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. intcrii.-il iiiiprovoiucMiis, the tiriflf, clomp--' ic taxation, c.duy.ition. lioantHf, sink other iniytd -in*a .’i 1 civ; rhtdr 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 to tint vets . 1 -ufirage is supported by tiui vet’sal education. l'he iuea*.6 at the coin* Diiatjd of ili<* local and state authorities *nrvyJmAi my fuses w *vrty ; furnish free instruction to those who no:* 10. mis is especially true where. * beiore 4 , q>ftici]>atioii. the etimlaikm of tim . people vvai neglcsted 01 prevomed, in rh<* . interest of ,-iavery. F’irmlr c*uvinee(i I that tht* suiiject of popular education de | serve- the earnest attention of the people 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 ag.iiusr titc of official mthorlty to eo 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 (Hi# pobiicutiou has now beau prepared, ami subsequent issues may regularly be expec.ed. Tne importance and interest to ihcT*pdrta jf juitsuiar officer:*, I are witnessed by the general demand for them bv all classes o! merchanic* and J uuiriufactiirors* engige l Hi our foreign I traWi*. Cr is behoved that the system of I -U‘ b ptiblictttkms is deserving of tl*e ap proval of congress, and that the uecs- ; .'try appropriations for irs ctmtintiauce and eulargeuieutwill common I itself ib your consideration. 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 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.
