My attention has oecn called dor laz the recess of Congress to abases existing in tbe collection cf the cub nd strenuous efforts bare been msde for their correction by t-'vpcntive orders. The recommenda tions submitted to the Secretary of th Treasury br the Commission ap nnimed to examine into the collec tion of customs duties at the port of New York contain many suggestions inr the modification of tbe customs laws, to which the attention of Con is invited. It is a rostter of congratulation that notwithstanding the severe dif ference caused bv tbe war, the pub lic fith with all creditors has been nreRrrved. and that as a result of 1 K Ix nf rxilicV the public credit has oontinuooelT advanced, and our pub lie BM-uritipR aie regarded with tbe highest favor in tbe markets of the world. I trust that no act of the f.'overnment will cast a shadow upon its credit. The progress cf retunding the pub lic debt has been rapid and satisfac tory. Under the contract existing when I entered upon tbe discbarge of tbe duties of my office, bonds bear ing inte'est at tbe rate of four and one-half per cent were being rapidly sold, and within three months tbe aggregate sales of these bonds bad resched the suia of $200,000,000. With mv sanction the Secretary of the Treasury entered into a new con tract for tbe sale of four per cent bonds, and within thirty days after tbe popular subscription for 6uch bonds m ere opened subscriptions were had amounting to $T5,490,i50,which were paid for within ninety dars after the date of subscription, Bj this process within but little more than one Tear the annual interest on the public debt was reduced in tbe turn of !?:;,t7;,000. I recommend that Fiiitable provision be made to enable the people to easily convert their savings into Government securities as the best mode in which small osrings tnsy be well secured and viola a moderate interest. It is an object of public policy to retain among oar own people tbe securities of the United States. In this way our country is guarded against their sudden return from foreign countries caused bv war or other disturbances Itcvond our li aits. Ol a COMMERCE, Tto commerce of the United States with foreign nations, and especially the export of domestic productions. bas of lata vears largely increased, but the greater portion of this trade is conducted in foreign vessels. The important of enlarging our foreign trade, and especially by tbe direct and speedy interchange with coun tries on this continent.cannotbe over estimated, and it is a matter of great moment that our own shipping inter csts should receive to the utmost prac tical exient tbe benefit of oor com merce with other lands. These con siderations are forcibly urged by all the large commercial cities of the country, and public attention is gen erally and wisely attracted to the so lution of tbe problem they present. It is notdonbted that Congress will take them np in the broadest spirit of liberality, and respond to the public demand by practical legislation upon this subject THE ARM V. The report of the Secretary of War shows that tbe array has been actively employed during the year, and bas rendered very important service in suppressing Loetuipes in tbe Indian country, and in preserving peace and protecting life and proper ty in tbe interior, as well as along tbe Mexican border. A long and ar duous campaign bas been prosecuted with Gaol complete success against a portion of tbe Xez I'erces tribe of Indians. A tull account of this campaign will be found in the report of the Oeneral of tbe Army. It will bs seen that in its course several battles ere fought, in which a num ber of gallant officers and men lost their lives. I join with tbeKesretarr of War, and tbe General of the Arm' in awarding to the olSoers sod men employed in the long and toilsome pursuit and the final rapture of those Indians tbe honor and praise which is so justly their due. THE LABOR KIOT8. The very s?rious riots which oc curred in several of tbe States in July last rendered necessary tbe em ploy meat of a considerable portion of tbe army to preserve tie peace and maintain order in tbe States of West Virginia, Maryland. Tennsylvania and Illinois. These disturbances were so formidable as to defy tbe local and State authorities, and tbe National Executive was called apon in the mode provided by the Consti tution and la to furnish military aid. I am gratified to be able to state that tbe troops sent in response to the calls for aid in the suppression of domestic violence were able by tbe influence of their presence in the dis turlted regions, to preserve tbe peace and restore order without tbe use of force. In tbe discharge of this deli cate and important duty both officers and men acted with great prudence and courage, and for their services deserve the thsnks of tbe country. Disturbances along the Rio Grand in Texas, to which I have already referred, have rendered necessary the constant employment of military lorce in that vicinity. A full report of all military operations in that 1'iarter bas been transmitted to the House of Representatives in answer to a resolution of that body, and it w ill therefore notta oecessarv to en- ter iato details.

At the same time he was di reried to give notice of my determin a! ; jo to put an end to tbe invasion of our territory by lawless bands in tent upon the plunder or our peace ful citizens, even if the effectual pun ishment of tbe outlaws should make the crossing of tbe border by our troops in their pursuit necessary. It is believed that this policy has had tbe effect to check somewhat these depredations, and that with a con siderable increase of our force upon that frontier.and the establishment f several additional military posts along the Rio Grande, so as more effectually to guard that extensive border, pesce may be preserved and the lives and property of our citizens in Texas fully protected. Trior to tbe first day of July last the army was, in accordance with law, reduced to tbe maximum of 25.000 enlisted men, being a reduc tion of 2,500 below tbe force previous ly authorized. This reduction was made, as required by law, entirely from the infantry" end artillery branches of the service, without any reduction of tbe cavalry. Under the law as it now stands it is necessary that the cavalry regiments be re cruited to one hundred men in each comnanv for service on the Mexican and the Indian frontiers. The neces- sarv effect of this legislation is to redace the infantry and artillery arms of tbe service below the number re- auired for efficiency, and I concur with the Secretary of War in recom mending that authority be given to recruit all companies of infantry to at least fifty-eight men, and all bat teries of artillery to at least seventy- fire men. with tbe power in case of an emergency to increase tbe former to one hundred and tbe latter to one hundred and twenty-two men each. I invite your special attention to tbe following recommendations of tbe Secretary of War: First, that pro vision be made for supplying to tbe army a more abundant and better supply of reading matter ; second, that early action be taken by Con grets, looking to a complete revision and republication of tbe army regula tions; third, that section 1,258 of tbe Revised Statutes limiting the num ber of officers on tbe retired list be repealed ; fourth, that the claim arising under tbe act of July 4, 1804, for supplies taken by tbe army during the war be taken from tbe offices of tbe (Quartermaster and Commissary Generals, and transferred to the Southern Claims Conmisoion, or come other tribunal having more time and better facilities for their prompt investigation and decision than are possessed by these officers ; fifth, that Congress provide for an annuity fund for the families of deceased soldiers, as recommended by the Paymaster General of the Army. THE XAVY REPORT. The report of the Secretary of the Xary shows that we have six squad rons now engaged in the protection of our foreign commerce and other duties pertaining to tbe naval service. Tbe condition and operations of the department are also shown. The totsl expenditures lor the fiscal year ending June 30, 1817, were $16,077, 974 54. There are unpaid claims against the department chargeable to tbe last year, which are presented to j the consideration of Congress by tbe report of the Secretary. The estim ates for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1878, are $10,233,234 40, ex clusive of the sum of $2,314,231 sub mitted for new buildings, repairs and improvements of the several navy yards. Tbe appropriations for tbe present fiscal year, commencing July , 1, 1877, are $13,592,932 90. Thej amount drawn from the treasury from July 1 to November I, 1877, is $5,343,037 10, of which there is es timated to be yet available $1,029, 128 30, showing the amount of actual expenditure during tbe first frur months of the present fiscal year to have been $4,312,509 10. POSTAL DEPARTMENT. The report of tbe Postmaster Gen eral eoaUios a full and clear state ment of tbe PoBtoffice Department. Tbe ordinary revenues of the depart ment for tbe fiscal year ending June 30, 1877, including receipts from the money order business and from offi cial stamps and stamped envelopes, amounted to tbe sum of $27,531,535, 26. Tbe additional sum of $7,013, 000 was realized from appropriations from the general treasury for various purposes, making tbe receipts from all sources. $34,544,885 2G Tbe to tal expenditures during the fiscal year amounted to vSS,ia.jzi 44, leaving an excess or total receipts over total expenditures of $1, 058,562 Hi, an excess of total expenditures over ordinary receipts of $5,954,737 IS.

Tbe additional legislation recommended by tbe Post master General for improvements of tbe mail service and to protect the postal rereoues from tbe abuses prac ticed under existing laws, is respect fully commended to tbe careful con sideration of Congress. ATTORN ET GENERAL'S REPORT. The report of the Attorney Gener al contains several suggestions as to the administration of justice, to which I invite your attention. Tbe pressure or easiness in tbe supreme Court and in certain Circuit Couru ot the United States is now such that aeri ous delays to the great injury and even oppression of suitors occnr.and a remedy should be sought for this condition of affairs.

The present condition of tbe Indian tribes on the territory of tbe United Stages, and our relations with tbem, are fully set forth in the reports of tbe Secretary of the Interior and the Com missioner of Indian Affairs. After a series of most deplorable conflicts, the successful termination of which will reflect honor upon tbe brave soldiers who accomplished it, though it can not lessen our regret at their occur rence, we are now at peace with all the Indian tribes within our borders. To preserve that peace a just and hu mane policy will be the object of my earnest endeavors. Whatever may be said of their characters and sav age propensities, of the difficulties of introducing among them the habits of civilized life, and of tbe obstacler tbey have offered to tbe progress of settle ment aod enterprise in certain parts of the country, the Indians are cer tainly entitled to our sympathy and to a conscientious respect on our part for their claims upon our sense of jus tice. They were the aboriginal oc cupants of the land we now possess. Tbey have been anven irom piace io place. Tbe purchase money paid to tbem in some cases for what tbey called their own has still left them poor. In many instances when they bad settled down upon iana assigueu to tbem by compact and began to support themselves by their owu la bor, they were rudely joctled off and thrust into tbe wilderness again, .ianj if not most of our Indians wars have bad their origin in broken promises and acts of injustice upon our part, and tbe advance of tbe Indians in civilization has been slow because tbe treatment they received did not per mit it to be faster and more general ly e cannot expect tbem to improve and follow our guidance unless we keep faith with them in respecting the rights they possess, and unless, instead of depriving tbem of their op portunities, we lend them a helping band. I cordially approve tbe policy regarding tbe management of Indians affairs outlined in tbe reports of tbe Secretary of tbe Interior and of tbe Commissioner of Indian Affairs. The faithful performance of our promises is tbe first condition of a good under standing with the Indians. I cannot too urgently recommend to Congress that prompt aod liberal provision be made for tbe conscientious fulfillment of all engagements entered into by tbe Government with Indian tribe. To witbold tbe means necessary for tbe performance of a promise is al ways fa'ee economy, and is apt to prove disastrous in its cousequeoces Especial care is recommended to pro vide for Indians settled on their res ervations cattle and agricultural im plements to aid them in whatever efforts tbey may make to sopport themselves, and by tbe establishment and maintenance of schools to bring them under the control of civilized ia&uences. I see no reason why In dians, who can give satisfactory proof of having by their own labor support ed tbeir families for a number of years, and who are willing to detach them selves from tbeir tribal relations, should not be admitted to tbe benefit of the homestead act aod the privi leges of citizenship, and I recommend the passage of a lav to that effect (t will be an act of justice as well as a measure of encouragement Earn est efforts are being made to purify the Indian service so that every do) lar appropriated by Congress shall redound to tbe benefit of Indians as intended. These efforts will have my firm support. With an improved service and every possible encourage ment held out to the Indians to bet ter tbeir condition and to elevate themselves in the scale of civilization, we may hope to accomplish at the same time a good work for tbem and for oo reel ves. TIMBER DEPREDATIONS. I invite tbe attention of Congress to tbe importance of the statements and suggestions made by toe Secre tary of the Interior conzerning tbe depredations committed on the tim ber lands of tbe United States, aod the necessity for tbe preservation of tbe forests. It is believed that tbe measures taken in pursuance of exist ing laws to arrest these depredations will be entirely successful if Congress by an appropriation tor that purpose renders tbeir continued enforcement possible. The experience of other nations teaches ns that a country can not be stripped of forests with impu nity, and we shall subject ourselves to the gravest consequences unless the wasteful and improvident manner in which tbe forests in the United States are destroyed be effectually remedied. I earnestly recommend that the measures suggested by the Secretary of the Interior for tbe sup pression "f the depredations upon the public timber lands of tbe United Stales, for tbe selling of timber from the public lands, and for the preser vation oi forests, be embodied in a law, and that, considering tbe urgent necessity of enabling the people of certain States aod Terntories to pur chase timber from the public in a le gal manner, which at present tbey cannot do, such a law should be pass ed without unavoidable delay. I woold also call tbe attention of Congress to tbe statements made by tbe Secreta ry of tbe Interior concerning tbe dis position that might be made of tbs desert lands, not irrigable, west of tbe hundredth meridian. These lands are practically unsalable uader exist ing laws, and tbe suggestion is worthy of consideration, tbst a ersuai cf leasehold tenure would make tbem a source of profit to tbe United States, while at the same time legalizing tbe business of caule-raicg, which is at present carried on upon then, AcjIHICl LITRE. The report of tbe Commissioner of Agriculture contaios the kratifying announcement of tbe extraordinary success which has rewarded tbe agri cultural industry of the country for tbe past year, w itb tbe fair prices which we obtain for the products of tbe soil. especially for the surplus which oor people have to export, we may con 5 deouy turn to tbis as the most im portant of til our resources for tbe revival of the depressed iodontries of tbe country.

The eff.ru of ibe department to iacrea tie produc tion of important ankles of caassmp tioo will, it is hoped, improve the de mand for labor and advance the busi ness of the country, and etsntaally result iu caving some of the tuaoy millions that are now aonually paia to foreign nations for sugar aad other staple products, which habitual us has mad necessary ia our domestic every day life. CENTENXIAL EXPOSITIOX The Board on behalf of tbe United States Executive Departments at tbe International Exhibition of 1877 has concluded iu labors. Tb final re port of Board was transmitted to Congress by the President near tbe close of tbe last session, As tboee papers are understood to contain in teresting and valuable information, and will constitute tbe only report emanating from the Government on tbe subject of tbe exhibition, 1 invite attention to the matter and recom mend that the report be published for general information. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. Congress is empowered by tbe Constitution with tbe authority of ex clusive legislation over the District of Columbia, in which the 6eat of Government of tbe nation is located. Tbe interests of tbe District having no direct representation in Congress, are entitled to especial consideration and care at the hands of the general government Tbe capital of tbe United States belongs to tbe nation aud it is natural that tbe American people should take pride in the seat of tbeir .National Government, and desire it to be an ornament to tbe country. Much bas been done to render it htalihful, convenient and attractive, but much remains to be done, which its permanent inhabi tants are not able and ought not to be expected to do. To impose upon tbem a large proportion of the eost re quired for public improvements, which are in a great measure planned and extcut:d for the benefit of the Government, and tbe many thousands of visitors from all parts of the coun try who temporarily reside at the capitol of tbe nation, is an evident injustice. Special attention is asked by tbe Commissioners of tbe District in their report, which is herewith transmitted, to the importance of permanent adjustment by Congress of tbe financial relations between tbe United States and the Die rict.involv iog tbe regular annual contribution by tbe United States of its just pro portion of tbe expenses of tbe District Government, and of tbe outlay for all needed public improvements, and such measure of relief from the burden of taxation now resting opon the people of th District as in tbe wisdom of Congress may be deemed just Tbe report of tbe Commissioners shows that tbe affairs of tbe District are in a condition as satisfactory as could be expected, in view of the heavy burden or debt resting on it, and its very limited means for necessary expen ses. The debt of tbe District is as f Hows: Old funded debt, $3,379, C91 96; 3 C5 bonds, guaranteed by tbe United States, $13,743,250 Total bonded debt, $22,122,941 96 to which should be added certain out standing claims as explained in tbe report of tbe Commissioners, $1,187, 204 52; a total debt of $23,310,146 43 Tbe Commissioners also ask atteotion to tbe importance of the improvement of the Potomac river and the reclama tion of marshes bordering the city of Washington, and their views oa tbe subject are concurred in by the mem bers of tbe Board of Health, whose report in also herewith transmitted. Both the commercial and sanitary in terests of the District will be greatly promoted, 1 doubt not by this im provement Your attention is invi ted to the suggestion of tbe Commis sioners and of tbe Board of Health, for tbe organization of a Board of Charities, to have aupervision and control of tbe disbursement of all moneys for charitable purposes from the District treasury. I desire also to ask your especial attention tc tbe need of adding to the efficiency of the public schools of tbe District by supplemental aid from tbe national treasury. This is especially just since so large a number of those at tending these schools are children of emplorees of tbe Government. 1 earnestly commend to your care tbe interests of the people of tbe District, wbo are so intimately associated with tbe Government establishments, and to whose enterprise tbe good or der and attractiveness of tbe capital are largely one, and I atk your at tention to tbe request of the Commis sioners for legislation in behalf of tbe interests entrusted to their cars. Tbe appropriations asked for the care of tbe reservations belonging to tbe Government, within tbe city, by tbe Commissioner of Public Buildings and Grounds are also commended to your favorable consideration. WASHINGTON MONUMENT. The report of tbe Joint Commis sion created by tbe act approved August 2, 137G, entitled "An act pro viding for the completion of the Washington momument," is also herewith transmitted, with accompa nying documents. Tbe Board of En gineer Umcers detailed .to examine the monument in compliance with tbe second section of tbe act have re ported that tbe foundation is insuffi cient No authority exists for mak ing tbe expenditure necessary to se cure its stability. I tnerefore recom mend that tbe Oommissjon be author ized to eipend such portion of the sum appropriated by tbe act as may be necessary for the purpose. Tbe present unfinished condition of the monument, oogun so long ago, is a teproacb to the nation. It cannot be doubled that tbe patriotic sense of the country will warmly respond to snob prompt provision as maybe made for its complpwon at an eariy day, and I urge opon Congress te propriety and necessity of immediate legisla tion for this purpose. PCRLIC EDUCATION. The wisdom of legislation upon the part of Congress in aid of tbe States for tbe education of tbe whole peo ple in those branches of BUiij which are taoght in tbe common schools of tbe country, is no longer a question. The intelligent judgment of the coun try goes still further, regarding it as also both constitutional and expedi ent for tbe General Government to extend to technical and higher educa tion bod ai as is aeetnea essential to the general welfare, and 19 our due prominence among tbe enlight ened aod cultivated nations of tbe world. more prosperity, whether tf administration or finance, or of trne nationality or sentiment, de pends upon tbe virtue and intelli gence of the people. It is rsio to hope for the success of a free Govern men; without tbe means of insuring the iutelligeocj! of those who are tbe source of power.

It is encouraging to oWrre, 10 connection with tbe grovtb of fratwaa) feeling . in those tSiates in which slavery, formerly ex- isiea, eyiaences or iocrca0g luicrest in universal education, and J shall be ld to give my approval to any ap propriate aessorea which may be enacted by Coogpaas for tbe purpose of supplementing with oatfoqa! aid toe Jocal syeiem of education to those is t ate, and in all the State ; and having already invited your tention to the needs of the Dm rict of Columbia with respect to iu public school system, I here add that I be lieve it desirable, aot so much with reference to the local wants of the District, bat to the great and lasting benefit of the entire country, that thia system eboold be crowned with a university in all respects in keeping witb tbe national capital, and thereby realize tbe cherished hopes of Wash ington on tbis subject. I also earn estly commend tbe request of the Regents of the Smithsonian Institute that an adequate appropriation be made for tbe establishment and con duct of a National Museum under their supervision. CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. The question of providiog for the preservation and growth of tbe libra ry of Congress is also one of national importance, as the depository of all copyright publications and records in tbis library has outgrown the pro visions for its accommodation, and the erection on such site as the. judg ment of Congress may approve of a fire-proof library building to preserve the treasures and enlarge tbe useful ness of this valuable collectijn is recommended. I recommend also such legislation as will reuder avail able and efficient for the purpose of instruction, so far as is consistent witb the public service, tbe cabinets or museums of invention, of surgery, of education, and of agriculture, and other collections, tbe property of the National Government The capital of tbe nation should be something more than a mere political center. We should avail ourselves of all the opportunities which Providence has here placed at our command to pro mote tbe general intelligence of tbe people, and increase the conditions most favorable to tbe success aod prosperity of our institutions.

It is thought that no paper or series ot papers yet issued in Scribnkb will so fully realize the con stant desire of the magazine to keep out ot the ruts, and, both in text and illustrations, to obtain quality rather than quantity, and to print Ireah. strong and delicate work from original sources. "Rozy '.-by EDWARD EOGLESTON (author of "The Hoosier Schoolmaster," fcc) This new novel will doubtless . be most important American serial of the tbe year.

Dr. Brewer has probably the finest collection of birds' eggs in the world to draw opon for the illustration of these papers. The Haddle-Horte. Col. George E. Waring, with whose excellent work of various sorts our readers are familiar, con tributes two illustrated articles on the horee. He treats specially of saddle-horses and their use lor pleasure and for sport, including road-riding, iox-hunting and racing. The nature of the English thor oughbred and thut of his Eastern progeni tor (tbe Arabian) are tully considered in relation to these uses. isiie Holm.
