necessarllv under tho control of tho Jurisdiction

of this French concession showed that oilier cai

expatriation to be n natural and Inherent right
uf all people, butwhllo many other nations have
( nacted laws providing what form illtlesshall Iw
necessary to work a change of allegiance, tho
United states has enacted no provlsons ot law,
and has in no respects marked out how und when
expatriation may be accomplished by Its citizens.
Instances urn brougnt tu the attention of the
government where eltlzetis of the United states,
whether naturalized or native Imrn.h ive formally

but who, nevertheless, in the absence of any

is lull Justice to ull Imiia lido citizens that no

I also Invite your attention to the necessity of
regulating by law tho status of American wo

of tho constantly occurring questions on theso
points presented 10 the consideration of tho
government. Uierearu few subjects to engage
the attention of cungtess on which more delicate
relations or more Important interests aro do
pendent. TUB FINANCE QUESTION.
Too much stress cannot be laid upon this ques
tion, and I hope Congress may bo Induced at tho
earliest day practicable to ensure the consumma
tion nt tho net ot the last congress at Its last ses
sion to bring about specie resumption on nnd af
ter the llrst day of January, Is7, at the farthest.
It would be a great blessing It this could be con
summated even nt an earlier day. Nothttg seems
to inu more certain than that a full, healthy and
permanent reaction cannot take pi ice in favor of
tlie Industries and nnauclal welfare of the coun
try until wo return to a ineasurt'of value recog
nized throughout tho civilized world. While ue
use u current' not equivalent to tills standard,
tho world's recognized standard, spoelo becomes
a commodity like thu products ot tho soli, tho
surplus seeking a market wherever there Is a de
mand for it. Under our present sv stem we should
want none, nor would we have any, were It not
that customs dues must be paid In coin, and be-caus-jof
the pledge to pay the Interest of the pub
lic debt In coin. Hie )teld ot precious metals
would Iloiv out for tlie purchase of foreign pro
ducts ant leave thu United states hewers of wood
und dr.e t ers of w ater, liccausu ot u Iser legisla
tion on the subject of Mnaucc by thu nations with
w hom w e bavo dealings. I am not prepared to
say that I can suggest Hie best legislation to se
curo tho cutl most heartily commended. It will
bo a suitno of great gratification to mo to la) able
tu appro o ativ measures ot Congress looking ef
fectively toward Securing resumption. Unllmlt.
cd b, union would prubably bring about specie
pal incuts more speedily than any legislation
looking to tlie redemption ot the legal tenders In
coin, but It would hu at tho expense of no value,
beyond settling present nihilities, or, propcrli
speaking, repudiating them. They would buy
nothing after debts were .id settled. There are
a few measures which seem too important In this
connection, and which I commend to your earn
est consideration. A repeal of so much ot the le
gal tender act as makes these notes rccelvablu
fur debts contracted after a date to lie fixed In
the act Itself, sav not later than the first of Janu
ary, 1STT. Wo should then have quotations nt
real values, not llclltlous ones. Hold would be no
longer at a premium, but currency at a discount.
A he. lit li reaction would set In at once, and with
ltn deslroto mako the currencyequ.il what It
purorts to be. Tho merchants, manufacturers
and landsineu ot every calling could do business
on a fair margin ot prollt, the money tu be receiv
ed having an unvarying value. Laborers and ull
classes who work tor stipulated pay, or salary,
cuuld receive mote for their Income, because ex
tra prottt would no longer bo charged by capital
to compensate for the risk ot a downward ttuctu
at Ion on the value of the currency ; second, that
the Secretary of tho Treasury tic authorized to
redeem, sav not to exceed two millions of dollars
monthly, of legal tender notes, by Issuing In their
stead a long bond bearing interest at the rate of
Ihrt'oandblxtv-tlve-hunuredlh pertent per an
num, (f denominations ranging from llfty dollars
to one thousand dollars. Tills would In time re
duce the legal tender notes to a volume that
could bu kept alloat without dem Hiding redemp
tion in largo sums suddenly. Third, that addi
tional power bu given to tho Secretary 01 the
Treasury to accumulate gold forilnal redemption
either by Increasing thn revenue, or curtailing
expense, or both, mid I recommend that reduc
tion of expenditures be mad? wherever It can be
done without Impairing the government obliga
tions or crippling the due execution thereof.
THE Dl'TV ON TEA AND C'OlrKt.
One measure fur Increasing tho levenue, and
the only one 1 think or, Is thu restoration of the
duty on tea and cotlee. These duties would add
nrobablv is.ixiu.ui)u to the nreseiit amount receiv
ed from Imports, and would in 110 way Increase
the prices paid for those 111 ttcles by the consum
ers. THU I1LACX lULLSCOCNTUY.
The discovery of gold In ILo block Hills, a iw

to Induce a large emigration of miners to that

cessful, but the next jearvvlll certainly witness
a large Increase of sueh cmlgratleu. 'ihe higo

UTAH ANO rOLYOAMT.;
In nearly t very annual message that I cava
had the honor of transmitting to t ungress,! hare
called attention to the anomulous, not to say
scandalous, condition nf affairs existing in Hie
territory of Utah, and I h ive asked for dotlnllv
legislation to correct It. That polyiratny should
exist tn a free.cnllghtened nnd christian country,
without the power to punish so migrant a crlina
against decency and morality, seems preposter
ous. True, thero is no law to sustain tids unnat
Ural vice, but what Is needed Is a law to fiunlih
It ns a crime, and at the samo time to fix the sta
tus of their Innocent rhlldren, the offspring of
this sjstem, nnd of the possibly innocent plural
wives, but as an Institution poll gamy should be
banished from the land. Whllo this Isbelngdone,
I Invito tho attention of Congress to Hiiother,
though, perhaps, no less evil tho Importation of
Chinese women, but few of whom are brought to
our shores to pursue honorable or useful occupa
tions. UrCAPITCLATIOX.
As lids will lie the last annual message which I
shall have tho honor of transmitting to Congress
lit fore my successor Is chosen, I vv 111 repeat or re
cjpltulato the questions which I deem of vital
Imisirtutice which should lie legislated upun and
settled at this session ; I- irst.tlint Uie stales shall
be required to uITord Uie opportunity of a good
common school education to every child within
their limits; second, no sectarian tenets shall
eve r be taught In any school supported In whole
or tn part by the state, nation, or by the proceeds
of an tax levied upon any comniutdtv ; make
education compulsory so far as to deprive all ; er
sous who cannot read and write from becoming
voters after the year l mo, disfranchising cone,
liowcver.on grounds of Illiteracy who moy be vot
ers at tho tlmo such umendinent takes etTrif.
Third, declare church ami state forever separate
and distinct, and that all church property Juvll
bear Us own proportion nf taxation ; fuurth.dnve
out licensed Immorality, such n-s poll gamy und
the Importation cf women for Illegitimate put
poses. To recur again to theccnUnnlnl year. It
would seem that nuw as we ate utiout to ts-gln
the second century of utirexlsteficc. would lies
mo-1 lilting tlmo furthest reforms; fifth, enact
such laws tea nld command the respect ot the
world. Hellrvlng that theso views 111 commend
themselves to the great majority of the Hght
thlnklng and patriotic citizens of thu United
States. I submit the rest to Congress.

Executive Mansion, Dec. 7, 1379,
Men Who Keep Pcrpet 's: Silente.
The abbots of Modtit Miilery, in Ireland,
Sept Ponds in France, and Mnriastcrn in
Turkey, all monasteries of the Trappist or
der of monks, have decided to purchase
land in Maryland to establish n house in the
United States, and have appointed as their
agent Ilrotlicr Francis de Sales, who has
probably presented his credentials to the
Archbishop, of ISaItiini)re,:iiid been formally
received into that diocese.
The Order of Trappists is tho severest in
thn Church. Perpetual silence is one of
their vows, and dispensation is Riven to speak
only when necessity demands it, or to those
few of tlie brothers who fill ollices in the
monastery which demand occasional conver
sations. They are not allowed meat, ejjgi,
butter, cheese, fish or oil They sleep on
narrow beds of straw raised a few inches
from the ground. They dig and refill, and
dig again and refill from time to time their
own graves as a reminder of their mortality.
They rise hours before dawn, and niter
prayer and meditation, betake themselves to
their respective employment. Among them
arc blacksmiths, shoemakers, tailors, carpen
ters, farmers, dairymen and mill-wrights.
The Trappists monasteries named above- aro
very wealthy, but their wealth has accrued
from tho industry of their members. Theso
monks ask no charity nnd consequently
Brother Francis de Sales was able to say
that he has not journeyed to America with
a subscription list, lie asserted that the
monastery of Sept Funds, in France alone
ofTered to defray the expenses of the new
mission. A temporary house is to be rented
and in IX-cenibcr 200 Trappist monks, se
lected from tin' three monasteries, will occu
py it. Hrnthcr Francis de Sales is a French
man by birth, but lie speaks English with
out much peculiarity of uecnt. He is san
guine of the success of the mission he is
sent tu superintend. He says that the Ab
bot of Sept Fonda in Frain'e was a Count of
great wealth ; that the Abbot of Mount
Miliary in Ireland was at otic time a candi
date for election to I'arliinent and that thn
six feet-two Abbot of Mariastern is an Irish
man. Thr Natubrr Seven in Uie llililr.
