i
ment in American ship building
during the past year, and hopes
for a continuance of it In regard
to the problem of cheap transpor-
tation, he refers to rivers and Ca
nails, aud suggests whether it
would not be wise craftsmanship |
to pledge to the States that own
these canals that if they will en-
large them the general govern
ment will look after and keep in
navigable order the great public
highways with which these canals
connect, to-wit: The Hudson Riv-
er and the st. Clair Flats, and the
Illinois and Mississippi Rivers.
He recommends a government ex-
ploration of the upper Amazon
River and its tributaries, and a re-
vision and modification OF the tar
lift laws. He endorses the recon-
mendation of the Postmaster Gen
eral for the establishment of a
postoffice savings department,and
invites the consideration of Con-
gress to get the use of a postal tel
egraph. He recommends legisla-
ton in regard to the judicial pro-
ceedings in Utah, and also in re-
gard to the bankrupt law, which
he regards as productive of more
evil than good, and if not repealed
it should be modified. He calls
attention TO the immense aggre-
gate Of claims against the govern
ment, many of them growing out
of the rebellion and not a few of
them fabricated and supported by
false testimony. He recommends
that persons having claims be re-
quired TO present them at an early
period, and that the personal at,
tendance of witnesses be required
by the Court of Claims, etc. In re.
! gard to the Indian question he
! recommends a territorial form OF
government for the Indian Terri.
tory. He also recommends such
action as will permit the settle
ment of body of Russian colon
lists on the public lands, and en-
dorses the proposition for the cen
sus in 1875. He eulogises the
Washington Board of Public
!, Works, and speaks of the great
! Improvement of the city under the

The Presidents Message.

u
read. 1t opens by a reference to
the financial crisis, the Changers
movement and the Virginius
matter, which it says is in course
of negotiation, and is likely to be
amicably and honorably arranged.
1t refers to the Vienna Exposition,
which was creditable to the ad-
vance of the United States, to the
reception of the Western Ambas-
sailors by the Emperor of China,
and to the need of further legisla-
ten to suppress the cOolie trade.
1t recommends a commissioner
for the purpose of auditing and
determining the amount to be paid
for losses caused by the Confeder-
ate privateers. 1t refers to the
mixed commission for determining
claims between British subjects
and American ditizens, and asks
for an appropriation TO pay the
amount Of decisions against the
United States. II recommends a
law creating a special court or
three judges to hear all claims Of
aliens against the United States,
arising out of acts committed
against their persons and property
during the instruction. 1t asks
the decision of Congress upon the
subject of the action OF the Otto
: man and Egyptian governments,
relieving foreign consuls of julio
? ial powers. The President trans,
mitted the application of the Re,
, public of Santo Domingo, that the
= United States shall exercise a
= protectorate over that republic
l. The message discusses at length
the question of the right of expat
ration, particularly as to citizens
of the United States residing per.
manently abroad with their famil
les, and suggests OIL the subject il
! refers to the establishment OF {
Republic in Spain, and to the eft

to abolish slavery in Cuba, and il

{ that evil influence might soon b
