From Washington. WAsNu-rON, D. C. Nov. 26.- The rough draft of the President's An. nual Message, though it is not quite fGui-hed, was road to the Cabinet to day, all the members being present. It will be somewhat, perhaps one fifth longer than last years mes sage. In response to a question aiked by the writer of this dispatch, the Pres. ident remarked that he bad no ob-jeo tions to saying that the Message would not show a change of policy on his part ; as his endeavor was now, as it had been in the past, to perform his entire duty to the extent of his abili ty, and in such a maniner as would best serve the interests of the country. le was not certain that le would re commend to Congress an extension of amno3ty to the 200 or 300 persons excluded by recent Lngislation ; but if lie stiould, it would be with a pro posed condition that the bene6ciaries merely take an oath, to support the Constitution of the United States. Congress, however, had ample au thority in the premises, and could act with regard to the matter without at repitition of his views upon the sub joet contained in his former annual MCs.age. Ile saw no more neceFsity, as had bec anserted, for making a declara tion of a more friendly policy towards the South than for such a declaration toward the North, as le sought as Presidelnt, under the obligation of his oath, to execute the duties of his po-ition without favor or paitiality and in aceo dance with, law. Hie woul, in his incesage, endors.e such recoIn tdat ions of logislation as iny be presented by fie heads of the Iever:al departments and which expe rienace had showr to be neces-ary ; ati lae would recommend to Uongress that action be takena wit.h regard to the award made by the Geneva arbi trators.

Slamps on Accepted Sight Drafis. The Journal of Commerce gives some information of local interest, I. says: "A commission mereltant in this city writes us that some of the city bauks insi-t that where a sight draft is mado upon him, and le ac cepts it, making it payable at a bank, a two cent stamap is required to cover the latter corp~orationa, as they thaiak such an accep.tanace converts the draft into a bank eeck. ie wihes to know if thaere is any method to sat is fy these binks that such a stamap is not neceded. We answer that we have already published Boutwell's own official dracision on this point, made many years ago, when he was Comn missioner of Internal lievenue. It is on page 347 of his oficeial acts. lie there decides that if a promise is made payable at a bank, and a chaeck is givena for it., that check must be stamped ; but, if the paper thus pay. able at a bankh is simply paid and chai god to the payer's account with. out a cheek being used, 'then a stamp is rnot required.'

Ex-Auditor Wickliffe, who stol $90,000 from the Treasury of fLouiE tana, has boon hiding for some time i Sumniet field, near Selmna, Ala., unde the nanme of Doctor J. Polk Shelby The so-called Doctor had a preciou record : In 1868, 1869 and 1870 h was Auditor of the State of I.ouisian nd for corruption and rascality ii office was impeached and expollet froin the position. Ile was raised t( oflicial position by the Radical party Whilo in office he made the most cor rupt use of the position, and robbe< the tax-payers, through fraudulen tueans, of thousands upon thousand of dollars. In the Sprirg o 1870 he went to Mr. Strass, a broker of New Orleans with Louis. ian Treasury warrants, apparentl3 all ight, aggregating one hundred and thirty thousand dollars, upon which Mr. Strauss advanced hin $71,000 in greenbacks, and also a certified bank cheek for $19,000. Shortly after getting his tnoney, Mr. Wickliffe shook the dust of New Or. leans from his feet, and left for parts unknown. I a short while after wards, the warrants, were present ed for payment, and Mr. Strauss made the rather uncomfortable (for him) discovery that his warrants were bogus, and that he had been swinidled by this ecoundret to the tune of $90,000. A short timo since,, a Mr. Biumniel, of New Orleans, was in I Selmna, and recognized the doctor. Steps were immediately taken for his arrest, but the great Radical leader was too sharp for them and made his escape on a floet horse. The London Timnes' Advice to Canada. 'I'liTe Canidi;ais are invited to do. zhlure- the'Ir indopendence, in plainer word., than it has used hitherto, by the L.idon Time.s, which says to them in a recen*' .,ricle : "From this time foith 1.ook after your own busi nas you selves ; you ai c big enough, 3ou are strong enough, you are intelli gent 3 mtngh, and if there were any delicioncy in any .f th-.so points, it woul be supplied by the education of self-reliance. We are both now in a faule position, and the titoe hus arrived when we should be relieved from it. Take up your freeomi ; your days of apprenticeship are over." At. length it is proved that a man has more vanity than a woman. This i, the way that it camc to pass : A curious investigator watched while a thousati I men passed a looking-glass used as a sgn on the sidewalk in Broadway. The result of his obser vation showed that nine hundred and ninety-nine men glanced complacent ly at their image as they passed. The other man was !:ind.

A State Ruled by Women. 0 Among the Holland possessions . thero is a remarkablo littlo State a which, in its constitution and the r original customs of its inhabitants, O surpasses the boldest dreams of pa pr a American ladies. Upon the Island of Ij 3 Java, between the cities of Batavia I.o I and Samarang, lies the little King. Co I dom of Bantam. Although tributary - I to Holland, it is an independent State, B politically without importance, yet W happy, rich, and since time immiemo p rial governed and defended by women. fer The Soverign is indeed a man, but all Pa the rest of the government belongs to Pt the fair sex. The King is entirely ' dependent upon his State Council, 0 composed of three women. The high. 111 est authorities, all State oflicers, court Yo1 functionaries, military commwanders - and soldiers are without excep. 18 tion, of the female sex. Tihe men are agriculturalists and mor chants. The body guard of the King Thq is forined of the female elite. These amazois ride in the masculine style, $ wearing sharp steel points instead of spurs. They carry a pointed lance, which they swing very gracefully, and I also a musket, which is discharged at - full galop. The throne is inheritable A by the oldest son, and in case the King dies without issue a hundred elected amazons assemble, in order to choose a successor from among their own sons. The chosen one is the pro. claimed lawful King. The capital city of this little State lies in one of coT the most picturesque parts of the resi i6land, in a fruitful plain, and is do- all < fended by two well kept fortresses. A - .. .
