THE KAVV.
The report of the Secretary of the
Navy hercwilh accompanying, ex
plains fully the condition of that
branch of the pnblicservicc,its wants
and deficiency, the expenses incurred
during the prist year, and the appro
priation for the same. 1 1 also gives a
complete history of the services of
the navy for the past year. In addi
tion to its regular service, it is evi
dent that unless early steps arc taken
to preserve our navy that, in a few
years, the United Slates will be the
weakest nation upon" the occsn of
nearly all the rrcat powers. With
an energetic, progressive and business
people HUe ours, penetrating ami i
forming business relations witu every
part of the known world, a navy
strong enough to command the re
spect of our Hag abroad, is necessary
for the full protection of their rights.
I recommend a careful consideration
by Congress of the recommendations
made by the Secretary of the Navy.

tatext.s.
There were issued from thc Patent
Ofliee, during the year ending Sep
tember 30, 1871, 13,C2C patents, 233
extensions, and 550 certificates and
registers of trade marks. During
the same length of time 18,587 ap
plications for patents, including re
issues and designs, have been receiv
ed and 3,100 caveats filed. Thc fees
received during the same period
amounted to $700,951 80, and thc
total expenditures to $023,553 90,
making the net receipts over the ex
penditures $77,400-90. Since 1830,
200,000 applications for patents have
been filed, and about 130,000 patents
issued. The office is being conduct
ed under the same laws and general
organization as were adopted at its
inauguration, when only from 100
to 500 applications were made ier
annum. The 'Commissioner shows
that the office has outgrown thc orig
inal plan, and that a new organiza
tion has become necessaiy. This
subject was presented to Congress in
a special communication in February
la.-t, with my approval and thc ap
proval of the Secretary or the Interi
or; and the suggestions contained
in said communication were embrac
ed in the bill that was reported to the
House by the Committees oil Pat
ents at the last session. The subject
or the reorganization or the Patent
office as contemplated by the bill rc
fcrrcd to. is one of such importance
to thc industrial interests of the coun
try that I commend it to the atten
tion of Congress. The Commission
er also treats ih subject of thc sev
aration of the Patent ollice from the
Department of the Interior. This
subject is also embraced in thc bill
heretofore referred to. The Com
missioner complains of the want of
room for the model gallery and for
the working force and necessary files
of the offices. It is hniKissiblc to
transact thc business of tbc office
properly without more room in which
to arrange files and drawing that
must be consulted hourly in the
transaction of business. The whole
of the Patent Office buildings, will
soon be needed, if it i not already,
for the accommodation or the busi
ness or thc Patent Ollice.
pensions.
Thc amount paid for pensions iu
the last fiscal year was $30,109,340,
an amount larger bj- $3,708,434 than
was paid during the preceding year.
Of this amount, $2,313,409 was 'paid
under the act of Congress of Febru
ary 17, 1871, to survivors of the war
of 1812. The annual increase of pen
sions by the legislation of Congress
has more than kept pace with the na
tural yearly losses from the rolls.
Thc act of Congress of June 8, 1872,
has added an entimated amount of
$750 per annum to thc rolls without
increasing the number or pensioners.
We cannot, therefore, look for any
substantial decrease in the expendi
tures of this necessary department
for some time to come, or so long as
Congress continues to so change thc
rale of pcusons. The whole number
of soldiers enlisted in the war of the
rebellion was 2,088,523. The total
number of claius for invalid pensions
is 170,000, being C per cent, of thc
whole number or cnliiAcd uen. The!

the teuuitoiues.
Thc alfairs iu the territories are
generally satisractory. Thc energy
and business capacit' or the pioneers
who arc settling up the vast domains
not j'et incorporated into States are
keeping 'pace in the internal improve
ment and civil government with the
older communities. In but one or
them, Utah, is the condition of af
fairs unsatisfactory, except so Tar as
the quiet or the citizens may be dis
turbed by real or imaginary danger
or Indian hostilities. It has seemed
to be the policy of the Legislature or
Utah to evade all responsibility to
the government or the United States
and even to hold a position in hos
tility lo it. I recommend a caitTuI
revision or the present laws or thc
territory I13' Congress and tlw enact
ment of such a law as the one pro
posed in Congress at thc last ses
sion, for instance, or something simi
lar to it, as will secure peace, the.
equality rail citizens before the law,
and the cxtinguishinciilof pobygamv.
Since the establishment or a terri
torial government for the District or
Columbia, the improvement or thc
city or Washington and surround
ings, and thc increased prospert' of
the citizens, is observable to the most
casual visitor. The nation being a
large owner of property in this tit)-,
should bear with the citizens of the
district a just share of these improve
ments. "I recommend, therefore, an
appropriation to reimburse thc citi
zens for the work done oy Ihein along
and in front of the public grounds
during the past year, and a liberal
appropriation in order that the im
provement and embellishment of the
public buildings and grounds may
keep pace with the improvements
made by the territorial authorities.

COXCLUTION.
All earnest desire has bceir- felt to
correct abuses which have grown up
iu the civil service of the country
through thc defective method or mak
ing appointments to ofliee. Hereto
fore federal o'liccs have been lcgard
ded too much as thc reward of politi
cal services. Under authority or
Congress rules have Wen established
to regulate the tenure or ofliccs, and
the mode or appointments. It can
not be expected that any SVSteill or;
i . .r i
rules can be entirely eiieclive and i
