iue presidents mess a or
Xu first annual. message of ths soldier Presi
dent will exercise ft tranquillizing and benefi
cial influence upon the country. "While it
erades no important question, and abounds
in suggestions, it contains nothing calculated
to exoite alarm and foreshadows no now
dangers.
Its references to foreign questions justify
the belief of Grant's supporters that while he
would jealously guard the national honor and
energetically protect and promote the national
interests, he would carefully aroid unneces
sary wars, and spare no proper efforts to
maintain peace with distant nations, while he
was establinhing it at home, lie has neither
forgotten, forgiven, nor misunderstood the
polioy pursued by Great Britain during the
late ciril war. His froqnont allusions to this
subject, and his earnest condemnation of tho
Johnson-Clarendon treaty, show thut it has
made a deep impression upon hitu. And yet
he manifests no feohug of vengeance, lie
invites an amicable and fair adjustment, but
he gives utterance to the sentiments of mil
lions of his countrymen when he says that "a
sensitive people, conscious of their power,
are more at ease under a great wrong wholly
nnatoned, than under the restraint of a set
tlement which satisfies neither their ideas of
justice nor their grave sense of the grievance
they have sustained."
In regard to Cuba he 1ms evidently resolved
that, while he will enforce tho neutrality laws
and protect our interests in the West Indies,
he will leave to Congress, where it properly
belongs, nndor existing circumstances,
the responsibility of deciding whether the in
surgents shall be recognized either as belliger
ents or as an independent nation. 'Whatever
may be our wishes or our sympathies, w
cannot conceal the fact that the Cubans
have not made such an irresistible show of
strength as would fairly entitle them to de
mand recognition from our Executive, and
the best claim that can be established in their
behalf is that their long-continued resistance
to the Spaniards may justify Congress in
awarding it.
Another illustration of Grant's determina
tion to avoid unnecessary broils with foreign
countries is given by his reference to the
bogus claimants to American citizenship,
who, after being naturalized here, return to
their native homes in Europe, reside there
for years, and after having practically dis
carded their allegiance to the United States,
olaim our protection in time of war, to avoid
being prossed into military service. We had
an overabundant supply of sneaks of this de
scription in our own land at the time of the
draft, who besieged the British consuls for
certificates of British citizenship, after having
claimed in time of peace that they were
thoroughly Americanized; and tho Pre
sident's familiarity with these prooeed
ings has no doubt strengthened his contempt
of the false sentimentality which would
jeopardize the national peace to protect men
who are alike unfaithful to all governments
and ready to change their allegiance with
every change of circumstances. While it is
our true policy to protect at every hazard
all bona 'fide citizens, adopted as well J as
native, it is folly to jeopardize our welfare for
the class whom he justly places beyond the
pale of our sympathies.
Although the message does not dwell at lengt
upon the leading domestic questions of the
day, there is no want of explicitness. The
President favors a resumption of specie pay
ments,but deems it neither practicable nor de
sirable to enforce premature resumption, and
the business interests of the country will
breathe freer and deeper after the policy he
recommends is fully understood. While he
does not discuss the vexed question of
free trade or protection, he exhibits
aa earnest desire ' to at once extend
the commerce of the country and to cherish
its vast manufacturing interests. He inti
mates that ho will probably send a special
message to Congress hereafter, directing at
tention to various plans for the extension of
our commerce, which he deems the interest
most seriously injured by the war, and in
most need of immediate assistance. But he
wisely looks to the West Indies, Mexico,
South America, and to Asia as the fields of
the future expansions of our shipping interests,
rather than Europe, which is becoming less
and less dependent upon our agricultural pro
ducts, while our demand for European manu
factures diminishes. In this connection the
ship canal over the Isthmus of Darien
becomes a work of vast national importance;
and while it is not proposed to burden the
Treasury with any portion of the cost of its
construction, it is highly proper that the Gov
ernment should have the preliminary surveys
made and grant every needed diplomatic aid.
Reconstruction, which was lately an absorb
ing and overshadowing topic, is now so well
advanoed that it possesses only secondary lui
portanoe. The references to it in the Message,
however, show that the President is deter
mimed to fully redeem the Republican pledges
of the last oampaign. While he is anxious
to'prontote the prosperity of the South, and
tsady to forgive past offenses, he is resolved
to crush any new symptoms of rebellion, and
to insist upon a faithful compliance with th
terms of final adjustment prescribed by Con
gress. He reasserts his desire "tosaoure protec
tion to the person and property of the citizen of
the United States in each and every portion
of vox common oonatry, wherever he may :
chance to move, without refer anoe to origi
nal nationality, religion, color, or politios,
demanding of him only obedienoe to the laws
and proper respect for the rights of others;"
and the increasing disposition of the South to
treat the freedmen justly and to weloome
Northern emigrants, gives good reason for
the hope that a few years hence American
citizenship will prove an inviolable safe-eon-dnct
and passport for settlers or travellers of
every color, in every section of the republic
The suooess whioh has attended the efforts
of the President to establish a more faithful
and effective mode of oolleoting the internal
revenue gives a foroe to his request for a total
repeal of the Tenure-of-Offloe act whioh it
would not otherwise possess, but there is per
haps greater danger of a disagreement with
Congress on this subject than on any other,
except the proposition to abolish the franking
privilege, which is justly characterized as
"an abuse from which no one rocoives a com
mensurate advantage."
RETORT OF THE SECRETARY OF
THE TREASURY.
Trot sensational rumors predicting precipitate
resumption, which have inflicted great da
mage upon many important business inte
rests, and which we have heretofore exposod
and denounced in these columns, will reooive
a quietus in the official report of thoSocrelary
of tho Treasury. No man can read it without
clearly Booing that resumption is a thing of
tho future rather than the present, and that
the most that can be prudently attempted in
this direction now is the commencement of
serious preparations for a return to specie
payments. When the outstanding debt is
funded at a lower rate of interest, and placed
in the hands of capitalists whose faith in
our solvency will not be shaken by every
new political excitement; when American in
dustry is placed upon such a basis that our
exports exceed our imports, and our ships
regain a fair proportion of our carrying trade;
and when the paper promises of our Govern
ment are fully at par abroad as well ns at
home, it will bo time enough to undertake
tho task of redeeming them in coin. Tho
manner in which this wliolo subject is dis
cussed should set at rest for ever tho unne
cessary alarms which have agitated all busi
ness circles, and totally dispel tho fears of
enterprising men that they would be suddenly
stricken down by their own Government.
The Treasury has done well, and is doing
well. It could desiro no hotter showing than
tho excess of roceipti over expenditures dur
ing the last fiscal year of fifty millions of
dollars, and tho estimated excess of receipts
during the present fiscal year of more than
one hundred millions of dollars. In devising
laws for the reduction of this surplus in fu
ture years, tho unpopularity of the income
tax and tho pressing demand for its abroga
tion should be remembered by Congress. It
has proved in this country, as in England, fear
fully unjust and unequal in its practical ope
ration, notwithstanding its theoretical fair
ness, and its inquisitorial nature has mado it
exceedingly odious. Whatever maybe done
with other taxes, this, at least, should be re
pealed or left to expire by limitation.
The Secretary of the Treasury is not re
gardless of tho necossity of increased bank
circulation in some sections of the country,
especially the South and West, and yet he
treats this subject in a very cautious manner,
being evidently anxious to avoid the creation
of now barriers to resumption. He ackno w
ledges that, while a large amount of currency
has already beon withdrawn from the North
to supply the wants of the Southern States,
their necessities will steadily increase for
the next two years; he anticipates as a result
of the completion of the Pacific
Railroad that currency - instead of
coin will become the circulating
medium of the Pacific coast, and that thirty
millions of dollars will be required for this
purpose alone; and yet he recommends that
he be empowered to "reduce the circulation
of United States notes in an amount not ex
ceeding two millions of dollars in any one
month." He considers that the extent of the
over iBsue of paper during the war can only
be accurately ascertained after the credit of
the Government is fully re-established abroad
as well as at home; but meanwhile, if the
business of the country is not facilitated by
a sufficient supply of a circulating medium of
some kind, that credit may itself be unneces
sarily injured.
GRANT ON SALARIES.
President Gbant in the concluding para
graph of his message alludes to the inadequate
salaries of some of the most important officers
of the Government, no probably thinks, and
very justly, that his own compensation is en
tirely too small for the proper maintenance
of the dignity of his office, but as a specimen
case he only alludes to the Justices of the
Supreme Court, who have had no increase, of
salary for fifteen years, while their labors have
been largely augmented, and the price of
living at least doubled. The President with a
touch of sarcasm calls the attention of Congress
to the fact that twice during the same period
it has found it neoessary to increase largely
the compensation of its own members, and
he expresses a hope that the duty whioh it
owes to the other departments of the Gov
ernment will reoeive due consideration.
Members of Congress are able to see very
plainly the necessity for an advance of salary
when their own interests are concerned, but
when it comes to other people the importance
of eoonomy looms up in gigantic propor
tions. If Congress would do away with the
perquisites of its members in the way of
"stationery" whioh includes every conceiv
able article from pens, ink, and paper to fine
tooth combs, tooth brushes, suspenders, cra
vats, gloves, lemons, whisky, cigars, and a
thousand and one other trifles of like char
acter enough would be saved to pay the
President and other chief officers of
the Government salaries in proportion
to the'extent and importance of their ser
vices. It is certain that their salaries are at
the present time disgracefully small, the Pro
vident receiving no more than was paid to the
first incumbent of the offloe at the foundation
of the Government, more than three-qaarters
of a century ago. President Grant is not
personally interested in thU matter, as under
the Constitution his own emoluments cannot
be inoreased during his term of offloe, and his
reoommendation ought to receive the atten
tion of Congross, although it is doubtful
whether it will.
Thx Popb does not believe that there is any
good in newspapers, and in effect he has inti
mated in very plain tenns that he considers
them to be instruments in the hands of Satan
for corrupting the souls of mon. It is not to
be wondered at, therofore, if he discounte
nances such troublosorae fellows as reporters
and correspondents. The Pope h is no dis
position to be interviewed, and he does not
intend that the proceedings of his big counoil
shall be given to tho world in any other shape
than will conduce to the best interests of the
Church. Tho correspondent of tho London
Times has been prohibited from entering
the Papal, States, and the readers of that
journal will therefore be obliged to
content themsolvos with such in
formation about tho council as can be
pickod up by chance. This is perhaps a pru
dent step on the part of the Roman authori
ties; for there will probably be some sharp
thincs siiid bv isolates who are not in svm-
O A I
pathy with the ultramontane party, which it
would be just as well for tho Church if the
world at large knows nothing about. If the j
TitiuH corret-qioudent wore a sharp Yaukeo,
he would not bo discomfited, howevor, by
such a mishap as this, but he would manufac
ture out of his own brain a report of tho
proceedings that would bo just as interesting
to the majority of his readers as if it wore
genuine.
Til E INCOME TAX IS GREAT MUTATX.
An analysis of the revi-niio of tho ilrltlsli (lovnrn
ment from the Income tar, year after year, shows
that the number of persons cliarfjrd to the tax umlor
schedule D, the seheUulo for profits or professions,
trades, and employments, becomes larger awl turgor,
and the Incomes charged with tho tax aro greater
and greater.. In the three flnauelnl years cikIIii'? re
spectively on the 6th of April, IstlS, lstifi, ami 1SG7,
the number of persons clwgeil under this schedule
was as follows, the return from Wales lx'iiijr in

The total amount of income charged with the tax
under this seheilule during the same pcrlud was as
follows:

K(iiul to .ro,6i.s,sso tiMio,;ys,475 $wi,o;iu.'
The apparent decrease iu 1807 arises from the
course first adopted iu that year of excluding from
this return tho income of public companies, etc.,
and restricting it to incomes of Individual persons.
The Income charged with the tax, but thns excluded
from this return for the lluaucial year lsta-67,
amounted to jCts,ai-2,no8 In England, i,no4,nr& in
Scotland, A'S'in.ottT m Ireland, being X14,837,9S0 for
the United Kingdom, so that tho Income charged
with tho tax in iwid-67 was greater than that charged
la either of the two preceding years, and amounted
to 107,8M5,S51 in England, 12,041,501 In Seotlaud,
XS,92C,4&n iu Ireland, making 1,jr,823,507 for the
I'Dltod Kingdom, besides 32,229,121. the iDonmo of
railways, mines, lrou works, etc., transferred In and
since the year 1S66-07 from schedule A to schedule D.
But, still restricting the analysis to the Income of
individual persons charged with Income tax under
schedule D, we find that the returns for the finan
cial year 1866-47 show an average Income for the
persons so charged of rather more than 230 In
England, rather more than X2S& Iu Scotland, rather
more than 277 in Ireland; in the whole I" tilted
Kingdom the average for the iis3,4.V2 persons charged
under this schedule (on incomes amounting to 110,
9SS,C27) was rather more than X'.'DO each. The differ
ence In the average for the three kingdoms Is small,
and is to be found rather In the number of persons
paying the tax than in the average amount paid.
TaklDg the Registrar-General's estimate or popula
tions find that in the financial year 1806-67 Income
tax under schedule D was charged In the United
Kingdom on about one In every seventy-eight per
sons; but iu England it was charged on about one
In every sixty-five persons, In Scotland on about one
In eighty-two, in Ireland on only one In about
two hundred and eighty-six persons. As the
return for the financial year 1863 Is the first
which has been restricted te Individual personi pay
ing the tax, excluding companies, a comparison in
detail between that and previous year would not
always afford a correct result, though it Is chiefly
the classes or income above 5000 that are affected
by tho exclusion of companies; but the return for
1800-67 possesses special Interest from its being
strictly an account of the lncouij of individual per
sons. It shows that In that year Income tax. was
charged in England on 40,719 persons having Incomes
not exceeding 100, chargeable under schedule D
with other sources or income, as rents, shares in
companies, etc, bringing them within the purview
or the income tax their united incomes chargeablo
under this schedule amounting to 2,338,795; in
Scotland on 17,326 persons with Incomes under 100,
amounting to 63S, 702; In Ireland on 802S persons
with Incomes amounting to 179,182, In the follow
ing table is given the number of persons In England,
Scotland, and Ireland, taxed upon Incomes wlthtu

The total income of the 64 personi in England,
whose individual Incomes exceoded 60,000 was
4,894,694, an average of about 97,000 or $175,000
each ; the total Income or the 9 in Scotland, 666,207,
an average or 74,000 or S70,000 each ; the total In
come or the 4 In Ireland, 299,420, an average or
74,850 or 1374,260 each, almost identical with that
