ing the pas, year are detailed and an es-
tima'e made of the appropriations required
for military purposes in the fiscal year
commencing the 3Oih day Of Jnne, 1866.
The national military force on the LIST Of
May, 1865. numbered l,O00,5l6, men.
1t proposed to reduce the military estab-
lishmrn, to peace footing, comprehend.
ing SO 900 troops Of all arms. organized so
as to admit of IN enlargement by filling
M the ranks, to 80, 600. if the circumstan.
Is of the country should require nm aug
mentation of the army. The volunteer
force has already been reduced by the
discharge from service Of over 500, 900
troops, and the Department is proceeding
rapidly in the work Of further reduction.
The war estimates are reduced from $5l6,
24O,l81 to $338l4,46l, which amount,
in tho opinion Of the Department. is ade.
aua'e for peace establishment. The
measures Of retrenchmpnt in each Bureau
and branch of the service exhibit diligent
economy worthy Of commentator. Ref
erence is ulso made in the report to the
necessity of providing for uniform mill
tia system, ard to the propriety Of making
suitable provision for wounded aud disa.
bled officers AMI soldiers.
81 FHB REVENUE AND FINANCES.
The revenue system of the country is a
subject of vital interest to its honor and
prosperity, and should command the earn
est consideration Of Congress. The Sec
retary of the Treasury will lay before you
fill and detailed report Of the receipts and
disbursements Of the last fiscal year. of the
probable receipts and expenditures for the
other three quarters and the estimate for
the year following the 30th of June. 1866.
Knight content my self with reference to
that report, in which you will find all the
information required for your deliberations
and decisions; but the paramount import
ance of the subject 80 presses itself on my
own mind that l cannot but lay before
you my views of the measures which are
required for the good character. and
nigh: almost say, for the existence Of this
people. The fife Of a republic lies certain.
" in the energy, virtue and intelligence Of
its citizens, but It is equally trne that a
good revenue system is the life Of an or.
ganizrd Government. meet you at a
time when the nation has voluntarily bur-
deped itself with debt unprecedented in
our annals. Vast as is its amount, il
fades away into nothing when compared
with the countless blessings that will be
conferred upon onr nations life. Now. on
The first occasion of the meeting of Con-
grsss since the return Of peace. it is Of the
utmost importance to inaugurate just
policy which shall at once BE- put in notion
and which shall commend Itself TO those
who come after 10 for its continuance.
We must aim At nothing less than q com.
plete placement Of the financial evils that

We must sndeavor TO apply the earliest
remedy to the drranged state Of the euren-

people. shall inn~disseiy besia tn effect .
