IMPORTANCE OF THE FORESTS.

The preservation of such portion of the
forest on the national domain as essentially
contributes to the equitable flow of impor-
tant water courses, is Of the highest conse-
quence. Important tributaries of the Mis-
souri,, the Columbia and the Saskatchewan
rise in the mountains of Montana, near the
northern boundary of the United States,
between the Blackfeet and Flathead Indian
reservations. This region is unsuitable for
settlement, but upon the rivers which flow
from it depends in the future the agricul-
tural development of vast tract of coun-
try. The attention of congress is called to
the necessity of withdrawing from the pub
lic!sale this part of the public domain and
establishing there forest preserve.

THE COURTS.

The attorney general criticises, In his re-
port, the provisions of existing laws fixing
the fees of jurors and witnesses in the fed
eral courts. The provisions are chiefly con-
tanned in the acts of February 26, 1858,
though some of them were introduced into
that act from statutes which had been passed
many years previous. 1t is manifest that
such compensation as might, when those
laws were enacted, have been just and rea-
sOnable, would in many instances be justly
regarded at the present day as wholly made

THE PRESIDENCY AND IT'S POWERS.

| At the time when the present executive
entered upon his term OF Office his death,
removal, resignation or inability to dis
charge his duties would have left the gov
eminent without constitutional head.
It is probable, of course, that a
unless the wisdom Of congress shall
provide against its recurrence. The
| senate at Its last session, after full
consideration, passed an act relating to the
subject which will now. 1 trust, commend
Itself to the approval of both houses of con-
gress. The clause of the constitution upon
which must depend any law regulating the
presidential succession presents also for
! solution other questions Of paramount i'm
portance. These questions relate to the
proper Interpretation Of the phrase Gin
ability to discharge the powers and duties
of said ofice.'
IMPORTANT QUESTION TO BE SETTLED.
Our organic law provides that when the
president suffer from much inability, the
presiding officer shall devolve upon the vice
president, who may himself, under life cir
cumstances, give place to such officer as
congress may by law appoint to act ~ presi
dent. I here set forth numerous and inter-
estihg inquiries which are suggested by
these words Of the constitution. They were
fully stated in my first communication to
congress-, and have been the subject of fire.
quent deliberations In that body. It is
greatly to be hoped that these momentous
questions will find speedy solutions lest an
emergency may arise when long delay will
be impossible, and any determination,
albeit the wiJest. may furnish cuuse for
anxiety Bnd alarm.
THE VETO POWER.
For the reasons fully stated in my last an
ntnl message, repeat my recommendation
that congress propose an amendment to that
provision of the constitution which pre-
scribes the formalities for the enactment Of
laws whereby, in respect to bills for the ap-
preparation Of public money, the executive
may be able, while giving hia approval to
particular items, to interpose his veto as to
such others az do not commend themselves
to his Judgment.

THE NATTER OF SALARY.

concur with the attorney general in the
belief that the statutes should DO evised by
which these fees are regulated: so, too,
should the laws which regulate the cOmpen-
sation of district attorneys and marshais.
They should be paid wholly by salaries in
stead Of in part by fees, as is now the case.
The change would prove to be measure Of
economy0 and would discourage the insti-
tuition of needless and oppressive legal pro-
ceedin IS, which, it is to be feared, have in
some instances been conducted for the mere
sake of personal gain.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

The commission ars who were appointed
under the act Of July 10, 1862, entitled Gan
act to regulate and improve the civil service
Of the United States,' entered promptly
ries of rules, framed in accordance with the
spirit of the statue, was approved and pro-
mulgated by the president OF the United
States, and in some particulars wherein they
seemed defective, these rules were subse-
quently amended. 1t will provide for the
discountenance of any political or religious
tests for admission to the Offices of the pub
lie service to which the statutes relate. The
act is limited in its original application to
the classified clerkships in the several eXecu-
tive departments at Washington, number
ing about ), 0G0, and to similar positions in
customs districts and postotfices where as
many as fifty persons are employed, q class
ification Of these positions analogous to that
existing in the Washington offices was duly
Eleven customs districts and twenty-three
postoffices were thus brought under the i'm
mediate operation Of the statute.
WORKINGS OF THE SYSTEM.
The annual report of the civil service
commission, which will soon be submitted to
congress, will doubtless afford the means Of
more definite judgment than l am now
prepared to express as to the merits Of the
new system. l am persuaded that its
effects have thus far proved beneficial. Its
practical methods appear to be adequate for
the ends proposed, and there has been no
serious difficulties in carrying them into eff
feet. Since the 10th Of July last no person,
SO far as l am aware, has been appointed to
the public service in the classified portions
thereof at any of the departments, or any Of
the postofffces and custom districts above
named, except those certified by the COM
mission to be most competent on the basis Of
the examination held in conformity to the
rules.

STRANGE. BUT TRUE.

One wsuld imagine that Gov
ernor Butler in his fight against
the helI-hole at TeWksbury,
would be backed by every hui
name and decent person in the
State Of Massachusetts. Such,
however, is not the case. He
is fought inch by inch by min
listers of the gospel and by quite
a large number Of newspapers.
In spite Of the appalling mass
Ofevidence which has been pro-
duced in the investigation there
are still to be found editors
depraved enough to write
vile assaults upon Butler and his
work of cleaning out this foul
nest of harpies who prey upon
the bodies of children and i'm
biciles at Tewksbury. The
Marsh family belong to some
church, and opponents Of the
gospel are found who rise up in
the pulpit and bsrate Butler,
WHO'S deing that for which every
citizen of Massachusetts should
homer him irrespective of poll
tics. The only defense SO far
made by the managers Of the
almshouse Is that they are the
victims Of political persecution.
