PUF.SIDENTIi MESSAGE.
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

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

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

respondence are herewith furnished.

On my assumingthe responsibility
of Chief Magistrate of the United
States, it was with the conviction
that three things wore essential to its
peace, prosperity and fullest develop
ment. First among these is strict in
tegrity in fulfilling our obligations.
Second, to secure protection to the
person and property of the citizens
of our coalition. country, wherever
he may choose to move, without re
ference to original nationality, relig
ion, color or politics, demanding• of
hint only obedience to the claims and
proper respect for the rights of others.
Third, union of all of the State-, with
equal rights, indestructible by any
unconstitutional means. To seetre
the first of these Congress has taken
two esLential steps. 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

This law is inconsistent' with a faith

Executive put in officials foresl upon
him, and these, two, whom he had

such officials be likely to serve an ad

a nation to adopt without entailing
upon Itself the wrath of all Christen

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
