WASHINGTON.
The Attorney Generals Ren orr
70 Congress:

WASHINGTON, December 4.-The
report of the Attorney General was
submitted to Congress to-day. He
calls attention to the necessity for
speedy legislation In the direction of
affording effectual relief from delays
which now obstructs the administra-
tiOn Of justice in the Supreme Court
and to some extent in tha Circuit aud
District Courts Of the United States.
The entire number Of suits pending in
the Court of Claims against the United
States is 7l8, claiming 1851 ,756.
During the fiscal year 1878 civil suits
and 777S criminal presentations were
terminated. In the civil suits aa9
cases terminated faVorably to the
United States and 974 we're either mol
pressed, dismissed or discontinued
For expenses of the Courts for the
last fiscal year 22,Tl0,9l2 were paid
and the amount asked to pay the
expenses for the next fiscal year
is $26O,OOO. This estimate is made up
with the view Of avoiding future de-
6Ciencies and more promptly paying
public creditors The Attorney Gen.
eral recommends the revision Of the
present marsha,u fee bills, the increase
Of appropriation enabling the Attorney
General properly to investigate the
accounts Of district attorneys, mar
shals, clerks and others, and the re-
enactment Of the section providing
that United States attorneys may
appoint substitute attorneys to attend
the duties of Office when they cannot
attend to them themselves. The
recommendations are as follows: Thai
additional legislation be had to pro.
tect Executive civil officers of the
government in the performance oi
their duties, and also against outragel
committed upon them because they
have faithfully performed chem. There
is no United States punishment fol
the murder Of one Of these officers
while engaged in discharging hii
duties, or because he has discharged
them. This is a matter which should
not be left to the administration o.
Justice in State courts. A proper
egard for the safety o.
these officers requires legislation
should be ample and cover all out
RACES, but especially tho highest out
rage, murder. In regard TO the build
ing Of United States penitentiaries il
ither Arizona or New Mexico, tn,
Attorney General calls attention I,
b the refusal Of the Legislature Of th
Territory Of Utah to appropriate
funds for the execution Of territOria
: laws under Congressional legislation
! and says: IF this legislation is t.
5 be maintained special appropriation
must therefore be made annually t
/ meet the demands OF justice. Tn
Legislature has been persistent 70
several years in this particular, an
j thus has escaped tho charge borne b
T oil other Territories. This amount
to about $4,000 annually"
The remaining topics referred to i
the repert pertain TO matters Of IL
terest only to residents OF the DistriC
Of Columbia,

less to begin the discussion in regard
to the fate Of Morgan, the man who
pretended to expose Masonry. General
Pike, very high Masonic authority, is
Of the opinion that Morgan was killed
by members Of the order, but not by
any authority Of lodge as such.
Admitting this to be so it does not i'm
plicate thoIorder at large, or affect its
high standing and Esefulness. Nor
gan sought to bring Odium on the
order by publishing a pretended reye-
latiou OF its secret works, rituals, etc.
If he was killed by Masohs il was
done by q misguided few who took the
law of revenge into their own hands.
The incident is enveloped In mystery
as it was, and fully discussed in an
angry spirit for many years before the
most Of people now living were born
must stand upon its own merits.
There have been other pretended ex-
posures from time to time, bat no
other murder or violence on that
account was eyer repoFtsd. Masonry
has grown apace in spite of some
prejudice and opposition until it
is q grand institution exercising
a benehGept and healthy social infu-
ence throughout ths LAND. Whether
it came down as the successor OF SONS
mystic order in ancient Egypt, or was
founded in the days of Solomon, or had
its origin more recently in the middle
ages, when the Knights Pemplar vent
forth to recover the Holy Land from
profane hands, it is Of no practical
importance to Inquire now. Masonry,
in some form or other, has spread all
over tho world, and its members
are to be found even in the
darkest places aud remOtest tribes
Masonry has led civilization, and the
light it gives is second only to that o.
the church. Its werk has been to ex
emplify and teach morality, to develop
che good that is in human nature ant
to proteotthe widow aud orphan. 1t ha
survived the rise and fall of empires
and being animated by undyiDg prip
ciples and noble purposes, it will 6
on in its grand course for unnumbere,
centuries to come.

PRESIDENT Arthur's message to
Congress is coming over the wires TO-
day. 1t is very voluminous, and
seems to touch upon every topic
ever mentioned by his recent pre-
decessors. He refers frequently
to his former recommendations
and is evidently on the defensive
for his party and faction. He recon-
mends a modification of the tariff, and
makes various other suggestions which
accord with the rosistless logic of the
late elections.

The next Tennessee Legislature
will be called upon to elect a U. S.
Senator. The friends of the different
aspirants are already working hard
for their favorites, and the only ma 4
they dread is Governor-elect William

lature, we feel sure he will rot
be candidate before that body. He
has another mission to fulfill. He
was elected by the people of Tennes
see to settle the State debt, and unit
ne does that no other ambition will
lind a lOdgment in his great heart.
That he will settle the State debt In
obedience to the spirit of his platform.
which is the peoples will expressed
in thunder tones, we have
no more doubt than we do that
the sun shines by day. The upright,
bold and impartial manner in which
he discharges all his high duties
fully comprehending the difficulties
that surround him in observing the
spirit of the law-he will surely mete
out equal and exact justice to the peo.
pie and the bondholder alike.
With the greet lawyer and the pro.
found jurist, General Bate combines
a Lofty patriotism that looks to TIE
common good of our common country
and the ameliorstion and advancement
Of our rcople. With these ends in
view, with this spirit as his guiding
star, the people Of Tennessee proudly
and confidently place the settlement
Of the State debt in his hands. This
is his mission and, for the present, the
SenatorShip has no allurements for
him Gentlemen, General Bate is, Of
his own vOlition, in the way OF no one
who aspires to Senatorial honors.
