It ia an elaborate and well prepared document, and treat* of the various important mb. jects at present agi'ating the oountiy at largo. Mr. Hayo* opens hia moe*?go by alluding to tho "pacification of tho oonntrj." Ho alludes to the fact that thero were different opinioas as to how this paoification might be brought about, and oongratulatea himself that "hia plan" has proved to be the wisest. Mr. Ilaye* baa closely examined into tho financial problem, nod la of the opinion that tho policy of resumption should bo pursued to the end. lie notes the faot that onr oountry is in poaoeful relation with the world, and iooke with muoh aolioitude upon a probable con tinuanoe of tho border tronblos on tho Bio Grando.

There arc hundreds of criminals con fined in tho county jails throughout, the State, who are f-d, clothed, attended by physicians, furnished medicine, Ac , at tho expense of tho people.

AI.I.KN MoCARKHX, JOHN RURDRM,, ISAAC ENGLISH. OCR WAHHINGTO* LETTER. Waimiwotok, Oeeember 0, 1&77. At th? opening of the extra *<?**'on of Congress the Republican* had a majority of At? In the Senate: Mm ton's death and Vorhecs' appointment reduced it to three. Including Sharon, the "llonnntn Kin?." "*l?e excitement during the tast few day* has been inten*e, and In* possible loan of a working majority ha* given *eriou* aiarm I* the Republican*. Kvery inch of ground wilt b? sharply contested, and the struggle will f.* a hitter one. At tbla writing tlie Renate has h*eu in continuous *? ssion for utrnr twertty-eeven hours. and there la little chance of adjournment for as many more. IVterson and Conover are not reposing on beds ef roses.

Whether tin* struggle aball shift tbe politi cal supremacy on to Denioeroiio shoulders or uot, ntatfea little diffi rvnee, as it ia cer tain to b?j accomplished in the u*ar future, ouch chituges scent iucideut to every popu lar government. The political pendulum vibrates lo and fro, and it ia hardly poa a.ble for auy party to maintain tbe aaccnd aucy tor au indefinite pciiod. The wreck of tba (.'? S. Steamer Huron, with a loss of one hundred Uvea, is au evi dence of the value of signal servicc lo our commercial marine. This atcamt r was or dered to sea by Admiral Treiicbard in il.e very f?ce of the danger signals at Norfolk and Gape Halt eras. i'bo uiter disregard of all these signals cost tbe Navy a hundred brave fellows, nnd a thorough and severe investigation of the mailer is demanded by the public. The Pacific Railroads are seeking an ad justment with tbe government by suircn dering twelve million acrcs of land granted them us subsidies. Were this possible, it would open to se't cineut, by the advancing army of immigrants, some of the most val uable lands of our national domain. Many embarrassments will arise from liens ?I rea<ly created by Und grant boads aud government uiortgu?v.J. The flood, so wide spread in its work of devastation, has done great damage here A portion of the famous Long llridge, so well known by every soldier, and which was built in lfcv>8, huccuiubed to tho angry waves yesterday. The U. S. Emigration Reports show that Texas is receiving a vast addition lo hei population by large colouie* of thrifty G- r | in.ins, an I Irom present indications the j Teutonic clement will soou be in the nia | j- rlty.
