RTGH ; S OF CITIZENSHIP.
Continued opposition to the full and
-ce enjoyment of the rights of citizeu
!dp, conferred upon tlie colored people
y the recent amendments to the consti
uiion, still prevails in tfie several of th
tate slave-holding states. It has, per
haps, not been manifested in the lat
lection, to any large extent, in acts o.‘
violence or in imidation. It has, howev
c . by fraudulent practices in connection
With the ballots, with the regulations as
me places to and manner of voting, uito
wiUi counting, returning and canvassing
the votes cast, been successful in defeat
’•S the exercise of the 1 ighfc preservative
of all rights, the right of suffrage, which
the constitution expressly confer* upon
our enfranchised citizens.
It is the desire f ihe good people of
1 lie whole country that sectionalism as u
uotor in our politics should disappear.
They prefer that no section of the coun
try should h>- uniied In solid oppoaitlon
*0 any oihct -e< : ifui. 'The disposition to
refuse a prmnpr and hearty obedience t
die equal rights utncndrnonts the con
-iitutioji, i- all that now stands i: the
way or a coinpiere ohliieration of sec
tional jincs in our political contests. As’
tong a- etfßci ot iiiese afnctuitnent* laiia
gramly violated or (listegarfc*.d, it is safe
• o a.-.-timo ih.-it ih ■ people who pLu-e l *
th*-m in tin* constiimion, as embodying
ihe legitim .tc res ul is of the war for the
union, and who believe them to be wise
and necessary, will contrive to act togeth
er , and to insist that they -hail be obeyed.
The paramount question still is as to
the enjoyment of the right by every
American citizen who has :he requisite
qualifications, to fn-cly past ids vote and
to have ii hone.-ny counted. With Lhis
question rightly sc Hied, the country will
be relieved ol rju; contention.- of 1 lie past;
by-gones will indeed be by-go lies; and
political and party i-siieS with respect to
(‘coiiomy mid ellioieiury of adininisrrHfion.

11*11 >!ihiv ALiafetwil udi; but. resistance t*'
and iiuHificauon of the war, will unite
together in resolute purpose for their
support all who maintain the authority
of the. government and perpetuity of the
union, and who adequately appreciate
the value of the wonderful victory
achieved. The determination proceeds
from no hostile .sentiment or feeling to
any part of the people of our country, or
to any of their interest. The inviolubil
ty to the amendments rests upon the
iuudauiental principles of our govern
ment. They are the solemn expression
of the will of the people of the United
States.
The sentiment of all that the constitu
tional rightsof our citizens must be main
tained, does not grow weaker. It will
continue to control the government of
the country. Happily, the history of
the late election shows that iu many
parts ol the country where opposition to
the fifteen ih amendment has heretofore
prevailed, it is diminishing and likely to
cease altogether it firm and well consid
ered action is taken by congress. I trust
the house of representatives and the sen
ate, which have the right to judge of
the election returns, and qualifications of
their own members will see that every
case of violation of the letter or spirit of
the fifteenth amendment is thoroughly
investigated, mid that no benefit tiom
such violation shall accrue to any person
or party. It will be the duty of the ex
ecu live, with sufficient appropriations for
riie purpose, ro prosecute unsparing all
who have been engaged in depriving cit
izens ol the rights guaranteed them by
the constitution.
Jt is noi, however, to be forgotten, that
the best Hjtd surest guareritee of the pri
mmy right.- m citizenship U to be found
in *hat iup.it i;y for self-protection which
can belong ( uiy to a people whose right

I that tht* suiiject of popular education de

I of the whole country, with a view to the
wise and comprehensive action by the
government of the. United. States, i re
spectfully recommend that congress, by
suitable legislation and with proper safe
guards, supplement the local educational
funds in rhe several states where the
grave <1 tries and responsibilities ot citi
zenship hr.** been Revolved on educated
people, by devoting tuu.e purpose I; rants
of die public lands, and, il ucce-Rsary, by
•ippropriarions from riie treasury of the
United Stales. Whatever the gov*.rrn
ineut can fairly do to promote free p p-
ul-r education ought 10 be done.—
Wherever g uersd cdueaiion is found,
>eaee, r iiiut* and .social order prevail and
•ivil and religious liberty are secure.
Mr. Hayes claims that much has been
accomplished in the matter of civil ser
vice reform, and gives an idea of hi
olan as follows:
Competit've examinations, in aid of
impartial appoiutuienLs a .and promotion
have been conducted for some years past;
in several of the executive Uepartrneirs,
mil bv my direction this system has been
1 opted in the custom houses and po>t
oitlees of the larger cities of the couutry.
In the city of New York over two thou
sand positions in ih civil service have
been subject, in their apijoiatments and
■•enure of pUise, to the operation of pub
lished rules for this purpose, during the
last, two years. The result* of these
practical trials have been very satisfac
tory and have confirmed my opinion in
favor of this system of wdcotion. All are
subjected to the same tests, and the re
sult Ls free from prejudice by personal fa
vor or partisan influence. It secures for
the position appherl for the best qualifica
tions attainable among the competing ap
plicants.
I also recommend ?ueh legislation as
while leaving every officer as free as any
other citizen to express his political opin
ionsandto use his mean.) for their ad
vnucement, shall also enable him to feel
as safe as unv private citizen in refusing
all demands ujm>u his salary for political
purjioscs. A law which should thus
•■r.iaiv..,r*e true liberty and justice to all
who are en*r. u ,„ ♦, n '.-no ifuiitiC ’wfv.t-,
and likewise contain sr.riugnD. provisions

ercc the politic 4 l action ut* j*rivare cili
/a'us or ot olli'dai 'Ubordii'U’t 4, i- gi*ea> ly
< bt* desired.
POLYGAMY.
It h (he recoguucd duty iid purpose
of tii ,a pcopie of the Unite 1 Stares to sup
jMtfss polygamy where it now exists iu
our.tej fitories. and to prevent its exten
sion. Faithful and zealous ciForts have
been made by the United States authori
ties in Utah, to enforce the laws against
it. Experience has shown that the leg
islation upon this subject to he effective,
require extensive modification and
amendment. The longer action is de
layed the more difficult it will he to ae
eo'i.<piir-h what is desired. Prompt and
decided measures is ocoes.-jry.
I tecommend that Uougress provide *o?
the government of Utah by a governor
and judges, or commissioners, appointed
by the president and confirmed by Lite
Senate — a government analogous to the
provisional government established tor
the territory northwest of the Ohio, by
the ordinance of 1757. If, however, it is
deemed best to continue the existing form
of local government, I recommend that
ihe right to vote, hold olfi e and sit on
juries in the territory ol Utah be con
fined to those who neither practice, nor
uphold polygamy. If thorough m - 1—
lu es are adopted, il is be.icved that with
in a few years the evils which now xltlwt
Utah will be eradicated, and that this ter
ritory will in good time become one f
the most prosperous and attractive of . ue
new states of the union.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Our relations with all foreign coun
tries have been those of umlistm
peace, and have presented no occasion
for concern as to their continued main
tenance.
The President devotes much space to
the explanation of poiuts of miim in
terest to the interior sections of the
country.
COMMKRCK.
The efforts of the department of state
to enlarge the trade and commerce of
the United States, through the active
agency of consular officers and through
the dKsemin&tion ot information obtained
from them have been uurelaxed. The
interest in these efforts, as developed in
our commercial communities, and the
value of the information secured by tin
means to the trade and manufacturers of
the country, were reeognizeti by con
gress at its last session, and provision
Was miuU for the more frequent publica
tion of consular and other reports by the
department, of state. Tue ftrst issue of

FINANCES.
The condition ot the lluanei.al affairs of
the government, as hown by the report
of the secretary of the treasury, is very
satisfactory. It is lieUeveu that the pres
ent Uuancial situation ot .he Uuired
Brate-, whether consideied with reapon
to trade, currency, credit, growing
wealth, or the extent an • var eiy of otr
resources, is more favorable than that of
any other country of our time, and hi
uevorbeen surpa-.-ed by that of any conn
try at any period of its history. All 011
industries are thriving: the rate of in
terest is low; new railroads are being
constructed; a vast immigration is in
creasing our population, capital and la
bor, new enterprise? in great number are
in progress, and our commercial rela
tions with other countries .'•e improving.
The amount due the siukiug fund for
this s'ear was $37,931,643.55. There was
applied thereto the sum of $73,904,617 71,
being $35,972,373.86 in excess of the ac
luul requirements for the year.
The aggregate of the revenues from all
sources during the fiscal year ended Juio*
30, 1880, $333,526,610.98. an increase
over the preceded year of $59,699,436.52.
The receipts thus far of the current yea?,
together with the etfimtiwd receipts for
the remainder of the year, amount to
S4O,CK*>,OOO which will be sufleient to
meet the estimated expenditure* of the
year, and leave a surplus of $90,000,000.
THE SILVER DOLLAR.
The coinage of silver dollars, under the
act referred to, began ill March, lb7S,at.d
habcen continued a* required by th*
act. The average rate per tnnriih to th
present time has been 2,270,492. Th
total amount coined prior to the itr*r o;
November last was $71,847,730. Of this
amount $47,094,450 remain in the treas
ury, and only $25,743,291 are in the hands
of the {M‘Ople. A cOiifftMiit effort has been
made, to keen this currency in circulation,
a,id considerable expense has been neces
sarily incurred for thi* purpose, but it.*,
return to the treasury is pr< mptaud sure.
ot
tion, the value of the sliver dollar, con
taining 412>£ grains of silver, has untln
creased- Dim i * this year prior to the
passage of i he bill authoririog its coinage,
the marker value of the silver which ir
contained was from ninety to ninety-two
cents as compared with the standard gold
dollar. During the last year the average
market value of the stive* dollar has bee.i
eighty-eight and a half cents.
it is obvious that the legislation of the
List congress in regard lo diver so far as
it was tn-je ! oil an anticipated rise in the '
value of silver as a result <t tint legistiou,
has failed to produce the effect then pre
dicted. The longer the law remains in
f tree, requiring as it does the coinage of
a nominal dollar, which, in reality, i
not a dollar, the greater becomes the
danger that thi? country will be forced to
accept a single metal us the >ole 'legal
standard value, in circulation and this a
stand trd of less value th m it purports to
be worth in the recognized money of the
world.
WAR DEPARTMENT.
The secretary of war reports that the
expenditures of the war department for
the tiseai year ended June 30, 1880, were
$39,931,773.02. The appropriations for
this department, tor the current liscal
year, amount to $41,099,030.40.
With respect to the army, the secreta
ry invites attention to the lact that it#
strength is limited by s’atute (section
1116, revised statutes,) to uoie more than
30,000 enlisted men, but that provisos
contained in appropriation bill have lim
ited expenditures to the enlistmeut oi
but 25,000. It is believed the full legal
strength is the least possible force at
which the present organisation can be
maintained haring in view efficiency,
discipline, and economy. W hile the en
listment of this force would add some
what to the appropriation for pay of the
army, the saving made in other respects
would be more than equivalent for this
additional outlay, and the, efficiency of
the army would be largely increased.
PROVIDING POR OR ANT.
1 commend to the attention of Congress
the great service of the Commander-In*
Chief of our armies during the war fer
the union, whose wise, firm and patriotic
conduct did so touch to bring that mo
mentous conflict to h close. The legisla
tion of the United States contains many
precedents tor recognition ot distin*
guiehed military merit, authorizing rank
and emoluments to be conferred tor emi
nent service to the country. An act of
Congress authorizing the appointment of
a Captain-general of the unny, with ami
able provisions routing to -compensation,
rfititnoieut aul other detail*, wouil in
my Jadgmeut, be altogether fitting eul
proper arid would in my judgment, be
%itogerher fitting and proper tujj, waul)
bo warmly approved* by the country.

THE JUMCIART.
The necessity for additional provisions,
to aid In the transaction of tin* business
of the federal wurts; oecomc- h year
more apparent. The docket >f the su
preme court and of the circuit court*, in
the greater number of the circuits, are
incumbered with the con'tant accession
of esse*. In the fo:oiir co rf, and in
many instances in the circuit courts,
’ vear.* intervene before it. is practicable to
bring cases to a hearing.
The attorney general recommends the
establishment of an intermediate court of
“irons and appeals. It is recommended
hat the nuni er of judges of the circuit
court in each circuit, with the exception
of the second circuit, should be increased
by the addition of another judge; in the
second circuit, that two should be added;
and that an Intermediate appellate courts
diould be formed in each circuit, to con-
sist of the circuit ju Ige* and the circuit
justice, and char th event *>t the absence
f either of these judges, the place of the
<heent judge should be supplied by the
judge of one of the district courts in the
circuit. Such an appellate court could
be safely invested with l irge. jurisdiction,
ud its decisions would satisfy suitors in
many cases where appeals would still be
allowed to the supreme court.
rURLIC LANDS.
A large increase is reported in the dis
posal of public lands for settlement dur
ing the past year, which marks the pros
perous growth of our agricultural indus
try, and a vigorous movement of popula
tion to our unoccupied lauds. As this
movement proceed.*, the codification of
