is admitted on examination, that require*
meats of law have not been complied
with In some cases, even said certificates
have bren matters of purcnacc.
These are not Mated cases
arising at rare intervals, but of common
• cc urrence, and which are reported from
al! quarters of the globe. Such occurren
ce* cannot and do not fail to rt fleet upon
the government and injure all honest
citizens. Such a fraud living discovered,
however, there is no practical means
within the control of the government by
which the tecord of naturalization can
l» 3 vacated, and should the certificate he
1 U-.-n up at it usually is by "the diplo
matic and consular representatives of the
government to whom U may have been

|K-raon claiming to bare been naturalized
rom obtaining anew certificate from the
court in place of that which bas been ta
ken from him. Tte evil bas become so
great and of such frequent occasion that
1 cannot too earnestly recommend that
effective measures be adopted io provide
- proper remedy end means for the vaca
ting of any record thus made, and of
|.uni*hing guilty parties. In this con
nection 1 refer alto to the question of ex
patriation and the election of nationali
ty. The United States, was foremost la
upholding the right of expitriation and
wan principally instrumental io over
thrown* the doctrine of perpetual alle
giance. Congress baa declared the right
<•( expatriation to be a natural and in
herent right of all people. ISut while
many other notions have enacted laws
providing what formalities shall be nec
essary to work a change of allegiance,
the 1 nited Stales has euacted no provis
ions of law,and baa in no respect marked
out how or when expatriation may be
accomplished by its citixcns. Instances
are brought to the attention of the gov
ernment where citixcns of the United
Slates, either naturalized or native-born,
have formally become citixcns or sub
jcclt of foreign powers, but who never
theless, in the absence of any provisions
of legislation on this question, when in
volved in difficulties, or when it seems
t» be to their interest, claim to be citi
zen* of the United Slates, and demand
the intervention of a government which
tliey have long since abandoned, and to
which for yeaia they have rendered no
service, nor held themselves in any way
accountably. In other casei naturalized
«iti/.en«,immediately after naturalization,
have returned to their native country,and
have become engaged in bu*ine»H, ac
cepted oiliccs or presents, Inconsistent
with American citizenship, and evidence
no intent to return to the United Stales
until called upon to discharge some duty
to Hie country wheic they are residing,
when at once they assert their
ciii/<rn»hip, and call upon the represen-
ilivea of the government to uid them in
their unjust presentious. ll is but jus
tice to nil bona tide citizens that no
do.#bt should exist ou such questions,and
that congress should determine by en
actment of 1 i\v now expatriation may be
accomplished.
I also invite your attention to the uc-
viasity of regulating bylaw tho status of
American women who may marry for
eigners, an I of defining more fully that
•t children Inirn in a fereign country of
VmrricAii parents, who may reside
ihroud, and also of some fill liter provis
ion regulating or giving legal effect to
marriages of American citizens contract
rd in foreign countries. The correspond
two submitted herewi li shows a few
of the constantly occurring questions on
then* points, presented to the considera
tion of the government. There arc few
-objects to engage the attention of con
gress on which more delicate ro'ations
or more important intered? ate depend

of ilie whole people coming within the
purview of the treamry.
i jikan sriicuc resumption.
Too much hires* can tot be laid
upon Hus question, and I hope
congress may be induced at tho
carl»r«t day procticable to insure tic con-
Mimmation of the act of last congress at
its last m-fslon to bring about specie re
sumption on and after the first day of
January, 1879, at furthercsL * ' A
taxes to be gained by direct line* of

can Hates, will far outweigh the expense
of the aerviee.
By an act of congress approved March
3, 1875, almost ail matter, whether prop
erly mail trailer or not, may be sent any
distance through the msils in packages
not exceeding four pounds in weight for
the sum of 16 cents per pound. So far
as the transmission of real mail matter
goes this would seem entirely proper,
but I suggest that the law be ao amended
as to exclude from mails merchandise
of all descriptions and limit this trans
portation to the articles enumerated, and
which may be classed as mail matter
proper.
THE BLACK HILLS TROUBLES.
The discovery of gold in
Black Hills, a portion of the Sioux
reservation, bas bad the effect to Induce
a large immigration of miners to lh»l
point. Thus far the efforts to protect
the treaty rights of the Indians to that
section havc.Leen successful,{hot the new
year will certainly witness a large in
crease of such immigration. The negota-
lions for the relinquishment of the gold
fields having failed, it will hi necessary
for congress to adopt some measures to
relieve tho embarrassments growing out
of the causes named. The secretary of
the interior suggests tbat the supplier
now appropriated for the sustenance of
enue frox exports, and we, b e tlargest
consumers, reduce the duties while they
proportionately increase them. With
tnis addition to the revenue, many duties
now collected, and which give but an in
significant return for tbe cost of collect-
tion, might be rem tted, and to the
direct advanla.e of consumers at borne.
I would mentiou those articles which
eater into manufacture* of all
sorts. All duty paid upon such
articles go dirt-ctly to the cost
of the article. theu manufactured-
here, and must be paid for by tbe con-
eumers. The duties not only come from
tbe consumers at home, but act as a pro

THE SCANDAL OF rOLTGAMV.
In nearly every annual message that I
have bad the honor of transmitting to
congress, I have called attention to the
anomalous not ta say scandalous condi
tion of affairs existing in the territory of
Utah, and have asked for definite legisla
tion to correct it. That polygamy should
exist in a free, enlightened and Christian
country, without the power to punish so
flagrant a crime against decency and
morality, seems preposterous. True
there is' now law to sustain this unnatu
ral vice, but what is needed is a law to
punbh it as a crime, and at the same
time to fix tbe status of tbe innocent
children, tbe offspring of this system,
and of the possibly innocent plnral
wives. But as an institution, polygamy
should be banished from the land.
While this is being done I invite atten
tion of congress to another though per
haps no less an evil, the importation of
Chinese women, but few of whom are
brought to our shores to pursue honor
able or useful occupations.
NEEDED BENEFICIAL ENACTMENT?.
Observations while visiting ihs terir
tories of Wyoming, U tab and Colorado,
during the past autumn, convinced me
that existing laws regulating the disposi
tion of public lands. Umber, and proba
bly tbe mining laws themselves, are very
defective and should be carefully amend
ed, and at an early day. In territory
where cultivation of the soil can only be
followed by irrigaUon, and where irri
gation is not pracUcable tbe lands can
only be used as pasturage, and this only
where stock can reach water to oueneb
its thirst, cannot be governed by the
same laws as to entries o n lands every
acre of which is an .independent estate
by itself. Land must be held in larger
3 uanUi:es to jusUfy the expense of con-
uciing water upon it to make it fruitful
or to justify utilizing as pasturage. Tbe
timber in most territories is principally
confined to tbe mountain regions, which
are held for entry in small quantities
only as mineral lands. The timber is tbe
property of the United States, for dispo
sal of which there is now no adequate
law. The settler must become a con
sumer of this timber whether he lives
upon the place or engages in working the
mines. Hence every man becomes a
trespasser himself or knowingly* patron
of trespassers. My opportunities for
observation were not sufficient to justify
me in xccommeniing specific legislation
on Uiesc subjects, but I do recommend
that a joint committee of the two bouses
of congress, sufllcienUy large to be divi
ded into sub-committees, be organized to
visit all the mining states and territories
during tbe coming summer, and that the
committee shall repoit to congress atjthe
next session such laws, or umendme-nts
to law?, as it may deem necessary to se
cure the best interests of the government
and the people of these territories who
are doing so much for their develop
ment I am sure the citizens occupying
the terxitorv described do not wish to be
trespassers, nor 'w ill .they be, if legal
ways are provided for them to become
owners or the actual necessities of tbeir
position.
As this w ill be tbe last annual message
which I shall have the honor of traus
mittingjo congress before »uy successor
is chosen, I will repeat or recapitu.ate
the questions which 1 deem of vital im
portance, which may be legislated upon
nl settled at this session.
1. That the states shall be required to
afford the opportunity of a good com
mon school education to every child
illiin their limits.
2. No sectarian tenets shall ever be
taught in any school supported in whole
or iu part by the state, nation, or by tbe
proceeds of any tax levied upon any
community; make education compulsory
; far as to deprive all persons
ho cannot read ami write from
becoming voters after the year 1890;
disfranchising none, however, oa the
ground of illiteracy, who ma> be voters
at the time this amendment take* effect.
3 Demare church ami state forever
separate'and distinct, hut each free with
in their proper spheres, and that all
church property shall bear its own pro
portion of taxation.
4. Drive out licensed immorality, such
i polygamy and the importation of
women for illegitimate purposes.
5. Enact such laws as will insure
_ speedy return to sound currency, such
as will command the respect of the
world.
To recur again to the centennial
year it would seem a3 though now as wc
arc about to begin the second century ol
our national existence would be a most
fit time for these reforms.
Believing these views will commend
themselves to a great majority of tbe
right thinking and patriotic citizens of
the United ^States, I submit tbe rest to
congress U- S Grant.

by the railroad company we-o of-
ferred for Fctner, who rau away, but who
stands indicted for mnrdet. He has been to

HE WAS AHUETTSD
upon the train, when between Nor-
cross and Duluth, by Baggag'

pointed out by conductor Vickers. Fc*-ner
was disarmed, bound with a rope and taken
into the baggage car, and in ♦hi?
condition carried out of Georgia, through
a portion of Souili Carolina, Into North
Carolina. Hewa9put into jail at Char
