TICE PEESIDENTS MESSAGE; We to-day lay, before our readers ' the last annual message of President GRANT. The ,document is brief but to the point. Time and space will not permit us to give it an extended review this week, but we shall do so at an early date. Those- who have expected the docurnent•to contain an outcroping of " Ciesariim " will find nothing therein in unison‘with their exPections,. It is a plain, straight- forward paper, filled, With no glitter - ing generalities, but just such an one as every citizen whose reaion , was not clouded by partisanship, had a right .to- anticipate. The messag+• will commend itself to every fair minded man, and undotibtedly it, will ,be carefully read by all. The second session of the Fortv- Fourth Congress convened on Mon ._ day.lagt: The Senate Was called:to. order r.t. 12 o'clock, noon. Shortl;. after the organizatiiin Mr. BLAIN" , of Maine, Messrs. CHAFFEE and TEI - Lut, _of Colorado, and Mr: PRICE, of West Virginia, took the oath and were admitted to seats. Committees were then appointed to notify. the President and House of Represent:, Alves that the. - J3enate was read - pOr business,. and at 12:20 a recess of three-quarters-of an hour was taken. The Senate re-assembled at 1 o'cloci: when Senator EDMUNDS offered 4 comprehensive resolution based upol allegations of intimidation in the States "of Georgia, Alabama,-Missh.- -sippi, South Carolina and Lou'isians, instructing the committee 'on privi- It ,ges and elections to inquire wheth • er, in any elections in these States, in the years 1875 or 18:6, the rights of any portion of the- citiiens to vote' were in anywise -denied or abridged INGALL9,.Stlblllitted a joint reso lution recommending that a conven tion be held in Columbus, Ohio, in May next, to revise and amend the - -Constitution of the .United States. Both of which were ordered printed, and the, Senate ,then adjourned until 12 o'clock Tuesday}: ' T Speaker KEER having died since the adjclurnment clf the previous ses sion, Ifr. ADAMS,' the clerk called the 'Rouse to 'order at noon. On the roll being called 249 members out of the 289 answered to their' names. • After some sparring over the placing of the • name of the Representative from Colorado on the roll, (which ; was refused 4)y a strict- party vote,) : the frouse proceeded to the election 'of a Speaker. SAMUEL J. RANDALL -was elected on the first ballot, re-, ceiving 161 votes, against 82 for J. 48.1 A. GARFIELD. On. taking the chair `Mr. RANDALL read a Very bitter par tisan speech which was freqn*ntly applauded by his'tiemocratie friends in the galleries. The first days' sit ,ting of what- gives promise by its opening to be a very, stormy , session 'vus closed at 7 . :30 p. m. iIIRNING OF THE BROOKLYN TLIEA TRE.—One of the most appalling a!- Equities occurred in Drooklyni . 'm .the evening of Dec. o, atthe burning of the Brooklyn Theatre. Seveny fire persons perished in the flaw, t f. including the Well known actor, . S. MunnocK. The fire originated from the gas setting fire to the wood work work, at , about l 2 30 T. it., when the flames spread with light ning Vapidity, and soon shut off all chance for escape. The . ! theatre wa totally consumed, entailing ti loss of $26,000. • _ THE reported assembling of large - bands, of - rifle clubs in the Capitol of • South Carolina, will frighten no one. These rebel bullies will find quite a . different man to deal with in Gen. ;GRANT than BUCHANAN was in the Presidential chair sixteen years ago, .hen they attempted the same game. Gen.

CoNGUESIS. - While - nui'Derntsiaratia friends are . talking ao kits' terously about !hails the election in the Southern States, each scenes as are described in the /mined address . are never mention ed, and the general reader of the average Democratic and Independent newspaper is left to suppose that the supporters of Truax, in the disputed. States-Sre as mild as a parcel of lambs. The : poor negrOes who are compelled to suffer their hellish cruelties, ).ra, seldom thought of, and then only 'as the,- ignorant dupes of $. 4 Carpet-baggers." The 44 address " put forth by colored . men in Louis iana, does not indicate such a de gree of ienorince as , is-attributed to the colored race, and the plain statement of : their grievances ought to send a blush of shame to the sympathizers-with and abettors of the "white leaguers" of the South. Here is theplain unvarnished story : NEW ORLk&ES, LA., Nov. 19, 1876. To thg People of the United Slates: We the colored people, are but a simple folk, plain and unlettered, but nevertheless we hope we shall be un derstood. We desire plainly and briy to relate -the actual political , coiklition of our race in Louisiana, and to ask the just people of the North to render us that moral aid and protection which our peculiar situation requires. The Government clothed us with.the various duties of American citizenship, among which wag the right to vote, which fact, has so incensed the'Southern Democrats against us that they murder our people and out ilage their families after such beastidly modes that we dare not-relate them even in, our un lettered manner. We are unable to cope with the white inn° without that backing and moral , aid which the Northern people have so studiously withheld from us since the war. The most of us have been slaves and ,1 11. - en like beasts all our younger d vs, and the terror inspired by the white slaYe driver from our infancy up has made us fear the white man and know and believe that we are not his equal in combat. The use of firearms was denied us • until after the war, and we feel-our- inferiority in their use when confronted with the heavily armed swaggerinDem perits. Thus when the issue is re duced to one of armed hostility, as it has been during this Presidential canvass in Lonistana, our numerical strrngth counts for naught against the regularly organized, armed and drilled White League Democrats of -the State. Their murders are more gentlemanly and humane than the other ontrageS (some of which must he nameless) which they have and are at this day inflicting upon our people. The whipping of colored Republicans \ who know how to read and write hasNbeen carried to such an cress that the recital of these enormities woubl scarce be believed. Of the signers to this ~appeal two have been whipped for refusing to vote the Democratic ticket at the Presidential election. One of these, stripped naked and whipped, is coy ere with welts and gashes from his head to - luVbeels, and escaped from - his fiendish tormentors through a Vnited States military escort. The other was taken from his cabin on the night before the Presidenti.aUeleetion, at -midnight, and stripped, and whip. ped by a dozen or more white men, each taking their turnlas they became tired sometimes three or four Whip ping at a time, until his finger nails and two fingers were whipped off. Tie was then left fainting and alone upon the ground. Next morning the same Democratic "bulldozers" march ed him to the polls. the victim so stiff and sore that every movement of the body in endeavoring to drag its slow length along caused the 'most excruciating agony, and they com pelled him to put in the ballot box a. Democratic Tilden ticket with the bleeding stumps of fingers their gen erous chivalry had yet left him. These outrages were not committed by insignificant Democrats, but their leader is a practicing physician in the parish, and his assisting bull-dozers are some of what they call the first families. Thousands of colored people hare been subjected to these outrages at every' election for attempting to exercise the right of freemen in the State of Louisiana. It seems as if the Government and the people of the North had turned a deif ear upon us and forgotten us. We do not ask bread or money. These we have the - muscle and industry to•produce, but we do' ask an ,asSurance from the 'people of the Xorth that some met hod shall, be provided for our se curity in the exercise of our rights as American freemen..

It irasiny fortune, or misfortune, to he called to the office of_ chief executive 'without any previous po liticaltasining. Prom the age of 171 had never even unteeased the excitement at tending a presidential campaign: but twice antecedent to my own candidacy. and at but one of them was eligible as a voter. Under such circumstances it is but reasonable to suppose that errors - Of! judgment melt have occurred; even had' , there not, differences of opinion between the Executive bound by oath to' the strict performance of his duties .ateriters and debaters must have arisen. It is not necessarily evidence of :blunders .on the ,part of the Executive because there are these differences of views. Mistakes have been made as all can see and I admit, but it seems to are oftener. the selectiOsit made of the assisktnts appointed to Main carrying out the various duties of admin istering the government; in nearly every case selected without a personal acquaint ance with the appointee, but upon rearm inendations of the representatives chosen directly by the people. It is impossible where so many trusts are to be allotted that the right - parties should be chosen, in every instant*. History shows that ad ministration from the time of Washing ton to the present; have not been free from these mistake& But I leave com parison to history, claiming only that I have acted in every instate from a con scientious desire to do what was right constitutionally, within thelaw, and for_ the.very best interests of the people. The failures have been errors of judsrment, not of intent. My civil eareer commenced at a most critical and difficult time, lets than four Years before the country had emerged from a conflict such as no other nation had ever survived. Nearly one half of the states had revolted against the goyerntnent and of those remaining faithful to the Union a large percentage of the population ernpathized with the rebellion and made an enemy in the rear almost. as dangerous as the more honora ble enemy in the front.. The latter com mitted errors of judgment, but they maintained them openly and 'courageously: . The former received the protection of the government they would see destroyed and reaped all the pecuniary advantsges to be gained out of the then existing state of affairs, many of them by. obtaining cog tracts and by swindling the government in the delivery of their goods. Immedi ately on the cessation of hostilities, the then noble President who had carried the nation safely through its perils; ;fell a martyr to his patriotism at the hands of an assassin. The intervening time to my first inauguration was filled up . with Writ it:slings between congress and the.new Executive as to the best mode of recon struction; or to speak plainly as to wheth er the control of the goverment should be thrown immediately into : the hands of these who so recently arid persistently tried to destroy it., or whether the victors should continue to have an equal voice with them in its control. Reconstruction as finally agreed upon means this and only I this, except that the late slave was en- franchised, giving an increase as was sup- posed to the Union loving and Union-sue-1 • porting voters. If free in the full sense pf the word. they would not disappoint is expectation. Hence at the beginning A)f my first administration the work of seconstruction was much embarrassed by the long delay. Virtually commenced, it as the work of the legislative branch of he government. My province was wholly. un approving their acts,which I did mo.;t eartily, urging the Legislature of states that had not yet .done so. to ratify the fifteenth Amsminient to the Constitution. The country was laboring under an enor moils' debt, contracted in the suppression of the mbellien. and taxation was so ces„ picssive as to discourage production. • Au"- ether danger, also, threatened us, that of a foreign war. The last difficulty had to be ed a iested s eral was adjusted -without a war, Si - Win a manner highly honorable to all parties coecenied. Taxes; have been reduced within the last seven years nearly three hundred mil lions of dollars, and the national debt hai been reduced in the same time over four hundred and thirty-fivernillioni of dollars by refunding the 7 per cent. bonded debt for bends bearing 5 and four and oat-half per cent. interest. Respectfully the annusl interest has been reduce d from over one hundred and thirty millions of dollars, in 1.869, to but little over one hundred mil lions of dollars in 1876. The balance of trade has been changed from over one hundred and thirty millions , against the United States in 1869 to more ,than one hundred and twenty millions of dollars. in our favor in 1876., It is confidently be lieved that the balance of trade in favor of the United States will be. increased: not diminished, and that the pledge of Con gress to . resume specie payments in 1879 willbe easily accomplished : even in the absence of much desired further legisla tion on the subject. A policy has been adopted tovilards the Indian tribes inhabi ting a large portion of the territory of the United States which has been humane, and has substantially ended the Indian hostilities in the whole land except in a portion of Nebraska and Dakota, Wyorns ing and 11.intanna territories, the Black Hills region and approaches thereto. Ilostilities there have grown out of the avarice of the white man, who has vio lated our treaty stipulations in his_ ti for gold. The question might be asked why the government has not enforced obedience to the terms of the treaty pro hibiting the .occupation of the Blacks Hills region by whites. The answer is simple. The first immigrants to the Black Hills were removed by troops but rumors of rich discoveries of gold took into that region increased numbers. Gold has actually been found in paying quantity and an effort ,to remove.tbe miners would only result in the disertion of. the bulk of the troops that might be sent there to remove them. All difficulty in this- mat ter has, however, been removed subject to the approval of Congress by a treaty ced ing the Black Hills and approaches to settlemen by citizens. The subject of Indian pidicy treatment is so fully set forth by the - Secretary of the Interior and the Comniissioner of Indian affairs and his mark, my views so full expressedexpressed there, that I refer to they deports and recd nmenda tions, as my own. The relations of the United States with foreign powers continue on a friendly footing. Questions have arisen from time to time in the foreign relations of the government, but the United States, have been happily free during the year from the complications and embarrassments which have surrounded some of the for- . - - sign powers. This diplomatic corres pondence submitted herewith contains information as to certain of the matters which have occupied , the government. The cordiality which attends our relations with the powers of the East has been plainly shown by the general participa tion of foreign nations in the exhibition which has just closed, and by the exec tims made by distant powers to show their interest in and friendly feelings to ward ' the United States in the. com- . - • memoration of the Centennial 4: k e the Nation. The government and people of the tufted States have not only fully appreciated this exhibition of kind') feeling, but it may be justly and fairly expected that no small benefits will result both, to ourselves and other nations from a better acquaintance.and a better appre ciation of our mutual advantage and mutual wants. Congress at its last session saw fit to reduce the amount usually appropriated for foreign intercourse by withholding appropriations for representatives of the Unzted States in certain foreign countries and for certain consular officers, and by reducing the amounts usually appropriat ed for certain other diplomatic posts, thus necessitating change in the grade of the representative. Foi these reasons imme diately„ropon the passage of the bill mak 74.01 1 .74.0'27 • . 79 ,418 ~741.017 ',74,736 mg appropriations for the diplomatic and consular service for the present fiscal year, instructions were issued to representatives of the United States at Bolivia, Ecuador, and Columbia, and to the consular officers for whom no appropriation bad been made, to close their respective legations and ! consulates and 'maw from the perform- MCA of their - duties, and in like manner steps were immediately taken to substi tute Chem% D'Affaires for Ministers res ident in Portugal; Denmark, Greece, Switzerbad and Parsigmy.

This - report also Cou p tins a statement of 'the general results 'of the. labors of the court to date thereof. It is a cause for congratulation that the method adopted for the satisfactioirof the classes of claimi submitted to the conch which are of long standing and justly entitled to early consideration, should hive proved successful and acceptable: - ' It is with satisfaction, that I RM elm bled to state that the work of the Joint Commission for determining the bonndai y line between the United States and British possessions from the horthtiest angle of the Lake of , the Woods t0..-the •Rocky Mountains, commenced in 1872, has *an completed. The final agreements of the Commissioner! with the maps haveltbeen duly sigued, and the work of the Commik sion is complete by the fixing of the boun dary upon the Pacific Coast by the pro tocol of ? March 10, 1873, pursuant to the award of the Emperor .of Germany by Article XXXIIT. of the Treaty of Wash ington. The termination of the work of this Commission adjusts and fixes the en tire 'boundary line. between the United States and the British possessions, except as t i the portion of territory ceded by Russia to the Lotted States under the treaty of 1867. The work entrusted to the .Commission; and the officers of the army attached to the Commission, has been well and satisfactorily performed. The drigina of the final agreement of the Commissioners, signed upon the 29th of May, 1870, and the - original list of astro nomical stations observed, the original official list of monuments marking tha international boundary line and the maps,. records, and ,general reports relating to the Cnminission, have been deposited in' the Department' of State. The official report of the- Commissioner on the part cif the United States, with the report of the Chief Astronomer of the United States, will be submitts4l to Congress within a shrot. time. • . , s I reserve for a separate communica tion to Congress a statement of the conditioa of the :ques ions which lately arose 'mita Great Britain respecting the surrender n fugitive criminals under the treaty of 18-0.. The Ottoman Government give notice, 1 under date Of - Febniary 15, 1874, of its i desire to terminate the treaty of 186:, I concerning commerce and navigation pur -1 sua..t to the _proviSions 'of the 22d article 1 thereof. Under this notice the treaty ! terminated upon the:ith day of June, 187(;. That government has invited negotiations towards the conclusion of a new treaty. By the' . act of Congress-of March 23(1 0 1874. the President was authorized, when he should receive satisfactory informatioa that the Ottoman Government, or that of Egypt, had organized new tribunals likely to secure to citizens of the United States the same impartial justice enjoyed under the exercise of judicial functions by diplo matic and consular o:limns, of the United States, to suspend the funetionsof the ant of June..22d, 1860; and to accept for citi zens of_the United States the jurisdiction of the new tribunals. Satisfactory infoi mation having beelf l ieceived of the organ ization of such newt tribunals in Egypt, I caused a proclaniation to be issued ..ei the 27th of March 'last, suspending the operation of the act of June '..2.1, 1860, is Egypt aimording to the provisions: of the act. A copy of the proclamation accom panies this message. The United Stab a has united with the other powers in the ~. of 01:Z211:Mt ion t hese . courts. It :s hors ti that , the jurisdictional questions whica haes arisen may br2 readily adjusted, and that this advance in judicial reform may be hindered by no objects. . The necessary legislation . to carry into efe-ct the convent i• li respecting commer cial reciprocity, coneleded aith the lir e-Asian I-lands in 1875, having be n kid s the proclamation to carry into effect the convention, as provided by' the act ap proved August 15 1870, was duly issu ed upon the 9th of S eptember last; a copy accompanies this message. The cennnotions which have been pm- I vafent in Mexico for some time past, and i which, unhappily, seem to be not yet I wholly quieted, have led- to complaints of citizens of the United States of injuries by persons in authority. It is hoped, however, that these will ultimately be ad justed to the satisfaction of both govern meets, Tim frontier of the United States in that quarter has not been exempt from acts of violence by citizens of on s republic on those of the other. The frequency of these is supposed to be increased, and their adjustment made niere difficult by the considerable changes in the course of the lower part of the Rio Grande river, l i which river is a part of the boundary I*-1 tween the two countries.. These changes '.have placed on either side of that river ;minions of land - which by existing con ! ventions belong to the jurisdiction of the government on the opposfte' side of the liver. The subject of adjustment of this cause of difficulty is under .corsideration between the two republics. The government of the United States of (7olumbia has paid the award in the case of the steamer Montije, seized by the authorities of that government some years since, and the amount has been transmit ted to the claimants. It is with satisfact on that I am able to announce that the joint commission fur the adjustment of claims between the Unhed States and 3lexico- under the con vention of 1868, the duration of %%Well has been several times extended, has bi 4 ought its labors to a close. Prom the report of the agent of the United States, which ac companies the papers transmitted here with, it will be seen that within the time limited by the commission" one thousand and seventeen claims on the part of citi zens of 'the United States against Mexico were referred to the commission. Of these claims 831 were dismissed or dis allowed, and in one hundred and thirty six cases awards were made in favor of the claimants against the Mexican Repub.: lic amounting in the aggregate to four. million one hundred and twenty-tive i thousand six hundred and twenty-two dollars and twenty cents. Within the same period 998 claims on the part of cit izens oft he Mexican Republic against the United States were referred to the com mission. Of these claims 831 were dis missed or disallowed, and iu 167 cases awards were made in favor of the claim ants against the United States, amount ing in'the aggregate to one hundred and fifty thousand, four hundred •lind ninety eight dollars and fifty-one cents. By the terms of the convention - the amount .f these awards is to be deducted from the amount awarded in 'favor of our citizens against :Mexico, and the balance only to be paid by alexia► to ; the :United States, leaving the United States tOmake provis ions for this proportion of the awards in favor of its own citizens. I invite your attention to the legislation which will be necessary to provide for the payment. In this connection I am pleased to be able to express the acknowledgment due to Sir Edward Thornton, the uinpirc of the commission, who has given to. the consideration of the*, large number of claims submitted t 3 }aim much time, un wearied patience, and that fairness ono intelligence which are well known to be• long.to the accomplirthed- representative of Great Britain. and which are likewise recognized by the , representative in this country of the republic of Mexico. Monthly payments f a small part of the amount due by the government cf Venezuela to citizens of the United States on account Of claims of the latter against that government, continue to be made with rearionable punctuality.' That gov ernment has proposed to Change the sys tem which it has pursued in this respezt by issuing bonds for part of the amount of the several claims. The proposition. however, could not, it is supposed, prop erly be accepted, at least without the con- Pent of holders of certificates •o[ till° in debtedness of Venezuela. These are so much dispersed that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain their dispo siticaz on the subject; - • In a former message 1 have called the' attention of Congress to , noes-ity legtibstion - adthregardto - fraudulent nat. -Ond h ai t it alls l,lll . o oo4!tenatiii •tittiosobagtow EMI -se . 5 . .. ,- .-ii - ,WI -7,- ,'" - - .- - jr.0 .. ..a,, , --#7.."- - :::: titian*" ere- , H , gatigetudiiitor , th e-tridte ' d- .. . and the finqielt -*askew wiiiidr: . such4adopted'.44thant to 'return - Ad that. eounWof-theieldrtk resider itieSbiaot or tuttoutlintionatsil the eafegaardit .'rhi . experience has ~ premed necessary for the Protection of - the honest naturalized 'cit'i , sea,' of paramount importance..

These provisions are 'needed in aid and for the protection of the honest citizen of foreign birth, and for the want.of tibial' he is made to suffer ' not unfrequently. • The United St ter'. las insisted upon the right of expatriation; and has obtained . after along struggle an admission of the principle contended for by - acquiescence therein on the Part.of many forel n pow ers, and by coticlusion of treaties on that subiect. It is,. however; but justice to the ghvernment to which each naturalized -citizens have, formerly owed allegiance, as well as to the United States, that certain 'filed and definite rules sho -1d be adopted governing such iasps and providing how expatriation may be accomplished. Vt bile emigrants in large numbers. become citi zens of the United States, . it is also true that persons both . native born and natu rallied, once eitizeng of the United States, either by formal acts or as the effect of a series of facts and circumstances, abandon their citizenship and cease to be entitled to the protection of the United Stattr , ,but continue on convenient occasions to as sert a claim to protection. In the absence of provisions on these questions and in this connection, I again invite your rated.. lion to the necessity of legislation con cerning the marriages of American, citi zens contracted abroad, and concerning the ateles of American women who may marry foreigners, and of children' born of American parents iit z a - foreign country. The delicate and complicated questions continua:l;r occurring with reference to naturalization, expatriation and the status of such perAons as I have , above referred to, induce me to earnestly direct your at, 7 tent ion again to these subjects. In like manner I repeatzny recemmendation,that some means he providcwl •for the hearing and determination of the just. a nd subsist ing claims of aliens upon the government of the United States, with a reasonable limitation of such as may hereafter arise.
