that the Government issue its notes direct

A orel Proposition.
W. F. S hkoeper, the inventor of the
celebrated Baltimore air-ship which did
not make a voyage to Europe last fall,
proposes to use his machine to illu
minate Philadelphia on the night of the
4th of Jul' next, at the very moderate
cost to the city of $750. He will provide
his air-ship with ten first-class silver
plated reflectors, ten feet in diameter,
nhich will le suspended from the car at
a height of 500 feet. Each of these re
flectors will have a brilliant calcium
light, nnd Mr. Schroeder declares that
with this apparatus he can illuminate the
area of four miles, and make it as light
as day. If the project succeeds it will
furnish a better use for aeronautic, ma
chines than their present one of serving
to amuse crowds at circuses and carrying
reckless voyagers to certain death. It
will provide cities with a simpler and
cheaper means of illumination than they
now possess, and abolish forever the fee
ble and flickering gas-lamps that only
serve, in the majority of instances, to
make darkness visible. The inconvenience
which the reform would cause the weary
wayfarer, wending his way way home
ward under the weight f alcoholic stim
ulants, in the absence of lamp-posts,
would be more than compensated for by
the superior light which it would shed
upon his devious path. It would light
obscure and narrow alleys and broad thor
oughfares with equal eu'ulcence, thus de
priving the midnight prow ler of his safest
refuge. If calcium lights were found in
sufficient for the purpose, the Mending
glare of electricity might be employed,
anil night thus be turned into day. Suc
cess to Schroeder. Chicago Timet.
Mr. E. A. Wunseh,n a recent ad
dress before the Geological Society of
Glasgow, referring to the evidence show
ing the immense time required to pro
duce a seam of coal, directed attention to
the conditions which he had examined in
the Isle of Arran. There, to use his own
words, he " found numerous cylinders of
trees, completely flattened, of course, ly
ing across each other at regular angles,
with their bark compressed into less
thickness than common pasteboard, and
the carbonaceous matters re iuced to
graphite, so that from three to four inches
in thieknessof this impure coal contained,
probably, twenty generations of trees over
lying each other. Now, if we allow thir
ty years only for the life of each tree, we
have 600 years for the formation of
four inches of impure coal, or 1,800 years
for the formation of one foot of coal."

President Grant's Message to the
House.
WiSHixoTfitt, Msy 4,
The rreeudent to-day sent the following
message to the House in reply to Represent
ative Blackburn's resolution:
To the Ifouxe of Rrfireseitta'ir: I have given
very attentive consideration to the resolution of
the Hotlse of Representatives, passed on the Sd
of April. " requesting the President of the I'ntted
Stales to inform the House Whether any Kxeen
tive offices, acts, or duties, and, ir any, what, have
w ithin a specified period been performed t a dis
tance from the seat of Government established
by law," etc. I have never hesitated, and shall
not hesitate, to communicate to Congress, and to
either branch thereof, all information which the
Constitution makes it the duty of the Pres
ident to give, or which my judgment may sug
gest to me, or a request lrom either House may
Indicate to me. may be useful in the discharge of
the appropriate duties confided to them. I fail,
however, to find in the Constitution of the United
States the authority given to the House of Repre
sentatives (one branch of Congress in which is
vested the Legislative power of the Government)
to require of the Executive, an independent
branch of the Government, co-ordinate with the
Senate and House of Representatives, anacconnt
of hia discharge of his appropriate and purely
!:.x??ntie ottices, acts and duties, either as to
when, w here or how performed. What the House
of Representafi ves may require, as a rtjrht. in Its
demand upon the Executive for information. Is
limited to w bat is necessary for the proper dis
charge of its pow ers of legislation or of impeach
ment. The inquiry in the resolution of the House as
to w here the Executive acts, with n the last sev
en years, have been performed, and at what dis
tance from any particular spot, or for how long
a period at any one time, etc , does not necessa
rily belong to the province of legislation. It does
not profess 10 be asked for that object If this
information be sought through an inqniry of the
President as to his Executive acts in view or in
aid of the power of impeachment vested in the
House, it is asked in derogation of an inherent
natural right recognized in this country by a con
stitutional guarantee which protects every citi
zenthe President as well as the humblest In the
land lrom being made a witness against him
self. Dnrlncr the tittle that t ho had the honor to
ocenpr the position of President of this Govern
ment., it has been, and! while 1 contifltfe to occu
py that position it will continue to he, mv Cfirft
es endeavor to recognize and to respect the sev
eral trusts and duties and powers of the co-ordinate
b.rnc of the Government, not encroach
ing upon them, nor allowing encroachment upon
the proper powers of the oltlce which ihe people
of the United States have confided to me, hilt
aiming to preserve in their proper relations the
several powers a' d functions of each of the co
ordinate branches of the Government agreeably
to the Constitution, aud in accordance with the
solemn oath which I have taken to. preserve, pro
tert and defend that iiistrt'tnent. In maintenance
of the rights sernred 'by tho Consiitiiiiou to he
Executive branch of the Oovernment. I am com
pelled to decline any specific or detailed answer
to the request of the House for information as to
"any Executive offices, acts ordnties, and. if any,
what have been performed at a distance from the
seat of Government established by law, and for
how lo'ig a period at any one time, and in what
part of ttie United Sates." If. however, the
House of Representafi' es desires to know
whether., during ttie period of upwards of seven
years during which I have held the office of
President of the United S'ates. I have been ab
sent from the seat of Government, and
whether during that period I have performed,
or have neglected to perform, the duties
of mv office, I freely inform the House that from
the time of my entrance upon my office I have
been in the habit, as were all of my predecessors,
with the exception of one who lived only one
month after assuming the duties of his office,
and one w hose continued presence '11 Washing
ton was necessary from the existence at the time
of a powerful rebellion, of absenting myseh" at
times from the seat of Government, and that
during sttch abt-ncrs I did not. neglect or forego
the nbl!gatlins or duties -f my office, bfit con
tinued to discharge all of the Executive
offices, acts and dunes which were required
of me as President at the United States.
I am not aware that a failure occurred
In any one instance of my exercising the ftlnc
tions and powers of my office in every case re
quiring their d scbarge, or of my exercising all
the necessary Executive acts iu whatever part of
the United States I may at the time have been.
Fortunately, rapidity of travel and or mail com
munication, and the facility of almost instanta
neous correspondence with officers at the seat of
Government which the telegraph 11 fiords to the
President, in whatever section of the Union he
may be, enable him in these days to maintain as
Constant and almot as quick intercourse with the
Departments at Washington as msy be main
tained w hile he remains in the Capital.
'I he necej-si'v of the performance of E.xccntive
acts by the President of the United States exists
and fs ('evolved upon htm wherever be may be
WitMnthe United Stntes. during his term of
office, bv the constitution of the United
states. His civil powers are no more lim
ited or capable of limitation ns to the
place where they shall be exercised than
nre those w-1 irh he might he required to discharge
in his tapacitv of Commander-in-Chief of the
aruiv and navy." which latter powers it is evident
be njiht be called upon to exerri-c possibly even
without Ihe limits of the United States. Had ihe
iffo-ts of those recently in rebellion against
the Government been successful in driving a
late President of the United States from Wash
ington, it is manifest that he must have dis
charged his functions, both civil and military,
elsewhere than in the place named by law as the
seat of Government. No act l Congress can
limit, suspend or confine ihis Constitn.ioual duty.
I am not aware of the existence of any act of Con
gress which assumes thus to limit or restrict the
exercise of the mictions of the Executive. Were
there such acts. I snould nevertheless recognize
the superior authority of the Constitution and
should exercise th" pow ers required thereby of Ihe
President. The act to which reference is made in
the resolution ol the House r lates to the establish
ment of a seat ol Government, and the providing
of suitable buildings, aud the removal thereto of
the offices attached to the Government, etc. It
was not understood at its date, and by Gen.
Washington, to confine the President in tb dis
charge ol his dnties and powers to actn. pres
eHee at tntt seat of Government. On tne SOihof
March. U.'Jl, short Iv alter the passage of the act
referred to. Gen. Washington issued An Execu
tive proclamation, having reference to the
snbiect of this very art, from George
town, a place remote from Philadelphia, which
then was the seat of Government, where the
art. referred to directed that '"all officers
attached to the seat of Government should
for the time remain." That none of his suc
cessors have entertained the idea that their
Executive offices could be performed on'.y at the
seal of Government is evidenced by hundreds
uim hundreds of such ai ts performed bv my
predecessors iu an unbroken line from Washing
ton t Lincoln, a memorandum of the general na
ture and character ot some of which acts is sub
mitted herewith, aud no question ha been raised
as to the validity of those a ts or to the right and
propriety of the Executive to ex rcise the powers
of his office in any part of the United states.

Accompanying: the tncssag-e is a memoran
dum of absences of Presidents of the United
States from the National Capital during each
of the several Administrations, and of public
and Executive acts pet formed during tbc
time of such absences. This memorandum
contains the following ieformati in, and much
more f the fame general character, only the
most important of the acts recited in the
memorandum being; selected for mention in
this abstract:
President Washington was frequently absent
from the C apital. He appears to have been thus J
absent at least 1S1 days during his term. In March,
l'i'.U. the seat of Government being then at Phtla- 1
delphia. he issued a proclamation datco al Ceorge
tinvn 111 reference to running a honndttry for the
District of Columbia. He signed at Mount Ver
non an official letter to the Emperor of Morocco,
and from the same place issued the commission
of Oliver Wolcott a Comptroller of the Treasury,
aud a proclamation respecting the wk is ky in-ur-reetion
in Pennsylvania, etc., etc.
1're-ident .Jot, u Adams was absent from ti e
Capital during his term of four years on various
occasions :!" davs. He discharged the official
duties and performed the most solemn public
acts at (Jtiincy, Mass.. in the same manner as
when at the seat of Government. Several of
them are recited. President Jellerson was ab
sent from the seat of Government during hm two
terms of office da. s. or more ttian one-fourth
of tu-whole official period. He signed and is
sued fiom Monlieello, among other things, sev-riity-five
commissions.
President Madison was absent M7 days, and
President Monroe was absent TlSdays. indepen
dent of the year lJ4 aud two month of l'i for
which period no data are found. The latter
transacted public business wherever he happened
to be, and sometimes while traveling
President John ininrv Adams w as absent dur

Consuls.
President Jackson wa absent lrom the sent of
Government W-.! days. Among other import;!! t
act perlorim d bv him when away from Wash
ington was his sfgning at B ton the tamous or
der for the removal of deposit- from the State
banks. The memoranda at this point refers to
President Jackson refusal, in l-tl. t furnish
the Senate a copy of a certain paper alleged to
have been read by him to the Cabinet,
and mentions that in Jannary. 1S-V. he
refused to allow a committee of the House
01 Representatives to mnke a eeneril investiga
tion of 1 he Executive Departments without sie
cific charges, on the ground, amongst others, that
the use of official books and records for such pur
poses interferes with the dUcharge of public busi

-1 PLEA FOR TUK BIRDS.
' It seems that it has become fashionable for
ladies to wear dresses trimmed with the bright
leathers of song birds, and that tho people who
minister to this fashion think that the feathers
preserve their tints better when torn from the
quivering body of the living bird. '"J
O lady fair of beauty most rare.
With the smooth queenly brow and n glory of
hair,
W ith delicate rose-bloom on lip and on cheek
' 1 is to o H. on behalf of the birds, I must speak.
Have you no care, no pity 1o spare.
For the dear little timid w ild buds o" the air?
Must their plumage from agonized bodies be
torn.
That their brightness your head or yonr heels
may adorn?
O lady fair suppose that you were
A sweet little delicate bird 0 the air.
h loatlug in sunshine and singing with joy
Then suppose a coarse, brutulized hobblo-de-hoy,
Rough as a bear, had spread out a snare.
And pinioned a poor feathered captive down
there,
ty.iosc fluttering movements and piteous cries
Drew you down 10 the earth from flume sun-lighted
skies.
Caught in the snare! ah. what terror, despair!
As. with hideous laughter and covetous glare,
Yonr horn-handed cajitor, with m erciless clasp,
Crtlshcs close your poor wings in his smothering
grasp.
One weak little cry one appeal of the eve
Though you know 'tis in vain, for you know you
must die;
But. torture of tortures, the w retch w ith a grin
Plucks your beautiful plumage lrom quivering
skin I
'Miscreant, why? if it must die.
Oh. kill it quickly !'' Hear his j-eply :
""Tis for fine ladles I pluck this 'ere gull;
If 1 wring its neck fust, its blamed feathers co
dull."
Now, lady fair noir. will you dare
Tempt such ruffians to torture the birds o' the
air?
Phould not beauty be guardian of beautiful
ttllll"S ?
Oh! once more lie AViAVr angel, and leave them
their wings.

THE CAPTORS OF AJIHCE.
Wfo will go next? The critical indus
try of students has roblied us ot our beau
tiful Pocahontas, and dimmed the bright
fame of Capt. John Smith. And now the
three illustrious " militia men" who cap
tured Maj. John Andre, and frustrated the
treRson of Arnold, are threatened. It is
said they were marauders, who refused
Maj. Andre's gold only beoiuse they ex
pected to get more for taking him than for
letting him go. After a long examination
of this case, 1 hold fast to the immortal
three. I still lxJicve in the honor and
patriotism ot John Paulding, Isaac Van
Wert and David Williams.
The lower half of Wc'tcbenter County,
during most of the Kevolutlonary war,
was a kind of neutral ground, since it was
situated between the British lines and the
American. Neutral ground, in war lime,
generally means that portion of the coun
try which is warred upon and plundered
by Iwith parties. Owing to ils nearness to
Isew York, and to its being the residence
of half a dozen very rich proprietors, this
country was better cultivated, and its hab
itations were larger, more numerous and
better furnished than perhaps any other
part of America, and, consequently, it pre
sented an inviting field for scouting. A
majority of its inhabitants, too, were
Tories, antl the plunder of a Tory's house
aud farm was not likely to be considered
a very heinous offense, unless the Com
mander of the American lines happened
to be a good soldier, as well as a gentle
man. On the other hand, bauds of Tories fre
quently traversed the country, making
reprisals upon Wnig farmers, driving
away their cattle ami spoiling their crops.
The Tory scouters passed by the name of
Cow-Hoys, from their practice of driving
otl the cattle ol Whig farmers to .New
York; while the Whig plunderers were
called Skinners, from their habit of tak
ing everything they found upon their vic
tims, particularly the scarcer urticles of
Ii is attire, even to his boots and shirt.
F-ach party, iti fact, stole what it wanted
most. Th British party v anted meat;
the Americans wanted everything except
meat.
As the war went on the state of things
grew worse, until the farms were gener
ally abandoned, the best families moved
awa-, and the eojle remaining were
much demoralized. The soldiers of the
army did not escape corruption, nor even
officers of considerable rank. When C1.
Burr took command of the lines at White
Plains in January, 177!), he found a scout
ing party of 150 men, under the command
of a Colonel, just setting out for New
Kochelle, "lo watch," as they said, ' the
enemy's movements." The new Com
mander, unwilling to begin his term of
service by issuing a disagreeable order,
let the party go, but enjoined upon the
officers to resect proierty of friend and
foe. .Next morning, to the wonder and
disgust of Burr, the troops returned load
ed with plunder, and, an hour after, the
farmers began to come in, protesting that
they were good Whigs, ami begging the
restoration of their property.
Col. Burr was one of the most vigilant
of officers, and he succeeded in putting a
stop to this system ; tint, in doing so, he
made such exertions, by night and day,
that his health, in' paired by former hard
service, completely broke down, a.id he
was obliged to resign his commission,
and he remained an invalid for eighteen
months. After he left the post the coun
try again liecame a scene of plunder and
desolation, and such was its cornet ion
when Maj. Andre was too pass over it in
17S0.
At that time the American headquarters
were fit the village of North Castle, six
miles north of White Plains and thirty
thiee miles north of the City of New
York Col. Jameson in command. For
four flays there had been lounging about
the camp a tall, alert countryman, aged
twenty-one, who had been much con
cerned in scouting during the war.
Twice he had been taken prisoner and
confined in New "tork, and twice escaped
to resume his scouting. He had been
bak from New York only four days, and
he still wore a regimental coat which he
had picked up in the city This vtas
John Paulding, a native of the county,
whose father's farm had licen laid waste
early in the war, and he was thus deprived
of regular emp'oyment. Neither at this
time, nor at any former period, had he
been a regular soldier, nor even a militia
man. He belonged to no regiment or
corps of any description. An act of the
Legislature, however, made it lawful for
any man 01 liody of men to s ize anil pos
sess cattle going to the enemy.
Isaac Van Wert, another countryman, a
native of I lie county, was also iuling
about headquarters, and to him John
Paulding proposed, that they should go
on a scouting expedition. Van Wert
consent ing, they started toward Tarry
town, joined on the way by David Will
iams. Van Wert's cousin, of the same oc
cupation, and about the same age as
themselves. Williams had served under
Montgomerv in Canada, antl, strange to
sa", lie nail assisted at ine capiuie m
St. Johns, where Andre and his regi
me nt were taken prisoners. Neither of
the men at the time belonged to the serv
ice, but all of them had occasionally
joined in the predatory warfare ju.st de
scrilied; nor need we suppose that, in
their scouting expeditions, they had al
ways kept within the strict letter of the
law. Ou this occasion they were certain
ly mere adventurers. They were three
young men out of employment, trying
to pu k up something lrom tne enemy,
which they could turn to account. On
their way toward the Hudson Kiver they
were joined, it seems, ry tour oilier scout
ers, making a party of seven armed with
musket.-.
That niht they slept in a barn near by,
and, about half-past seven the next morn
ing, took jxist near the road that still runs
along the Hudson Kiver, at a l int about
half a mile from Tarrytown. The three
friends kept watch by the load, while
their four comrades watched from the
summit of a hill, lest the American liht
horse should break up the party; for they
were engaged in a business which was, at
least, not fixrially authorized. The
three friends, to pass their time, began to
play a game of cards. When they had
keen upon the grttind little more than an
hour alxmt half-past eight in the morn
ing, one of them, looking up from his
CHrds, saw approaching a man well
mounted, enveloped in an old cloak, but
otherwise well dressed and well appointed.
There was something incongruous in his
appearance. He had a military air and
some military equipments, without being
in the un'form of either army.
" There comes a trader going to New
Y'ork," said one of the card-players.
" Tltere comes a gentleman like looking
man," said another, speaking to Pauld
ing, who was decidedly Hie lender of tho
party, and the only one of them who
could read. "He appears to be well
dressed, and has lioots on. You had bet
ter step out and stop him, if you don't
know him."
As Andre had quickened his pace, In?
was soon up with them, and all three pre
sented themselves in the road with their
weapon. He reined up his horse, and
said :
" My lads, I hope you belong to our
partv!"
" Which parly do -ou mean?" asked
one of the scouters.
" The lower party," was his reply.
' We are of the lower party," said one
of the men.
"Thank God!" exclaimed Andre, "I
am once more among friends," and, as he
said these words, he glanced at the royal
uniform coat which Paulding won;.
"lam glad to see you," continued
Andre. " 1 am a British officer out in the
country on particular business, and I hope
you won't detain me a minute."
By way of proving the truth of his
words, he tKk out his gold w atch, an ar
ticle then seldom jxissessed by American
officers.
Y'on are our prisoner," said Paulding.
" We arc Americans, and you must dis
mount." Upon hearing this he laughed, and as
sumed an air ot unconcern.
"My (Jod!" he said, still allccting to
laugh, "1 must do anything to get
along."
As he said these words he produced the
pass which (Jen. Arnold had given him.
Paulding looked at it, but rcmemlieriiig
the frankness ol Andre's first avowal, ex
claimed :
" Confound Arnold's pa-is!"
Paulding always said, afterward, lliat if
Andre had shown Arnold's pass first, ho
should have let him go. They now look
him aside to an immense tree, nearly nine
feet in diameter, long a landmark in that
region, and under its shadow they began
to search him."
"My lads," said he, "you will get
yourselves into trouble."
Garment by garment, Ii is clothing was
taken oil", but nothing was found, till one
of his lxots had been drawn oil", when it
was evident that something was concealed
at the sole of the foot, inside the silk
stocking.
Here it is," cried Paulding.
The stockings were instantly removed,
and several folded half sheets of paper
were found in each.
Then it was that Andre offered to pay
them a sum of money (variously stated
from a hundred to a thousand guineas) if
they would conduct him safely Hie Har
lem Kiver. Paulding sw ore he would not
release him for 10. 000 guinea, and they
conveyed him to (Yd. Jameson, at Noitu
Castle, whence they had started the day
befoic.
This is the substance of the fatory as re
lated by the three men, as believed by Gen.
Washington, and bv the army and coun
try at the time. We are asked to reject it
on the authority of two oflicers who heard
Maj. Andre's version of the story; which
was, that the three men were robbers, who
took from him his money anil his two
watches, and would gladly have conduct
ed him to New Y'ork, if he could have
secured to them the payment of the prom
ised sum without their entering British
lines. I cannot reckon this testimony us
of much value; for, in the first place, it
is second-hand testimony; and, in the next
place, Andre was laboring at the time un
der the most intense excitement. lie
was a sensitive, nervous man, "great
drops of sweat," as an eye-witness re
cords, rolled from his face on that fatal
morning.
Against the impressions of Maj. Andr,
we have, first, the dclilicrate judgment of
Gen. Washington, after a most attentive
consideration of the case; secondly, the
verdict of Congress in rewarding the men
with medals and pensions of $200 each :
thirdly, the high character borne by the
three men during the rest of their lives.
Paulding died in 181S, aged fifty-nine;
Williams in 131, aged seven tv '-eight ; Van
Wert in aged eighty, i;fl highly re
spected in their native county, and were
followed to the grave by a onco.irse of
their fellow citizens, and their remains
honored by a public monument.
Many of their descendants and connec
tions are still liviiigin Westchester Coun
