pedIsDcy OF establishing q system for the en-
courOgen ent of immigration. Although this
pource of national wealth sgain h'Wing

great deficiency of lahore in every field OF
industry, especially in agriculture aud in our
mines, as we'll of iron aud coal as of precious

Iojuties unforeseen by the Government, AID
unin tended, may, in come cases, have been in
hcted upon the eubjects or oitzens OF foreign
countries, both at sea and on land, by persoPs
10 the servics Of the United States. As this
Government expects redress from other powers,
when similar IL juries are irh,c cd, by persoos
in their service, upon uitz3ns of the Unitfd
States, we must be prepared to do justiceto 10
foreigners. II the existing Judicial tribunals
are inadequate to this purpose, special court
will be authorized, with power to hear epd de-
eide such claims Of the character referred 10
as may have arisen under tr(a:es and public
law. Conventions for adjusting claims BY joiLt
coz omission have been proposed 10 some Coy
ernments, but 10 defoilVe answer to thee
prOposilions has yet been received from any.
Iu the tonrse of the session | shall problbly
have occasion to req rest you to provide 10
Identification 10 claimants, where DEGREES tf
restitution have been rendered and dsmages
awarded BY tho Admiralty Court, and IN oIfet
cases where this Govern ment may be sckuow
edged to be liable 10 principle, and where the
amount of that liability has been esctrtained
by an informal arbitration. The proper olfi-
Gers Of the Treasury have deemed themseN'e
! required by the laws Of the Unted States upcn
the subject, to demand tax upon the incomes
of foreign COnsuls in this country, while suca
! demand may not be an Indication of public
law, or perhaps of any exi ting trea betwtel
; the United States and foreign country. TIE
expediency of go far modifying the act as 70
exempt from tax the income OF such Consuls
as are not citZsDs Of the United States, deriv-
ed from the emouments of their Office, or from
property roi ei.uated in the United States, is
eubmitted to your serious consideration. I
make this suggestion, upon the ground that
comfy, which ought to be reciprocated, tK-
empIs our CDnsuls In all other countries from
taxation. To the extent thus indicated, the
United States, | think, ought not to be exoep-
tioDaliy ilhb sral to International trade and
commerce.
4 THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT..
Tho operations of the Treasury Department
during the last year have been successfully
conducted. The enactment, by Congress, of q
National Banking Law, has proved o valuable
; support 10 the public credit, and the general
Legislation in relation to loans hes fully answer
ed the expectations OF its favoIsrs. Some
amendments may be required to perfect exists
ing laws; but no change In their principles or
: general scope is believed to be needed. Since
these measures have beer in operation, all de-,
mands on the Treasury, including pay Of the
srmy and navy, have been promptly met and
fully satiefsd. No considerable body OF troops,
it 10 believed, were ever more amply provided,
and more literally and punctually paid, and ID
may be added thaI by DO people were the bDrdens
incident to great war more cheerfnlly borne.

quarters of the current fiscal year Of 1864, will

Ary of the Treasury, to which invite your
