The President's Message.
: lb THE *ENATE AND iTOCOK OF RltntF
F xiiXTATTVKS ; In submitting ray eighth ami
last annual auM*i> to Congress, it www
propet- that I hould refer to and in aorac
oegiv recapitulate the event* and official
i a.-taof eight year*. It waa my
fortune, or my misfortune, to he called to
the office of Chief Executive without any
ptvwfotis political training. From the age
f of see. ni en 1 had newr even witnessed
t£~ the excitement attending a Presidential
| campaign bit wire antecedent to mv own
? candidacy, and at but one waa I eligible a*
a voter. Tudor Mich circumstances it ia
but res - -nablc to rappont that error* of
jndgmMt must have occurred. Even had
they not, difference* of opinion hot ween the
F.\ci utivc, bound bv an oath to the strict
performance of hi* duties, and writer* and
debater* must have arisen. It is not necc*-
aarily evidence of Munder on the part of
the Executive because there are these differ
ence* of view*.
MISTAKES HAVE BERN MA PR,
as all can see and 1 admit, but it necm* to
me oftencr in the selections made of tiic a*
datant* appointed to aid in carrying out
the various duties of administering the
government. In nearly ever* ease srkvtad
without a personal acquaintance with the
appointee. but upon recooiiaendstfon* of
the representative* chosen directly by the
people, it i* impossible where no many
trusts are to be allotted that the right
parties should be rhunn in every instance.
History show- that no Administration since
the time of Washington to the present has
been five from these mistake*, but I leave
ccunp*rimus to history, claiming only that
I have acted in every instance Trow a con
scientious desire to do what * right, con-

MY WVIL CAREER
flmr.aißoad, lots at a most critical and'diffi- j
cult tin:.. life-.* than four years before- the
country had emerged from a conflict *uoh
as no other nation had ever survived.
Nearly one-half of the State* had revolted
against the government, and of those re
maining faithful to the Union a large per
centage oi the population sympathized
with the rdglUw, and made an "enemy
in the rear n almost a* daugerois* a* the
more honorable enemy in the front. The
latter committed error* ot judgment, but
tfcvv maintained them openly and courage
ously. The former received the protection
oi the government they would see destroyed,
and reaped all the pecuniary advantage to
he gained out c 4 the then existing state of
affair*, many of them by obtaining contract*
j and by
"svrisnuKu THE movers MKXT
" in the delivery of their good*. Immediate
ly on the cessation of fowtilitie# the ths-a
nobio President, who had carried the coun-
Uy o far through it* i>eril*. fell a martyr
to hispntri trim at the hand* of an a**a*-
*ii}. The intervening time to my tir*i in- j
. anguratiou was filled up with wrangling*
between Congress and the new Executive I
as to the best mode id " reconstruction," or,
' .to speak plainly, as to whether the control
of the government should be thrown imme
iliatelv into the hands of those who had so
recently and persistently tried to destroy it,
or whether the victor* should continue to
have an equal voice with them in thi*
control
BJacoKwntveTioN,
as Anally agreed upon, mean* this, and only
this, except that the late slave was enfran
chised, giving an increase, as waa supposed,
to the Union-hiving and Union-supporting
vote*. If free in the full sense of the word
they would not disappoint this expecta
tion ; hence, at the beginning of my first
administration, the work of reconstruction,
much embarrassed bv the- long delay, vir
tually commenced. Is was of the
legislative branch of the government. My
province wa< wholly in approving their
acL*, which I did moat heartily,durging the
legislature- of State* that had nut yet done
s< > to ratify the fifteenth amendment to tlie
Constitution.
The conntrv was laboring under an en
ormous del* contracted in the suppression
oi rebeltiin, and taxation wa *o oppressive
a* to discourage production.
•ANOTHER bA2iI.UK
also threatened us—a foreign war. The
laM difficulty had t<> be adjusted, and was |
adjn ted without a war. ana in m manner
highly honorable to all parties concerned.
Taxation ha* been reduced, within the lart
seven years, nearly $300,000,000.
Til* NATIONAL DEBT
has been reduced in the same time over four
hundred an.! thirty-five millions of dollars
by refunding the six per gent, bonded debt
for bonds bearing five and four and or.e
hali per cent, interest respectively. The
annual interest ha* been reduced from over
one hundred and thirty millions of dollar*
in 1860 to but little over one hundred mil
lions of dollars iu 1376. The balance of
trade has been changed, from over one hun
dred and thirty million* against the United
.States in 1869, to more than one hundred
and twenty millions of dollars in our favor
in 1876. ft is confidently believed that the
balance of trade in favor of the Inited
States will increase, not diminish, and that
the pledge of Congress, to resume apecie
payments in 1879, will be easily accomplish
es!, even in the absence of much desired
further legislation on the subject. A policy
has been adapted toward
THE INDIA IT TRIBE*
inhabiting a iarge portion of the territory
|g of the United State", which ha* been hu
mane, and ha* sulwtant tally ended Indian
hoetiiiti - in the whole land except in a
portion of Nebraska and Dakota, \\ vorning
and Montana Territories, the Black Hill*
region and approaches thereto. Hostilities
there- hare grown out of the avarice of the
white mas, who has violated our treaty
stipulation!- in hi* search for gold. The
question might be asked, why the govern
ment has not enforced obedience to the
terms of the treaty prohibiting the occupa
tion of the Black Hills region by the
white-? The answer is simple. The first
immigrants to the Black Hills were re
moved by troop, but rumors of rich dis
coveric- of gold took into that region in
creased number*. Gold has actually lieen
{burnt in paying quantity, and an eflort to
I remove the miners would only result in the
descetion of the bulk of the troop that
might be sent to remove them. All diffi
culty tn this matter has, however, (wen re
moved, subject to the approval of Congress,
by a treaty ceding the Black ILilis and sp
it' preaches to settlement by citizens. The
subject ni Indian policy and treatment is
so fully net forth by the secretary of the
f interior and the commissioner of Indian
a flairs, and my views so fully expressed
therein, that I refer to their report* and rec
ommendations aa my own. The relations
E&.iS; of the
vxmsn STATES WITH FOREI'iX POWER*
continue oa a friendly footing. (Questions
have arisen from time"to time in the foreign
relations of the government, but the United
States have been happily free during the
|gy past year from the complications and em-
S barraasnier.ts which have surrounded some
of the foreign powers. The diplomatic
I correspondence submitted herewith con
tains information as to certain of the mat
ters which have occupied the government.
The cordiality which attends our relations
with the powers of the earth has been plain
*•-" --"" ly shown by the general participation of
foreign nations in the Exhibition which has
just closed, and by the exertions made by
distant powers to show their interest in, and
friendiy feeling toward, the United State*
in the commemoration of the centennial of
the nation. The government and people of
the United State* have not only tally ap
preciated this exhibition of kindly feeling,
out it may be justly and fairly expected
no small benefit* will result both to
ourselves and other nations from a better
appreciation of our mutual advantages and
mutual want". Congress, at it* last session,
saw fit to reduce the amount usually ap
propriated for foreign intercourse, by with
holding appropriations for representatives
of the United States in certain foreign
countries and for certain consular officers,
and by reducing the amount usually appro
priated for certain other diplomatic posts,
and thus necessitating change in the grade
of the representatives. For these reasons,
immediately upon the passage of the bill
making appropriations for the
DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE
for the fiscal year, instructions were issued
to the representatives of the United States
at Bolivia, Ecuador and Colombia, and to
the consular officers for whom no appropri
ation had been made, to close their re
spective legations and consulates, and
cease from the performance of their du
ties, and, in like manner, steps were im
mediately taken to substitute charges
d'affaires for ministers resident in Portugal,
Denmark, Greece,, Switzerland and Para
guay. While thorouglily impressed with
the wisdom of sound economy in the for
eign service as iu other branches of the
government, 1 cannot escape the conclusion
at in some instances the withholding of
'uh* 1 &£ V"-'. .. ; ' . ' '• ' .
appropriation* will prove an e*|Nnrivf
economy. and that thx small retrenchment
scoured by a change n( grade in certain
diplomatic port* is not an adequate con
sideration for the loss of influence and im
portance which will attend our foreign
rpproacntatirea under thi* reduction. lam
of the opinion that a re-examination of the
subject will cause a change in aome in
stance* in the conclusion* cached on theac
subject# at the !a*t session of IVHtgiw*.

allowed hv law the court will have di>
pore d of all the claims praaented for adjudi

ment of the general reault of the labor* of
the court to date thereof. It is cause of
satisfaction to know that the method
adopted for the satisfaction of the claw.-*-*
of claim* submitted to which are
of long at and in* and justly entitled to
early consideration, should have proved
sucixwsful and acceptable. It i with satis

northwest angle of the lake of the w>khl* to

TUB EXXKADinoX TREATY WITH ENuLAXK.
1 reserve for a separate communication
to Congress a statement of the condition of
the question* which lately arose with tirwat
Britain, respecting the surrender of fugitive
criminal* under the treaty of IXI2.
rOBEIU.N TREATtIA.
The tHtoman government gave notice
under date of January 15, 1874, of iu de
sire- to terminate the treaty of 1X62 con
cerning commerce and navigation, pursu
ant to the pro virion* of the twenty-second
article thereof. Under thi* notice the
treaty terminated upon the fifth day of
June, 1*76. That government ha* invited i
negotiations toward the eonelusiou of a n*-w i
treaty. By the act of Uongre-> of March ,
-U 1874, the President was authorized,.
when he should receive satisfactory infor
mation that the Ottoman goverium nt or '
that of Egypt had organixeil ih-w tribunals
likely to secure to citizens of the Unite*! ■
State* tin- same iinpartial justice en
joyed under the exercise of judicial
tunctions by diplomatic and cuusular
officer* of the United States, to auuiendnbc
o(<eration of the act of June 22. 1860,
and to for citiaens of the United
States the jurireiitXion of the new tribunal*. !
Satisfactory information having been re
ceived of tlie organization of su-h newr tri
bunal* in Egypt, I caused a proclamation
to be isuued on the twenty-seventh of March j
last, tiu'spending the o|>eratioii of the act of!
June 22, I>6o. in hgypt, according to the
provision!, of the act. A copy of tin- pro
ciatnatioti accompanies this message. The
United States ha* united with the other j
power* in the organization of these courts.
It i* honeil that the jurisdictional quest ion* 1
which have arisen may he reauilv ad
justed, and that thi* advance in judicial re
form may la- hindered by no obstacle*.
The necessary legislation to carry into
effect-the convention reepectiiq; commercial
reciprocity concluded with the
HAWAIIAN ISLAND*
in 1x75 having been had, the proclamation
to carry into effect the convention, a* pro
vided by the act approved August 15,
1876, wa* duly issued upon the 9th day of
September la*L A copy thereof accom
panies this tnemage. Tlie wmmotion*
which have been prevalent in Mexico for
some time past, and which, unhappily,
seem to be not yet wholly quieted, have
led to complaint* of citizens of the United
! State* of injuries by jierson* in authority.
It is honed, however, that these will ulti
mately be adjusted to the satisfaction of
both government*. The
FRONTIER OF THE t'NTT ED STATE*
in that quarter ha*n<>tbeeu exempt from
act# of violence by citizen* of one re-public
on those of the other. The frequence of
these is supposed to Ire- increased, and tlieir
adjustment made more difficult, by the
considerable change* in the course of the .
lower part of the Rio Grande river, which
river is a part of the Ixmndary between the
two countries. These change* have placed
on either side of that river portions of land
which, by existing conventions, belong to
the jurisdiction of the government on the
opposite side of the river. The subject of
adjustment of this cause of difficulty is
under consideration between the two repub
lics.
The government of the United State* of
Colombia has paid the award in the case of
the steamer Monlijos, seized by the authori- i
ties of that government some vear* since,
and the amount has been trans/erred to the
claimants.
MEXICAN CLAIMS.
It is with satisfaction that I am able to
announce that the joint commission for the
adjustment of claims between the United
States and Mexico, under tlie convention of
1868, the duration of which has been several
times extended, ha* brought its labors to a
close.
From the report of the agent sf the
I'nited States, which accompanies the pa
per* transmitted herewith, it will 1* seen
that within the time limited by the coin -
mix-ion one thousand and seventeen claims
on the part of citizens of the United State*
against Mexico were referred to the com
mission.
Of these claim* 831 were dismissed or !
disallowed, and in 186 cases awards were
made in favor of the claimants against the
Mexican republic, amounting in the ag
gregste to $4,125,622.20. Within the same
(■eriod 998 claims on the part or citizens of
the Mexican republic against the United :
States were referred to the commissien. Of
these claims 831 were dismissed or disal
lowed, and in 167 eases awards were made
in favor of the claimants against the United
States, amounting in tlie aggregate to
$150,498.41.
Monthly payment* of a very small part
of the amount due by the government of
Venezuela to citiaens of the United States
on account of claims of the latter against
that government continue to Is- made with
reasonable punctuality.
FRAfDVLEXT NATURALIZATION.
In former messages 1 have called the
attention of Congress to the necessity of leg
islation with regard to fraudulent natural
ization, and to the subject of expatriation
and the election of nationality. The num
bers of person* of foreign birth seeking a
kaine in the United State*, the ease nnd
facility with which the honest immigrant
may, after the lapse of a reasonable time,
become possessed of all the privilege* of
citizenship of the United State*, ana the
frequent occasions which induce such -
adopted citizen* to return to tlie country of
their birth, render the subject of naturali
zation and the safeguards which exjierience
has proved necessary for the protection of
the honest naturalized citizen of paramount .
importance. The very simplicity in the re
quirements of law on this question afford
opportunity for fraud, and the want of uni
formity in the proceedings and records of
the various courts, and in the forms of the
certificates of naturalization issued, afford a
constant source of difficulty. I suggest no
additional requirement* to the acquisition
of citizenship beyond those now existing,
but I invite the earnest attention of Congress
to the necessity and wisdom of some pro
vision regarding uniformitv in the records ;
and certificates, and providing against the
frauds which frequently take place, and for
the vacating of a record of naturalization
obtained in fraud. These provisions are
needed in aid and for the protection of the
honest citizen of foreign birth, and for
the want of which he is made lo suffer not
infrequently. The United States has insisted
upon the right of expatriation, and ha*
obtained, after a long struggle, an adtuis
aion of tire* principle contended for hv ac
quiescence therein on the part of many
foreign power*, and by the conclusion of
treaties on that subject. It is, however,
but justice to the government to which
such naturalised citire-n* have formerly
owed allegiance, a* well t to the United
State-, that certain fixed aiul definite lule*
should l<c adopted governing such case*,
and providing how expatriation uia\ l<e
accomplished. White ittiitiimrtstila in large
nuui tiers becoui* ciliaena of the United
Stales, it i- also true that |K>r#oit* both na
tive Unit and naturalised once citi*eu*of
the United States, either by formal aot* or
a* the c(leel ot a relies <if facts and eiivuui
ttancea, abtiuihui their ciirintship and
ivare to lie entitled to the protection of the
I nited States, but continue, on convenient
invasion*, to assart a claim to pMtcetion in
the absence of provision on these questions.
statin or * m win' a s noMnat,
And in this connection 1 again invite
your attention to the noevredty of legislation
concerning the uiarriagwi ot American eitl
ten# coutraeted ahroad, and concerning the
statu* of American women who in am

can parents in a foreign country. The
delicate aud complicated question* Con*
anually oeeurriug with rcie rvnee lo natur

I iuvik- your sjiecial attention to the fol

army during the war U-reuiovtsl froiii th.
offices of the quartermaster and i-ouimi—are
general* ami transferred to the Snthern

precisely similar nature to thuwe now Iwfore
the Southern claim* coinnii—o n and the

clerical force for their examination no
nre-.-r maehiuerv for investigating the
loyalty of the claimants* Second—That
Fongrea* sanction the scheme of an anuuitv
liiml for the lienelit of the families of Ue
i-eared officers, and that it al*o provide for
tlie |*-rmnnenl organisation of
THE an: SAL SERVICE,
loth of which were recommended in mv
last annual message. Third —That the
iiianufactiiring Operations of tin- ordnance
department 1* concentrated at three arsen
al* and an armory, and that the remaining
arsenals besold and tlie proceed* applied to
thi* object by the ordnance department.
RIVER AXD HARBOR APEROPRIATtoXS.
The appropriation* for river and harbor
improvement* for the current y*ar were five
milliou and fifteen thousand dollar*. With
nty approval, the secretary of war dire-cted
that o! this amount two million dollar*
should be exjiended, and no new work
should be U-guu and none pnree< uied which
were not of national importance. Subse
quently thi* amount was increased to
f-2,237,600, and lh w rk* are now progress
ing on this bssi*. The improvement of the
south pa*# of the Mississippi river, under
Jaime 11. Kada and his associate*, is pro

there is a channel of twenty aud three
tenth* feet iu depth between the jet lie* at
the mouth of the pass, and eighteen and
one-half feet at the head of the pass.

TUB XAVT.
The report of the secretary of the navv
•how* that branch of the service to lie in
condition as effective as it is |>oih!e to
keep it with the means and .-luthorily
given the department. It is, of course, not
possible to rival the costly and progressive
establishment* of great Kurojieaii jiowor*
with the old material of our navy, to which
no increase has been authorized since the
war, except the eight small cruiscm built
to supply the place of others which had
gone to decay. Yet tlie most ha* leen
done that was possible with the mean* at
command, and by siihstanti&lly rebuilding
some of our old ships with durable ma
terial, and completely repairing our moni
tor fleet, the navy has been gradually so
brought up that, though it does not main
tain its relative position among the pro
gressive navies of the world, it is now iu a
condition more powerful and effective than
it ever has heen in time of peace. Tiie
complete repair* of our five heavy iron
clads are only delayed on account of the
inadequacy of the appropriations made last
year lor the working bureau* of the de
partment, which were actually less in
amount than those made before the war,
notwithstanding the greatly enhanced price
of labor and materials and the increase
in the cost of the naval service growing out
of the universal use and groat expense of
steam machinery. The money necessary
for these repair* should be provided at
once, that they may Iw completed without
further unnecessary delay and expense.
When this is done all the strength that
there is in our navy will lie devehqicd and
useful to its full capacity, nnd it will le
powerful for purposes of defense and also
tor offensive action, should the necessity
for that arise within a reasonable distance
from our shore*. The fact that our navy i
not more modern and jiowerful than it i
ha* been made a catme of complaint against
the secretary of tlie navy by persons who at
the sametime criticise and complain of his
endeavors to bring the navy that we have
to it* best ami most efficient condition, but
the good serife of the country w ill under
stand that it is really due to Ilia practical
action that we have at thia time any effec
tive navy force at command.
THE POST-OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
The report of the jifistmaster-general
shows the excess of expenditures* excluding
expenditure* on account of previous years,
over receipt* for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1876, to be $4,151,88(5.66. Estimated
expenditures for the year ending June 30,
1878, are $36,723,432.43. Estimated reve
nue for the same period is $30,645,165,
leaving an estimated excess of expenditure
to be appropriated a* a deficiency of $3,-
078,267.43. The postmaster-general, like
his predecessors, ia convinced that a change
in the basis of adjusting the salaries of
postmasters of the fourth class is necessary
for the good of the service as well as for the
interest of the government, and urgently
recommends that the compensation of the
class of postmasters above mentioned be
based upon the business of their respective
offices, as ascertained from the sworn returns
to the auditor of stamps canceled.

THE CENTESKIAI. EXHIBITION.
The International Kxhihition held in
Philadelphia titi* veer in commemoration
of the one hundred anniversary of Ameri
can iiidejwrmience. ha* proven a great sue
oe*. and will, no doubt, he of enduring ad
vantage to the country. It ha* shown the
great ptvgrvs- in the arts, sciences, and me
chanical skill made in a -ingle century,
ami dcuiouftlrated that we are but little TlE
hunt older nations in any one branch,
while iu *OME we scarcely have a rival.
It ha* served, too, n<<t only to bring jwojih*
and prxxluct* of skill ami labor from all
part* of the worhi together, but in bringing
together jwoplc frM all sections of our
own count nr. which muot prove a great be
nefit in the information imparled and pride
of country engendered. It has been sug
gested by scientist* interested in and con
nected with the Smilb-oitian In-titution in
a communication herewith that the govern
ment exiiibil he removed to the > apital, and
a suitable building be erected or purchased
for its accommodation as a jsrrmoiienl ex
hibit. I earnestly recommend this, ami be
lieving that Cougress would second tin
view. 1 directed that all exhi
bits at the Centennial Exhibition should re
main where they are, except tucb a* might
be injured by remaining in a building nut
intended a* a protection in inclement wea
ther, or such as may be wanted by the de
partment furnishing ihem. until the ques
tion of a jwrnuauent exhibition is acted
on. Although the money* appropriate.)
by Comma* to enable tbe parti. I|>alion of
the several executive department* in the
international Exhibition of 1K76 were not
sufficient 'o carry out tiie undertaking to
the full extent at first contemplated, it
gi ve me JILCA-urv to refer to the wry effi
cient and creditable manner in which lite
board apjwiinL-D from the* -.-vera] depart
ment- to provide an exhibition on the part
of the government have discharged their
duties with tiie fund* placed at their com
mand without a precedent to guide tiiem
in the prvp*ration of such a display. The
success of their labor* was amply attMUwi
by the sustained attention which the con
teiiUof the govrniniaiil building sttracL-d
during the J<erioxl of the Exhibition from
both foreign and native visitor*. lam
strongly impressed WITLI the value of the
collection made hv th<- government for the
purjwiee of tiie I'lxhibilion, illustrating, A*
it does, tiie mineral reajuree* of the coun
try, the statistical and {•ractical evidence*
of our growth as a nation, and the uw* of
the mechanical arts, and the ajiplicatiuns
of applied science iu the administration of
the AIRAIRW < f government. Many nations
have voluntarily contributed their exhibits
to the I nited State* to inrreaeo the interest
in any permanent exhibition Congress may
jirovide for. For this act of generoeity
they should receive the thank*, of the JWO
(>!e, and 1 rvsjw'ctfully suggest that a re-so
ul ion of Congress to that effect L>E adopted.
THE ELECTION OF I'RCIDBNT.
The attention of Cotiffcw* cannot L>e too
earnestly called to the neevwsity of throwing
some greater safeguard over the method of
choosing ami declaring the election of a
President • Under the present system there
seems to he no provided remedy for contest
ing theclection of any one Stale. The remedy
is jiartially, no doubt, in the enlightenment
of electors. The compulsory sujijwjrt of the
free schiwil, ami the disfranchisement of all
who canno' read and write the English lan
guage after a fixed probation, would meet my
hearty approval. 1 would not make this
apply, however, to those already voters, but
I would to all becoming so after the expi
ration of the jirohation fixed UJXM. For
eigners coming to the country to ho
comc citizens, who arc educate*! in their
own language, would acquire the re
quisite knowledge of ours during the
necessarv residence to obtain naturaliza
tion. IF they did not take interest enough
in our language to acquire sufficient knowl
edge of it to enable them tostudvthe institu
tions ami laws of the country intelligently,
I wouhl not confer tt|n them the right to
make such laws, nor select those who do. I
append to this message, for convenient
reference, a synoposia of administrative
events, and of all recommendations made
by me during the last seven years. Time
niav show some of these recommendations
not to have been wisely conceived, but I
believe the larger part will lie no discredit
to the administration. < >ne of these recom
mendations inet with the united opjmaition
of one jtolitical party in the Senate and
with a strong opjiooition from the other
member*—the treaty for the annexation of
SANTO DOMINGO
to the United States—to which I shall
sjiecially refer, maintaining as I do tiiat if
my views had been concurred in the coun
try wouhl IKS in a more pmsjierous condi
tion to-day,both politically and financially.
Santo rtouiingo is fertile, and ujwin its soil
may he grown just those tropical products
of which the United States use so much, and
which are produced or prepared for market
now by slave lalior almost exclusively,
namely, sugar, coffee, dye-woods, ma

seventy-five per cent, of the exports of
Cuba are consumed in the United States.
A large percentage of the exports
of lirazil also find the same innrket.
There are paid for almost exclusively iu

Executive Mansion, Hoctuhrr 6, 1f76.
The United State* Nat y.
The report of tiro secretary of the
uavy of the United Btatoa shows that
there are belong tug to the navy 14(] vw
mis of 150,157 tons imuiNUreuieut. Mi
cluaivo of howitz-rs ttud (i.ittiug guns
they carry 1,142 guns. Of those, 123,
imrrvmp 013 guns, with a measurement
:of 120,898 tons, have steam power, and
twenty*three, carrying nominally 22'.*
guns, are sailing \i s*els. In 1869 there
were 'JOB Yeast-is. Of these, there have
I been sold forty-six; brokt-u up,eighteen;
lost at sea, five ; makiuu sixty nine ve*
seU, thus reducing the number to 1.34
venae Is. To which add new vessels, ten;
purchased vessels, two. Thus making
the whole uumtwr on the register at the
present time 140 vessels. Of our pres
ent force of every class, forty are built
of iron, uamely: Five double t arreted
I ironclads, flftecu single-turretod moni
tors ; two torpedo boats, and eighteen
steamers of various classi s. Of the re
mainder, sixty-five are of live oak,
namely : one ironclad, five steamers of
the first rate, twenty steamers of the
rroond rate, nineteen eteameis of the
third rate, and twenty sailing vessels.
The remaining forty-one are white oak
ships of almost every class.
Of the whole number, seventy live
ore in actual service and fonr are pre
paring for sea; sixteen may lie consid
ered as entirely unfit for future service,
and the remainder are at the various
1 uavy yards, some requiring slight, and
others extensive repairs, but most of
them could be made ready for any
! special service in a fhort time. Seven
-1 teen of our steamers have been furumbed
with compound engines and boiler* of
the best class, and with tho latest im
provements, and nearly all our other
steamers hare, during the last eight
years, been supplied with new boilers,
and their machinery extensively re
paired. There is also on hand, stottsl
at the various navy yards, live oak tim
ber sufficient fur thirty five new ships
of-war, besides a large quantity other
valuable timber and naval material of
every kind.
As a remedy for the reduction of the
force of our fleet from 8,500 to 7,500
men, and for the purpose of maintaining
a trained clans of ta< u, skilled in Uw ir
duties and devoted to their flag, the
secretary repeats hia recommendation of
lost year, that Oongrcas shall give nccea
sary" authority to enlist auunally 750
lioya for the uavy. Audi r existing laws
but in addition to the number of men
now allowed. The system of thus train
ing boys has been swccrviiful. Tha
secretary also urge* that enlisted men of
the uavy may be allowed an outfit of
clothing and a tanking system for the
navy such as now prevails iu the army.
The secretary renews the recommen
dation made in bis naootneivc annual re
l>orta in reference to our navy yards and
stations, ana to urge that their reeourots
may be increaiivl and that nfficiont ap
propriations may be made to keep them
in thorough repair ami ready for any
emergency which may arise.
On the first of July, 1875, the amount
of the appropriations applicable to tho
fiscal year ending June 30, 1876, was
818,301,731 27. The actual expendi
tures of these appropriations during
that period, namely, from July 1, 1875,
to June 30, 1876, was 817,937,354.72,
or about $<164,376.55 lees than the wholo
amount. The appropiiations available
for the present year, In ginning Jttiv 1,
1876, are, iu the aggregate, $12,961,fc)0.
The wholo amount of these appropria
tions, drawn np to the first of the cur
rent month, was $7,879,758.19. From
this may be deducted tho amount iu the
1 lands of paymasters and agents of the
government, and the amount refunded
during tho period alsive mention**!,
which will reduce tho amount of
tin S3 appropriations actually expended
since the commencement of the fiscal
vear and during the working months to
less than 87,000,000. The estimates for
the general maintenance of the uavy for
the next year are 818,646.012. Theam'onut
estimated for new buildings and the re
pairs and improvements ueoofsary at
the various nnvy yards, stations and
hospitals is 82,908,596. There in also
submitted ty the bureau of orduauoc
an estimate for the sum of $775,500,
which is deemed necessary to provide
the proper Amount for onr large iron
clads amf other ships now being fitted
for sea. This shows au aggregate sum
of about 8300,000 less thau tho amount
which was asked for last year for like
purpoacs.
In regard to the pay of offioers of the
navy, the secretary says that after care
ful consideration of this subject he is
convinced Congress, when they fuliy
understand it, will have no dosire to
withhold from any branch of the service
tho pay which would accrue to it under
the ordinary o|x ration of the laws and
customs goveruiug the action of tho de
partment, and will not wish to deprive
well deserving officers whose lives arc
oonsecrntEl to their conn try'a service,
and to whom no personal fault is im
puted, of the means for the proper sup- j
Eort and education of their families, lie
as, law id os the ordinary estimates for
the next fiscal vcar, submitted an addi
tional one for tuo sum of $1,550,000 to
supply the inevitable deficiency in tho
" pay appropriation," and to enable the
department to rescind its order placing
All unemployed offiaors on furlough pay,
and to make np to those who have lieeu
or may ho so reduced without fault on
their part the amount of pay which they
would otherwise have received. Con
gress will lie earnestly pressed to muke
this provision, and if it do so, the de
partment will have great gratification in
carrying it out, otherwise tho service
and the department will have no alterna
tive but to submit to tho deficiency nud
the reduction which it entails.

one Buuday afternoon in her kitchen BV

she tried to adapt to a village song.
While thus disporting herself, she was
surprised by her employer, who, quite
interested, made her repeat tho ex|>eri
