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.

`Mr. RANDALL read a Very bitter par

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. GRANT will make short work of
any overt nets_ of treason, and they

- 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..

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

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. • . ,

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; - •

Provisions regarding uniformity in ,the

provisions are 'needed in aid and for the

• 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

1 invite your special attention to the following I
recommendations of the secretary of Wart first,
that the entims under the act of July 4. 1e 4 , for
sahplies taken by the army during the war, bore
morett from the offices of rue Qeart , nnasteret of
the Comni4s3ry General and transferred to tile
Southern claims commission, Theae claims are
,d a precisely similar nature to those now before I
the Southern Claims Commission . and the mar
Department brit-eau. have not the clerical force_
for their exanduation or oho proper niachinery-'1
for iuvestigating the loyalty of the claimants;
Second, That Congress sanction the scheme of an
annuity fund for the benefit of the families of de- ,
eve:Jed officers, and that It also. provide for the
permanent orgauirafion of tio• signal screcc,
both of which were recommended in my last an
nual message; Third. That the manufacturing op- !
eration of the en:it:once department be coocen-
tr ted at three arsenals, and au armory, and that
the remelt:tee arsenals be sold and the preeee,la
applied to this object by the ordinance &par t•
went.
The appropriations for riveraud harbor impro
vements for the current year were $3,01.5,000.With
my approval the secretary of War:lire:And that of
amonnt S.: ,711,0,b: should be expended, and
no new work shonla be begun and none proaecet
ed which was not ofinatioual importance. se se.
en'ently the amount, was Increased to it'l,2l;,cau,
and the works are utor progressing Cu that taste.
The improvement of the south pars of the MA
siesippl river, under James It. lads and his assn.
dates. is tlrogre.esing favorably. At the present
tine there is a channel on feet and 3-10'in depth
between the jetties and the mouth of ;the pass,
and 191,: feet at the Lead of the pass. • Neither
channel, however, has the width required before
raynients can be made by the United States. .1
committee of engineer officers is now examining
these workt, and their report will be presented
at soon as received.
The report of the Secretary of the Nary shows
that branch of the service to be lu It eon:Mien us
effective as It is possible to keep it wth the fueling
and authority given the department it is of
coerce net possible to Lica! the costly and pro.
greealve establishment of the great European
powers with the old material of oar navy, to
which no increase has been authorized since the
war, except the eight small cruisers built tol sup
ply the puma of others which had gone to decay.
Yet the most has been dune that llnli'pOnnible
witlythe meanest command. and by, substantially
rebuilding some of our old ships with durable
material and completely repairing 'and refitting
our monitor fleet, the navy has been gradnaliy'so
brought up that though it dues not maintain its
relateve position among the progr valve navies of
the world, is now in a condition more powerftil
and effective than it has ever been in Static of
peace. •
' The complete repairs of onr five heavy ironclad.;
are only delayed on account of the inadequacy of
the appropriations made last year for the working
bureaus of the dedartment, which were actually
lees in ani onn t than those made before the war, no t•
withstanding the greatly enhanced price of labor
and materials. and the increase in the cost of the
naval service growing out of the universal use and
great expense of steam machinery.
The money necessary for these repairs should
be provided at once that they may be. rompletcd
without further unnecessary delay and expense.
When this 9s done, all the strength, that there is
in our navy will be developed, and useful to itn
tall opacity. and it will be powerful for purposes
of defanee. and also for offensive - action, 'sboi:dd
the necessity for that arise within: a reasonable
distance from our stores. • '
The fact that our navy is not more modern and
powerful than ft is, has • been. made a source of
complaint against the Secretary of the Navy. by
,persons who at talesman time criticize and com
plain otitis endeavors to bring the navy that we
have, to I ta best and moat tfltdczt condition; but
the good sena° of the (=Wry will understand
that it in rally due to his practical action that
we have at this - time "any efficient navy force at
