Congress.
REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
The report of the Attorney General con
tains several suggestions as to the adminis
tration of Justice, to \vf ‘
vhleli I invite your at-
_ ire of business in the
Supreme Court and in certain Circuit Courts
of the United States is now such that serious
delays, to the great Injury and even oppres
sion of suitors, occur, and a remedy should
be sought for this condition of ufialrs.
Whether it will bo found in the plan briefiy
sketched In the report, of increasing the
number of Judges ot the Circuit Courts, and
by means of this addition to the judicial
force, of creating an intermediate Court of
t ure consideration.
THE INDIANS,
The present condition of the Indian tribes
on the territory of the United .States, und our
relations with them are fully set forth in the
reports of the Secretary of the Interior and
the Commissioner of Indian Afi'airs. After a
series of most deplorable ebnfilcts, the suc
cessful termination of which, while reflect
ing honor upon the brave soldiers who ac
complished it, cannot lessen our regret at
their occurrence, we are now at peace with
all the Indian tribes within our borders. T
preserve that peace by a just and humane
policy will be the object of my earnest en
deavors. Whatever may be said of their
character and savage propensities, of the dlf-
lficultles of int roducing among them the hab
its of civilized life, and of the obstacles they
have offered to the progress of settlement
and enterprise in certain parts of the coun
try, the Didians are certainly entitled to our
sympathy, and to a conscientious respect on
our part for their claims upon our sense ol
Justice. They were the aboriginal oceu-
f >unts of the land we now possess; they
lave been driven from place to place; the
purchase money paid to them, in some
cases, for what they called their own, has
still left them poor, in many instances
when they had settled down upon land as
signed to them by compact, and begun to
support themselves by their own
labor, they were rudely jostled off
aud thrust Into the wilderness again.
Many If not most of our Indian wars have
had their origlu In broken promises und acta
of injustice upon our part, and the advance
of the Indians in clviil/.aMon has been slow
because the treatment they received did not
permit it to be luster und more general, We
cannot expect them to improve and to fol
low our guidance unless we keep faith with
them in respecting the rights they possess,
and unless, instead of depriving them ol
their opportunities, we lend them a hclpiny
hand. 1 cordlully approve the policy re
garding the management of Indian affairs
outlined In the reports of the .Secretary ol
the Interior und of the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs. The faithful performance of
our promises is the first condition of a good
understanding with the Indians. 1 cannot
too urgently recommend to Congress that
prompt and liberal provision be made for
the conscientous fulfillment of ull engage
ments entered into by the Government with
the Indian tribes, To withhold the means
necessary for the performance of a promise
Is always fulse economy, and Is apt to prove
disastrous in its consequences. Especial
care Is recommended to provide for Indians
settled on their reservations cattle and
agricultural implements to aid them in
whatever elforts they make to support
themselves, and by flic establishment and
maintenance of schools to bring t hem under
the control of civilized Influences. 1 see no
reason why Indians who cun give satisfac
tory proof of having by their own labor
supported their own families for a number
of years, and who are willing to detach
themselves from their tribal relations,
should not be admitted to the benefit of the
homestead act and the privileges of citizen
ship, and I recommend the passage of a law
to that effect. It will bean act of Justice
as well as a measure of encouragement.
Earnest efforts are being made to purify the
Indian service so that every dollar aupopri-
ated by Congress shall redound to fhe benefit
of the Indians us intended. These efforts
will have my firm support. With an im
proved service, and every possible encour
agement held out to the Indians to better
their condition and to elevate themselves in
tile scale of civilization, we may hope to
accomplish at the same time a good work
for them and for ourselves.
THE TINMF.R LANDS.
I invite the attention of Congress to the
Importance of the statement and suggest
ions made by tlie Secretary of the Interior,
concerning the depredations committed
upon the timber lands of t he United States
and the necessity for the preservation of the
forests. It is believed that the measures
taken In pursuance of the existing law to
arrest these depredations, will be entirely
successful, If Congress by an appropriation
for that purpose, renders their continued
enforcement possible. The experience of
other nations touches us that a country can
not be stripped of its forests with Impunity,
and we shall expose ourselves to the gravest
consequences unless the wasteful und im-
? rovldent manner In which the forests in
be United Htales are destroyed be effectu
ally checked. I earnestly recommend that
hors. The final report of tlie board was
transmitted to Congress at the last session.
As these papers are understood to contain
Interesting and valuable information, und
constitute the only report emanating from
the Government of the subject of the exhi
bition, I invite attention to the matter aud
recommend that the report be published for
general Information.
THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
Congress is empowered by tlie Constitution
It he the authority of exclusive legislation
rer the District ol Columbia, In which the
seat of Government of the nation is located.
The interests of tlie District having no
direct representative In Congress, are enti
tled to special consideration and care at the
hands of the General Government. Tlio
Capital of the United Htates belongs to the
nation. It is natural that the American
eople should take prhle In the seat of their
utlonal Government and desire It to he
an ornament to the country. Much lias
been done to render It bcuutlftil, convenient
and attractive, but much remains to bedone,
which its permanent inhabitants arc not
able and ought not to be expected to do. To
Impose on them a large proportion of the
cost required for public improvements
which are in a great measure planned ami
executed for the convenience of the Gov
ernment and of the many thousands of vtal-
*'ts from all parts of the country, who tem-
irarlly reside In the capital of the nation,
an evident injustice, .special attention
asked by the Commissioners of tlio l)ls-
trlet. in their report, which Is herewith
transmitted, to tlio Importance of a perma
nent adjustment by Congress of the finan
cial relations bet ween the United Htates and
the District, Involving the regular annuul
•ontributlon by the United Htates of Its
proportion of the expenses of the
ct government and of the outlay forall
needed public improvements, and such
measures of relief from the burden of taxa
tion now resting on the people of the Dis
trict, as, in the wisdom ol Congress, may be
deemed Just. The report of the Commis
sioners show the afi'airs of the District ure
in a condition ns ■satisfactory ns could be ex
pected, in view of tlio heavy debt resting
upon It and its very limited means for nec
essary expenditures. The debt of the Dis
trict Is as follows: Old funded debt, 88,870,-
691 96; 8-65 bonds, guaranted by the United
Htates, $13,718,850; total bonded debt, 822,122,-
941 96, to which should be added certain out
standing claims explained In the report of
the Commissioners, $1,182,204 52; making the
total debt of the District $28,310,166 48. The
Commissioners also ask. attention to the im
portance of the Improvement of the Poto
mac river and the condition of the marshes
bordering the city of Washington, and their
views upon this subject are concurred in by
the members of the Rout'd of Health, whose
report Is also herewith transmitted. Doth
the commercial and sanitary interests of the
District will be greatly enhanced, I doubt
not, by this improvement.
Your attention is invited to the suggestion
of the Commisloners and of the Hoard of
Health for the organization of a Hoard of
Charities, to have supervision and control
of the disbursement of all moneys for char
itable purposes from the District Treasury.
I desire, also, to ask your especial attention
to the need of adding to the efficiency of the
public schools of the District by supple
mental aid from the National Treasury.
This Is especially Just, since so large a num
ber of those attending the schools are the
children of employes of the Government.
I earnestly commend to your eare the inter
ests of the people of the District, to whose
enterprise and good order the attractiveness
of the capital are largely due, and 1 ask your
attention to the request of the Commission
ers for legislation In behalf of the Inter
ests intrusted to their care. The appropria
tions asked for the cure of the reservations
ingfl and Grounds arc also commended to
your favorable consideration.
The report of the Joint commission created
by the act approveed August 22, 1876, enti
tled “An Act providing for the comple
tion of the Washington monument," Is
herewith transmitted, with accompar ’
documents. The board of engineer of
detailed to examine the monument, in
)1 lance with the second section of the act,
reported that the foundation is Insul-
' igex
llity
the Interior for l
Tension of depreda
tions on the public timEer lands of the Uni
ted States, for tlie selling of timber from the
public lands and for the preservation of the
forests be embodied In a law, and that, con
sidering the urgent necessity of enabling
the people of certain States ami Territories
to purchase lumber from the public lands in
a legal manner, which at present they can
not do, such law should be passed without
unavoidable delay. I would also call the
attention of Congress to the statements
made by the Secretary of the Interior, con
eernlng the dta
of the desert la
100th meridian. These bincts are practically
unsaleable under the existing laws, and the
question is worthy of considerate action. A
system of leasehold tenure would make
H 1 ® 1 * 1 a of profit to the United Htates,
while at the same time legalizing the husi-
ness of cattle raising which is at present
carried on upon them.

of the country will mainly respond to such
prompt provision as muy be made for its

PUBLIC EDUCATION.
The wisdom of legislation upon the part of
hools of the country „
tlon. The intelligent, judgment of the
country goes still further, regarding it as
also both constitutional and expedient for
the General Government to extend to tech
nical and higher education such aid as is
deemed essential to the general welfare and
to our prominence among the enlightened
und cultured nations of the world. The ul
timate settlement of all questions of the
future, whether of administration, or fi
nance, or true nationality of sentiment,
depend upon the virtue and Intelligence of
the people. It Is vain hope for the continu
ance of free government without means of
Insuring the Intelligence of those who are
the source of power. No less than ouc-
soventh the entire voting population of our
country are yet unable to read or write. It
Is encouraging to observe in connection
with the growth of fraternal feeling in those
Htates in which slavery formerly existed,
evidence of increasing Interest in universal
education, and 1 shall be glad to give my
approval to . any appropriate measures
which may bo enacted by Congress for the
purpose of supplementing with national aid
the local systems of education in these
Htutcs, and all the Htates. Having already
invited your attention to the needs of the
District of Columbia with respect to its
iiiblic school system, I here add that I
elleve it desirable, uot so much with refer
ence to the local wants of the District., but
to tho great and lasting benefit of the entire
country, that this system should be crowned
with a university, in all respects in keeping
with the national capital, and thereby real
ize the cherished hope of Washington on
this subject.
1 also earnestly commend the request of
the regents of the Smithsonian Institute,
that an adequate appropriation be made
for the establishment and conduct of a
national museum under their supervision.
AN OPEN LETTER
TO THE PUBLIC.
New York, October 1st, 1877.
I have devoted twenty years of pa
tient study to the Liveramfitsrelations

edy which would restore it, when dis
eased, to its normal condition. The
result of that labor lias been the pro
duction of

Their popularity has become so extend

unscrupulous parties to counterfeit
them, thereby pouring me of tho re
ward, and the alHicted of their virtues.
TO CAUTION THE PUBLIC,
and protect them for vilo impositions, I
have adopted a new label, which bears
my trade-mark and notice of its entry
in tlio Office of the Librarian of Con
gress, also my signature, thus :

Before purchasing, examine tlie label

THE GENUINE TUTT’S PILLS
exert ajpeeuliar influence on tho sys
tem. Their action is prompt ami their
good effects are felt in a fow hours. A
quarter of a century of study of tlie
Liver lias demonstrated that It exerts
a greater influence over tlie system
than any other organ of tlie body, and
when disoased the entire organism is
deranged. It is specially for tlie heal
ing of tliis vital organ that 1 have spent
so many years of toil, and having found
tlie remedy, which lias proved tlie
greatest lioon ever furnished the afflict
