Government will look after and keep in

ways with which they connect, touit: Tins
overslaugh on tile Hudson, tile St. ('lair
flats and the Illinois and Mississippi riv
ers. This would he a national wotK, one
of great Valins to the producers of the
West and South in giving them cheap
transportation for their ]K>rdnoe to the
aeuboanl and a market to the computers in
the East in giving them cheaper food,
particularly of those articles of food which
do not Hud a foreign market and the pri
ces of which therefore ore not regulated
liv foreign demands. The advantages of
such a work are too obvious for argument.
I submit the subject to you, therefore,
without further comment, in attempting
to regain our lost commerce and carrying
trade I liavo heretofore called attention to
the Htates south of us offering n field where
much might Ire accomplished. To further
this object I suggest that a small appropri
ation be made, accompanied with authority
for the Secretary of the Navy to tit out a
naval vessel to ascend the Amazon river to
the mouth of the Mnderio, thence to ex
plore that river and its tributaries into
Bolivia and to report to Congress at its
fiext sosHsiou, or as soon as practicable,the
accessibility of the country by water, its
resources and the % population so reached.
Hitch an exploration will cost but little. It
can do no harm and may result in estab
lishing a trade of value to both nations.
In further connection with the Treasury
Department I would recommend a revis
ion mid codification of the tariff laws and
the opening of more mints for coining
money with authority, olid coin for such
nrtions os may apply.
WAR DEPARTMENT.
The attention of Congress is invited to
the recommendation contained in the re
port of tho Secretary of War herewith ue
o impunying. The apparent cost of sup
porting the army is fully explained by this
re|Krt and t hope will receive your at
tention. While inviting your general at
tention to all the recommendations made by
tlie Secretary of War, there are two which
1 would especially invite you to consider:
first, the importance of preparing for war
in time of peace by providing proper ar
mament for our sea coast defences. Prop
er armament is of vastly more importance
than fortifications. The letter can lie sup
plied very speedily for temporary purpo
ses when needed. The former cannot.
Tho second is the necessity of reopening
promotion iu the staff corps of the army.
Particularly Ik this necessity Mt in the
medical, pay and ordinance departments.
At. this time it is necessary to employ
contract surgeons tosupply the necessary
Helical attendance required by the army.
Willi the present force of the l’ay Deport
ment it is now difficult to make the pay
ments to troops provided for by law.
Dong delays in payments are productive of
desertions and other demoralization, ami
tho law prohibits the payment of troops
by other than regular paymasters. There
are sixteen vacancies in the Ordnance De
portment, thus leaving that branch of tho
service without sufficient officers to oou
duet tho business of the different arsenals
ou a large scale if ever required.
NATE DEPARTMENT.
During tlm jiiiat year our navy lion been
<l, plotoil by the sale of some vessels uo
longer fit for naval service and l>v eonclem
ji ition of others not yet disposed of. This,
however, has been more than lamipousatej
for by the repair of six of tlie old wooden
ships and the building of eight new sloops
of war authorized by the last Congress. The
building of these latter has occurred at a
doubly fortunate time. They are about
beingVompleted at a time when they may
possibly be much needed aud the work
upon them Ims not only given direct em
ployment to thousands of men, but has no
doubt been the means of keeping open
establishments for other work at n time of
great financial distress. Hinco the com
mencement of thn last month, however,
tho distressing occurrence which have ta
ken place iu the Tutors of tlie Caribbean
sea, almost on our very seaboard, while
they illustrate most forcibly the necessity
always existing that a nation situated like
ours should maintain in a state of possi
ble efficiency a navy adequate to its res
ponsibilities, has at the same time demand
ed that the effective force we really have
shall be put in immediate readiness for
Warlike si rvic.o. This Ims been and is be-
ing done promptly aud effectively, aud 1
urn assured that nil the available, ships and
every authorized man of the American
navy will be ready for whatever action is
required for the safety of our citizens or
the nmintaimuioe of our honor. This, of
course, will require tho expenditure iua
short time of some of the appropriations
which were calculated to extend through
the fiscal year. But Congress will, no
doubt, not understand and appreciate the
emergency, und will provide adequately,
not only for the present preparation, but
for the future maintenance of our naval
force. The Secretary of the Navy has,
during the past year, been quietly putting
some of our most effective monitors in con
dition for service, and thus the exigency
finds us in a much hotter condition for
work than we could posibly have been
without his action.
POST OFFICE BEPAUTMEKT.
A complete exhibit ia presented in the
accompanying report of the Postmaster
( tenoral of the Operations of the Post Of
tlee Department during the year. The
ordinary postal revenues for the fiscal year
ending .Tune 80th, 1878, amounted to
382,9185,741 51, and the expenditures of all
kinds to 329,981,910 (57. The inereaso of
revenues over 1872, was 31,081,315 20. and
the iiiecease of expenditures 82,02(5,753 30
Indcfiemhitit of payments made from
special appropriations for mail steamship
lines the amount drawn from the (ieneral
Treasury to meet deticifmeies, was 35,2(55,-
1 ,5. The constant ami rapid extension of
our postal service, particularly upon rail
ways and the improved facilities for the
collection, transmission, distribution and
delivery of the mails which are constantly
being provided, account for the increased
expenditures of this popular branch of the
public service. The total number of post
offices in operation on June 30th, 1873,
was 33,241, a net inereaso of 1,381 over
the number reported the preceding year.
The number of Presidential offices' was
1,353, an increase of 1(53 during the year.
The length of railroad mail routes at the
close of the year was 63,457 miles, an in
crease of 5,546 miles over the year 1872.
Fifty nine railway post office lines were in
operation on tire 30th of June, 1873, ex
tending over 11,8(50 miles of railroad
routes, aud performing an aggregate ser-1
vice of 31,925 miles daily. 'Hie number
of letters exchanged with foreign countries
was 27,456,185, an increase of 3,090,(585
over the previous year, anil the postage
thereon amounted to 32,021,310 80. The
total weight of eorrespoudeuee exchanged
in the mails with European countries ex
Jeeded 912 tons, an increase of 92 tons
ver the previous year. The total eost of i
•je United States oeeim mail steamship
service, including 3725,030 paid from speo
■ J appropriations to subsidized lines of
aail st’Aimers, way 31,017,271 35. New!
! additional postal conventions have been
! concluded with Sweden, Norway, Belgium.
(fennany, Canada, New Fouiidlanu and
i Japan, reducing the postage rates on cor-;
I rcspondeiicc exchange with those conn- !
i tries, and further efforts have been made i
I to conclude h satisfactory postal eonven |
! lion with France, but without success. I
] invite the favorable consideration of Cion- :
gross to the suggestions and recommenda
tions of the Postmaster General for an j
extension of the free delivery system in (
all cities having a population of not less 1
than ten thousand for-the prepayment of
postage ou newspapers ami other printed
matter of the second class, for u uniform ;
weight on miscellaneous matter, for ad
justing the composition of all postmasters
not appointed by the President by the old
method of commissions on actual receipts
of the office, instead of the present mode
of fixing the salary in advance upon spec
ial returns, and especially do I urge favor- j
able action by Congress on the important
recommendations of the Postmaster Gen
eral for the establishment of United States
Postal Havings Depositories. Your atten
tion is also again called to a consideration
of the question of piwtid telegraphs, ami
the arguments in support thereof, in the;
hope tlmt you may take such action in con
nection therewith as iu your judgment
will most contribute to the best interests
of tlio country.
DEI'AIITMKNT op justice.
Affairs in Utah require your early and
special attention. The Supreme Court of
| the United Htates in tho ease of Clinton vs.
; Englebreeht, decided tlmt the United
j States Marshal of that territory could not
I lawfully summon jurors for tho District
| Courts, and those courts hold that the
! territorial Marshal cannot lawfully perform
I that duty because he is elected by the Leg
; islative Assembly, arid not appointed as
j provided for in the act organizing the ter-
I ritory. All are practically abolished by
: those decisions, and there have been hut
‘ few or no jury trials in the District Courts
I of that territory since tho lust session of
; Congress. Property is left without pro
; teetion by the courts, and crimes go un
| punished. To prevent anarchy there it is
absolutely necessary tlmt Congreas provide
the courts with some mode of obtaining
jurors, and I recommend legislation to
that end, und also that the probable courts
of tho territory, now assuming to issue
writs of injunction and habeas corpus, and
to try criminal eases and questions us to
land titles be denied all jurisdiction not
possessed ordinarily by courts of that de
: scription.
1 have become impressed w ith the belief
; tlmt the act, approved March 2nd, 1807,
■entitled an act to establish a uniform svs-
tom of bankruptcy throughout the United
States is productive of more evil than good
at this time. Many considerations might
ho urged for its total repeal, but if tin's is
not considered advisable, 1 think it would
not he seriously questioned that those por
tions of said act providing for what is
called involuntary bankruptcy operate to
increase the financial embarrassments of
the country. Careful and prudent men
very often Loeome involved in debt in the
transaction of their business, and though
they may possess ample property, if it
could be made available for that, purpose
to meet their liabilities, yet on account of
the extraordinary scarcity of money they
may be unable to meet ull their pecuniary
obligations as they become due, in conse
quence tif which they arc liable to be pros
trated in their business by proceedings in
bankruptcy at the instance of unrelenting
creditors. People are now so easily
alarmed as to monetary matters that the
mere filing of u petition iu bankruptcy by
iui unfriendly creditor will necessarily
embarrass and oftentimes accomplish the
financial ruin of a responsible business
man. Those who otherwise might make
lawful and just arrangements to relieve
themselves from difficulties produced by
the present stringency iu money are pre
vented by their constant expoamv to attack
and disappointment by proceedings against
them in bankruptcy, and besides the law
is made use of in many cases by obdurate
creditors to frighten or force debtors into
a compliance with their wishes and into
nets of injustice to other creditors and to
themselves. 1 recommend that so touch
of said net us provides for involuntary
bankruptcy on account of tho suspension
of payment be repealed.
Your careful attention is invited to the
subject of claims against the government
aud the facilities afforded by existing laws
for tlieir prosecution. Each of tho deport
ments of the State, Treasury and War
have demands for many millions of dollars
upon their files and they are rapidly ac
cumulating. To those may be. added those
now pending before (.'engross, the Court
of Claims and the Southern Claims Com
mission, making in the aggregate an im
mense sum. Most of these grew out of
the rebellion and are intended to in
demnify persons on both sides for their
losses during the war, and not a few of
them are fabricated and supported ley false
testimony. Projects are on foot, it is be
lieved, to induce Congress to provide for
new classes of claims and to revive old
ones, through the repeal or modification
of the statute of limitations by which
they are now barred. I presume these
schemes if proposed will be received with
little favor by Congress, and 1 recommend
that persons having claims against the
| United States cognizable by any tribunal
; or department thereof, be required to pre
' sent them at an early day, and that legisla
! tion l>e directed as far as practicable to
defeat unfounded and unjust demands
upon the government, ami l would sug
gest, as a means of preventing fraud, that
witnesses lie called upon to appear in per
son and testify before those' tribunals hav
i iug said claim before them for adjudica
tion. Probably the largest saving to the
National Treasury can he secured by timely
legislation on those subjects of any of the
economic measures that will be proposed.
You will be advised of the operations of
the department of justice by the report of
the Attornoy-t ioneml, aud 1 invite your
attention to the amendments of existing
i laws suggested by him with the view of
reducing the expenses of that department.
OTHER DEI* AKTMENTX ASP BUREAUS.
The policy inaugurated towaxds the In
dians at tin' beginning of the last Adminis
tration lias been steadily pursued, aud, l
j believe, with beneficial results. It will be
! e mtiuued with only sik'h modifications as
time and experience may demonstrate as
i necessary. With the encroachment of
j civilization upon the Indian reservations
and hunting grounds, disturbances have
taken place between the Indians and
| whites during the past year, and probably
i will continue to do so until each race ap
preciable that the other has rights which
i must be respected. The policy has been
to collect the Indians as rapidly as pos
sible on reservations, and as far as practi
! cable within what is known as the Indian
Territory, and to teach them the arts of
civilization and self-support. Where found
off their reservations, and endangering the
peace and safety of the whites, they have
been punished, and will continue to be for
I like offenses. The Indian Territory south
of Kansas and west of Arkansas is suf
ficient in area and agricultural resources to
| support all the Indians east of the Roekv
Mountains. In time, no doubt, all of
them, except a few who may select to
[make their homos among the white people,
'will be Collected there. Asa preparatory
sb'ii for this consummation, lain now sati •
tied that territorial form of government
should be given them, which will secure
the treaty rights of the original settlers,
and protect their homesteads from aliena
tion for a period of twelve years.
The operations of the Patent Office are
growing to such magnitude, and the ac
cumulation of material is becoming so
great tlmt the necessity for more room is
becoming more obvious day by day. I re
spectfully invite your attention to the re
ports of the Secretary of the Interior and
Commissioner of Patents on this subject.
The business of the General Land Office
exhibited a materinl increase in all its
branches during the lust fiscal year. Dur
ing tlmt time there were disposed of out
of the public lands 1.8,030,00(1 acres, being
mi amount greater by 11,056,310 acres
than W'us disposed of during the preceding
year. Of tho amount disposed of 1,626,
266 acres were sold for cash; 214,010 acres
were located with military laud warrants;
3,703,612 acres were taken for homesteads;
653,446 acres were located with agricul
tural college scrip; 6,083.536 acres were
certified by railroads; 76,576 acres were
granted to wagon roads; 238,548 acres ap
proved to Whites as swamp lands; 138,681
acres were certified for agricultural col
leges, common schools, universities and
seminaries ; 100,775 acres w ere appropria
ted to the State for internal improvements
and 14,222 acres were located with Indian
scrip. The receipts during the same time
were $8,408,515 50, being 6100,415 50 in
excess of the receipts of the previous year.
30,488,132 acres of public lands were sur
veyed, being an increase over the amount
surveyed the previo%B year of 1,037,193
acres and added to tho area previously sur
veyed aggregates 616.554,805 acres which
have been surveyed, leaving 1,218,443,505
acres of the public land still unsnrveyed.
The increased and steadily increasing fa
cilities for reaching the unoccupied public
domain, and for the transportation of sur
plus products enlarges the available field
for desirable homesteads locations, thus
stimulating settlement and extending year
by year a gradually increasing ratio, the
an a of occupation and cultivation.
The expressed desire of tho representa
tive of a large colony of citizens of Russia
to immigrate to this country as is under
stood, with the consent of the government
if certain concessions can bo n:a le to ena
ble them to settle ina compact colony is
of great interest,us going to show the light
in which onr institutions are regarded by
industrious, intelligent and wealthy peo
ple, desirous of enjoying civil ami religious
liberty, und the acquisition of no large an
immigration of citizens of a superior cluhs
would, with outdoubt, he of substantial
benefit to this country. I invite attention
to the suggestion of the Secretary of the
Interior iu this behalf.
There was paid during tho last fiscal year
for pensions, including the expense of dis
bursement, 829,185.230 62, being an
amount, less by 8784,059 98 than was ex
pended for the same purpose the preeecd
iugyeur. Although t his statement of ex
penditures would indicate a muteriid re
duction in amount compared with the
proceeding vear, it is believed that the
changes in the pension laws, at the last
session of Congress will absorb that amount
the current year. At the close of the lost
fiscal verr there were on the pension rolls
99,391 invalid military pensioners and
112,088 widows, orphans and dependent
relations of deceased soldiers, making a
total of that clais of 211,892; 18,266 sur
vivors of fhe. war of 1812, anil 5,953 wid
ows of soldiers of that war pensioned un
der the act of Congress of Februrury 14,
1871, making a total of that class of 23,-
319; 1,430 invalid navy pensioners and
1,770 widows, orphans and dependent re
lations of deceased officers, sailors and
marines of the navy, making a total of
navy pensioners of 3,290; and a grand to
tal of pensioners of alt classes of 238,411:
showing a net increase during the last
fiscal year of 6,182. During the lust year
the names of 16,495 pensioners were added
to the rolls and 10,223 names were dropped
therefrom for various causes.
The system adopted for the detection of
fvan.ls against the government in the mat
ter of pensioners has been productive of
satisfactory results, but legislation is
needed to provide, if possible, against the
perpetration of such frauds in future.
The evidently increasing interest in the
cause of education is a most'encouraging
feature iultlie general progress aiiil pros
perity of the country, and tl ■ Bureau of
Education is earnest iu its efforts to give
people detection to the new appliances aud
the increased facilities which are being
offered to aid the educators of the country
in their great work.
CENSUS RECOMMENDATION.
The ninth census lnvs been completed,
and the report thereof published and dis
tributed and the working force of the
Bureau disbanded.
The Secretary of the Interior renews his
recommendations for a census to be taken
in 1875 to which subje ct the attention of
Congress is invited. Tho original sugges
tion in that behalf Ims met with the gen
eral approval of the country, and even if it
be not ilcrim'd advisable at present to pro
vide for aj regular quinqrimiial census, a
census taken in 1875, the report of which
could be completed and published before
the one hundredth anniversary of our na
tional independence, would be especially
interesting and valuable, as showing tho
progress of the country during the first
century of our national existence. It is
believed, however, that a regular census
every five years would he of substantial
benefit to tho country inasmuch as our
growth hitherto lias been so rapid that the
results of the decennial census are neces
sarily unreliable as a busisof estimates for
the latter years of a decennial period.
IIISTIUI'T OF COLUXtWA.
Under the very efficient management if
the (Inventor and the Board of Rub ie
Works ot this District, the City of Wash
ington is rapidly assuming the appearance
of a capital of which the nation may well
be proud. From being a most unsightly
place three years ago, disagreeable to pass
through in summer in consequence of die
dust arising from unpuved streets, and al
most impassable in the winter from the
mud it is now one of the most sightly
cities in the country and can boast of being
the best paved. The work has been done
systematically, the plans, grades, location
of sewers, water aud gas mains being de
termined upon before the work was com
menced—-thus securing permanency w hen
completed. I questioned whether so much
has ever been accomplished before in any
American city for the same expenditures.
The government having large reservations
in the city and the nation at largo having
an interest iu their capital. I recommend a
liberal policy towards the District of Co
lumbia, and that the government should
bear its just share of the expenses of these
improvements. Every citizen visiting the
Capital feels a pride in its growing beauty,
and that ho too is part owner in the invest
ments made here. I would suggest to
Congress the propriety of promoting the
establishment in this District of an institu
tion of learning, or university of the
highest class, by the domination of lauds.
There is no place better suited for such an
institution than the National Capital.
There is no tlier place in which every
citizen is so directly interested.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
In three successive messages to Con cress
1 have called attention to tho subject of
Civil Service Reform. Action has been
taken so far as to authorize tho appoint
ment of a boaid to devil rales g< veiling
methods of making appointments and
promotions, but there never lias been any
action making these rules or any rales
binding or even entitled to observance
w here persons desire the appointment of a
friend or the removal of an official who
may be disagreeable to them. To have
any rules effective they roust lmve the ac
quiescnce of Congress as well ns of the
Executive. I commend, therefore, the
subject to your attention, and suggest that
a special committee of Congress might con
fer with tho Civil Service Board during
the present session for the purpose of de
vising such rules ns can be maintained,
and which will secure the service of honest
and capable officials, and which will also
protect them iu a degree of independence
while in office. Proper rules will protect
Congress as well as tho Executive from
nun’ll needless persecution, and will prove
of grout value to the public at lurgo.
COLORADO.
I would recommend for your favorable
consideration the passage of an enabling
act for the admittance of Colorado as a State
in the Union. It possesses all the ele
ments of a prosperous State, agricultiml
and financial, and I believe has a popula
tion now to justify such admission. In
connection with this, I would also recom
mend the encouragement of a canal for the
purposes of irrigation, from the eastern
slope of the Rocky Mountains to the Mis
souri River. Asa rale, I am opposed to
further donation‘of public lands for internal
improvements owned and controlled by
private corporations, but in this instance
I would make an exception. Between the
Missouri River and the Rooky Mountains
there is an arid belt of public land from
three hundred to five hundred miles in
width, perfectly valueless for the occupa
tion of man for the want of sufficient rain
to secure the growth of any products. An
irrigating canal would make productive a
belt ns wide as the supply of water could
be made to spread over across this entire
country, ami would secure a cordon of set
tlements connecting the present population
of the mountain and mining regions with
that of tho older Slates. All the land re
claimed would be clear gain. If alternate
sections are retained by the government, I
would suggest that the retained sections
be thrown open to entry under the home
stead laws, or sold to actual settlers for a
very low juice.
OENERAT, AMNESTY.
I renew my previous recommendation
to Congress for general amnesty. The
number engaged in the lute rebellion yet
laboring under disabilities is very small,
but enough to keep up a constant irrita
tion. No possible danger can accrue to
the government by restoring them to eli
gibility to hold office.
CIVIE RIGHTS.
1 suggest for your consideration tho en
actment of a law to better secure the civil
lights which freedom should secure, but
has not effectually secured to the fran
chised slave. U. H. Grant.
