the officers of the state government on the next day I issued my proclamation commanding the insurgents to disperse within five days from the date thereof, and subsequently learned that on that day they had taken forcible poseasion of the state lonse. Stepa.were taken by me to support the existing and recognized state government, bat before the expire- of the five days the insarrectioeary move ment was practically abandoned and the officers of the state government, with some minor exceptions, resumed their powers and duties. Considering that the present state administration of Louisiana has been the only government in that state for nearly twn years; that it has been tacitly acknowledged and acquitss ed in as such by congress and mote than once expressly recognized by me,i regard ed it as my clear ditty, when !regally called upon for that purpose, to prevent its overthrow by an armed mob under pre tence of fraud and irregularity in the election of 1872, I have heretofore call ed time attention of congress to this sub jeer, stating that on account of the frauds and forgeries comtnited at said election, and because it appears that the returns hereof were never legally canvassed, it was impossible to tell thereby who were chosen, but from the best sources of in- formation at my command I save alvvays believes the present state officers received a majority of the legal votes actually cast at the election I repeat what I said in my special mes sage of July 23, 1873, that in the event of no action by congress, I must contin ue to recognize this government hereto fore recognized by me. I regret to say that with the preparations for the late election decided indications appeared in some localities in, southern, states of a determination, by acts of violence and intimidation, to deprive citizens of the -freedom of the ballot because of their political opinions. Bands of men, masked and armed, made their oppearance, white leagues and other societies were formed large quantities of arms and ammunition were imported and distributed to these organizations, military drills with menac ing demonstrations were held, and with all these murders enough were committed to spread terror among those whose po litical action was to be suppressed if pos sible by these intolerent and crimnal prGeeedings. In some places colored laborers were compelled to rote according to the wishes of their employers tinder threats of discharge if they acted other- wise, and there are too many instances in which, they were remorselessly executed by those who made them. .1 understand that the fifteenth amend meat to the constitution was made to prevent this and a like state of things, and the act of May 31,1870. with amend ments, was issued to enforce its provisions the object of both being to guarantee to all citizens the right to vote and to pro tect them in the tree enjoyment of that right enjoined by the constitution to take care that the laws bo faithfully executed, and convinced by undoubted evidence that a violation of said act bad been coin- witted, and that a wide spread and fla grant disregard of it was contemplated, the propers officer were instructed to prose cute the offenders, and troops were sta tioned at convenient points to aid these officers, if necessary, in the performance of their official duties. Complaints are made of this interference under the cir cumstances as above stated then they are without mewing, force or effect, and the whole scheme of colored enfranchisement is worse than mockery, and little better than a crime. Possibly congress may find it due to truth And justice to ascertain be means of a committee whether the al- leged wrongs to colored citizens for polit ical purposes are real,or the reports there of were manufactured for the occasion. The whole number of t:oope in the states of Louisiana, Gerirgta, Flonda, South Carolina, North Carolina, Ken• tuckv, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, •Maryland and Virginia at the times• of the election, were 4,082• This embraces the garrison of all the forts from tue Del aware to the Gulf of Mexico. Another trouble tins ansen in Arkan sas. Article thirteen of the constitution of that state, which was adopted m 1868 and upon the approval of which, by con gress, the state was restored to represen tation as one of the states of the Union provided in the effect that before any amendments proposed to the constitution shall become a part thereof, they shall be passed by two successiv assemblies, and ratified by a majority o the electors of the state voting there° . On the 4th of May, 1874, the governor convened an extra session of the general assembly of the state, which, on the 13th of the same month,passed au act providing for con vention to frame a new constitution pur - scant to the act, and at an election held on the 30th of Jnne.lB74, the convention was approved and delegates were chosen thereto, who assembled on the 14th of Mit July and formod a new constitution the schedule of which provided for the election of an entire new set of state of- Seers in a manner contrary to the then existing laws of the state. On the lath orOct„ 1874, this consti tution, as therein provided, was submitted to the people for their approval or rjeec tiomand according to the election returns was approved by a large majority of those qualified to vote thereon, and at the same election persons were chosen to fill all the state, county and township officers. The govertmr•lected in 1872 for the term of four years turned over his office to the governor chosen tinder the new constitution, whereupon the lieutenant governor, also elected in 1872 for a term of four yeari, claiming to act us governor and alledging that said proceedings by which the new constitution was made,and a new set of officers elected were uncon stitutional illegal and void, called upon me as provided in section 4, article 4 of the constitution, to protect the stew against domestic violence. As congress is now. investigating the political affairs of Arkansas, I have de clined to interfere. The whole subject of executive interference with affairs of the state is repugnant to public opinion, to the feeling of those who from their official capacity must be used in such interposi.- ion, and to him or those who- must recr. Unless most clearly on the side of law, such interference becomes a crime.— Witte the lawto support it, it is condemn ed without a hearing. I desire, therefore, that all necessity for executive direction in local affairs may become unnecessary and obsolete. I invite the attention not ,of 'congress but Of the people of the United States to the causes and effects of these unhappy ques tions. Is there not a disposition on one side to magnify virongs and outrages, and on the other side to belittle them, or justify them? If the public weld - be directed ' -to .s correct survey of what le right and to rebuking wrong, and aiding thn proper authorities in punishing it, a better state of feeling would be inculcated and the sooner we would have that peace which Would leave the states free indeed to re elate their own diniestio affairs. I bo- ,ere, on-the part of our citizens of the I'm:ahem states, the better of them, there is a disposition to law abiding and to do no violence, either to individuals or to the laws existing. But do they do right in ignoring the existence of violence and bloodshed in resistance to constituted authority ? I Sympathize with their prostrate condi tion, and would do all in my power to relieve them, acknowledging that in sonic instances they have had most trying goy (Tomtits to live uud-r, the oppressive ones in the way of taxation for nominal irriprovements,nett giving benefits equal to the hardships imposed. . But can they proclaim themselvn•s en tirely irresponsible for this condition ? They cannot Violence has not been ram pant in some localities, and has either been justified or aided by those who could have prevented it. The theory is even raised that there is to do no further interference on the purl of the general government to protect ciii• Zvlll3 within a state where the state an• thoritiea fail to give protectien. This is a great mistake. While I remain execu tive all the laws of congress and the pro. yisious of the constitution,, including the recent amendments added thereto, will be enforced with vigor, hut with re gret that they should have added one jot e t . tittle to executive duties or powers-- Let there be fairness in the discussion of southern-questions, the advocates of both or all political parties eying honest,tru th• full reports of occur, eines, condemning the wrong and upholding the right, and soon all will be well. Under existing conditions the neat° votes the Republican ticket because he knows that his friends are of that party. Many u good cii,zen.i votes the opposite not because he agrees with the great principles of scale which seperate parties, but because, generally. he is opposed to negro rule. This is a most delusive cry. Treat the negro as a citizen and a voter, as he is and must remaiu,and soon parties will be dtvided, not on the color line, but on principle. Then we shall have no complaint of sectional interference. The report of the attorney general con• tains valuable recommendations relative to the administration of justice in the courts of the United States, to which I in vite your attention. I respectfully sug gest to congress the propriety of increas ing the number of judicial districts in the United States toeleven—the present num ber being nine—and the creation of two additional judgeships. The territory to be traversed by the cir cuit judges is so great and the business of the court so steadily increasing that it is growing more and more impossible for them to keep up with the business re quiring their attention. Whether this would involve the necessity of adding two more justices of the supreme court to the present number I submit to the judgment of congress. The attention of congress is invited to the report of the secretary of the interi or and to the legislation asked for by him The domestic interests of the people are ' more immediately connected with this department of .government. Its duties hare been added to _from time to time niail they h*, th.g. without the most perfect system and or der it will be impossible for any secretary of the interior to keep trace of all official transactions having his sanction and done in his name, and for which he.is held personally responsible. The police adopted for the manage ment of Indian affairs, known as the peace policy, has been adhered to with most beneficial results. It is confideraly hoped that a few years will relieve our frontiers from danger of Indian depreda• I commend the recommeniation of the secretary for the extension of the home sieaddyvs of the Indians, and for some sort of territorial gmernment for the 'lndian territory. A great majority of the Indians occupying this territory are believed yet to be incapable of main taining their rights against the more civ ilized and enlightened white men. A territorial form of government given them, therefore, should protect them in their homes and property for a penod of at least twenty years, and before Ds final adoption, should be ratified by . a majority of those interested. The report of the secretary of the interior, herewith attach ed, giving much interesting statistical informatien which I abstain from giving an abstract of, but refer you to the re port itself. The act of congress providing the oath which pensioners must stibQcribe to before drawing their pension, cuts off from this bounty a few survivors of the war of 1812 residing in the southern states. I recom mend the restoration of this bounty to all such. The number of persons whose names would thus be restored to the list of pen• sioners is not large. They are old persons who could have taken no part In the rebellidn, and the service for which they were awarded pensions were in defence of the whole country. The report of the commissioner of ag riculture herewith transmitted, contains suggestions of much interest to the gen eral public, and refers to the approaching centennial and the part his department is ready to take in it. I Del that the nation at large is inte rested in having the exposition a success, and commend to congrets such action as will secure a greater interest in it. Al ready many foreign nations have signifi ed their intention to be represented at it, and itmay be expected that every civil ized nation will be represented. The rules adopted to improve the civil service of the government have teen ad hered to as closely as has been practica. hie with the opposition with which they met. The effect, I believe, has been ben eficial on the whole, and has tended to the elevation of the service, but it is im practicable to maintain them without ' direct and positive support of congress.— Generally the support which this reform receives is from those who give it their support to find fault when the rules are apparently departed from. Removals from cffice without perfer ring charges against parties removed, are frequently cited as departures from the rules adopted, and the retention of those against whom charges are made by irre sponsible persons and without good grounds, la also often condemned as a violation - of them. Mules these circumstances therefore, I tomouttOtt. that if congress adjourn without poeitiyelgtelatiOn on the "object of civil service reform, I will regard such action 113 a disapproval of the system and will abandon it, except so far as to require examination for certain appointers to de termine their fitness. Competattv eexum inations will be abandoned. The gentlemen who have given their service, without compensation, as mem bers of the board to. devise rales and regulations for the government of the civil service of the country, have shown much zeal and earnestness in their work and to them, as well as to myself, it will be a source of mortification if it is to be thrown away. But, I repeat, that it is impossible to carry this system to a suc cessful issue without general approval and assistance, and positive law to support it. I have stated that three elements of prosperity to the nation—capital, labor (skilled and unskilled) and products of the soil still remain with us. To direct the employment of these is a problem deserving the most serious attention of congress. It employment can he given to all lobo offering itself prosperity nee essarily follows. I nave expressed the opinion, and re peat it, that the first requisite to the accomphshment of this end is the sub. stitution of a sound currency in place of one of a fluctuating value. This secure there are many interests that might be fostered to the great profit of both labor and capital. flow to induce capital to employ labor is the question. The subject of cheap transportation has .iccopied the attention of congress- Mitch oew light on the question will without doubt be given by the commit• tee appointed by the last congress to invvettgate and report on this subject. A revival of ship building, and magic ulariv i:f iron steamship building, is of vast importance to our national prosper. 'Phe United States is now paying o%er $100,000,000 per annum for freights and passage on foreign ships to be cart led abroad and expended in the employment and support of other people beyond a fair percentage of what should go to tor eign vessets,est imating on the tonnage and travel of each respectively. It is to be regretted that this disparity in the carrying trade exists, and to cor re et it I would he willing to see a great t'.eparture from the usual course of gov ernment supporting wnat might usually be termed private enterprise. I would not suggest as a remedy direct su'oridy to American steamship lines, but I would suggest the direct offer of ample compensation for carrying the mails h-tweett Atlantic seaboard cities and the continent on American owned and Amer lean built steamers, and would extend this literally to vessels carrying the mails to Sunlit American states, and to Cen tral America and Mexico, and would pursue the same policy front our Pacific seaports to foreign seaports on the Pa cific. It might be demanded that vessels built for this service should come up to a standard fixed by legislation in tonnage, speed and all other qualities looking to the possibility of the government requir• Ong them at some time for war purposes. The right also of taking possession of them in such emergency should be guard ed. I otler these suggestions, believing them worthy of consideration in all seriousness, affecting all sections and all interests alike. It anything better can he done to direct the country into a course ofgene nrosnerity_ no ririctuilt tie more Wady than to second the plan. Forwarded herewith will he found the report of the commissioners appointed tinder an act of congress approved June 20. 1873, to wind up the affairs of the etstrict govenment. It will be seen from the report, that the net delft of the Dis trict of Columbia, less securities on hand and available is, bonded debt issned prior to July Ist, 1874, 88,883,964 43 ; 1865 bonds,' act of congress, June 20, 1874, 82.088.168.43 ; certificates of the board of audit, $4,770,558,35 ; total, $15,742,- 677, 71, less speciall improvement assess ments, chargeable to private property in excess of any demand against such as sessments, $1,614,054.37, less Chesapeake and Ohio canal bonds, $75,000, and Washington and Alexandria railroad bonds, $59.000, in the hands of the COM mis6•nere of the sinking fund, $1,748. 045.37, leaving actual debt, less said as sets, $13.994.613,24. In addition to this, there are claims preferred against tue governm, ut of the District, amounting to the estimated aggregate. reported by the board of audit, to $3,147,787.48, of which the greater part will probably be rejected. This sum can, with no more propriety, be included in the debt account of the District than can the thcusands of claims against the general government be included as a portion of the national debt, but the aggregate sum thus stated include some thing more than the funded debt charg able exclusively to the District of Colum• The act of congress of June 28, 1874, contemplating an appropriation between the United States government and the District of Columbia in respect to the payment of the principal and interest of the 3.65 bonds. Theretore, in computing with precision the bonded debt of the district tba aggregate sum as above stated as ri spects 3.65 bowls, new issued, the outstanding certificates of the board of audit and the unadjusted claims pending before the board, should be reduced to the extent of the amount to be appropri ated to the United States government in the manner indicated in the act of con gress of June 20, 1874. „ I especially invite your attention to the recconitnendation of the commissioners of the sinking fund relative to the am biguity of the act of June 20, 1874, in relation to the interest on the district bonds,anid to the consolidation of the in debtedness of the district. I feel much indebted to the gentlemen who consented to leave their private af fairs and come from a distance to attend to the business of this district, for the able and satisfactory manner it which it has been conducted. lam sure their ser vice will be equally appreciated by the entire country. It will be seen from the accompanying full report of the board of health that the sanitary condition of the ,district is very satisfactory. In my opinion the District of Columbia should be regarded as the ground of the nation capital, in which the entire people aro interested. I do not allude to this to urge generous appropriation to the district, but to draw the attention of congress, in framing a law for the government of the district to the magnificent scale on which the city was planted by the founders of the gov ernment, the manner in which for orna mental purposes, the reservations of streets and avenues were laid out, and the proportion of the property actually possessed by the general government. I think the proportion of the expenses of the government, and imporvements to be borne by the general government in the cities of Washington and Georgetown and the county, should be carefully and equitably defined. In accordance with section 3 of the act approved June 23, 1874, I appointed a board to make a survey of the mouth of the Mississippi river, with a vier( to determine the best medic - Al of obtaining and maintaining a depth of water softie. lent for commerce, etc.; and in accord ance with an act to provide tor the ap pointment of a commission of engineers to investigate and report a perminent place (or the reclamation of the alluvial basin of the Mississippi subject to inun dations, I appointed a commission of engineers.
