(Con tinned from firt pt.) TUE STATE OP COLORADO. Confess, by an act approved the 3d day f March, 1875, authorized the inhabi tants of the Territory of Colorado to form State Government, with the name of the State of Colorado, and therein provided for the admission of said State, when formed, into the Union upon an equal footing with the original States. A Constitution having been adopted and ratified by the people of that State, and the acting Governor hav ing certified to me the facts as provided by paid act, together with a copy of such Con stitution and ordinances, as provided for in the said act ; and the provisions of the said act of Congress having been duly complied vith, I issued a proclamation upon the 1st of August, 187(5, a copy of which ia hereto annexed. THE ARMY AND ITS OCCUPATION IN THE PAST YEAR. The report of the Secretary of War 6l,ows that the Army has been actively unloved during the year in subduing, at t'ic reauest of the Indian Bureau, certain wild bands or me oiuui inuuu ujuuu, auu in preserving the peace at the South dur ing the election. The commission con Mituted under the act of July 24, 1S76, to consider and report on the whole subject of reform and reorganization of the whole Vrmy met in August last, and has collected a lur'e mass of statistics and opinions bear in!: upon the subject before it. These are now under consideration, and their report ii progressing. I am advised through the President of the commission that it will be impracticable to comply with the clause of the act requiring the report to be presented through me to Congress oti the first day of this session, as there has not yet been time for that mature deliberation which the importance of the subject demands. There fore, I ask that the time of making the re port be extended to the 29th day of Jan uary, 1S77. In accordance with the resolu tion of Aug. 15, 1370, the Army Regula tions prepared under the act of March 1, 17,"), have not been promulgated, but are h:-!J until after the report of the above jn ntioned commission shall have been revived and acted on. By the act of Aug. 15, lS7i, the cavalry force of the Army va-s inenvised by 2,500 men, with the proviso that they should be discharged on Jir. expiration of the hostilities. Under this authority the cavalry regiments have h.-ea strengthened, and a portion of them ;;re now in the titild pursuing the remnants f iiv.'. indians with whom they h ive been eii.'id during the Summer. The esti mates of the War Department are made up on the basis of the number of men authoriz- 1 !'V law, and their requirements, as shown lv v.Mrs of experience, and also with the purpose cn the part of the bureau officers 1 1 provide for all contingencies that may ariso; during the time for which the esti mates are made, exclusive engineer estimates presented in accordance with acts of. Con trr'ss. calling for surveys and estimates for improvements at various localities. The otKiiUes now presented are about six millions in excess of the appropriations for ;he ve tr3 1874-5 and 1S75-S. The in irc:;se is aked in order to provide for the iacreased cavalry force, should their services lie necessary ; to prosecute economically work upon important public buildings ; to pwvile for armament of fortifications and manufacture of small arm, and to replenish tiie working stock in the supply depart ments. The appropriations for these last named have for the past few years been so laiiit-1 that the accumulations in store will ('entirely exhausted during the present year, and it will be necessary to at once begiu to replenish them. KFA'tMM EXI'ATION'S BY THE SECRETARY OF WAR. I invoke your special attention to the f til-wing recommendations of the Secretary of War: First That the claims under the act of Ja!y 4, 18U4, for supplies taken by the Army during the war, be removed from tin; offices of the Quartermaster and Com-i-ary Generals, and transferred to the 'Vmihern Claims Commission. These claims are of a precisely similar nature to those ?" oeiore tlie southern Claims Lumrais- .,. If . I .

Yet the most has been done that was possible with the means at command ; and by substantially rebuilding soine ot bur old ships with durable material and completely repairing and refitting our monitor fleet, the Navy has been gradually so brought up that, though it does uot maintain its relative position among the progressive Navies of the world, it is now in a condition more powerful and effective than it ever has been in time of peace. The complete repairs of our five heavy iron clads are only delayed on account of the inadequacy of the appropriations made last year for the working bureaus of the depart ment, which were actually less in amount than those made before the war, notwith standing the greatly enhanced price 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 completed without further unecessary delay and expense. When this is done all the strength that there is in our Navy will be developed and useful to its full capacity, and it will be powerfull for purposes ot defense, and also for offensive ac turn, should the necessity for that arise with in a reasonable distance from our shores The fact that our Navy is not more modern and powerful than it is has been made a cause of complaint against the Secretary o the Navy by persons who at the same time criticise and complaiu of his endeavors to bring the Navy that we have to its best and most efficient condition, but the good sense of the country will understand that it is really due to his practical action that we have at this time any effective nava torce at command. THE rOSTAL SERVICE. The report of the Postmaster Genera shows the excess of expenditures, exclud ing expenditures on account of previous years, over receipts for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 187(, to be S4,151,9S8 06 Estimated expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1878, are 36,723,432 43 Estimated revenue for the same period is 830,645, 165, leaving an estimated excess of expenditure to be appropriated as a deficiency of 6,078,267 43. The Post master General, like his predecessor, is convinced that a change in the basis o adjusting the salaries of Postmasters of the fourth class is necessary for the good of the service, as well as for the interests of the Government, and urgently recommends that the compensation of the class of Post masters above mentioned be based upon the business ot their respective ofiices, as ascertained from the sworn returns to the Auditor of stamps cancelled. OBSTRUCTION IN THE 60UTII. i f . t -I . 1 lew I'ostmasters in tne southern States have expressed great apprehension of their personal safety, on account of their connection with the postal service, and have specially requested that their reports o apprehended danger should not be made public, lest it should result in the loss o their lives. But no positive testimony o: interference has been submitted, except in the case of a mail messenger at Spartan burg, in South Carolina, who reported that he had been violently driven away while in charge of the mails, on account of his political affiliations. An Assistant Su perintendent of the railway mail service investigated this case, and reported that the messenger had dissapcared from his post, leaving his work to be performed by a substitute. The Postmaster Genera thinks this case is sufficiently suggestive to justify him in recommending that more severe punishment should be provided for the offense of assaulting any person in charge of the mails, or of retarding or otherwise obstructing them by threats of personal injury. DECREASED DEFICIENCY LAST YEAR A very gratifying result is presented in the fact that the deficiency of the depart ment during the last fiscal 3'car was re duccd to $4,081790 18, as against S6,- 169.938 88 of the preceding year. The difference can be traced to the larjre in crease in its ordinary receipts, (which greatly exceeded the estimates therefor,) and a slight decrease in its expenditures The ordinary receipts of the Post Office Department for the past seven fiscal years have increased at an average of over eight per cent, per annum, while the increase of expenditures for the same period has been about 5.50 per cent, per annum, and the decrease of deficiency in the revenues has been at the rate of nearly two per cent per annum. THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMERT. The report of the Commissioner of Agriculture, accompanying the Message, will be found one of great interest, show ing, as it does, the great progess of the last century in the variety of products of the soil, increased knowledge and skill in the labor of producing, saving, and manipulat ing the same to prepare them for the use of man, in the improvements in machinery to aid the agriculturist in his labors, and in a knowledge of those scientific subjects ne cessary to a thorough system of economy in agricultural production, namely, chemistry, botany, entomology, &c. A study of this .i .i .. . i i. report by those interestea in agriculture and deriving their support from it will find it of value in pointing out those articles which are raised in greater quantity than the needs of the world require, and must eil therefore for less than the cost of pro duction, and those which command a profit over cost of production because there is not an overproduction. I call special attention to the need of the department for a new gallery for the reccp tioned of the exhibits returned from the Centennial Exhibition, including the ex hibits donated by very many foreign na tions, and to the recommendations of the Commissioner of Agriculture generally. THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. The reports of the District Commission ers and of" the Board of Health are just re ceived, too late to read them and to make recommendations thereon, and are' here with submitted. THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION. The International Exhibition held in Philadelphia this year in commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of Ameri can Independence, has proved a great suc cess, and well, no doubt, be oi endariog ad- vantage to the country. It has shown tlie great progress in the arts, sciences, and mechanical skill made in a single century and demonstrated that we are but little be hind older nations in any one branch, while in some we scarcely have a rival. It has served, too, not only to bring peoples and products of skill and labor from all parts o the world together, but in bringing toge ther people from all sections of our own country, which must prove a great benefit in the information imparted and the pride ot country engendered. It has been sug gested by scientists interested in and con nected with the Smithsonian Institution in a communication herewith inclosed, that the Government exhibit he removed to the capital, and a suitable building be erected or purchased for its accommodation as a permanent exhibit. I earnestly recom mend this, and, believing that Congress would second this view, I directed that al Government exhibits at the Centennial Ex hibition should remain where they are, ex cept such as might be injured by remaining in a buildidg not intended as a protection in inclement weather, or such as may be wanted by the department furnishing them until the question of permanent exhibition is acted on. Although the moneys appro priated by Congress to enable the partiei pation of the several executive departments in the International Exhibition of 1876 were not sufficient to carry out the under taking to the full extent as first contem plated, it gives me pleasure to refor to the very efficient and creditiable manner in which the board appointed from these sev eral departments to provide an exhibition on me pari or me trovcrnmenc, nave ais charged their duties, with the funds placed at their command, without a precedent to guide them in the preparation of such a display. The success of their labors was amply attested by the sustained attention which the contents of the Government Building attracted during the period o me jxniouion, irom ootn loreign and native visitors. I am strongly impressed with the value of the collection made by the Government for the purpose of the Exhibition, illustrating, as it does, mineral resources of the country, statistical and practical evidences of growth as a nation, and the uses of mechanical arts and the applications .f the the our the ap plied science in the administration of the affairs of Government. Many nations have voluntarily contributed their exhibits to the United States, to increase the interest in any permanent exhibition Congress may provide for. For this act of generosity tney should receive the thanks of the peo pie, and 1 respect! ully suggest that a resolu tion of Congress to that effect be adopted THE MODE OF ELECTINQ THE PRESIDENT The attention of Congress cannot be too earnestly called to the necessity of throw ing some greater safeguard over the method of choosing and declaring the election of a President. Under the present system there seems to be no provided remedy for contes ing the election in any State. The remedy is partially, no doubt, in the enlightenment of electors. The compulsory support of the tree schools, and the disfranchisement of all who cannot read and write the English language after a fixed probation, would meet my hearty approval. I would not make this apply, however, to those already voters, but I would to all becoming so af ter the expiration of the probation fixed upon. ioreigners coming to the countrv to become citizens who are educated in their own language would acquire the re quisite knowledge of ours during the ne cessary residence to obtain naturalization If they did not take interest enough in terest in our language to acquire aufficient Knowledge ot it to enable them to study the institutions and laws of the country 11 .ITT a intelligently, i would not conler upon them the right to make such laws nor to select those who do. SANTO DOMINGO ANNEXATION. I append to this Message, for convenient reference, a synopsis of administrative events and of all recommendations to Con grcss, made by me during the last seven y cam. aimu way enow some ot these recommendations not to have been wisely conceived, but 1 behove the larger part will be no discredit to the Administration. One of the these recommendations met with the united opposition of one political party in the Senate, and with a strong oppoition from the other, namely, the treaty for the annexation of Santo Domingo to the United States, to which I shall specially refer, maintaining, as I do, that if my views had been concurred in, the country would be in a more prosperous condition to-day, both politically and financially. Santo Domingo is ferti!e,and upon its soil may be grown just those tropical products of which the United States use so much, and which are produced and prepared for market now by slave labor almost exclusively, namely, sugar, coffee, dyewoods, mahogany, tropical fruits, tobac co, c. About seventy-five per cent, of the exports ot Cuba are consumed m the United States. A large percentage of the exports of Brazil also find the same market. These are paid for almost exclusively in coin, legislation, particularly in Cuba, be ing unfavorable to a mutual exchange of the products of each country. Flour ship ped from the Mississippi to Havana can pass by the very entrance to the city on its way to a port in Spain, there pays a duty hxed upon articles to be re-exported, trans erred to a opanish vessel, and brought back almost to the point of starting, pay ing a second duty, and still leave a proht over what would be received by direct ship ment. All that is produced in Cuba could be produced in Santo Domingo. Being a part of the United States, commerce be tween the island and the main land would be free ; there would be no export duties upon her shipments, nor import duties on those coming here. There would bo no import duties upon the supplies, machinery, ifcc, going from the States. The effect that would have been produced upon Cuban commerce with these advantages to a rival is observable at a glance. 1 he Cuban ques tion would have been settled Jong ago in "avor of "free Cuba." Hundreds of Ameri- t ii it. i can vessels would dow De advantageously used in transporting the valuable woods and other products of the soil of the island to a market, and in carrying supplies and emigrants to it. The island is but sparsely settled, while it has an area etzf&oient for the profitable employment of several millions of people. . The soil would have soon fallen into the hands of United States capitalists. The products are so valuable in eommerce that emigration there would have been encouraged. The emanucipated race of the South would have found there a eon genial home, where their civil rights would not be disputed, and where their labor would be so much sought after that the poorest among them could have found the means to go. Thus in cases of great op pression and cruelty such as have been practiced upon them in many places within the last eleven years, whole communities would have sought refuge in Santo Domingo. I do not suppose that the whole race would have gone, nor is it desirable that tW should ; their labor is desirable, undispen- BaDie almost, where they now are. But the possession of this territory would have left the negro "master of the situation" by enaming him to demand his rights at home on the pain of finding them elsewhere. I do not present these views now as a recommeudation for a renewal of the snh- ject of annexation, but I do refer to it to vindicate my previous action in regard to it. With the present Congress inv official life terminates. It IS Tint YtrntviMA that vv 'WMW V U V public affairs will ever again receive atten tion from me further than as a citisen of the ltepublic, always taking a deep interest in the honor, integrity and Drosrjeritv of the whole land.
