But the Government has of late been cautiously but steadily feeling its way to tiie adoption of the po'i-y which lias already produced gratify ing results, and which ia nay judg r .1.. ment is likelv. if Conuress and tlie Executive accord in its support, to relieve us ere long from the difficul ties which have hitherto beset us. For the success of the efforts now ,....!-;,wr t, i'nfr,i.lni'fi firiic:iT flip In. uians the customs end pursuits of civilized liie, and gr. dually to ab- sorb them into the ma s of our citi- zens, sharing their rights and hold-1 ;,,,t i.i ti.i.irV.vnno.ii.ilitii-s. there is imperative need lor legislative ac tion. My suggestions in that regard w ill be chiefly such as have been already called to the attention of Congress and have received to some extent its consideration. First, I recommend the passage of an act making the laws of the various States ami Territories applicable to the Indian reservations within their - borders, and extending the laws of; the responsibilities of citizenship in tlictate of Arkansas to the por- jthat jortion of the country more im th.o ..f'tiiH Io(l:.m Tei-riturv not oc-! powrished by war. I have been - . i cupied ny tin: live civilized inoes. Tlie Juuian should receive the pro tection of the law. He should be allowed to maintain in court his rights of person and property. He has repeatedly begged for tins priv ilege, lis exercise would be very valuable to him i:i his progress to ward civilization. Second, the great importance of incisures which have been frequently recommended by my predecessors in office, and in the furtherance of which several bills have from time to time been introduced in both house of Con gress, the enatment ofthe law per mitting the allotment in severalty to such Indians at least as desire it of a reasonable quantity of land secur ed to them by patents and for their own protection inalienable for twenty-five vcars is demanded for their .resent welfare and their permanent ! advancement. In return for sucli considerate action on the part of the Government there is reason to be lievt that lhe Indians in large num bers would be pcrsiaded to sever the tribal relations and to engage at once in agricultural pursuits, con vinced that their nomadic days were over, and that it is now lor their best interests to conform their man ner of life to tlie new order of things. By no greater inducement than the assurance of a crmaneut title to the soil can they be led to engage in the occupation of tilling it. The well attested reports of their inr easing interest in husbandry justify the hope and belief that tlie enactment of such a statute as I recommend would be at once attended with grat ifying result. A resort to the allot ment system would have a direct and powerful influence in the dis solution ofthe tribal bond which is a prominent feature of the savage lite, and which stands so strongly to jK-rpctrate it there. I advise a liberal appropriation for the suj port of Indian schooN, because of my confident belief that such a course is consistent with the wisest economy. Even among the most i uncultivated Indian tribes there is reported to be a general and ur- j gent desire on tlie part of the chiefs and older members for the educa-j tion of their children. It is nnfort- I nnate, in view of this fact, that da ring tiie pnst year tne means wmen j nave neen at tne command ot the ll.b.:tiui iejLil uoi in ii'i liic iu. jisc of Indian instruction have proved to be utterly inadequate The suc cess ofthe sehoo's wliich are in op eration at .Hampton, Carlisle and forest Grow, should not only en courage more generous provision for the support of these institutions, but should prompt the establish ment of others of a similar charac ter. They are doubtless n uc' raor potent for good than the day6chools Ujion the reservations, as tne puptl. are altogether separated from tlie surroundings of savage life and brought into constant contact with civilization. There are jnany other phases of tiiis subject whih are of great inter act but which cannot le included within the becoming limits of this c(iniiiunication. They are discti cd ably in the reports of the Secre- lary oi im- interior ana inecomnus- . . . l.i 1 iiii'i i t!iiii:iii .i i .i is. THE CAMTK OF TOLYCAMY J Executive. I VoT many years the 111 ins aiOiU.ii message to Loilgress, has nrg-d lhe nocossity of stringent 1" 'i"laiio!i for the suppression of polygamv m tuo ierntor.es. and I especially m the Territory of L Uh. j The existing statute for the nunish-; ic.ctit of this odious crime, so revolt ing to the moral and religious sense ol 'Christendom, has Wn persist ently and contemptuously violated ever since its enactment. Indeed, in f- iiile of the commendable efforts in the part of the authorities who ent force of the Pension Bureau, 675 represent the Uuitvd States in thatjcleiks, it is estimated that it will j Tenitory, the law has in very rare instances been enforced, and, for a tause to which reference will pres ently be made, is practically a dead letter.

The Court refers to the fact that the secrecy attending the celebration of marriages in that Territory makes that part of the polygamy very dif ficult, and the propriety is suggested of modifying that law of evidence which now makes a wife incompe tent to testify against her husband. This suggestion is approved. I rec ommend also the passing of an act providing that in the Territories of the United States the fact that a womau has been married to a per son charged with bigamy shall not disqu .iil'y her as a witness upon his trial for hat offense. I further rec ommend legislation by which any person so!emni7ang a anv of the Territories i .n.?7iiiT .i rinrri:iie in hall be re- ouired under stringent penalties for , , . refut!;li t(, fiR, a certificate .. . ,t Simrcme 1 Supreme Court of tlie Territory, unless Con gress may devise other practicable measures for obviating the difficul ties which have hitherto attended tlie efforts to suppress this iniquity. I assure you of my determined pur pose to cooperate wit', you in any lawful and discreet measures which may be proposed to that end. TIIK AID OK EDl'CATIO.V. Although our system of govern ment does not contemplate that the nation should provide or support a j svstem of education of our people, no inpasure calculated to promote that general intelligence and virtue upon which the perpetuity of our in stitutions so creatly depends, have I ever been regarded with indifference by Congresa or the Lxecutive. A large portion of the public domain has been from time to time devoted to the promotion of education. There is now a special reeson why by setting apart the proceeds of its sales of public lands, or by some other course, the Government should aid the work of education. Many who now exercise the right of suf frage are unable to read the ballot w hich they cast. Upon many who had iust emerged from a condition a, , i m of slavery, were suddenly devolved . . - pleased to learn from the report of the Commissioner ot llucation mat there has been lately a commenda ble increase of interest and effort for their instruction, butall that can lie done by local legislation and pri vate generosity should be supple mented by such aid as can be con stitutionully afforded by the Nation al Government. I would suggest that if any fund be dedicated to this, it will be wise ly distributed in the different States according to the ratio of illiteracy, as by this means those locations which are most in need of such as sistince will reap its especial bene fit. The report of the Commissioner of Agriculture exhibits the results of the experiments in which that department has been engaged dur- ig the past year, and makes lm reference to .1 suggestions is the agricultural development of the country. The steady increase of our population and the consequent addition to the number of those en gaging in the pursuit of husbandry are giving to this department a growing dignity and importance, the Commissioner's suggestions touching its capacity for greater usefulness deserve attention, as it more and more commends itself to the interest which it was created to promote. , THE WOKE OF THE PEXSIOV UfREAU. It appears from the report of the Commissioners of Pensions that lSii'J, 7811,0: J3 original pension claims have been filed, 450,949 of those have been allowed and in scribed on the pension roll ; 72,539 have been rejected and abandoned, being thirteen per cent, of the whole of claims settled. There are now jiendipg for settlement 20-5,575 orig inal pension claims, 25,575 of which were filed orior to July 1st, 1SS0. These, when allowed, will involve the payment of arrears from the date of discharge in the case of an invalid, and from the date of death or termination of a prior right in all other cases. From all the da ta obtainable it is estimated that fifteen per cent, of the number of claims no pending will be reject ed or abandoned. This would show i the probible rejection of 34,040 cas ts an(j probable admission of nim, i.i-'iv.i-i;,,,, nii nr whirfi ! mvoives tne payment oi arrears ot pension. With the present force employed, the number of adjudica tions rc:n lining, no more new bu-1 t ness intervening, t ns. number . i ; claims (iy3,UU0 could lie acted ui on in a period six years, aud taking January 1, 1864, as a near period from which to estimate in each case an average amount of arrears, it is found that every case allowed would require for the first payment upon it the sum of 1.3-30 Multiplying this amount by the whole number of probable admission gives S2-30, IXX,'XK) us the sum required for tlie first payment! This represents the sum which must be paid upon the claims which were filed belore July, 1, 18 SO. and are now jn-nding aud entitled to the benefits of the arrears act From this amount (5250,000, 000) may be deducted from ten to V fifleen miiliong for caserf wllrei the Claimant dying, mere is no person I nO.i ilnilrflii 1 mt n..il.t 1 .r,flt1...t ' ' fci..

Aside from the considerations of justice, which may be urged for a ppeedy ncttleirient ofthe claims now on the files of the Tension Office, it is no less itnjortant on the pcore of economy, inasmuch an fully one third of the clerical force of the office 19 now wholly occupied in giving attention to correptiondence with the thousands of claimants! whose case have been on file fori the past eighteen years. j The fact that a sum so enormouu ' mav be expended by the Govern-' I 4 .l.,B,t.n,.1o mi. nrraqra of pensions is an admonition to Con aetea upon witnm inree Hi 1.1 11.

The great temptation to the presentation of fictitious claims afforded by the fact that the average Eum obtained upon each application is ?1,' JI leads me to suggest the propriety of making some special provision for the pre vention of fraud. IXTF.KNAL IMPROVEMENTS. I advise appropriations for such internal improvements as the wis dom of Congress may deem to be of public importance. The necessity of improving tlie navigation of the Mississippi river justifies a special allusion to tnat subject. I suggest the adoption of some measure for the removal of obstructions which now impedes the navigation of that great channel of commerce THE CIVIL SERVICE QUESTION. In my letter accepting the nomi nation for the Vice Presidency I stated that in mv judgment '"no man should be the incumbent of an ollice the duties of which be is for any cause unfit to perform, who is lacking in ability, fidelity or integ rity which a proper administration of "such office demands. This sen timent would doubtless meet with general acquiescence. But opinion has been widely divided upon the wisdom and practicability ofthe va rious reformatory schemes which have been suggested, and of certain proposed regulations governing ap pointments to public office. The efficiency of such regulations has been distrusted, mainly because they have seemed to exalt mere ed ucational and abstract tests above general business capacity and even special fitness for the particular work in hand. It seems to me that the rules that should be applied to the management of the public service may properly conform in tlie main to such as regulate the condition of successful private business. Origi nal appointments should be based upon ascertained fitness. The ten ure of office should be stable. Posi tions of responsibility should so far as practicable be filled by the pro motion of worthy and efficient offi-1 cers. The investigation of all com-; plaints and the punishment of :ill official misconduct should be prompt , and thorough. . " , . .. , ine views expresses, n uie .ore-, ..A. .T I .

The measure which, with slight varia tions in its details, has lately been urged upon the attention of Con gress and the Executive, has as its principal feature the scheme of com petitive examination. Save for cer tain exceptions which need not here be specified, this plan would Becure admission to the service only in its lowest grade, and would according ly demand that all vacancies in high er positions should be filled by pro motion alone. Il these particulars it is in conformity with the existing civil service system in Great Britain, and, indeed, the success which has attended that system in the country of its birth is the strongest argu ment which has been urged for its adoption here. FEATfRKS OF THK . BRITISH SYSTEM. The fact should not, however, be ovorlookcd that there are certain features of the English system which have not generally been received with favor in this country, even among the foremost advocates of civ il service reform. Among them are: 1st, A tenure of office which is sub-; stantially a life tenure ; 2d, A limi-' tation of the maximum age at which an applicant can enter tho service, j whereby all men in middle lite or older are with some exceptions ng- l.llir Ai.l Mf1i.il 5t.l ri.tirir.rr oll.ttv. ance upon going out of office. These three dements are as important f.,,i,.r nf H, .,r.,!,l,.m w f At i, A 1 KJ V V, iv I'll.'llll ar Mil T VI I . . . . the others, lo eliminate them from the Enulish system would effect a most radical change in its theory and practice. The avowed purpose of that system is to induce the edu cated young men of the country to devote their lives to public employ ment by an assurance that having once entered upon it they need nev or liai-o it nnd thnt chat lw tlii recipient ot an annual pension, That this system as an entirety has proved very successful in Great Britain seems te be generally con- ceded, even by those who once op- posed its adoption, to a statute which should incorporate all its es sential features I should feel bound I to give my approval ; but whether it wouia oe lor tne oest interests 01 the public to fix upon an expedient for immediate and extensive appli cation which embraces certain feat ures ofthe English system, hut ex cludes or ignores others of great importance, may be seriously doubt ed, even by those who are impress ed as 1 am myself, with the grave importance of correcting the evils which inhere in the present methods of appointment II, for example, the cmgiish ruKe which shuts out persons alwve the age of twenty-five years from a large number of public employments is not to be made an essential pari of our system, it is questionable whether the attainment of the highest number of marks at a corn jet hive examination should be the criterion by which all applica tions for appointment should !eput to the test : and under similar con ditions it may also be questioned .. . them are sobriety, industry, good sense, good habits, good temper, patience, order, courtesy, tact, self- reliance, manly deference to bu Deri- or officers and manly consideration for inferiors. The abscence of these traits is not supplied by wide knowl- edge of books or by promptitude in answering questions or by ny other they first reach, the hurd-n which quality likely to bo brought to light ' it now bears.

If Congress should deem it advisable at its n ent session to establish competitive tests for admission to the service, no doubts such as have been suggested shall deter me from giving the meas ure my earnest support ; and I ur gently recommend, should there be a failure to pass any other act upon this subject, that an appropriation of $25.(XW per year may be made for the enforcement of section l,7o3 of the Revised Statutes.

In view of the fact that wo furnish so large proportions of the freights of the commercial world and that our shipments are steadily and rapidly increasing, it is a cause of surprise that not only is our navigation in terest diminishing but it is less than when our exports and imports were not half so large as now cither m bulk or value.
