In view of mis fact, that during pas jtr me means wnien nave oeeu at the commauu of the Interior Department for the pur pose of Indian instruction, have proved to be utterly inadequate. The mccess of the schools which are iu operation ft Hampton, Carlisle and Forest Grove should not only encourage a more generous provision for the support of those Institutions, but should promote the establishment cf others of a similar character. Tbey are doubtless muthmoie potent for gxxi than the day schools upon the reservation, as the pupils are altOKetner separated from the aurrouatliuKS of savage life and brought into constant contact with civilization. There are many other phases of this subject which are of great interest, but which can not be included within the becoming 11 mite of this mm. muuication. They are discussed ably in the re pons 01 me secretary 01 me interior ana Com mi.sfcloner of Indian A flairs. Polygamy. or many years tne Executive In his annual message to Congress has urged the necessity of stringent legislation for the suppression, ol ijjtamy in me Territories". and especially in the Territory of Utah. The existing itatute for the punishment of thN odious crime so revolting to tue uiorai ana reunions sei.se 01 cnrlhleiidom, hm been prrite..ily and coatemptuouly violated ever since Us enactment. TmiP... i Of the commendable efforts on the part ot tlxa authorities w hu represent the United States in that Territory, the law has in very rare instance been enforced, anl fur a cause, to which refer-Clir-e wiil presently be made. 1 praoticallv h lra lettt-r. Tiie fact that the adherents of the Mormon Church which est upon polygamy as itr corner stone, have recently been peopling it large numbers Idaho. Ariz ua aud other of our NVtstern Territories, is well calculated to excite the. liveliest interest and apprehension. It imposes unon Cougress and the Executive the dutj ol using aealiixt this barbarous system all the power, whi.-h. under the Constitution and laws, they can wield lor its destruction. Reference ha already been made to the obstacle which the L'i lted States othcers have surmounted in their efforts to punish violators of law. Prominent among the obstacles the difficulty of procuring letcal evidence sufficient to warrant a conviction even in case of most notorious offenders. Youi attention is calleu to the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States, explaining its judgment of reversal in the case of Miles, who had been convlriedof bigamy in Utah. TheUonrt refers to the fact that the secrecy attending the celebration of marriages iu that Territory make the proof of polygamy very difficult, and the pro priety is suggested of modifying that law of evi deie which now make a wife incompetent to testify against the husband. This suggestion approved. I recommend also the passinn of an act providing that in the Territories of the United estates the fact that a woman married to a person charged with bigamy shall not disqualify her as a witness upon his trial for that Oliense. I further recommend leKlalatiou by whic h any person solemnizing a marriage in any of the Territories shad be required, under stringent penalties for i eglect or refusal, to tile a certi floate of such marriage in the Supreme Court of the Territory, unless Congress may devise other practicable measures for obviating the difficulties w men nave hitherto attended the efforts to suppress this t iqulty. I assure you of my deter mined purpose to co-operate with you in any lawful and decreet measures which may be pro posed' to that end. Educational. Although our system of government does not contemplate t' at the Nation should provide or support a system for the education of our people, no measures calculated to promote that general intelligence aud virtue, upon which the perpetuity of our institutions so greatly depends, have ever been regarded with Indifference by Congress or the Executive. A large portion of tho public domain has been from time to time devoted to the promotion of education. There is now a special reason why, by setting apart the proceeds of its sale of public lands or some othereourse, the Government should aid the work ol education. Many who now exercise the riht of suffrage are unable to read the ballot which they cast. Upon many who had jufi emerged from a condition of slavery suddenly devolved the responsibilities oi citizenship in that portion of the country most impoverished by war, I have been pleased to learn from the report of the Commissioner of Education that there has been lately a commendable lucrease of interest and an effort for their Instruction, but all that can be done by local legislation aud private generosity, should be sup pigmented by such aid as can be constitutionally afforded by the Natit.-ri Government. I would suggest that if any fund be dedicated to this purpe it may be wisely distributed in the differeut states, according to the ratio of illiteracy, as by this means those locations which are most in need of such assistance will reap its especial benefit. Agricultural. The report of the Commissioner of Agriculture exhibits results of the experiments in which that Department has been engaged during the past year, and makes important suggestions in referei ce to the agricultural development of the country. The stead increase of our population and the consequent addition to the number of those eugrtgiiig in the pursuit of husbandry, are giving to this Department a growing dignity aud importance. The Commissioner's suggestions touching its capat ity for greater usefulness deserve attention, as it more and more commends itself to the interest which it was created to promote. Pensions. It appears from the report of the Commissioner of Pusious that since lstk 780,063 original pension claims have been filed; 4äo,9l9 of these have been allowed and inscribed on the pension roll; 72.539 have been rejected and abandoned, belt g 13 plus per cent, of the whole number of claims settled. There are now pending for settlement 2W.575 original pension claims, VT27.04Ü of which were filed prior to July 1. In). These, :vhen allowed, will involve the payment of am irs from discbarge in case of invalids aud from the date ol death or termination of a prior right iu all other Cases. From all the data obtainable, it is estimated tust 15 per cent, of the number of claims now pending will be rejected or abandoned. This would show the probable rejection of 34.010 cases and the probable admission of about 19.1,0 0 claims, all of m bich involve the payment of arrears of pension. With the force employed, the number of adjudications remaining the same aud no new business intervening, this number of claims (P.M.10U) could be acted upon in a period of six years and taking January 1, 18KI. as a near period from which to estimate in each case. Ou the average amount of arrears, it is found that every case allowed would require for the first payment upon it. the sum of $1.3i0. Multiplying this amount to the whule number of probable admission gives fi'jJ.OoO.ooo as the sum required for the first payment. This rerresents the sum which must be paid upon claims which were filed before July 1. lso. and are now pend1: g and entitled to the benefits of the arrears act. From this amount. 1 25U.00O.UiO, may be deducted from llo.otiO.OW) to 115,0" o.OuO fi.r cases wnere the claimant dving, there Is Is no person who, under the law, woul l be entitled to succeed to the pen sion. leaving $2".0U0,0L0 as the probable amount to be paid, in thee estimates no aocouut has been taken of the 38,500 cases filed tince June 30. 1881, and uow pendins which must receive attention as current business, but which do not involve the payment of any arrears beyond the date of ti.iug the claim Of thin number it is estimated that b6 per cent, will be allowed. As has been stated, with the present force of the Pension Bureau, 675 clerks, it estimated that it will take six years to dispose of the cUims now pending. It i stated by the Com mlssiouer of Pensions that by an addition of 250 claims increasing the alj'idiating forces rather than the mechanical, double the amount of work could I accompli.ihed. so that these cases could be acted upon within three years, asie from the considerations o justice, whicn may be ured lor a speedy sett erne t of the claims uow ou the files of the Pen-ion Office. It is no less important ou the scare of economy, inasmuch as fully one-third of the clerical force of the office is now wholly occupied in giving attention to correspondence with the thousaudt of claimants whose caes have been ou the files for the pnsl eighteen years. The fact that a sum so enormous may be expended by the Government to meet the demands for arrears of peurlons is an admonition to Congress and the executive to give cautious consideration to any similar project In the future. The great temotation to the presentation of flcti'tioua claims, afforded by the fact that the average sum obtained upon each application is $1.300, lead to the suggestion o' the propriety of making Mime special appropriation for the prevention of fraud. I advise appropriations for such international improvements as the wisdom of Coi gress may deem to be of public importance. The necessity of improving the navittadoii of the Mississippi river justified a special allusion to the suoject 1 suggest theadoption of some measure for the removal of the obstructions, which now impede the navigation of that great channel of commerce. Public Service. In my letter accepting the nomination for the Vice Presidency I stated that, iu my judgment, "no man should b-j incumbent of an office the duties of which he is for auy cause unfit to perform, who is lacking in the ability, fide'ity or inte' ity which a proper administration of such office demands." This sentiment would doubtless meet with general acquiesccj.ee, but opinion has been widely divided upon the wisdom and practicability of the vailoua reformatory schemes which have been suggested, and cf certain proposed regulations goveruing appointmeuts to of fice. The efficiency of such regulations has been distrusted mainly because they have seemed to exact more educatioual and abstract testa above general business capacity, aud even special fitness for the particular work in hand. It seems to m that the result that should be applied u the management of the public service ma; properly couflrm in the maiu in such at regulate the conditlou of successful private bus! nesa. Original appointments should be base upon ascertained fitness. The tenure of offio should be stable. Positions of responsibilit; should, so far as practicable, be filled by the promotion of worthy and efficient officers. The inwoatipation of all complaint" and the punishment of all official misconduct should be prompt and thorough. The views expressed in the foregoing letter are those which shall govern my ad minis tration of the Executive Office. They are doubtless shared by all intelligent and patriotic citi xens however divergent in their opinions as io best method of putting them into practical operation. For exam pie. the assertion that original ppoinunenuahouidbeuaed upon ascertained

I am uuwilliug in justice to the present civil servants gi the trovernment to di-mKs this suojo -t without dedariiof my dissent from the severe aud almost indiscriminate cmstire with which they have been recently assailed. That they are as a class indolent, inefficient and corrupt is a statement which has i-een often madeitnu widely en d i ted, but w hen the extent, variety, de icacy and importance of their duties are consiriered, the great majority of the Ooveniiiient employes are, in my judgment, deserving f high commeudatiou. The coiitipumg decline of the merchant marine of the United states b t be greatly deplored in view of the 1 id (hat we firnd-h. so large a prointiou of the freights of the commercial world and that our shipments are steadily and rapidly increasing. It is a cause oj surprise that not only Is cur navigation interest diminishing, but it is less than when our experts and imports were not half so large as now, either in bulk or in value. There must be someiax-aliar hindrance to the deveionuie.it of tnii interest, or the enterprise and energy of Ametlciii mechitiics and capitalists would hae kept this country at least abreast of our rivals in the friendly contest lor ocean su premacy. The substitution of iron for wod and of steam lor s.dl have wrought great revolutions in the carrying trade f the worid, but these changes mid not have bceuadversetoAmeriea.il we had given to our navigation Interest.-a artion of the aid and protection which have be n so wisely bestowed upon our manufacturers. 1 commend the w hole subject to the wisdom of Congre-s. with the suggestion that no question of greater magnitude or farther reaching lmiiortatice can engage their attention. In 1875 the Supreme Court of the United States declared unconstitutional the statutes of certain btales which im iased upon thip owners or consiiees a tax of SI..V) for each paenger arriving from a foreiiiu country, or iu lieu thereof required a bond to inderai.ify the Hta'e and local authotilies SKainst expenses for the future relief orsupp irtof such passenger. tince this decision the expenses attetidtrg the care uiid supervision of immigrants has fallen on the States at whose ports they have landed. As a large majority of such immigrants immediately upon Iheir arrival proceed to the inland States and the Territories to seek permanent homes. It is manifestly ui.jttst to impose upon the State wboso shores they lirst reach, the bunten which it uow bears. For this rea.on and because of the National importance of the subject. I recommend legislation regarding the supervision U transitory laws of immigrants at the ports of debarkation. Alaska. I regret to state that the people of Alaska have rea-ou to com plain that they are as yet unprovidd with any fo-in of Government by w hich life or property can be protected. Whilo the extent of its iiopuiatloii dies not justify the appli cation of the costly machinery of Tenitorial Administration, there' N immediate necessity for cons' rutting such form of Government as will promote the education of the people aud secure the administration of justice. The Senate at its last esion passed a bill providing for the construction of a building for the library of Congress, tot it failed to become a law. The provision of such able protection for this great collection of books ami for the upright department connected with it has become a subject of national importance, and should receive prompt attention. The District of Columbia. The report of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia herewith transmitted will inform you fully of the condition of the atfairsof the District. The vital importance of legislation is for the reclamation and improvement ol the marshes and for the establishment of the harbor lines along the Potomac Kiver front. It i represeuted that in their present coi dilious these marsh. seriously siTeet the health of the residents of the adjacent parts of the city ar d that they greatly mar the general aspect of the Park in which stands the Washington monument. This improvement would give to that Park and the Park south of the Executive Mansion a large area of valuable land, and would transform what is now believed to be a dangerous nuisance into an attractive landscape, extending to the river front. They recommend the removal of the steam railroad lines from the surface of the streets of the city, and the location of

the recessarv depots in such places as may be

convenient for the public accommcajtioi , and they call attention to the deficiency of the water supply w hich seriously afl'ects the material pros peiiiy of the city and the headh aud comfort of its inhabitants. I commend these subjects to your favorable consideration. Pre tdentia! TiinhllUy. The importance of timely legislation with re spect to th ascertainment ad declaraf oa of the vote for Presidential electors waj shaii i -called to the attention ot the people more th.-m f jur years ago. It is to b' hoped that some e'l leH-ed measure may be devised before another National election, which will render unnecessary a resort to auy expedient of a temporary character for the determination or questions upon contested returns.

The Adams family, unlike most families, hxs held its moral character and s;ial positi n unimpaired th ough four generations. It has lost no mental force, nor power and will to serve the country. But it has also retained certain rmmal infirmities, which have hindered its members from a ju t appreciation of other statesmen, and from cordial co-operation with them. Cia-lcs Francis Adams has illustrated this trait by a singular incapacity to understand Abraham Lincoln's greatness, and his pre eminence in his own Cabinet. John Adams, th founder of the family, with all his mental power and patriotism. fell into rimilar blunders. His letters show a wonderful sagacity in comprehending political questions and a wonderful an obtuienets as to tie merits of his associate. When he was associated with Franklin rs a Com miff ioner to France, he was perpetually undoing what Franklin had done by superior insight i.ito French character and m Glieds. Adams was suspicious of Frankl'i., nd equally ewpi-'inun of the French stale: men, and by his obninate prejudices endangered the alliance bitween France and this country. SOCIETY DIRECTORY.
