliged to maintain their custody in the best manner which the circumstances would allow. This has long been known, and it was thought that the inconvenience of the system might be and the pressure upon the prison relieved by the erection of a IIouso of Correction. The latter institution would be expected to draw from the prison the vagrant and vagabond class whose offenses were of a trivial nature and whose worst faults were idleness and intemperance.

But the Grand Jury now say that which will surprise many, that while a House of Correction must be conceded to be a necessity, its establishment will not relieve the County Frison to any great extent The enlargement of the latter building, it is assumed, is a necessity which cannot be longer delayed without great in jury to the public, and this ia a measure which to many will seem unexpected. If we could hope that, in municipal matters, action would be as speedy as thought; if we could expect that, in our city affairs, the fact that a thing was shown to be necessary would Insure it instant attention, we might expect that the recommendation of the Grand Jury of November, wottld be followed by some immediate demonstration. But, with our experience of the tardy action of our authorities in the matter of a House of Correction, what can we expect in relation to aa enlargement of the County Prison? Ever since the consolidation of the city and districts this matter of a House of Correction lias been urged. Various Boards of Commissioners, independent of each other, under new grants of power, have been instituted for the put- pose of budding a House of Correction. They have failed to do anything, and they have been superseded by fresh efforts, which were but feeble, uncertain and vacillating.

If in fifteen years of effort to build a House of Correction, we have not yet got so far as to have secured the necessary ground for the institution, in what length of time will we be able to enlarge the County Prison? PAItnOXIXO ISSOCEWT MEJf. Even Massachusetts justice, it appears, trips sometimes. A way back from the days of the Puritans comes a custom to that ancient Commonwealth of extending pardon to a number of her convicts on the an nual day of Thanksgiving. This present year, however, the custom was honored in the breach instead ot the observance, and in place of two guilty criminals being pardoned, a couple of innocent prisoners were set free by the Governor. Four years ago these two respectable and respectably connected young men were convicted of highway robbery, one being sentenced to twenty and the other to twenty-five years imprisonment at hard labor.

In discharging them, the Warden said to the entire body of convicts assembled in the cor ridor: "Now, after having served four years of their time, the fact had bee established beyond a doubt that they were innocent of the crime charged upon them, and it is but just that they should be given their liberty, "and that no stain should rest upon their character." This is certainly very pretty magnanimity, but it is a little curious that the fact of thoir innocence was not proved until the Thanks giving Day. Or if it was sooner discovered, it seems adding a huge wrong to that of their conviction, to keep them for a single instant after the discovery, and for no other purpose, apparently, than to make a holiday show of them. Taking four years out of a man 8 life, loading him with infamy for a like period, will doubtless receive the early and careful attention of Congress. As a direct step to wards specie payments, the Secretary pertinently recommends that the value of our narer currency should be enhanced. As a sure method of effecting this, he suggests that the Secretary of the Treasury be clothed with authority to contract the greenbacks, at a rate not exceeding two million of dollars per month.

By conferring this power, and withdrawing the 5-20's from foreign bands, Mr. Boctwkll thinks that the country will be brought gradually, but without disaster, into a condition when the resumption of specie payments will be easy, if not unavoidable, i THE MESSAGE. The President, in his message yesterday, apparently laid aside his usual reticence, entering fully and clearly into the consideration of the grave matters of national interest. It is needless to say that to-day it will be the cause of absorbing discussion, both here and abroad, for what the United States are doing or proposing to do, is no longer an affair cf indifference to the Great Powers of Europe, any more than to our own people. The official utterances of the President on these stated occasions are properly considered oracular, as presaging the course of action the existing Government means to pursue.

Especially will the present message excite wide attention from the fact that the Chief Executive, more than any of his predecessors, has constantly maintained a marked silence regarding the policy the Administration was likely to pursue in governmental matters. This sphynx-like silence has now been broken, and it is found that he whom a little while ago we esteemed as a soldier only, is in his new position equally able to cope with the most difficult and perplexing problems of government The message is remarkably clear and vigorous. Even he who runs may read its meanings. With one exception it is direct and to the point in every paragraph, and entirely free from the circumlocutions that give length nnd complexity to too many State papers. Its language is remarkably unaffected, terse and well chosen.

The document opens with a brief review of the general aspect of national affairs, and then passes on to the now nearly settled, but once vexations question, ot Kcconstruc- tion. With regard to Georgia, it is re commended that the Governor convene the members of the Legislature, orginally elected, requiring each member to take the oath prescribed by the Reconstruction acts, and none to be admitted who are ineligible under the third clause of the Fourteenth Amendment The late Virginia election meets his unqualified approval, and he asks that the Senators and Representatives elect be admitted to seats in Congress. The one question, however, the discussion of which by the President will, to-day, excite the most pertinent curiosity, is that of the finances of the nation. This is really a matter of vital interest, and one that appeals to citizens of every degree with almost equal force. To its consideration the President brings the broadest and wisest argument, and in doing so he almost echoes the popu lar sentiment Upon it he is particularly ex plicit, except In a single sentence of three or four lines, in which he speaks of "redeem ing our currency.

The exact meaning of this suggestion is not made clear, we think, and, as it stands, it apparently conflicts with former ones. The message explodes altogether the im probable, long-time rumor that it was the President's intention in the document to recommend the immediate resumption of specie payments. lie has done nothing of tbe kind; but on the contrary, he properly regards such a project as likely to be suicidal and hurtful to every interest of the nation. He considers that no time should be before hand designated for a return to specie payments; that resumption will follow naturally, as one law of trade or finance follows another, further, he thinks cola payments will come of themselves, arising out of the natural sequence of events. To be permanent, they can come in no other way.

Contrary almost to public fears, the Pre sident does not recommend the payment of the national debt at the expense of the present generation and a continuance of the existing enormous rates of taxation. Very wisely he asks Congress to reduce taxation, to relieve the people of the onerous burden that is now paralyzing business everywhere. He again shows how closely he follows the current of public opinion by suggesting the funding of our bonds at 4 or 4 per cent The President ako asks for such legisla tion as will put an end to gambling in gold. With reference to the Cuban question the President disappoints some of our ardent filibusters; but his position will no doubt be Indorsed by Congress and the majority of the nation. After reviewing the revolution he says: "The contest has never assumed a condition which amounts to a war in tbe sense of international law, or which would show the existence of a de facto political organization of the insurgents, sufficient to justify a recognition of belligerency.

The Alabama claims the President cha racterizes as the only grave question which the United States now have with any foreign nation, but entertains a hope that the time will soon arrive when both Great Britain and ourselves can approach the solution of this momentous question with an appreciation of what Is due to the rights, dignity and honor of each. The rapid increase of our manufacturing interests is favorably commented on, and the President indulges in the prophecy that our imports of foreign fabrics will fall off largely within the next few years. The proposition of a new reciprocity treaty with Canada is discouraged, the President arguing very pertinently The advantages of such a treaty would be whulljr favor ot the British producer, except, aenBnaaOT- wAesuiaas. arTMAi tTfiniTTH RV variably In advance.
