I transmit herewith a copy of the treaty alluded to, which has been concluded since the adjourn ment of Congress with Her Britten- Mc Majesty, and a copy of the proto cols of the conferencesof the Commis sioners by whom it was negotiated. This treaty provides methods for ad justing the questions pending be tween the two nations. Various questions are to be adjusted by arbi tration. GENEVA TRIBUNAL I recommend Congress, at an early day, to make the necessary provision for the tribunal at Geneva, and for the several commissions called for on the part of the United States by the treaty. Ills Majesty the King of It aly, the President of the Swiss Con federation and Hie Majesty the Em peror of Brazil have consented, on the joint request of the two powers, to name an arbitrator for the tribunal at Geneva. I have caused my thanks to be suitably expressed for the read ine6,s with which the joint request has been complied with by the ap pointment of gentlemen of eminence and learning to these Important pos itions. His Majesty the Emperor of Germany has been pleased to comply with the joint request of the two gov ernments, and has consented to act as the arbitrator of the disputed water boundary between the United States and Great Britain. The contracting parties in the treaty have undertaken to regard, as between themselves, certain principles of public law for which the United States hilve con tended from the commencement of their history. They have also agreed to bring these principles to the know ledge of the other tuaratime powers, and to invite them to accede to t them. Negotiations are going on as to the form of the mode by Which the invi tation is to be extended to the other powers. CANADIAN FISIIERIF- , 4,, SiC I recommend legislation necessary on the part of the United States to bring into operation the articles of the treaty relating to the fisheries and to the other matters touching the re lations of the United States toward the British North American prov inces, to become operative so soon ast,he proper legislation shall be had on the part of Great Britain and its possessions, as it is much to be desir ed that this legislation may become operative before the fishermen of the United States begin to make their arrangements for the coming season. I have addressed a communication, of which a copy is transmitted here with, to the Governors e f New . York , Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michi gan, Illinois and 'Wisconsin, urging upon the governments of those States respectively the necessary Action on their part to carry into effect the ob ject of the treaty, which contemplates the use of the canals on either side connected with the navigation of the lakes and rivers forming the bounda ry, on terms of equality by the in habitants of both countries. It is to be hoped that the importance of the object and the benefits to flow there from will secure the speedy approval and the legislative sanction of the States concerned. NORTHERN BOUNDARA I renew the recommendation for an 'appropriation for determining the true position of the forty-ninth par allel of latitude where it forms the boundary between the United States and the Briti.lh North American - Wovince's, twi n the Lake of the oods and the summit of the Rocky Mountains. The early action of Con gress on this recommendation would put it in the power of the War De partment to place a force in the field during the next summer. ERMANY AND FRANCE.

SD itt !!!i ele' and UUSSI A -CATA CA ZY The intimate friendly relations which have so long existed between the United States and Russia con tinue undisturbed. The visit of the third son of the Emperor is a proof that there is no desire on the part of his government to diminish the cor diahty of these relations. The hos pitable reception which has been giv en to the Grand Duke is a proof that on our part we share the wishes of that Government. The inexcusable course of the Russian Minister .at Washington rendered it necessary to ask bis recall and to decline to lon ger receive that functionary as a dip lomatic representative. It was Im possible, with self-respect, or with a just regard to the dignity of the country, to permit Mr. Catacazy to continue to hold intercourse , ;, with dims their m. to *iv men, .Niro! 40/erings I= States to be an this government after his persona -abuse of government officials, and during his persistent interference through widow tslockutt. with tho' ro tations between the United States and other powers. In accordance with my wishes this government has been relieved of further intercourse with Mr. C'atacazy, and the manage ment of the Imperial legation has passed into the hands of a gentleman entirely unobjectionable. CHINA AND JAPAN. With Japan we continue to main tain intimate relations. The Cabi net of the Mikado has, since the close of the last,,scsion of Congress, select ed a citizen of the United &kites to serve in .ollices of importance in several departments of the govern ment. 1 have reason to think that this selection is due to an apprecia tion of the disinterestedness of the ixdicY which the United States has pursued toward Japan. It is ourde sire to continue to maintain this dis- interested and just policy with China and Japan. The correspondence transmitted herewith shows that there is no disposition on the part of this government to swerve from its established course. Promoted by a desire to put an end to the barbarous treatment of our shipwrecked sailors on the Corean coast, I instructed our Minister at Pekin to endeavor to conclude a con vention with Corea for securing the safety and humane treatment of such mariners. Admiral Rodgers was instructed to accompany him with a sufficient force to protect him in ease of need. A small surveying party sent out on reaching the coast was treacherously attacked at a disadvan tage. Ample opportunity was given for explanation and apoloogy for the insult. Neither came. A force then landed. After an arduous march over a ragged and difficult country the forts, from which the outrages were committed, were reduced by a gallant assault and were destioyed t , Having thus punished the criminals and having vindicated the honor of the flag, the expedition returned, finding it impracticable under the circumstances to conclude the desired convention. I respectfully refer to the correspondence relating thereto herewith submitted ; and I leave the subject for such action as Congress may see fit to take. The Republica Mexico has not yet repealed the very objectionable law establishing . what is known as the Free Zone on the frontier of the Uni ted States. It is to be hoped that this may yet be done, and also that more stringent measures may be taken by the republic for restraining lawless persons on the frontiers. I hope that Mexico, by its awn action, will soon relieve this government of the difficulties experienced from these causes. CENTRAL. AND SOUTH AMERICA • Our relations with the 'various re publics of Central and South Ameri ca continues, with one exception, to be cordial and friendly. I recom mend that some action be taken by Congress regarding the overdue in stalments under the award of the Venezuelan claims of 1866. The in ternal dissentious of thisgo‘k.rnment present no justification for the ab sence of an effort to meet their sol emn treaty obligations. The ratifi cation of an extradition treaty with Nicaragua has been exchanged. .It is a subject of congratulation that the great empire of Brazil has taken the initionary steps toward the abolition of slavery. Our relations with that empire, always cordial, will natural ly be more so by this act. It is not too much to hope that the govern ment of Brazil may hereafter find it for its interest, as well as intrinsically right, to advance toward emancipa tion more rapidly than the present attempt contemplates. The true prosperity and greatness of a nation is to be found in the elevation and education of Its neighbors. It is a subject of regret that the reforms in this direction, which were volunta rily promised by the statesmen of Spain, have not been carried put in Its West India colonies. Thtlaws MILE 1 M EX I CO. and' egulations for the aßparen t abo lition of slavery in Cuba anti Porto Rico leave most of the laborers in bondage, with no hope of releaf until their lives have become a burden to their employers. I desire to direct your attention to the fact that citi zens of the United States, or persons claiming to be citizens of the United States, are large holders in foreign idands of this species of pronerty; for den by the fundamental law of it alleged country I recommend '- Congress to provide by stringent • ration a suitable remedy against i I I oiling, owning, or dealing iu she vii ii , ' , or „being interested in slave Pro yin foreign lands, either as aWn eirs, or mortgages, by citi zens n , thelUnited States. •• CUBA. 4 it is tOlie l regretted that the dis titrWl cond Uon of the Island of Cu ba Cap r, orpeac6 abd tOnCillation which hitherto 'guided; the two IxivreiWn their:treatibent Orsuch qtieatiomPt .

Our 'repot, sentatives would then be placed upon. an equality with the representatives of Great Britain, and of some other, pdivers. .Assiow situated,our repre sentatives in Japan and China have to depend for interpreters and trans lators upon the natives of those coun tries who know our language imper fectly, or procure for the occasion the Srvices of employees In foreign busi ness. houses,. or the . interpreters to other foreignwinisters. I would al so'.."ftm,mend liberal measures for the purpose of supporting the Amens jean Hues of steamers now plying be tween Ban Francisco and Japan and China, aosl the Australian line—al most our only remaining lines of ocean steameru—and of increasing their services. THE NATIONAL DEBT. The national debtltastoeen .retitic ed to the extent of eighth-six mil lion, fifty-seven thousand one hun dred and twenty-six dollars and eigh ty cents during the year, and by the negotiation of national bonds at a lower rate of interest, the interest on the public debt has been so far di minished that now the sum to be raised for the interest Account Is near ly seventeen million dollaralesithan on the first of March. 1869. It was highly desirable that this rapid diminution should take place, both to strengthen the credit of the coun try and to convince its citizens of their entire ability to meet every dollar of liability without bankrupt ing them ; but in view of the accom plishment of these desirable ends. and cf the rapid development of the resources of the country, and its in creasing ability to meet large de mauds,and the amounts already paid, it is not desirable that the present re sources of the country should contin ue to be taxed in order to continue this rapid payment, therefore, I recommend a modification of both the'tariff and internal tax laws. I recommend that all taxes from inter nal sources be abolished, except those collected from spirituous, vinous and malt liquors, tobacco in its various forms, and for stamps. T.Utl I I In rejusting the tariff I suggust that a careful estimate be made of the amount of surplus revenue col lected under the pre se nt laws, after providing for the current expenses of the government, the interest ac count and a sinking fund, and that t ' surplus be reduced in such a ti s ller as to a ff ord the greatest re efl to the greatest number. There are many articles not produced at home, and which enter largely into general consumption. through arti cles which are manufactured at home; such as medicines, compounds, &c., 6:.c., from which very little revenue is derived, but which enter into the general use. All such articles I rec ommend to be placed on the free lists. Shoidd a further reduction prove ad visable, I would then recommend that it be made upon those articles which can best bear it without dis turbing home production or reduc ing the \Vages of the American labor er. I have not entered into figures, because to'do so would be to repeat what will be laid before you in the reporeof the Secretary of the Treas ury. The present laws for collecting the revenue, pay the collectors of customs, small saleries, but provide for moiety shares din all seizures which are made at principal ports of entry, which raise the compenkition of these officials to a large sum. It has always seemed to me as if this system must at times work perni ciousiy. It holds out an inducement to dishonest men, should such get possession of these o ff ices, to be tax ed in their secreting of goods en tered, to enable them finally to make large seizures. Your attention is re spectfully invited to the subject. Continued fluctuations in the value of gold, compared with the national currency, has a most damaging effect upon the increase 4iiid development of the country. Iff keeping up the prices of all articles necessary in every day life, it fosters a spirit of gambling prejudicial alike to nation al morals, and the national finances. If the question can be met as to how to give a fixed. value to our currency that constantly and uniformally ap proaching par with specie, a very de sirable object will be gained. TIIE All.ll For the operations of the army during the past year, the expense of maintaining it, the estimates for the ensuing year, and for continuing the sea coast and other improvements conducted under the supervision of the War Department, I refer you to the accompanying reptltrof the Sec retary of War. 1 call your attention to the provisions of the act of Con gress, approved March 3, 1569, winch discontinued promotions in the staff corps of the army, until the officers in each grade in the staff corps be I fixed, and that whenever the num ber in any ono grade fulls below the may tieberlistinedfibxyeipl m th m at ou t o h n e f S ro li m elln t e h y e grade below. 1 also recommend that when the office of the chief of a corps becomes vacant, the place may be filled by a selection from the corps in which the vaaincy exists. THE NAVY. The report of the Secretary of the ~.-:4,, ...,, w., . ,~. Established 1818. . . Navy shows an improvement in the number and efficiency of the naval force without material increase in the expense of supporting it. This isdue to the policy which has been adopted add is being extended as our material will admit of the using of the mill er vessels as cruisers on the several stations. By this means we have Ken' enabled to occupy at once a tar get extent of cruising grounds, to visit more frequently the posts where the presence of our flag is desirable, and generally to discharge more effi ciently the appropriate duties of the navy in time of peace, without ex ceeding the numbers of men or the expeuditures authorized by law. During the past year the navy has, in addition to its regular service, supplied the men and officers for the coast survey, and has completed th e surveys authorized by Congress of the Isthmus of Darien and Tehuan tepee, and under like "authorityhas sent out an expedition- completely furnished and equipped, to explore the unknown ocean of the north. The suggestions of the report as to the necessity for Increasing and im proving the material of the navy, and - the plan recommended for re ducing the personnel of the service to tc peace standard, by the gradnal abolition of certain grades al:officers, the reduction . ototherti, end the em ployment otthe same' ~ .8 131171Ce of the eammerelapire. all considered, and &ewe thckthought fel cons ideratiortaCongress. I also recommend that nit, promotions in the navy, above the rank of captain, be by selection instead of by seniori ty. This course will secure in the higher grades greater efficiency, and hold out an incentive to young offi cers to improve themselves in the knowledge of their profession. The post of maintaining the navy, its tost`con:upared with that of the pre beding year, and the estimates for the ensuing year, are contained in the accompanying report of the Secrete ! ry of the Navy. POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT. The enlarged receipts of the Post- Let.ffice Department , as shown by the coMpanying report of the Postmas- General, exhibits a gratifying in pease in that branch of the public . sirvice—it is the index of the pros serity of the people, two elements hrghly conducive to the vigor and !stability or republics. With a vast i f tbltritory like ours, much of it sparsely vopulated, but all requiring the serv lees of the mail, it is not to be ex !flee' ted that this department can be 'self sustaining, but a gradual ap prbach to this end from year to year latrmfidently relied on, and the day /Ft Ot far distant when the Post of sc.Department of the government Wi l prove a much greater blesSing to:khe whole people than it is row. The suggestions of the Postmaster General in favor of improvement in the department presided over by him, are earnestly recomended to your special attention. Especially do I recomend favorable considera tion of the plan for unitibg the tele graphic systems of the United States with the postal system. It is believ ed that by such a course the cost of telegraphing could be much reduced and the service as well if not better rendered. - It would secure the fur ther advantage of extending the tele graph through portions of the coun try where private enterprise will not construct it. Cowmen.* and trade, and above all, the efforts to bring a people widely separated" into a com munity of interests, are always bene-' 'fitted by is rapid intur-arommixiamicia- Lion. Education, the ground work of republican institutions, would be incouraged by increasing the facili ties to get the news speedily from all parts of the country; the desire to reap the beneri to of such improwinnts will stimulate education. I refer you to the report of the Postmaster Gen eral for full details of the operations of last year, and for comparative statements of results with former years. 6 ku-KLUX TROUBL "M!,, There has been imposed upon the executive branch of the government the execution of the act of Congress approved April 20, 1871, and com monly known as the Ku-Klux law, in a portion of the State of South Carolina. The necessity of the course pursued will be demonstrated by the report of the committee to investi gate Southern outrages. Under the provision of the act 1 issued a proe 'motion calling the attention of the people of the United States to the same, and declaring my reluctance to the exercise of any of the extraordi nary powers thereby conferred upon me except in case of imperative nee elsity, but making known my pur pose to exercise such powers when ever it should become necessary tado so for the purpose of securing to all citizens of the United States the peaceful enjoyment of the rights guaranteed to them by the constitu tion and laws. _..After the passage of this law inforMation was received from time to time that combinations of,the character referred to existed and were powerful in many parts of the Southern States, particularly in the State of South Cairolino. Careful investigation was made, and it was ascertained, that in counties of that State such 6ombinations were active and' powerful, embracing a sufficient portion of the citizens to control the local authorities, and having among other things the object of depriving the emancipated class of the benefits of freedom and of presehting the free politiesl action of those citizens ,who did not sympathize with their own ' views. Among their operations were frequent scourgings and occusienal assassinations, generally perpetrated at night by disguised persons, the victims in almost all cases being of different polities' sentiments from their own, or freed persons who had shown a disposition to 'claim equal rights with other citizens. Thous ands of inoffensive and well-disposed citizens were the sufferers by this lawless violence. Thereupon on the 12th of October, 1871, a proclama tion was issued in terms .of the law calling upon the members of those combinations to disperse within five days, and to,deliver .to the Marshal or the military officers 9f the United States all the arms, ammunition, uni forms, disguisesandother meansand implements used by them for carry ing out their unlawfhl purpose. This warning not having been heeded, on the 17th of October anoth er proclamation was issued suspend ing the privilege of the writ of habeas co - rpm in nine counties in that State. Direition was given that within the counties so designated the persons supposed, upon creditable informa tion, to be members of such unlaw ful combinations, should be arrested by the military forces of the United States and delivered to the Marshal, to be dealt with according to law. In two of said counties—York and Spar tansburg—many arrests have been made. At the last account the num ber Of persons thus arrested was one hundred and sixty-eight. Several hundred whose criminality was sup posed to be of an inferior degree, were released for the present. These have generally made confessions of their guilt. Great caution has been ob served in making these arrests, and notwithstanding the large nu m ber,. it is believed that no innocent person is now in custody. The prisoners will be held for regular trial in the judi cial tribunals of the trnited States.

In Utah there still remains a rein pant of barbarism, repugnant to civil ization, to decency and to the,laws of e the United States. Territorial offi cers, however, have been fmind who are willing to perform theiriduty is a spirit of equality and with a due sense of sustaining the majesty of the law. Neither poligamy nor any other violation of the existing statutes will be permitted with ifi the territory of the United States. It is not with the religion of the self-styled Saints that we are now dealing, but with their practices. They will be protected in the worship of God according to the dictate .of their consciences, but they will not be permitted to violate the laws under the cloak of religion. It may be advisable for Congress to I consider what. in the execution of the laws against polygamy, is to be the status of the plurality of wives and their offspring. Tho propriety of Congress, pluming an enabling act au thorizing the Territorial Legislature Cif Utah to legitimatize all children horn prior toe time-fixed in the act.

Thre' the exertions of the various societies Of Christians, to whoni has been in trusted . the execution of the policy, and /the Board.of Commissioneri au thorized by the law of April 10, ISM, many tribes of Indians have been in duced to settle upon reservations, to cultivate the soil, to perform produe r( live labor of - various k -Inds, and to partially accept Civil zation. They are being eared for i such a way, it is hoped, as to induce hose still pur suing their pld habitsof life to em brace the only opportunity which is left them to avoid extermination. I recommend liberal appropriations to carry out the Indian peace policy, not only because it is humane, Chris tian-like and economical„but because it is right. I recommend to your fa vorable consideration, also, the poli cy of granting a Territorial (iovern molt to the Indians in the Indian Territory west of Arkansas and Mis souri, and south of Kansas. Doing so, every right guaranteed o the In dians by treaty should be secured.— Such, of course, might in time be the means of collecting most of the Indi ans between the Missouri and the Pacific, and south of the British pos sessions, into one Territory or one State. The Secretary of the Interior has treated upon this subject at length and I recommend to you his sugges tions. LANDS I renew my recommendation that the public lands be regarded as sacred —to be disposed-of only as required for occupation and to actual settlers. Those already granted have been in great part disposed of in such a way as to secure access to the balance by the hardy 'settler who may wish to avail himself of them, but caution should be exercised in attaining so desirable an object.' The educational interests may well be subserved by grants to these roads and the sale of public lands to settlers. j do not wish tc..1.4. .., . . .. • in the least degree a curti oen of what is being done by tft - 0 general government for the encouragement of education. The report of the Sec retary of the Interior, siffibmitted with this, will give you all the infor mation collected and prepared for publication ill regard to the census taken during the year 1870, the ope rations of the Buteau of Education for the year, the; Patent office, the Pension office, the Land office, and the Indiad Bureau: AGRICULTURE. The report of the Commissioner of Agriculture gives the operations of his department for the year. As ag riculture is the groundwork of our prosperity, too much importance cannot be attached to it. The labors of:this department are in•the hands of an able head, with able assistants, all devoted to introducing into the agricultural productions of the nation all such products as are adapted to •any of the various climates and soils of our vast territory, and to giving all useful information as to the meth od of cultivation of the plants, the seed, and other products adapted to particular localities. Quietly but surely the Agricultural Bureau is working a great national good, and if liberally_supported the more wide ly its influence will be extended, and the dependence there will be on the products of foreign countries. The subject of compensation to the heads of bureaus and officials holding positions of responsibility and requi ring ability and character to fill prop erly, is one to which your attention is invited. But few of the officials _receive a compensation equal to the respectable support of a family, while their duties are such as to involve millions of interest. in private life services demand compensation equal to the services rendered, and w ise economy would-dictate the same rule in the government service. aiTIMATF.S I have not given the estimates for the support of the government for the ensiling year. nor the compara tive statement between the expend iture for the year just passed, or. the one just preceding, because all these figures are contained in the accom panying reports, or in those presented directly to Congress. CONDITION OF THE SOUTH. More than six years having eiapst d since the last hostile gun was' firt.d between the armies then arraigned against each other; the one for the perrouation the other for the de struction of - the I.7iiion, and it may well be considered whether it is now time that.the disabilities imposed by the fourteenth amendment should be removed. That amendment does nut exclude the ballot, but only imposes the disability to hold officesl4mi certain clesses. When the purity of the ballot is secure, the majorities are sure to elect officers reflecting the views of the majority. Ido not see the advantage or propriety of ex cluding men from office merely be cause they were beTore the rebellion of standing and character sufficient to be elected to position requiring theta to take oaths to support the constitu tion, and admitting to eligibility those entertaining precisely the same views but of less standing in their communities. It may be said that the former violated their oaths, while the latter did not have it in their power to do so. If they had taken this oath, it cannot be doubted they would have broken it as did the for mer class, if there are any great criminals distinguished above till others for the part they • took in opposition ta the government, they might, in the judgement of Congress, be excluded from such in amnesty,. This subject is submitted for yonr careful consideration. The condition. of the Southern States is unhappily not such as all true patriotic citizens would like to see. A series of ostra cism for orphans' sake, of personal violence, of threats toward persons entertainlpg political views opposed to those entertained by the majority of the old citizens, prevents im mi- (Crqntinued on Fourth Page.)
