We to-day publish that portion of the President’s message which relates to domestic affairs and which is of general interest to the people. The document is indeed a queer paper, and it is well and justly said by the Chicago Times that #brevity is its best recom“mendation, -As a state paper, it lacks “breadth and comprehensiveness, and «ig singularly feeble, both in substance “and in manner,, Its author makes no “attempt at methodical arrangement or “treatment of the topics discussed, but “rambles; from the Giver of all Good “to the dispenser of all reconstruction; “from nations to niggers, and from " “politics to potatoes, in the most unae“countable and startling fashion.

It contdins nothing that woild entitle the author to the claim of statesmanship, and is lamentably destitute of argument and logic. -No one, however, had just reason to expect anything better. Mr. Grant undoubtedly did his “level best,” and inasmuch as the people had a full knowledge of his lack of ability for ‘the position he now holds, when they. elevated him thereto, we find no pleasure in pointing out his shortcomings on that score. b : Congress. : The Forty-first Congress of the United States convened at Washington on ‘Monday last.

It should hardly be necessary at this late day to warn Democrats of the purposes of the-new crusade againsta portion of their fcllow-citizens, for which the recent action of the Board of:Education of Cincinnati in excluding the Bible from the Common School,s; has supplied a conveniens pretext. Cunning and unscrupulous demagogues have found little difficulty in inflaming the passions of the ignorant until passions of religious rage has found gratification in burning churches, and robbing the altar of its sacred vessels. The Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot pointedly says that the Lord Gordon ri. RERPAE Limer centure bave fognd Ik bold 'prentices of Philadeiphia and other cities, who testified their zeal for the Bible, and their faith in the true religionly acts of violence, pillage and ardon.— From the smoke of burning temples rose a powerful but happily short-lived party, whose principles were as bad as their name was contemptible. In quite recent’ times the people have witnessed how sa- . cred history and Scripture texts were perverted to sustain the pro slavery tenets of one party, and they have seen the pnlpit converted into a rostram for the passionate partisan denunciations of another,— In both sections, party zeal predominated over the law of religious love, and the Bible was the convenient instrumenit, and: its teachings were tortured to meet the views of each. ' jo 1 R

The exceptional action of a local échool board furnishes another and a long-covet ed pretext for sectarian agitation. The analysis of the religious opinions which prevailed 'in the board is given. [ With the particular religious faith (or noifaith) of each member of that. board we have nothing to do. ' He is responsible to those who elected him as a public officer, but as a Catholic, Jew, Protestant or Infidel he is not known to our political system. There were doubtless some members of that Board who voted to exclude the Bible from the schools, out of a profound reverence for the Book of Christian law. This is said, however, with great deference to the intelligence, wisdom and charity of those who assume that none but bigots, on the one hand, and arrant infidels, on the other, could take such action. There are many who ingist tbat there is ‘much in the Old Testament that! is not edifying reading for -children. | Some there are who agree with the Bishop of Nata! and other learned theologians that portions of the chronology and narrative of the Bible are not inspired. Others ingist that because of its antiquated style, it is not a good. text book in schoals, and its quaint language not desirable for imjtation except among Quakers and Anabaptists. There are those who have a deep reverence for the Divine teachings contained between its lids, and therefore are averse to seeing the.Bible dog-eared and thumb sorn, and tossed abont carelessly and indifferently among Leedless children at school. If not employed as a text ‘book, they do not believe that many teachers are the n:ost discriminating judg: es/of the proper chapters to 'be daily selected for reading in the schools. | _ While it may not be denied that some are opp[osed to the use of the i%ible in ‘schools, because of unbelief, thete is no doubt on the other hand, that the action of the Cincinnati school board l‘ias beén seized on to provoke sectarian ‘warfare, rather than to defend the doctrines of the Scripture. The mere loud-mouthed advocacy of the use of the Bible in schools is no more proof of Christian sentiment, than opposition to such use is evidence of -the contrary.| sk et *‘A man may éry Church ! Church ! at every word, i "'Eth no;mo;e’»pietv.thun other people ; : The daw’s not reckoned a religious bird Because he keeps a cawing from a steeple.” - It will be much better to answer the arguments whick have been nade, not against the Bible, but against its use in schools, instead of insiduously employing the exceptional act of one schaol board, ‘in order to inflame religious antipathies and sectarian jeslousies in all parts of a land once more happily restored to peace: The recollection of former disturbances which were raised by pestilent demagogues in a pretended zeal for the Bivle, ghould give the agitajors of the present day pause before they shall have succeeded in provoking a storm that ¢annot be eagily quelled.

If the experiment made in Cincinnati does not work well, or be repugnant to the majority, a remedy will be found by the electors of that city. The #fct is that of a majority, and cannot well e gainsaid /by those who are in the. habit of appeal‘ing to majorities. = For our own part, ‘where the Bible is now used in schools it “were injudicious to advocate its exclusion, and thus shock the sentiments! of the majority. Where not used (and there are many such localities), its adoption or rejection as a school book is an open question. But it has no relation with the' recognition or non-recognition of the Christian religion in the Constitufion. That is quite a difterent matter, = Wrhen the advocates of ths use of the Bible in schanls begin their argument by violently assuming that their opponents are/enemies of the Christian religion, they dfag the subjec*. into the region of invective ‘and denunciation, and afford yeason to suspect that they have no other ground. In: the meantime, if the Bible shall be temporarily exeluded from.the schools of Cincinnati, there yet remain the nursery, the family circle, the fire side, the prayer-mect-ing, the lecture-room and the Sunday school ; all of which afford ample opportunity to study-its impressive lessons, and the more they are studied .the less viotéxj; an:d rancorous will be t!;e secti;riaﬁ disputes which haye, becn engendered by the discassion which has arisen concerning its uis“elig’t‘hel Sioaly.

PREPARE THY HOUSE, Under the above caption, the Evans: ville Courier gives a timely admonition to the péople of the country who are soon to experience the fruits of radical financiering. The indications are very ‘clear that the present congress, in conjunction with a powerful administrative influence, will make the attempt to return to specie payments. ‘Gold has been steadily grinding. dewn, nntil it has reached a very low figure—l 24%. The people should watch their own households, and put things in order for the crash.— The cloud has been gathering slowly, but most strely, and its huge dimensions threaten o storm of tonrific force. All business will feel the influence alike:— We shall not be surprised to hear of frequent failures and suspensions in the near fature. Let business men be warned in time." A little prudence and toresight may materially lessen the dangers of the hour. ® :

_ Expenses of all kinds'should be brought 'wijhin the smallest compass, Purchases should be made tor eash, and in moderate amounts, The man who is out of debt wi_lé] have the best life preserver for himsclf and family. “Out of debt, out of danger,” is a good and wise motto. - Individuals owe it to themselves, and those dependent upon them for support, to curtail useless and extravagant outlays. If the whole - community will thus prepare, the force of the impending crash will be sensibly influenced. Our people cught; to be forewarned, and then, to some extent, they are forearmed. Business, affer a time, will accommodate itself to the new order of things. But, for a time—of how long duratien no one ¢an now predict—it will be crushed and crippled, and the people will understand and realize, as they have never before fully understood and realized, the full force and meaning of that phrase called “bard times.” =

The Cigcinnati Gazeite in a recent editorial reads Indiana radicalism a very oppbrtunq lecture, on the subject of the coming campaign. It recognizes the fact that the happy family in our commonwealth has been disturbed, recently, by questions of social and political etiguette, and the admission is made that “there remains a good deal of bad feeling,” which of course must not be permitted to crop out during the coming canvass. It says to the men of both factions, stand asirde‘, and let-men be nominated, who can command the full strength of the party.— Mhe awticlo scomvinmwon “The deourwrats will enter the campaign united. = Equally united. the republicans must enter it, if they succeed. * It will be a close contest, at least, and republicans have only to divide to fail.: To force upon the party, uqder such circumstances, men who are obnoxious to any considerable’ number would be an inexcusable and fatal blunder,” We fear the breach will do its work in spite of the Qasette. The admission from such & quarter that the democratic ‘prospects are so flattering should encoursge the fiiends to“t'he work. With a good ticket, and a spirited canvass; the victory is ours beyond question. . ;i .

_ PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. Vo the Senate and House of Representatives: In coming before yon for the first time as Chief Magistrate of this great nation, it is with gratitude to the Giver _of all good, for the many benefits we enjoy.-— Blessed with peace at home, and without ‘entangling alliances abroad to forebode trouble ; with a territory unsurpassed 1n fertility, of an area equal to the abundant support of five hundred millions of people, and abounding in every variety ‘of useful minerals, in quantity sufficient to supply the world for generations, with exuberant crops, with a variety of cli mate adapted to the production of every species of the earth’s richest fruits, and suited t 7 the habits, tastes and requirements of every living thing ; with a population of 40,000,000 free people all speaking one language, with facilities for every mortal to acquire an education; with institutions closing to none avenues to fame, or any blessing or fortune that may be ‘coveted; with freedom of pulpit, press, and the school, with a revenue flowing into the national treasury beyond the re quirements of government supply. Harmony is beirgrapidly restored within our own borders ; manufactures, hitherto unkoown in our country, are springing up in all directions, producing & degiee of national independence unequalled by that of any other power. These hlessings, and_ couutless others, are entrusted to your care, and mine for safe keeping ;ior the brief period of our tenure of ofce. .

. The work of restoring State governments loyal.to the Union, of protecting and fostering free labor and providing means for paying the interest on the public debt, has received ample attention from Congress, although your efforts have not met with the success, in all partienlars, that might have been desired, yet, on the whole, they have ‘been more suecessful than could have reasonably been anticipated.

The President speaks of Virginia baving complied 'with all the requirements of the reconstruction acts ; is net so well satisfied with Georgia for having excluded the uegro legislators, and suggests that steps be taken to furth-r “reconstruct” that State. Says the freedmen are mak ing rapid progress in learning. , The means provided for paying thé¢ interest on ' the public debt, with all other expenses of the govérnment, are more than ample. = The loss of our commerce is the only result of the rebellion which has not received sufficient attention from you. 'To this subject I call your carnest attention. I will not now isuggest plans by which this object may be effected, but will, if necessary, make itthe subject of a special message during the session of ‘Congress. ; v

The President recommends the admission of Mississippi and Texas into the Union ; although the result of the elections in those States is not known, he expresses the hope that their legislation will he satisfactory to Congress. Among the evils growing out of the rebellion and not yet' referred to, is that of an lirredeemable carréncy. It is an evil which, I hope, will receive your most -earnest attention. It is a duty and one of the highest duties of the government, to secure to the citizens a medium-- of ‘cxchange of fixed, unvarying value. R 9 y

. This implies a return to a specie basis, and no substitute for it can be devised. It should be commenced now, and reached at the earliest practicable moment, consistent witha fair regard to the interests of the debtor class. Tmmediate resump tion, if practicable, would not be desirable; it would compel the debtor class to pay beyond their contracts the premium on_gold at the date of their purchase, and would bring bankruptey and ruin to thousands, = -~ :

The fluctuations, however, in the paper value of.the measure et dll values, gold is detrimental to the interests .of trade: 't makes the man of business an involuntary gambler, for in all sales when future payment is to be made both par ties speculate as to what will be the value of the currency to be paid and received. It is to authorize the Treasury to redeem its own . paper at a fixed price, whenever presented, to withliold from circulation all such' carrency redcemed until sold again for gold, The vast resources of the nation, both developed and undeveloped, ought to make our credit the best on carth with a less burdea of taxation than the citizen has endured for six years past.-— The entire public debt could be paid in ten years, but it is not advisable that the people should now be taxed to pay it in that time. Year by year the ability to pay increases in a rapid ratio, but the burden of interest ought to be reduced as rapidly as it can be done without the violation of tho contract. The public debt is represented in a great part by bonds having from five to twenty and from’ten _to forty years to run, bearing interest at the rata of six per cent. and five per cent, respectively. It is optional with the Government to. pay their bondsat any period after’the® expiration of the last time mentioned upon their face. The time has already expired when ja great part of themi may be taken up, and the time is rapidly approaching when all may be: It is believed that all which are now due may be replaced by bonds bearing a rate of interest not exceeding four and a half per cent., and as rapidly as the remainder becomes due that they may be replaced in the same way. To accomplish this it may be necessary to authorize the interest to be paid, and the revenue from imports may be reduced safely from sixty to eighty millions per annum at once, and still be farther reduced from year to year as the resources ofthe country are developed. - fan ' : The report of the Secretary of the Treasury shows the receipts of the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1869, to be $370,943,747, and the ex: peuditures, includinginterest, “bounties, &c., to be $821,490,597. The estimates for the ensuing year are more favorable to the Goyngnment,' and will no doubt show a large decrease of the public debt. 'The receipts in the Treasury, beyond expenditures, have exceeded the amount necessary to place to the credit of the Sinking Fund, as. provided by law; .to lock up the surplus in the Treasury and withhold from circulation, would lead to such contraction of the currency as to cripple trade and seriously affect the prosperity of the country. Under these circumstances the: Secretary of the Treasury. and myself heartily concurred in the propriety of nsing ?ﬂ tll:e ,su'r’p}lins cu;rency_in the Treasury for the purchase of government bonds, thus r@@fcipg‘ the ‘i'hteég‘t‘wgi’nn Qeﬁt% the country and of submitting to Gongress the question of the dispbsis;on"tﬁbe ‘made of thy Sonda sa purchiased. | The bonds now held by the Treasury amount .to about $75,000,000, including those belonging to ﬂ??ﬁ}ﬁkl?ﬁjﬁ,’m‘gf I recommend that the whole be placed to the credit of the sinking fund.

‘ The people of the United ' States enter tain the same warm feelings and syfipathies for the people of Cuba, in their pending struggle that they manifested throughout the previous struggles be: tween Spain and former colonies in be- | half of the latter; but the contest at no | time assumed the conditions which amouunt ; to a war in the sense of intlernational war, or which would show the existence of a de facto pol'ﬁiical organization of the in surgents, suflicient to justify a recognition ‘of belligerency. The principle is maintained, however, that this nation is its own judge when to accord the rights. of belligerency either to a government that they believe to be oppressive, or to independent nations at war with eaeh other. The United States have no disposi- | tion to interfere with the’existing relations of Spain to her colonial possessions on this continent. | They believe that, in due time, Spam and other Eurepean powers will find] their interest in terminating these relations and estaly lishing their present deperdence as indet pendent pawers—members of the family of nations, K These dependencies are no longer regdarded as subject to tranfer Afrom one European power to another.— - When the present relation of eolonies | ceases,; they are 9 become independent powers, exercising the right of choice |.‘ and of self control in the determination - of their future condition and relations with other powers.

It is ' hoped that the good offices of the United States may yet prave advantageous for the sett'ement of this unhappy strife.— Mganwhile a number of illegal expedii tipns against Cuba have been broken up, I It bas been the endeavor of the administration to execute the neutrality laws in -oood faith, no matter how unpleasant the task, made sov by the suffering we have endured from lack of good | faith toward us by other nations. et . ~.The President next treats'of foreign affairs of minor importance. - Space does not permit us to publishh this portion of the message, nor would its publication prove of interest to the general reader. . On my assuming the responsibilities of chief magistrate of the United - States, it was with the conyiction that three things. were essential to its peace, prosperity, and fullest development. First among these -strict integrity in fulfilling all our obli gations. Secondly—To secure protection to the person and property of the citizens ‘of our common country wherever he may ' choose to rove, without reference to origi- | nal nationality, religion, color or politics, demanding of him only obedience to the ’ laws, and proper respect for the rights of others. Thirdly—The union of all the states,with equal rights [indestructible by {'any unconstitutional means. To secure the first of these, congress has taken two’ essential steps—first in declaring by joint res slution that the public debt should be paid, principal and interests, in coin ; and 'second, by providing the means for paying. These measures, however, could not | s cure the object desired, without a proper administration of the laws for the collection of the revenues, and the economical disbursement of them. To this subJject the administration bas most earnestly addressed itself with results, I believe, satisfactory to the country. There. has been no hesitation in clianging officials in order to sccure the cfficient execution of the laws—-sometimes, too, ‘where, in a mere party view, undesirable political results' were likely to follow for any hesi tation in sustaining ' efficient’ officials agaiust remonstrances wholly political. It may be well to mention here an emvarrassment poss:ble to arise from leaving onthe statute bouk the so called tenureof office acts, and to earnestly recommend their total repeal, It could not have been the intention ‘of the framers of the constitution, ‘when - providing that ap pointments made by the president should receive the consent of the senate, that the latter should haye the power to retain in office persons.placed there by federal appvintments,- against the will of the president. The law is inconsistent with a faithful and eflicient administration of the government. ‘W hat faith ean the executive put: in officials forced upon'him, and these too, whom ' he has suspended for reason ? : How will such officials be likely to serve an administration which ‘they know does not trustthem? For ‘the second reqnisite to our growthand prusperity, - time ‘and experience affirm that » humane administration of existing laws, amended from tinie to time'as they may prove meffective or - prove harsh and unnecessary, is probably all that. is required. The third cannot be attained by special legislation, but must be regarde% as fixed by the constitution itself, an g‘g{duany, acquiesced in by force of puh:lic opinion.

No matter what ought to. be the relations between such settlements and the aborigines, the fact is they do not harmonize well, and one or the other has to giveway in theend.: = | A system which looks to the extermination of the race, is too horrible for a nation toadopt, without entailing upon itself the wrath of all Christendom, and engenderjng in the citizen a disregard for human life and the rights of others dangerous to society. 1 see no substitute for such a system, exeept in placing all. the: Indians on the large reservations as rapidly as can be done, and giving them absolute protection there, as soon as they are fitted for it. Tbey should be induced to take their lands in general, and set up territorial govemment:? for their own protection. For full details on this subJect, Icall your. special attention to the reports of the sccretary of the interior and the commissioner of Indian affairs, . The report of the Secretary of War shows the expenditures of the War Department, for the year ending June 30th, 1869, to be $80,645,042, of which $23,872,310 was disbursed in payment of the debts contracted during the war, and is not chargeable to current army expenses. The estimate of $34,531,031 for the expenses of the army for the next fiscal yeat is a 3 low as it is believed can be relied on. The estimates of Bureau officers liave ‘been carefully scrutinized and reduced wherever it has been deemed practicable. If, however, the ‘condition of the cbuntry should be such by the beginning of the next fiscal year, as to admit of a greater concentration of troops, the appropriation asked for will not be expended. The appropriation cstimated for River and Harbor improvements and for Fortifications, are submitted seperately. ‘Whatever amount Congress may deem proper to appropriate fur these purposes, will be expended. ' The recommendation of the General of the Army that appropriations be made for the forts at Boston, Portland, New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans cand San Framcisco, if for no other, is concurred in: 1 also ask your special attention to the recommendation of the General commanding the Military Division of the Pacific, for the sale of the Seal Islands of St. Paul and St. George, Alaska Territo ry, and suggest that it either - be complied with, or that legislation be had for the protection of the seal' fisheries, from which a revenue should be derived.

The report of the Secretary of the Navy shows the condition of the navy when this administration came into office, and changes nade since. | | Strenuous efforts have been made to place as many vessels in. commission or, render them fit for service 1f required as possible and to substitute the sail for steam while cruising, thus materially reducing the expenses of the navy and ad ding grea'ly to its efliciency. Liooking to onr future I recommend a :liberal t‘.‘.()%ﬁ not extravagant policy toward that branch of the public service, The report of the Postmaster General furnishes a comprehensive exhibit of the operations of the postal service, and of the financial ‘condition of this part of the Post' Office ' Department. The ordinary postal revenue for the year ‘ending the 30th of June, 1869, amounted to $18,344,510, and the expenditures amounted to $23,683,131, showing an excess of exggn ditures over receipts of $5,353,820. he excess of expenditures over receipts for previous year amounted to $6,437,992. - The increase of revenues for 1869, over those of 1868, was $2,051,909; and the increase of expenditures was $966,533.— The increased revenues in 1869, exceeded the incrensed revenues in 1868 by $996,836; and the increased expenditures in 1868 was $2,527.570 less than the increas ¢d expenditures in 1867, showing by comparison this gratifying feature of improvement, that while the increase of expendi ture over the increase of receipts in 1868 was $2,439,5635, the increage of rTeceipts over the increase of expenditures in 1869 was $1,084 871. -

‘Your attention is particularly called to the recommendation ‘made, by the Postmaster General, ‘for' authority "o change the compensation to the main trunk railroad lines for their service in carrying the mails; for having post route maps executed ; for re-organizing and increasing the efficiency of the special agency service ; for increase. of the mail service on the Pacific ; and for establishing mail service under the flag of the Union on the Atlantic, and ‘most especially do Icall your attention to his recommendation for the. total abolition of the franking privilege, This is an abuse from whieh no one receives a commensu rate adyantage. It reduces the receipts | for the postal service from 25 to 30 per cent, and largely increases the services to be performed. - : : TG The report of the Secretary of the Interior shows that she quantity of publiclands disposed’ of during the year ending 30th of June, 1869, was 7,666,152 acres, exceeding that of the preceding year by 1,010, 409 aeres ; of this, 2,809,544 acres were sold for ‘cash and 2,737,865 acres entered ~undcr the homestead’ laws. The remainder wasgranted toaid in the construction of the work of internal improvenient approved: to the States asthe swawp land ‘ and, located ;warrants and scrip.. :'The -cash recelpts from all sources were $4,472,888, exceeding those of the preceding year $2,840,140. During the last fis: cal ‘year 28,196 names were - a Ided'to the pension‘rolls and 4,876 dropped therefrom, leaving at its close 187,963, The amount paid to pensioners; including the compensation of disbursing agents, was $28,422,884, an increase of $441,192 ;on that; of the " previous year. The munificence of Congress has been conspicuously, manifested: "in’its ‘legislation for the” soldiers and sailors who suffer’d in the recentstrug: gle to maintain unity that makes us one people ; the additions to the Pension Rolls of -each successive, year since the conelusion of hostilities result'in a great degree from the repeated amendments of the act of . tbe';gamvisipps Yo causes nat falling within its original scope.

Ina \ country so diversified in climates and soil . |as ours, and with a populatien so largely . idependent on agrieulture, the benefits ‘that can be conferred by properiy foster{ing this Bureau are incalculable -~ -~ 'a' I desire, respectfully, to call the atten‘tion of Congress to the inadeguate saila{ries of a number of the most important, ‘officers of the Government, in this Mes'sage. I will enumerate them, but wgl | specity only the Justices-of the Suprenge 4 Court. , No change has been made in thé§ salaries for fifteen years. Within that’ l}ytimc, the labors of the Court have large ° ly increased and the expenses'of living: bave at least doubled. During the same . time Congress has twice found it necessary to increase largely the compensation . of its own members, and the duty which. it owes to anether department of the government deserves and will undoubtedly #eeieve due consideration. . - - There are many subjects not alluded to in this message - which' might with pro-_ priety be introduced, but I alstain; believing pour patriotism and statemanship rwill snggest the topics and legislation most conducive to-the interests of the whole. people.
