Departments Of the Interior.

The attention Of Congress is invited 10
the report Of the Secretary of the Interior.
and to the legislation asked for by him.
The domestic interests Of the people are
more Intimately connected with this de-
partment than with either of the other de-
partments Of the Government. Its duties
have been added to from time to time.
until they have become so onerous that,
without the most perfect system and order,
II will be impossible for any Secretary of
the Interior to keep trace Of all the official
transactions having his sanction and done
in his name, and for which be is held per-
sonally responsible.
HOmesteads for Indians.
The policy adopted for the management
OF Indian Affairs, known as the peace poll
cy, has been adhered to with beneficial re-
suits. 1t is hoped that few years more
viii relieve our frontiers Of Indian depre-
datiOnS. commend the recommendation
OF the Secretary for the extension of the
homestead laws to the Indians, and for
some sort Of territorial government for the
Indian Territory. A great majority Of the
Indians occupying this Territory are be-
heved to be incapable Of maintaining their
rights against the more civilized and en-
lightened men. Any territorial form Of
government given them, therefore, should
protect them in their homes and property |
Tor period of az least twenty years, and |
before its final adoption should be ratified |
oy majority Of those affected.
The report Of the Secretary Of the In
'erior, herewith attached, gives much in

The consolidation of government arsen-
ais; mileage TO officers travelling under or
ders; the exemption ofmoney received from
the sale Of subsistence stores from being
converted into the treasury; the use of ap-
preparations for the purpose of subsistence
stores, without waiting for the beginning
of the fiscal year for which the appTopria-
ton is made; for additional appropriations
for the collection of torpedo material; for
increased appropriations for the mandfac-
tuTe Of arms; for relieving the various
States for Indebtedness for arms charged to
them during the rebellion; for dropping Of
fcers from the rolls of the army without
trial for the ofense of drawing pay mere
than once for the same period; for the dis
couragement Of the plan to pay soldiers by
checks, and for the establishment of. pro
of Rhetoric and English Litera
ture at West Point.
The reasons for the recommendations
are obvious and are set forth in the report
attached. 1 also recommend that the status
Of staff corps of the army be fixed, where
his has not already been done, so that pro-
motions may be made and vacancies filled,
IS they occur in each grade when reduced
below the number TO be fixed by law. The |
necessity for such legislation is specially

The Army.

The report of the Secretary of War, here
with attached, and forming part ofthism
sage, gives all the information concerning
all the operations, wants and necessities,
and contains many suggestions and recon-
mendations which l commend to your
special attention. There is no class of gov
eminent employees who are harder worked
than the armyI officers and men, none who
perform their tasks more cheerully and
more efficiently, and under circumstances
of greater privation and hardships. Legis-
lation is desired to render more efficient this
branch ofthe public service. ALI the recon-
mendations of the Secretary Of War re-
gard as judicious, and especially commend
to your attention the following:
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1874-12-08

mend the restoration of this bounty to all
such. The number Of persons whose
names would be restored to the list Of pen
sioners is not large. They are old persons
who could have taken no part in the re-
beiliOn, and the services for which they
were awarded pensions were in defence Of
the whole country.
The Centennial.
The report of the Commissioners Of Ag-
rieulture, herewith, contains suggestions Of
much interest to the general public, and
refers to the approaching Centennial, and
the part his department is ready to take in
it. l feel that the nation at large is inter-
ested in having this exposition a success,
and commend TO Congress such action as
will secure a greater general interest In it.
Already many foreign nations have sig
nihed their intention to be represented at
it. 1t may be expected that every civilized
nation will be represented.
The Civil Service Sham.
The rules adopted to improve the civil
service Of the Government, have been adj
hered to as closely as mas been practicable
with the opposition with which they meet.
The effect, l believe, has been beneficial on
the whole, and has tended to the elevation
Of the service, but il is impracticable to
maintain them without the direct and posi-
tive support Of Congress. Generally the
support which this reform receives is from
those who give it their support only to find
fault.
That the rules are apparently departed
from in removals from Office without pre-
ferring charges against the parties removed.
are frequently cited as departures from the
rules adopted, and the retention Of those
against whom charges ara made by ire
sponsible persons and without good grounds,
is also often condemned as q violation of
them. Under these circumstances, there
fore, announce that il Congress adjourns
without positive legislation on the subject
of civil service reform, will regard such
action as disapproval of the system and
viii abandon it, except 50 far as 70 require
examinations for certain appointees 10 de-
termine their fitness. Competitive exam
nations will be abandoned. The gentle
men who have given their services without
as members Of the board to
devise rules and regulations for the govern
ment Of the civil service Of the country,
have shown much zeal and earnestnees in
their work, and to them, as we'll as myself,
it will be source Of modification if it is |
to be thrown away. But repeat that il is
to carry the system to a sue
ceSsful issue without general approval and |
and positive law to support it.

1t has been deemed advisable to exercise

During the past year nothing has oc-
CURED to disturb the general, friendly and
cordial relations Of the United States with
other powers. The correspondence sub
mitted herewith between this Government
and its diplomatic representatives in other
countries, show a satisfactory condition of
all questions between the United States
and the most of those countries, and, with
a few exceptions, to which reference is
hereafter made, the absence Of any points
Of difference to be adjusted.

China.

Our relations with China continue to be
friendly. During the past year fear of hos
tilities between China and Japan, growing
out of the landing Of an armed force upon
the island Of FOrmOSa by the latter, has oc-
casiOned uneasiness. 1t is earnestly hoped.
however, the difficulties arising from this
cause viii be adjusted, and that the ad-
vance of civilization in those empires may
not be retarded by a state Of war.
In consequence Of the part taken by GER
tain citizens Of the United States in this
expedition, our representatives in those
countries have been instructed to impress
upon the governments of China and japan
the firm intention Of this country to main
tain strict neutrality in the event Of hostili-
ties, and carefully prevent any infraction
