\Cnhtinu hi from C,s 1#( Page.] porty of the (Hnton through which they pass and pay toll to thorns Stale*. Would it Hot be wine statesmanship to pledge these Htates tlmt they will open these ennuis for the passage of large vessels. Tins Goners] Government will look after and keep in navigable condition the great public high 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.
