Sin February last, with my approval
Sand the approval Of the Secretary of
Athe Interior. and the suggestions
Ncontained in said communication
bwere embraced in bill that was re-
&ported to the House by the Com
Smittee on Patents ut the last session
&The subject of the reorganization OF
@the Patent Office, as contemplated
xby the bill referred to, is of such
Simportance to the industrial interests
lSof the country that commend it to
&the attention of Congress. The
ACommissioner also treats of the sub.
Nject of the separation Of the Paten,
EOflice from the Department OF the
& EInterior. The subject is also em.
Ebraced in the bill heretofore referred
kto. The Commissioner complains o.
Sthe want of room for model gal.
Elery, and for working force and
Mnecessary files for tho Offi,e. 1t is
Rimpossible to transact the business oi
kthe Office properly without more
& room in which to arrange articles
3and drawings that must be consult.
Ned hourly in the transactions of bust
kness. The whole of the Patent
NOffice building will be soon needed il
lit is not already, for the accommo
Edetion of the business III the Pate nj
EOffice.
s. THE CARRYING TRADE.
q The report of The Secretary of the
Treasury will show an alarming fall.
Hing off of our carrying trade for thu
Elast ten or twelve years. and even fol-
the past year. do not believe tn,
EPublic Treasury can be better expen
Mded in the interest Of the whole
kpeople, then in trying to recover tn,
IS ecarrying trade. An expenditure of ,
kfew million dollars annually for tn,
Enext five years, if it would restore L
Jus our proportion OF the carryin.
Htrade of the world, would be prof
Htably expended. The price OF labor
,kin Earope has so much enhanced will
Hin the last few years, that the cost o
L Ebuilding and operating ocean steamer,
ain the United States is not so mucl
Hgreater than in Europe, and / believ,
Ethe time has arrived for Congress I,
Htake this subject into serious consider
cation.
TILE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
"a 4 detailed statement of the dis
Hbursements through the Departm en-
Eof Justice, will be furnished by tn,
,Ereport of the Attorney General, ane
Sthough these have been somewhat in
Ecreased by the recent act Of Congress
ato enforce the right of citizens of TIN
EUuited States To vote in the severa
Estate of the Union, aud to enforc,
Ethe provisions OF the Fourteentl
n amendment 10 the Constitution o

-Ements there to, cannot question tn
lnecessity and salutory effect of tn,
aEcnactments.

Atogether in jome localities TO depriy
Mothers OF the right guaranteed then
Eby the constitution OF the Unite,
EStates. and TO that end have commit
fHted deeds of violence; bat the detec

apersons have tended greatly 10 th
sErepression of such disorders. | j,
knot doubt that a great majority, how
Eever, are in favor of the full enjoy
Ement by all classes of persons of thos'
Erights To which they are entitled un
g1cr the constitution and laws, and
sEinvoke the aid and influence of al
,Sgood citizens TO prevent organization
Ewhose objects are by unlawful mean

Gam disposed, SO far as my sense @
.xjustice will permit. to give to thes

.Hbut my action thereon is not to b
aconstrued as indicating any ceasin
hin my determination to enforce will
Evigor such acts so long as the cor
aspiracies and combinations therein

: ztry. 1t is much to be regretted, ant
Wis regretted by no one more than my
fNself, that the necessity has ever ex
,kisted to execute the enforcement act
;mNo one can desire more than I tina
yEthe necessity for applying it may neve
