Tfce President's Message.
Bubwbbbi we print la fall this afternoon a
dooumnt which Andrew Johnson stales the
"message of the President of the United
States, to the two houses of Coogress, at the
eommenoement of the ttcond regular $esion
of the Fortieth Coogresa." Thta aentenoe,
wbiok la trausorlpt of the title page of the
document, as printed at the Treasury Depart
ment, la a faithful Index to the whole.
Andrew Johnson has not learned anything
daring the few mouths which have elapsed
since Congress was aotire'y engaged la the
labors entrusted to it by the people. The
war for the Union has not Impressed hU
stubborn will with any of lu teachings; the
election of General Grant to be hU suooeiaor
Is ignored by him aa an event of no praotioal
sign fluar.ce. By styling the present seaaloo
of Congress the "second regular session,"
he attempts, in hU feeble way, to oast a slur
upon it, to question the legality of its exist
ence, and to intimate that the whole Amnri
oan people are of the same mind as himself.
As soon as we get beyond the formal Intro
duotory words, this spirit crops oat in fall
foroe. The President declares, as he has doae
a thousand and one times before, that all oar
domestic tribulations are directly traoeable to
violations 'of the organlo law' and to
exoeeelve legislation by Congress. Again does
be charge fall tilt upon the reconstruction
policy of Congress. Referring to the Recon
struction aots of the past three years, he says:
"After aair trial, they have tuMimliiUly ailed
and proved peinlemin lu lueir rrsuin, aua
there seems to be tut goHl reason way tuoy
should longer remain upon ibe statute oooa."
After thus again aasertiog his determina
tion to adhere to "my policy" until the last
breath of his political lite has left his body, he
pronounces his customary eulogy upon the
Constitution that "Magna Charta of Ameri
can rights" whish he deems, as he lias so
frequently assured us in the past, entirely
adequate to every national emergenoy. Then
comes a mild protect agaiust the interference
by Congress with his constitutional functions
aa Commander-in chief of the army, aud fiually
a grand flourish of his trumpet against all that
baa been objeotionable to him in the legislation
of Congress since the assassination of Mr. Ltn
Llnooln. Confonndiog himself with the Ame
rican people, as he has so frequently done
heretofore, and interpretiug the result of the
reoent Presidential ooutest as an endorsement
of Seymour and Blair and of all the iniquities
of the platform dictated by Wade Hampton at
Tammany Ball, Mr. Johnson thus proceeds to
state his belief:
"It is believed that the repeal of all xncli
laws would bo accept uJ tne Amerloau hjoihh
aa at least a purlin I i tlu o 10 ln mnd.tmemt.itl
prluci plead ttie Uovet nineut. and au lucll.'a
lion that bereaf't-r ibe UousiHutloa in t bo
made the nation's safe aud unerriug gut'le."
The next subject whiuh engages the Presi
dential pen is that of the fioaoces. This por
tion of the message bears internal evidence of
having been prepared, as far as the figures
are oonoerned, by the famous "Arithmetic
Man" of the New York World. Not satisfied
with a grand outburst of indignation against
the reckless extravagance of Congress, Mr..
Johnson takes up the yearly expenditures ol
the Government when it constituted a petty
Republio of three millions or so of inhabi
tants, and arrives at' the following startling
percentages: Inoreaae in papulation since th
beginning, 868 per cent.; increase in the an
nual expenditures daring the same periol,
taking the estimates for 1SJ9 as a basis, SG18
per cent. which looks very muoh as
if bis Bxoellenoy had multiplied the
the former percentage by ten and mtda a
slight mistake in his unite. Carefully leaviog
the terriflo civil war oat of the calculation,
and Ignoring the necessary increase in our
national expenditures which it baa entailed
upon as, Mr. Johnson likewise draws a start
ling comparison between the years 18G0 and
18G9, arriving at the following satiefautory
result: Inorease in population in nine yearsi
21 per cent.; inorease in expenditures daring
the same period, 489 per oent. which id easily
aocomplhthed by squaring 21 and adding a
score or two of units to oover up the arith
metical devioe. As part and parcel of this
same intricate figure-work, Mr. Johnson suo
oeeda in making up the following table, setting
forth the comparative burdens of supporting
the Federal Government at the three epochs
in its existence which have such a miraculous
charm for bU arithmetical mind:
In 1791.......................... ..S1 oo per capita.
In 1800 M a 00 '
in law..-......... .78M "
It is a matter ot surprise that the Inorease
ptr capita of 100 per cent., from 1791 to 18 HO,
escaped the attention of our Presidential
mathematician, but snohi la the fact.
Having thus paved the way for an assault
upon the national debt, Mr. Johnson, deter
mined "To run amuck and tilt at all be meets,"
pounoea down upon that much abused insti
tution, and demands that it shall be forth
with annihilated, for the reason that a perma
nent debt will most surely sap the founda
tion of our republican system. lie la of the
opinion that the holders of our national
securities have already received from the
Government more than the amount of their
original investments, measured by a gold
atandard; and, having a holy horror of uiury,
thinks that the nation's creditors should not
Ineibt on the strict fulfilment of the letter of
the bonds. "The tlx per cent interest," says
the President, "now paid by the Goveroment
should be applied to the red notion of the
principal in genii-annual instalments, which,
In eixtten years and (right months, would
IluUite tie entire debt' reatore oar
"wonUd prosperity," and all that tort of
thing.
Oar foreign relations are then touched upon,
but we are told nothing satisfactory eb t the
difficulty with Paraguay; while the Alabama
claims, and all other subjeots of dispute with
Great Britain, are disposed of in ten lines, with
the bope that they will be satisfactorily settled
during the present session of the Senate. The
Monroe dootrine la also fulminated In all its
Lgrandenr, la this fashion:
'OnmprebenMve national policy would seam
to anciinb tno acqqlatiton and iooorpnratloa
In l our Frdcral Uu Ion of the aeveral atljacoot
continental and Invrjiar cotamaonit a an
speedllt an It can be dooe peaontnlly, lrfully.
and without any vlolutlou of naltoual Juailoe,
faiib or bonor.'T
The message closes with another reoom
mendation to tinker the Constitution accord
ing to Mr. Johnson's ideas as previously enun
ciated. Altogether, it is Just auch a document
as the Amerioan people have a right to expeot
from his pen, and la the Attest, stalest, anl
most unprofitable specimen of heavy litera
ture which baa of late been given to the
world.
The Report of the Secretary f Wr.
SiCHETABT 8 soman's report of the opera
tions of the War Department during the past
year is a satisfactory exhibit of efficient and
economical administration. The strength of
the army on the 30th of September last was
48,081, which will be reduced by the 1st of
January, by the expiration of term of service
alone, to about 43,000. No rendetvous are
now open exo-pt for oavalry. It ia expeoted
that dnring the next year the infantry fore4
will be still further reduced.
With regard to the signal service, the Secre
tary reports that provision haa been made for
fuih general instruction In military telegraph
ing and signaling as may be necessary for the
military service, and by concert with the
officers of the navy nearly similar courses of
study and practice in these branches have
been adopted at West Point and Annapolis. A
drill with a field electric telegraph has been
introduced at West Point, and asohool of tele-,
graphing and signaling haa been established
at Poit Greble, in.Maryland.
The expenditnres in the Quartermaster's
Department during the fiscal year ending Juae
SO, 18C8, including claims for stores taken
for the me of the army during the war, were
$36,50G,3&l-53. Claims for property taken
during the war have been allowed to the
amount of $500,313 28; rejected, $2, 054,430 33;
still pending, $G,905,G!)1 IS. In the national
cemeteries 316,233 remains of soldiers have
been collected, of which 175 .764 are identified.
The total cost baa been about $2,700,000.
Subsistence to the value of over $630,000
has been supplied to the Freedmen'a Bureau,
and to the value of more than $370,000 for the
support of Indians a large decrease in both
instances. In the settlement of claims for
commutation of rations of Union soldiers
while prisoners of war, $134 056 have baen
expet ded. Claims for supplies taken for the
use of the army during the war, to the
amount of nearly $3,000,000, have been re
ceived, of which nearly $200,000 have been
allowed, $630,01)0 are awaiting decision, and
the rest have been rejected.
The disbursements for the Pay Department
during the last fiscal year have been: For the
regular army, $17,803,968 53; for the Military
Academy, $109,199 04; and to ' volunteers,
$42,076,444 08, a total of $60,069,011-65. The
disbursements for reconstruction purposes
have been $2,261,415 02, and there remains
an available balance of $467,026-46, which it
is believed will cover all future expenses.
Dnring the year claims for additional bounty
were allowed to the nnmbsr of 241,972, in
volving an expenditure of $23,049,157-78.
The total disbursements oo these
claims, fcinoe the date of the act,
have been $37,764,774-78, to which
the claims settled by the aooouotiog
officers of the Treasury being added makes
the aggregate -amount over $54,000,000. The
expense of settling these claims has been
kept within five-sixths of one per cent. The
Secretary makes the judicious suggestion,
that the 4th of March next be fixed by law
as the date beyond which no more claims will
be received.
Large reductions of the officers and agents
of the Freedmen'tf Bureau have been made,
and arrangements are in progress to close it
np by the first of January, exoept the educa
tional and claim divisions. The total expendi
tnres of the Bureau for the fiscal year were
$3,977,041-72, and the balance in hand was
$3, 622,007 P9.
The Military Aoademy at West Point is
conducted in a satisfactory manner, and Seo
retary Schofield states that the oharges onos,
but no longer, directed againi t the institution,
of its alleged costliness, exclusiveness, aud the
disloyalty of its graduates,are refuted by facts
and figures, among the most interesting of
which are the statements of the Board of
Visitors that, during the late war, of the
graduates from all the Southern States, one
half remained loyal; of the graduates from the
actual Rebel States, more than one-fourth re
mained loyal; and that of the graduates en
gaged on the side of the Union one-fifth lost
their lives.
The Artillery School organized at the olose
of 1867 by order of General Grant, and esta
blished at Fortress Monroe, it is believed will
supply a long-felt want aud prove greatly
beneficial to the service.
The actnal current expenses of the War
Department for the last fiscal year were
C8, 743,094 70, to which is to be added the
sum of $9,901,403 43, old war debts paid,
making the total expenditures of the depart
ment $78,704,501-14. The appropriation for
the present fiscal year was $35,400,55747. It
is estimated that $65,032,388 85 will be re
quired for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1870. There will be a surplus of $60,240,221-81
from unexpeuded appropriations to be paid
into the Treasury at the close of the present
fisoal year.
Genera1 Grant, In a letter eubmlttlng the
reports of the military commands, earnestly'
renews bis reoommendatioa ef last year, that
the oontrol of the Indians be transferred to
the War Department. The Indian Pease
Commission created by Congress last year, of
which Geneial Sherman was a member, gave'
the nnanimens opinion that peaoa with the
Indians east of the Rooky Mountains could
only be secured by their oolleotlon on reser
vations and maintenance by the Government
till able to provide for themselves. General
Sherman believes the plan of the oommUsion la
the only means of saving the Indians from
total annihilation, and he urges upon Con
gress its Immediate adoption. Meanwhile he
proposes to protect the Missouri river traffi j
and the Paoiflo Railroad with Judicious care;
to gather the wandering bands of Sioux to the
reservation seleoted north of Nebraska, and
feed and protect them to the extent of his
means; and to destroy or punish to the ex
tent of his power thj hostile Iudians, until
they are prepared to go and remain upon the
reservations assigned them at Fort Ctbb.
This double policy of peaoe within the reser
vations and war without must soon. In his
opinion, bring matters to a determlnauon.
