These arc important fact-, and show how com pier ei.\ the inferior currency will tlie rot ter, forcing it from circulation among the inaaee.*, and 'fifing * be exported as a mere article of trade to add to the money capital of foreign lands.™ Thcv show the necessity of retiring our pa per inouey, that the return of gold and silver to the avenues of trade may be invited, and a demand created which will can-" the re tention* at home of at least so winch of the productions of our rich and Inexhaustible gold bearing fields as may be sufficient f'of purposes of circulation. It is unrea uahle to expect a return to a sound currency so long as the Government. by continuing to igsue irredeemable notes, fills the channels of circulation with depreciated paper. Not withstanding a coinage by our mints since 1*49 of eight, hundred and seventy four mil lions of dollars, the people are now strung rs to the currency which wast designated for their use and benefit, and -pectin- -ti* of the preeions metals, bearing the national device are seldom seen except when produced to gratify the intetcsf exeiterf by their novelty. If depreciated paper i ;y l>e - ntium-d us the permanent euvrenqy of the conntr . nod all our eoin is to become t men article of traffic- and speculation to the enhancement in price of all that is indisp>sibl to the comfort of the people, it would be wise econo'my to aboli-n our mint?, thus, saving the nation the care and cxper- incident to such establishments, and let all our precious metals be export J in bullion. _ The time lias come, however, when the Government and national banks should be required to take the most efficient steps, end make all necessary arrangements for a resumption ol specie payments at the earliest practicable period. Specie payments having been once resumed b.v the Government and banks, all notes or bills of paper issued by either of a less denomination than twenty dollars, should by law be excluded iron circulation, so that the people may have the benefit and convenience of a gold and silver currency, which, in all their business transaction", will lie uniform id value at home and a broad. Every man of property or industry--every man who desires hi preserve what be honest ly possesses, or to obtain what he can hou estly earn, has a direct interest in maintain ing a safe circulating medium as shall lie real and substantial, cot liable to •. ibratc with opinions, not subject to be blown up or blown down by the breath of speculation, but to be made stable and secure. A dis ordered eurreneyis oneof thegrea' *t politi cal evils; it undermines the virtues necessary for the support of the social system, and en courages propert j'ies destructive of its hap piness. It wars against industry, frugality and economy, ana it fosters the evil spirits of extravagance and speculation. It has been asserted by one of our profound and most gifted statesman, that "of all the con trivance* for cheating the laboring <]a u- of mankind, none has been wore effectual than that which deluded them with paper money.' This is the most effectual of inventions'to fertilize the rich man's field by the sweat of the poor man's brow. Ordinary tyranny, oppression, excessive taxation, these be ir lightly on the happiness of the tna-s of the community as compared with a fraudulent currency and the robberies commit! •< by depreciated paper. Our own history has re corded for our instruction enough, aud more than enough, of the demoralizing tendency, the injustice and the intolerable oppree-i n on the virtuous and well disposed of a de graded paper currency anthorizedby law or in any way countenanced by Government i It is one of the most successful device- in times of peace or war, expansions or revul sions, to accomplish the transfer of all the precious metals from the great mass of the people into the hands of the few where they are hoarded in secret places or d po-i --tcd in strong boxes under bolt* aud bars, while the people are left to endnre all the inconvenience, sacrifice and demoralization resulting from the use of a deprive d ucj worthless paper money. The condition of our finaneies and the operations of our n ve nue system are set forth and fully explained in the able and instructive report of the Secretary of the Treasury- On the 30tli of June, 1866, the public debt amounted to $2,783,4-25,879; on the 30th of June last it was $2 692.199,215: showing a reduction during the fiscal yeaf of $91,225,064 Du ring the fiscal year ending June 30. 1'57, the receipts were $490,634,010 and the ex penditures $346,729,129, leaving an uvaila ble surplus of $143,904,880. It is estimated that the receipts for the fiscal year ending June 30,1963, will be $417,161,925, and that the expenditures will reach the sum of $393,269,226, leaving in the Treasury a surplus of $23,892,702. lor the fiscal ear ending June 30, 1869, it is estimated that the receipts will amount to $381,0tX1,()90, and that the expenditures will be 8 :72,< -I>,- 000, showing an excess of s9,orio,o<to in favor of the Government. The Reicmir System. The attention of Congress is earn- sti-. in vited to the necessity of thorough revision of our revenue system. Our internal reve nue laws and import system should be so adjusted as to bear most heavily on articles of luxury, leaving the necessaries of life as free from taxation as maybe consistent With the real wants of the Government. T.i mom ically administered, taxation wouil not then fall unduly on the man of moderate means, and while none would be entirely exempt from assessment all in proportion to their pecuniary abilities would contribute towards the support of the State. A modi fication of the internal revenue system, by a large reduction in the number of articles now subject to tax, would be followed hv re sults equally advantageous: to the citizen and the Government. It would render the execution of the law less expensive, and more certain, remove obstructions to indus try. lessen the temptations to evade the law, diminish the violations and frauds perpetra ted npon its provisions, make its operations less inquisitorial, and greatly reduce in num bers the army of tax gatherers created by (he system, who "take from *lie mouth of honest labor the bread it has earned." Retrenchment, reform and economy, should be carried into every branch of the publie service, that the expenditures of the Gov ernment may be reduced and the p ople re lieved from oppressive taxation. A sound currency should be restored, and the publie faith in regard to the national debt sacredly observed. The accomplishment of these important results, together with the restora tion of the Union of the States upon the principles of the Constitution, would inspire confidence at home and abroad in the sta bility of our institutions, and bring to the nation prosperity, peace and good will Depart mint Report*. The report of the Secretary of War ad interim exhibits the operations of the army and of the several Bureaus of the War De partment, The aggregate strength of our military force on the 30th of September last was 56,315. The total estimatefor military appropriations is $77,124,707 00, including a deficiency in last year's appropriation of $13,600,000 00. The payments at the Treasury on account of the service of the War Department, from fauuary Ist to Oc tober 29th, 1867, a period of ten month", amounted to 807,000. The expense* of the military establishment, as well as the numbers of the army, are now three times as great as they have ever been in time of peace, while the discretionary power is ves ted in the Executive to add millions to this expenditure by un increase of the army to the maximum strength allowed by the law. The comprehensive report of the Secre tary of the Interim- furnish l "- interesting information in reference to the important branches of tho public service connected * • % with his department, the mcnaneing atti tude of some of the warlike bands of Indi ans inhabiting the district of uountrv b<* twecn tbe Arkansas and Platte Hi vers and portions of Dakota territory, required the presence of a large military force in that re akin. Instigated by real or imaginary grievances the Indians occasionally commit ted acts of barbarous violence upon emi grants and our frontier sttlernent*. bu' a genera! Indian war ha* been providentially avoided. The Commissioners, under the act of 2oth of July, 1867, were inveted with full power to adjust existing difficulties, negotiate treaties with tho disaffected bands, and select for them reservations remote from the traveled routes between tho Mississippi and the Pacific. Tbey entered without de lay upon the execution of their trust, but have not yet made anv official report of their proceedings. It is of vital importance that our distant Territories should be exempt from Indian outbreaks, and that the con struction of the Pacific Railroad, an object of national importance, should not be inter rupted by hostile Indians. These objects, as well as tbe material in terests and the moral and intellectual im provement of the Indians, can be most effectually secured by concentrating them upon portions of country set apart for their exclusive use, and located at points remote from our highways and encroaching white settlements. Since tbe commencement of the second session of the Thirty-ninth Congress, five hundred and ten miles of road have been constmeted on the main line, and branches of the Pacific Railway line from Omaha an rapidly approaching the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, whilst tbe terroinu* of tbe last section of constructed road in Cli fornia. accepted by tbe Government on tb<- 24 tb day of October last, wa* but eleven miles distant from the summit of the Sierra Nevadas. The remarkable energy evinced by the companies offers tbe strongest assur ance that the completion of tbe road from Sacramento to Omaha will not be long de ferred. During the last fiscal year seven million, forty one thousand, one hundted and fourteen acres of public land were disposed of, and tbe cash receipts from sales and fee* exceeded by one half million dollars tbe sum realized from that source during the prece ding year. The amonnt paid to pensioners, including expenses of di*burseraoois. was $18,619,956 and thirty six thousand, four hundred and eighty two names were added to tbe rolls. The entire number of pensioners on the 30th of June last was one hundred and fifty five thousand, four hundred and seventv-four Eleven thousand, six hundred and fifty-five patents and designs were issued during tbe year ending September 30th. 1867. and at that date the balance in the Treasure to the credit of the patent fond, was $288,607. The report of the Secretary of tbe Navy states that we have seven squadron" actively and judiciouslv employed, underefficient and able commander", in protecting the persons and propertv of American citizen*, main taining the dignity and power of the Gov eminent, and promoting the eommerec and business interestsof ourcounlrymen in ever\ part of the world. Of the two hundred and thirty-eight v**el* composing th<' pres ent Navy of the United States, fifty six.k'ar tying five hundred and seven guns are in squadron service. During the year the number of vessels in commission lias been ] reduced to twelve, and there are thirteen 'PSS on squadron duty than there were at .the date of the last report. A large nuuiler ot vessels were commenced and in the course of construction when the war termi nated, and although Congress had made the i necessary appropriations for their comple tion the Department, has either suspended work upon them of limited the slow eomple tion of the steam ve.ssels so as to meet the contracts for machinery made with private establishments. The total expenditures of the Navy De partment for the fiscal year ending Jun- 30, 1867, were $31,034,011. No appropriations have been made or required since the close of the war for the construction and repair of vessels, for steam machinery, ordnance, pro visions. clothing, fuel, hemp, &e., the bal ances under these several heads having been more than sufficient for current expenditures. It should also be stated, to the credit ol the Department, that besides asking no appro priations for the above obiects for the last two years, the Secretary of the Navy on the 30th of September last, in accordence with tbe act of May 1, 1820, requested the Seere tary of the Treasury, to carry to the surplus fund the sum of sixty-four million* of dol lars, being the amount received from the sales of vessels and other war property, and the remnants of former appropriations. The report of the Postmaster General shows the business of the Postoffiee Depart ment and the condition of the postal service in a very favorable light, and the attention of Congress is called to its practical recom mendations. The receipts of the Depart ment for the year ending June 30, 1867, in eluding all special appropriations for sea and land service, and for free mail matter, were $19,978,693. The expenditures for all pur pose* were $19,235,483. leaving an unex pended balance in favor of the I epartnv:nt of $743,210, which can be applied towards the expenses of the Department for the cur rent year. The increase of postal revenue, independent of specific appropriation, for the year 1867, over that of 1866. was $850,- 040. The increase of revenue from the sale of postage stamps and stamped envelope*, was $783,404. The increase of expendi ture for 186 T, over those of the previous year, was owing chiefly to the extension of the land and ocean mail service. During the past year new postal Convention* have been ratified and exchanged with the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland, Belgi um, tbe Netherlands, Switzerland, the North German Union, Italy aud the Col onial Government at Hong Kong, reducing very largely the rates of ocean and land postages to and from, and within those countries. The report of the acting Com missioner of Agriculture presents tho condi tion, wants and progress of an interest em inently worthy the fostering care ot' Con gress, and exhibits a large measure of the useful results achieved during the year to which it refers Forei'jn Affairs. The re establish) :ent of peace at home and tho resumption of extended trade, trav el and commerce abroad, have served to in crease the number and variety of questions in the department of foreign affairs. None of these questions, however, have seriously disturbed our relations with other States. The Republic of Mexico, having been re lieved from foreign intervention, is earnestly engaged in efforts to re-establish her consti tutional system of government.. A good understanding continues to exist between our Government and the Republics of Hay ti and San Domingo, and our cordial rela tion* with the Central and South American States remain unchanged. The tender made in conformity with a resolution of Congress of the good offices of the Government, with a view to an amicable adjustment of peace between Brazil and her allies on one side, and Ramcnay on the other; and between Chili and her allies on the one side, and Spain on the other, though kindly received, has in neither case been fully accepted by the belligerents. Tbe war in the valley of the Patana is still vigorously maintained. On the Other hand actual hostilities between tbe Pacific States and Spain have been more than a year suspended. I shall on any proper occasion that may occur renew the conciliatory recommendations which have been already made. Brazil, with enlight ened sagacity and comprehensive sta tern an - ship, has opened the great channels of the Amazon and its tributaries to universal commerce. One thing more seems needful to assure a rapid-and cheering progress in South America. I refer to those peaceful babiU without which States and nations cannot, in this ago, well expect material prosperity or social advancement. The Exposition of Universal Industry at Paris has passed, and seems to have fully realized the high expectations of the French Government. If due allowance be made for the recent political derangement of in dustry here, the part which tbe United States has borne in this Exhibition of in vention and art tnay be regarded with very high satisfaction. During tho Exposition a conference was held of d legates from sev eral nation*, the United States being one. in which the inconveniences of commerce aud social intercourse, resulting from the diverse • tindard of money value, were very fully discussed, and plans were developed for es tablishing. by universal consent, a common principle for the coinage of gold. These conferences are expected to be renewed, with the attendance of tiiauv foreign States not hitherto represented. A report of these Interesting proceedings will be submitted to Congress, which will no doubt ju"tly appro ciate the great object, and be ready to adopt any measure which may tend to facilitate its ultimate accomplishments. (In the 25th of February, 1862, Congress declared by law that treasury notes without interest, au thorized by that act, should be legal tender inpayment for debts, public and private, within tbe Uuited States. An annual re mitt a nee of $3,000,000 less stipulated cx penees accrues to claimants under the con vontion with Spain in 1834. These remit mnces since the passage of that act have been paid in such notes; the claimants insist that the Government ought to require pay ment in coin. The subject maybe deemed worthy of your attention. No arrangement has as yet been reached for the settlement of our claims for British depredations upon the commerce of the United States. 1 have felt it my duty to decline the proposition of arbritration by tier Majesty's Government, because it ha* hitherto been accompanied by reservations and limitations incompatible with the rights, interest aud honor of our country. It is not <o be apprehended that Great Britain will persist in lier refusal to satisfy these just ind reasonable claims, which involve the *acred principle of non intervention, a prin ciple henceforth not more important to the United States than to all other commercial nations. Territorial Retention-—tin 1 f'est India Is lands. The West India Islands were settled and colonized by European States simultaneous ly with the settlement and colonization of the American continent. Most of the colo nies planted here became independent na tions in the close of the last and the begin ning of the present century. (Jar own country embraces communities which at one period were colonies of Great Britian,France, Spain, Holland. Sweden,_aud Russia. The people in the West Indies, with the excep tion of those of the Island of Hayti, have neither attained nor aspired to independ enee; nor have they become prepared for self-defence. Although possessing consid erahle commercial value they have been held by the several European States which colonized, or at some time conquered them, chiefly for purposes of military and naval strategy in carrying out European policy j and designs in regard to this continent. In ! our Revolutionary war ports and harbors in West India Island.*, were used by our ene my to the great injury and embarrassment of tbe United States. We bad the same experience in our second war with Great Britain. The same European policy for a lone rime excluded us even from trade with the West Indie*. While we were at peace with all nations in our recent civil war, the Rebels and their piratical and blockade breaking allies found facilities in the same ports for the work, which they too success fully accomplished. of injuring and devastu ting tlie commerce which we are now en gaged in rebuilding. We labored especially under this disadvantage, that European steam vessels, employed by our enemies, ! found friendly shelter, protection und sup-; plies in West Indian ports, while our own naval operations were necessarily carried on j from our own distant shore. ,1 Naval Outpost. There was then a universal fo< ling of the j want of an advanced naval out; o-t between : the Atlantic coa-t and Europe. The duty of] obtaining such an outpost peacefully ana j lawfully, while nei'ber doing no me nadir/ i injury to other States, earnestly engaged j the attention of the Executive Department ' before the close of the war, and it has not 1 been lost sight of rim - that time. A not entirely di**iuiilar naval want revealed itself during tbe same period on the Pacific coast. Hie required foothold there was fortunately ; *ecured by our late treaty with the Emperor ; of Russia, and it now seems imperative th it j the more obvious necessities of the Atlantic I coast should not be'less carefully provided ! for. A good and convenient port aud bar- I bor, eaiiahle of easy defence, will supply i that want. With the possessi mof such a station by the United States neither we uor j any other American nation need longer up prebend injury or offence from any tran- Atlantic enemy. 1 agree with our early state*men that the West Indie* naturally gravitate, and may lie expected ultimately to be absorbed by the Continental States, including our own. I agree with them al*o that it is wise to leave the questiou of such absorption to this process of natural political gravitation. The islands of St. Thomas, St. Johns, which constitute a pait of the group called the Virgin Island.*, seemed to offer lis advantages immediately desirable, while their acquisition could be secured in harmony with the principles to which I have alluded. A treaty has, therefore, been concluded with the King of Denmark for tbe cessions of those Islands, and will be submitted to the Senate fbr consideration. It will hardly be necessary to call the at tention of Congress to the subject of provi ding for the payment to Russia of tbe sum stipulated in the treaty fur the cession of Alaska, possession having been formally delivered to onr Commissioner. The Ter ritory remains for the j resent in care of" a military force, awaiting such civil organiza tion as shall De directed by Congress. Naturalized Citizen*. The annexation of many small German States to Prussia, and the reorganization of that country under a new and liberal Consti tution, have induced me to renew tbe effort to obtain a just and prompt settlement of the long vexed question concerning the claims of foreign States for military service from their subjects naturalized in the United States. In connection with this subject the attention of Congress is respectfully calle,'. to a singu'ar and embarrassing conflict of laws. The Ex ecutive Department of this Government has hitherto uniformly held, asit now holds that naturalization, in conformity with the Con stitution and law* of the United States, ab solves the recipient, from his native allegi ance. The Courts of Great Britian hold that allegiance to the British Crown is indefeasi ble, and is not absolved by our laws of natur alization. British Judges cite courts and law authorities of the United States in sup i port of that theory against the position hi Id bv the executive authority of the LFnited States. This conflict perplexes the public mind concerning the rights of naturalized citizens and impairs the national authority abroad. I called attention to this subject in my la*; annual message, and now again respectfully appeal to Congress to declare the national will unmistakably upon this im portant ouestion. The abuse of our laws by the clandestine prosecution of the African slave trade from the American port.* by American citizen*, has altogether ceased, and under exi-ting circumutances no ap prehensions of its renewal in this part of the world are entertained. Under these circum stances it becomes a question whether we shall not propose to bcr .Majesty's Govern went a puspt'naitin or di.x'ontinuancq of th<j stipulations for uiaiotaiainif a naval force f< r the suppression of that trade.

The year ISflfi will lung lie retneiul>erad* for It* settlement of the boundary question between Aristooracy of Color end Impartial Human Lib-* erty. The War of the Rebellion bring closed, we have now to deride whether the fundamental idea which impelled and justified the Rebellion stall dominate over our whole country, molding her in stitutions and shaping her destiny. If it tie true that God has SOT created ail men, but only all White men, iif His own image, and made thein equal in political and civil rights, then it is aworld w sde calamity that Grant did not surrender to Lee at Appomattox ; and " The Lost Cause,"trod den into mire under the hoofs of Sheridan's rough riding cavalry, not only should but will he regain ed in Constitutional Conventions aud at the bal lot-boxes. If the Black race, because they are Black, should be excluded from the jury-box and repelled from the ballot-box, then Btonewall -lack son ought to head the roll of American martyrs, einblaaoned high above the names of Warren and Mareer and Pulaski; i.f Ellsworth, Lyon, Baker, Boynoldr, Wadsworlb, Kcarnv, fedgwick, and Mci'bcrsun. It is difficult to argue with a blind, bos died prejudice, grounded in ignorance and fortified by Self-conceit. Devoid of reason, it is hardly QUl cti alilo to reason. But millions who would listen unmoved to appeals based upon Justice and Hu manity can be stirred by facts which effect their own interest and safety. The naked truth that every Si uthern State reconstrncted on the White basi* is to day a R< bel State—shaped and ruled by ineu .who execrated Lincoln's reluctant and tardy resistance to the Rebellion as a causeless and criminal aggression, and profoundly rejoiced over Bull Run as tl eir victory—will prove invin cible, if we can but bring it home to the appre hension of every loyal voter. There is no para mount question of good faith or gratitude to the Blacks. Their votes are as necessary to the pre ponderance of White loyalty as to their own pro tection and security. Reconstruct the South on the White basis, and every one of the fifteen States which held Slaves iu 1860 will be intensely, overwhelminglj C .pperbeud thenceforth and ei empire. Allow to-day the plea that the Blacks are ignorant and degraded, and those whom you there by clothe with power will take good care that the plea shall be as \ alid and well -grounded a century hence us it now is. Public Education and Civil Rights for the Freedmen can only be achieved and maintained through the ballot. "We a c for Negro Suffrage—-the way they suffered in New Orleans," was the inscription on a banner borne in a late Conservative or Democratic procession in Baltimore; and the spirit which dictated that avowal is still rampant in the -South. But for what is stigmatised as Military Despotism, it would daily average by outrage and infliction what it deems negro treachery to the Southern cause. 1 HK TRIBUNE has decliucdto he lured or turned aside from the Main Question, it has preais teutly refused to swell the clamor for vengeance on the defeated Rebels, whether by execution or by confiscation ; and one of its strong reasons for this course is a conviction that no drop of Rebel blood could be coolly, deliberately shed without e-sentisdly clouding the pros poet" of securing the Right of Suffrage to the Blacks. Defying the marine** of passion and the blindness of short sighted misconception, il has demanded Recon struction on the basis of Universal Amnesty witb Impartial Suffrage, iu perfect consciousness of the tart that it thereby alienated thousands who had been its zealous supporters and life long patrons. The hour of its complete vindication cannot be far distant.
