Washington, Dec. 1, 1671.
lo the Sena te and House of Representa
: tines of the United States :
CONGKATULATIONB.
In addressing my third message to the
law-making branch of the Government, it
j, gratifying to be able to state t hat during
: the past year success has generally atten
! ded the effort to execute all laws found
: upon the statute books. The policy has
been not to enquire into the wisdom of
the laws already enacted ; but to learn
their spirit and intent and to enforce them
accordingly.
DISASTERS or THY YEAIL
The past year has. under a v;->. Pr.Ai
uence, been ono of general pr' isperity to
I the nation. It has, however, been attend
ed with more than usual chastisements
and the loss of life and property by tire,
i These disasters have served to call forth
the best elements of human nature in our
! country, and to develop a friendship for
i us on the part of foreign nations which
i goes far towards alleviating the distress
; occasioned by these calamities Thebe#-
| nevolent who have so generously shared
; their means with the victims of these mis
; fortunes, will reap their reward in the
■ consciousness of having periormed a noble
; act, and in receiving the grateful thanks
of men, women and children whose suf
ferings they have relieved
foeeign relations.
The relations of the United Stales with
. foreign powers continue to be friendly,
i The year has been an eventful one in wit
nessing two great nations speaking one
language, and having one lineage, settling
i by peaceful arbitration, disputes of long
! standing, and liable at any time to bring
| those nations into bloody and costly con
flict. An example has thus been set.
! which in its final issue, may be followed
by other civilized nations, and finally be
| the means of returning to productive in
j dustry millions of men now maintained to
j settle the disputes of nations by the bayo-
I net and the broad side.
THE JOINT TREATY
I transmit herewith a copy of the treaty
i alluded to, which has been concluded,
i since the adjournment of Congress, with
| Her Britanic Majesty, and a copy of the
■ protocols of the conferences of the com-
I missioners, by whom it was negotiated.
| This treaty provides methods for adjust
! mg the questions pending between the
| two nations. Various questions are to be
[ adjusted by arbitration. I recommend
I Congress at an early day to make the
j necessary provision for the tribunal at
Geneva, and for the several commissions
j on the part of the United States called for
Jby the treaty. His Majesty, the King of
! Italy, the President of the Swiss Confede
ration and His Majesty, the Emperor of
! Brazil, have each consented, on the joint
j request of the two powers, to name an ar
| bitrator for the tribunal at Geneva. I
1 have caused my thanks to be suitably ex
! pressed for the readiness with which the
: joint request has been complied with, by
! ilie appointment of gentlemen of eirii
! nence and learning to these important
j positions.
| His Majesty, the Emperor of Germany
I has been pleased to comply with the joint
; request of the two governments, and has
I consented to act as thearbitrator of the
i disputed water boundary between the
| United States and Great Britain. The
; contracting parties in the treaty have un
! dortaken to regard as between themselves
j certain principles of public law for which
the United States have contended from
the commencement of their history.—
They have also agreed to bring these prin
ciples to the knowledge of the other mar
itime powers, and to iuvito them to accede
to them. Negotiations are going on as
I to the form of the note by which the in
vitation is to be extended to the other
powers.
I recommend the legislation necessary
on the part of the United States to bring
into operation the articles of the treaty
relating to the fisheries and to the other
mutters touching the relations of the Uni- j
ted States towards the British North ■
American Provinces to become opreative I
so soon as the proposed legislation shall
be had on the part of Great Britain and
its possessions. It is much to be desired
that this legislation may become opera
| tive before the fishermen of the United
| States begin to make their arrangements
j for the coming season.
: l have addressed a communication, of
| which a copy is transmitted herewith, to
' the Governors of New York. Pennsylva
i nia, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Wis-
I consin, urging upon the Governors of
I those States respectively the necessary
! action on their part to carry into effect
! the object of the article of the treaty
which contemplates the use of the canal
on either side, connected with the navi
gation of the lakes and rivers forming
the boundary, on terms of equality by
the inhabitants of both countries. It is
| hoped that the importance of the object
I and the benefits to flow therefrom will se
cure the speedy approval and legislative
j sanction of the States concerned.
NORTHERN BOUNDARY.
j I renew the recommendation for an »p
--| propriation for determining the true po
j sitiou of the forty-ninth parallel of lati
| tude where it forms the boundary between
. the United States and the British North
j American Possessions, between the Lake
jof the Woods and the summit of the
j lfoeky Mountains. The early action of
Congress on this recommendation would
put it in the power of the War Depart
ment to place a force in the field during
the next summer.
III.VNCr. AND GERMANY.
The resumption of diplomatic relations
betweeu France ami Germany, have ena
bled me to give instructions for the with
drawal of the protection extended to Ger
mans in France by the diplomatic and
consular representatives of the. United
l States in that country. It is just to add
j that delicate duty of this protection has
| been performed by the Minister and Con
-1 sui General at Paris and the various Con
; suls in France, under the supervision of
I the latter, with great kindness as well as
prudence and tact. Their course has re
nt ived tho commendation of the German
Government, and has wounded no sus
ceptibility of the French.
The Government of the Emperor of
Germany continues to manifest a friendly
feeling towards the United States, and a
desire to harmonize with the moderate
aud just policy which this Government
maintains in its relations with Asiatic'
powers, as well as with the South Ameri
can Republics. I have given assurances
that the friendly feelings of that Govern
ment are fully shared by the United
States.
HUNGARY AND ITALY.
The ratifications of the Consular and
Naturalization Conventions with the
Austro-Hungarians have been exchanged.
1 have been officially informed of the
annexation of the States of the Church to
the kingdom of Italy, aud the removal of
the capital of that kingdom to Rome. In
conformity with the established policy ot
the United States I have recognized this
change. The ratlication of the new trea
ty of commerce between the United
States and Itally have been exchanged.—
The two powers have agreed in this trea
ty. that private property at sea shall be
I exempt from capture iu ease of war be
tweeu the two powers. lhe United
States has spared no opportunity of in
‘ corporating this rule into the obligation
of nations.
CLAIMS AGAINST SPAIN.
ihe forty-first Congress, at its third
; session, made an appropriation for the
- organization of a mixed commission for
adjudicating upon the claims of citizens
of the United States against Spain, grow
ing out of the insurrection in Cuba.—
That commission has never been org .n
--ized. I transmit herewith the corres
pondence relative to its formation and its
jurisdiction. It is to be hoped that this
commission will afford the claimants a
complete remedy for their injuries.
SPAIN AND THE SOUTH AMERICAN BKFVB
LICS.
It has been made the agreeable duty of
the United States to preside over a confe
rence at Washington between the pleni
potentiaries of Spain aad the allied South
American Republics, which has resulted ,
m an armistice, with reasonable assurance ,
of a permanent peace
UNITED STATES AND BUSSI.4.
The intimate friendly relations which
have so long existed between the United
States and Russia continue undisturbed.
The visit of the third son of the Emperor
is a proof that there is no desirs on ihe part
of his government to disturb the cordiali
ty of those relations. The hospitable re
ception which has been given to the i
Grand Duke is a proof tha: on our side I
we share tho w-ishes of that government.
The inexcusable course of the Russian I
Minister at Washington rendered it ne- i
cessary to ask his recall, and to decline to
receive that functionary as a diplomatic I
representative. It was impossible, with ;
sell respect or with a just regard to the ;
dignity of the country, to permit Mr. j
Catacazy to continue to' hold intercourse
with this Government after his personal *
abuse of Government officials, and du
ring his persistent interference by vari
ous means with the relations between the j
United States and other powers. In ac
eor iance with my wishes this Govern
ment has beer, relieved of future inter
course with Mr. Catacazy, and the man
agement. of the affairs of the imperial le
gation has passed into the hands of a gen
tleman entirely unobjectionable.
JAPAN.
With Japan we continue to maintain
intimate relations. The Cabinet, of the
Mikado has, since the clony of the last
session of Congress, selected citizens o!
the United States to serve m affairs of
importance in several departments ot
government. I have reason to think this
selection is due to an appreciation of the
disinterestedness of the policy which the
United States have pursued towards Japan.
CHINA.
We desire to continue to maintain this
disinterested and just policy with China
as well as Japan. The correspondence
transmitted herewith shows that there is
no disposition on the part of this Gov
ernment to swerve from its established
course.
THE COIiEAN WAR.
Prompted by a desire to put an end
to the barbarous treatment of our ship
wrecked sailors on the Corean coast, I
instructed our minister at Pekin to en
deavor to conclude a convention with
Coma for securing the safety and humane
treatment of such mariners. Admiral
Rogers was instructed to accompany him
with a sufficient force to protect him in
case of need. A small surveying party
sent out, on reaching the coast, was
treacherously attacked at a disadvantage.
Ample opportunity was given for explan
ation and apology for the insult- —neither
came* and a force was then landed. After
an arduous march over a rugged and diffi
cult, country, the forts from which the
outrages had been committed were re
duced by a gallant assault and were de
stroyed. Having thus punished the crim
inals and having vindicated the honor of
the flag, the expedition returned, finding
it impracticable under the circumstances
to conclude the desired convention. I
respectfully refer to the correspondence
relating thereto and herewith submitted,
and leave the subject for such action as
Congress may see fit to take.
MEXICO.
The Republic of Mexico has not yet
repealed the very objectionable laws es
tablishing what is known as the Free Zone
on the frontier of the United States. It
is hoped that this may yet be done, and
also that more stringent measures may be*
taken by that republic for restraining
lawless persons on its frontier. 1 hope
that Mexico, by its own action, will soon
relieve this Government of the difficulties
experienced from these causes.
CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA.
Our relations with the various Republics
of Central and South America continue,
with one exception, to be cordial and
friendly. I recommend some action by
Congress regarding the over due install
ments under ths award of the Venezuela
Claims Commission of 1866. The inter
nal dissensions of this government pre
sent no justification for the absence of an
effort to meet their solemn treaty obliga
tions. The ratification of an extradition
treaty with Nicaragua has been ex
changed. It is a subject of congratulation
that the great empire of Brazil has taken
the initiatory step towards the abolition
of slavery. Our relations with that em
pire, always cordial, will naturally be
mado more so by this act. It is not too
much to hope that the government of
Brazil may hereafter find it for its inter
ests, as well as intrinsically right, to ad
vance toward einancipa ion more rapidly
than the present act contemplates. The
true prosperity and greatness of a nation
is to be found in the elevation and educa
tion of its laborers.
SPAIN AND WEST INDIA SLAVERY.
It is a subject for regret that the re
forms in this direction which were volun
tarily promised by the statesmen of Spain,
have not been carried out in its West In
dia colonies. The laws and regulations
for the apparent abolition of slavery in
Cuba and Porto Rico, leave most of the
laborers in bondage, with no hope of re
lease until their lives become a burden to
their employers. I desire to direct your
attention to the fact that the citizens of
the United States, or persons claiming to
be citizens of the United States, are large
holders in foreign lands of this species of
property, forbidden by the fundamental
law of their alleged country. I recom
mend to Congress to provide, by stringent
legislation, a suitable remedy against tho
holding, owning or dealing in slaves, or
being interested in slave property in for
eign lands, either ns owners, hirers or
mortgagees by citizens of the United
States.
THE CUBAN REVOLUTION.
It is to be regretted that tho disturbed
condition of the island of Cuba continues
to be a source of annoyance and of anx
iety. The existence of a protracted strug
gle in such close proximity to our own
territory, without apparent prospect of an
early termination, cannot be other than an
object of concern to a people who, while
abstaining from interference in the affairs
of other powers, naturally desire to see
every country in the undisturbed enjoy
ment of peace, liberty and the blessings
of free institutions. Our naval command
ers in Cuban waters have been instructed,
in case it should become necessary, to
spare no effort to protect the lives and
liberties of bona fide American citizens,
and to maintain the dignity of the flag. It
is hoped that all pending questions with
Spain, growing out of the affairs of Cuba,
may be adjusted in the spirit of peace and
conciliation which has hitherto guided the
two powers in their treatment of such
questions.
THE CHINA AND JAI’AN MISSIONS.
To give importance and to add to the
efficiency of our diplomatic relations with
Japan and China, and to further aid in re
taining the good opinion of those peoples
and to secure to the United States its
share of the commerce destined to flow
between these nations and the balance of
the commercial world, I earnestly recom
mend that an appropriation be made to
support at least four American youhts in
each of these countrios to serve as a part
of the official family of our ministers there.
Our Representatives would not even then
be placed upon an equality with the rep
resentatives of Great Britain and of some
other powers. As now situated, our rep
resentatives in Japan and China have tu
depend for interpreters and translators
upon natives of those countries, who
know our language imperfectly, or pro
cure for the occasion the service of em
ployees of foreign business houses, or the
interpreters of other foreign lines. I
would also recommend liberal measures
for the purpose of supporting the Amer
ican lines of steamers now plying between
San Francisco and Japan and China, and
the Australian line—almost our only re
maining lines of ocean steamers—and of
increasing their services.
THE NATIONAL FINANCES.
The national debt has been reduced to
i the extent of §86,057,136 80 during the
year, and by the negotiations of national
bonds at a lower rate of interest, the in
terest on the public debt has been so far
diminished that now the sum raised from
: the interest account is nearly f17,000,000
less than on the first of March, 1861). It
was highly desirable that this rapid dimin
ution should take place, both to strength
en tho credit of the country, and to con
vince its citizens of their entire ability to
meet every dollar of liability without
bankrupting them.
But in view of the accomplishment of
these desirable ends—of the rapid devel
opment of the resources of the country
—its increasing ability to meet large de
mands, and the amount already paid, it is
not desirable that the present resources
of the country should continue to be tux
ed in order to continue this rapid pay
ment. I, therefore, recommend a modi
fication of both the tariff and interna! tax
laws I recommend that all taxes from
internal sources be abolished, except
those collected from spiritous, vinous and
malt liquors, tobacco in its various forms
and from stamp*.
in re-adjusting the tariff, I suggest that
a careful estimate be made of the amount
of surplus revenue collected under the
present laws, after providing for the cur
rent expenses of the Government—the
interest account and a sinking fund, and
that this surplus be reduced in such a
manner as to afford the greatest relief to
(he greatest number. There are many
articles not produced at home but which
enter largely into general consumption,
though articles which are manufactured
at home, such as medicines compounded,
etc., etc., from which very littie revenue
is derived, but which enter into general
use All such articles I recommend to be
placed on the “free list. " Should a fur
ther reduction prove advisable I would
then recommend that it be made upon
those articles which can best bear it,
without disturbing home production or
reducing the wages of American labor.
I have not entered into figures because
to do so would be to repeat what will be
laid before you in the report of the Sec
retary of the Treasury. The present laws
for collecting the revenue pay the collee
tors of customs small sallaries, but pro
vide for moiety shares in all seizures,
which, at the principal ports of entry par
ticularlv. raise the compensation of these
officials to a large sum. It has always
seemed to me as if this system must, at
times, work perniciously. It holds out
an inducement to dishonest men, should ;
such get possession of these office, to be
lax in their scrutiny of goods entered m
order to enable them finally to make
large seizures. Your attention is respect
fully invited to this subject.
SPECIE PAYMENTS.
Continued fluctuations in the value of
gold as compared with the national cur
rency has a most damaging effect upon
the increase and development of the
country —in keeping up prices of all ar
ticles necessary in every day life. It sos- :
ters a spirit of gambling, prejudicial alike
to national morals and the national finan
ces. If the question can be met with
how to give a fixed value to our currency
that value constantly and uniformly ap
proaching par with specie—a very desira
ble object will be gained.
TEE ARMY.
For the operations of the army in the
past year—the expense of maintaing it—
the estimates for tho ensuing year, and j
for continuing seacoast and other im
provements conducted by the War De
partment, I refer you to the accompany
ing report of the Secretary of War. I I
call your attention to the provisions of
the act of Congress, approved March 3d, j
1861), which discontinues promotions in
the staff corps of the army, until provided
for by law. I recommend that the num
ber of officers in each grade in staff corps
be fixed, and that whenever the number
in any one grade falls below the number
so fixed, that the vacancy may be filled
by promotion from the grade below. I
also recommend that when the office of
chief of corps becomes vacant, tho place
may be filled by selection from the corps
in which the vacancy exists.
THE NAVY.
The report of the Secretary of the
Navy shows an improvement in the
number aDd efficiency of the naval force,
without material increase in the ex
pense of supporting it. This is due to
the policy which has been adopted and
is being extended as fast as our mate
rial will admit of using smaller vessels
and cruisers on the several stations.
By this means we have been enabled
to occupy at once a larger extent of
cruising—to visit more frequently the
posts where the presence of our flag is
desirable, and generally to discharge
more efficiently the appropriate duties
of the navy in time of peace, without
exceeding the number of men or the
expenditure authorized by law.
During the past year the navy has,
in addition to its regular service, sup
plied the men and officers for the ves
sels of the coast survey, and has com
pleted the surveys authorized by Con
gress ot the Isthmuses of Darien and
Tehuantepec, and, under like authority,
has sent out an expedition completely
furnished and equipped, to explore the
unknown ocean of the North. The
suggestions of the report as to the
necessity for increasing andfimproving
the material of the navy, and the plan
recommended for reducing the personnel
of the service to a peace standard, by
the gradual abolition of certain grades
of officers— the reduction of others,
and the employment of some in the
service of the commercial marine, are
well considered and deserve the thought
ful attentioli of Congress.
I also recommend that all promotions
in the navy above the rank of captain,
be by selection instead of by seniority.
This course will secure in the higher
grades greater efficiency, and hold out
an incentive to young officers to im
prove themselves in the knowledge of
their profession. The present cost of
maintaining the navy—its cost com
pared with that. of the past year, and
the estimates for the ensuing year, are
esntained in the accompanying report
of the Secretary of the Navy.
THE POST-OFFICE.
The enlarged receipts of the Post
office Department, as shown by the ac
companying report of the Postmaster
General, exhibit a gratifying increase
in that branch of the public service. It
is the index of the growth of education
and of the prosperity of the people—
two elements highly conducive to the
vigor and stability of republics with a
vast territory like ours, much of it
sparsely populated but all requiring the
services of the mail. It is not, at pres
ent, to be expected that this Depart
ment can be made self-sustaining—but
a gradual approach to this end, from
year to year, is confidently relied on,
and the day is not far distant when the
Postofflce Department of the Govern
ment will prove a much greater blessing
to the whole people than it is now.
The suggestions of the Postmaster
General for improvements in the de
partment presided over by him, are ear
nestly recommended to your special at
tention.
BUYING UP THE WESTERN UNION.
Especially do I recommend favora
ble consideration of the plan for uni
ting system of the Uni
ted States with the postal system. It is
believed that by such a course the cost
of telegraphing could be much reduced
and the service as well, if not better
rendered. It would secure the further
advantage of extending the telegraph
points of the cauutry where private en
terprise will not construct it. Com
merce, trade, and above all, the effort to
bring a people widely seperated into a
community of interest are always ben
efitted by a rapid intercommunication.
Education, the ground work of repuli
can institutions, is encouraged by in
creasing the facilities to gather speedy
news from all part 9 of the country.
The desire to reap the benefit of such
improvements will stimulate education.
I refer you to the report of the Postmas
ter General for full details of the ope
rations of last year, and for full com
parative statements of results with for

THE XU-KLDX.
There has been a paintul duty im
posed upon the Executive branch of the
government in the execution of the act
of Congress, approved April 20, 1871,
and commonly known as the Ku-klux
law, in a portion of the Stato of South
Carolina. The necessity of the course
pursued will be demonstrated by the
report of the committee to investigate
Southern outrages. Under the pro
visions of the above act, I issued a
proclamation calling the attention of
the people of the United States to the
same and declaring my reluctance to
exercise any of the extraordinary
powers thereby conferred upon me, ex
cept in case of imperative duty ; but
making known my purpose to exercise
such powers whenever it should become
necessary to do so, for the purpose of
securing to all citizens of the United
States the peaceful enjoyment of their
rights, guaranteed to them by the con
stitution and the laws.
After the passage of this law, infor
mation was received from time to time
that combinations of the character re
ferred to in this law existed, and were
powerful in many parts of the Southern
States, particularly in certain counties
in the State of South Carolina. Care
ful investigation was made, and it was
ascertained that in nine counties of that
Stale such combinations were active and
powerful—embracing a large portion ol
the citizens —to control the local au-
UiuriUee ami having among other things
the object ot depriving the emancipased
class ot the suostantial benefits of free
dom and ol preventing the free politi
cal action oi those citizens who did not
sympathise with their own views.—
Among their operations were frequent
scourgiugs and occasional assasEina
tioas, generally perpetrated at night by
disguised persons—the victims in al
most ail cases being citizens of different
political sentiments from their own, or
freed persons who had shown a disposi
tiun to claim equal rights with other
citizens. Thousands of inoffensive and
well disposed citizens were the sufferers
by this lawless violence.
Thereupon on the I2th of October,
1871, a proclamation was issued in terms
of the law, calling upon the members of
those combinations to disperse within
five days, and to deliver to the marshal
or miiiiary officers of the United States
all arms, ammunitions, uniforms, dis
guises and other means and implements
used by them for carrying out their un
lawful purposes.
This warning not having been heed
ed, on the 17th of October another proc
lamatlon was issued, suspending the
privileges ot the writ of habeas corpus
in nine counties in that State. Direc
tion was given that within the counties
so designated persons supposed, upon 1
creditable information, to be members.
of such unlawful combinations should
be arrested by the military forces of the
United States and delivered to the Mar
shal to he dealt with according to law.
In two of said counties (York and Spar
tanburg) many arrests have been made.
At the last account the number of per
sons so arrested was one hundred and j
sixty-eight, Several hundred whose j
criminality was ascertained to be of an j
inferior degree were released for the
present. These have generally made j
confessions of their guilt.
Great caution has been exercised in
making these arrests, and notwitetand
ing the large number, it is believed that j
no innocent person is now in custody, j
The prisoners will he held for regular |
trial in the judicial tribunals of the j
United States
As soon as it appeared that the author- j
ities of the United States were about to j
take vigorous measures to enforce the j
law, many persons absconded, and j
there is good ground for supposing that j
all of such persons have violated the I
law. A full report of what has been i
done under this law will be submitted I
to Congress by the Attorney General, j
THE MOKMONB.
In Utah there still remains a remnant j
of barbarism repugnant to civilization, |
to decency and to the laws of the Uni- |
ted States. Efficient officers, however, j
have been found who are willing to per- j
form their duty in a spirit ol equity and |
with a due sense of sustaining the ma- ;
jeety ot the law. Neither polygamy j
nor any other violation of existing stat- j
utes will be permitted within the terri- J
lory of the United States. It is not j
with the religion of self styled saints |
that we are now dealing, but with their i
practices. They will be protected in I
the worship ol God according to the I
dictates ol their conscience; hut they j
will not be permitted to violate the \
laws under the cloak of religion. It j
may be advisable for Congress to con \
sidor what, in the execution of the laws j
against polygamy, is to be the status of 1
plural wives and their offspring. The |
propriety of Congress passing an en
abling act authorising the territorial
legislature of Utah to legitimate a!! chil- J
dren bora prior to a time fixed in the I
act might be justified by its humanity
to these innocent children. This is a
suggestion only, and not a recommenda
tion.
THE INDIANS.
The policy pursued towards the Indi
ans has resulted favorably so far |
as cau be judged from the limited time :
during which it has been in operation. !
Through the exertions of the policy of
the Board of Cimmissioners, author |
ized by the laws of April 10th, 1870, |
many tribes of Indiana have been in- I
duced to settle the Reservations, to eui- j
tivate the soil, to perform the produc j
tive labor of various kinds, and to par- j
tially accept civilization. They are be- j
ing cared for in such a way, it is hoped, j
as to induce those still pursuing their
old habits of strife to embrace the only
opportunity which is left them to avoid
extermination.
I recommended liberal appropria
tions to carry out the Indian peace pol
icy, not only because it is humane,
Christain like and economical, but be
cause it is right. I recommend to your
favorable consideration, also, the policy
of granting a territorial government to
the Indians in the Indian Territory
Weal of Arkansas and Missouri, and
South of Kansas. In doing so, every
right guaranteed to the Indians by trea
ty should be secured. Such a course
might, in time, be the means of collec
ting most of the Indians now between
the Missouri and the Pacific and south
of the British Possessions, into one ter
ritory, or one State. The Secretary of (
the Interior has treated upon th ; s sub- .
ject at length, and I recommend to you I
his suggestions.
THE PUBLIC LANDS.
I renew my recommendation that the !
public lands be regarded as a heritage
to our children to be disposed of only
as required for occupation and to actu
al settlers. Those already granted have
been, in great part, disposed of in such
a way as to secure access to the balance
by the hardy settler who may wish to j
avail himself of them; but caution should
be exercised even in obtaining so desi
rable an end. Educational interests
may well be served by these grants of
the proceeds of the sale of public lands
to settlers. Ido not wish to be under- i
stood as recommending, in the least
degree, the curtailment ol what is being
done by the general government for the
encouragement of education.
BECKETAHY OF THE INTERIOR.
The report of the Secretary of the
Interior submitted with this, will give
you all the information collected and
prepared for publication in regard to
the census taken during the year 1870—
the operation of the Bureau *f Educa
tion for the year—the patent office—the
pension office—the land office and In
dian bureau. The report of the Com
missioner of Agriculture gives the ope
rations of his department for the year.
As agriculture is the ground-work of
our prosperity, too much importance
cannot be attached to the labors of this
department. It is in the hands of an ,
able head—with able assistance—all j
zealously devoted to introducing to the I
agricultural productions of this nation, .
all useful products adapted to any of the I
various climates and soils of our vast
territory, and to giving all useful infor
mation as to the method of cultivation
of the plants, cereals and other products
adapted to particular localities. Qui
: etly, but surely, the Agricultural Bu
! reau is working a great good, and if
liberally supported, the more widely its
influence will be extended and the less j
dependent we shall be upon the pro
ducts of foreign countries. The subject
of compensation to the heads of Bureaus
and officials holding positions of re
sponsibility, requiring ability and char
acter to fill properly, is one to which
your attention is invited. But few of
the officials receive a compensation
I equal to the responsible support of a
I family, while their duties Rre such as to
involve millions of interest. In private
’ life services demand compensation
| equal to services rendered. A wise ;
| economy would dictate the same rule in
the Government service.
THE CIVIL TEST.
1 have not given the estimates for the j
support of the Government for the
ensuing year, nor the comparative
statement between the expenditures for
the year just past and the one just j
preceding, because all these figures are j
contained in the accompanying reports,
or iu those presented directly to Con
gress. These estimates have my ap
proval.
REMOVAL OF DISABILITIES.
More than six years have elapsed j
since the last hostile gun was fired be
tween the armies then arrayed against
each other —one for the perpetuation
and the other for the destruction of the
Union,it may be well considered wheth
er it is not now time that the disa
bility imposed by the fourteenth amend
ment should be released. The amend
ment does not include the ballot, but
only imposes the inability to hold offices
upon certain classes. When the purity
of the ballot is secure majorities are
sure to elect officers reflecting the
views of the majority. I don’t see the
advantage or propriety of excluding
men from office merely because they
were, before the rebellion, of standing
and chaiacter sufficient to be elected to
positions requiring them to lake an
oath to support the Constitution, ana
admitting to eligibility those entertain
ing precisely the same views, but of
less standing in their communities.
It may be said that the former viola
ted an oath, while the latter did not.
The latter did not have it in his power
to do so. If they had taken that oath,
it cannot be doubted they would have
broken it, as did the former class. If
there are any great criminals distin
guished above all others for the part
they took in opposition to the Govern
ment, they might in the judgment of
Congress, be excluded from sucL an
amnesty. This subject is submitted for
your careful consideration.
THE SOUTH IN A BAD FIX
The condition of the Southern States
is unhappily not such as all true patri
otic citizens would like to see. Local
ostracism for opinion’s sake—personal
violence, or threats towards persons
entertaining political views opposed to j
those entertained by the majority of the
old citizens, prevents emigration and
the flow of much needed capital into
the States lately in rebellion. It will be
a happy condition of the country when
the old citizens of these States will take j
an interest in public affairs—vote for I
men representing these views, and
tolerate the same froedom of expres
sion and ballot in those entertaining
different political convictions.
DISTRICT OK COLUMBIA.
Under the prov'sious of the act of
Congress, approved February 31st,
1871, a territorial government was or
ganized in the District of Columbia.
Its results, thus far, have fully realized
the expectations of its advocates. Un
der the direction of the Territorial offi
cers, a system of improvements has
been inaugurated by means of which
Washington is rapidly becoming a city
worthy of the nation’s capital. The
citizens of the District, having volun
tarily taxed themselves to a large
amount for the purpose of contributing
to the advancement of the ssat of gov
ernment, I recommend liberal appro
priations on the part of Congress, in
order that the Government bear its just
share of expenses ol carrying out a ju
dicious system of improvements.
CHICAGO FIRE.
By the great fire in Chicago, the most
important of the Government buildings
in that city were consumed. Those
burned had already became inadequate
to the wants of the Government in that
growing city, and looking to the near
future were totally inadequate. I rec
ommend, therefore, that appropriation
be made immediately to purchase the
remainder of the square on which the
burned buddings stood, provided it can
be purchased at a fair valuation, or pro
vided the Legislature of Illinois will
pass a law authorizing its condemnation
for Government purposes; and, also,
an appropriation of as much money as
can properly be expended, towards the
erection of new buildings during this
fiscal year.
PROTECTING OF IMMIGRANTS.
The number of immigrants ignorant
of our laws, habits, etc., coming to our
country annually ha 9 become so great
and the impositions practised upon
them so numerous and flagrant, that I
suggest Congressional action for their
protection. It Beems to me a fair sub
ject of legislation by Congress. I can
not now state as fully as 1 desire the
nature of the complaints made by immi
grants of the treatment they receive,
but will endeavor to do so during the
session of Congress, particularly ii the
subject should receive your attention.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
It has been itio aun of the Adininis
tration to enforce honesty and effieien
cy in all public officers. Every public
servant who has violated the trust
placed in him has been proceeded
against with all the vigor of tho law.
If had men have secured places, it has
been the fault of the system established
by law and custom for making appoint
ments, or the fault of those who recoin
mend for Government positions persons
not sufficiently well known to them
personally, or who give letters endors
ing the characters of office seekers with
out a proper sense of the grave respon
sibility which such a course devolves
upon them A civil service roform,
which cau correct this abuse, is much
desired.
In mercantile pursuits the business
man who gives a letter of recommenda
tion to a friend to enable him to obtain
credit from a stranger, is regarded mor
ally responsible for the integrity of his
friend and his ability to meet his obli
gations. A reformatory law which
would enforce this principal against all
endorsers of persons for public places
would ensure great caution in making
recommendations. A salutary lesson has
been taught tho careless and dishonest
public servants in the great number of
prosecutions and convictions of the last
two years. It Is gratifying to notice
the favorable change which is taking
place thoughout the country in bringing
to punishment those who have proven
recreant to the trusts confided to them,
and elevating to public office none'but
those who possess the confidence of the
honest and virtuous, wh'o, it will always
be found, comprise the majority of the
community in which they live.
In my message to Congress one year
ago, I urgently recommended a reform
in the civil service of tho country.
In conformity with that recommenda
tion Congress, in the ninth section of
the act making appropriations for sun
dry civil expenses of the Government,
and for other purposes, approved March
3,1871, gave the necessary authority
t to the Executive to inaugurare a civil
service reform, and placed upon him
the responsibility of doing so.
Under the authority of said act, I
convened a board of gentleman emi
nently qualified for tho work, to devise
rules and regulations to effect the need
ed reform. Their labors are not yet
complete, but it is believed that thev
will succeed in devising a plan which
can be adopted to the great relief of the
Executive, the heads of departments
and members of Congress, and which
will redound to the true interest of pub
lic services. At all events the experi
ment shall have a fair trial
I have thus hastily summed up the
operations of the Government during
the last year, and made such sugges
! tions as occur to me to be proper for
| your consideration. I submit them
! with confidence that your combined
j action will be wise, statesman like and
: in the best interest of the whole country.
