INDIAN TREATIES,
Treaties have been concluded with the Indians |
who, entced into armed opposition TO our Gov |
eminent at the outbreak of the rebellion, have
Internationally submitted to our authority, and

friendly relations. |

During the year ending September 30, 1866, |
eight thousand seven hundred and sixteen pa
tents for useful inventions and designs were is-
sued, and at that date the balance IN the Treas
ury to the credit of the Patent fund was two
hundred and twenty, eight Thousand two hun
dred and ninety-seyen dollars.
MISSISSIPPI LEVERS.
Asa subject upon which depends an immense
amount of the production and commerce Of the
country recommend to Congress such l0gisla-
ton AZ may be necessary for the preservation of
the leyees ofthe Mississippi river. II Is mat
ter of national importance that early steps
should be taken not only TO add to the efficiency
of these barriers against destructive lnundations
but for the removal of all distractions to the
free and safe navigation of that great channel q
trade and commerce.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA,
The District of Columbia, under existing
laws, is not entitled to that representation In
the national councils which, from our earliest
history, has been uniformly accorded to each
territory established from time to time WITHIN
our limits. II maintains peculiar relations to
Congress, TO whom the constitution has granted
the power Of exercising exclusive legislation
over the seat of government Our tellow-cltl-
Zens residing in the District whose interests
are thus cOnfded to the special guardianship OF
Congress- exceed in number of population
several of our territories, and no just reason Is
perceived why delegate of their choice should
not be admitted to a seat in the House of Repre-
sentatives. No mode seems so appropriate and
effeCtua of enabling them TO make known their
peculiar condition and wants, and of securing
the local legislation adapted to them. | there
fore recommend the passage of law authoriH-
ing the electors of the District of Columbia to
choose a delegate, to be allowed the same rights
and privileges as delegate representing a ter
ritory. The increasing enterprise and rapid
progress of improvement in the District are
highly gratifying, and trust that the efforts OF
the municipal authorities to promote the pros
perity of the national metropolis will receive
the efficient and generous cooperation of Con
gress.

egn combinations against our domestic peace
| and SAFETY or our legitimate influence among
| the nations. have been formed or attempted
While sentiments of reconciliation, loyalty, ant
patriotism have increased at home, a more jus
| consideration of our national character anC
rights has been manifested by foreign nations
THE CABLE.
The entire success of the Atlantic telegraph
between the coast of Ireland and the Proyinc
of newfoundland, is an achievement which ha
been justly celebrated in both hemispheres
the opening of an era in the progress O
civilization There is reason to expect tina
equal success will attend, and even greater re
suits follow the enterprise for connecting tn
two continents through the Pacific ocean by tn
projected line of telegraph between kamschat
ka and the Russian possessions in America.
FOREIGN CONyICTs.
The resolution of Congress protesting agans
pardous by foreign governments of persons con
viCted of infamous olenses, on condition {
emigration to our country, has been COmmuni
Gated to the States with which we maintain IN
tercOurse, and the practice, so justly the sui
ject of complaint on our part, has not been r.
newed.
