THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE, To the Senate and House of Representa tives I • In addressing my third annual message to the law-making branch of the Govern ment, it Is gratifying to be able . to state that during the past year success has gen erallyattended the eliort to execute all laws found upon the statute-books. The policy has been not to inquire into the wisdom of the laws already enacted, but to learn their spirit and intent, and to enforce them ac eordiugly. 'rho past year has, under a wise Provi dence, been one of general prosperity to the Nation. It has, however, been attend ed with more than usual chastisements In the loss of life and property by storm and lire. These disasters have served to call forth the best elements of human nature In our country, and to develop a friend ship for us on the part of foreign nations which goes far towards alleviating the dis , tresses occasioned by these calamities. The benevolent, who have so generously shared their Means with the victims of these mis fortunes, will reap their reward in the con • sclousness of having performed a noble act, and in receiving the grateful thanks of 'men, women and eltildren whose stiller ings they have relieved. The relations of the United States with tbreign powers continue to be friendly.— The year l,as been an eventful one, in wit nessing two great nations, speaking one language and havitg one lineage, settling by peaceful arbitration disputes of long standing, and liable at any time to Ming those nations • into Weedy and costly con-• filet. An example has thus been sot, which If successful in Its tinat issue, may be fol lowed by other elvilized nations, and final• ly he the IlleatiS of returning to productive industry millions of marl 110 W Maintained to settle the - disputes of nations by the bay omit and the broadside. I transmit herewith a Itopy id lire treaty alluded to which has loam concluded sine" the adjournment of thingrenti With her Bri tannic Majesty, and a copy of the protocals or the l'otiferences or the l'otionissionent by whom it Was negotiated.

It is clue desire LI, Continue to Maintain this disinterestedness and just policy with China as .well as Japan. The correspon -1 deuce transmitted herewith shows that there Is no disposition on the part of the Government 'at swerve from its established course. Prompted by a desire io put an end to the barbarous treatment of our ship wrecked sailors on the Corean coast, I in structed our Minister at Pekin 11l endeavor to conclude a convention with (urea for securing the saf'et'y arid humane treatment of such mariners. Admiral Rodgers was instructed to accompany him with a suflici ent force to protect him in case of need.— A small surveying party sent out, On reaching the coast, was treacherously at tacked at a disadvantage. Ample oppor• trinity was given for explanation and apol ogy ihr the insult. Neither came. A force was then landed. After an arduous 'march over •a rugged and difficult country, the forts from which the outrages were corn ' matted were reduced by a gallant assault, and were destroyed. Having thus punish ed the criminals, and having vindicated the honor of the (lug, the expedition re turned, hurling it impracticable, under the circumstances, to conclude the desired con vention. I respectfully refer to the cor respondence relating thereto,herewith sub • witted, and leave the subject for such ac tion As Congress may see tit to take. ' The republic of Mexico has not yet re pealed the very objectionable laws estab lishing what is known as the " Free Zone" on the frontier of the United States. It is hoped that this may yet be done, and also that more stringent measures may be taken bythat Rept:Mlle for restraining lawless per • sons on its frontiers. I hope that . Mexico, by its. own action, will soon relieve this Government of the difficulties experienced from those causes: Our relations with the various Republics of Central and South America continue with one exception to •he cordial and friendly: I recommend some ac• tion by Congress regarding the overdue installments under the award of the Vene zuelan Claims Commission of 1803. Ihe internal dissensions of this Government present no justification for • the absence of effort to meet their solemn treaty oblige- tions. The ratification of an extradition treaty with Nicaragua has boon exchanged. It lea subject fortongratulation, that the great Empire of Brazil has taken the initia tory step towards the abolition of slavery. Our relations with that Empire, always cordial, will naturally he made more so by this act. It lifnot too much to hope that the Government of Brazil may hereafter find it for its interest, as well as intrinsically right, to advance towards entire emancipation more rapidly than the present act contem plates'. The true prosperity and greatness of a nation is to be found in the elevation of Its laborers. It is a subject for regret, that the reforms in this direction, which were voluntarily promised by the states men of Spain, have not been carried out ill its West India colonies. The laws and reg ulations for the apparent abolition of sla very in Cuba and Porto Rico leave most of the laborers in bondage, with no hope of release until their lives become a burden to their employers. I desire to direct your attention to the fact that citizens of the [sited State s, nr persons claiming to be citiZifflS the IL :tilted States, are largo holders in foreign lands of this species ,if property forbidden by the fundamental law of their alleged country.

This is dine to the policy which has been adopted and is being extended as fast as our material will admit, of using smaller vessels as cruisers i en the several stations. By this means Ste have been enalilbed to occupy at once a larger cruising ground, to visit more frequently the ports whore the presence of our flag is desirable, and generally to discharge more efficiently the appropriate duties of tile navy iu tune of peace, without exceeding the number of men or the expenditures au thorized by law. During the past year the navy has, in addition to its regular serviee, supplifsl thin nom nod officers for the vessels of the Coast Survey, and has completed the sur veys authorized by Congress, of tine Isth mus of Darien and "Felluitinepee, and under like authority has sent out an expedition, completely furnished and equipped, to ex - I plore the unknown ocean of the North. 'rho suggestions of the report as to the ne cessity tor increasing and nnprOVlOg the material of the Navy,: and the plan re commended for reducing the jes•sei/cfq of the service to a peace standard, by the gradual abolition of certain grades of offi cers, the reduction of others, and the em ployment, of some in the service of the commerciltl marine, are well considered anti cieseoe the thoughtful attention of Congress .l . I also recommend that all pro motions in the Navy above the rank of captain be by selection instead of seniority. 'Phis course will secure in the higher grades greater efficiency and hold out an incen tive to young officers to improve them selves in the knowledge of their prole:4:4ton. The present costof maintaining the navy, its cost compared with that of the preced ing year, and the estimates for the ensuing year, are contained in the accompanying report of the Secretary of the Navy. The enlarged receipts of the Pust.odiee Department,as shown bythe accompanying report of the Postmaster-General, exhibits a gratifying increase in that branch of the publicservice. It is the index of the growth ofeducation and of the,prosperity of the peo ple—two elements highly. conducive to the vigor and stability of republics. With a vast territory like ours, much of it sparse ly populated, but all requiring the services of the mail, it is not at present to be expect ed that this Department can be made self sustaining; but a gradual approach to this end from year to year, is confidently relied on, and the day is not far distant when the Post-office Department of the Government will prove a much greater blessing to the whole people then It is now. The sug gestions of the Postmaster-General for im provements in the department presidhd over by him are earnestly recommended to your especial attention. Especially do I recommend favorable consideration of the plan for uniting the telegraphic system of the United States with the postal system, it is believed that by such a course the cost of telegraphing could be much reduced, and the service as well, if not better rendered. It would secure the further advantage of extending the telegraph through portions of the country where private enterprise will not construct It. Commerce, trade, and above all, the efforts to bring a people, widely separated, into a community of in terest, are always benefitted by a rapid iuter communication. Education, the grand work of republican institutions, is encouraged by increasing the facilities to gather, speedily,news from all parts of the o'3untry. The desire to reap the benefit of such improvements will stimulate educa tion. I refer you to the report of the Post master• General for full details of the ope rations of last year, and for comparative fitataments of results in former years. There has been imposed upon the Execu tive branch of the Government th6,execu [lon of the Act of Congress, approved April '2O, 1871, and commonly known as the Ku- Klux Laws in a portion of the State of South Carolina. The necessity of the course pur sued will be demonstrated by the report of the Committee to investigate Southern out rages. Yoder the provisions of the above act I issued a proclamation calling the at tentionof the people of the United States to the sanie, and declaring my reluctance to the exercise of any extraordinary powers thereby conferred upon me, except to case of imperative necessity, but making known my purpose to exercise such powers when ever it should become necessary to do Ho for the purpose of securing to all citizens of the United States the peaceful enjoyment of the rights guaranteed to them by UM Constitu tion and the laws. - _ After the pannage of the law information was received from thou hi time that coin blnationn of the character referred to in thlilir.wexisted,rinil were powerful In many parts of the Southern Staten, particularly iii certain counties In the Stale of South Carolina.

This is it sLlggo,- lolti only, and not a recommendation.. The pMicy pursued towards the Indians has resulted favorably, as 01111. be judged from the limited tune during which it has been in operation. 'through the exertions Of the various so cieties of Christians to whom has been en- Irllot,d the execution of the policy, and the Board el Com ni issimiers authorized by the law of April lOth, lsd7, many tribes of In- Minis have been induced . to settle upon reservations; le eultiyate the soil; to per form productive labor of various kinds, and in partially ,crept civilization. They are being eared fur in such a way, it IS l/11011, /IS to induce those still pursuing their old habits of life to embrace the only opportunity which is left them to avoid ex termination. I recommend liberal appro priations to earn' out the Indian peace Ind ley, not only because it is humane, Chris tian-like and reonomical, but because it is right. 1 recommend to your favorable con sideration, also, the policy of granting a Territorial l ;11V eminent to the Indians in the Indian 'Territory west of Arkansas and Missouri, and south of I:ansas. Doing so, every right guaranteed to the Indians by treaty should be secured. Such a 1 . 0111,0 might in time lie the means of collecting most of the Indians between the Missouri and the Pacific and south of the British possessions into one territory or one State. 'lire Secretary of the Interior has treated upon this Sllllleet at length, and I reeiinry fount to you this suggestion. I renew my recommendation that the Public lands be granted DAR heritage to our rhildren, to be disposed of only as required for:ocenpation, and to actual settlers. 'rhos, already granted have been in great part dis posed in such a way as to secure access to the balance by the hardy settler, who may wish CO avail 'himself of them ; liar caution should be exercised, ecru 111 attaining SO desirable an object. Educational interests may well If, sewed ' by the grant of the proceeds of the sale of public lauds to settlers. Ido not wish to be understood as recommending, in the least degree, a curtailment of what is tieing done by the General Government for the eneouragement of education. The report of the Secretary of the Irate rior, submitted with this, will give you all the information collected and prepared for publication in regard to the census talc en during the year IS7O. Also the operations of the Bureau of Education for the year, the Patent (Mice, the Pension (Mice, the Land ()trice, and the Indian I tureau. The report of the Coininissionfu . of Agri culture gives the operations of his I )(Tall- Illellt for the year. As agriculture is the ground work of our prosperity, too much importance °ROMt be accorded to the hr hors Millis Department. It is in the hauls Of an able head with able assistants, all zealoilsly devoted to introducing into the agricultural productions of the nation all such products adapted to any of the various elimates and soils of our vast territory, and to giving all useful information to the method of cultivating the plants, cereals and other products adapted to particular localities. clnietly, lint surely, the Agri tural Bureau is working a great national good, and, if liberally supported, the churn widely its influence will Inc extended and the less dependents shall we be upon the products of foreign countries. 'rho subject of compensation to the Heads of Bureaus and officials holding positions of responsibility and requiring ability and ellateeter to till properly is she to which per attention is invited. But few of the officials receive a compensation equal to the respectable support of a funnily, white their duties:ire such as to involve millions of interest in private life: their services 'demand compensation equal to the services rendered. A wise economy would dictate the same rule in the Government service. I have not given the estimates for the support of the government for the ensuing year, nor the comparative statement be tween the expenditures for the year just passed and the one just preceding, because all these figures are contained in the ac companying reports, or in those presented directly to Congress. These estimates have my approval. More than six years have elapsed sin CO the last hostile gun was tired between the armies then arrayed against each other, 0110 for the perpetuation, the other for the de struction of the Union. It may well be con sidered whether it is not now time that the disabilities imposed by the Fourteenth Amendment should be removed. That amendment does not exclude the ballot, but only imposes the disability to hold odices upon certain classes. When the purity of the ballot is secure, majorities are sure to elect officers reflecting the views of the majority. I do not see the advantage or propriety of excluding men from otliee, merely because they were, before the re bellion, of standing and character sufficient to be ected to positions,requiring them to take oaths to support the Constitution, and admitting to eligibility those entertaining precisely the same views, but of less stand ing in their communities. It may be said that the former violated in oath, while the latter did not have it in their power to doso. if they had taken this oath, it cannot be doubted they would have broken it as did the former class. If there are any great criminals, distinguished above all others for the part they took in opposition to the Government, they might, in the judgment of Congress, be excluded from such an am nesty. This subject is submitted for your careful consideration. The condition of the Southern States is, unhappily, not such as all true patriotic citizens would like to see. Social ostracism for opinion's sake, personal violence s r threats towards persons entertaining polit- I ical views opposed to those entertained by the majority of the old citizens, prevents immigration and the flow of much capital into the States lately in rebellion. It will be a happy condition of the country when the old citizens of these States will take an interest in public affairs, promulgate ideas honestly entertained, vote for men repre senting their views, and tolerate tile same freedom of expression and ballot in those entertaining different political conviction. Under the provisions of the act of Con gress approved February 21, 1871, a territor ial government was organized in the Dis trict of Columbia. Its results have thus far fully realized the expectations of its advo cates. Under the direction of the territor ial officers a system of improvement has been inaugurated, by means of which Washington is rapidly becoming a city worthy of the nation's capital. The citizens of the District having voluntarily taxed themselves to a large amount for the pur pose of contributing to the arrangement of the seat of Government. I recommend liberal appropriations on the part of Con gress in order thilt the Government may bear its great share of the expense of carry ing out aj udielous system of improvement. By the great tire in Chicago, the most important of the Government buildings of that city were consumed. Those burned had already became inadequate to the wants of the Government in that growing city, and looking to the near future, were totally inadequate. I recommend there fare that an appropriation he made imme diately to purchase the remainder of the square on which the burned buildings stood, provided it can be purchased at a fair valuation, or provided that the Legis lature of Illinois will 'swum a law author-, izing its condemnation fur iioverumeut purposes, and also an apprsspriatiou of as much money as • can properly he expended towards the erection of new buildings dur ing the fiscal year. The number or immigrants ignorant of cur laws, habit.s, ucfc., cowing into our country annually, has become no groat and the impositions practised upon them so numerous and flagrant, that 1 kUggest Con gresmiOnal suction for Illeir protectinti. It seems to use a fair subject or legislation by Congress. I cannot now state as fully as I desire the nature of the complaints tussle liyhmingrants'of the treatment they receive but will endeavor to do so during tile session of congress,partienhirly it' the sub joist should receive your attention.

A Civil Service Retorts, which can correct this abuse is notch desirad. to mercan tile pursuits the business man who gives a letter of recommendation to a friend, to , en able him to obtain credit from a stranger, is regarded as morally responsible for the integrity of his friend and his ability to meet hts obligations.

A salutary lesson has been taught the careless and the dishonest public servants its the great number or prosecu tions and convictions of the last two years. It is gratifying, to notice the favorable change which is taking place throughout the country in bringing, to punishment i those who have proved recreant to the I trusts con tided to them, and in elevating to public offices, none but those who possess the confidence attn., honest and the virtu ous, who, it will always be found comprise IllajOrily ut the c•uu u uuuity iu what they lice. In my message to Congross one year ago, I urgently recommended a tO - in the civil service of the cditut.ry. In conformity with Congress in the ninth section of an act making appropriations fur sundry civil expenses of the (Invert,- ment, and for other purposes approved March :;d, IS7I, gave the necessary author ity to. the Executive to inaugurate a civil service reform, and placed upon him the responsibility of doing so. Under the authority of said act I convened a board of gentlemen, eminently qualified for the work, to devise rules and regulations to effect the nealed reform. Their labors are not yet complete, but it is believed that they will succeed in devis ing a plan which eau be adopted, to the great relief of the Executive, the 'leads Departments and Members of Congress, and which will redound to the true inter est of the public service. At all (Went, the ox periruent shall have a fair trial. I have thus hastily-summed up the oper ations of the lieverutnent during the last year, and made such suggestions as oocur to me to be proper for your consideration. I submit them with a confidence that pair combined action will be wise, statesman like, and ill the best interests of the Whole country. C. t. RAsr. Mrursirm, Doc. 4, ISM.

THE YltleON ON Ft ItE.—Tuesday morning, between 1 and 2 o'clock, while the wind was blowing a gale and the mercury in the thermometer was almost down to zero, our citizens were awakened by the clanging and the banging of the bells, sounding au alarm of tire in the eastern section el the city. Those who were bold enough to brave the Wintry blast, soon discovered that the County Prison was on tire,—the flames rising high above the tower of that building, and We sparks being blown by thousands towards the Reservoir and Poor house. .._„....._. How the tire originated is toot known. At half-past 11 o'clock the watchman made his usual round and found everything safe. At 1 o'clock the spiral stair-way within the small tower, (immediately in rear of toe principal tower) was discovered to be in flames. This small tower is over 100 feet in height, about S feet in diameter inside,and is built of cut-atone,but the stair-way with in it was of wood. '1 his was entirely burn ed out, leaving the tower look lik a great smoke stack. There are several sm II win dows DJ It to give light to the sta r-way. One of these opens into the warping-room, situated in the second story of we btfilding and containing a considerable amount of combustible material; and another into a small room at the head of theprivate stair way. Both these rooms were in great danger of being burned, and, had not the tire ueen discovered in tilli,, the beeper and his family would have teen rut oil' from escape. The firemen were promptly on the ground and, notwithstanding the intense cot, did good service in preventing the spread of toe liantea. The '• American " took the plug near the southwest corner of the Prison lawn, and conducttal a line ut hose through the principal entrance of the Prison toffee base of the burning stair-way, and another line through one ut the large , holes above the principal entrance of toe Prison, and titmice to the burning lamer. The •• Friendship" attached a line of hose to the American ateather and led it through • the principal entrance of the Prison, and up the private stair-Ni ay, to the warping•room in the second storvot the onilding, trirough the ceding it which they rut a hole and carried Mier mist, through the lon and i n to I the principal lower.

As we said above the officers otthe prison • can give Ito clear account of the origin of the tire. It could not have been incendiary, uuless,ihey were the incendiaries, and that 1 is not to be thought of. Visitors have been known to throw away their segar-stutnps ( while ascending ur descending the spira stair-way, but tile only visitors who went up the tower yesterday were ladies, and they all left before 4 o'clock in the after- noon.

One-half the crops, and all the farming implements and live stuck, belonged to Benjamin li - reamer, who worked the farm on the shares. The de struction of the building and half the crops falls on Mr. Herr, the owher of the farm. His loss is over ;54,000, on which he has an insurance of $l,OO ou the barn and stiel) un the crops, in the Lancaster County Mutual. Mr. Kreamer's loss is over $l,OOO, on Whiat he has no insurance. He is a poor man, and it is said his neighbors will contribute liberally and make good a portion of his loss. How the lire originated is not positively known. A despatch sent to Mr. Herr, this morning, says that none of the family had been near the barn since last evening. Another report says that Mr. Kreamer, went to the stable, on business, but without a light, about 4 o'clock, at which time all was safe. „In half an hour afterwards the flames broke out. It is thought that a " tramp" may have been sleeping in the barn, and accidentally or intentionally set lire to it. .7 LIDO E LI VINGSTON.—John B.

Lani - tor has a large number of wealthy men, is surrounded by the richest agricultural re gion in the State, and is located nn the Pennsylvania Railroad, the great highway of travel between the East and West, and vet with all these advantages, is far buitind her neighboring sister of Reading, unly some thirty- three miles away. The trim tie is, that Lancaster's rich men to a great ex tent do not invest their money in manu factories, or indeed enterprise of ally sort., which tend to build up and make pro-lwr ous any large town or city. F.1,1310:`: NOTE.S.—The most fashionable furs fur the Winter for trimming are chin • chilla., silver fox and Russian sable. A cynieal old bachelor says that it is the privilege of hoops to surround the loveliest of all things, among which are girls awl whiskey. Large gold daggers, with hilt studded with diamonds and other precious stones, have come in fashion again for the our, and are used to fasten the heavy chatelaine braids, and are very ornamental. The definition of "wedding" iu the ionable vocabulary means a grand cri-is clothes: of "bride," a peg on which tinery ul all kinds is hung; "bride-groom," a si,iier. black object following the bride, of 111 , 4 , - count in particular, and yet without whom there would be no fuse and the fun could not go on. It is said that the "German" is going out of fashion, assort/any ladies refuse to dance it. There Is nothing like a square os' for making two people acquainted in a ball room. Instead of madly reeling around the room hot and breathless, giddy as to head, and limp as to the shirt-collar, they may enjoy a little 'quiet conversation or flirtation in the pausesof aquadrille, which is perfectly impossible in round dances.

It was extensively used in this vicinity in 177:i, and a - Richmond foun dry employed it in making shot and shell storing the Revolution. It was sent to lids ton, Philadelphia and New York, in 17so. g 'Mullah I lore and his brother, blaeksiniths from Connecticut, were the first to make use of anthracite coal in the Wyoming Pa.. Valley, in 170 s. Judge Jesso Fell, of Wil Ices barre, was the tlrst to apply it to household uses. Philip Ginter, a hooter in the Mauch 'hunk region, discovered the Lehigh vied in 171,1. Mines were opened in 1797, but it , was ten years later before the coal was sent to Philadelphia. The Schuylkill coal was ht l first sent to Philadelphia in ISI2. The above in a brief manner, gives the earliest „ discoveries of this much used aril article of fuel in the country.
