- If it be thought desirable - and eonsti•
tutional-that it should be so limited as
to make the President merely a com
3non informer against other public
agents, ho should at least be permitted
to act in that capacity before some open
tribtinal, independent of party politics,
ready to investigate the merits of every
case, furnished with the means of tak
ing evidence, and bound to decide ac._
cording to established rules. This
would guarantee the safety of the an
euser when lie set s in good faith, and
at the same, time secure the rights of
the other party. I speak, of course.
with all proper .respect for the present
Senate ; but-it does - not seem tome that
any legislative body can be so constitu
ted as to insure its fitness for these
functions.
it is not theatheory of this govern
ment that public offices are the prOper
ty of those who hold them. They are
given merely-as a trust for the public
benefit; sometimes for a fixed period,
sometimes during good behavior ; but
generally they are' liable to be termina
ted, at the pleasure of the appointing
power, which represents the collective
majesty and speaks the will of the peo
ple. The forced retention in office of a
single dishonest 'personmay work
great injury to the public interests.—
The danger to the public. service comes
not from, the power to remove, bat
from the power to appoint; therefore,
it was that the framers of the Constitu
tion loft the power of
.removal unre
stricted,- while they_ gave the Senate a
right,to reject all - appointments which,
in its opinion," worn not fit to be made.
- .etude reflection on this subject will
probably satisfy all who have the good
of the country at heart, that our best
course is to take the Constitution for
our• guide, walk in the path marked
out by the founders of the Republic,
and obey the rules made sacred by the
observance of our groat predecessors.
Our Finances
The present condition of our finances
and circulating medium, is one to
Which your early consideration is invi
ted.. The proportion which the cur
rency of any country should bear to
the whole value of.annual produce cir
culated by its means, is a question upon
wbieh. political economists .have not
agreed. Nor can it be controlled by
'legislation, but must be left to the irre
vocable laws which everywhere regu
late commerce and trade. The oireu-
Aating medium will ever irresistibly
flow to those points whore it is in great
,est. demand..
- The law`of demand and supply is as
unerring as that which regulates the
tides of the ocean; and,'indeed, curren
cy, like thetides,-hai its ebbs and flows
throughout the commercial world.--
At the beginning of the Rebellion, the
hundred millions of dollars; now, the
circulation of national bank notes, and
those known as legal tenders, is nearly
seven hundred millions. While it is
urged J)37 some that this amount should
be increased, others contend that a de
cided reduction is absolutely essential
to the best interests of the country.
In view of these diverse opinions it,
may _he well, to ascertain the real- a•
Mount of-our paper issues, when com
pared with a metallic or convertible
currency. For this purpose let us ins
quire how much gold and silver could
be piirchased by the seven hundred
millions of paper.money now in circu
lation :Probably not more than half the
amount of the latter. Showing that
when . our paper currency is compared
with gold and silver, its commercial
value is compressed into three hundred
and:: fifty millions. - This Striking; fact
makes it the obvious duty of the goy
eruineet, as early as may be consistent
with - the principles of - sound political
economy, to take such measures as
wilt enable the holder of its notes and
those of the national banks, to convert
thoth without loss into specie, or its e
quiva,lent,_ _ A reduction of our paper
circulating medium need not; necessa
rily, follow. This, however, would 'de
pend upon the law of demand and sup.
ply, though it should be borne in mind
that by making legal tender and bank
notes convertible into coin or its equiv
alent, their present specie value in the
hands of their holders would be en
hanced ono hundred per cent. Legis
lation for the accomplishment of a re
sult So.:desirable , is demanded by the
highest public considerations. The
Constitution contemplates that the cir
culating medium of the country shall
he - Uniform in "quality and value. At
the time of - the -formation of that
instrument the country had just emer
ged" *rim the - war .!zif. the Revolution,
and Wasenfferingfronf the oxiitenee of
a redundant and worthless currency:
Gold and Silver
The sages of that period were anx
ious to protect their posterity from the
evils Which they themselves had expe
rienced.. Hence, in providing a circu
lating medium, they conferred upon
Congress the power to coin money and
regulate the value thereof, at the same
time prohibiting the States. from mak
ing anything but gold and silver a ten
der in payment of debts. The auoma•
lous condition of our currency is in
striking contrast with that which was
originally designed, Our circulation
now embraces—first, notes of the na
tional banks, which aro made receiva
ble for all dues duo the government,
excluding imports; and by all its cred
itors, 'excepting payment of interest
upon its bonds and the securities them
selves; second, legal tender notes issued
by the„United States, and which the
law requires shall bo received as well
in payment of all debts between citi
zens as of all government dues, ex
cepting imports; and, third, gold and
silver coin. By the operation of our
present system of finances, however,
the metallic currency, when collected,
is reserved only for one class of gove 'a
ment creditors, who, holding its bonds,
semi-annually receive their interest in
coin from the national Treasury.
They aro thus made to occupy an
invidious position which may bo used
to strcingthen the arguments of those
who would bring into disrepute the ob
ligations of the nation. in' the pay
ment of all its debts, the plighted faith
of the government should be inviolably
maintained. But while it acts_ with
justice towards the bondholder who
loaned his money that the integrity of
the Union might be preserved, it
should, at, the same time observe good
faith with the great masses of the peO
ple Who, having rescued the Union
train the perils of rebellion; now bear
the burdens of taxation that the gov
ernment may be able to fulfill its en
gagements. There is uu reaeou whiph
will( lie accepted as satisfactOry by the
peopte why those who defend us on the I
land and protect us on tho sea, the
pensioner upon the gratitude of the
nation bearing the sears and wounds
received while in its service, the public
servants in the various departments of
the government, the farmer, who sup
plies the soldiers of the army and the
sailors of the navy, tho artisan, who
toils in the nation's workshops, or the
mechanics and laborers who build its
edifices and construct its forts and vet
' sels of war, should, in payment of their
just and hard-earned dues, receive de
preciated paper while another cuss of
their countrymen, no more deserving,
are paid in coin of gold and silver.—
Equal and exact justice requires that
all the creditors of the government
should be paid in a currency - pnssessing
a uniform value;
Resumption
This can only be "accomplished by
the restoration of currency to the stan
dard established by the Constitution,
and by this means we would remove a
discrimination which may, if it has not
already done so, create a prejudice that
may become deep-rooted and wide
spread, and imperil the national credit.
The feasibility of making our currency
cbrrespond with the- constitutional
standard may be seen by reference to
a few facts derived from our commer
cial statistics. 'The production of pre
cious metals in the United States from
1849 to 1857, inclusive, amounted to
$579,000,000 ; from 1858 to 18130, inclu
sive, to $137,500,000 ; and from 1861 to
1867, inclusive to sls7,soo,ooo—mak
ing the grand aggregate of products
since 1819,81,174,000,000. The amount
of specie coined from 1849 to 1857, in
clusive, was $439,000,000; from 1858 to
1860, inclusive, $125,000,000; and from
1861 to 18.67, inclusive, $310,000,000
making the total coinage since 1819,
$874,000,000. From 1849 to 1857, in
clusive, the net exports of specie am- !
ounted to $'271,000,000; ,front ISSB to
1860, inclusive, to $148,000,000; and
from 1861 to 1867, inclusive, $322,000,-
000—making the aggregate of exports
since 1849, $741,000,000. These fig
ures show an excess of product over
not exports of $433,000,000.
There are in the Treasury $111,000,-
000 in coin, something more than $40,-
000,000 in 0114111a:00n on the - Pacific
coast, and a few millions in the Na
Lionel and other Banks—in all about
$160,000,000. This, 'however, taking
into account the specie in the country
prior to 1849, loaves more than -three
hundred millions of dollars which have
not been accounted for by exportation,
'and therefore may yet, remain in the
country.
These aro important facts and show
how comolotely the rimencv
IG
77 116 - u amriameri - g MiiiiMes;and'
causing it to be exported as a mere ar
ticle of trade, to add to the trioney
capital of foreign lands. Thershow
the necessity of retiring our paper
money, that the return of gold and sil
ver to the avenues of trade may bo in
vited, and a demand created which will
cause the retention at home of at least
so mach of the producti.ms of our rich
and inexhaustible gold bearing fields
as may be sufficient for purposes of
circulation.
It is unreasonable to expect a return
to a sound currency so long as the Go
vernment, by continuing to issue irre
deemable notes, fills the channels of
circulation with depreciated paper.—
Notwithstanding a coinage by our
mints, since 1849, of eight hundred and
seventy-four millions of dollars, the
people aro now strangers to the cur
rency which *as designed for their use
and benefit, and specimens of the pre
cious metals bearing the national de
vice aro seldom seen, except when-pro
duced to gratify the interest excited by
their novelty. If depreciated paper is
to be continued as the permanent cur
rency of the country, and all our coin
is to become a mere article of traffic
and speculation, to, the enhancement
in price of all that is indispensable to
the comfort of the people, it would be
wise economy to, abolish our mints,
thus saving the nation • the care and
expense incident to such establish
ments, and-let our precious metals be
exported in bullion.
The time hits come, however, when
the government and National Banks
should be required to take the most
efficient steps and make all necessary
arrangements for • the rosuniption of
specie payments at the earliest practi
cable period. Specie payments having
been once resumed by the Government
and Banks, all notes or bills of paper
issued by either of tikes denomination
than twenty dollars_ should by law be
excluded from circulation - , So that the
people may have the benefit and con
venience of a gold' and silver currency
which in all their business transactions
will be uniform in value at home and
abroad.
Ail. Sound Circulating Medium.
Every man of property or industry,
every man who desires to- preserve
what ho honestly possesses, or to obtain
what be cap honestly earn, has a di
rect interest in maintaining a Safe cir
culating medium—such a medium as
shall be real and substantial, not liable
to vibrato with opinions, not subject to
be blown up or blown down by the
breath of speculation, but - to be made
stable and secure. A disordered cur
rency is one of the greatest political
evils. It undermibes the virtues nec
essary to the support of the social sys
tem, and encourages propensities de
structive of its happiness; it wars
against industry, frugality, and econo
my, and it foSters the evil spirit of ex
travagame and speculation. It has
been assorted by one of our profound
and most gifted statesmen, that "of all
the contrivances for cheating the la•
boring classes of mankind, none has
been more effectual than that which
deludes thorn with paper money: This
is the most effectual of inventions to
fertilize the rich man's fields by the
sweat of the poor man's brow. Ordi
nary tyranny, oppression, excessive
taxation—these bear lightly on the
happiness of the mass of the communi
ty compared with a fraudulent curren
cy, and the robberies committed by de
preciated paper. Our own history has
recorded_ for our instruction enough,
' and more than enough of the demoral
izing tendency, the -injustice, and the
intolerable oppression on the virtuous
and well disposed of a degraded paper
currency, authorized by law, or in any
way countenanced by Government."
It is one of the most successful devices,
in times of peace or war, expansions
or rovulsions, to accomplish the trans
fer of all the'precious metals from the
great mass of the people into the hands
of the few, where they aro boarded in
secret places, or deposited in strong
boxes under bolts and bars, while the
people are left to endure all the incon•
veuienee, sacrifice, and demoralization
resulting from the use of a depreciated
and worthless paper money.
Working cf the Financial System.
The condition of our finances and the oper
ations of our revenue system are set forth
and fully explained in the able and instruc
tive report of the Secretary of the Treasury.
On the 30th of Juno, 1866, the public debt
amounted to $2,783,425,870; on the 30th June
last it:was $2,602,199,215, showing a reduc
tion during the fiscal year of $01,226,604.
During the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1867,
the receipts were $400,634,010, and the ex
penditures $340,729,129, leaving an available
surplus of $143,904,880. ltis estimated that
the receipts for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1808, will bo $417,161,928, and that the
expenditures will reach the sum of $303,269,-
226, leaving in the Treasury a surplus of s2s,-
892,702. For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1869, it is estimated that the receipts wal
amount to $381,000,000, and that the expect.
ditpres will be $372,000,000, showing an ex.
COBB of $9,000,000 in favor of the Government
The Revenue Byetem
The attention of Congress is earnestly in
vited to the necessity of a thorough revision
of our revenue system. Our internal revenue
laws and impost system should be so adjusted
as to bear most heavily on articles of luxury,
leaving the necessaries of life as free from
taxation as may be consistent with the real
.wants of the Government, economically ad
ministered. Taxation would not then fall
unduly on the man of moderate means; and
while none would be entirely exempt front
assessment, all, in proportion to their pecuni
ary abilities, would contribute toward the
support °film State. A modification of the
internal revenue system, by a largo reduction
in the number of articles now subject to tax,
would be followed by results equally advan
tageous to the citizen of the government. It
would render the execution of the law loss
expensive and more certain, remove obstruc
tions to industry, lessen' the temptations to
evade the law, diminish the violations and
frauds perpetrated upon its provisions, make
its operations less inquisitorial, and greatly
reduce in numbers the army of tax-gatherers
created by the system, who "take from the
mouth of honest labor the bread it has earn
ed." Retrenchment; reform, and economy,
should be carried into every branch of the
public service that the expenditures of the
Government may be reduced and the people
relieved from oppressive taxation ; a sound
currency should be restored, and the public
faith in regard to the national debt sacredly
observed. The accomplishment of these im
portant results, together with the restoration
of the Union of the States upon the principles
of the Constitution, would inspire confidence
at home and abroad in the stability of our in
stitutions, and bring to the nation prosperity,
peace and good-will.
The War Department.
The report of the Secretary of War, ad in
terim, exhibits the operations of the army
and of the several Bureaus of the War De
partment. The aggregate strength of our
military force, on the 30th of September last,
was 56,315. The total estimate for military
it „to / 1110111 CM%
_A
deficiency in last yearrs - appropriation of $l3,
000,000. 'JIM' i‘t itPn;
account of the service of the War Department
from January 1 to October 20, 1867—a peri
on of ten months—amounted to $100,807,000.
The expenses of the military establishment,
as well as the numbers of the army, are now
three-times as great as they have ever been
in time of peace; while the discretionary
power is vested in the Executive to add mil
lions to tli!s expenditure by an increase of
the army to the maximum strength allowed
by the law.
The menacing attitude of seine of the war
like bands of Indians inhabiting the district
of country between the Arkansas and Platte
rivers, and portions of Dakotah Territory, re
quired the presence of a large military force
in that region. Instigated by real or imagi
nary grievances, the Indians' occasionally
committed acts of barbarous violence upon
emigrants and our frontier settlements ; but a
general Indian war has been providentially
averted. The Commissioners under the -act
of 20th July, 1867, were invested with full
power to adjust existing difficulties, negotiate
treaties with the disaffected bands, and select
for them reservations remote from the travel
ed routes between the Mississippi and the Pa
cific. They entered without delay upon the
execution of their trust, but have not yet
made any official report of their proceedings.
It is of vital importance ;that our distant Te
rritories should be exempt from Indian out
breaks, and that the construction of the Pa.
cific Railroad, an object of national import
ance, should not be interrupted by hostile
tribes. These objects, as well as the material
interests and the moral and intellectual im
provement of the Indians, can be most effect
ually secured by concentrating them upon
portions of country set apart for their exclu
sive use, and located at points remote from
our highways and encroaching white settle
ments.
Since the commencement of the second ses•
sion of the Thlity-ninth Congress, five bond.
red and ton miles of road have been construc
ted on the main line and branches of the Pa
cific railway. The line from Omaha is ra
pidly approaching the eastern base of the
Rocky Mountains, whilst the terminus of the
last section of constructed road in California,
accepted by the Government on the 24th of
October lust, was but eleven miles distant
from the summit of the Sierra Nevada. The
remarkable energy evinced by the companies
offers the strongest assurance that the com
pletion of the road from Sacramento to Oma-
ha will not be long deferred.
During the last fiscal year seven millions
forty ono thousand ono hundred and fourteen
acres of public land were disposed of, and the
cash receipts from sales and fees exceeded
oue half million dollars the sum realizedfrom
those sources during the preceding year,
The amount paid to pensioners, including
expenses of disbursements, was $18,610,965,
and thirty-six thousand four hundred and
eighty-two names were added to the rolls.
The entire number of pensioners on the 30th
of June last was one hundred and fifty-five
thousand four hundred and seventy four.
Eleven thousand six hundred and fifty five
patents and designs were issued during the
year ending September 30, 1867, and at that
date the balance in the Treasury to the cred
it of the Patent fund was $286,607.
The Navy.
The report of the Secretary of the Navy
states that we have seven squadrons active
ly and judiciously employed, under efficient
and able commanders, in protecting the
persons and property of American citizens,
maintarning the dignity and power of the
Government, and promoting the commerce
and business interests of our, countrymen
in every part of the world. Of tho two hun
dred and thirty-eight thousand vessels com
posing the present navy of the United States,
fifty-six carrying five hundred and seven guns
are in squadron service. During the year the
number of vessels in commission has beeen
reduced twelve, and there aro thirteen less
on squadron duty than there were at the
date of the last report. A large number of
vessels were commenced and in the course
of construction when the war terminated,
and although Congress had made the neces
sary appropriations for their completion,
the Department has either suspended work
upon them or limited tho slow completion
of the steam vessels, so as to meet the con
tracts for raaohinnry made with private
establishments. The total expenditures of
the Navy Department for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1867, were 531,034,011. No
appropriations have been made or revinize I
since the close of the war for the construc
tion and repair of vessels, for steam ma
chinery, ordnance, provisions and clothing,
fuel, hemp, &c., the balances under these sev
eral heads having been more than sufficient
for current expenditures. It should also be
stated to the Credit of the Department that,
