Rob't J. Walker on our National Finances.

The Hon. Robert J. Walker has written
a long and able letter on the subject of
ovr national finances, looking to the re-
sumption Of specie payments. He opposes
the present system of the secretary of the
treasury, and advocates foreign loan of
$250,000.000. He contends that this loan
would be readily taken in Germany, as
was that of 1868 4-that Count Bismarck
will aid the measure, ,as he is great friend
of American unity, and that the German
Bankers, having studied our resources, will
readily take it at less rates of interest than
it could possibly be sold for he@. He op
poses any considerable payments at pres
ent on the national debt, and contends that
the resumption of specie payments would
restore the prosperity of the country, and
cause an immediate and immense reduction
in taxation. This however, will be secured
only by rigid economy our national expcn-
ses. With this economy onr national ex-
penditures could be reduced to 44,OOO,-
600, which he proposes to derive from
three sources
This revenue of S244, 100000 a year as
a maxim, would derive from three sourc.
es alone:
81. BY tariff By revenue.
so. BY an excise on wines, malt, and
spiritous liquors and tobacco; abolishing
all other internal taxation.
"3..By tax on our national banks, bas.
ed upon just and fair equivalents, remem-
beriLg how essential they are to the pros
perity of the country, and that we must
not drive them into liquidation by unfair
and unusual taxation, and thus revive the
wretched State bank system"

NATURALIZED CITIZENS.
The annexation of many small German
States to Prussia, and the reorganization
of that country under a new and liberal
constitution, have induced me to renew the
effort to obtain just and prompt settlement
of the long vexed question concerning the
claims of foreign States for military service
from their subjects naturalized in the United
States.
In connection with this subject the atten-
ton of Congress Is respectfully called to a
singular and embarrassing conflict o: laws.
The Executive Department of this Govern,
ment has hitherto uniformly held, as it now
holds, that naturalization in conformity with
the Constitution and laws of the United
States absoves the recipient from bis native
allegiance. The Courts of Great Britain
hold that allegiance to the British Crown
/ is indefeasibe, and is not absolved by our
laws of naturalization. British Judges cite
Court and law authorities ofthe United
States IN suppot of that theory against the
position held by the Executive authority of
the United States. This conflict perplexes
the public mind concerning the rights of
naturalized citizens, and impairs the nation
al authority abroad. | called attention to
this subject in my last annual message, and
now again respectfully appeal to Congress
to declare the national will unmis takably
upon this important question.

dsaffeeted bands and select for them reservations

hostile tribes. These objects we'll the material
