gress.
The reports of the heads of the
several executive departments re-
CURED by law to be submitted me,
which are herewith submitted, and
the reports Of the secretary Of the
treasury and the attorney general
made directly TO congress, furnish
a comprehensive view of the adj
ministrative work of the last fiscal
year relating to internal affairs.
1t would be of great advantage if
these reports could have an attent-
i've perusal by every member of
congress, and by all who take an
interest in public affairs. Saeh a
perasaf could not fall to excite
higher appreciation of the vast la
Dor and conscientious efforts
which are given to the conduct of
our civil administration. The re-
ports will show that every question
has been approached, considered
and decided from the standpoint of
public duty, and upon considera-
ton affecting the public interest
alone.

Of that city to appear as witness
before that august tribunal. But
he has since that time imposed a
fine Of $500 on each member Of the
grand jury, and ordered the jury
locked IN jail until the fine is paid.
Some Of the best legal ability Of
that city maintain that the Judge
had a perfect right to act as he
did and, that the law viii sustain
him. But many OF the citizens
are very indignant and threatened
TO release the incarcerated jury or
demolish the jail. A petition was

My appeal is and must continue
to be for a constitution that shall
proceed with candor, calmness
and patience upon the lines of JUS
tee and humanity, not by proiu-
dice and cruelty"
To the consideration of these
very grave questions 1 invite the
attention not only of the gentle
men of congress, but of all patri-
otto citizens. We must not enter
tain the delusion that our people
have ceased to regard ballot and
equal representation as the price
of their allegiance to laws and CT
vii magistrates.
I have been greatly rejoiced to
notice many evidences of the in
creased unifcation of our people
and of a revived national spirit.
The vista that now opens to US
is wider and more glorious than
ever before. Qualifications and
amazements struggle for suprema-
cy as we contemplate the popula-
ton, wealth and mortal strength
of our country. A trust momen-
tous III rs 1n1aences upon our peo-
pie, upon the world, is for brief
time committed to us, and we must
not be faithless to its first condi-
ton, the defense of the free and
equal influence of the people in
the choice of public officers and in
the control of public offairs.
