LAND GRANITE
The nation has made its principal
grants and subsidies to . system of rail-
roads, projected a. great national high
ways to connect the Pacific states with
the east. It has been charged that these
donations from the people have been
diverted to private gain and corruption,
and thus the public indignation
has been aroused and suspicion
engendered. Our great nation does not
begrudge its generosity, but it abhors
fraud; and the favorable regard Of our
people for the great corporations to
which these grants were made can only
be restored by their constant, unequlvo.
cal and clearly manifested integrity.
A faithful application of the undimin-
ished proceeds of their grants, the con-
struction end perfection of their reads,
and an honest discharge of their obliga-
tions to all the people along these high
ways of travel, is all the public
asks; and it win not be
content with less. To secure these aims
should be the common purpose OF the
officers of this government as well OF the
corporations. With this accomplish
ment property would be permanently
secured to the roads, and national pride
wonld take the place Of national COM
plant.

The board on Notifications and other
defenses appointed in pursuance of the
act of congress, approved March Sd, 1885,
will, in short time, present its report
and it is hoped that this may greatly aid
the legislation SO necessary to remedy
the present defenselees condition
of our sea coasts. The work
of the signal service has been proceeded
with during the last year, with results OF
increasing benefit to i,he country. The
field of instruction has been enlarged,
with view of adding to its usefulness.
The number of stations in operation on
June 3Oth, 1885, was 4S9.
Telegraphic reports are received daily
from 160 stations. Reports are also re-
ceived from seventy-fve Canadian sta
tons, 375 volunteer observers, fifty-two
army surgeons at military posts and 1873
foreign stations. The expense of the
service during the fiscal year, after de-
Quoting the receipts from military tele-
graph lines, was $797 SOL 81, and in view
of the fact referred to by the secretary

and more unsuited to the fixed rules,
which must govern the army, 1 am in

that it should be separately established.
If this is done, the scope and extent
of its operations should as nearly as pos
sible be definitely prescribed by law, and
always capable of exact ascertainment.

The fact that within seventeen years
more than $50 600, 900 have been spent
in the construction, repair, equipment
and armament of vessels, and the fu- ther
fact that instead of an effective and cred
liable feet, we have only the discomfort
and apprehension of q nation without
adequate protection, do not permit US
to doubt that every attempt to revive
our navy has thus far for the most part,
been misdirected, and all our efforts in
that direction have been little better
than blind groupings and expensive
aimless follies.
POsToFFICE DEPARTMENT.
The affairs of the postal service are
exhibited by the report of the poetmast-
er general which will be laid before you.
The postal revenue, whose rate of gain
upon the rising prosperity of 1882 and
1888 outstripped the increasing expenses
of our growing service, was checked by
the reduction in the rate of letter post
age which took effect With the beginning
of October, in the latter year, and it d.
minished during the past two fiscal years
S2;790, 600 in about the proportion of ST.
$4,000 in 1884 to $500, 900 in 1885.
National growth and development
have meantime increased; expenditures
have resulted in deficiency in the rev.
enue to meet the expenses of the depart
mept of SIS, $50, 600 for the year 1884 and
SIS, 250, coo for the last fiscal year. The
anticipated revival of the revenue has
been oppressed and retarded by the
unfavorable business conditions of the
country, of which the postal service is q
faithful indicator. The gratifying facts
shown. however, by the report, is that
our returning prosperity is marked by
q gain of $3S0,O00 in revenue in the Lat.

Further restrictions of the right to re-
move cases from the state to federal
courts, permitting appeals to the supreme
court from the courts of the district OF
Columbia and the territories only in the
courts as they are allowed from state
courts, and guarding against an unneces-
sary number of appeals from the circuit
courts. l approve the plan thus out
lined, and recommend the legislation
necessary for its application to our judi.
cial system.
The present mode of compromising
United States marshals and district at
torneys should, in my opinion, be
changed. They are allowed to charge
AGAINST the government certain fees for
service, their income being measured by
the amount of such fees within q fixed
limit as to their annual aggregate. This
is as direct inducement for them to make
their fees in criminal cases as large as
possible, in effort to reach the maximum
sum permitted as is entirely natural.
The consequence is that interruptions
marshals are found encouraging fnivo-
lous prosecutions and arresting people
on petty charges of crime, and trans
porting them to distant places for exam
nation and trial, for the sake of earning
the mileage and other fees.
In connection with this subject de-
sire to suggest the sdvisabilify, if it De
found not obnoxious to constitutional
objection, of investing United States
commissioners with the power to try and
determine certain violations of the
law within the grade of
misdemeanor. and such trials might
be made to depend upon
the option of the accused, The multi
plication of the small and technical of.
lenses, especially under the provisions
of our internal revenue law under some
change in our present system is very de-
sirable in the interests of humanity as
well as economy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-When the
senate went into executive session to-day
Representative Ochiltree, Of Texas, was in
consultation in the senate cloak room with
Senator Jones, Of Nevada, and Senator
Maxey. Of Texas, relative to a Texas APP
pointment. The three remained in con-
ference more than half an hour, during
which time the senators discussed the
treaty under consideration. Ochiltree
left the cloak room, and going up on the
chamber floor went to Senator Coke, Of
Texas, to consult with him. The latter
was comforting with Senator Vest when
Ochiltree tapped him ON the shoulder.
Senator Coke for a moment was non
plussed. Turning to Ochiltrce he said
What in the devil arc you doing hero?
Don't you know We are in executive ses-
sion ?" Senator Vest laughed and warned
0chiltree not to let Senator Edmunds see
him. Hell arrest you and put you in
jail, he continued. Assistant Sergeant
alarms James Christie appeared at this
juncture, exhibiting much surprise at
Ochiltree's presence. He asked no ques-
tons, but taking the Texan by the arm
huriedly escorted him to the senate door
and told him to Get out, and closed
the door upon him.

BALTIMORE. Jan. 26.-On the 18th
inst the Society of the Army and Navy Of
the Confederate States held here, elected
JEFF Davis an honorary member of that

has been received:
GENTLEMEN Yours of the l4th inst.
has been received, and / gratefully nc
knowledge the honor of membership con-
ferred upon me by the Society Of the
Army and Navy of the Confederate States
in the state of Maryland. Distinguished
in its early colonization by Christian
charity and brotherhood in the war Of the
revolution, which established the sover-
eighty. freedom and independence of the
states, the chivalry of Maryland shone
conspicuous; nor less memorable is the
gallantry Of her sons in the war Of 1872.
True to their lineage, the men of 1861
despite the most embarrassing surround
ings, bore a distinguished part in the de-
Tense of those principles for which their
fathers successfully fought You, the
surviving heroes, have profoundly graft
fed me by numbering me among you, and
the certificate Of membership which you
have conferred upon me shall be left as an
heirloom to my children and children's
children, that they may never forget what
Is due their fathers friends, the old
soldiers of the Maryland line. With ever
increasing respect for your devotion to
constitutional liberty, l am fnternally
youn. JEFFERSON DAVIS.
