Message. naourcWxauqf the Seaattmnd Bam of ReprtOur heartfelt gratitude la due to the Divine Being, who holds in his hands the destinies of nations, tor the continued bestowal, daring the last year, of countless blessings upon our We are at peace with all other nations. Our public credit has greatly improved, and Is, perhaps, now stronger than ever before. Abundant harvests have rewarded the labors of those who till the soil, our manufacturing Industries are reviving, and it is believed that general prosperity, which has been so long anxiously looked for, is at last within our reach. i ■

THE ItllOW FEVER. The enjoyment oil health by oar people generally has, however, been interrupted, daring the past season, by the prevalence of a fatal pestilence, the yellow lever.in some portions of the Southern States, creating an emergency which called for prompt and extraor dinary measures of relief. The disease appeared ' as an epidemic at New Orleans and at other places on the Lower Mississippi, soon after midsummer. It was rapidly spread hy fugitives from the Infected cities' and towns, and did not disappear until early in November. The States of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee have suffered severely. About one hundred thousand cases are believed to have occurred, of which about twenty thousand, according to intelligent estimates,proved fatal. It is impossible to estimate with any approach to accuracy the loss to the country occasioned by this epidemic. It is to be reckoned by the hundred millions of dollars. The suffering and destitution that resulted, excited the deepest sympathy in all parts of the Union. Physicians and nurses hastened from every quarter to the assistance of the afflicted communities. Voluntary contributions of money and supplies, in every needed form, were speedily and generously furnished. The Government was able to respond in some measure to the call for help, hy providing tents, medicines, and food for the sick and destitute, the requisite directions for the purpose being given, in the confident expectation that this action oi the Executive would receive the sanction of Congress. About eighteen hundred tents, and rations of the value of about twenty-five thousand dollars, were sent to cities and towns which applied for them, full details of which will be furnished to Congress by the proper Department. The fearful spread of this pestilence has awakened a very general public sentiment in favor of national sanitary administration, which shall not only control quarantine, but have the sanitary supervision of Internal commerce in times of epidemics, and hold an advisory relation to the State and municipal health authorities, with power to deal with whatever endangers the public health, and which the municipal and State authorities are unable to regulate. The National Quarantine act, approved April 29,18?*, which was passed too late in the last session of Congress to provide the means for carrying it into e actlcal operation during the past season, a step in the direction here indicated. In view of the necessity for the most effective measures, by quarantine and otherwise, for the protection of our sea-ports, and the Country generally, from this and other epidemics, it is recommended, that Congress give to .the whole subject earl} and careful consideration. THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS SOUTHERN STATES. IN THE The permanent pacification oi the country hy the complete protection of all citizens in every civil and political right continues to be ot paramount interest with the great body oi ourpeople. Every stepln this direction is welcomed with public approval, and every interruption of steady and uniform progress to the desired consummation awakens general uneasiness and t wide-Bpreadcondemnation TherecentCongressional elections have furnished a direct and trustworthy test of the advance thus far made in the practical establishment of the right of suffrage, secured by the Constitution to the liberated race in the Southern States. All disturbing Influences, real or imaginary, had been removed from all of these States. The three constitutional amendments. Which conferred freedom and equality of civil and political rights upon the colored people of the South, were adopted by the concurrent action of the great body of good citizens who maintained the authority of the National Government and the Integrity and perpetuity Of the Union at such a cost of treasure and life, as a wise and necessary embodiment in the organic law oi the just results of the war. The people of the former , slave-holding States accepted these results, and gave, In every practicable form, assurances that the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and laws passed in pursuance thereof, should, in good faith, be enforced, rigidly and impartially, in letter and spirit, to the end that the humblest citizen, without distinction of race or color, should, under them, receive full add equal protection in person and property anckin political rights and privileges. By these constitutional amendments, the Southern section of the Union obtained a large increase of political power in Congress and in the Electoral College, and the country justly expected that elections would proceed, as to the enfranchised race, upon the same circumstances of legal and constitutional freedom and protection which o obtained in all the other States of the Union. The friends of law and order looked forward to the conduct of these elections, as offering to the general judgment of the country an Important opportunity to measure the degree in wblcAthfe righto! suffrage mnlAve exercised bv the coioretTpeople .End would be respected by their fellow-citizens; but a more general enjoyment of freedom of suffrage by the colored people, and a more Just and gen- > erous protection of that freedom by the communities of which they form a put, were generally anticipated than the record of the election discloses. In Some of those States In which the colored people have been unable to make their opinions felt in the elections, the result is mainly due to influences not easily measured or remedied by legal protection ; but in the States of Louisiana and South i Carolina at large, and in some particular congression al districts outside of those States,the records of the elections seem to compel the conclusion that the lights of the colored voters have been overridden, and their participation in the elections not permitted to be

Wiuci gCUCI Ol Uf net). It will be for the Congress for which these elections were held, to make such examinations into their conduct as may be appropriate to determine the validity of the claims of members to their seats. In the meanwhile it becomes the duty of the Executive and Judicial Departments of the Government, each in its province, to inquire into and punish violations of the laws of the United States which have occurred. I can but repeat what I said in this connection in my last message, that whatever authority rests with me to this end I shall not hesitate to put forth, and I am unwilling to forego a renewed appeal to the legislatures, the courts, the executive authorities, and the people of the States where these wrongs have been perpetrated, to give their assistance towards bringing to Justice the offenders and preventing a repetition of the crimes. No means within my power will ran be spared to obtain a full and fair investigation of the alleged crimes, and to secure the conviction and Just punishment of the guilty. It is to be observed that the principal appropriation made for the Department of Justice at the last Bession contained the following clause: “ And for defraying the expenses which may be incurred in the enforcement of the act approved February twenty-eighth, eighteen hundred and seventy-one, entitled An act to amend an act approved May thirtieth, eighteen hundred and seventy, entitled An act to enforce the rights of citizens of the United States to vote in the several States of the Union, and for other purposes,’ or any acts amendatory thereof or supplementary thereU is the opinion of the Attorney-General that the expenses of these proceedings will. -—w — w vaj/vuuuo vs suooo UIUGUoUUlic3 TVAli largely exceed the amount which was thus ltmu iilAil onrl T Wivlw a n« SI A A_41____a_ ~v«vw» SU'B MUWUUt WlilUll \ ___ provided, and I rely confidently upon Congress to make adequate appropriate o*v,~ **u»/iiu«iA3 appiu^nations to onable the Executive Department to enfofte the laws. f respectfully urge upon your attention thst the congressional elections^ In every district, in a very Important sense, are Justly a matter of political interest and oonoern throughout the whole country.

Tlie general condi tion was reached that It Is necessary to maintain in the world the monetary functions of silver as well as of gold-, leaving the selection of the use of one or the other of these two mettle, or of both, to be made by each State. '« Congress having appropriated at Its last session the sum of $5^00,000 to pay the award, ol the Joint Commission at Halifax, If, after correspondence with the Iritish Government, on the subject of the conformity of the award to the requirements o:l the treaty and to the terms of the question thereby submitted to the Commission, th ; President shall deem it his duty to make the payment, communications upon these poin ts were addressed to the British Government through the legation of the United States at London. Failing to obtain tile concurrence of the British Government In the views of this Government respecting the award, 1 have deemed it ray duty to tender the sum named, within the year fixed by the treaty, accompanied by a notice oi the grounds of tl e payment, and a protest against uny other construction of the same. The correspondence upon this subject will be laid before you. The Spanish 'Jovernmeit has officially announced the termination of the insurrection in Cuba, and the restoration of peace throughout that island. Confident expectation* are expressed of a revival of trade and irosperity, which it is earnestly hoped may piove well founded. Numerous cl aims of A merican citizens for relief for injuries or resl oration of property have been among the incidents of longcontinued hcjstilii ies. Somo of these claims are in process of adjustment by Spain, and the others are promised early and careful

vim ismentuuu. The treaty made with Italy, fat regard to reciprocal consular privileges, has been duly rat tiled and proclaimed. No questions oE grave importance have arisen with any other of th a European powers. Toe Japanese Government has been desirous of a.revfcdonof such pi irts of its treaties with foreign powsrs as reli te to commerce, and,it is understood, has addressed to each of the treaty powers a request to open negotiations with thal view. The United States Government has beer inclined to regard the matter favorably. Whatever restrictions upon trade with Japan are fonnd injurious fc> that people can not bnt affect liiJuRonslv nations holding commercial Intel course wi'h them. Japan, iLfteralong period of secltislon, has within the past few years made rapid strides in the path of enlightenment and progress, and. not unreasonably, is looking forward to the time when her relations with the nations of Europe and America shall be assimilate-! to those which they hold with each other. A treaty looking to this end has been made, which will be submitted for the co nsideratlon of the Senate. Alter an Interval of several years, the Chinese Government has again sent envoys to the United States. They hitve been received, nnd a permanent; legation is now established here by that Government. It is not doubted that this stepwili.be of advantage to both nations In promoting friendly relations and removing caused of differ ;nre. The treaty with the Samoan Islands, having been duly ratified and accepted on the part of both Governments, Is now in op Bratton, and a survey and soundings of the harbor of PagoPago have been made by a naval vessel ol the United States, wi th a view of its occupation as a naval statio n, if fonnd desirable to the service. ' Since the resumption of diplomatic relations with Mexico, correspondence has been opened and still continues between the two Governments ujx>n the various questions which at one time seemed to endanger their relations. While no formal agreement has been reached as to the tro ibles on the border, much has been done to repress and diminish them. The effective force of United States troops on the Rio t rande, by a strict and faithful compliance with instructions, has done much to remove the sources of dispute, and it is now understood that a like force of Mexican troops on the other side of the river is also making an energetic movement against thB marauding Indian tribes. This Government looks with the greatest satisfaction upon every evidence of strength in the national authority of Mexico, and upon every effort put forth to prevent or to punish incursions upon our territory. Reluctant to assume any acidon or attitude in the control of those incuisions, by military movements acre as the border, not imperatively demanded lpr the protection of the lives and propertlraof our own citizens, I shall take the ear lieig Opportunity, consistent with the proper disotargo of this plain duty, to recognize the nMHlwKr the Mexican Government to restrain < our territory.

A boundary question between the Argentine Republic and Paraguay has been submitted bv those Governments for arbitration to the President of the United States, and I have, after careful examination, given a decision upon it. A naval expedition np the Amazon and Madeira Rivers has brought back information valuable both for scientific and commercial purpose s. A like expedition is about visiting the corn t of Africa and the Indian Ocean. The repoits of diplomatic and consular officers, in relation to the development of onr foreign commerce, have mrnished many facts that have proved of public interest, and hate stimulated to practical exertion th* enterprise of onr pc of,le.

UUK AATlUfiAL JflNm'KB. The report of the Seere tary of the Treasury furnishes a detailed statement of the operations ol that Department of the Government, and of the condition of the rmblle finances. The ordinary revenues from all sor ces for the fiscal year ended June 38,1878, irere $257,768,878.70; the ordinary expenditures for the same period, were $236,96*,326.80—leaving a surplus revenue for the year, of $20,799,551.90. The receipts for. the present fiscal year, ending June 30, 1878, actual and estimated, are as follows: Actual receipts for the first quarter commencing July 1,1878, $73,889,713.43; estimated receipts for the remaining three-' -.— -■ - $191,110,256.57; total quarters of the year, receipts for the current fiscal ye tual and estimated, 1264,500,000. acThe expenditures for die same period will be, actual and estimated, as follows: For the quarter commencing July 1,1878, actual expenditures, $73,3*6,573.27; and for the remaining three-quarter! of the year, the expenditures are estimated at .'366,756,426.73—making the total expenditures, $2*0,100,010, and leaving tin estimated surplus revenue, for the year ending June 30, 1879, of $24,400,000. The total receipts during the next fiscal year, ending June 30,1810, estimated according to existing laws, will be $264,500,000; and the estimated ordinary expenditures, for the same period, will be $26,320,412.68; leaving a surplus of $28,179,587.32 lor that year. In the foregoing statements of expenditures, actual and estimated, no amount Is allowed for the sinking-fund, provided for by the act approved Febru ary 25,1862, which reauires that one per cent, of the entire debt of he United States shaiThe purchased or paid within each fiscal year, to be set apart as a sinking fund. There has been, however, a substan tial comp lance with the conditions of the Jaw. By Its teims, the public debt should have been reduced, between 1862 and the close of the It St fiscal year, $518,361,806.28; the actual reduct ion of the ascertained debt, to that period, has been $720,644,739.61; being to excess of the reduction required by the sinking-fund act--$202,182.933.33. The amount ol the public debt, less cash to the Treasury,, November 1, 1878, was $2,024,200,08 ;. 18—a rec luctlo n, since the same date last year, of $23,150,617.3 >. The progress made daring the last year, to refunding the public debt at lower rates of Interest, is very gratify tog. The amount of 4 per cent, bondii sold during the present year prior to November 23,1878,in $100,270,900, and c per cent, bonds, commonly known as five-twenties, to cneqi ial amount, have been, or will be, redeemed at calls mature. It has been the polity of the Department to place toe 4 rer cent, bonds within easy reach of every clsizen who desires to Invest his savings, whether small or great, to these securities. The Iteoretary oi the Treasury recommends that the law be so modified.that small sums may tetovB8ted,and that through the post-offices, or other agents of the Government, the free rt op uutnnity may he given to all parts of too oorntry for such investThe best mode suggested Is,that the Depart- > authorix sd to issne certificates of dement be _ of the denomination of ten dollars, interest it toe rate of 3.65 per cent. per annum and «invei tible at any time with in one year after ;helr issue into t he four pci cent, bonds authorise! by toe Refunding act, and to he issued onlym exchange of United 8tatas notes sent to the Treasury by mall or otherwise. Booh ■ provision of law, sup ported by suitable regulations, would enable any person readly, v-lthlout cost or risk, to convert his monoy into an interest-bearing security of the U tdtec States, and toe money so received could be applied to toe redemption of six per cent, bonds. The coinage of gole during toe last fiscal s $52,798,180. Phe coinage of silver _ . under tie ac t passed February 28, 1878, amounted, on ton 83dof November, 1878, year wi dollars. to $19,814,550, of which amount $4,984,947 Is in circulation, and the hi dance, $14,829,60S, Is still to toe possession of tie Government. With views unchanged with regard'to too act under which the coinage of silver pro ceeds.lt has been toe purpose of toe Secretary faithfully to execute 1 ho law, and to afford a fair triafto the m east re. In toe present financial condition of the country, ! am persualecl that toe welfare of legitimate business itnd industry of every, description will he best promoted by abstaining from all attempts to make radical; to theedrtlng financial legislation. Dot it be understood that during toe coming year the business of the Courtly will be un disturbed by gov< iron ental interierenoe with the laws sffectlnf it, I md we may confidently expect thatthereao motion of specie pay meats, which will take place at the appointed time, will be successfully and easily maintained, and that it will be followed by it healthful and enduring revival of business -of time, the tots t om people, and the bonne) •

The report of the Secretary of the Navy ■hows that the Kayybas Improved during the last fiscal year. Work has been done on seventy-five vessels, ten of which have been thoroughly repaired and ihade ready for sea. Two others are in rapid progress towards completion. The total expenditures of the year, including the amount appropriated for the deficiencies of the previous year, were $17,468,m& The actual expenses chargeable 'to the year, exclusive of theses deficiencies, were S13JS06.914.09. or $767,199.18 less than those of the previous year, and $4,938,677.74 less than the expenses. Including the deficiencies. The estimates for the fiscal year ending June SO, 1880, are $14,662,381.45—exceeding the appropriations of the present year only $33,949.75; which excess In the aadt 1s occasioned Ire the__ the Karine Corps, as explained of tile Naval . report, the appropriations tor the present fiscal year are $14^38,431.70, which, in the opinion of the Secretary, will he ample for all the current expenses of the Department during the year. The amount drawn from the Treasury from July 1. to November 1,1878, is $4,746,544.14, of which $70,960.75 has Keen refunded, leaving as the expc ,diture'for that period $4,6^9,563.39, or $520,859.54 less than the corresponding period of the la^fiscal year. POSTAL AFFAIRS. g The report of the Postmaster-General embraces a detailed statement of the operations of the Post-office Department. The expenditures of that Department for the fiscal year ended June 36, 1878, were $34,165,084.49. The receipts, including sales of stamps, moneyorder business, and official stamps, were $39,277,516.95. The sum of $390,436.90, included In the foregoing statement of expenditures, is chargeable to preceding years, so that the actual expenditures for the fiscal year ended Jnne 30, 1878, are $33,871,647.50. The amount drawn from the Treasury on appropriations, in addition to the revenues of the Department, was $5,307,653.83. The expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30,1880, are estimated at $38,571,900, audl the receipts from all sources at $30,664,023.50, leaving a deficiency to be appropriated out of tbo Treasury of $5,907,876.10. The report calls attention to tbe iact that the compensation of postmasters and of railroads for carrying the mail is regulated by law, and that tile failure of Congress to appropriate the a mounts required for these purposes does not relieve the Government ol responsibility, but n ecessarily increases the deficiency bills which Congress will be called upon to pass. In providing for tbe postal service, the following questions are presented: Should Congress annually appropriate a sum tor its expenses largely in excess of its revenues, or should such rates of postage be established as will make tbe Department self-sustaining? Should the postil service be reduced by excluding from tie mails, matter which does not pay Its way? Should tbe number of post - route!! be diminished? Should other methods be adopted which will increase tbe revenues or diminish the expenses of the postal service? The International Postal Congress, which met at Paris May 1, 1878, and continued in session until June 1 of the same year, was composed of delegates from nearly all the etvfnked countries of the world. It adopted a new convention, to take the place of the treaty Concluded at Berne October 9, 1874; which goes into effect on the 1st of April, 1879, between the countries whose delegates have signed it. It was ratified and approved, by and with the consent of the President, August 13, 1878. A synopsis of this Universal Postal Convention will be found in the report of the Postmaster-General, and the full text in the appendix thereto. In its origin the Postal Union comprised twenty-three conntries and colonies, with a population ot three hundred and fifty millions of people. On ti e 1st of April next it will comprise for-ty-three countries and colonies, with a populeaen et inqre thar.wCTinrigiil antrithy millions of people, and will soon, by the accession of the few remaining countries and colonies which maintain organized postal services, constitute, in fact, ns well as in name, as Its new title Indicates, a Universal Union, regulating, upon a uniform basis of cheap postage-rates, the postal intercourse between all civilized nations. Some embarrassment has arisen out ot the comff et between the customs laws of this country and the provisions of the Postal Convention, in regard to the transmission of by midi. It Is hoped that Congress will be able lo devise some means of leconeiling the difficulties which have thus been created, so as to do Justice to all parties involved. ' THE COURTS.

xai! business ol the Supreme Court, ana ol the courts in many of the circuits, has increased to such an extent during the past years that additional legislation & imperative to relieve and prevent the delay of . Justice, and possible oppression to suitors, which is thus occasioned. The encumbered condition of these dockets is presented anew in the report of the Attorney-General, and the remedy suggested is earnestly urged for Congressional action. The creation of additional circuit Judges, as proposed, would afford a complete remedy, and would involve an expense—at the present rate of salaries— Of not more than $60,000 a year. , ! OUK INDIAN TROUBLES. The annual reports of the Secretary of the Interior and of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, present an elaborate account of the present condition of the Indian tribes, and of that branch of the public service which ministers to their interests. While the conduct of the Indians, generally, has been orderly, and their relations with their neighbors friendly and peaceful, two local disturbances have occurred, which were deplorable in their character, hut remained, happily, confined to a comparatively small number of Indians. The discontent among the Bannocks, which led first to some acts of violence on the part of some members of the tribe and finally to the outbreak, appears to have been caused by tin inefficiency of food on the reservation, and this insufficiency to have been owing to the in adequacy of the appropriations, made by Congress, to the wants of the Indians, at a time when the Indians were prevented from supplying the deficiency by hunting. After an arduous pursuit bv the troops of the United States, and several engagements, the hostile Indians were reduced to subjection, and the larger part of them surrendered themselves as prisoners. In this connection, I desire to call attention to the recommendation made by the Secretary of the Interior, that a suflic ent lund be placed at the disposal of the Executive, to be used, with proper accountability, at discretion, in sudden emergencies of the Indian service. The other case ot disturbance was that of a hand of Northern Cheyennes who suddenly left their reservation in the Indian Territory and marched rapidly through the States of Kansas and Nebraska In thedlrection of their old hunting-grounds, committing murders and other crimes on their way. From documents accompanying the report: of the Secretary of the Interior, it appears that this disorderly band was as fully supplied wi th the necessaries of life as the 4,700 other Indians who remained quietly on the reservation, ind that the disturbance was caused by me n of a restless and mischievous disposition among the Indians themselves. Almost the whole of this band have surrendered to the i Sioux they had been in friend-, _ held t hem as prisoners and_ u p to the officers of the United States, thus giving new proof of the loyal spirit which, alarming rumors to the contrary notwithstanding, they have uniformly showed ever since the wishes they expressed at the eountffi of September, 1877, had been compiled with. Both the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of War unite in the redommendatton that provision be made by Congress for the oi-gamzation of a corps of mounted "In(Uan auxiliaries/* to be under the control of the Army, and to be used for the purpose of keeping the Indians on their reservations or repressing disturbance on their part. I earnestly concur in this recommendation. It is believed that the organizaBon of such a body of Indian cavalry, receiving a moderate pay from7 the Government, would considerably weaken element among the Indians, by withekmwing from it a number of young men ami lilting them congenial employment undottiie Government, It being a matter of experience that Indians in our service almost without exception are faithful in the nerfoimunee of the duties assigned to them. oman an -—44—-*■* * — the for: ____ time* found Insufficient.

The question, whether a change in the control of the Indian service should he made.

to a committee for inquiry and report. Without desiring to anticipate that report. I ventnre to express the hope that, in the decision of so important a question, the views expressed above may not be lost sight of. and that the decision, whatever it may be, will arrest farther agitation of this subject, such agitation being apt to produce a disturbing effect upon the service as well as on the Indilnthe<enrollment of the bill appropriations for sundry civil expenses, at the last session of Congress, that portion which provided for the continuation of the Hot Springs Commission was omitted. As the commission had completed the work of taking testimony on the many conflicting claims, the suspension of their labors, before determining the rights of clalmantsrAhreatehed, for a time, to embarrass the intents, not only Of the Government, but also of el large number of the citizens of Hot SJSHngs, who were waiting for final action on their claims be-, fore beginning contemplated improvements. In order to prevent serions difficulties, which were apprehended, and at the solicitation of many leading citizens of Hot Springs, and others interested in the welfare of the town, the Secretary of the Interior was authorized to request the late commissioners to take charge of the records of their proceedings, and to perform such workas could properly be done by them andre suchcircumstances.to facilitate the future adjudication of the claims at an early day, and to preserve the status of the claimants until their rights should be finally determined. The late commissioners complied with that request, and report that the testimony, in all the cases, has been written out, examined, briefed, and so arranged aa to facilitate an early settlement when authorized by law. It is recommended that the requisite authority be given at as early a day & the session as possible, and that a fair compensation be allowed the late commissioners for the expense incurred and the labor performed by them since Hie 25th of June last. PRESERVATION Ok FOREST 8I invite the attention of Congress to the recommendations made by the Secretary of the Interior with regard to the preservation of the timber on the public lands of the United States. The protection of the public property is one of the first duties of the Government. The Department of the Interior should, therefore, ibe enabled by sufficient appropriations to enforce the laws in that respect. But this matter appears still more important as a question of public economy. The rapid destruction of our forests Is an evil /naught with the gravest in the mountainous . . slopes,once denuded of theiri trees, will remain so forever. There the injury, once done, can not be repaired. I fully concur with the Secretary of the Interior in the opinion that, for this reason, legislation toucnllig-the public timber in the mountainous States ana Territories of the West, should be especially well considered, and that existing lawp, in which the destruction of the forests is not sufficiently guarded against, should be speedily modlned.iA general law concerning this important subject appears to me to be a matter of urgent public necessity. OCR AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS From the organization of the Government, the Importance of encouraging, by all possible means, the increase of our agricultural productions has been acknowledged and urged upon the attention of Congress and the people as the sorest and readiest means of increasing our substantial and enduring prosperity. The words of Washington are as applicable to-day as when,in his eighth annual message, he said: "It Is not to be donbted that, with reference either to individual or national welfare, agriculture is of primary importance. In proportion as nations advance in population and other circumstances of maturity, this truth becomes more apparent, and renders the cultivation of the soil more and more an object of public patronage. Institutions for promoting it grow igi, supported by Among the means wh _ ed to this end, none have been attended with greater success than the establishment of boards composed of proper characters, charged with collecting and diffusing information, and enabled, by premiums and small pecuniary aids, to encourage and assist the spirit of discovery and improvement, this species of establishment contributing doubly to tbe increase of improvement by stiHftlatlng to enterprise and experiment, and by drawing to a common center the results everywhere of individual skill and observation, and spreading them thence over the whole Nation. Experience accordingly hath shown that they are very cheap instruments of bn

IUC1100 liaMUUOl U*31ACAA»(. The (treat preponderance oi the agricultural over any other-Interest In the United States, entitles It to all the consideration claimed for it by Washington. About onehall of the population of the United States is engaged in agriculture. The value of the ag-. ricultural products of the United States, for the year 1878, Is estimated at three thousand millions of dollars. The exports of agricultural products for the year 1877, as appears from the report of the Bureau of Statistics, were five hundred and twenty-four millions of dollars. The great extent of our country, with its diversity of soil and climate, enables ns to produce within our own borders, and by our own labor, not only the necessaries but most of the luxuries that are consumed in civilized countries. Tet, notwithstanding our advantages of soil, climate, and intercommunication, it appears, from the statistical statements in the report of the Commissioner of Agriculture, that we import annually from foreign lands many millions of dollars’ worth of agricultural products which could be raised in our own country. Numerous questions arise in the practice of advanced agriculture which can only be answered by experiments, often costly and sometimes fruitless, which are beyond the means of private individuals, and are a Just proper charge on the whole nation for the benefit of the nation. It is good policy, especially in times of depression and uncertainty in other business pursuits, with a vast area of uncultivated, and hence unproductive territory, wisely opened to homestead settlement, to encourage, by every proper and legitimate means, the occupation ana tillage of the soil. The efforts of the Department of Agriculture to stimulate old and introduce new agrlcultual industries, to improve the quality and increase the quantity of our products, to determine the value of old or establish the importance of new methods Of culture, are .worthy of your careful and favorable nsideration and assistance by such appropriations of money and enlargement of facilities as may seem to be demanded by the present favorable conditions for the growth and rapid development of this important inThe abuse of animals in transit is widely attracting public attention. A national convention of societies specially interested in the subject has recently met at Baltimore, and the fact developed, both in regard to cruelties to animals and the effect of such cruelties upon the public health, would seem to demand the careful consideration of Congress, and the enactment of more efficient laws for the prevention of these abuses. BDUCATIOJAL MATTERS. The report of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Education shows very gratifying pror, inalltheingress throughout the country,_ terests committed to the care of this important office. The report is especially encouraging with respect to the extension of the advantages of the common-school system, in sections of the country where the general enjoyment of the privilege of free schools Is not yet attained. To education more than to any other agency we are to look, as the resource for the advancement of the people, the requisite knowledge and appreciation of their rights and responsibilities -as- citizens, and I desire to repeat the suggestion contained in my former message in behalf of the enactment of appropriate measures by Congress for the purpose of supplementing, with national aid, the local systems of education in the several States. Adequate accommodations for the library, which is overgrowing the cap the rooms now occupied at the L should be provided without further_ This invaluable collection of books, manuscripts, and illustrative art, has grown to such proportions, in connection with the copyright system of the country, as to demand the prompt and careful attention of Congress to save it from injury in its present crowded and insufficient quarters. As this library is national in its character, and must,: from the nature of the case, increase even more rapidly in the future than in the past, it can not be doubted that the people will sanction any wise expenditure to pieeerve Ik and to enlarge its usefulness. The appeal of the Begemts of Am Smithsonian Institution for the means to organise, exhibit and make available lor the pubtie benefit the articles now stored away belonging to the National Museum, I heartily recommend to your favorable consideration. lUSTRICT OP COLUMBIA. invtuU a°the°* c£S8T “of river-front of the City of Washington.

The examination and the sermon were both satisfactory. The candidate retired, and the Moderator said: •• I feel compelled to say that the sermon which the young man has preached is not his own. It is taken from an old volume of sermons, Long out of print. Where he found it I do not know. I supposed the only copy of the volume to be fonnd was in my library, and the candidate has had no access to that.” The young man was called in and asked if the sermon he had preached was' his own. “ No,” he frankly said. ** I was pressed for time, and could not make a sermon in season. The sermon I preached was one which I heard Principal Robinson preach some time ago. I took notes of it and liked it so well that I wrote it out from memory and have preached it to-day.” Nothing was said; there was nothing to be said! —In view of the many abortive attempts of Eastern boys to go West, in murderous pursuit of Indians and buffalo, a revised edition of the lexioon of youth is imperatively necessary.—Danbury News. —Oh, ska/, the maiden eiied—probably the poor thing was laced too tight.

Gfeatfeme*—I cams to Iowa twenty-five years ago to-day, and shortly afterwards bought a No. 4 Charter Oak, which, I may almost say, has never been cold since it was first set up. It has cooked 27,388 meals, Including 25,000 lbs. of steaks, 4,000 lbs. of roasts, 100 turkeys, BOO bushels of potatoes, baked 18,000 loaves of bread, 10,000 pies and cakes, and other sundries sufficient to run a camp meeting all summer; and this same Charter Oak Stove is w good to-day, and Just as capable of continuing 25 years longer, as when first purchased. It has never had a plate broken or renewed, a door out of order, or even a crack .save and except a small check in the sliding damper in front at the doors. Now, -a man’s family grows some in 26 years, especially 1 f his name is Smith, and I want a larger Charter Oak Stove. What do you say, gentlemen? Yours truly, WILSON T. SMITH.

The new bonnet is purchased and fifty other feminine necessarita in the form ol ribbons, laces, brooches, etc. Meanwhile the lady’s face becomes every day paler and thinner, and her body weaker, until disease has gained so firm a foothold in her system, that the most thorough, and ofttimes a long and tedious, course of treatment is necessary to restore her to health.
