continued.
The condition of marine hospitals has
been improved during the past year. This
result is largely due to DR.. j. S. Billings, of
the Surgeon Generals Office, who has
visited nearly all of them, and through
whose advice many important changes have
been made. No appointment has yet been
made for the superintendent. Under the
act OF last session, authority therein was
granted to appoint. A superintendent is
desirable, although the salary does appear
such an alteration of the law as will permit
the President to detail a surgeon of the
army or navy to perform the duty of super
intendent without any addition to his pay
other than his necessary travelling expenses
With such authority the department could
have the benefit of the services of DR.. Bill
lings, or some other competent surgeon,
with less expense than would be involved
in an appointment. Even with the present
the country-New York, New Orleans, San
Francisco, Baltimore and Philadelphia
without hospital accommodations, and pro-
vision is made for the patients by contract
with hospitals or private parties.
The War Department is in possession of
a very desirable hospital at New Orleans,
known as the Sedgwick Hospital, and
earnestly recommend the passage OF an act
by which the building may be transferred
to the Treasury Department for marine
hospital, and an appropriation made for the
purchase of the land upon which it stands.
At the last session the attention of Con-
gress was called to the subject of transfer
ring David's Island, at New York, from the
War Department to the. Treasury Depart
ment, for the establishment of marine
hospital. This recommendation is now re-
spectfully renewed.
In compliance with act Of July l, 1870, in
reference to tho seal fsheries, proposals.

Of the government demand a change, and q
change must be made without hearing of
the parties concerned.
may be warranted in saying in this con-
nection that the evil Of Office seeking,
although great, is probably exagger,
ated in the public mind. 1t is true there
are more applications for appointment to
office in this department than can be met,
but the number of applicants who are well
qualified and who could pass any proper ex-
animation is not unusually very large. Out
side Of the department and in several States
and districts Of the country the number of
applicants for local services does not often
exceed three or four to each Office, and Occa-
sionally there are no more than two who
are really so presented. It is to be consid-
cred in connection with the appointment.
In justification of the present tenure and as
proper recognition Of the services of Off
GERS and clerks employed in this depart
ment, express the opinion that the bust
ness upon the whole is not only done in a
satisfactory manner, but that it will COM
pare in accuracy and efficiency with the
business Of the country generally, which is
carried on by corporations or individuals.
In my annual report Of December last, 1
advised a continuance of the existing sys-
such q proposed loan. The circumstance
that war was declared between France and
Prussia, simultaneously with the passage of
the loan bill, put it out of the power Of the
department to make negotiations, as had
been expected. The large revenue, how
ever, of the government continuing without
material abatement till the present time,
improved the credit of the country and en-
ab1ed the Treasury Department, by weekly
purchases, to reduce the amount Of surplus
bonds offered for sale, and contributed to

expressed the opinion that the settled policy
ofthe country should contemplate revenue

the government, the payment Of the interest

enumerated as applicable to this branch Of
the service.
RECEIPTS OF CUSTOMS.
From 1856 to 1860 inclusive, the total re-
ceipts from customs were about $272, OOO, 900,
and expenses 0fc0llecti0n were $l5, N9 ,OOV or
at the rate of more than five and half per
1870, they were tl94, 538,374 A and expenses
1891 ,2ll 1868, or not exceeding three land
half per cent. From 1856 to 1860 the reve-
nue. collected did not exceed an average Of
$5O,OOO, O0Oj per year, and the temptation to
smuggling and fraud was much less than it
is at tho present time.
SMUGGLING.
At the principal importing cities of the
country it is necessary to employ large
fOrcc for tho protection of wharves and
water lines within or near such cities. 1t is
also necessary to guard against smuggling
by the presence of the several officers upon
and around steamers and other vessels i'm
porting large quantities Of goods while en-
also apparent that our extensive lines of
coast on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and
the Gulf Of Mexico, everywhere furnishing
opportunities for the introduction of goods
in violation of the revenue law, requires the
pf6e6nce of large number of skillfM and
trust korthy persons. The acquisition of
Alaska, the establishment of interior ports
