my power, to act for
interests o‘f the whole people. My
best efforts will be given in the future,
I trust, by my four years’ experieuca
iu the office. When my first term of
the office of Chief Executive began,
the country had not recovered from the
effects of a great internal revolution,
and three or four States of the Union
had not ^egn restored to their federal
.rebuiotfaj seemed to me wise that
r ho newquesooiis .suotrtd he
long ns that condition of affairs existed;
therefore, the past four years, so far
as I could control events, have been
consumed in the effort to restore har
mony, public credit, commerce and all
the arts of peace and progress. It is
my lirm conviction that the civilized
world is tending to republicanism or
government by the jieople through
their chosen representatives, and that
our own great Republic is destined to
he thegtiiding star to all others. Under
our Republic we support au army less
than that of any European power of
any standing, and a navy less thnu
that of either, of at least five of them.
There could be no extension of terri
tory on this continent which would
call for an increase of this force, but
rather might such an extension enable
us to diminish it.
The theory of government changes
with general progress. Now that the
telegraph is made available for com
municating thought, together with
rapid transit by steam, all parts of a
continent are made contiguous for all
purposes of government, and commu
nication between the extreme limits of
the country made easier than it was
throughout the old thirteen States at
the beginning of our natal existence.
The effects of the late civil strife have
been to free the. slave and make him a
citizen. Yet he is not possessed of the
civil rights which citizenship should
carry • with it. This is wrong, and
should lie corrected. To this correc-
I am committed, so far as executive in
fluence can avail. Social equality is
j not a subject to he legislated, nor shall
1 ask that anything he done to advance
the social status of the colored man,
except to give him a fair chance to de-
velop what is i.i him. Give him ac
cess to schools, and when he travels
let him feel assure! that liis conduct
will reguLto the treatment end fare
lie will ic eive. The States lately at
war with the general government arc
now happily rehabilitated, and execu
tive control is not exercised in miv of
them licit would not he exercised in
any other State under the circum-
-tances.
In the first year of the past admin-
istralion the proposition came up for
the admission of Santo Domingo as a
Territory of the Union. It was not
a question of my seeking, but was a
proposition from the people of Santo
Domingo, and which I entertained. I
believe now, as I d.d then, that it was
for the best interests of this country,
for the jieople of Santo Domingo and
all concerned that the propositon should
be received favorably. It was, how
ever, rejected constitutionally, and
therefore the subject was never brought
uj) again by me.
In future, while I hold my present
office, the subject of acquisition of ter
ritory must have the support of the
people before I will recommend any
proposition looking to such acquisition,
say here, however, that 1 do not
hare in the apprehension held I»y
many as to the danger of governments
becoming weakened and destroyed by
reason of their extension of territory.
Commerce, education and rajiid tran
sit ot thought and matter by telegrajih
and steam have changed alT this.
Rather do I believe that our great
Maker is preparing the world, in His
own good time, to become one nation,
speak one language, and when armies
and navies will he no longer required.
My efforts in the future will be direc
ted to the restoration of good feeling
between the different sections • of our
common country, to the restoration ot
our' currency to a fixed value as
CJinpared with the world’s stan
dard of values, gold, and if
possible, to a par with it; to the con
struction of cheap routes of transit
throe ;liout the land, to the end that
the products of all sections may find a
market, and leave a living remunera
tion to the producer; to the mainten
ance of friendly relations with all our
neighbors and distant nations; to the
establishment of our commerce and
share in the carrying trade upon the
ocean ; to the encouragement of such
manufacturing industries as can be
economically pursued in this country,
to the end that the exports of home
products and industries may pay for
our imports, the only sure method of
returning to and permanently main
taining a specie basis to the elevation
of labor; and by a humane recourse
to bring the aborigines of the country
under the benign influence of educa
tion and civilization. It is either this
or a war of extermination. Wars of
extermination engaged in by people
pursuing commerce and all industrial
pursuits are expensive even against
the weakest people, and are demoral
izing and wicked. Our superiority of
strength and advantages of civilization
should make us lenient toward the In
dian.-
The wrong already inflicted upon
him should be taken inta account and
the halace placed to his credit. The
moral view of the question should lie
considered and the question asked.
(Jannot the Indian be made a useful
and productive member of society by
proper teaching aud treatment if the
effort is made in good faith ? We will
stand better before the civilized nations
of the earth and in our consciences for
having made it. All these things are
not to he accomplished by oneindivid
ual, but they will receive my support
and-such recommendations to Congress
as will in my judgment best serve to
carry fhem iuto effect. I beg yonr
supjrort and encouragement. It has
been, and is my earnest desire to cor
rect abuses that have grown up in tha
civil service of the country. To secure
this -reformation, rules regualting
methods of appointment and promo
tion were established, and have Ireen
trifd. My efforts forsuch reformation
shall be continued to the best of my
judgment; the spirit of the rules adop
ted will be maintained and acknowledg
ed before this assemblage, representing
as it does every section of our country.

conferred on me fay returning me to

to render to the best services within
my power. This I premise, looking
forward with the greatest anxieties t>
the day when I shall lie released from
resjamsibilitics that, at times, are
almost overwhelming, and from which
I have scarcely had a respite since the
eventful firing upon Fort .Sumter in
April, 1861, to the present day. My
services were then tend; red and accepted
under the first call for troops growing
out of that event. I did not a*k for
jilace or "position, and was entirely
without influence or the acquaintance
of persons of influence, hut I was resolv
ed to perforin my part in a struggle
threatening the very existence of the
nation. *
I performed a conscious duty with
out asking promotion or command, and
without a revengeful feeling toward
any section or individual.
Notwithstanding this, throughout
the war, and from my candidacy for
my present office in 1868 to the close
of the last Presidential campaign, I
have been the subject of abuse and
slander scarcilev ever equaled in poli
tieal history, which, to-day, I feel that
I can afford to disregard in view of
your verdict, which 1 gratefully accept
as my vindication.

Lebanon, Ivy., March 6.
It is currently reported that Marion
is delighting herself and the adjoining
counties with the unusual sensation of
theappearaneeofa ghost,or a.something
which none of the “ologies” in these
parts has so far satisfactorily cx-
plaincd.
Our readers will remember theap-
I eirance in print sonic three months
ago of the death of Bland Ballard, of
that county, who committed suicide
three days previous to the one that he
should have married a Miss Rhodes,'of
the same neighborhood.
The alleged cause of his self-destruc
tion at the time was his father’s oppo
sition to his remains appeared to rest
quietly in the grave; but of late he
has made frequent visits to the pater
nal mansion, at each time of which lie
was recognized by his father, brother
and sister.
He comes at night, and brings with
him a light, hv which he is distinguish
ed and recognized. He familiarly
opens the door, proceeds to his former
room, and, while there, employs him
self in rummaging through his trunk.
His father has spoken to him, but so
far has failed to elicit an answer. He
makes no attempt to molest any one.
Of course there are many incredible
rumors afloat iii regard to it, and hence
many sjvcc lations. Of the latter, one
is that Thomas Ballard’s farm being a
desirable one, some wily speculator lias
taken the means of personating the son
to comjiel the unhappy father to dis
pose of it at a sacrifice. Others place
it among the Occurrence which no one
can satisfactorily explain.
On the afternoon of the 4th of'De-
cernber last, four gendarmes, carrying
a litter covered with a heavy cloak,
entered the Venosta gate in the fa
mous Corsica city of Ajaccio. A large
concourse of jveople gathered about the
officers, as it was not difficult to see
that the object concealed under the
cloak was a human body. But the
excitement of the crowd grew
more intense when the gendarmes
told them the man whose body

had been a terror to the good _
Corsica. After watching him closely
for a month, the gendarmes had suc
ceeded in tracking him to a cave in the
Corsica mountains, which had hitherto
remained unknown to the inhabitants
of the island in general, and had there,
after a desperate struggle on his part,
shot him dead. Eleven bullets had
riddled the body of this extraordinary
bandit, and when at the pointof death,
with a last desperate effort, he had
frantically bitteu the hand of one of
his slayers.
Antonio Suzzoni, whose fame among
his countrymen will remain as green
as that of the redoubtable Fra Diavolo
did among the Neapolitans, was born
at Ajaccio, in the year 1832, only a few
doors from the historical spot where
Napoleon Bonaparte first saw light.
Like his illustrious countrymen, Suz
zoni displayed in his childhood remark
able traits, and when lie wjs twelve
years old he was looked upon by the
peojile of his native city as the hand
somest and wickedest boy in Ajaccio.
He was arrested again and again du
ring the next few years for theft and
deeds of violence, and. in 1848, for try
ing to set fire to the Orphan Asylum,
sentenced to lie severely scourged and
to he sent to the Bagno of Toulon. He
received the flogging at first with stoic
courage, but finally, as the lash larce-
rated his back more and more, lie be
gan to scream at the top of his voice,
and howled for mercy, which was not
extended to him. He was almost
dead when he was taken back to his
cell, and when he recovered from the
consequences of the castigation, al
though he was chained to the wall,
managed to effect his escape. He fled
to the mountains, where he was hos
pitably received by one o ' tl e uuiuer
ous hands of brigands that infe-t the
highlands of Corsica, and graduated
rapidly in the school of crime.
He was not yet twenty years old
when he had already committed a num
ber of murders, and a reward of one
thousand francs was offered for him,
dead or alive, by Prefect M. Abba-
tucci. The young scoundrel revenged
himself ujam this official in a truly
fiendish manner. He disguised him
self as an organ-grind ami entered M.
Abbatucci’s house, in Ajaccio, where
he was met by the daughter of the officer.
When she told the disguised visitor
who she was, lie threw some vitriol in
her face, which disfigured her for life.
Running hastily toward the door, he

wonders of the world are among the
traditions of childhood, and yet it is a
remarkable fact that nlnty-nine jiersons
out of a hundred who might be asked
the question could not name them.
They nrc the Pyramids—the mystery
of the past, the enigma of the present,
and the enduring for the future ages
of this world. The ‘temple, the walls
and hanging garden* of Babylon, the
Babylon, the most celebrated city of
Assyria, and the residence of the kings
of that country after the destruction
of Ninevah. The Chrysolcjdi line statue

The infamous outrage excited the
most intense excitement iu Ajaccio.
The young men of the city organized an
expedition to hunt up the villainous
Suzzoni, and after scouring the sur
rounding country for several days they
caught him sleeping iu a hay-si a.-k
near the village of Bordone. His cap
tors at first intended to shoot him on
the sjiot, but more jirudent counsels
prevailed, and after tying him so that
lie was unable to move, and gagging
him in order to stoj> his defiant and
blasphemous talk, they conveyed him
to Ajaccio. There he was tried for the
murders and other crimes he had com
mitted, aud on the 20th of April, 1853,
sentenced to death. Ujwn hearing his
doom he burst into derisive laughter,
and told his judges they had better
look out, as he would be sure to get
even with them. He was as good as
his word; for when he was taken to

Suzzoni had a splendid time. In 1856
he was a most handsome young fellow,
with checks as rosy as those of a young
fellow, with cheeks as rosy as those of
a young maiden, small hands and feet,
small twinkling black eyes and
wealth of raven locks. He robbed and
killed, and at the same time became a
libertine of the most unbridled seusu
ality. In 1857, however, Suzzoni hav
having murdered a woman and set fire
to her house near Borin, was arrested
and the soldiers who caught him pre
pared to shoot him. He offered to re
veal to the young officer in command
the place where his accomplices were
concealed, aud after leading the officer
and his men a foolish chase, made his
escape. He was re-caught shortly af-

ment exists in Newport, R. I., in con
sequence of the arrest, last Friday
night, at that place, of one Albert H.
Essex, a manufacturer of rubber goods,
for a most atroci ous crime on the per
sons of two of his daughters, and an
attempt to debauch a third. So far as
the facts have come to light, this brute
had effected his purposes under threats
of death if compliance was not given,
made more certain of being carried out
by exhibition of deadly weapons. The
latest attempt on his youngest daugh
ter, a girl about fifteen years of age,
begot a determination on-the part of his
family to hinder its completion ntwhat
ever risk to the unnatural husband and
father, and complaint was entered
against him, and he was arrested as
stated. Essex is well off, pecuniarily,
and has borne a fair character, though
never popular, among his fellow citi
zens ; he certainly Has not been looked
upon as a libertine. On Saturday
morning when his arrest, and the story
of its cause got abroad in Newport,
there was much public indignation.
Same morning, the prisoner, in a let
ter to his family made a strong plea
that they would “withdraw their
charges and save his soul,” hut they
would not probably do so. A jnelimi-
nary examination of the charge against
this monster will take place to-morrow
(Tuesday) before Judge Tappan at
Newport.

A Berlin photographer has resorted
to a singular exjiedient. He advertised
that he could make the pictures of
gentlemen so life-like that their dogs

surely enough, when the photograph

honest creatures would begin to wag
their tails and lick the pictures.
This stimulated the investiga
tion of the other Berlin photo

pass a similar achievement, and the
secret was finally discovered. All the
delighter of the dogs did was to cover
the photographs with a thin coating ot
lard; and this it was that made the
