Washington Dee. 2, 18S2.
Immediately after I had mailed you
my lost letter the President ordered the
removal from office of Charles E. Henry,
Marshal of the Distrlct.of Columbia; D,
B. Ainger, Postmaster and Myron M.
Parker, Assistant Postmaster of the DIs-
trict of Columbia; M. D. Helm, foreman
of the Government printing office, and
ex-Senator George E. Spencer, Govern
ment Director of the Union Pacifio Ball-
road. The removals were made in con
sequence of a report made by George
Bliss, government counsel In the Star
Route prosecutions, an i a letter by tho
Attorney General, covering tho report,
which showed that the dismissed officials
interfered with the administration of
justice in the Star Boute cases. 'The
Marshal of the District," Mr. Brewster
cays, "Is responsible for much of the op
posing sentiment to the case of the Gov-
ernment that was exhibited in court and
out of court during the trial of the Star
Boute case."
From talks with Congressmen hero the
impression seems to bo very general that
nothing whatever will be done with the
tariff by this Concress. It is also be.
lieved by many that an Iutemal Nove
ll ne bill will not be passed this session.
This view Is taken particularly by tariff
reformers, who belong to both tides of
the House And who will oppose the pas
sage of any measure which will iu any
way interfero with tariff revision. It is
claimed by this class of Congressmen
tb.it the two measures should be consld
ered together, and that nothing should
be dons that would render it impractical
1le to reduce or abolish the tariff on nr
tides on hich tho people demand it
Should be reduced or abolished.
There is a disposition on the part of
the hepublicau members of the House to
hasten the passage of the Appropriation
bills during the first part of the session.
A oouference was held yesterday between
Speaker Eeifer and Mr. Hiscock, Chair
man of tbtCommittee on Appropriations,
and this policy was practically agreed
npon. In pursuance of this arrangement
Mr. Hiscock will hold daily session of
tils committee and the Appropriation
bills will be pushed by him to an early
passage and as rapidly as they are report
ed from this committee. Mr. HUcock
hopes to be able to present to the Houte
the majority of theae bills before the
holiday recess, which it is the wish of
the leaders shall bo much shorter than
uuL It appears to be their purpose to
dispose of the most needful JegUlatlou
firtt,and then niako use of the remainder
of the time for the consideration of meas
ures relating to the tariff ond other sub
jects demanding the attention of Con
gress. Winter, which Is due to-day by scbed,
Die time, we in some days ago, and
cams as if it had business on hand and
was quite dttermlned to attend thereto
with promptness and zeal. This will be
a lively winter in Washington, political
ly and socially. As the Forty-seventh
obK baa Hut three months of life re
maining, it will bestir itself to make the
most of that brief space. As Lent comes
in early, society will "push things" with
hamming vim. Crowds are .coming hero
from all quarters! for the fame of Wash
ingtonthe new Washington as the
winter resort of wealth, refinement, wit
and beauty has gone out into all the
land. .A few thousand will be hero from
tho beginning to tho end of tho season.
Many other thousands will make flying
visits or excursions to the Capital. Mot
to have visited Washington is getting to
be a roproach uuder which no well-intentioned
citizen of the great Republic
likes to exist. Those who came lost
winter will come again this winter. Hap
pily there Is room enough for all, andj
the objects to be seen here are interest
lug to every Intelligent person, traveled
or nntraveled, learned or unlearned. As
for social advantages no other American
city can comparo with Washington, nor
is there any other city where Intellectual
improvement hi so delightfully blended
with social eojoyment. Of course all
this rush of visitors will make business
lively. The outlook for a busy, happy,
prosperous winter in Washington is ex
tremely good. Acoi'kt.

Washington, D. 0., Dec. 4, 1882.
Though several days have passed
Washington has not recovered from the
sensation produced by the recent action
of the President in suddenly decapitat
ing some office-holders who were under
stood to be in sympathy with the Star-
route conspirators. It is ttlll tho most
inti resting topic here, because of the ex
pectation that th:ro is to be another
ctroko of the sanio lightning. It is
hardly to be wondered at that a sensa
tion is readily produced by a move of
this sort here at the National Capital,
where tho population consists largely of
office-holders, and of those who depend
on them for a living. When the axe falls
upon even half a dozen of the great army
there is a thrill of some sort sympathy,
indignation, hope or alarm transmitted
through the entire body. Iu the present
instanco the tetuwtiou was the result not
so muoh of the Actual removals, or, in.
deed, of the causes for which they were
made, as of the suddenness with which
the axe fell. Every ono knew that the
most of those removed bad been guilty
of gross misconduct, that the evidence
of this fact had been in possession of the
Government for a long time, and that tho
interests of justice had been seriously in'
terfered with by the unaccountable pro
crastination in dealing with such obvi
ous cases. It was owiug to the general
imprecsion that because nothing had
been done in the matter nothing would
be that the rtinovals excited so much
comment.
There is no disguising the fact that
there are in Washington, in office and
out of office, many sympathizers with
the Star-route thievts. Some aro pur-1
chased friends in one way and another,-
and some are old political associates
whose moral sensibilities are more or
less blunted. But as a rule public sen'
titutnt sustains the President, and the
hope Is expressed that after all the 'Gov
ernment really is in earnest, and that the
result of the approachlng.new trial may
be less abortive than the first. -Tho
frionds of the conspiritors threaten vig
orous retaliation, and are already making
ohargea against the Attorney General,
which they say will be brought before
Congress, with a demand for an investi
gation into tho expenditures of the De
partment of Justice. It all relates to the
luxurious finishing of Mr. Brewster's
private rooms in tho department, and is
considered pretty small potatoes. Mar
shal Henry's plea that he is made a mar
tyr because he was a friend of President
Garfield is bosb. Had he not been the
appointee and friend of the late Presi
dent he woald have been removed months
ago.
Secretary Chandler has a plan for in
cluding in his department a little group
of semi-naval bureaus now in the Treas
ury Department tho revenue marine,
the light-house and the life-saving serv
ice. This would give a number of pleas
ant land billets for naval officers, most
of whom in the higher rank of the ser
vice have spent, under the present sys
tem, from 10 to 50 per cent of their ser
vice on shore, and it would multiply the
civil patronage of the Secretary of the
Navy at least two-fold. Nobody Who
knows Washington will expect any such
plan to succeed. The admirable aud
necessary change made in creating the
geographical and geological survey was
only carried out with great difficulty, and
Mr. Chandler might as will try to carry
off under each arm one of the pillars in
front of the Treasury bullying as detach
one of the bureaus now belonging to that
department. The only serious change
which has taken place in the department
relations siuco the foundation of the
Government has been the loss o: patents
and land3 by the State Department, and
it took the organization of a new dc
partment the Interior to effect this.
Government departments could be im
proved at many points by bringing to
gether coguate work, saving money and
improving the efficiency of the bervicc;
but there is no reason to suppose that
anything ct tbejiind will be done.
Mr. James B. EaJs will be in Washing
ton this V, inter, and we expect to hear a
good deal about a certain inter-occanlc
canal to which all the fort Ign powers aro i owner of one of the beat race horses of
eager to subscribe, almost tumbling ever, the year. Rumor bad him engaged to
each other in their desire to hurl their the daughter of the president of a lead
money into it, while the patriotio Eads ! ing Jockey Club. His enemies say that
sternly refines to let them have a dollar's
worth of the stock, because ho wants tho
United States to have the honor and
glory of it. But General Sherman
(peaks a good word fur Mr. Eads. L'o
says, in bis opinion, the St. Louis Lri.'ge
is the finest in the world; that he made
it stronger tbau the strongest bridge in
existence, and spent hundred of thous
ands of dollars on it ont of his own pock
et Mr. Eads is credited with a lobby
in Washington, but no doubt the worthy
man fs maligned.
And now they say Mat Carpenter's old
house is haunted. It is certainly not bis
ghost that Is raising the alleged racket,
for if he returned at all It would be to
somo banquet where his old friends
gather round the festiye board, or if the
ghost wanted to appear in uoplcasing
guise it might preamhulate the Treasury,
"the Department of delay," as he used
to eall it, and scare some of the Auditors
into expediting claims against the Gov
ernment, That was Carpenter's pet
hobby, and had ho lived a few years
longer he wonld have accomplished
much to facilitate tho settlement with
those of the country's creditors who are
not at the same time bondholders.

Our Now York Letter.
Regular correspondence of Advooatc.
Naw Yosk, .Dec. 8, 1882.
A man who was at one time connected
iu business with the Field family, which
comprises Cyrus W. the great, Stephen
tho learned, David Dudley the shrewd
and accomplished, and Henry M., the
th;ologio and evangelistic, said that the.
only way to get along with them is to get
down on your knees and swear that out
Hide of that distinguished brotherhood
that there is no greatness, goodness or
enterprise worth having. When the
nineteenth century commenced God laid
the fouudntion of the Field family, nnd
to that ho devoted so much care that all
the rest of his work was doue in a slip
shod manner. Will, however that may
be, so much is certain that last Sunday
not many prayers were offered.up for the
family, David Dudley Field's new penal
code which went into effect on the first
instant, was enforced on Sunday for the
first time, in co far as it regulated the
observance of the Sabbath.
For tho first time in its history tho me
tropolis resembled a Puritan village. In
his wisdom and goodness, Mr. -Field
gathered together all the old laws which
made Sunday n day of horror, 'instead of
a day of rest and reoreation in days gone
by, All that was needed to make this
monument of Mr. Field's greatness and
love for his neighbor oomplete, would
have been to add the old New England
law which forbade a husband to kiss his
wife, or a lover to visit bis sweetheart on
Sunday. But the law Is bad enough as
it is.and the police, who ore always ready
to enforce a law which is an annoyance,
carried it out to the letter. By nine o'
clock every butcher-shop and grocery
store was closed. Thousands of families
bad to do without milk because a great
many dealers were ntterly unable to com
plete their rounds and serve their cus
tomers by that hour. To get shaved or
to take a bath, was a crime punishable
by a flue of not less than $1.00 and not
more than $10. To drive out except on
a message of necessity or charity, was
equally heinous in the eyes of Mr. Field.
To buy a newspaper from a stand or
store, or purchase a cigar made the seller
amenable to the law. Even the bootblacks
were "knocked out" of business. Clean
liness is next to godliness and tho latter
quality the Fields, who are monopolists
all the way through, and even monopo
lized Dean Stanley during his visit to this
country.evidently mean to keep for them
selves. How Biich a pack of antiquated
tyrannical nonsense con Id ever have pass
ed the legislature is past comprehension.
It only shows the manner in which laws
are often made. I might add that the
police look good eare that the sale of
liquor was not interfered with -to -any
greater extent than tbeycould possibly
help. Sunday was a bitterly cold dy.in
fact the first genuine winter's day we
have had, and in oonteqnencs fewer peo
ple were out of doors than usual. Yet,
during a two hours walkrl saw more
drunken men than I have seeu on Sun
day for a long time.
Among the people who wera put to
groat inconvenience by the Suudoy law,
was Mrs. Langtry aud her manager, Mr,
Abbey, Her season closed on Saturday
night, and as she waB to open in Boston
on Monday, a special train was engaged
which left on Sunday at noon. To avoid
the possibility of trouble Mr. Abbey on
Saturday atttrnoon sent to Police Cap
tain Williams, asking whether there
would be any objection to removing the
baggage of Mrs. Langtry and her com
pany on Sunday. The Captain repliod
that any expressman found at work on
Sunday would be arrested. Mr. Abbey,
who always manages to rise to the occa
sion, thereupon got twenty-five coaches
from the livery stable and got the trunks
removed that way. If I am correctly in
formed the haekmen were instructed to
say that they were going to a funeral,
should they be stopped by policemen.
Funerals being works of necessity and
charity, both are of course allowed.
Apropos of the close of Mrs. Langtry's
season. Tho gross receipts for tho four
weeks reached the snug amount of $81,
803, of which she receives 40 per cent, or
$21,721. Now $G,180 a week, is not bad
pay for even a star of the first magnitude,
not to speak of an actress like the Jersey
Lily. During her stay in the city she
has studiously avoided going Into society,
and she has also kept at- a distance the
horde of fashionable young and old men
who are ever anxious to flatter about a
woman who is beiug talked about. One
of society's golden calves has however
won the privilege i n some way or another,
of giving the lady a Bomber of dinners
at Deluioniuo's, and taking her through
Central Park and on the Road, on his
dng several times. Of course he is the
object of the most heartfelt envy of all
his beaten competitors. The gentleman
iu question is but twenty-six or seven
years of age, is still unmarried, and as he
has an income of over $100,000 per an
num, is a star of some consequence in
the firmament iu which ho moves.
Ho went on the turf towards the mid
dle of 18S1, and this year btcime quite
1 fatuous in the sporting world as the
the engagement was broken off by the
; lady, Lecause In a letter to her. inviting
j her to a pigeon shooting match he spelt
pigeon I'IIxjeon.
The most novel entertainment yet pro
vided is on the cards for early in Jnnu
ary. An amateur performance of the
Pirates of Penzauce is to be given at the
Academy of Musio for the purpose of es
tablishing a free bed at the Hahneman
Hospital for sick policemen. The affair
is under the patronage of distinguished
society ladies. A baud of genuine po
licemen in full uniform, and armed with
their night clubs, will slug the police
men's chorus from the Pirates: "The
Policeman's lot is not a happy one." It
is said that Superintendent Walling will
lead off. This ancient king of clubs
ought to do well in this role. Anybody
who has ever heard him sing the "Mar
seillaise" at Press Club receptions about
three o'clock in the morning, must have
instantly perceived that the operatlo
stage lost a great star when Mr. Walling
gavo it the cold shoulder to develop his
biceps in the discharge of bis duty as
'one of the finest."
The Press Club at Its annual election
last week had a novel issue thrust upon
it. It was whether poker playing which
had become the leading institution of
the concern, should tor should not be
made away with. The club decided in
favor of the candidates for Executive
Committee who believed in poker, and
thus the pot is safe for another year.
When one thinks of what the Press Club
was and might be, and what it is. one
cannot help regretting the fact that it is
going lo tho dogs. Two or three years
ago a crowd of officious nobodies man
aged to fight their way to office. Their
behavior was such that the best men left,
As it always is when things enter on the
downward course the descent is very fast,
and thns the; club is rushing on an ex
press train to the demnition bow-wows,
to use Mr. Mantalinl s paraphrase. But
for a comparatively small number of rep
resentative journalists, the Press Club is
at present largely composed of Boheml
ans, who find its rooms a convenient
place to lounge, read the papers, gossip
and criticise, ubout others and fleece the
young and innocent, by means of their
superior knowledgo of poker and other
games, the interest for which centres on
money stakes.
Reporters on the "Herald" are having
a hard time of it now. Bennett's parting
instruction to his managing editor, be
fore sailiug for Europe, were "Make
them witty and keep them short." Thus
those on the regular staff have been
making tho most painfully ridiculous ef
forts to bo witty, and the "space men'
will soon be obliged to devote their at
tention to poker at tho Press Club, for
nuder the "keep short" rule now in
force, some of them do not earn their car
faro to and from the office.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
WiSiiiNoioie, D.C., Dec. 4,
7b IhtStmatcandlloust of Representatives
0 ine umica mala: u is provided by tbe
constitution lhai tbe 1'resident shall irnm
time to tune give to tbe Congress in forma
tlon of the state of tho Union, and recom
mend to their consideration such measures
as be shall judge neressarv and expedient.
Iu reviewing the events of the year which
has elapsed since the commencement of your
sessions, l mil call your attention to tbo
gratifying condition of our foreign affairs.
Our intercourse with other powers has con
tinued lo be of tbe most friendly character.
Such slight differences as have arisou during
the year have been already settled or are
likely to reuch an early adjustment.
The arrest of citizens of the United Stairs
in Ireland under recent laws, which owe
their origin to the disturbed condition of
that country, has led to a somewhat extend
ed correspondence with the government of
ureae untain. A tnsositiou in respect our
rights has been practically manifested by
the release of the arrested parties.
The claim of this nation in recarrl to the
superyisiou and control ol any Inloroceanio
canal across the American Isthmus has con
tinued to he the subject of conference. It is
likely that tune will be more powerful thau
discussion in removing the divergence be
tween the two nations whose friendship is
s closely remented by the intimacy of their
relations and the community of their in
to csts.
Our Idne eslablishel friendliness with
Russia has remained unshaken. It has
prompted me to proffer the earnest councils
ei mis government that measures bo adopt
ed for suppressing the proscription which
the Hebrew race in that country has lately
suffered. It has not transpired that any
American citizen hss been subjected lb ar
rest or injury, but our courteous remons
trance has nevertheless been courteously re
ceived. There is reason to be'ieve that the
time is not far distant when Russia will be
able to secure toleration to all faiths within
ber borders.
The war between Peru and Bolivia on the
ont ida and Chili on the other, began more
thau three years ago. On the occupation by
Chili, in 1880, of all the littoral territory of
Ilolivia, negotiations for ticace were con
ducted under the direction of the United
States. The allies refused lo concede anv
territory, but Chili has since become master
of tbe whole coast of both countries and of
the capital of Peru. A year since, as you
have already been advised by tbe corres
pondence transmitted to you in January
last, this Government sent a special mission
to the belligerent Towers to express the
hope that Chili would he disposed to eeeept
money indemnity for the expenses of the
war, and to relinquish her demand for a
portion of tbo territory of her antagonist.
This recommendation, which Chili declined
to follow, this Goycrnment did not assume
to enforce, nor can it be enforced without
resort to measures which would bo in keep
ing neither with the temper of our people
nor with the spirit of our institutions. The
power of Peru no longer extends oyer the
whole territory, and in the eyent of our in
terference to dictate peace would need to In
supplemented by tho armies and navies of
ine united Biaies. Such Interference would
almost ineyitsbly lead to the establishment
of a protectorate; a result utterly at odds
with our past policy, injurious to our pres
ent interests, end full of embarrassments
for the future.
For effecting the termination of hostilities
upon terms at once just to tho victorious
nation and generous adversaries this Gov
ernment has spared no efforts save such as
might involve the complications which I
have indicated.
It is greatly to be deplored that Chili re
solved to exact such rigorous conditions of
peace, and is indisposed to submit to arbi
tration tho terms or an amicable settlement.
No peace is likely to be lasting that is not
sufficiently equitable and just to command
the approval of other nations.
About a year since iavitat'ona were ex
tended to the nations of this continent to
send representatives to a Teaee Congress to
assemble at Washington in November,18S2.
In view of the fact that no action was taken
by Congress in tbe premises, and that no
provision has been made lor necessary ex
jienses, I subsequently decided to postpone
tbe convocation, and in notified the several
Governments which had been invited to at
tend. The messngo also details the relations
with oilier rowers The inherences with
Spain as to the effect of a judgment and
certificate ol naturalization have not yet
bee adjusted. Tbe President also .'alls the
attention t Congress to the onerous fines
imposed upon vessels or the United States
in Spanish ports and the excessive fees de
manded by Spanish Consuls iu American
ports. The United States has been invited
to particulate in an International Exhibi
tion of domestic cattle, to bo held at Ham
burs in July, 1883. ltatificatinns of the
new extradition treaty between the United
Stales and Belgium have been duly ex
chanced. To the list of extradited crimes
has been added that of the assassination nr
attempted assassination ol tho Chief of the
Stale. The immigration n paupers ami
criminals from Switzerland has substanti
ally criu-il, and Decollations have been
opened with Switzerland for a settlement of
the question wueiuer us citizens can re
nounce their allegiance ami become citizens
of tho United States without the consent of
tha Swiss Government. The President again
recommends the return of the Jatwnesa in
demnity fund, and expresses the opinion
that the act restricting Chinese immigration
does not forbid transit across our country of
Chinese proceeding to or Irom another
country. Amendment of the' reciprocity
trealv with Hawaii is recommended, and
the President also recommends that pro
vision be made for dipinmalio intercourse
with Ssnto Domingo. Agreement has been
made with Mexico whereby the frontier
may be crossed by the armed forces of either
country in pursuit of hostile Indians, and
the President recommends that provision be
made for establishing the international
boundary. New Ministers from the Argen
tine Republic, Austria, Hungary, Ilrasil,
Chill, Chins, France, japan, Mexico, the.
Netherlands and Hussia have presented
their credentials. The missions ol Den
mark and Venezuela at the capital haye
been raiwd in grade. Switzerland bas
created a Plenipotentiary mission to lh
government, and an Embassy from Mada-'
gascaranu a Minister from main will short
ly arrive. Our diplomatio Intercourse has
been enlarged by the establishment ofre
latlons with the Kingdom of 8crvia.br the
creation of a mission to Slain and by the
restoration oi me mission to urtece. ine
Shah of Persia has expressed his gratifica
tion mat a entree a nuairs win suurtiv be
sent lo that country, where the rights of
our citizens nave been hitherto courteously
regarded by the representatives of Great
Urtlalu. 1 he 1 resident again recommends
legislation in harmony with other Powers
to prevent collisions at sea: and that a con
ference be held lo determine upon a com
mon prime meridian. He expresses approv
al of the project to reorganize the diplomatic
and consular service, leaving lees lo inure
to the benefit of the Treasury.
The President favors legislation with res
pect to international rules for the preven
tion of collisions at sea; favors the reorgan
ization of the consular and diplomatic serv
ice on a plan to be submitted to Congress
by th Secretary of State, and then takes
up tbe finances. lie copies the figures sub
mitted bv the Secretary of the Treaaurv in
his report, agrees With the Secretary that it
is not desirable to continue tho coinage of
ine surer aonar, aow so enormously In ex
cess of the dsmand. and continue! i " I
heartily approve the Secretary's recom
mendation oi immediate and extensive re
ductions in the annual revenues of the cov-
ernmctit. , His one of the tritest maxims
of political economy that all taxes are burd
ensome, ur late ine public revenues have
far exceeded Ibis limit, and unless checked
by appropriate legislation such excess will
continue irom year lo year. Her the Hscal
year ended June 30, 1881. the surnlus rare.
nue amounted to$IOO,000,000; fur the fiscal
year cmkd the 30th of June laBt the surnlus
was more than $145,000,000. The report of

not only answered the requirements of the
(Inking fund, but have a Horded alarge bal
ance applicable to other reductiona of the
public debt. But I renew the expression of
my conyicnon tnai sucn rapid extinguish
ment of the national indebtedness as is now
taking place is by no means a cause for con
gratulation. It is a cause rather for serious
apprehension. II it continues it must bo
speedily followed by one of the evil results
so clearly set lorth in the report of the Sec
retary. Either the surplus must lie Idle in
tho Treasury or the eovernment will be
farced to buy at market rates its bonds not
then redeemable, and which under such
circumstances cannot fail lo command an
enormous premium, or theswallea revenues
will be devoted to extravagant expenditure,
vtuivm, as eeneui-B ub3 laugnt, is ever ine
bane of an overflowing Treasury.
" Upon the showing of our financial con
dition at tbo closa of the last year I felt jus
tified in recommondlne to Concress the ab
olition of all internal revenue taxes, except
those uiran tobacco in its various forms and
upon distilled spirits and fcnnentaled li
quors and wine, except also the special tax
upon ine manuiaciuresol all liquors In such
articles. I venture now to bul'clbI that un
less it shall be ascertained that the probable
expenditures ot the government ler the en
suing year have been underestimated, all
internal taxes, save those which relato to
distilled spirits, can be prudently abrogated.
Such a course, if accompanied by a simpli
fication of the Vnachintry of collection,
iTnico would men be easv or accomu ish-
ment, might reasonably be expected lo re
suit in diminishing the cost ol suoh collec
tion by at least J2.500.000. and in tho re
tirement fiom office of from 1500 to 2000
persons. The system of excise duties bos
neyer commended itself to tbe favor of the
American pcople,and bas neyer been resort
ed to except tor supplying deficiencies in
tbe Treasury when, by reason of special ex
igencies, tbe duties bn imports have proved
inadequate for the needs of the government.
The sentiment of the country doubtless de
mands that the present excise tax shall be
abolished as soon as such a course can be
safely pursued. It seems, however, that for
various reasons so sweeping a measure as
the total abolition nf internal tuY-8 wnnhl
lor the present bo an uuwiae step. Two of
ineso reasons are deserving 01 rjieciai men-
uuu. rirou 11. is vy no means cieartnai
even if the exislllie system ol duties on ini
ports ij continued without modification
those doties'alono will vield sufficient reve-
nuo for all the needs nt the government. It
is csnmoicd mat lop.oou.UOO will be re
quired for pensions duniiL' the cominir vear
and I. may well he doubted if the maximum
annual demand for that object has yet been
reached. Unceitainly upon this nuestion
would alone justify, in my iudemcnt. the
retention for the present of that .portion of
too system, 01 internal revenue which is
least objectionable to the people. Second.
A total abolition of excise tax would almost
inevitably.nrove a serious, if not an insur
immutable, obstacle to thorough revision ol
tha tariff and to any considerable reduction
in import duties."
The President next discusses the tariff.
The present system, ho says, is in many re
spects unjust. It makes uueo.ua! distribu
tion by reason of its bunions and its bene
fit ti. r. . . i t ii.. : . i

by a majority of each House of Concress In
the passage of the act creating the Tariff
tnunissinn. 1 lie report or that commission
will be placed before you at the beginning
of this tesslon and will, I trust, a (lord you
suco iniormaiion as to the condition nnd
prosiwcts ot the various commercial, acri
cultural, manufacturing, mining and other
interests oi ine country and contain such
suggestions for statutory revision as will
practically aid your action upon this im
portant subject. The revenue from customs
lor the fiscal .year ending June 30, 1870,
amounted to $137,000,000. It has In the
three succeeding years reached, first. 186.-
000,000, then, $1118,000,000, and, finally,
$220,000,000. The income from this source
for the fiscal year which wil end on June
30, 1883, will doubtless be considerably in
excess of the sum last mentioned. If the
tax on domestic spirits is to be retained it is
plain, therefore, that large reductions from
the customs revenue are entirely feasible.
While recommending this reduction, I am
far from advising the abandonment of the
policy oi so discriminating in the adjust
ment of duties. But the present system
should be so revised as to equalize the pub
lio burden among all classes and occupa
tions and bring it into closer harmony with
tbe present need of industry. Without en
tering into minute details, which under
present circumstances is quite unnecessary,
I recommend an enlargement of the free
list so as to include within it the numerous
articles which yield inconsiderable revenue;
amplification of the complex and inconsis
tent schedule of duties upon certain manu
factures, particularly those of cotton, iron
and steel, and a substantial reduction of the
duties upon these articles, and upon sugar,
molasses, silk, wool and woolen goods. It a
general revision of the tariff shall be found
to be impracticable at this session, I express
the nope inai at leasisome ol the more con
spicuotis inequalities of the present law may
be corrected before your final adjournment
One of them is specially referred to by the
Secretary. In view of a recent decUlon of
the Supreme Court, the necessity of amend
ing the law by which the Dutch standard
of color is adopted as the test of the sac
charine strength of sugar is too obvious to
require comment.
The Prrsidebt calls attention to the weak
atata id our sea coast defenses, invites the at
tention of Congress to the propriety of mak
ing more odrquato provisions for arming
and equipping the militia and then lakes
up the river and harbor appropriations.
The greater portion of the sum approprlat
ed for the various items specified in that
act remains unexpended. The available
balance is $17,734,U44, aud it is apparent
that, so far as it concerns most ot the items
to which the act of August 2, 1882, relates,
there can bo no need of further appropria
tions until after the close ol the present ses
sion. If any action should seem to be neces
sary in respect to particular objects it would
be leasable to provide for thi.se objects by
appropriate legislation It is possible, lor
example, that a delay until the assemblage
of the next Coagress to make additional
provisions for the Mississippi river improve
ments might be attended with serious con
sequences. If such should appear to be the
rase a just bill relating to that subject would
command approval. The Presideat sug
gests that it might be well tu make indo-iK-ude
,t schemes of improvement the sub
jects of separate aud distinct legislation.
This would give each member of Congress
a chance to vote (or only such appropria
tions as he should deem meritorious. II the
number of works entitled to government
aid Is so great as to make this impractica
ble, the President suggests that the Execut
ive bo allowed la disapprove any item or
items of an appiapriation bill.
Tha President thinks that the cruising
vessels of the navy should be gradually re,
placed by iron and steel ships, the monitors
by modern armored vessels aod the arma
ment br high power rilled guns. Tbe de

American ship-building, of restoring the
United States flag in the ocean carrying
trade, should receive tho immediate atten
tion of Congress. Our disadvantage In
building ships is the greater cost of labor
and In sailing thcm.hlgher taxes and great
er interest on capusi, wnuo me ocean high
ways are already monopolized by our com
mercial competitors. These obstacles should
in some way be overcome
In discussing the report of the Postmaster
General the Piesidenl says that tbe inform
ation which il affords, that tha receipts for
the fiscal year havo exceeded the expendi
tures, must be gratifying to Congress and to
the people of the country. At the last ses
sion of Congress several bills wero Intro
duced in the House of Representatives for
the reduction of letter postage to the rate of
two cents per half ounce. I havo given
much study and reflection to this subject
and am thoroughly persuaded that such a re
duction would be for the best interests of the
public. Unless somo change it made in the
existing laws the profits of the postal serv
ice will in a very tew years swell tho reve
nues of the government many millions of
nouars. i ne time seems auspicious, there
fore, for some tcduction in the rales of post
age. Regarding the Star route frauds tbe
President remarks that "if any guilty per
sons shall finally escape punishment for
their offenses it will not be for lack of dili
gent and earnest efforts on the part oi tbe
prosecution."
The President renews his recommends
tlon for alloting land in Mverality to such
Indians as daslre it; says it Is a momentous
question for tho decision of Congress wheth
er Immediate and substantial aid should not
bo extended by tbe General Government for
supplementing the efforts of private bencfi
eenco and of Stateand Territorial legislation
in behalf of education, and congratulates
Congress that the Utah Commissioners are
sanguine that polygamy can be suppressed
without resort to radical measures.
Of civil service reform he bas this to say:
The communication which I made lo Con
grcssat itsfirstsession in December last con
tained a somewhat full statement of my
sentiments in relation lo the principles and
rules which ought to govern appointments
to publio service. Referring to the various
plaus which had, therefore, been tho sub
ject of dhcussiun in the National Legisla
ture, "plans which in the main were mod
eled upon the system which obtains m
Great Britain, but which lacked certain nf
mo prominent features whereby that system
is distinguished, I telt bound to intimate
my doubt whether they or any of them
would allord adequato remedy for the evils
which they aimed to correct. I declared
nevertheless, that if the proposed measures
should Prove acceptable to Concress. thev
would receive the unhesitating s'jprt of
me executive, oince tueso suggestions were
submitted for your consideration there has
been no legislation upon tho subject to
which they relate, hut there has meanwhile
been an increase in the public interest in
that subject, nnd tbe people of the country,
apparently without distinction of party,
havo in various ways and upon frequent
occasions given expression to their earnest
wish for prompt nnd definite action. In my
judgment, such action should no longer be
postponed.
I may add that my own sense of lis press
ing importance has been quickened by ob
servation of a practical phase of the matter,
to which attention has more than oncobcen
called by my own predecessor. The civil
list now comprises about 100,000 pensous,
far tho larger partnf whom must, under the
terms of the Constitution, be selected by the
President, either directly or through his
appointees. In the early years of the od
minsitration of the eovernment the person
al direction of appointments to the civil
service may not have been an irksome task
for the Executive; but, now that the bur
den has Increased fully a hundredfold, it
has become greater than ho ought to bear
and it necessarily diverts his time and at
tcntion from the proper discharge of other
duties no less tlrlicalo aud rcs)Knsiblo and
which in the very nature of things cannot
ho delegated to other hands.
In the judgment of not a few who have
given study and reflection to this matter the
nation has outgrown tho provisions which
the Constitution lias established tor tilling
the minor offices in tho publio service. But
whatever may he thought of the wisdom or
expediency of changing tho fundamental
law in this reiranl It is certain that much
relief may he afforded, not only to tbe
President and to the. bends oi the depart
ments, uut to senators anil iieprcsentatives
In Congress, bydlscrcet legislation; They
would be protected in a ereat measure bv
tho hill now pending beforethe Senate, or
uy any other winch should embody its mi
jiortant features, from the pressure or per
sonal importunity and from the labor of ex
amining conflicting claims and pretensions
of candidates.
While neither that bill nor any other
prominent scheme for improving the civil
service concerns the higher grade or officials
who are appointed by the President nnd
confirmed by tho Senate, I Icel bound to
correct a prevalent misapprehension as to
tho fiequency with which the present Exe
cutive has displaced the incumbent nf an
office and appointed another in his stend. It
has Men repeatedly alleged that ho bas in
this particular signally departed from the
course which has been pursued under re
conl administrations of the eovernment.
The facts are as follows: The whole number
ol Executive appointments during the four
years immediately prcceedlng Mr. uarfleld's
accession to the Presidency was 2,600. Of
this number 244, or nine percent., involved
the removal of previous incumbents. The
ratio ot remoyals to the whole number of
appointments was much the same during
each or those four years. In tlio first year,
with 700 appointments, there were 74 re
movals.or 0.3 per cent ; in tho second, with
97HjHliitments, there were 85 removals,
or 8.5 pcrceut.; in the third, with 840 a n
polntments, there were 48 rcmnyals.or 10
percent; in the fourth, with 429 appoint
ments, there were 37 removals, or 8.6 per
cent. In the four months ol President Gar
field's administration there were 300 ap
pointments and 89 removals, or 22.7 per
cent. Precisely the same number of re
movols (89) ha; taken place iu the fourteen
months which have eiuce elapsed, but they
constitute on 7.8 per cent.of the whole num
ber of appointments (11.8) within that per
iod and less than 2 6 per cent, ol the entire
list of officials (3,4)9), exclusive of tht
army and navy, which are filled by Presi
dential appointment.
I declare my approval of such legislation
as may be found necessary fnrsuplementing
the existing provisions of law in relation to
political assessments. In July last I au
thorized a publio announcement that em
plnyes of the government should regard
themselves as at liberty to eierciee their
pleasure in making or refusing to make po
litical contributions and that their action
in that regard would in no manner affect
their official status. In this announcement
I acted upon tbe view which I had al
ways maintained and still maintain, that a
publle officer should be as absolutely free a
anv other citizen to give or withhold a con.
tributinn for the political party of bis choice.
It has, however, been urged, and doubtlers
not without foundation Iu fact, that by so
licitation of sueriors and by otbecmodes
such contributions have at times been ob
tained from peisons whose only motive lor
giving nas been mo rear or what might be- 1
Tail liiem if they refused. It goes without 1
saying that such contributions are net vol-1
untary,and in my judgment their collection I
should be prohibited by law. A bill which 1
will effectually suppress them will receive
my cordial approval.
In conclusion the President refers to the
District ol Columbia, recommends provision
for ascertaining the Presidential vote and
for the Presidential succession and closes
with an acknowledgment ol the national
blessings atd the hope that, "under tbo In
spiration ol this great prosperity, our coun
cils may he harmonious and that the dic
tates of prudence, patriotism, justice and
economy may lead to the adoption or meas
ures in which the Congress and the Execu
tive may heartily unile."
THE TREASURY EEPOET.
Besides the statistics of finance and com
merce summed up In the President's mes
sage, Secretary Fulger, In his annual report,
communicates information and opinions on
yarious topics.
Ho estimates the total revenue for the
current fiscal vrar and Ihoyrar following at
$15,000,000 earn. Ihe expHtditutrs at j-205,.
000,000 each, and the surplus at f 120,000,
000 each.
lie recommends that the provision requir
log the ooinaca or a fixed amount of silver
dollars each mouth be repealed ,thst tho law
authorising tha issue of silver certificates a'
i he repealed, and Ibatlha certificates in
circulation be wilhdrawnas speedily as pro
sibla, Otherwise the accumulation of silver
will soon exceed the capacity orthe depart
ment to store it. Or the $1282980 thus
far coined under the art Keb. 18. 1S7B,
only about $34,100,000 wero In circulation
at lh beginning ot last month.
Referring to the ttatirtlas given by the
Comptroller of tbe Currency, tho Secretary
concurs in his recommendation of a repeal
of the tax upon national bank capital and
deposits. The capital Invested In national
banks is $402,341,691. The taxes assessed
uj on them by the United States and the
Slates for the year 1681 were $17,189,080,
being at the rate ol 3.7 per cent. The
amount assessed by the United States Is near
one-balf of the whole. A repeal of the Jaws
Eroviding for it would still leave those
anks liable to an assessment by the States
ol over eight millions of dollars per annum.
Touching the matter of accepting instead
of certilylng bank checks, he says that the
opinion of the Altornoy-Goneral is that to
write the word "accepted" across a check is
to the same effect as to write the word "good"
there; and that, though one may be called
a "certification" and the other an "accept
ance," they mean the tamo thing, and are
like acts; that when the drawer has not
with the drawee the funds with which th
oheck may at once be paid, the writing of
ono worn, jusi as mucu as ine writing ol the
other, is an attempt to accomplish a result
forbidden by law.
The interest-bearing funded debt of the
United Slates was on Nov. 11,418,050,200.
The total amount of bonds held by the na
tional banks.Stats banks, and savings banks
at the nearest corresponding date that could
be ascertained was $659,988,826. which
amount is not greatly less than one-half of
the whole Interest-bearing debt.
In view nt the large annual surplus rev
enue and tbe rapid extinguishment of the
public debt, the Secretary favors legislation
authorizing the department to apply its sur-
Jilus to buying in tbe long bonds even at a
ligh premium rather than to paying off the
short bonds. He suggested also that the fifty
million dollars held as a rund for the re
demption or national bank notes be treated
as public raoneys,and deposited in the banks
which are publio depositories. Only in
these ways he thinks, can an enormous ac
cumulation or money in the Treasury and
a great resulting embarrassment ol trade be
prevented.
From the various objects of taxation un
der the internal revenue laws the receipts
lor the fiscal year ended June 30, 18'i2,were
as follows: Spirits, $69,873,408; tobacco,
$47,301,988) fermented liquors, $16,153,
920; banks and bankers, $5,253,458; ad
hesive stamps (includine bank cheeks. $2.-
318,455.14; friction matches, $2,272,258;
patent medicines, Ac, $1,972,395.50), ft,-
569,108; penaltles.Ac., $109,830; collections
not otherwiso provided for, $81,559 ; total,
$140,523'273. The increase or the revenue
from spirits during the last fiscal year was
$2,718,433 20; from tobacco in Its various
forms of maiiufacturo,$4,536,407; Irom fer
mented liquors, $2,153,679 ; from taxos on
banks and bankers, $1,401,250; total in
crease of Internal revenue from all sources,
$11,293,361.42.
The whnlo amount of internal revenue
for the year ended June 30, 1882, besides
that from spirits, fermented llquurs. and to
bacco, is $13,073,936; the tax on circulation
and deposila of national banks for the same
period is $8,956,994 ; making $22,030,750 ;
and if this were deducted Irom our surplus
revenue it would still amount to $98.00n,imo.
All internal taxes, therefore, tlio Secretary
says, might be abolished, save only thoso on
spirits, tobacco ond fermented liquors. Iu
Ibis respect he does not go so far as the Pres
ident, who, with greater wisdom, recom
mends that internal taxation be confined to
distilled spirits only.
The Secretary earnestly recommends n
careful revision or the tarill', with a view lo
substantial reductions, particularly Uon
sugar, wool, iron, steel, silk goods, coarse
cottons, aud raw materials generally. The
duty on sugar, he says, should bo adjusted
according to some oilier standard than that
or color, which no longer indicates value
correctly.
The recommendation or last year is re
peatcd, that the Seen tnry be authorized to
refer to Hie Court ofClaims,ln his discretion,
any disputed' claims-against the Govern
ment involving important questions or law
or fact.
Amendments of the Immigration law are
suggested, to render its working more effic
ient and to remove ambiculties..
