I will not now sag geat plana by which this object may be effected, But will, if necessary, make it the subject of a apeci ah message during the session of Cone grew. At the March term, Congress, by joint reso lution, authorised the Executive to order elec tions in the States of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas, to submit to them the constitutions aither entire or in s- --parnte parts, to be voted apon at the discretion of the Executive, and mder hi* authority. The elections were call* #d. In Virginia, the election took place on the ®th of July. A Governor and Lieutenant Governor were elected and have been installed. The Legislature met and did all required by this resolution and by all the reconstruction acts of Congress, and abstained from all doubtful authority. I recommend that her Senators and Representatives bo promptly ad mitted to their seats, and that the Stato be fully restored to its place in the family of Btatea. Elections were called in Mississippi and Texas to commence on the 30th of Novem ber—two dnys in Mississippi and four days in Texas. The election* hove tnken place, but ♦he result is nut yet known. It is hoped that the acte of the Legislatures of these States, when they meet, will be such ns to re ceive your approval, and thus close the work of reconstruction. Among tbe evils growing out of the rebel lion, and not yet referred to, is thnt of an irre deemable currency. It is an evil which I hope will receive your most earnest attention. It is a duty, and one of the highest duties of the Government, to secure to the oitizens a medi um of exchange of a fixed and unvarying val «e. Thie implies a return to a specie basis, and no substitute for it can be devised. It should be commenced now, and reached at the earliest practicable moment consistent with a fair regard to tho interests of the debtor class. Immediate resumption, if practicable, would not be desired. It would compel tbe debtor class to pay beyond their contracts, a premium on gold at the date of their purchase, and would bring bankruptcy and ruin to thousands. The fluctuations, however, in pnper value of the measure of all values, gold, is detrimental to the interests of trade. It makes the man of business an involuntary gnmbler, for in all •ales where future payment is to be mnde, both parties speculate as to what will be of the currency to he paid and re- to you, thru, ■Hueuri- n gradual j. 111 r 11; f "’■ 1 " ; "'T' pot no 1. >ti n -'.lp value of. tho 1-u'rji n- SV..-« , * ll! i" rn "' r "i a« speculators on tho latter there and that is to authorize tho to redeem its paper at a fixrd prieo 'Whenever presented, and to withhold from cir vmUtion all currency so redeemed until gold •M 4 again for gold. The vast resources of tINT * n »lion, both developed and undeveloped, ought to make our credit the best on earth, with a ■ the oitixen lias he entire public *, but it is not uld be taxed to year our ability ratio, hut the reduced as rap. •ion of the eon presented in a m five to twon ssar■ - to run, bearing interest at the rate of six and five percent, ro apeetively. It is optional with the Govern ment to pay these bonds at any period after expiration of the least time mentioned upon their faoe. The time has already expired when the great part may bo taken up, and is rapidly approaohing when all may be. It is believed that all which are now due may be replaced by bonds bearing a rnto of interest not exceeding four and a half per oent., and ns rapidly as the remainder becomes due, tlmt they may be'replaced in tho same way. To 110- oomplish this, it mny bo necessary to authorize intorcst to be paid at either of the three or four of the money centres of Europe, or by any assistant Treasurer of the Unitod States at the option of the holder of the bonds. I suggest this subject for tbe consideration of Congress, and also simultaneously with this, the propriety of reducing our currency, ns before suggested, nt its market vuluo at tho time the law goes into effect, increasing tho rate at whioh the currency will be bought and Bold from dsy to day or week to week ot the Ktmo rate of interest as the government pays its bonds. The subject of a tariff and renewal of taxa tion will necessarily receive your attention. The reveoueeof the country are greeter than its requirement* and inoy with safety bo reduced, but as the funding of tbe debt in a four and n half per cent, loan would reduce the annual eurrent expenses largely thereafter, funding justifying a greater reduction of taxation than would be now expedient. I suggest a post ponement of this quostion until the next meeting cf Congress. It mny be advisable to modify taxation and tbe tariff in instances where unjust or burdensome discriminations are made by the present law, but a general revision of tho laws regulating this sutject recommend a postponement of it for tho pres ent. 1 also suggest a renewal of the tax on income*, but at a reduced rate, say throe per oent. and this tax to expire in three year*. Wish tbe funding of the National debt as hero xuggasta], I f M I safe in eayiug that the taxes and revenue from import# may be reduced safely from sixty to eighty millions per annum at onoe, and may be still further reduced from year to year as the resources of the country are developed. **•*»«, The inter-oceanic canal, to connect the At lantic and Pacific oceans through the Isthmus of Dari is one in which commerce is greatly interests Instructions were given our Min ister to the United States of Columbia to en deavor to obtain authority for a survey to de termine the practicability of the undertaking. In oix„ r Ui comply with the agreement of the United States as to a mixed commission at Lima for the adjustment of the claims, it be came necessary to send a Commissioner and Secretary to Lima. The good offices of the United States to bring ahout peace between Spain and the South American Republics having been ac cepted by Spain, Peru and Chili, a Congress has been invited to be held at Washington du ring the present winter. A grant has been given to Europeans of an exclusive right ol transit over the Territory of Niearaoga to which Costa Rica has given its assent, which it is alleged conflicts with the vested rights of citisens of the United States. The Department of State has now this subject under consideration. The Minister of Peru having made repres entations that there wns n state of war between Peru and Spain, and that Spain was construct ing in and near New York thirty gunboats which might be used by Spain to relieve the naval force nt Cuba to operate against Peru, orders were given to prevent their departure. No further steps have been tnken by the rep resentative of the Peruvian Government to prevent tho departure of these vessels, and I not feeling authorized to detain tho prop erty of a nation with which wc are nt peace on a mere executive order, the matter was refer red to the courts. The conduct iif the war botwoen the ullios and the Republic of Paraguay has made inter course with that country difficult, and it has been deemed advisable to withdraw our rep resentative from there. Towards the close of the last administration, a conrentioo was signed at London for the settlement of outstanding claims between Groat Britain and the United States, whioh failed to receive the advico and consent of the Senate. TIIO time and circuinstnnees attend ing the negotiation of that treaty were unfavor able to its acceptance by the people of the United States, and its provisions were wholly inadequate for tho settlement of the grove wrongs sustained by this Government. Inju ries resulting to the United States by reason of the course adopted by Great Britian during tho war, increased tho rates of insurance, in tho diminution of exports and imports, and other obstructions to domustio industry nud production, in its effect upon tho foreign com merce of tho country, inadecreaso and trans fer to Great Britian of our commercial marine, the prolougatioa of tho war and increased coat both in treasure and in lives, and of its suppression, could not be adjusted and satisfied as ordinary commercial claims which continu ally arise ttetweon commercial nations. And yet the Convention treated them simply as such ordinary claims, from which they differ more widoly in tho gravity of their character than in the magnitude of their amount. Great oven us is that difference, not a word was found'n the treaty, and not an inference could be drawn from it to remove tho senso of unfriendliness of tho courao of Great Britian ia our struggle for redress, which has so deep ly and universally impressed itself upon tho pooplo of this oountry. Bolieving that a con vention thus misconceived in its scope, and inadequate in its provisions, would not have produoed the healthy, cordial settlement of pending questions, which alone is consistent with tho relations which I desire to have firm ly established between the United Stutas and Groat Britain, I regard tho notion of the Sen ate in rejecting tho treaties to havu boon wise ly tnken in the interest of peace and us a necessary step in the direction of a perfect and cordial friendship between the two countries. A sonsitivo poopln, conscious of their power, are more at ease under a great wrong, wholly undesirable, than under the restraint of a set tlement which satisfies neither their ideas of justice nor their grave sense of tho grievance they havo sustained. Tho rejection of the treaty was followed by n stnte of puhlio feel ing on both sides which I thought not favor able to an immediate nttempt at renew ed negotiations. I accordingly so instructed the minister of the United States to Great Britain, ami found thnt my views in this re gard were shared by Iler Majesty's ministers. I hope that the time mny soon arrive when the two Governments can approach the solu tion of this momentous question with an ap preciation of what is due to the rights, digni ty and honor of each, and with a determina tion net only to remove the causes of com plaint in the past, but to lay the foundation of a broad principle »f public law which will prevent future differences, and tend to a firm and continued peace and friendship. This is now tho only grave question which the United States lias with any foreign nation. The question of renewing the treaty for re ciprocal trade between the United States and tho British Provinces on this continent, is fa vorably considered in conformity with the re commendation of Congress. A proposition to abolish mixed courts for the suppression of the slave trade is under nego tiation. It having come to my knowledge that a cor porate company, organized tinder British laws, proposed to land upon tho shores of the United States, and to operate there a sub marine cable under a concession of the Emperor of the French, of an onotusive right for twenty vears of telegraphic communication between the shores of France and the United States, with the very objectionable feature of subjecting all messages conveyed thereby to the scrutiny and control of the French Government, I caused the French and British Legations at Washing ton to bo made acquainted w ith the probable policy of Congress on this subject as foreshad ! owed by a bill which passed the Senate last . March. This drew from the representatives of ; (he company an agreement to accept a# the ot their operations, the provisions of tbe bill, or such other enactment on tbe subjec%-l might be pa»s<-d during the approaching sessi A of Congress ; also, to use their influence e-jv-i cure from the French Government a-sti r and tioo of their Concession to permit the Ist* 'MI of any coMe belonging to any company ine K porated by authority of the 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 opposition by the United States to the landing of the cable until the meeting of Congress. I regret to say that there has been no modification made in tbe emupn . ny‘s concession, nor so far as I can learn lure they attempted to secure one. Their conces sion excludes the capital and citizens of the United States from compeiition upon the shores of France. I recommend legislation to protect the rights of citizens of the Unitgd States, and the sovereignty of the nation again-t such an assumption. I shall also endeavor to secure by negotiation an abandonment of the prin ciple of monopolies in Ocean Telegraph cables. The unsettled political condition of other coun tries less fortunate than otir own, sometime* induces their citizens to come to the United States for the sole purpose of becoming natur alized. Having secured this, they return to their native country, and reside there. With out disclosing their change of allegiance, they accept official positions of trustor honor, which can only be held by citizens of their na tjjji . lands, under passports describing them as such citizens, and it is only when civil discord, after perhaps years of quiet, threatens their persons or their property, or'when their native State drafts them into its military service, that their change of allegiance ia known. They reside permanently away from tho United States, contribute nothing to its revenues, avoid th* duties of citizenship, and only make thenselvei known by n claim of protection. 1 have di* rected the diplomatic and consular officers ts scrutinize carefully all such clnims of protect tion. , The citizen of the United States, whethr er nativo or adopted, who discharges hisdutj to his country, is entitled to its complete pro tection. While I have a voice in the direction of affairs, I shall not consent to imperil tliiz sacred right tiy conferring it upon fictitious or fraudulent claimants. r Irvitntions have been extended to the Cabi net from London, Paris, Florence, Berlin, Brus sels, tin- Hague, Copenhagen and Sto to empower their representatives at Washing ton to simultaneously enter into negotiation* and to conclude with tho United Slates Con ventions Identical in form, making uniform' regulations as to the construction of parrs o£ vessels to he devoted to the use of the emigrant, passengers, in to quantity and quality of food, ns to the medical treatment of tho sick, and to tho rules to he observed during the voyage, in order to secure ventilation, to promote health, to prevent intrusion, to protect the fee nltts, nnd providing for the establishment 0/ tribu nals in the sevcj-al countries for enforcing suit regulations by summary process. Your attention is respectfully called to ,|We’' law- requiring the tariff on Russian hemp and to the question whether to fix the charges 00’ Russian hemp higher than they are fixed Manilla is nu| a violation of our treaty with Russia, piquing her products upon the sums footing with those of the nn-st favored nations. Our man 11 fact urea are inereu-ing with won derful rapidity under the encouragement w hich they now receive. With thu improvement* in mauinery already effected and still increasing, causing machinery to take tha place of skilled labor to a largo extent, nur imports of many articles must fall off largely within a few years Fortunately, ton, manufactories are not con fined to a few localities as formerly, and it is to be hoped will become more and more dif fused, making the interest in them equal in all sections. They give employment and support to hundreds of thousands *uf people at home, and retain with us the means which otherwise would ho shipped abroad. The extension of the Railroads in Europe and the East arc bring ing into competition with our agricultural pro ducts like products of other countries. Self interest, if not self-preservation, therefore, di rects caution against disturbing any industrial interest of the country. It teaches us also the necessity of looking to other markets for the sale of our surplus. Our neighbors South of us, and Chinn and Japan, should receive our special attention. It will he the endeaver of the administration to cultivate such relations with these nations as to entitle us to theiroonfi denee, and make it their interest as well as ours to establish better commercial relations. Through the ngency of a more enlightened policy than that heretofore pursued towards China, largely due to the sagacity and efforts of one of our own distinguished citizens, the world is about to commence largely increased relations with that populous and hitherto ex clusive nation. As the United States have been the initiators in this new policy, so they should he the most earnest in showing their good faith in making it a success. In this connection I advise such legislation as will forever preclude the enslavement of the Chi nese upon our soil, under the name of Coolies, and also prevent American vessels from en gaging in the transportation ot Coolies to any country tolerating the system. I also recom mend that the mission'to China he raised to one of the first class. Ou my assuming the responsible duties of Chief Magistrate of the United States, it was with the conviction that three things were es sential to its peace, prosperity and fullest de velopment. First among these is strict in tegrity in fulfilling all our obligations. Sec ond : It secures protection to the person and property of the citizen of the United States in each and every portion of nur common country wherever 110 may choose to move, without reference to original nationality, religion, color or polities, demanding of him only obedience to the law sand proper respect for the rights of others. Third: Union of all the States with equal rights, indestructible by any constitu tional means. To secure the first of these, Congress has taken two essential steps ; First: In declaring, by joiut resolution that the pub lie debt altall be paid, principal and interest, in coir., and second, by proridin;; the means for paying. Providing the means, boweyer, con Id not secure the object desired without a prepc r administration of the laws for the col' ’ lec'ion of the reve» u es, and an economical disbursement of them. 'Jf O this subject the administration has most earnestly addressed itself with resulte, I hope, satisfactory to the country. There has been no hesitation in changing officials in order to secure an efficient execution of the laws, sometimes, too, where, in a mere parry view, undesirable political results were likely to follow, nor any hesita tion in sustaining efficient officials against remonstrances wholly political. It may be well to mention liere the embar rassment possible to arise from leaving on the statute books the so-called tenure of office acts, and I earnestly recommend their total repeal. It could not have bo2n the intention of the framers of the Constitution, when providing that appointments made by the President should receive the consent of the Senate, -that the latter should have the power to retain iri office persons placed there by federal appoint ments against ilia will of the President. The law is inconsistent with a faithful and efficient administration of the Government. What faith can an executive put in officials forced upon him. and those too, w hom he suspended for reason? flow will such officials be likely to serve an administration which they know does not trust them ? For the second requisite to our growth and prosperity, time and a firm hut humane ad. ministration of existing laws. They may be ineffective or prove harsh and unneccs-ary, or probably all that arc required. The 3d can not lie attained by special legislation, hut must he regarded as fixed by the constitution itself, and gradually acquiesced in by force of public opinion. From the foundation of the Government to the present, the management of the original inhabitants of this Continent, the Indians has been a subject of embarrassment and expense, and has been attended with continuous rob beries, murders and wars. From my own ex perience upon the frontiers, and in Indian countries, I do not hold either legislation or the conduct of ihe whites who ccitio most in contaet with the Indians, blameless with tlie-e hostilities. ***** The report of the Postmaster General fur nishes a clear and comprehensive exhibit ol the operations of the postal service, and of the financial condition of the PostpfSce I •apart ment. Tho ordinary postal revenues for the year ending theSOth of .June, 1869. amounted to $16,444,510 1 and the expenditures to -:23,. 498,131, Your attention is respectfully called to the recommendation made by the Postmaster General for authority to change the rate of compensation to the main trunk railroad lines for their kervica* in carrying the plait* • for having post route map* executed ; for rcurgan *Wing and increasing the efficiency «f the spe cial agency service ; for inerea-o of tho mail ♦rvicc on the Pacific, and for establishing Snail service under the flag of the Union on lb* Atlantic, and roost especially do 1 call your attention to his recommendation for the total abolition of the franking privilege. This i* an abuse from which (joone receives a e :n --menstirate advantage, It reduce* the roeeipt.- fot' postal Service from 23 to 30 per sent., and largely increases the service to he perform.' 1. During the year ending the ,30th of Sept., bib the Office issued 13,762pn’erits, and it- receipts were 8686,389, being $213,926 more than the expenditures. I would tespecifnlly call.your anemia to the recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior for uniting the duties of supervising the education ol freedmen with the other duties devolving upon the Commissioner of educa tion. If it is the desire of Congress to make the census, which must' he taken during the year 1870, more complete and perfect than heretofore, I would suggest early action upon any plan that may he agreed upon. As Con gress, at the last session, appointed a commit tee to lake into consideration such measures ns might be deemed proper in reference to the census, and to report a plan. I desist from saying more, 1 recommend to your favor..hie consideration the claims of the Agricultural Bureau for lib eral appropriations in u country so diversified in climate and soil as ours, and with a popula tion so largely dependent upon agriculture.— The benefits that can he conferred hy proper ly fostering this Bureau are indispensable. 1 desire, respectfully, to call the attention of Con gross to the inadequate salaries of a num ber of the most important officers of the Gov ernment. In this message I will not enumer ate them, hut will specify only the Justices of the Supreme Court. No change lias been made in their salaries for fifteen years. Within that time the labors of these Courts have largely increased, and the expenses of Hying have at least doubled during the same timo. Congress has twice found it necessary to increase largely the compensation of its own members, and the duty which it owes to another depart ment of the Government deserves, and will undoubtedly receive, due consideration. There are many subjects, not alluded to in this message, which might with propriety ho introduced, but I abstain, believing that your patriotism and statesmanship will the topics and the legislation most conducive to the interests of the whole people. On my part, I promise a rigid adherence to the law and their strict enforcement. U. S. Grant. Washington, P. C., December 6th, 1869. ERROHS or YOITIS.
