In pursuance of the directions of congress the Rodgers was flttcdout for the relief of the Jeannette. in accordance with the act of congress of March 3, 1881, and sailed from San Fran cisco June 18th under the command of Lieutenant Robert M. Berry. On Novem ber 30th she was accidentally destroyed by fire while in winter quarters ln8t. Lawrence Bay, but the oflfcerB and crew succeeded In escaping to the shore. Lieut. Berry and one of his officers, after making a search for the Jeannette along thecoas of Siberia fell in with Chief KngineerMel vlllo's party and returned home by way of Europe. Tho other officers and the crew of the Rodgers were brought from ft. Lawrence Bay by the whaling steamer North Star. Master Charles F. Putnam who had been placed In charge of a depot of supplies at Cape Serdge, returning to his post from St. Lawrence Bay, across tlielcein a blinding storm, was carried out to sea and lost, notwithstanding all c/rorts to rescue him

It appears by the Secretary's report that the available naval force of the Unitnd States consists of 37 cruisers, 14sinle turreted monitors, built during the reelllon, a large number of smoothbore guns and parrot rifles and 87 rifled cannon. Tho cruising vessels snould be gradually replaced by iron or steel ships the monitors by modern armored vessels, and the armament by high power rifled guns. The reconstruction of our navy, which was recommended in my last message, was begun by congress authorising In Its recent act the construction of two'large unarmored steel vessels, of the character recommended by the late navy advisory board and subject to the final approval of a new advisory board, to be organized as provided by that act. I call your attention to tho recommendation of the secretary and the board that authority Ue given to con struct two more cruisers of smaller dimensions and one fleet dispatcli vessel, and that appropriations be made for high power rifled canon, for the torpedo service, and for other harbor defenses. Pending the consideration by congress of the policy to be hereafter adopted in constructing the eight large navy yfttds and their expensive establishments, the secretary advocates the reduction of expend! tures therefor to the lowest possible amounts.

For tho purpose of affording the officers and seamen of the navy opportunities of exercise of discipline in their profession under appropriate control and direction, the secretary advises that tho light house service and coast survey bo transferred, as now arranged, from the treasury to the navy department, and also suggests for the reasons which he assigns, that a similar transfer may wisely be made of the cruising revenue vessels. The secretary forcibly depicts tho Intimate connection and indepcndenco of tho navy and tho commercial marine, and invites attention to the continued decadence of the latter and the corresponding transfer of our growing commerce to foreign batto ms.

This subject is one of the utmost Importance to the national welfare. Methods of reviving American ship building and of restoring tlib United Slates.flag on tlift ocean carrying trade should receive the immediate attention of congress. We have mechanical skill anil abundant, material for tho manufacture of modern iron steamships In fair competition with our commercial rivals. Our disadvantage in building ships is, tho krenter cost of labor and in sailing them, higher taxes and greater Interest on capital. While thcocean highways aroalready monopolized by our formidable competitors, the obstacles should In some way be overcome, and for our rapid communication with foreign lands we should not coiitlnuo to depend wholly upon vessels built in tho yards of other countries and .sailing under foreign flags. With no United States steamers on the principal ocean lines or any foreign ports, our facilities for extending oUr commerce arc greatly restricted, while the nations which build and sail the ships and carry the mails and passengers, obtain thereby conspicuous ndvantugos of Increasing their trade.

The Posloflice I'cpnrtmeut. The report of the poslmasjer general gives evidence of tlie satisfactory condition of the department, and contains many valuable data and occompfthying suggestions which ennhot fail to be of interest. The Information which It affords that the receipts for the fiscal year have exceeded the expenditures, must bo-very gratifying to congress and to the people of the country. As mattcts which may fairly claim particular attention, I refer you to his observation in referonco to tho advisability of changing tho presont basis of fixing salaries and allowances, and for extending tho money order system of enlarging tho functions of the postal establishment so as to bo under ts control the telegraph system of the country, though from this last and most important rccommcndatlon I must withhold my concurrence.

CHKATEK FOSTAOE.

At the last session of congress several bills were Introduced into the house by representatives for the reduction of letter postago to the rato of two cents pot- half ounce. 1 have given much study and reflection to tills subject and am thoroughly persuaded that such a reduction would be for tlio best Interests of the publlci It lias boon tho policy of the sovefnment from its foundation to defray as far as possible tho expenses of carrying tho malls by a direct tax in tho form of postage. It has never beon claimed, however, that tills service ought, to be productive of a net revenue. As has been stated already tho report of tlje postmaster general shows that there now a very considerable surplus in his department, and that henceforth the receipts are likely to inorease at a much greater ratio than tlio necessary expenditures. unless somo change is mado In the existing laws. The profits or tho postal servico will in a very few years swell tho rovc"nuos of the government many millions of dollars. Tlio tlnio seems auspicious therefore for some reduction in tlio rates of postage. In what shall that reduction consist? A review of the legislation which has been had upon this subject during tho last thirty years discloses that domestic letters constitute the only clasR of mail liinttcr which has never been favored by ft substantial reduction of rates. I am convinced that the burden of tho maintaining of the service falls most unequally upon that class and that more than any other it sontitled to present, relief. That such relief might extend without detriment to other public interest will bo discovered upon rovlving the results of former reductions. Immediately prior to the act of 1845 tho postage upon a letter composed of a slnglo ounce was as follows: If convoyed 30 miles or loss six cents between sn and 80 miles ton cent botweon 80 and 50 miles 12J4 cents between 150 and 400 miles 1S% conts over 400 miles twenty live ccnts. By the act of 1815 the postago upon a single letter conveyed for any distance under.'500 miles was fixed at flvocents and for any greater distanco at ton ccnts. By tho act of 1851 it was provided thata single letter, if prepaid, should bo carried any distance not oxceed850 miles for 3 cents, and any greater distance for (i cents. It will be noticed that both of these reductions wore of a radical character and relatively auiteus important as that which is now proposed. In each case there ensued a temporary loss of revenue, but a sudden and large Influx of business which substantially repaired that loss. Within three years, uness tho experience of past legislation in this country and elsewhere goes for naught, it may bo safely predicted that tlM stimulus of 50 per ceiitum reduction IH tax for carriage would at once Increase tlio number of letters consigned the mails. Tho advantage of secrewould Head to a very general ubstitution of sealed packets for postal ards, and open circulars, and in divers other ways the volume of first-class matter would bo enormously augmented. Such increase amounted in England in the first vear after tho adoption of penny postage, io moro than 125 per cent. As a result of careful estimates, the details of which cannot fall to convince that the deficiency fter tho proposed reduction would not, for the tlrst year, exceed seven per cent, of tho expenditures, or three million dollars, \Thile tho deficiency after the reduction of 1845 was moro than fourteen per cent., and after that, of 1851, was twenty-seven ^ier cent.

Anotherlnteresting comparison fs afforded by statistics furnished me by the postofllce department. The act of 1845 was passed in face of the fact that there existed a deficiency of more than £90,000. That of 1851 was encouraged by tho slight surplus of $182,000. Tho excess of revenue in he next fiscal year is likely to be SISOO,000. If congress should approve these suggestions, it may bc.leoined desirableto supply, to some extent, the deficiency which must for a time result by increasing the charge for carrying merchandise, which is now only sixteen cents per Dound, but even without such an increase :am confident, that tho receipts under the diminished rates would equal thoexpendtturcs after the lapse of three or four years.

The Interior Department

The report of the secretary of the in terior, with its accompanying docu ments) presents a full statement of the varied operations of that department.

In respect to Indian affairs, nothing has occui red which lias changed or seriously modified the views to which I devoted piuch space in a former communication to cohgress. I reniSW thN recommenda= tion {herein contained as to extending the Indians the protection

Among other important subjects which are included within the secretary's Report and which will doutless furnish- occasion -for congressional action, may be mentioned tho neglect of the railroad companlos, to which largo grants of land wore mado by the acts of 1862 and 1861, to take title thereto-and their consequent Irroquitablc exemption from local taxation.

TJIE CENSUS.

No survey of our material condition can fail to suggest thquii-les as. to the moral and intollectuul progress of tho people. The ccnsus returns disclose ah alarming stato of illiteracy in ccrtain portions of the country where the prevision for schools Is grossly inadequate, It-is a momentous question for the decision -of congress whether immediate iincl substantial itlrtshblild be extended by the general government for supplementing the efforts of brlvate beneflclcnce and of stato and territorial legislation in bohalf of education.

The "regulation of inter-state comtncrcc has already been the subject of your deliberations. One of tlio incidents of the marvelous extension of the railway system of tho country has been the adoption of suc-h measures by the corporations which own or control the roads, as has tended to impair the adantages of healthful competition and lake liurtful discriminations in the adjustment of freightage. These inequalities have been corrected In several oi the states by appropriate legislation, the effect of which is necessarily restricted to the limits of their own territory. So far as such mischiefs aflbct commerce between tho states or between any of the

states and a foreign country, thoy are subjects of national concern, and congress alone can afford relief.

POLYGAMY.

Tlio results which havb thus far attended tho enforcement of the rcccnt statute for the suppression of polygamy In the territories aro reported by the secretary of the interior. It isnotprobablothatnny additional legislation in tills regard Will be doomed desirableUlltil lliecffcctof tho existing laws shall be moro closely observed and studied. I congratulate you that the commissioners under whoso supervision those laws liavo been put in operation are eneouraged to believe that the evil at which they are aimed may be suppressed without resort to such radical measures as In some quarters havo beon thought indispensable for succoss. the close relation of the general government to the territories preparing to bo of great value may well engage your special attention. It is there that the Indian disturbances occur and that polygamy lias found room for Its growth. I cannot doubt that a careful survey of territorial legislation would bo of the highest utility. Life and property would become moro secure, the liability of outbreak* between Indium? and whites would bo lessoned, tho public domain would bo more securely guarded and better progress bo mado in the instruction of tho young.

Alaska is still without any form of civil government. If means were provided for tlio education of its people and for the protection of their lives and property, the immense resources of tlio region would Invite permanent settlement and open a new field for Industry and enterprise.

The report of the commissioner of agriculture presents an imconnt of tllB labors of that department during tho past yettr, Hhd includes information of much interest to the general public. The condition of tile foretts of the country and the wastful manner in which their destruction is taking place, give cause for serious apprehension. Their action in prolec'ing the earth's surface in modifying the extremes of climato and In regulating and sustaining thollowof springs midstreams is not well lyiderstood and their importance In relation to tho growth and pros-

perit.y of the country cannot bo safely disregarded. They aro fast disappearing before destructive fires and the legitimate requirements.of our increasing population and their"total extinction cannot be long delayed unless belter methods than now prevail,shall be adopted fortlieirprotoction and cultivation. The attention of congress Is Invited to tho neccssltyof additional legislation to secure tho preservation of the valuable forests sti-l romainingon the public domain, especially in cxtremo western states and territories whereon tho necessity of their preservation is greater than in. less mountainous regions, and where the prevailing dryness of the climate renders this restoration, if thoy aro once destroyed, well nigh impossible. ivil Sevice.

The communication which I mado to congress at its first session in December last contained a somewhat full statement of my sentiments in relntion to the principles and rules which ought to govern appointments to public scrvlco, referring to tho various plans which had been tho subject of discussion in the national legislature. Tho plans, which in the main were modeled upon the systom which obtains in Great Britain, but which lacked certain of the prominent features whereby that systom is distinguished, I felt bound to Intlmato my doubts whether they, or any of them, would nfford adequate remedy for the evils which thoy aimed to correct. I declared, nevertheless, that if the proposed measures should prove acceptable to congress they would receive the unhesitating support of the executive. Slnco tlio suggestions were submitted for your consideration there lias been no legislation upon the subjcct to which they relate, but thcro has, meanwhile, been an increase in tho public interest on that subject, and the people of the country, ^apparently without distinction of party, have, in various ways, and upon irequent occasions, given expression to tliolr earnest wish for prompt and definite action. In my JudJment such action should no longer be postponed. I may add that my own sense of Its pressing importance has been quickened by observation, in a practical phase, of the matter to which attention has more than once been called by my predecessor. The civil list now comprises about one hundred thousand persons, for the larger part of whom must, under the terms of the constitution, bo selected by the president, either directly or through his own appointees. In.the early years of the administration of the government the personal direction of appointments to the civil service may not havo been an irksome task for the executive, but now that the burden has increased fully a hundred fold, it has become greater than lie ought to bear, and it necessarily diverts his time and attention from the proper discharge of other duties more delicate and responsible and which in tlie very nature of things cannot be delegated to other hands. Iiutlie judgment of not a few who have given study and reflection to the matter, the nation has outgrown the provisions which the constitution established for the Ailing of the minor offices In the public service. But whatever may be thought of the wisdom and experience of changing the fundamental law in this regard, it is certain that much relief may be afforded not only

Personal.

I feel bound to correct a^ prevalent misapprehension as to tho frequency with which the present executive has displaced the incumbent of an oftlce and appointed another in his stead. It has been repeatedly alleged that he has in this particular signally departpd from the course which has been pursued under recent administrations of the government. The facts are as follows: Tho whole iiiimberS of ex ecutlve appointments during the four years immediately preceding Mr. Garfield's accession to tho presidency was 2,696. Of this number 244, or 9 per "Cent., involved ^the removal of previous in cumbcnts. The ratio Of removals to the wliolo nUinber of appoint frienls wan miich the safne during each of these fotir yetirs. Ifi the first year, with 790 appointments, there werb 74 re movals, orftl per cent. In the second with 917 appointments, there were 85 removals, or 8.5 percent. In the third, with •ISO appointments, tliorc were 48 removals, or 10 per cent. In the fourth, with 424 appointments. there were 37 removals, or 6 por cent. In the four months of President Gitrlleld'stid.'ninistration there were 890appointments nh(l 8ltrblfloVals(or22i7 per cehti Precisely the same number of removals, 8U, has taken place irt the fourteen months which have since elapsed, but they constitute only ^percent of the whole numbcrof appointments.

It goes without saying that such contributions arc not voluntary and In my judgment their collection should be prohibited by law. A bill which will effectually suppress them will receive my cordial approval.

District of Columbia.

I hope that however nttmerqus and urgent may be tlio demands upon your attention) tlid interests of this District will not be forgotten. The dental to its residGiUf) of the great right of suffrage- ln all its relation to state and municipal action, imposes on congress the duty of affording them the best administration which its wisdom can devise.

Tho report of the district commissioner indicates certain measures whose adoption would seem to bo very desirable. In one instance in particular, those which relate to the arrears of taxes, to steam railroads, and the assessment o.f, real property.

The Klectoral Vote.

Among the questions which have been tho topics of recent debates in the halls of congress none arc of greater gravity than those relating to the ascertainment of the vote for presidential doctors, and tho intendment of the constitution in its proliions for devolving executive funotions Upon the vice president when the president suffers from inability to discharge tho powers and duties of his office. I trust hat no embarrassment may result from failure to determine these questions before another national election.

There is no doubt that many are worthless, yet a remedy that has stood the test for years, like Dr. Sherman's Prickly Ash Bitters, and its sale and popularity increasing every day, must have merit or it would have disappeared long since.

f" f. Why Be Downcast?

True, you are in a miserable condition—you are weak, pal id, and nervous. You cannot sleep at night, nor enjoy your waking hours yet, why lose, heart? Get at the druggists a bottle of Burdock Blood Bitters. They will restore you to health and peace of mind.

Stato securities, licglcctcd. IBThe stock market was devoid of any special features this forenoon except greater firmness than might havo been expcctcd In view of the continued uncertainty about the prospect of a settlement of the railroad war. In the afternoon the market was rather quiet and with only fractional changes, though a great variety of rumors were afloat about the prospective settlement of the .railroad war, until the market was suddenly deiressed by a reported dispatch in regard the supposed outline of rates on the Gould roads. Mr. Gould is reported to havo said lato this afternoon that there was no truth in the report, the dispatch rofcrred to having been received from General Manager OldB, nnd that there was no cutting and would be nocuttlng of rates on his road. It seems, therefore, that the whole thing waii created to break the market.
