it id alleged conflicts with the vested
rights oi citizens of the United Slates.
The Department of State has now this
subject under consideration.
The Minister of Pern having made
representations that there was a state
of war between Pern nnel w pain, and
that Spain was eOiistrriering in and
near New York thirty gunboats which
might be used hy Spain to relieve the
naval forces at Cuba to operate agaiu-t
Peru, orders were given to pr .- : :
their departure. No farther stops have j
been, taken l.\ the repw seutathe of the :
Peruvian Government to prevent the !
departure o; these vearfelK, and I not |
feeling authorized to detain property oi;
a nation with wh’ch are at peace, J
on a mere executive order, the matter
was referred to the courts.
The conduct of the war between the
allies and the Republic of Paraguay
has made intercourse with that, couu- j
try difficult, and it bus been deemed
advisable to withdraw our repre eutu-,
tive from there.
Towards the clone of the last admin-,
ktration, a convention was signed at!
London for the settlement of outstand-;
ing claims between Great Britain and
the United States, which failed to re- :
ceive the advice and consent of the I
Senate. The time and circumstances j
attending the negotiations of that trea- j
ty were unfavorable to its acceptance |
by the people of the United States, j
and its provisions were wholly inade- j
quate for the settlement o‘ the grave ;
wrongs sustained by this Government
Injuries resulting to the United States
by reason of the course adopted by
Great Britaiu during the war, incrcas- 1
ed the rates of insurance in the ditnin
ution of exports and imports, and oth
er obstructions to domestic industry ,
and production, in its effect upon the
foreign commerce of Hie country, in a
decrease mid transfer to Great Britain
of our commercial marine, the prolon
gation of the war and increased cost
both in treasure and in lives, and of its
suppression, could not be adjusted and
satisfied as ordinary commercial claims '
which continually arise between com- j
merciul nations. And yet the Conwn- j
tion treated them simply as such ordi- j
nary claims, from which they di or
more widely in the gratuity of their j
character than the magnitude of their i
a noun*. Great even us is that differ •
ence, not a word was found in the troa- j
ty, and no* an inference could be drawn i
from it to remove the sense of unfriend- j
liness of the course of Great Britain in ;
cur struggle for redress, which has so
deeply and universally impressed itself j
upon the people of this country, Be
lieving that a convention thus miscon- .
reived in its scope and inadequate in
its provisions, would not have produc
ed the healthy, cordial settlement of
pending questions, which alone is con
sistent with the relations which I de
sire to have firmly established between
the United States and Great Britain,
I regard the action of the Senate in re
jecting the treaties to have been wisely
taken in the interest of peace and as a '
necessary step in the direction of a pu- |
feet and cardinal friendship between ,
the two countries. A sensitive people, j
conscious of their p >wer, are more at I
ease under a great wrong, wholly un- (
desirable, than under the restraint of a
nettlemons which a.ititih s neither their
ideas of justice nor their grave sense oi
the grionnec they have sustained, —
The rejection of the treaty was follow
ed by a s'. of public feeling an both
sides which 1 thought not favorable to
nn immediate attempt at renewed ne
gotiation*. I accordingly so instruct
ed the minister of the United States to
Great Britain, and fouud that mv views
in this regard were shared by her maj
esty’s ministers. I hope that the time
may soon arrive when the two Govern
ments can approach the solution of
this momenious question with an ap
preciation of what is due to the rights,
dignity and honor of each, and with a
determination not only to remove the
causes of complaint in the past, but to
lay the foundation of a broad principle
of public law which wid prevent future
differences, and tend to a firm and con
tinued peace and friendship. This is
now the only grave question which the
United States has with any foreign na
tion.
The question of renewing the treaty
for reciprocal trade between the Uni
ted States and the British provinces
on this continent, is favorably consid
ered in conformity with the recommen
dation of Congress.
A proposition to abolish mixed
courts for the suppression of the slave
trade is under nego nation.
It having come to my knowledge
that a corporate company, organized
tinder British laws, proposed to land
upon the shores of the United TStates,
and to operate there a submarine ca
ble under a concession of the Emperor
of the French, of nn exclusive right
for twenty years of telegraphic com
munication between the shores of
France and the Uuited States, with the
very objectionable feature of subject
ing all messages conveyed thereby to
the scrutiny and control of the French
Government, I caused the French and
British Legislations at Washington to
be made acquainted with the probable
policy of Congress on this subject as
foreshadowed by a bill which passed the
Senate in March last. This drew from
the representatives of the company an
agreement to accept as the basis of
their operations, the provisions of the
bill, or such other enactment on the
Bubjcctas might be passed during the
approaching session of Cong; ess; also
to use their influence to secure from
the French Government a modifica
tion of their ccnce sion to permit the
landing of any cable belonging to any
company incorporated by authority of
tho United States, or any State in the
Union, and on their part not to oppose
the establishment of any such cable.—
In consideration of this agreement, I
directed the withdrawal of all opposi
tion by the United States to the l.ind-
in" of the cable until tl:e meeting of
Congress. 1 regret to siy that there
bas been no modification made in the
company's concosssion, nor so far as I
can learn have they attempted to se- 1
care one. Their concession excludes
the capital and citizens of the United I
States from competition upon the shores. j
of Franco. I recommend legislation |
to protect due rights of citizens of the '
United Stales and the sovereignty of j
the nation against such an assumption.
I shall also endeavor to secure by ne
gotiation an abandonment of" the 1
princip ooi monopolies in Ocean Tel
egraph cables. The unsettled politi
cal condition of other countries less
for.uuatc than our own, sometimes in
du *es their citizens to come to the
United States for the sol* purpose of
; bee.n--.ing naturali/od. i laving secur
jed this, they return to their native
, country and reside there. Without
j citizens oi .ica native lauds, under,
! passports describing them as such citi
! zens, arid it if? only when civil discord, :
I after perhaps years of quiet, threatens
; their persons or their property, or
when their native State drafts them I
into its military service, that their
1 change of allegiance is known. They ;
reside permanently away from the
United States, contributes nothing to j
its revenues, avoid the duties of citi
zenship, and only mako themselves
known by a claim of protection. I
have directed the diplomatic and con
sular officers to scrutinize carefully all
such claims of protection. The citizen
of the United States whether native or
adopted, who discharges bis duty to
his country, is entitled to its complete |
protection. While I have a voice in
tho direction of affairs, 1 shall not con- 1
sent to imperil this sacred right by
conferring it upon fictitious or fraudu- I
lent claimants.
Invitations have been extended to
the Cabinet from London, Paris, Flor
ence, Berlin Brusselis, the Hague, Co
penhagen and Stockholm, to empower
their representatives at Washington to
simultaneously enter into negotiations
and to conclude with the United States
Conventions identical in form, making j
uniform regulations as tot he construe- !
tion of parts of vessels to be devoted to
the use of emigrant passengers, as to
quality and quantify of food, as to the
medical treatment of the sick and to
the rules to be observed during the
voyage, in order to secure ventilation,
to promote health, to prevent intrusion,
to protect the females, and providing
for the establishment of tribunals in
the countries for enforcing such regu
lations by summary process.
Your attention is respectfully called
to the law requiring the tariff on Rus
sian hemp and to the question whether !
to fix the charges on Russian hemp |
higher than they are fixed upon Ma- !
niila is not a violation of o'u- treaty .
1 with Russia, placing her products np
; on the s ime foo'iug with those of the
most favored nations.
Oar manufactures are increasing with
wonde ful rapidity under the encour
, ageme it which they now receive. With
the improvements in machinery alrea
dy affhetej and still increasing, caus
, ing machinery to t ike the place of
skilled labor to a large extent, our im
| ports of many articles must fall off
; largely within a few years. Fprtunate
j ly, too, manufacturers are not confined
; to a few localities as formerly, and it is
to be hoped will becorno more and more
diffused, making the interest in them
equal in all sections. They give em
ployment and support to hundreds of
thou-anls of people at home, and re
tain wuh,ns the menus .which other
wise would lo snipped abroad. The
extension of the Railroads in Europe
and the Last r- re 1 ringing into com pe
nt ion Willi our agricultui ai products
ion.- product* of other countries. Self
intere 4, if not self preservation, there
fore, directs caution against disturbing
any industrial interest of the country.
It teaches us also the necessity of look
; mg to other markets for the sale of our
: surplus. Our neighbors South of us
; aud China and Japan should receive
j our special attention. It will be the
i endeavor of the administration to cul
; tivate such relations with all these na-
I tions as t > entitle us to their confidence,
and make it their interest as well as
' ours to establish better conn .ercial re-
I lations.
Through tho agency of a more en
lightened policy than that heretofore
pursued towards China, largely due to
j tne sagacity and efforts of one of our
j own distinguished citizens, the world is
i about to commence largely increased
rela.ious with that populous and hith
erto exclusive nation. As the United
States have been initiators in this new
pol.cy, so they should be the most earn
est in showing their good faith in
making it a success In this connec
tion I .advise such legislation as will
forever preclude the enslavement of the
Chinese upon our soil, under the name
of Coolies, and also prevent American
vessels from engaging in the transpor
tation of Coolies to any country toler
ating the system. I also recommend
that the mission to China be raised to
one of the first class.
On my assuming the responsible du
ties of Chief Magistrate of the United
States, was with the conviction that
! ihree things were essential to its peace,
: prosperity and fullest developments.—
i Fir fc among these is strict integrity in
! fulfilling all our obligations. Second:
i It secures protection to the person and
; property of the citizen of tho United
j States iu ea :h and every portion of our
j common country wherever he may
choose'to move, without reference to
| original nationality, religion, color or
polities, demanding of liim only obedi
ence to the law* and proper respect for
the rights of others. Third: Union of
all the States with equal rights, inde
| structible by any constitutional means.
To secure the first of these, Congress
i has taken two essential steps; First:
In declaring, by joint resolution, that
the public debt shall be paid, principal
and interest, in coin; and second, by
providing the means for paying. Pro
viding the means, hovveve , could not
secure the object desired without a pro
per administration of the laws for the
collection of the revenues, and an eco
nimical disbursement of them. To this
subject the administration has most
earnestly addressed itself, with rosults, j
l hope, satisfactory to the country.—
I here has been no hesitation in chang
ing officials in order to secure an effi
cient execution of the laws, sometimes,
too, where, in a mere party view, un
desirable political results were likely to
follow, nor any hesitation in sustaining
efficient officials against reiuoustruncto
wholly political.
It may be well to mention here the
embarrassment possible to arise from
leaving on the statute books the so
called tenure of office acts, and I earn
estly recommend their total repeal. It
could not have been the intention of
the framers of the Constitution, whsn
; providing that. Appointments made bv
the President should receive the con
sent of the Senate, that the kilter
| should have the power to retain in of
i fice persons placed there- by federal ap
i pointmfents against the will of the Pres
! ident. The law is inconsistent with a
: faithful and efficient administration -of
the Government. What faith can an
j executive put in officials forced upon
' him, and those, too, whom he snspend
!ed for reason? How will such officials
; be likely to serve an administration
i which they know does not trust them?
For the second requisite to our
I growth and prosperity, time and a firm !
I but humane administration of existing I
! laws. They may be ineffective or prove '
harsh and unnecessary or probably all
that are required. The 3rd cannot be
attained by special legislation, but must !
ba regarded as fixed by the Constitu
tion itself, and gradually acquiesced in
by force of public opinion.
From the foundation of the Govern-1
ment to the present, tho management j
of the original inhabitants of this con- j
tinent, the Indians, has been a subject j
of embarrassment and expense, and i
has been attended with continuous rob-,
beries, murders and wars. From my
own experience upon the frontiers, and •
in Indian countries. I do not hold ei- i
ther legislation or the conduct of the
whites who c ;me most in contact with
the Indians, blameless with these hos
tilities. The past, however, cannot be
undone, and the question must be met
as we now find it. I have attempted
anew policy toward th se wards of the j
nation—they cannot be regarded in !
any other light than as wards—with j
fair results so far as tried and which Ii
hope will be attended ultimately with i
great success. The Society of Friends j
is well known as having succeeded in j
living in peace with the Indians in the ]
early settlement of Pennsylvania, while j
their white neighborsof other sects, in j
other sections were constantly embroil-1
ed. They are also known for their op- j
position to all strife, violence and war, i
and are generally noted for their strict j
integrity and fair de dings. These con- |
federations induced me to give the j
management of a few reservations of!
Indians to them, and to throw the bur- I
den of selection of agents upon the So- j
| cksty itself. The result has proved !
| most satisfactory. It will be* found!
| more fully set forth in the report of the
j Commissioner of Indian Affairs. For
! Superintendents and Indian agents not
on the re ervation, officers of the army
were selected. The reasons for this
are numerous. Where Indian agents
are sent, there, or near there, troops
must be sent also. The agent and the
| Commander of troop; are independent |
1 of each other, and are subject t >orders j
1 from different departments of the Gov j
j eminent. The army officer holds aj
position for life, the agent one at the j
will of the President. The form ris
| personally interested in living in lur
j tnony With the Indian, and in estab-
lishing a permanent pence to the end
that some portion of his fife may be
spent within the limits of civilized so
ciety. The latter has no such personal
interest. Another reason is an eco
nomic one, and still another, the hold
which the Government has upon a life
officer to secure a faithful discharge of
duties in carrying out a given policy.
The building of railroads and the ac
cess thereby given to all the agricultu
ral and mineral regions of the country
is rapidly bringing civilization into con
tact with all the tribes of Indians. No
matter what ought to be the relations
between such settlements and the In
dians, the fact ii they do not harmo
nize well, and one or tho other has to
give way in the end. A system which
looks to the extinction of a race is too
horrible for a nation to adopt without
entailing upon itself the wrath of all
Christen! >m. and engendering in the
citizen a disregard for hutnanlife and
the rights of others dangerous to soci
ety. I see no substitute for such a sys
tem except in placing all the Indians
on large reservations as rapidly as it
can be done, and giving them absolute
protection there. As soon as they are
fitted f >r it, they should lie induced to
take their lands severally, and to set
up territorial governments for their
own protection. For full details on
this subject I bail your special atten
tion to the reports of the Secretary of
the Interior and the Commissioner of
j Indian Affairs.
The recommendation of the General
jof the army that appropriations be
made for the ports of Boston, Port
> laud, New York, Philadelphia, New
| Orleans aud San Francisco, if for no
! other, is concurred in.
I call special attention to the recom
mendation of tho Chief cf Ordnance
for the sale of arsenals and lands no
longer of use to the government, also,
to the recommendation of the Secreta
ry of War that the act prohibiting pro
motion in the staff corps of the army
be repealed. The extent of country to
be garrisoned and the number of mili
tary posts to be occupied is the same
with a reduced army, as with a large
one, the number of staff officers requir
ed ii more dependent upon the latter
than the former condition.
The report of the Secretary of the
J Navy, ac ompanying this, shows the
| condition of the navy when this ad-
I ministration came into office, and the
! changes made since. Strenuous efforts
have been made to place as many ves
sels in commission, or render them fit
for service, if required, as possible, and
to substitute the sail for steam whilst
cruising, thus materially reducing the
expenses of the navy and adding great
ly to its efficiency. Looking to our fu
ture, I recommend a liberal, though not
extravagant policy, toward this branch
of the public service.
The report of the Postmaster Gan
! eral furnishes a clear and comprehen
sive exhibit of the operations of the
j postal service, and of the financial cou
; dition of the Postoffice Depi rtraent.—
| The ordinary postal revenues for the
year t Hiding the 30th of June, 1809, j
amounted to $16,414,510; and the ex- ;
ponditures to $23,498,131. Your at-1
tension is respectfully called to the re-1
c omniimdation made bv the Postmaster j
General for authority to change the !
rate of compensation to the main trunk ;
railroad linos for their services in car- j
rying the meils; for having post route !
maps executed; for reorganizing and!
increasing the efficiency of the special I
agency service; for increase of the j
mail service on the Pacific, and for ee- ;
tablishir.g mail service under the flag
of the Union on the Atlantic, and most
especially do l cali your attention to
Iris recommendation for the total abo
! lition of the franking privilege. This
j is an abuse from which no one receives
: a commensurate advantage. It re
i duces the receipts for postal service
| from 25 to 30 per cent., and largely
; increases the servicefto be performed
! during the year, ending the 30th of
! September, 1809.
The Patent Office issued 13,702 pat
-1 ents, and its receipts were $380,389,
1 being $213,920 more than the exnendi
! lures.
I would respectfully call your atten
tion to the recommendation of the Sec
retary of the Interior for uniting the
duties of supervising the education of
freedmen with the other duties devolv
ing upon the Commissioner of Educa
tion.
If it is the desire of Congress to make
the census, which must be taken dur
ing the year 1870, more complete and
perfect than heretofore, I would sug
gest early action upon any plan that
may be agreed upon. As Congress, at
the last session, appointed a committee
to take into consideration such meas
un s as might be deemed proper in ref
erence to the census, and to report a
plan, I desist from saying more.
I recommend to your favorable con
sideration the claims of the Agricultu
ral Bureau for liberal appropriations
in a country so di verified in climate and
soil as ours, and with a population so
largely dependent upon agriculture.—
The benefits that can bo conferred Im
properly fostering this Bureau are in
dispensiLle.
I desire, respectfully-, to call the at
tention of Congress to the inadequate
salaries of a number of the most im
portant officers of the Government.
In this message I will not enumerate
them, but will specify only the Justices
of the Supreme Court. No change has
been made in their salaries for fifteen
years. W ithin that time the labors of
these Courts have largely increased,
and the expenses of living have at least
doubled during the same time. Con
gress has twice found it necessary to
increase largely the compensation of
its own members, and the duty which
it owes to another department of the
Government deserves, and will un
doubtedly receive, due comideration.
There are many subjects, not alluded
to in this message, which might with
propriety be introduced, but I abstain,
believing that your patriotism and
statesmanship will suggest the topics
and the legislation most conducive to
the interests of the whole people. On
my part, I promise a rigid adherence
to the laws and their strict euforoe
uient. U. S. Grant.

CARTE RSV IDLE, GA., DEC, 16t:i. 1800
ffey-We had the pleasure of being in
attendance upon the North Georgia Confer
ence, at Rome, last week, and enjoying the
hospitalities of some of her warm-hearted
and generous citizens, which is proverbial
wherever our little mountain city is known.
Wc also had the pleasure of listening to dis
courses from some of the brightest lights in
the Methodist E. Church South, and which
vve hesitate not in saying arc unrivalled by
any church lights of the age, hero or else
where, in our humble opinion. To say no
thing of our North Ga Conference preach
ers, wc heard, on Saturdy night last, a lec
ture from the justly distinguished Dr. iilun
scy, ol the Baltimore Conference and Secre
tary of the Board of Foreign Missions. Al
though possessing not a very imposing per
sonal appearance, he evinces powers of in
tellectual culture rarely attained by any one
in this life. He may be truthfully cailed an
intellectual giant, which fact is attributable,
in great degree, to his studious habits. He
has the perfect mastery of language, and,
consequently is never at a loss lor a word,
We think, lie fully comes up to representa
tion.
On Sabbath, A. Af., we listened to an able
and powerful sermon from Bishop Dogget,
on the text ‘-And Paul stood in the midst
of Mar’s Ilill.” Here he arrayed paganism
against Christianity—the triumph ot truth
over error, in a chaste. log.cal aud forcible
discourse of an hour’s lcugti). Bishop Dog
get is a ripe scholar, an able exponent of
the scriptures, and possessed of tine admin
istrative abilities, of dignified appearance,
and gentlemanly bearing.
In the afternoon we heard the wonderful
prodigy of America—the boy preacher, Rev.
Robert A. Holland, only about 24 years of
age, began his ministry at the early age ol
17, we learn. Though so young he handled
the scriptures with the mind of a sago, llis
language was beautiful, his style of address
easy but forcible and impressive, his figures
sttbiime, and his appearance mild and lamb
l.ke. While nature and grace have both
lavishly bestowed their gilis upon him, he
nevertheless is now, andnasbeen, a student.
Southern Methodism will; doubtless, in the
history of this rising star of the 19th centu
ry, have cause, in the future, for which to
thank and praise iod.
While we reviewed the vast audiences who
listened with such undivided attention to
these great men, the thought flipped across
our mind, how many of them might have
attained, in great measure, to th# same de
gree of usefulness had they made the same
application of time to study and research.
VV e also had the pleasure of hearing, for
! tlie first time, a sermon preached by that
gifted son of the North Georgia Conference,
Ur. J esse Boring, which was replete with
sound logic, good sense, and godly admoni
tions
The following are the nppoiutmcnts for
