PATENT OFFICE.
Daring the yearending the 30th of Sep
tember last, the expenses of the Patent Of
fiC3 exceeded the receipts by one hundred
and seventy-one dollars, and including re
issues and designs, fourteen thottiand one
hundred and fifty-three patents were
issued.
TICE INDIANS
.
Treaties with, various Indian tribes have
been and will be submitted to
the Senate for its constitutional action. I
cordially sanction the stipulatiims which
provide for reserving lands for the various
tribes, where they may be encouraged to :
abandon their , nomadic habits, and engage
in agricultuial and industrial pursuits.
1.,
ta
This policy, i ugurated many years since,
h met wi signal success whenever it
h been pursued in good faith and with
b coming liberality by the United States.
he necessity for extending it! 'as far as
practicable in our relations with the abdrig
inal population is greater now than at anv
preceding period. Whilst we furnish sub
sistence and instruction to the Indians
and guarantee the undisturbed enjoyment
of their treaty rights, we should habitually
insist upon the faithful observance of their
agreement to, remain within their respec
tive reservations. This is the only mode
by which these collisions with other tribes
and with the whites can be avoided, and
the safety of our frontier settlements se
cured.
PACIFIO RAILROADS.
The companies constructing the railway
from Omaha to Sacramento have been most
energetically engaged in prosecuting the
work, and it is believed that the line will
be completed before the expiration of the
next fiscal year. The six per cent. bonds
Issued to these companies amounted on the•
fifth instant to U 4,337,000, and additional
workluid been performed to the extent of
153.200,000.
The Secretary of the Interior in August
last, invited my attention to the report of
a Director of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, who had been specially instruCt
ed to examine the location, construction
and equipment of their road, and submited
for the opinion of the Attorney General
certain questions in regard to the authori
ty of tho Executive, which arose upon this
report, and those which had from time to
time heen presented by the Commission
ers appointed to examine this and other
lines, and have recently submitted a state
ment of their investigations, of which the
report of the Secretary , of the Interior furn
ishes special information.
THE WAR -DEPARTMENT.
The report of the Secretary of War con
tains information of interest respecting the
several bureaus of the War Department.
and the operations of thearmy. The
strength of our military force on the 30th
of September last was 48,000 men, and it
is computed that this number will be de
creased to 43,000. ,It is the opinion of the
Secretary of War that within the next
year a considerable diminution of the in
fantry force may be made without detri
ment to the interest of the country, and in
view of the great expense attending the
military establishment and the absolute
necessity of retrenchment, wherever it can
;be applied, it is hoped that ,Congress will
sanction the which his report
recommends. While in. 1860, sixteen thou
sand three hundred men cost the nation
516,472,000, the sum of 565,682,000 is .esti
mated as necessary for the support of the
army during the fiscal year,
ending Juno
30th, 1870. The estimates of War debt, for
the last-two fiscal years were, for 1867 533,-
814,461, and for 1868, 525,205,669. The ac•
trial expenditures during the same periods
were, respectively, /85,224,415 and 5123,-
246,648.. The estiniate submittedin Decem-
ber last, for the fiscal year. ending June
30th, 1869, was $77,124,707. The expendi
tures for the first quarter ending the 30th
of September last were $27,219,117, and
the Secretary of the Treasury gives $66,-
0:10,000 as the amount which will probably
be required during the remaining three
quarters, if there should be no' reduction
of the army, making its aggregate cost for
the year considerably in excess of ninety
three millions. The difference between the
estimates and expenditures for the three
fiscal years which have been named is thus
shown to be $174.545.343 for this single
branch of public service. •
NAVY DEPARTMENT.
The report of the Secretary of the Navy
exhibits the operations of that department
and of the Navy during the year. A con
siderable reduction of the force has been
effected. There are forty-two vessels carry
ing fottr hundred and eleven guns in the
six squadrons which are established in dif
ferent parts of the world. Three of these
vessels are returning to the United States
and four are used as storeships, leaving the
actual' cruising force thirty-five vesiels,
carrying three hundred and - fifty-six guns.
The total number of vessels in the Navy is
two hundred and six, mounting seventeen
hundred and forty-three guns. Eighty
one vessels of every description are in use
armed with six hundred and ninety-six
guns. ,The number of enlisted men in the
service, including apprentices,, has been
ieduced to eight thousand five hundred.
An increase of navy yard facilities is re
commended as a measure which will, in
the event of war, be promotive of economy
and security. A more thorough and sys
tematic survey of the North Pacific Ocean,
is advised, in view of our recent acquisi
tion.s, our expanding commerce, and the
increasing intercourse between the Pacific
States and Asia.
The Naval Pension Fund, which consists
of a moiety of the avails of prizes captured
during the war, amounts to $14,000,000.,
Exception is taken to the act of 23d of July'
last, which reduces the interest on the
fund loaned to the Government by the Sec
retary, as trustee, to"thrce per cent. instead
of six per cent., which was originally stip
ulated when the investment was made. An
amendment to the Pension Laws iS sugges
ted to remedy omissions and defects in ex
isting enactments. The expenditures of
the department dtiring the last fiscal year
were $201,203,94, and the estimates for
the coming year amount to $20,003,314.
POSTOFFICE AFFAIRS.
The Postmaster General's report furn
ishes lifted and clear exhibit of the opera
tions and condition of the Postal Service.
The ordinary postal revenue for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1868, was *15,292,400,
and the total expenditures, embracing all
the service for which special appropriations
have made by Congress, amounted to
$22,736 - 02„ showing an excess of expendi
tures of 0,437,771. Deducting from the ex
,penditures the sum of *1,396,525, the
amount of appropriations for ocean, steam
ship and other special services, the excess
of expenditures was 0,511,466 By using
an unexpended Warm in the Treasury of
0,800,00, the actual skim for which _a
special appropriation is required to meet
the deficiency, is *7,412,66. The causes
which produced this large excess of expen
ditures over revenue were the restoration
of service in the late insurgent States, and
the putting into operation of the new ser
vice established by acts of Congress, which
amounted within the last two years and a
half to about forty-eight thousand seven
hundred miles, equal to more than one
third of the whole amount, of the service
'at the close of the war.
New postal conventions with Great
Britain, North Germany, Belgium the
Neitherlands, Switzerland, and Ital:y, re
spectively, have been carried into erect
nder their provisions. Important improve
ments have resulted in the reduced rates of
international: postage, and the enlarged
mail facilities with. 'Ehropean countries.
The cost of the United States trans-Atlantic
Ocean mail service, snips January Ist, 1868,
has been largely lessened under the oper
ation of these new conventions, a reduction
of over one-half having been effected under
the new arrangement for Ocean mail steam
ship service, which went into effect on that
date. The attention of Congress As invited
to the practical suggestions and recommen
dations made in his report by the Post
master .General.
FOIthIGN RELATIONS.
No Important question has occurred da
ring the last year in our accustomed cor
dial and friendly intercourse with Costa
Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, San Salvador,
France, Austria, Belgium, Switierland,
Portugal. The Netherlands, Denmark; Swe
den and Norway, Rome, Greece, Turkey,
Persia, Egypt, Liberia, Morocco, Tripoli,
Tunis, Muscat, Siam; Borneo and Mada
gascar.
Cordial relations have also been main
tained with the Argentine and - the Oriental
Republics. The expressed wish of Con
gress that our national good offices might
be tendered to those Republics, and also to
Brazil and Paraguay, for bringing to an
end the continuous war which has so long
been raging in the Valley of the La Plata,
has been assiduously complied with, and
fully acknowledged by all the beligerents:
That' important negotiation, however, has
thus far been without res\alt.
THE PARAGUAYAN. TROUBLE-MINISTER
• • wAsksturem. AV
Charles A. Washburn°, late U. S. Minis
ter to Paraguay, having resigned, and be- •
ing desirous to return to the United States,
the Rear Admiral commanding the South
Atlantis Squadron was early directed to
send a ship of war to Ascunsion, the capi
tal of Paraguay, to rece:ye Mr. Washburne
and, his family, and remove them from a
situation which was represented to be en
dangered by faction and foreign war. The
Brazilian commander of the allied invading
forces refused permission to the Wasp to
pass through the blockading forces, and
that vessel returned to its accustomed an
chorage, remonstrance having been made
against the refusal. It was promptly ()ter
ruled, and the Wasp therefore resumed her
errand, received Mr. Washburn() and fami
ly, and conveyed them to a safe and con
venient seaport. In the meantime an ex
cited controversy had. arisen 'between the'
President of Paraguay and the late United
States Minister, which it is understood
grew , out of his , proceedings in giv
ing asylum in the United states lega
tion to alleged enemies of that Republic.
The question of the right to give asylum
is one always difficult and often productive
of great embarrassment in States well or
ganized and established.. Foreign powers
refuse either to concede" ur exercise that
right except as to persons actually belong
ing to the Diplomatic service. On the oth
er hand all such powers insist upon exer
cising the right of asylum in States where
the law of nations is not fully acknowledg
ed, respected and obeyed. The President
of Paraguay is understood to have been op-
posed to Mr. Washburne's proceedings,
owing to the injurious and very improba
ble charge of personal complicity In insur
rection and treason. The correspondence,
however, has not reached the United States.
Mr. Washburne, in connection with this'
controversy, represents that two United
States' citizens, attached to the legation,
were arbitrarily seized at his side when
leaving the capital of Paraguay, committed
tz: prison and there subjected to torture for
the purpose of procuring confessions of
their own criminality, and testimony to
support the President's allegations against
the United States Minister.
Mr. McMahon, the newly appointed Min
later to Paraguay, having reached the La
Plata, has been instructed to proceed with
out delay to Asunscion, there to investigate
the whole subject. The Rear Admiral,
commanding tho United States South-At
lantic Squadron, has been directed to at
tend the new Minister with a proper naval
force, and to sustain such just demands as
the occasion may require, and to vindicate
the rights of the United States citizens re
ferred to, and of any others who may be
exposed to danger in the theatte of war.
With these exceptions, friendly; relations
have been maintained between the United
States and Brazil and Paraguay.
THE WAR ON THE SOUTH PACIFIC COAST'
Our relations during the past year with
Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Chili have be
come especially friendly and cordial.
Spain and the republics of Peru, BOlivia
and Ecuador have expressed their willing
ness to accept the mediation of the United
States for terminating the war on the South
Pacific Coast. -Chili has not finally declar
ed upon the question. In the meantime
the conflict has practically exhausted itself,
since no belligerent or hostile movement
lies been made by either party during the
last two years, and there are no indications
of a present purpose to resume hostilities
on either aide. Great Britain and France
have cordially seconded our propoiitions of
mediation, and Ido not forego the hope
that it may be soon accepted by all the bel
ligerents, and lead to a secure establish
ment of peace and friendly relations be
tween the Spanish-American Republics of
the Pacific and Spain—a result which would
be attended with common benefits to the
belligerents, and much advantage to the
commercial nations.
THE BOLIVIAN REPUBLIC.
' I communicate for the consideration .of
Congress a correspondence which shows
that the Bolivian Republic has established
the extremely liberal principle or receiving
into citizenship any citizen of the United
States, or of any other of the American Re
publics,.upon the simple condition of vol
untary registry.
•
THE SOUTH AMERICAN EARTHQUAKES.
The correspondence herewith submitted
Will be found painfully replete with ac
counts of the ruin and wretchedness pro.
duced by recent earthquakes of unparal
leled severity in the Republics of Peru,
Ecuador and Bolivia. The diplomatic
agency and naval officers of tue United
States who were present in those countries
at the time of these disasters furnished all
the relief in their power to the sufferers,
and wore promptly rewarded with grateful
and touching acknowledgments by the Con
gress of Peru. An appeal to the charity of
our fellow•citizens has been answered by
much liberality. -
INUNDATIONS IN SWITZERLAND.
In this connection .I stiinnit, an appeal
which has been made by the Swiss Repub
lic, whose government and institutions are
kindred to our own, in behalf of its inhabi
tants, who are suffering extreme destitu
tion, precluded by recent inundations.
OUR MEXICAN RELATIONS.
Oar relations with Mexico during the
year have been marked. , by an increasing
growth of mutual confidence; The Mexi
can Government has not yet acted upon the
treaties celebrated here last summer, for
establishing the rights. of naturalized citi.
zens upon a liberal and just basis for regu
lating Consular powers, and ior the adjust
mentof mutual claims.
DISTURBANCES IN .COLOMBIA
All commercial nations as well as all
friends of Republican institutions have
occasion to. regret the frequent local dis
turbances which occur. In some of the
constituent States of ColOnibia. Noth
ing lhas occurred, however, to effect the
harmony and cordial friendship which
have for several years existed between that
youthful and vigorous Republic and our
own. -
ISTHMUS slur caxet.
Negotiations are pending with a view to
the survey and construction of a ship canal
across the Isthmus of Darien, under the
auspices of the United States. I hope to be
able to submit the result of that negotiation
to the Senate during its preseut session.
The very liberal treaty which was entered
into last year by the United States and
Nicarauga, has been ratified by the latter
Republic. -
Costa Rico, with the earnestness of a sin
cerely friendly neighber, solicits reciro
ity of trade, which I commend to the con
sideration of Congress. ' -
The convention created by treaty be
tween the United States and Venezuela, in.
July, 1865, for the mutual adjustment of
claims, has been held, and its decisions
have been received at the Department of

meat of the United States of Venezuela has
been subverted, a Provisional Government
having been instituted,• under circum
stances which promise durability. It has
been formally recognized..
Lhave been reluctantly obliged to ask
eiplanation and satisfaction for national
injuries committed by the President of
Hayti. The political and social condition
of the republics of 'Hayti. and St. Domingo
are very unsatisfactory and painful. The
abolition of slavery, which has been carried
into effect throughout the island of St. Do
mingo and the entire - West Indies, except
the Spanish islands of Cuba and Porto Rico,
has been followed by profound Popular
conviction of the rightfulness of Republi
can institutions and an intense desire to se
cure them. The attempt, however, to es
tablish Republics there encounters many
obstacles, most of which may be supposed
to result from long indulged habits of colo
nial supineness and dependence upon Eu
ropean powers.
RE.PUBLICAN PRINCIPLES IN OUR HEMIS•
While the United States have on all oc
.CaSiOIIEI professed a decided unwillingness
that any part of thin continent or of its ad
jacent islands shall be made a theatre for a
new establishment of monarchical power,
too little has been done by us on the other
hand to attach the communities by which
We are surrounded to our own country, or
to lend even'a moral support to the efforts
they are - So resolutely and so constantly
making to BecureNrepublican institutions
for themselves. Iris indeed a question of
grave consideration whether our recent and
present example is not calculated to check
the growth and expansion of free princi
ples, and make those e lmmtinities distrust
if not dread a ClovernWeat which at will
consigns to military dominition States that
are integral parts of our Federal Union,
and while ready to resist any attempts by
other nations to extend to this hemisphere
the monarchical institutions of Europe,
assumes to establish over a large portion
of its people a rule more absolute, harsh
and tyrannical than any known to civilized
powers. The acquisition of Alaska was
made with the view of extending the na
tional jurisdiction anti republican princi
ples in the American hemisphere.
CONVENTION WITH DENMARK
Believing that a further step could be
taken in the same direction, I last year en
tered into a treaty with the' King of Den
mark for the purchase of the Islands of St.
Thomas and St. John, on the best terms
then attainable, and with the expresi con
sent of the people of those Islands. This
treaty still remains under consideration in
the Senate. -A new convention has been
entered - into with Denmark, enlarging the
time fixed for the final ratification of the
original treaty. Comprehensive National
policy would seem to sanction the acquisi
tion and incorporation into our Federal
Unioirof the several adjacent continental
and insular communities, as speedily as it
'can be done peacefully, lawfully and with
out any violation of national justice, faith
or honor. Foreign possession or control of
those communities has hitherto rendered
the growth and impaired yhe influence of
the United States. Chronic revolution and
anarchy ther&would be equally injuri ,us.
Each one of thetn.when firmly established
as an independent-Republic, or when in
corporated into the l United States, would be
a new source of strength,and power.
UNDAMPUL EXPEDITIO.NB
. .
Conforming ; my administration to these
principles, I have on no occasion lent, sup
port or toleration to unlawful expedi
tions set on foot upon the plea or republi-
I t
can propagandism or of national extension
or aggrandizement. The n cessity, how
ever, of repressing such nn awful move
ments clearly indicates the duty which
rests upon us of adapting o r legislative
action to the new circurnstan es of the de
cline of European monarchi al power and
influence and the increase of merlead re
pnblicatgedeas, interests and ympathies.
, It canlrot be long before it will become
necessary for this Government to lend some
effective aid to the solution of the political
L s
and social problems which ar continually
kept before the world by the wo republics
of the Island of St. Doming and which
are now discibsing thenisel more dis
tinctly -than heretofore in the Island of
Cuba.
EXTENDING OUR POSSESSIONS.
The subject is commended to your con
sideration with all the more earnestness,
because I am srtisfled that :the time has
arrived when even so direct a proceeding
as a proposition for an annexation of, the
two republics of, the iaiand of St. Domingo
would not only receive the consent of the
people interested, but would also give sat
isfaction to all other foreign nations. lam
aware that upon the question of further
extending our possessions it is apprehe;nded
by some that our political system cannot
successfully be applied to an area more ex
tended than our continent, but the convic
tion is rapidly gaining ground in the Amer
ican mind that, , whh the increased facilities
for' tnter•comtuunication between all por
tions of the earth, the principles of free
government as embodied in our Constitu
tion, if faithfully maintained and carried
out, would prove of sufficient strength and
breadth to comprehend within its sphere
and Influence the civilized nations of the
world.
SANDWICH ISLANDS.
The attention of the Senate, and. of Con
gress, is again respectfully invited to the
treaty for the establishment of commercial
reciprocity with the Hawaiian Kingdom,
entered into last year, and already ratified
by that Government. The attitude of the
United States toward these islands is not
very different from that in which they
stand toward the West Indies. It is known
and felt by the Hawaiian Government and
people that their government and institu
tions are feeble and precarious; that the
United States, being so near as a:neighbor,
would be Unwilling to see the islands pass
under foreign control. Their property is
continually disturbed by expectations and
alarms of unfriendly political proceedings,
as well from the United States as from for
eign
_powers. A reciprocity treaty, while it
could not materially diminish the revenues
of the United States, would be a guarantee
of the good will and forbearance of all na
tions until the people of the Islands shall,
of themselves, at no distant day, volunta
rily apply, for admission into the Union.
The Emperor of Russia has acceded to the
treaty negotiated here in January last for
the security of trade marks in the interest
of manufacture and commerce. I have in
vited his attention to the irnportance of
establishing now, while it seems easy and ,
practicable', a fair and equal regulation of
the vast fisheries belonging to the. two na.
tions in the waters of the North Pacific
li celin.
CONSULAR POWERS.
• The two treaties between the United
Cates and Italy, for the regulation of Con
s lar, Powers, and the extradition of critni
-1
als, negotiated and ratified here during
t e last session of the -thirty-ninth Con
(Ns, has been adcepted' and confirmed by
the Italian _Government. A liberal Comm,
tar Convention, whichlhas been negotiated
with Berlin, will lie submitted to - the Sen
ate.
, NATURALIZATION TREATIES. ,
The very important treaties which were
negotiated between the United States and
North Germany and Bavaria, for the regu
lation of the rights'Of naturalized citizens,
have been duly ratified and exchanged,
and similar treaties have been entered into
with the Kingdom of Belgium and Wur
temburg, and with the Grand Duchies of
Baden and Hesse Darmstadt. I hope soon.
to be able to submit equally satisfactory
conventions of the same character now in
the course Of negotiation with the'respeo
tive' governments of Stain, Italy and the
Ottoman Enipire.

tional Comthission, to which they were ad b
mitted for adjudication by the treaty be
tween the two 'governments of July Ist,
1863, and, it is expected, will be concluded
at an early day.
COLONIAL TRADE AND FISFIERIES.
No practicid relation concerning colonial
trade and tlie fisheries can be accomplished
by a treaty between the United States and
Great Britain until Congress shall have ex
pressed their judgment concerning the
principles involved. Three other instances,
however, -between the United States and
Great Britain remain open for adjuStment.
These are the mutual rights of naturalized
citizens, the boundary Question, involving
title to the island .of San Juan on the
Pacific coast, and the , mutual c aimsarising
since the year 1853 of the citizer.s and sub
jects of the two countries for injuries and
depredations committed under the authori
ty of their respective Governments. Nego
tiations upon these subjects are pending,
and Ism not without hope of being able to
lay before the Senate for its consideration
during the present session protocols calcu
lated to bring to an end these justly excif,
ing and long existing controversies.
CHINA. ,
We are not advised of the actin of the
Chinese Government upon the liberal and
auspicious treaty which was recently cele
brated with its plenipotentiaries at this
capital. -
J'APAN CIVIL WAS.
Japan remains a theatre of civil war.
marked by religions incidents and political
seveThies peculiar to that long isolated
empire. The Executive has hitherto main
tained strict neutrality among the belliger
ents, and acknowledges with pleasure that
it has been frankly and fully sustained in
that course by the enlightened colicurrence
and co-operation of the other treaty powers,
namely: Great Itritain, France, the
Netherlands, North Germany and Italy.
NEW SPANISH' GOVERNMENT
Spain having recently undergone a revo
lution, marked by extraordinary unani
mity and preservation of order, the Pro
visional Government established at Madrid
has been recognized, and the friendly In
tercourse which has so long happily ex
isted between the two countries remains
unchanged.
I STI 'Tie . I. D.• N • •.
I renew the recommendation contained
in my communication to Congress, dated
the 18th of July last, a copy of which ac
companies this message, that the judg
ment of the people should be taken on the
propriety of so amending the Federal Con
stitution that it sha rovide,
First—For an el on of President and
Vice President by a- direct vote of the peo
ple, instead of through the agency of elec
tors, and making them .eligible for re-elec
tion to a second term.
Second—For a distinct designation of the
person who shall discharge the duties of
President in the event of a vacancy in that
office by deatb, resignation or removal of
both the President and Vice President.
Third—For the election of Senators of the
United States directly by the people of the
several States instead of by the Legisla
tures.
Fourth—f or the limitation ton period of
years of the terms of Federal Judges. /
Profoundly impressed with the propriety
of making these important modifications in
the Constitution, I respectfully submit
them for the early and mature considera
tion of Congress. We should, as lar as
possible, remove all pretext for violations
of the organic law by remedying such im
perfections as time and experience may,ile
volope,ever remembering that the Consti
tution which at any time exists, until
changed by an explicit arid authentic act of
the whole people, is severally binding.upon
CONCLUSION
In the performance of a duty infiposed
upon me by the Constitution, I have thus
communicated to Congress information of
the state of the Union, and recommended
for its consideration such measures as have
seemed to me necessary and expedient. If
carried into effect they will hasten- the ac
complishment of the great and beneticient
purposes for which the Executive was or
dained, and which 4 comprehensively
states were to form a more perfect union,
establish justice, insure domestic ranquil
ity, provide for the common defence, pro
mote the general welfare, and
.secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and - our
posterity. In Congress are vested all leg
islative powers and upon them devolves
the responsibility as well for framing un
wise and excessive laws as for neglecting
to devise and adopt measures absolutely
demanded by the wants of the country.
Let us earns-tly hope that, before the ex
piration of our respective terms of service,
now rapidly drawing to a close, shall ex
pire, an All-Wise Providence will so guide
our counsels as to stregthen and preserve
the 'Federal Union, inspire reverence for
the Constitution; restore prosperity and
happiness to our ,whole people, and pro
mote on earth peace and good will toward
men. ANDREW JOHNSON.
