OCR INTKP.COTRSR WITH 6PAIN. Our intere)urse with Spain has been friend ly. An agreement concluded in February last fixes a term for the labors of the Spanish and American Claims Commission. Tbe Spanish Government bus been requested to pay the late awards of that commission, and will It is believed, accede to tbe request as promptly -r,d courteously as c.n firmer occasions. By recen' teei-lation onerous fines have been im p sed upon American shipping in Fpanish and c lot. ia: ports for slight irregularities in mani fests. Cue case of h rdship is specially worthy if attention.

The Senate’s resolution of condolence on the *>iassinaiion of the Czar Alexander 11. were a: prot-riately communicated to the Russian Government, which in turn has expressed its vmt aihv in l te national bereavement.

The Swiss Government has again solicited th- g >d office* of our diplomatic and consu lar sg nts for the protection of i's citix-ns in couLtri-s where it is not itself represented. Tbi" requo-J h s. within p'op*‘r limits, been granted c or er*otirag-M it- .Mexican Government to a b nefleial rtaluatmn o the mutual advantages which win reeul from mow intimate com meicial intercourse and from tite opening of tbe rich interior of Men o to a railway enterprise. i deem it important that means be provided to r-.rrsin tbe Uwlessnesr unfortunately so common on t'o frontier, ani to suppress the forays of ihe reservation Indians on either side of the Rio Grande. Ihe neigh-oring Sta'es of Centra* Aff erica have preAcr7rd internal pece. and their out ward rela'iot towardg us have been those of intima’e friet.- sip There are encouraging signs of their disposition to subordmate their local in erests to those which are comm n to them l y reason of their geographical relations The boundary dispute between Guatemala and Mexico has afforded this government an op porturiity to exercise its good effl-es for pre venting a rapu>re between those States and procuring a peaceful s lutjon of the question. I cheri-h a strong hope that in vipwof our re lations of cmity v ith b th countries, our friend Ij sels may prevail. The special envoy of Gua'efbL!* has brought to me the condolences of his govefamo' t and peoole on* the dea'h of President Garfield. Tbe Costa Rican Govern ment lately framed an engagement with Co lombia for settbng by arbitration t*-e boundary question between those countries, providing that the post of arbitrator should be offered successively to the King of the Belgians, the King of Spain, and the President of the Argen tine Confederation. The King of the Belgians ha declined to acr, but I m as yet unadvised of the action of the King of Spain. As we have certain interests in the disputed territory, which are protected by our treaty engagements with one of the parties, it is important that the arbi' rat ion should not. without our coDser.t, affect our rights, and this government has ac cordingly thought proper to make its views known to the parties to the agreement as well as to intimate them to the Belgian and Fpanish Governments. THS PANAMA CANAL. The questions growing out of the proposed mtcr-ccean waterway t cross the Isthmus of lanama are of a grave national importance. This government has not been unmindful of thesolemn obligations imposed upon it hy its compact cf IR4* with C lombia ss tbe indepen dent and sovereign mis'ress of the territory crossed hv the canal, and has sought to render them effective hy fresh engagements with the Colombian republic looking to th-ir r'ac'leal excii'ion. The negotiations to this end. af'er they had reached what appeared to b- a mu tually satiffactory solution here, were met in Colombia by a disavowal of the powers which its envoy has Assumed, and hy a proposal for renewed negotiat'ons on a modified basis. Meacwhde this gov ernment learned that Colombo. had proposed to the European powers to jiln in a guarantee cf the neutrality of the proposed Panama canal, a guarantee which would be in direct contrav-ntion of our obligation as the sole guiranteer of the integrity of Co'ombian territorv and of the neutrality of the ca- a! i'self. My fomented pred-cessor felt it to be his duty to place before tbe Furop-an powers the reasons which make the orio- guarantee of th- United States indispeLsable, and for which the interjection of any fore'gn guarantee might be regarded as a superfluous and un friendly act. Foreseeing the probah’e reliance of the Br' tish Government on the per visions of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty of 1850 a? affording room for a share in the guarantees, which the United States covenanted with Colombia four years before. I have not hesitated to supple ment the action of my predecessor by p-o --pofing to Her Majesty’s Government the modification of that instrument and the ab rogation of such clauses thereof as do not com port with the obligations of the United States toward Colombia, or with the vital needs of the two friendly parties to the compact. THE PERU-CHILI TROUBLE. This government sees with great concern the continuance of hostile relations between Chid. Bolivia and Peru. An early peace between these republics is much to be deir-d, not only that they may themselves be spared further misery and bloodshed, but because their con tinued antagonism threatens consequences which are in mv judgment, dangerous to tha interes-s of republican g vernm-nt on this con tinent and calculated to destroy the best ele ments of our free and peaceful eivi ation. As in the present excited condition of popular feeli; g in thes-countries there has been s rious misapprehension of the position of the United States, and as separate diplomatic intercourse with each, through independent Ministers, is sometimes subject, owing to tho want of prompt reciprocal communication to temp rary tnisundersLandirg. I have de med it judi cious at the present time to seed a special en voy, accredited to ail and each of them, and furnished with general instructions, which will. I trust, enable him to bring these powers into friendly rela’ions. THE VENEZUELAN AWARD. The government of Venk>ropriatiocs for ci- lomaiic r-pre ontatives at Athetsanl at Quiro If seems I expedient to restore tho-e missi ns. even on a reduc-d scale. nb I decidedly recommend that such a course with reapeut to Ecuador, which l* ijkely in the near future to an important part among tbs nations of the Southern Pacific. THE RID CROSS MOVEMENT. At its laat ex'ra session, the Fenate called ;or the text of >he Geneva convention for the relikf uf thg wounded in th** war. I trust that thts action foreshadow* *ach interest in tie subject ss will result in the adbe-1 >n or the United Slates to that humane and commend able enactment. THE NEW CODE OF SIGNALS. I invite your attention to tbe propriety of the adoption of Ihe new code of international ru es qr the prevention of coilfoions on the high sea*, and of conforming the domestic legislation of the United Mate* thereto, so 'hat no confusion may arise from the application of conflicting rules in the case of vessels of diff-rect nations ides meeting in our tidal waters. These international rules and ffer but slightly from pur own. They have been adopt ed by the Navy Department fir the gove n ance of the war ships of the United State3.513.912- 2; forinterest on the public debt, $82,508,'4118; for premium on bonds purchased. $1 011,248 78 Total ordinary expenditures $261.712,887 59. leaving a surplus revenue of 02.069,404 98, which was applied as follows: THE SURPLUS REVENUE.

I XPENSES OF COLLECTION. The expenses of collection for the past year were 41,931,520. an increase of the preceding year of $387,410 04. THE DECREASED VALUE OF IMPORTS. Notwithstanding the increase in the revenue from customs over the preceding year, the gro'S value of the imports, including free good", decreased over twenty live mi lions of do lais The most marked decrease was in the value of unmanufactured wool 4,023.682, and m that o' scrap ■nd pig iron $12,810,671. Tne value of imported sugar, on the other hand, showed an inc ease of $7,457,474; of steel rails. $1,345,521; of arl. y. $2,154,204, and of sleel in bars, ingots, etc., $1,620,046. EXPORTS OF THE YEAR Contrasted with the imports during the fla eal year, the export" were aa follows: Domes tic merchandise $881,923,947: foreign mer chandise 8.451.399. Total. $14,277,316; im p wte of merchandise $6 2,664928. Excess of exports over imp rts of merchandise $259.- 7>2.718. Ag regale of exports and imp; rts, $1,515,041,974. Compared with the previous year tlcre was an increase or $66.739,688 in ihe values of exports of merchandise and a de crease of s2’,-9".118 in tbe value of imports. 9bo annual average of the excess of imports of merchandise over exports (hereof for the t-11 years 1 revions to June *l. 1873, was $104,- 706.922, but for tbe las six years there has be-11 en execs* of export* over Imports of me cliandise amounting to $1.189 668,1(5. ad annual average if $199,778,017, The specie va'ue of the exports of domestic merchandise was $376,616,473 in 1880. and $883,425,947 in 188', an increase of $507,309,474, or 135 per cent. The value of imports was $135,958,408 in 1870, and $642,664,628 in 1881, an increase of $206,706,220, or 47 per eenj. THE EUR AND FLOW OF SPECIE. During each tear from 1863 to 1819 in elusive, the exports or spec e exceeded tbe ira* ports. The la'ge't excess of such exports over imports was re- bed curing the year 1861, when it amounted to $9 2i'V';9. 0,.t du ing the year ended June 30, ’■v c i(, th imports of coin and bullion exceeded the exports by $75,891,391. and during the list fiscal year the excess of imp ;i ts over exports was $91,166,650. REFUNDING. In the last annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury tbe attention of Congress was paiieo to tbe fa rt that 5Y9,650 00In 5 per cent 4 nbo ds and 8293,573.750 jn'p p6r centum boi-d'i would become redeemable during the year, and Cmgre s was asked to authorize the refunding cf these bonds at a lower rate of in terest A bill for such refunding haviog failed to become a law tbe Secretary ot the 'lreasui y in April last notified the holders of the $195,- 690.4(0 6 per centum bonds then outstanding that the herds would be paid at par on the first (lay of July following or they might be continued at the pleasure of the government, to bear interest at the rate of 3J$ per centum per annum. Under this notice $178,055,150 of the 6 per centum bonds were continued at the lower rate. 7,635,250 were redeemed. In the month of May a like notice was given re specting the redemption or continuance of $437,841,350 of 5 per centum bonds then out standing, and of these $301,504,900 were con tinued at 314 jjer centum pbi annum, and $lO,- 336,451 redeem'd Tbe 6 per centum bonds of the loan of February 8, 1861. and of the Oregon war debt, amounting together to $14,123,800, having mature! during the year, the Secretary of the Treasury gave notice of his intentions to rede, in the same, and such as have been pre sented have been paid from the surplus reve nues 4 hare have also been redeemed at par 6.179,100 of tbe 3Vk per centum “continued” bonds, making a total of bonds redeemed, or which have ceased to bear interest during the year, of sl-1 969,65 THE SAVING IN INTEREST. The reduction of the annual interest on the {>ublic debt through these transaciions is u fol ows: By the reduction of interest to 9)4 per cent $10,473,952 25 By redemption of bonds 6,352,340 00 Total 16,826,892% Ihe3)4 per centum bends, being payable at the pleasure of the government, are available for the investment of the surplus revenue with out the payment of premiums. Unless these bonds can be funded at a much lower rate of interest than they now bear, I agree with the Secretary of the Treasury that no legislation respecting them is desirable. THE INTERNAL REVENUE. It is a matter of congratulation that the business of the country has been so prosper ous during the past year as to yield by taxa tion a large surplus of income to the govern ment-. If the revenue laws remain unchanged this surplus must year by year increase, on ac count of the reduction of the public debt and its burden of interest, and beesuse of the rapid increase of our population. In 1660, just prior to the institution of our internal revenue svstem. our population but slightly exceeded 30/00.00). By the cpnsus of 188‘> it is now found to exceed 50,000.000. It is estimated that even If the annual receipts and expenditures should continue as at present the entire debt could be paid in ten rears. In view, however, of the heavv load of tax rtion which our peo ple have already borne we mav well consider whether it is not the part of wisdom to reduce the revenues, even if we delay a li f tle the pav ment of the debt It seems to me that the time has arrived when the people mav justly demand some relief from their present oner ous burden, and that by due economv in the various branches of the publicser ice this may readily b* afforded TAXES SHOULD BE REDUCED. I therefore concur with the Secretary in recommending the abolition of a’l internal revenue taxes except those upon tobacco in its various forms and upon distilled spiri's and fermented I‘quors, and except, alar, the special tax upon the manufacturers and dealers in such articles The retention of the latter tax is desirable as affording the officers of the gov ernment a proper supervision of these articles for the prevention of fraud. I agree with the Fecretarv of the Treasury that the law impos ing a stamp tax upon matches, pronrietat-v articles plaving cards, checks and draf-smav with propriety he repealed, and the law algo by wh ch banks and bankers ore assessed noon their capital and deposits There s*ems to be a general sentiment in favor of this course. THE TAX ON DEPOSITS. In the present condition ot our revenues the tax upon deposits is especially unjust It va nt ver imposed in this country nn’il it was de manded bv the necessities of the war and was never exacted, I believe, in ar.y other country, even iu its greatest ex gences The hanks are required to secure their c reulatinn by pledg ing with the Treasurer of the United States bunds of the general government. The inter est upon these bonds, which a' the time when the tax was imposed was 6 per cent. is now io moat instances 3)4 per cent. Besides, the entire circulation was originally limited by law. and no increase was alfowah e When the existing banks had practically a mon opoly of the business there wasf'rce in the suggestion that for the franchise to the favor-d grantees the government might very properly exact a tax on circulation, but for years the system has been free, and the amount of ci'cu lation regulated by the public demand. The retention of this tax has been suggesled as a means of reimbursing the government for the expense of printing and furnishing the circu lating notes. If the tax should he repealed, it would certainly seem proper to reqnire the nati nal banks to pav the amount of such ex pense to the Comptroller of the Currency. A FURTHER SUGGESTION It is perhaps doubtful whether the immedi ate reduction of the rate of taxation upon I qnors and tobacco is advisable, especially in view of the drain upon the Treasury which must attend the payment of the arrears of pen sions. A comparison, however, of the amount of taxes collected under the varying rates of taxation which have a T different, tim-s pre vailed suggests the in'imation that some re duction mav be son" made without material diminution of the revenue. TARIFF REVISION. The tariff laws also need revision, but that all due regard may be paid to the conflicting intensts of our citizens important changes shru’d be made with cauti -n. If a car-ful re vision cannot be male at this session, a com mission, such as was lately approved by the Senate and is now recommended by the Secre retary of the Treasury, would, doubtless, lighten the labors cf Congress whenever this subject shall be brought to its consi Jerat on. THE NEEDS OF THK ARMY. The accompanying report of tho Secretary of War will make known to you the operation of that dns for its improvement I call your evueejal attention also to ifie appended reoort of the Advisory Board, which he convened to devhe mitable measures for increasing the efficiency of rn navy, ani partiouiariy to report as to the character aud nunib-r of ves-els necessary to place it upon a footing commensurate with the necessities of the government. WE MUST HAVE WAR SHIPB I cannot too strongly urge upon you my con viction thqt everycongideratiofi of national safe tv, economy ana honor imperatively deman 1 a thorough rehabilitation or our navy. With a full appreciation that compliance with the sug gestion 0 f the head of that department and the advisory board must involve a large ex penditure of the public moneys, I earn- stly recommend such appropriations as will accom plish an er and which seems to me so desirable. Nothing can be more inconsistent with true pub lic economy than withholding the means neces sary to accomplish the objects entrusted by the Constitution to the National L gisUture. One of the-e obj-t ts. anil one whi ‘h is of para mount itrportauc-, is declared by our funda mental law to be the provi-ion for the com mon dsfensg Surer/, nothing is more essen tial to the defense of the United States and of all our people than the efficiency of our navy. We have for many years maintained with foreign governments tho relations of honorable peac, and that euoh rela tions may be oerman-nt is desired bv very pati iotic citizen of the republic. But, If we heed the teachings of history, we shall net forget that in the li e of every nation emergencies may arise when a lesort'to arais alone can save it fr. m dishonor No danger from Hbroal now threatens this people, tour have we any cause to doubt the I ri.-n ly pro fessions of other governments, h u avoi iog as well as foreseeing V.tg-rs that may threaten us in tha futu we must be prepared to enforce any policy which v e think whe tr r ‘opt We tr.-V be ready fo defend our liirii p) eg a? -t H g, res sion, to prot-ct by the dis rtbuti a of our ships of war over the highways of commerce tie varied interests ot our foreigu trade and the persons and property of our citizens abroad, to maintain everywhere the honor of our Gag snd the distinguished position which we may rightfully claiui ampug the nutiong tf the world- THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT. Ihe report of the Postmaster General is a grati yii g exhibit of the growth and efficiency of the postal service. The receiprs from post age and other ordinary sources during the past fiscal year were $36 489.816 58. The receipts from the money order business were $295,581 39, making a total of $36,765,397 97. Ihe expendi ture for the fiscal year was $39,251,736 46 The deficit supplied out of the General Treasury was $2,431,129 85, or 6 3-10 per pent, of the amount expended. The receipts were $3,469,- 418 63 m excess of those of the previous year. r d $4,575,397 9/ in ex cess of the estimate made two vears ago.before the present period of business pros peritv had fairly begun. The whole number r t letters mailed in this country in the last fiscal year exceeded one thousand millions. The registry system is reported to be in excel lent condition, having been remodelled during the past four years with good results. The amount of registration fees collected during the last fiscal year was $712,892 20, an increes“ over the flsc’l rear ending June 30, 1877, of $345,443 40. The entire number of letters and packages registered during the year was 8.338,919. of which 2.061 were lost or de stroyed in transit. The operations of the money order system are multiplying yearlv under the impulse of immigration, of the rapid development of the newer States and Territories, and the consequent d-rnand for additional means of inter-communication and exchange. Durirg the past year 1.138 addi tional money order offices have been establish ed. making a total of 5.499 In operation at the date of this report During the year the do mestic money orders aggregated in value $105,- 075,769 39. CHEA T ER MONEY ORDERS. A modification of ihe system is suggested, reducing the fees for money orders not exceed ing five dollars from ten cents to five cents, and making the maximum limit SIOO in place of $5). Legislation for the disposition of un claimed nriODev orders in the possession of the Post Office Department is recommended in view o’ the fact that their total value now ex ceeds $1,000,000. POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS. The attention of Ooncress is again invited to the subject of establishing a svstem of savings depositories in connection with the Post Office Department. INCREASING COST OF ROUTES. The statistics of mail transportation show that during the past year railroad routes have heen increased in length 6.249 miles and in cost $1,114,382, while steamboat routes have hern decreased in length 9,182 miles and in cost $194,054. The so-called star routes have ben decreased in length 3.949 miles and in cost $364,144. Nearly all of the more expen sive routes have been superseded by railroad service. The cost of the star service must, therefore, rapidly decrease in the Western States and Territories. The Postmaster Gene ral. however, calls attention to the constantly increasing cost of the railroad service’ as a serious diffl-'ulty in the way of making the department self sustaining FOREIGN POSTAL RELATIONS. Cur postal intercourse with foreign countries has kept p'ce with the growth of the domestic services. Within the past vear several coun tries and colonies have declared their adhesion to the Postal Union. It now includes all those which have an organized postal service except Costa Rica, New Zealand and the British colonies in Australia. THE STAR ROU 1 E PROSECUTIONS. A s has heen a’ready s'ated. great reductions have recently been made in the expense of the star route service. The investigations of the Department of Justice and the Post Office De partment have resulted in the pres mtation of indictments against persor s formerly con nected with that service, accusing them of offen-es ngairst the United States I have en joined upon the officials who are charged with the conduct of tiie cases on the part of the government and upon the eminent counsel, who, before my accession to the Presidency, were called to thrir a sistarce, the duty of pros-cuting w th the utmost vigor of the law all persons who m y be found chargeable with frauds upon the postal service. JUDICIAL REFORM. The Acting Attorney General calls attention to the necessity of modifving tho present sys tem of the courts of the United States, a ne cessity due to the large increase of bu'iness, especially in the Supreme Court, litiga ion in our Federal tribunals being greatly expand ed afrer the clo-e of (he late war. So long as that expansion might be attributable to tbe ab normal condition in wh ch the community found itself immediately after the return of peace, prudence required that no change be made in the constitution of our judicial tri bui als But it has now become apparent that an immense increase of litigation has directly resulted from the wonderful growth and de velopment of the country. There is no ground for the belief that the business of the United States courts will ever be less in volume than at present Indeed, that it is iikriy to be much greater is general y recognized by the bench and bar In view of the fact that Congress has already given much consideration to this subject, I make no sug gegtion a to de'ails, but express the hope that your deriherati ns may result in such legisla tion as will give early relief to our overbur dened courts. OUTRAGES IN ARIZONA. The Acting Attorney General also calls at tention tothe disturbance of the public tran quility during the past year in the Territory of Arizona, where a band of armed desperadoes known as “cow boys.” probably numbering from fifty to one hundred men. have been en gaged for m nths in committing acts of law its'ness and brutality which the localauthori ties have been unable to repre’3. The depre dations of tin se “cow boys” have been also extended into Mexico, which the marauders reach from the Arizona frontier. With every dis position to meet, the exigencies of the case, I am embarrassed by lack if authority to deal with them effectually.’The punishment of crime coromi'ted within Arizona should or dinarily. of course, be left to the Terr.toria! authorities, but >t is worthy of consideration whether acts which necessarily tend to embroil the L T nited States with neighboring govern ments should not be declared crimes against the United States Some of the incursions al luded to may, perhaps, be within the scope of the lawful Revised Matu'es, section 5286, for bidding military expi'ditiona or enterprises against friendly Btates, but in view of the speedy assembling of vour body I have preferred to await such legalization as in your wisdom the occasion may seem to demand. It mav perhaps be thought proper to provide that the setting on foot within our own terri tory of brigandage and armed marauding ex peditions against friendly nationi and their citizens, sha'l be punishable as an offense against tiie United Stales. I will add that in the event of a request from the Territorial Government for protection by the United States against domestic violence this government wool ibe powerless to render assistance. The act of 1795. chapter 36, passed at a time when Territorial governments received fitUe atten tion from Congri enfdrped this duty of the United States only as to the state Govern ments, but the act of 18G7, chapter 39, applied 'Bo t> territories. This law seems to have remained in force until the revision of the statutes, when the provision for the territories was dropped. lam not advised whether this alteration was iutention&l or accidental, but as it seems to me that the territories thould be offered the protection which is accorded to the States by the Constitution, I suggest legis lation to that end. It seems to me that what ever views may prevail fs to the policy of re cent legislation by which the army has ceasel to be a part of the posse comitatus, an excep tion might well be marie for permitt ng the military to assist the civii Territorial authori ties in enforcing ihe laws of the United Mates. This use of the army would not seem to be within Ihe range or the alleged evil against which that legislation was aimed. From the sparseness of population and oihep circum stances it is often quite impracticable to sum mon a civil v>osse in places where affair* of justice require assistance and whereqijiiUtary force is within easy reach. TUB INTERIOR liEPARIMENT. The report of the Secretary of tbe Interior, with accompany ng documents, presents an elabor> te account of the business of that de partment. a summary of it would be too tended for this place. X ask v Cur careful at tention to the rrmu tsp]f p r ominent amo the matters which challenge the attention of Congress at its present session, is the manage ment of our In/ian affairs. n hile th is ques‘ ion has been a cause of trouble and embarrassment from the infancy of the government, it is but recently that any effort has been made for its solution at, once by serious, dßemained, consistent and promising success. It has b een easier to resort to eon veiiiei.t'niake-'hifts for tiding over temporary difflcul ies than to grap; ie with tbe great permanent problem, and accordingly tbe t-asler course has almost invariably been pursued. it was natural at a time when tbe national territory seemed ajmost illimitable, and contained manv millions of acres far outside the b-unds of civilized tettlements, that a policy should have been initiated, which more than aught else has been the fruitful source of our Indian compli cat ons. I refer, of course, to the pol cy of dealing with the various Indian tribes aa sepa late uatiouali:ies, of relegating them by treaty stipulation to the occupancy of immense re servations in the West, of encouraging them to live a savage life, undisturbed by any earnest and well directed efforts to bring them under the influence of civilization. The unsatisfactory rt suits which have sprung from this policy are becoming ap parent to al'. As the white settlements nave crowded the borders cf the reservations, the Indians, sometimes contentedly, and some times against their will, have been transferred to other hunting grounds, from which they have again heen dislodged whenever theirnew found hon es have been desired by the adven turous settlers. Th“'e removals, and thefroLtier collisions by which they have ofren heen pre- ceded, have led to frequent and disastrous con flicts between the races It is profitless to dis cuss here which o? them has been chiefly re sponsible fbr the disturbances, whose recital occupies so large a space upon tbe pages of our his ory. r> e haae to deal with the appall ing fact that though thousands of lives have heen sacrificed, aud ha ureds of millions of dollars expended on the attempt to solve he Indian problem, it has until within tbe past few years seemed scarcely nearer a so lution than it was half a century ago. But the government has of late beau cautious ly but steadily fee ing its way to the adoption of a police which has already produce 1 graii fying results, and which, in mv jungmeut, is likely, if Congress and the Executive accord to hs support to relieve us ere long from the difflculUts which h ive he etofore best-t us. HOW TO LEAL WITH THE INDIANS For the success of the efforts now ig kitg to introduce among the U fliana the'cti-tom and pursuits of end.i* and life, and gradually to ab orh them into the ir.asj of 1 any of them realize the fact that their hunting days are over, and that it is now for their best interests to conform their manner of life to the new order of things. By no greater inducement than the assurance of a permanent title to the soil can ihev he led to engage in the occupa tion of tilling it. The well attested rep rts of their increasing interest in husbandry justify the hopes and belief that the enactment of such a statute as I recommend would be at once attended with gratifying results. A resort to the allotment srrtem would have a direct and powerful irfluence on dissolving the tribal bands, which is so prominent a feature of savage life, aud which tends so strongly to per petuate it. Third. I advise a liberal approprie-tion for the support of Indian schools, because of my confident belief that euch a course is consis tent with the wi-e-t economy. Even among the most uncultivated Indian tribes there is reported to be a general and urgent desire on the part of the Chiefs and older members for the education of their children It is unfortu nate in view of this fact that during the past year tbe means which have been at the com mand of the Interior Department for the pur pose of Indian instruction have proved *o be utterly inadequate. The success of the schools which are in operation at Hampton, Carlis’e and Forest Grove should not only encourage a more generous provision for the support of those institutiors. but should prompt the es tablishment of others of a similar character. Thev are, doubtless, much more potent for good than the day schools upon the tion.as the puuils are altogether separated from the surroundines of savage life and brought into constant contact with civilization. There are many other phases of this subject, which are of great interest but. cannot be introduced within the becoming limits of this communica tion They are discussed ablv in the reports of the Secretary of the Interior and the Com missioner of Indian Aff airs THE MORMON QUESTION. For many years the Executive in his annual message to Congress has urged the neeessitv of stringent legislation for the suppression of polygamy in the Territories, andje-pecially in the Territory of Utah. The exisring statutes for the punishment cf this odious crime, so revolting to the moral and religious sense of Christendom, has been persistently and con temptuously violated ever since iu enactment. Indeed, in spite of the commendable efforts on the part of the authorities who represent the United States in that Territory the law, has in very rare instances been enforced, and for a cause, to which reference will presently be m de, is practically a dead letter. Tbe fact that the ad herent* of the Mormon Church, which rests upon polygamy as its corner stone, have re cently been peopling in large numb-rs in Idaho, Arizona and other of our Western Ter ritories, is a ell calculated to excite the livelie-t interest and apprehension. It imposes upon Congress and the Executive the duty of array ing against this barbarous system ail the power which under the Constitution and the law they can wield for its destruction Reference has been alreaiy made to the ob stacles, which the United States office's have encountered in their efforts to punish vioiatn ns of law. Prominent among these obst des is difficulty jn procuring legal evidence sufficient to warrant a conviction even in the case of the most notorious offenders, v our atteniiou is called to a recent opinion of the Supreme Court of the United r-tates, explaining its judgment of reversal in the case of Miles, who had been oonvicted of bigamy in Utah. The cjurt refers to the fact that the secrecy at'ending the celebration of marriages in that Territory makes the proof of polygamy very difficult, and the propriety is suggested of modifying the law of evidence, which now makes a wi e incompetent to testify agaiust her husu&nd. This suggestion is approved. I recommend also the passage of au act providing that in the Territories of the Unit'd -States the fact that a woman has been married to a person charged with bigamy shall not disqualify her as a witness upon ids trisl for that offense. X further recommend legislation by which anv person solemnizing a marriage in any of the Territo ries shall be required under stringent penalties for neglect or refusal to file a certificate of such marriage in the Supreme Cqurt of the Territories. Doubtless, Congress may devise other practicable measures for obviating the difficulties, which have heretofore attended the efforts to suppress this iniquity 1 assure yuu of my determined purpose to co operate with ycu in any lawful and discreet treasures which may he proposed to that eud. THE DUTY OF EDUCATING THE IGNORANT. Although our system of government does not contemplate that the nation should pro vide or suppoi t a system for the education of our people, no measures calculated to promote that general iuteliigenuu and virtue upon which the perpetuity of our institutions so greatly depends have ever been regarded with indifference oy Congress or the Executive. A large portion of the public drmain has been from time to time devoted to the promotion of education. There is now a special reason why by setting apart the proceeds of its sales of public lands or by some other course, the government should aid the work of education. Many who now exercise the right of suffrage are unable to read the baliot which they cast. Upon many, who had first emerged from a condition of slavery, were suddenly devolved the responsi bilities of citizeusbip in that port on of the country most impoverished by war. 1 have been pleased to leurn from the report of rhe Commissi ner of Education that there has lately been a commendable in crease of interest and effort for thei;- instruction, but all that can be done by local legislation and private generosity should be supplemented by such aid as can be constitu uonally afforded by the National Government. I‘would suggest? that if any fqnd he r eaieated to this purpose, it be wisely distribut and in the different Btates according to the ratio of illiteracy, as by thii means those, localities which are most in peed of such assistance will reap Its special benefits. THE REQUIREMENTS OF AGRICULTURE. The report of the Commissioner of Agricul ture exhihjts the results of the experiments in which that department has been engaged dur ing tho past year, and makes important sug gestions in reference to the agricultural de velopment of the country. The steady icc -eaze of our production and the consequent addition to tbe number of those engaged in the pursuit of husbandry are giving to this department a grow ng aignity and importance. The Com missioner’s suggestions touching i's capacity for greater usefulness deserves attention, as it more and more commends itself to the inter ests which it was created to promote. THE PENSION PROBLEM. It appears Trom the report of the Commis sioner of Fsnoions that since IS6), 789,0 8 origi nal pension claims have been filed; 450,049 of these have been allowed aud inscribed ou the pension roll; 72,539 have heen abandoned, being 13 per cent of the whole number of claims settled. There are now pending for settlement 265,575 original peislon claims, :2 040 ot which were filed prior to July Ist, 168) when allowed, will involve at an r l£?affo ot Charge in else man mv** and f rom t j le date cf death on “mi termination of a prior right in all other cases. From all the data obtainable it is esti mated that 15 per cent, of the number of claims now rending will be rejected or abandoned. This would show the probable rejec ion of 34,040 cases and the prob able admission of about 193,000 claims, all of which involve the payment of arrears of pension. With the present force employed, the number of acj-dications re maining tbe same and no new business inter vening, this number of claims, 193,0 jO, could be acted upon in a period of six years, and taking January first, 1884, as a near period fr .m which to estimate jn each case an aver age amount of arrears, it is found that every case allowed would require for the first pay ment upon it the sum of $1,3i0. Multiplying this amount by the whole num ber of probable admissions gives $250,000 OuO as the sum required for first payments. 'J his represents the sum which must be paid upon claims which were filed before July Ist, IsSO, and are now pending and entitled to the bene fits of the arrears act. From this amount, $250,101,0; 0, may be deducted from tan to fifteen millions of cases where the claimant dying there is no pe son, who. under the law, would be entitled to succeed to the pension, leaving the $235,000.0t0 as the probable amount to be paid. Xn these esti mates no account has beeu taken of the 38,5 )0 cases filed since June 30, 1880, and now pend ing, which must receive attention as current bii'iriess, but which do not involve the pay ment of any arrears beyond the date of filing the cialm. ot this number it is estimated 86 per cent, will be allowed. As has been stated, with the present force of the Pension Bureau, 675 clerks, it is estimated that it will take six years to dispose of the claims now pending. It is stated by the Commissioner of Pensions that by au addition of 250 c.erKH, increasing the ad judicating force gather than the mechanical, double the amount of work could be accom piished, so that these cases could he acted upon within three years. Aside from the considerations of justice, which may be urged for a speedy settle ment of the claims now on the flies of the Pension Office, it is no less important un the score of economy, inasmuch as fully one third of the clerical force of the office is now wholly occupied in giviug attention to corre spondence with the thousands of claimants wnose cases have been on its flies for the past eighteen years. The fact that a sum so enormous must be expended by the government to meet the demand for the arrears of pensions is an admonition to Congress and the Executive to give cautious consideration to any similar project in the future. The great temptation to the presenta tion of fictitious claims, afforded by the fact that the average sum obtained upon exact ap plications is thirteen huudred dollars, lead* me to suggest the propriety of making special ap propriation for the prevention Of fraud. jNTEWNAii' IMFROVIMENTS. 1 advise appropriations for such internal im provements as the wisdom of Congress may oeem to be of public importance. The neces sity of improviug the navigation of the Missis sippi liver justifies a special allusion to the subject. I suggest the adoption of -some meas ure for tbe removal of the obstructions which now impede ihe navigation of that great chan nel of commerce. CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. In my letter accepting the nomination for the Vice Presidency I stated that, in my judg ment, “no man should be the incu übent ot au office the duties of which he is. ro* any. cause, unfit to perform, or who is licking in the ability, fidelity or Integrity, which a proper administration of such office demands. This sentiment would, douhless, meet with general acquiescence, but opinion has wkfofo ESTABLISHED 1850. divided upon the wisdom and practicability of th various reformatory schemes which have been suggested, and of certain proposed regu la'ions governing appointments to public offices.” The efficiency of such reeulaMons has been distrusted mainiy because they have seemed to txalt mere educational and abstract tests above general business capacity, and even special fitness for the particular work in hand. It se“ms to me that the rules which should be applied to the management of the public ser vice may properly conform in the main to such as regulate the conduct of successful private business. Original appoint ments should be based upon ascertained fit ness ihe tenure of office should be stable The positions of responsibility should, as far as practicable, be filled by the promotion of worthy and efficient officers. Ihe investiga tion of all complaints and the punishment of all official mbconduct should be prompt and thorough. The views expressed in the foregoing letter are those which will govern my administra tion of the Executive office. They are, doubt less, shared by al ant queßt ion within the strongest bo^ B or statutory enactment Ui "y profitably swail the result of further inquiry and experiment. The submission of a po-(ion of the nominations to a central i board of examiners, selected solely for testing the qualifications of applicants, may, perhaps, without resort to the competitive test, put an end to the mischiefs which attend the present system of appointments, and it may he feasi ble to vest in such a board a wide discretion to ascertain the characteristics and attainments of candidates ii those particulars, which I have already referred to as beiug no less important than mere intellectual a'tainment. If Congress should deem it ad visible at the present session to establish competitive tests for admission to the service, no doubts such as have been suggested shall deter me from giving the measure my earnest support, and I urgently recommend, should there be a failure to pass any other act upon this subject, that an appropriation of $ns of his office. It is provided by the seem 1 article of the Con stitution. in the fifth clause of its first section, “that in oae of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation or inability to discharge the pow ers and duties of sail officer, the same shall devo ve on the Vice President.” What is the intendment of the Constitu tion in its specification of “ina bility to discharge the pow-rs and duties of said office as one of the contingencies, which calls the Vice President to the exercise of Presidential functions Is the inability limit ed in its nature to long continued inti-llectual incapacity, or has it a broader import f What must be its extent and duration f How must its existence be established? Has the President, whose inability is the subject of inquiry, any voice in determining whether or not it exists, or is the decision of that mo mentous and delicate question confided to the Vice President, dr is it contem plated by the Constitution that Congress should provide by law precisely what should con-titute inability, and how and by what tribunal or authority K should be ascertained. If the inability proves to be temporary in ita nature, and uurincr icg continuance the v .ce President l wfully exer cises the functions of the Erecu v b X, wha t tenure does he hold his offi e? Does he continue as President for the remainder of the four years term? or would the elected President, if his inability should cease in the interval, be empowered to resume his office, end if, having such lawful authority, he should exeicise it, would the Vice President be thereupon empowered to re sume his powers and duties as such? CONCLUSION. I cannot doubt that these important ques tions will receive your early and thougntful consideration Deeply impressed with the gravity of the responsibilities which have so unexpectedly devolved upon me, it wifi be my constant purpose to cooperate with you in such measures as will promote the glory of the country and the prosperity cf its people. Chester A. Arthur Washington, D. C. December 6, 1881. A BRUTAL MURDER. A White Man Hacked by a Negro 111 Virginia. Fortress Monroe, December 6.— The particulars which have been received of the murder of Wm. Schiater, last Friday even log, four miles north of Newport News, rep resent that ihe aff lir grew out of a dispute between the deceased and a colored man named William Allen, who was employed by two brothers of the name of Kelly, occu pying part of Schlater’a house. Schiater wanted to ride In a conveyance owned by the Kellys and drawn by Allen’s mule. There had been some previous trouble be tween Schiater and Allen in regard to an anchor which Bchlater had lost, and which he found In a boat belonging to Alien,when bard words passed between the men, dur ing which, it is said, Allen threatened to “let daylight” through Schiater the first chance he got. Ho r-fused Scblater’s re quest (o let, him ride home with the Kellys ou the evening of the allray, and when he reached his house the quarrel was renewed. Mrs. Ktlly heard the noise, and shortly after saw Allen sir’ke Schiater, who then called him “a black thief.” Allen then knocked him down andcrramenced choklDg him. It was with difficulty ho could be torn from his victim. As Schiater and and not get up it was thought he had fainted, and ha was carried Into the house, when blood was found upon his clothing. An examination was made and tbree cuts were discovered—one back of the left shoulder, wbicii seems to have glanced upwards ami cut a gash in his head behind the ear, and two others, one of which went, through tLe lung and the other through Ihe heart, the latter killing him Instantly. Schiater was a delicate man. and always bore a good reputation. The Kelly brothel’s secured the negro, Allen, who seems to have Baade no effort to escape. He de nted the cutting, and hart evidently thrown away his knife, as it could not be found. He was taken to jail at Warwick court house, where he Is now confined. Schiater was about ihirty yeais of age aud married. His two brothers are engaged iu the drug business at Hampton, Va.

Mr. Baldwin, the cheerful cashier of the Newark Bank, gave freely to the Re publican campaign fund last year. There are 5.11(5 men employed in the copper mines of this country, and the total yearly product of copper is a little iess than $8,850,000. The Irish are beginning to refuse to pay rent in dead earnest. Eviction will follow, and unless the evicted are sus tained great suffering will ensue. The Philadelphia Newt Bays the mon strous beaver hats now worn by ladies will necessitate the immediate adoption of hoops to keep the wearers from look ing top heavy. It is anticipated in Washington that a number of nominations making impor tant department changes, more particu larly in the Treasury, will be sent in this or next week. The Democratic Senators say they fully expect Judge Davis to vote again to make Republican committees of the Senate, but they do not think he will vote to turn out the Democrats who hold the elective offices. When Gen. Hurlbut was in command at New Orleans he used to remark that he held Louisiana in the hollow of his hand. It seems to be the present im pression that he is trying to cram Peru into his breeches pocket. It is said, and on what is claimed to be reliable information, that a certain Cabinet officer has, since hi appoint ment to office last March, put into good places in his own department sixteen of his near relatives. lie ought to be popu lar with the family. At San Francisco November 24th Governor Stanford’s wonderful yearling filly, Hindoo Rose, trotted a mile, with a single slight break, in 2:364, the best time ever made by a yearling trotter. The first quarter was made in 404 sec onds, the half mile in 1:18i, three-quar ters in 1,554, and the mile in 2:364- The Shah of Persia fell violently in love with the Princess of Wales during his visit to England some years ago, and about once a year makes a tempting offer to the Prince for her. His last offer was to give him two of his best wives, his mother and his grandmother, in exchange for Alexandra, but Wales still declined. The fair for the benefit cf the Soldiers’ Home, at Boston, to come off this week, will be one of the best of the kind ever held in that city. An urgent request has been made through Mayor Courtenay to the Washington Light lufsntry of Charleston, S. C., for the loan of the Confederate battle flag which floated over Fort Sumter during the war. Montpelier, formerly the home of President Madison and his burial place, in Orange county, Virginia, was sold Thursday at auction to Mr. Detrick, of Baltimore, and Mr. Bradley, of Boston, for $19,000. Less than a year ago the same place was soid at auction to Mr. James L. Carrington, of Richmond, but because of some informality the sale was not confirmed by the court. Another home for friendless working girls is about to be established in L -n --don, making the sixth institution of the kind iu the British metropolis. The Earl and Countess of Aberdeen are at the head of the movement, and many distinguished iadies are giving it their support. Iu gentle and sympathetic re membrance of the late President it is to be called “The Garfield Home.” The magnitude of the cattle raising in this country is something that can hardly be estimated, but the Land De partment of the Union Pacific Railroad is gathering facts which show its sur prising growth. The shipments of cat tle over that road this season will reach 170,000, over 100,000 having already passed through Omaha, and these most ly from Nebraska. The best of the high grade beef cattle pass through direct to Europe. Bradstreet's reports 168 failures throughout the United States and Canada during the past week, which is an in crease of 45 over the record of the pre vious week, and the largest number re ported for any week of this year. The increase was in New England and the South and West. Man. of the failures are attributed to losses from speculation and overtrading, and in the South to the effect of short crops and the consequent difficulty in making collections. The arrest of President Calderon of Peru and his Minister for Foreign Affairs by the Chilian authorities rendered prompt action by our govern ment, which had recognized him as the Chief Executive in the new administra tion, necessary. As soon as dispatches could be prepared the Secretary' of State forwarded his protest to Peru. Walter Blaine, Third Assistant Secretary of State, and Wm. H. Trescott sailed from New York for Callao on Saturday, in the steamship Colon, bearing these dis patches. It is understood that, while their purport is in the line of vigorous protest against the violent measures taken by Chili, they do not contain an unqualified approval of Mr. Iluriburt s course in the premises. Cotton Seed Oil. It was stated a short time ago that the Italian Government had put so high a rate of duty on cotton seed oil as to make its importation prohibitory. This was done for the purpose of preventing the adulteration of the fine salad oils in whose production Itaiy enjoys a high and well-merited reputation, the Lucca oil being the best and purest of its kind. To what extent cotton seed oil is used both at home and abroad as a substitute for or to mix with olive oil will be readi ly understood when the fact is stated that there are fifty-six cotton seed mills in the United Slates, most of which are situated in the Southwestern States. These mills produce fifteen million gallons of cotton seed oil, or which 10,000,000 gallons are sent to France, and there mixed with about one third of olive oil, to fie relumed to us from Bordeaux and other French ports either as pure salad oil or in the sardines cooked in oil, of which so many boxes are exported to the United States. The remaining 5,000,000 gallons of cotton *e?d oil are used at home, but in what way It would be more difficult to trace. The cotton seed oaks, after the oil is ex- The President’s Message. Yesterday President Arthur sent his first message to Congress. It is an ex ceedingly lengthy document, and most of It is taken up by a repetition, almost verbatim, of the various reports of the d.fferent heads of departments. He begins by dwelling upon our for eign relations, and, on this subject, he discusses separately the relations of the United State 9 with nearly every indi vidual country on the globe. His entire remarks on this theme may be summar ized in few words, however. He favors a compliance with the terms of the Chinese treaty, recommends a proper dis position of the Japanese indemnity fund, hopes that the order of the Red Cross— an international order, organized for the pm pose of affording relief to sick and wounded in time of war —will be encour aged in this country; thinks that Secre tary Blaine was perfectly right in the stand he took recently regarding the rights of the United States in connec tion with De Lesseps’ Panama Canal scheme, and congratulates the country upon the universally friendly relations which exist between ourselves and all the world. He then discusses at length the fiuan cial condition of the country and the state of the Treasury. He thinks the present prosperity of the United States a cause of sincere congratulation, and al ludes to the plan of Secretary Windom for exchanging the 5 and 6 per cent, ma tured bonds for those of 34 per cent., bearing long dates. This plan he ap proves of, and expresses the opinion that unless governments can be successfully floated at a lower rate than 34 per cent., further legislation on the subject is un necessary. He favors the abolition of internal revenue taxes on all articles ex cept whisky and tobacco, and thinks that even on these the tax can wisely be re duced. He also favors the stopping of silver coinage and the non issuance of more silver certificates. In these last two positions he virtually announces himself in favor of a high protective tariff—as the protectionists favor the abolition of the internal ex cises and desire to raise the government revenues solely through customs duties— and declares his sympathy with the single standard bondholders and the money power of the Eastern States. He also reviews the Postmaster Gener al’s report, a synopsis of which we have already published, and endorses all that is therein recommended by that gentle man. About the most interesting portion of this part of the message is that the the President announces that he has given instructions to the counsel for the government in the star route cases to proceed with the prosecution until the charges are either fully proved or the accused acquitted. This action will meet the approval of the country, and is an earnest that the new adminis tratton will be conducted with an eye to honesty. If this is persisted in, it follows that Grant will play by no means so conspicuous a part in the affairs of the nation during the next three years as has been apprehended. In discussing the reports of the Secre I taries of War and Navy he, as he does in discussing all the other reports of Cabinet officers, approves everything therein contained. He favors a rehabiii tation of the navy and an increase of the army, and recommends that Congress devote its attention specially to these points. He also evidently desires a repeal or modification of the posse comitatus legislation of the 4oth Congress, and thinks the Executive should, at least in the Territories, be en abled to use the military as a means of assisting the civil authorities in the exe cution of Federal laws. He also favors a more liberal policy towards the In dians, and takes a decided stand in op position to Mormon ism. After finishing with his recapitulation of the reports of the various depart ments, he devotes the remainder of the document to a discussion of matters and things generally in the United States, without very strongly committing him self to any decided line of policy. The most promising feature of the message is that it makes no allusion to the South, and while it is, as we have said, very lengthy, to great extent, is merely a re petition of official reports, and is gener ally non committal in its tone, it is, upon the whole, instructive and interesting, as it gives considerable information of value to the people at large relative to the condition of the country. It will be found published in full in our telegraphic columns. The Limit of Railroad Building. Mr. Edward Atkinson has been en gaged in sketching the future of railroad development in the United States. He concludes, after allowing for one com mercial crisis and one railroad panic within the next seven years, that 117,500 miles new railroad will be built before the beginning of 1900. There were 91,000 in operation at the first of 1881, and he expects this figure to be swelled to about 209,000 by the close of the cen tury. His theory is that we shall then have railroads enough, assuming, as he does, that what Massachusetts has, or will have on the completion of the Massachusetts Central, is to be taken as the measure of enough for the rest of the country. He finds that the State of Massachusetts had on the Ist January. 1881, one mile of road to each 4.12 square miles of surface, and the rest of the world followed in this or der: Belgium, England and Wales, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylania, Delaware, Indiana, New Hampshire, Switzerland, ending with New York, which has one mile of road to each 9.8 square miles. He con cludes that some sections of the country will never need more than one mile of road to 64 square miles, while others will have it for 32, 16 and 8, since the pres ence of navigable streams and wide mountain ranges will affect the need and adaptibtlity of a country for railroads. Bills to be Paid by Congress A Washington special says: "One of the first things to be done in Congress will be the taking of some action with reference to the payment of the very heavy expenses incurred by the illness of the late President. It seems, to be ac cepted that if Congress assumes the pay ment the three civilian physicians, Drs. Bliss, Agnew and Hamiiton, will not expect less than $25,000 each for their services. They consider, it is said, that the direct loss to them from inattention to their regular practire, expenses, etc., will amount to one half of this sum. No bills, it is said, growing out of the care of the President during bis illness have been r\ It seems that the fight was really be tween Hiscock, of New York, and his successful opponent, Keifer, of Ohio, the others mentioned for the place h iving been merely complimentary candidates. As the contest developed, it became very apparent that Hiscock was the champion of the conservative faction of the Repub lican party, of which Secretary Blaine is the acknowledged head, and that Keifer represented the stalwart faction, and so the contest was one simply between stal wartism and conservatism in tbe Repub lican rank?. This is why Keifer, who is a man of very ordinary capacity, and of very little national reputation, was en abled to muster up so much strength, and why he was able to count among his friends and allies such men as Don Cam eron, of Pennsylvania, and “Me Too” Platt, of Hiecock s own State. So it seems that the election of Keifer and the defeat of Hiscock was nothing more nor less tban a stalwart victory, and it, therefore, gives the legislation of the Lower House of Congress into the control of the stalwarts for the next two years, since the Speaker will surely, apart from his personal preferences, mould the committees to suit the ideas of his stal wart friends and benefactors. This, however, amounts to but little of itself, since the Democrats are sufficiently strong to thwart any purely radical legis lation, and they, with the aid of the conservative Republicans, can defeat outright any stalwart or unconstitu tional measure. Nevertheless, the suc cess of Keifer shows one very important fact very painfully, and that is that the spirit which actuated Guiteau in his murder of President Garfield is still ram pant, and that even should the assassin be eventually bung, as he should be (but which under existing circumstances can be regarded as by no means a certainty), his soul, like that of old John Brown of infamous notoriety, will still be march ing cn to incite mischief in the land. £t.

Several weeks since it will be remember ed that an account was given In the Morn ing News of the cutting of one David Bec nett, a negro, by Frank Genero, a conductor on the Coast Line Railroad. Bennett had been ridiog In Mr. Genero’s car and was V( ry boisterous and was ejected. He followed the car and made a demonstration, when Mr. Genero cut him. It is also stated that Ben nett drew a pistol. Mr. Genero was arrested on a warrant issued at the Instance of Bennett, charging him with assanlt with intent to murder. The case came up lor a hearing before Magistrate Waring Russell, Jr., yes terday morning, and a cumber of witnesses were examined and a thorough investiga tion was bad, from which it plainly ap peared that the cutting was done in self defense, and Mr. Genero was discharged. kales at the Court House The monthly sales at the court house yes terday were well attended, hut bidders were not numerous. The following sales are re ported: Messrs. J. McLaughlin k Bon—A lot of land on the Louisville road,for fl3l; twenty acres of land at Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope shell road, for $SOO; Cattle Park tract, for 9450.

The Tybee Case. The case of the State vs. Benj. Haney, charged with simple larceny, was tried In the Superior Court yesterday, and resulted in the aequLtal of the defendant. The par ti* u'ars of this case have been given in the News. It will be remembered that this de fendant was charged with opening a trunk rec .vered from the terrible fire at Tybee on the night of the storm in August. The evi dence failed to sustain the charge to the satisfaction of the jury, the fact that the accu-ed had shown the articles and bis man ner at the lime going in bis favor, and the result was his acquittal. Frank Latre, who was also charged with being concerned In ihe affair, was arraigned on the same charge, but after the verdict was rendered in the case of Haney a nolle prosequi was entered. _ Take Portaline, or Tabler’s Vegetable Liver Powder, if you desire permanent re lief from Biliousness, Sour Stomach, Sick Headache and Dyspepsia.

Yesterday afternoon in the Superior Court the case of the B‘a'e vs. George Griffin, colored, indicted for simple larceny (cow stealing) was called for trial, when It was found that Sam. Ryan, the principal witoess, had disappeared. He had been subpoenaed, and was present in court during the morning, and had been seen about the court house as late as one o’clock. A bailiff was at once dispatched in search of tbe defaulting witness, as the State was un able to proceed to trial wl hout him. and the case was temporarily passed until the return of the officer. After considerable search, the bailiff fonnd Ryan dead drunk at the house of Calvin Grffin.a brother of the prisoner,'n the southwestern portion of the city. It ap pears that Calvin conceived the brilliant idea that by getting Ryan out of the way he would help’ bis brother's cause, Rvan being the important and principal witness for the prosecution. He therefore determined to lead that uneophls'ica'ed individual astray, and commenced operations by Inviting the unsuspecting Samuel to j tin him in a prome nade, while waiting for the case co come up, and take a drink. Sam responded with alacrity to this Invitation, and feeling en thused by the fist drink con cluded to take a second, In which decision he was encouraged by the wily Calvin. The resul" was that in the course of a couple of hours Sam was fearfully drunk, BDd Calvin, being a good Samaritan, kindly took him to his home, where he stow ed the boozy witness safely away, and chuckled over his diplomacy in staving off the trial of his brother. In due time the bailiff returned to the court house, and re ported to tbe Judge tbe result of his Inves tigation. The Sheriff was thereupon In structed by Judge Tompkins to arrest Cal vin Griffia and Sam Ryan and carry them to jail and produce them in court this morn ing It is likely that Calvin will find tamp ering with State’s witnesses don’t pay. A Grand Opportunity Which Should Not be Slighted. Messrs.

The fallacy In the statistics quoted is that the periods of time compared are not annual periods, and that no distinction is made between the mortality of blacks and whites, that of the former being the explanation of Savannah’s ap parent high death rate.

A jolly Alsatian named Max Schmidt, of No. 440 West Thirty-second street, New York city, keeps a well patronized eel ton of him the inquisitive interviewer in a New York paper reports that feeling the cares of providing for his future welfare a burden after thirty-two years struggle in America, he determined to invest one dollar la the October 13th drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery, by sending to M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans, La., and his confidence was re warded with his getting for ticket No. 7,240, at once, $15,000. The same Interviewer at the Chemical Bank met a Mr. John C.

President Davis called Mr. Harris, of Tennessee, to the chair and delivered a long speech explanatory of his vote on Mr. Ed munds’ committee resolution. It was in a conciliatory spirit, but he anmunced his determination to adhere to bis stand taken last spring, when the 6ame question was under discussion. Asa result of this speech Mr. Pugh withdrew his amendment to Mr. Edmunds’ resolution. Mr. Kellogg Introduced various bills as follows: For the establishment of a United Sta'es ocean mall service and the revival of foreign commerce in American steam ships; authorizing mall steamship service in the Gulf of Mexico between New Orleans and Mexican ports; for the establishment of steamship mail service between tbe United States and Brazil; for opening and keeping unobstructed the navigation of Red riv-r in Louis'aua; to autborfzj the Bari tarU Sbip Canal Company to construct and operate a ship canal from New Or eans to tne Gulf of Mexico over lands and waters i of the United States By Mr. Windtm—To create Dakota a State; als") establishing the Territory of Northern Dikota.

All the foregoing were tabled to await the formation of the committees. Mr. Beck tffered a resolution instructing the Judiciary Committee to lr quire whether the existing laws cover every possible con tingency by which a vacancy in the Presi dency might occur. Mr Maxey offered a resolution of similar import. The message was received at 1:05 p. m., read and ordered printed. A resolution was adopted providing for a commission of six to act wi f h the House committee to commemorate President Gar field. Mr. Edmunds' resolulion continuing the committees of last session wa- adopted, Mr. Pugh havmg withdrawn bis amendment authorizing the President pro tem. to decide whether the committees be divided equally or otherwise between the two parties—a party vote, except that President Davis voted with the majority. The support of Mahone, who was absent, was made available for the Republican side by transfer to him by Mr. Rolltns of a pair between him and Mr. Gorman, who was abent. Mr. Rollins, who voted, stated that a pair when made carried with It the power to trau.-fer. Adjourned. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. Rev. Frederick D Power, Chaplain, open ed the proceeding of the House with prayer this morning. “We thank Thee, oh Lord,” he prayr and, “for this gathering of representa tives of lheperp'c. We praise Thy name for the favor Thou hast showu this nation and these Thy servants (luring the days pas'. We give Thee thar.ks that though a cloud of sorrow has enveloped the hearts and homes of Thy people that Thy provi dence ha" preserved us, bringing jov out of sorrow, light out of darkness and wisdom out of folly.” Messrs. Morse, of Massachusetts, and Scales, of North Carolina, appeared and qualified. The work of sell ctlug seats naviug been concluded, the Speaker laid before the House the President’s message, and It was read by the clerk. The reading occupied two hours and a half. At first it was listened to attentively, but during the last hour .attention flagged, and the mem bers entered into conversation with each other or retired to the cloak rooms to smoke and read. The President’s views on the Mormon question elicited some ap plause, which was repeated as the reading wa" concluded. Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, then rffered the following resolution,which was unanimous ly adODted: Resolved, That a committee of one member from each State represented in this House be appointed on tie part of the House to join with a cuumlttee which may be ap pointed on the part of the Senate to con elder and report by what token of respect and aifiction it may be proper for the Congress of the United States to exprt‘6? the deep sensibility of the nation at the decease of i's late President, James Abram Garfield, and thit eo much of ihe message of tbe President as refers to that melancholy event be referred to that com mittee. On motiou of Mr. Kelley, of Pennsyl vania, the President’s message was ordered to be printed and referred to the committee of| the whole. Mr. McLane, of Maryland, a.-ked leave to offer a resolution requesting the President to communica'e to the House Ihe instruc tions sent by the Bta‘e Department to our Ministers to Chili and Peru In regard to the war between those countries. Mr. Robeson, of New Jersey, objected on the ground that it would be time to go Into that, matter when the committees were appointed, and then, upou his motion, the H> use at 3:35 adjourned till Friday, with the understanding that a furthtr adjourn ment should then be taken until Tuefd ctors by a vo‘e of about 94,000 out of 96 000. Loss of memory, universal lassitude, pain iu the back, premature old age, promptly cured with Brown’s Iron Bitters. It restores lost functions and strengthens the weakened parte. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Generally Favorable Reception of the Prceldeui’e Message— What David Davie Think* About It—No Allusion to the South—Cabinet Nomination* to be Sent In To-Day —Arthur Wo Frleud to the Star Route Thieves. Washington, December 6.—The message Is very favorably received by members of Congress. A Republican Senator said of it to day that no member of the Cabinet bad assisted in its prepaiation, but the docu ment was the President’s own work from beginning to end. David Davis expressed himself to a group of Senators on the adjournment of the Sen ate as being highly pleased with the docu ment. He called attention to the fact that for the first time in forty years a message from anew President bad been read which contained no reference to the South and outlined no destructive policy toward that section. He laughingly asked if it was not about time for the parties to break up, as they bad very little left to talk about, let alone fight about. The Cabinet nominations to go in to-mor row will pretty certainly be Frelinghuysen, for Secretary of State, and Brewster, for At torney General. Tne retention of Lincoln has been conceded for some time, and to night It is known that. Postmaster General James will remain until the end of tbe fiscal vear. This was not expected, and was not decidedly or positively settled until within a day or two. Friends of the President are pleased with the arrangement, as It un doubtedly strengthens the party In New York and rob= the half-breeds of tbe ability to taunt the President with throwing out all the friends of Garfield. Bbotild the appointment of Brewster for Attorney General he made, It will effectual ly dispose of the suspicion that Arthur has been disposed to shield the accused in the star route cases.
