WASIIINGTON, Dec. 6, 1869. CONGITATULATOItY, To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: . • • In coming before you for the first time as Chief Magistrate of this great nation, it IS with gratitude fo the Giv er of, all good for the many benefits we enjoy. We are blessed with peace at Inane and are without entangling alliances• abroad to forebode trouble. With a territory unsurpassed in fer tility; of an area equal to,' the abund ant supporter fifty millions of people, and abounding in every variety of useful material, in quantity sufficient to supply the world .for generations With abundant crops; with variety of climate adapted to the production of every species of earth's riches, and suited to the habits„ tastes, and re quirements of every living thing; with a population of forty millions of free people, all speaking one lan guage, with facilities for every mor tal to acquire an education;.wlth in stitutions closing to none the avenues to fame or any blessing of fortnno that may be coveted; with freedom of the put pi t, the press, and the school; with a revenue flowing into the na tional 'treasury beyond the require melds .of the Government supply; harniony is being rapidly restored Within our own border; manufactur ers, hitherto unknown In our country; are springing up In all directions, producing a degree of Natimuil inde penitence, unequaled by that of any other Power; these hicsgings and county others aro entrusted to your awe and mine for safe keeping for the brief period of our tenure-of-office. In a 'short time we must each of us return to . the people who have con ferred upon us our honors, and ac count to them for our stewardship. earnestly desire that neither you nor I may be condemned by a free tind'enliglieued constituency, nor by our own conseiences. THE PAST SITPATION. Emerging front a rebellion of gi gantic magnitude. aided, .ILS it was' by the sympathy and assistance of _Nations with which. we are nt peaCe, eleven States of the Union were, four years ago, hlt without legal State governments,t a debt had been min traeted. American commerce was al most driven front the seas, the indus try of etre half of the country had been taken from the control of the capitalist and placed where all la bor rightfully belongs, in the keeping of the laborer. IVILVT ILAS IIZEN ACCOMPLISILED The work of restoring the State Clovernments loyal to the Union, of protecting and fostering free labor, and providing means for paying the intert on the public debt has receiv ed ample attention from Congress. Although your efforts have not met with the success in all particulars that might have been desired, yet on the !whole', they have ban more-stm cesqul than amid haVe been reason ahly auticipited. Seven States which passed ordinances of sec sion have been fully restored to their places In the 'Union. THE CASE OF GEORGIA.. The eighth—Georgia—held an elec tion at which she ratified a Constitu tine republican in form, elected a GoVernor, members of Congrew State Legislature, and all other offices re quirtsl. The. Governor Wll9 duly In stalled and the. Legislature met and performed all, the nets then required of them by the reconstruction acts of I Congress. Subsequently, however, 1 -fn vlleletjpts-of4hektknitstitut had just rtititiedos" since decided-by the Supreme Court of the State, they unseated the colored members of the Legislature, and admitted to seats some members who are disqualified by the third clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, an article which they • themselves had contributed i :Under these circumstances, I would submit to you whether it would not be wise, with out delay; to enact a law authorizing the Governor of Georgia to convene the members otiginally elected to the Legislature, requiring each member to take the'oath presented by the Re construct ion Act, and none to be ad mitts I who are ineligible. I= Under the third clause of the Four: teenth Aniendment the freedmen tinder the protection which they have received are making rapid pro gro-s in learning, and no complaints are heard of lack of industry on their part when they receive fair remune ration fur their labor. I= The means provided for paying the interest on the public debt, with all thi. other expenses of the tiovern went, are more than ample. IJEC.I.IIs:E (11, The loss of our commerce is the on- Iv result. of the late rebelliozy.which has not received sufficient attention frinn you. TO this subject I call your earnest attention. 1 will not now suggest, plans by which this ob jeet may be effected, but will, 'if ne cessary, make it the subject o f a spe cial mes.sageduring the sc..ssion of Cpngres..4. EiMEEMI At the March term, Congress z by joint resolution, authorized the Exec utive to order elections in the States of Virginia. Mississippi and Texas; to submit to them the constitutions which each had previously, in con vention framed, and submit the con stitution, either entire or in seining°. parts, to be voted upon at thelliscre lion of the Executive. Under this authority elections were called. In Virginia the elcetion took place on the oth of July, 1409. The Governor and Lieutenant Governor elect have been installed. The Legislature met and did till tequired by the resolution and by all the reconstruction acts of Congress, and abstained from all doubtful authority. 1 recommend that her Senators and ltepre , vntatives be received, and that the State be fill ly restored to its place in the family of ~hates. • TEXAS ANI) Elections were called in Mississippi end Texas to commence on the :10th of November, 1869, and to last two flays in Mississippi and four days" in Texas. The elections have taken place, hut the result 1s- not known. 'll is to be hoped the acts of the Leg islaturts of these States, when they meet, will be such as to receive your iapproval, and thus close the work of reconstruction. • sTATE OF THE CURRENc., Among the evils growing out of the rebellion and not yet referred to is that of an irrdcemable currency. It is an evil which I hope will receive your most earnest attention. It is a duty, ,- Nand one of the highest duties of the Government, to secure to the citizens a medium. of exchange of fixed unverying value. This implies a return ton specie basis, mid no sub stitute for it tan be devised. I tshould be commentisi now, and reached nt the earliest practicable moment con sistent with a fair regard to the in terest of the debtor class. GRADUAL APPROACH TO RESC.M TION. Iniuudude regunpt ion, if predica ble, would not be desirable. It would compel the debtor class to . pay boy owl their contracts the prenduin on gold at the date of their purchase, and would bring ruin and bankrupt cy to thousand.

THE TREASURY. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury shows, the receipts of the Government for the tiscat year end ing June 30th, 1869, to be $870,943,117; and the expenditures, including. In terest, bounties,&e., to be $34490,497. The estimates' tor, the ensuing year are more favorable to the Govern ment and will no doubt show :i largo decrease of the public debt. The ; veipts in the Treasury, beyond' ex- i penditures,have exceeded the amount nect...ssary to place to the credit of rtho sinking fund as provided by law. To lock up the surplus in the Treasury and withhold from circulation would lead to such contraction of currency us to cripple trade and seriously airect the prosperity of the country. I. cumin:it.: OF lies us. l' Under these circumstances, :the Secretary of the Treasury# and my self heartily concurred in the propri, ety of using all the surplus currency in the Treasury in the purchase of Government Bonds,thui mincing the interest bearing lebt of the coun try, and of submitting to Congress' the question of the disposition to be made of bonds so, purchased. The bonds now held by the TreuSurer amount to about $75,000,001, includ ing those belonging to the sinking fund. I recommend that the Whole be placed to the credit of the sinking fund. NEW OFFICES—BANE CURTIATIiIN] Your attention is respedfulry Invi ted to the reconinwndations of the Secretary of the Treasury for the ere ation of tho offices of Commissioner of Customs and Revenue, for an in crease of salary to certain Classes of officials awl the substihition of in creased national bank . circulatidn to replace the outstanding three per cent. certificates, and most espeCially to his recommendation for the repeal of laws allowing shares, of tines) pen alties; forfeiture, ac., to cancers ' of the Government. or to inforiuors. The office of Commissioner of 103 ht• al Revenue is one of the most , nr n ous and responsible under the t 4,1 v . eminent. It falls but. little, if at y, short of a cabinet position.' In its importance and responsibilities l and I would ask for it, therefore, suchoileg 'station as in your judgement •will place the olihu on a footing, of dignity commensurate with RA importance and with the character and qualifica tions of the class of men required to fill it properly. - .

' ritE ALABAMA CLAIMS Towards the close of the last ad ministration a convention was sign ed at... London for t lufsettlement °full outstanding claims between Great Britain and the' 'United States, but failed to receive the advice and con sent of the Senate to its ratification. The time and the, eircumstatim at tending the negotiations of the treaty 'were . favorable to its acceptance by the people of the United States; but its prov islet* were wholly inadequate for the settlement of the gmve wrongs that had been sustained, by this Gov-.

Ft INC:[ TELEWLAPIIIC It having come to my knowledge that a corporate company organized under British law, proposed to land upon the shores of the United States to operate there a submarine cable, under concesion from His Majesty the Emperor of the" French of an, ex clusive right for twenty years of tele graphic communication between the shores of France and the United States, with the very objectionable feature of subjecting all mm-ages 'conveyed thereby io the sovereignty and the control of the French Gov eminent, I caused the French and British Leglations at Washington to be made acquainted with the prob able policy of COIICIWS on the sub ject, as foreshadowed by the bill which passed the Senate in March last. This drew from the' represen tative of the Company an agreement to accep t, the basis of their opera tions, the provisiorprof the bill, or of such other enactments ou the subject as might be passed during the ap proaching session of Congress"; also, to use their influence to secure from the French Government a nmdiflea- Bon of theirfoncession so as to per mit the lauding Upon French soil of any cable belonging to any company incorporated by the authority of the United States, or of any State in the Unihn, end on their part not to oppose the establishment of any, such cable. In Consideration of this agreement, I directeirthe withdraw al of all opposition by the United States authorities to the landing of the cable, and to the working of it; , until the meeting of Congo-As. I regret to say that there has been no modification made in the Com lpany's concession, nor. so farm. I can earn, have they attempted to secure one. Their concession excludes the capital and the citizen S of the United States from competition upon the shores of France. I recommend leg islation to protect the rights of citi zens of the United States, as well as the dignity and sovereignty of the nation, U. , 21 inst such an assumption, I shal also endeavor to secure by negotiation an abandonment of the principle of monopolies in -ocean telegraph cable 4.

First. in declar ing by joint resolution that the hub lie debt should be paid principal and interest In coin; second, by provid ing the means ter paying it. To se cure the effect desired, with a proper administration of the laws for the collection of the revenues, and the economic al disbursement of them to this object, the Aduilitistmtion has mutt earnestly addreneet itself with good el-sults, and 1 believe satisfacto ry to the country. There has been no hesitation in changing officials in order to secure efficient 'execution of the laws, and sometimes, too, where, in a mere party view, undesirable po litical results were likely to follow for any hesitation in sustaining efli dent officials against remonstimes wholly political. It may La` well to mention here theembarntssmentpos sible to arise from leaving on the sta tuebook the so-called tenure-of-office act, and to earnestly recommend its toted repeal. It could not have been thelintention of the framers of the Constitution when providing that ap pointnients made by the President should receive the consentoftheSen itte, that the latter should have the power to retain in officepersons there by Federal_. appointment ' against the Will of the President.— This law is inconsistent' with a faith ful anti effitient administration of the government. What faith ton the Executive put in officials foresl upon him, and these, two, whom he had suspended for reason? How will such officials be likely to serve an ad ministration which they know does not trust them? For the second re quisite to growth and prosperity, time and a firm but humane admin istration of existing laws, amended from time to time aathey may prove ineffective, or prove harsh and unne essay are probably all that are -re (mired. The third cannot be attain ed by special legislation, but must its'el a f, and as gradually acquiesced InConstitution by re ,, rded fixed y the force of public opinion. • h the • ODD INDIAN ItELATION,I. From time foundation of the Gov ern:tient to the pre-ent, the manage ment of the original inhabitants of this continent, the Indians, has li4.en a subject of em barasement and ex pense, and has. been• attended with continuous robberies ' murders, Mid wars. From my own experience on the frontters anti 'Thant countries, I do not hold elthel• the.kgislntion or. the conduct of the whites who came inomlt, in, witted with:, the Indians bitunelees for these hostiiititts.

The building of railroads, and the se thereby given to nil agricultural and mineral regions of.theer muntry, is rapidly bringing the civilized set tlements into, contact With all. the tribte of Indians.: No matter what ought to he therelations between such settlements and the alswigents, the Met is they do not harthonize well; and ono or the other has to give way • in the cad. - A system which looks to the exter thittation of a rem is too horrible for a nation to adopt without entailing upon Itself the wrath of all Christen dom, and engendering In theeltisen a disregard for human life and the rights, of others, dangerous to society. I see no substitute for such a system, except In placing all the Indians on large 'reservations as rapidly as mu bo done i and giving Mem absolute protection them. As seems they are titled for it, '.they should be Induced to take their lands in severalty, and to set up territorial governments fur their own protection. For full de tails on this subject, I callyour spec ial attention to the reports of the Secretary of the Interfor;• and • the- Commissioner - Of Indian Affairs.
