For the operations of the army in the past
year, the expense of maintaining it, the esti-
mates for the ensuing year, and continuing sea
cost and other Improvements, conducted under
the supervision of the War Department,
refer you TO the accompanying report Of the
Secretary of War. I call your attention to the
provisions of the act OF Congress, approved
March 3, 1869, which discontinues promotions
in the staff corps of the army until provided
for by law. 1 recommend that the number of
officers in each grade of staff corps be fxed, and
that whenever the number in any one grade
falls below the number so fixed, that the va
cancy may be filed by promotion from the
grade below. Also, recommend that when
the Office of Chief Of Corps becomes vacant, it
may be filed by selection from the corps in
which the vacancy occurs.

THE CURRENCY QUESTION

Continued fluctuations in the value of gold,
compared with the national currency, has a
most damaging effect upon the increase and
development of the country in keeping prices
of all articles necessary in every day life. It
fosters spirit of grumbling, prejudicial alike
to the national morals and national finances.
If the question can be met SO as to secure a
fixed value to currency, that value constantly
and uniformly approaching par with specie, a
very desirable object will be gained.

SPANISH CLAIMS.

The Forty-frst Congress, at its third se'
sion, made an appropriation for the organiza-
ton of mixed commission for adiudicating
upon the claims of citizens of the United
States against Spain, growing out Of the In
sarrection in Spain. That Commission has
since been or yanized. I transmit herewith the
correspondence relating to its formation and
its jurisdiction. 1t is to be hoped that this
commission will afford the claimants a COM
plete remedy for their injuries.
1t has been made the agreeable duty of the
United States to preside over a conference al
Washington between the plenipotentiaTies Of
Spain and the allied South America Repub-
lies, which has resulted in an armistice, with
the reasonable assurance of permanent peace

Under the provisions of the act of
Congress approved February 21st,
1872 territorial government was
organized in the District of Colum-
bia. The results have thus far fully
realized the expectations of its ad-
voeates. Under the direction of the
territorial Officers, system of i'm
provements has been inaugurated, by
means of which Washington is rap
idly becoming a city worthy of the
Nations Capitol. The citizens of
the District having voluntarily taxed
themselves to 8 large amount, for the
purpose of contributing to the adj
vancement of the seat of govern
ment, recommend liberal appropri-
tions on the part of Congress, in or
der that the Government may bear
its just share of the expense ofcarry-
ing out judicious system of i'm
prOVements.

The resumption of diplomatic relations De-
tween France and Germany have enabled NJ g
to give directions for the withdrawal OF the
protection extended to Germans in France Dy
the Diplomatic and consular representation Oh
the United States in that country. 1t Is Just
to add, that the delicate duty Of this protec-
ton has been performed by the Minister ana
the Consul General at Paris, and the various
Consuls in France, under the supervision OF
the latter, with great kindness as well as with
prudence and tact. Their course has received
the eommendation of the German goVernment
and has wounded no susceptibility OF the
French. The government Of the Emperor OF
Germany continues to manifest friendly
feeling toward the United States, and desire
to harmonic with the moderate and Just pol-
cy which this government maintains In lls
relations with Asiatic powers as well as with
the South American Republics. l have given
assurance that the friendly feelings OF that
government are fully shared by the United
States. The ratification of the consular and
naturalization connections with the Austro-
Hungary government have been exchanged.
I have been officially informed of the annexa-
ton Of the States of the Church 70 the king
dom of Italy and the removal of that kingdom
TO Rome. In conformity with the established
policy of the United States. I have recog-
nized this change. The ratification of the new
treaty of commerce between the United States
and Italy have been exchanged; the two pow
ers have agreed in their treaty that property
at sea shall be exempt from capture in case Of
war between the two powers. The United
States have spared no opportunity Of lncor-
porating this rule into the obligations OF na-

KU-KLUX.

The condition of the Southern
States is unhappily such, that all
true patriotic citizens would like to
see social ostracism for opinions
sake abolished. Personal violence
or threats, towards persons enter
tanning political views opposed to
those entertained by the majority OF
the old citizens, prevents immigra-
ton and the flow Of much needed
capital into the States lately in re-
bellion. 1t will be a happy condi-
tion of the country, when the old
citizens of those States will take an
interest in public affairs, promulgate
ideas honesty obtained, vote for men
representing their views, and permit
the same freedom of expression and
ballot in those entertaining different
political convictions.

extent Of eighty-six millions fifty-seven thous-
and one hundred and twenty-six dollars and
eighty cents during the year, and by the ne
gotiations of national bonds at lower rate of
interest, the interest on the public debt has
been so far diminished that now the sum to be
raised for interest account is nearly seventeen
million dollars less than on the fist of March,
1869. 1t was highly desirable that this rapid
elimination should take place, both to
strengthen the credit of the country and to
convince its citizens Of their entire ability to
meet every dollar of liability without bank
rupting them. But, in view of the resources
Of the country, its increasing ability to meet
large demands, and the amout already paid, it
is not desirable that the present resources Of
the country should continue to be taxed in
order to keep up this rapid payment. I there
fore recommend a modification of the tariff
and international tax laws I recommend that
all taxes from Internal sources be abolished,
except upon spirituous, vinous, and malt
liquors, and tobacco in its various forms, from
stamp. In re-adjusting the tariff, l suggest
that careful estimate be made Of the amount
of surplus revenue collected under the present
laws, after providing for the current expenses
of the government, the interest account, and
sinking fund; and that this surplus be re-
duced in such manner as to afford the greatest
relief to the greatest number. There are
many articles not produced at home, such as
medicines, compounds, &C., g., from which
very little revenue is derived, but which enter
into general use. All such articles recon-
mend it TO be placed on the free list, Should
further reduction prove advisable, would
then recommend it be made upon those artl-
cles which can bear it without disturbing
home production or reducing wages of Ameri-
can labor. have not entered into figures, bs-
cause to do so would be to repeat all that is
laid before you in the report of the Secretary

The present laws for collecting revenues,
pay collectors of customs small salaries but
provide for shares in all seizures, which, at the
principal ports of entry, particularly, raise the
compensation of these officials to large sum.
1t has always seemed to me that this system
must at times work peniciously. 1t holds out
an inducement to dishonest men, should such
get possession of those Offices, to be lax in their
scrutiny of goods entered, to enable them
finally to make large seizures. Your attention
is repectfullY invited to this subject.

PROTECTION OF IMMIGRANTS.

The number of immigrants, ignor-
ant of our laws and habits coming
into our country annually, has be-
come so great and the impositions
practiced upon them so numerous
and fragrant, that I Isuggest Congress
sional action for their protection.
1t seems to me a fair subject of leg
islation by Congress. I cannot now
state as fully as 1 desire the nature
Of the complaints made by immi-
grants of the treatment they receive,
but will endeavor to do so during
the session of Congress; particularly
if the subject should receive your
attention.

THE CHICAGO FIRE.

By the great fire in Chicago, the
most important of the government
buildings in that city were con-
sumed. Those burned had already
become inadequate to the wants of
the government in that growing city;
and, looking to the future, were to-
tally inadequate. I recommend,
therefore, that an appropriation be
made Immediately to purchase the
remainder of the square on which
the burneNbuildings stood, provided
it can be purchased at fair valua-
ton, and provided the Legislature
of Illinois will pass a law authoriz-
ing its condemnation for govern
ment purpose, also, an appropriation
of as much money as can properly
be expended towards the erection of
new buildings during this fiscal
year.

TooTHAcHE IN DUMB ANNALS
1T must be dreadful when poor
dumb animalssufer from toothache
Many have read how Chunee, the
elephant at the old Exeter Change
in England, went mad from it !;
and it is popularity supposed that
il is often a cause of madness in
dogs, and / really think it very
probable. The poor brutes seek
the sympathy and aid of their
masters; for ] have known poor
old cat come moaning, time after
time, until it drew attention to its
teeth. A surgeon who was visit
ing at the house frat suggested
tie cause of the animals discom.
iort-and one person more skilled
than the others, possibly, in the
management of our dumb com.
panions, drew a tooth which was
rather loose, and at once relieved
the poor creature.
