tsntion Of the constitution in it's specihca
tion Of inability for the discharge
of the powers and duties Of the said Office" is
one of the contingencies which calls the vice
president to the exercise of the presidential
functions. Is the inability limited in its ma
ture to long continued intellectual incapacity.
or has it q broader import? What
must be its extent and duration? How must
its existence be established? Has the president,
whose inability is the subject of inquiry,
any voice in determining whether or not it OK
lists? Or is the decision of that momentous
and delicate question confded to the vice
president? Or is it contemplated by the con-
stitution that congress should provide by law
precisely what should constitute inability, and
bow, aud by what tribunal or author
ity it should be ascertained!
If the inability proves to be temporary In ma
ture. and during its continuance the vice
president lawfully exercises the functions of
the executive, by what tenure does he hold his
Office? Does he continue as president for the
remainder of the four years term, or would
cease in the interval, be empowered to re-
sumo his Office; and if, having such equa.
authority, he should exercise it, would
the vice president be thereupon empowered to
resume his powers and duties as such? !

sideration. Deeply impressed with the gravity

pectedly devolved upon me, it will be my con-
slant purpose to cooperate with you i'll such

PENSIONS.
IFNNIT NS.
rr>yprp lNp ANyoIrNT pE ~ sIngc

NUMBER AND AMOUNT OF CLAIMS
Vt appears from the report of the commits
sioner of PENSIONS that since 1860, 7S9, 063
original pension claims have been filed; $780,
$40 of these have been allowed and inscribed
on the pension roll; ~, $50 have been re-
jected and abandoned, being Is per
cent of the whole number of
claims settled. There are now pending
for settlement 265, SIS original pension
claims, 2l2, O4O of which were filed prior to
July l, 1886. These, when allowed, will IN
volve the payment of arrears from the date of
discharge in case of an invalid, and from date
of death or termination of prior right On all
other cases, from all the data obtainable,
1t is estimated that Is per cent of
the number of claims now pending
will be rejected or abandoned. This would
show the probable rejection of "a, O4O cases,
and the probable admission Of 1913, 900 claims,
all of which involve the payment of arrears of
pensions. With the present force employed.
the number of adjudications remaining the
number of claims 193, OOO could be
acted upon in a period of six years, and taking
January l. 1854, as a near period from which
to estimate in each case the average amount OF
arrears. it is found that everv case allowed
the sum OF $3.50. Multiplying this amount
by the whole number of prob
able admissions gives $25O,O0O, 900
as the sum required for the first payment
This represents the sum which must be paid
upon claims which were filed before July l.,
1880, and now are pending and entitled to
the benefit of arrears. From this amount
$3.50, 100000 may be deducted from $10,-
100000 to Sis, 900, 900 for cases where the
claimant dying there is no person who under
the law would be entitled to succeed to the
pension, leaving 1926, 600, 900 of the probable
amount to be paid. In these estimates no &C
count has been taken of the 80, 800 cases filed
since June so, 1880, and now pending, which
must receive attention of current business,
but which does not involve the payment of any
arrears beyond the date of filing the claim.
Of this number it is estimated that
Sc per cent will be allowed As has
been stated, with the present force
of the pension bureau (675 clerks) it is esti-
mated that it will take six years to dispose of
the claims pending. 1t is stated by the COM
missioner Of pensions that by an addition of
$50 clerks, increasing the adjudicating force
rather than the mechanical double the amount
of work could be accomplished, so that these
in two years. Aside from the
considerations of justice which ma y
be urged for a speedy settlement of the claims
now on file in the pension Office, it is no less
important on the score of economy lnasmuch
that fully thirteen of the clerical force of the
Office are now actually occupied in giving at.
tentlon to correspondence with the thousand
complainants whose cases have been filed for
| the past eighteen years.

THE NAVY.
The report of the secretary of the navy ex-
hibits the condition of that branch of the
service and presents valuable suggestions for
its Improvement l call your special
attention also to the appended report of the
advisory board which was convened to
devise suitable measures for increasing the
efficiency of the navy, and in particular
to the report as to the character and number
of vessels necessary to place 1t upon footing
commensurate with the necessities of the gov
ernment l cannot too strongly urge upon You
my conviction that every consideration OF
national safety, economy ana honor lmpera-
hvey demand thorough rehabilitation of
that compliance with the suggestion of the head
of the department and of the advisory board
involves large expenditure of the public
moneys l earnestly recommend such
appropriation as will accomplish an
end which seems so desirable Moth
ing can be more inconsistent with
true public economy than withholding means
necessary to accomplish objects intrusted by
the constitution to the national legislature.
One of these objects. and one which ID OF
paramount importance, is declared by our
fundamental law TO be the provision for com
mon defense" Surely nothing more essential 70
the defeuse of the United States and all our
people than the efficiency of
OUR NAVY.
We have for many years maintained with
foreign governments the relations of honorable
peace, and that such relations may be perma-
nent is desired by every patriotic citizen of the
republic; but if read the teachings
of history we shall not forget that In
the life of every nation emergencies
may arise when resort to arms can
alone save it from dishouor. No danger from
abroad now threatens the people, nor have we
any cause to distrust the friendly professions
of other governments; but for avoiding as well
as for repelling dangers that may threaten US
in the future, we must be prepared to face any
policy winch we think best to adopt We must
be ready 10 defend our harbors against az
erosion; TO protect, by the distribution of our
ships of war over the highways of commerce,
the varied interests of our foreign trade and
the personal property of our citizens, and the
honor of our flag, aud the distinguished posi-
ton which we may rightfully claim among the

Morris tribune., 1881-12-15
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

MODIFICATION NEEDED.
The acting attorney general calls attention to
the necessity of modifying the present system
of the courts of the United States, necessity
due to the large increase of business, especial
ly in the supreme court. Litigation in our
federal tribunals became greatly expanded
after the close of the late war. So long
as that expense might be attributed
to the abnormal condition in which the
community found itself Immediately
after the return of peace prudence required
that no change be made in the constitution of
the tribunals; but it has now become apparent
that an immense increase of litigation has re-
suited from the wonderful growth and devel-
opment of the country. There is no ground
for belief that the business of the United
States courts will ever be less in volume than
at present Indeed, that it is likely to be much
greater is generally recognized by
the bench and bar. In view
of the fact that congress has already given
much consideration to this subject,'I make no
suggestion as to detail, but express the hope
that your deliberations may result in such leg
islation as will give early relief to our over
burdened courts. The acting attorney general
also calls attention to the disturbance of .he
public tranquility during the past year in the
Territory of Arizona. band of armed des-
peradoes, known as
COWBOYS,
probsoly numbering from fifty to 100 men,
hes been engaged for months in committing
acts of lawlessness and brutality, which the
local authorities have been unable to repress
The depredations of these cowboys have also
extended into Mexico, which the marauders
reach from the Arizona frontier. With every
disposition to meet the exigencies of the case.
/ am embarrassed by lack of authority
to deal with them effectually. The
punishment of crimes committed within Ari-
iona should ordinarily, of course, be left to the
territorial authorities. but it is worthy of con-
s1deratlon whether acts which necessarily tend
to embroil the United States with neighboring
governments should not be declared crimes
against the United States. Some of the incur
sions alluded to may perhaps be within the
scope Of the law, revised statute sections
1886, forbidding military expeditions or en-
terprises against friendly states; but in
view Of the speedy assemblage
of your body / have preferred to
await such legislation as in your wisdom the
occasion may seem to demand. It may perhaps
be thought proper to provide that the setting
on foot within our own territory of brigandage
and armed marauding expeditions against
friendly nations, and their citizens shall be
punishable as an offense against the United
States. viii add that in the event of re-
quest from o territorial government for
protection by the United States against
domestic violence, this governu,sas would be
powerless to render assistance. The act of
zz05, chapter SO, passed at,atime when Terri
azlai governments received little attention
srorn congress, enforced this duty OF the United
States only as to State government; but the
Act of 1907, chapter 80, applied also to tie
IN force until the revision Of the statutes.

support system for the education Of our peo-
pie no measures calculated to promote that gen.
eral intelligence and virtue upon which the
perpetuity of our institutions so greatly
depend have been regarded ever with
indifference by congress or the executive.
A large portion of the public domain has been
from time to time devoted to the promotion Of
education. There is special reason why by
setting apart the proceeds in sales of
public lands, or by some other course, the gov
ernment should aid the work Of education.
Many who now exercise the right Of
suffrage are unable to read the bal
lot which they cast Upon more
who had just emerged from condition of
slavery where suddenly devolved the RESPONSE
bilities of citizenship in that portion of the
country mostimpoverished by war. have been
pleased tolearn from the report of the COM
missioner of education, that there mas been
lately commendable increase Of in
terest and effort for their instruction,
but all that can be done by local legs
lation and private generosity, should be sup
plemented by such aid as can be constitution

would suggest that if any fund be dedicated
to this purpose it may be wisely distributed in
different States according to the rate of illit-
eracy, as by this means those localities which
are most in need Of such assistance will reap
it's special benefit
