and great prejudices have heretofor
arisen out Of this abuse. 1t Is, there
fore, submitted to your careful consid
Grafton. 1t might be advisable to fix
limit beyond which no citizen of th
United States residing abroad ma,
claim the, interposition of his govern
ment. The right of suffrage has oftel
been ASSUMED and exercised by alien
under pretenees of naturalization, wbicl
they have disavowed when drafted int
the military service. l submit the ex
pedicncy of such an amendment of tn
laws as will make the fact of voting al
este ppal against any plea of exemption
I Fl ON military service, or other civil oh
legation, on grounds of alienage.
In common with other Western.
!, Powers our relations with Japan have
been brought into serious leopard,
through the perverse opposition Of tht
hereditary aristocracy of the Empire
to the enlightened and liberal policy o.
the Tycoon, designing to bring the
country into the society of nations.-
1t is to be hoped, although not will
confidence, that these difficulties may
be peacefully overcome. / ask YOU
attention to the minister residing there
for the damages he sustained in the
destruction by fires of the residence o
tn. legation OF Yeddo. ee =
Satisfactory arrangements have beer
made with the Emperor Of Russia
which it ia believed will result in effect
ing a continuous line of telegraph
through that Empire from our Pacific
coast. recommend to your favora
bic consideration the subject of an in.
ternational telegraph across the Allan.
tic Ocean, and also a telegraph be-
tween this capitol and the national forts
along the Atlantic seaboard and the
Cult of Mexico. Such conn, c,ions es-
tablished, with any reasonable outlay,
would be economical as well as etftc-
tive aids to diplomatic, military and
naval service.
The consular system of the United
States under the enactments OF the last
Congress, begins to be sell-sustainiDg,
and there is reason to hope that it may
become entirely so with the increase Of
trade, which will ensue whenever peace
is restored. Our Ministers abroad
have been faithful in defending Ameri-
can rights In protecting our CONNER
cial interests our Consuls have necessa-
rily had to encounter encreased labors
and responsibilities growing out OF the
war. These they have, for the most
part, met and discharged with zeal
and efficiency. This acknowledge
ment justly includes the Consuls who,
residing in Morocco, Egypt, China,
anu other central countries, are charg-
ed with complications and extraordina-
ry powers. ".
The condition ofthe several organi-
zed territories is generally satisfactory,
although the Indian disturbances in
New Mexico have not been entirely
suppressed. The mineral resources OF
Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, New Mexi-
co and Arizona, are proving tar richer
than heretofore understood. [ lay be-
tore you communication on this sub
ject from the Governor of New Mexi-
CO.
again submit to your consideration
the eXpedieEcy of establishing sys-
TEN for the encouragement of emigra-
tion, although this source of national
wealth is flowing with greater freedom
than for several years before the insur-
rect,on occurred. There is still a
great deficiency of laborers III every
field of industry, especially in agricul.
lure, and in our zines, as well OF iron
and coal as of precious metals, while
demand for labor is thus increased here
tens OF thousands Of persons, destitute
of renumerative occupations, are
lhronging our foreign cousulates and
offering to emigrate TO the United
States, if essential but very cheep as
sistance can be afforded them.
1t is easy to see that under the sharp
discipline Of civil war the nation is be-
ginning anew lie, and this noble et-
fort demands the aid and ought to re.
ceive the attention and support OF the
Government. Injuries unforeseen by
the Government and unintended, may
in some cases have been inflicted upon
the subjects or citizens OF foreign coun-
tries both at sea aud on land, by per-
sons in the service ofthe United States,
and as this Government expects re-
dress from other powers when sill. liar in
juries are inflicted by persons in their
service upon artisans OF the United
States, we must be prepared to do JUS
tice to foreigners. If existing judicial
tribunals are inadequate to the pur-
pose, special court may be autbori-
zed with power to hear and decide such
claims of the character referred to, as
may have arisen under treaties and
public law. Conventions tor adjusting
Claims by your commission, have been
profered to some Governments, but
no definite answer to the proposition
has yet been received from any.
The operations of the Treasury du-
ring the last year have been successful
ly conducted. The enactment by Con.
gress OF National Banking Law has
proved valuable support to the public
credit. and the general Legislation in
relation to loans has fully answered the
expectations of its favorers. Some
amendments may be required to per-
feet existing laws, bat no change in
their principles'er general SCOPE is be.
loved to be needed. Since these meas.
ures have been in operation all de.
mands on the Treasury, including pay
Of the army and navy, have been
promptly met and fully satisfied. No
considerable body OF troops, it is be.
lieved, we've ever more amply provis-
ioned, more literally and punOtually
