The rciKrt ot,tha. PofctuiaHter-Gonural, liern with tnuiBmlttfwl, fcives a full history of the workings of the department for the year jnwt passed. It will be observed that the deficiency to be Kupplied from the Kenezal treasury is in.creased over the amount required for the preceding year. ' In a country so vast in arenas the United States, with large portions sparsely .settled, it must be expected that this important service will be more or lesaa- burden upon the treasury for many years to ooute, but there is no branch of the public service which interests the whole people more than that of cheap iand rapid transmission of the mails. The commercial advantages to be gained by a direct fineot American steamers to the South American States, will by far outweigh the expense of service. Bv an act of Congress, approved March 3, 1875, almost all matter, whether properly mail matter not, may be sent any distance .through the mails, in packages not exceeding fvur pounds in weight, for the sum of 16 cents per pound. Ho far as the transmission of real mail matter goes, , this wpaUl, eein. .entirely proper; but I suggest tha the law be so amended aa, to exclude from the mails merchandise ol all descriptions, and limit this transportation to all articles enumerated, and which may be classed as mail matter proper. ; . m -l TUBUCKEUU. ' ' ' ).'". ifi". The discovery of gold in the Black Bills, a portion of (he Sionx reservation, has had the effect to induce a large emigration of miners to that point. Thus far, the enorts to protect the treaty rights of title Indians of that section has been successful : tint the next year will certainly witness a large increase of sneh emigration. The negotiations for the relinquishment of the gold fields having failed, it will be necessary for Congress to adopt some measures to relieve the emlmrrasBinent growing sui of "the causes named. The Kecretaryof the-XateViol' suggests that' the supplies now appropriated for the sustenance of that people, being no longer obligatory nnder the treaty of 1HBK, but sim" ply a gratuity, may be issued or withheld at Lin diHcmtion. - .'-..'.'"' in-dian TEniirroav. ,'' . The condition of. the, Indian Territory, to which I have referred ia several of my former annual messages, remains ' practically unchanged. The Secretary 4of. the Interior has taken measures to obtain a ,uJJ report of the romirtmn of that Territory,' fctnl -will make it ' the snbject of a special report at an early day.

Offce shows that there were &4."iu,ol acres tena-dtapoeed. ef during thia than during hist year. More than one-half of thutdeui anse waa in lands disposed of under the homestead and timber culture laws. The canse of this decrease is supposed to be found in the grasshopper scourge and the drougths, which- prevailed so extensively in some of the frontier States and Territories during that time as to dlsconrage- and deter entries by actual settlers. ' The cash receipts were lens Caoit than during the preceding year. The entire surveyed area of the public domain is 6otUi,UM acres, of which 26,U7?,il acres were surveyed during the past vear. leaving 1.154.471.7C.-2 acres still nnsurveyed. The report of the Commisaioner presents many interesting suggeatiOfcB In regard B the management and d Vi; nosl Lien trf the tnfbhc domain and the modification of existing laws, the apparent importance a', which should insure for . then the careful consideration of Congress-. The number of pensioners still continue to decrease, the highest nomber' having 'been reached during the.jear wnding-. jqne 30, lH7:i. During the last yearll.557 names were added to the rolls, ana4.977 were dropped therefrom, showing a net decrease ef IJki) ; but while the number of pensioners has decreased the annual amount due en the pension rolls has increased 1,473,313. This is caused by the great increased average rate of pensions, which, by the liberal legislation of Congress increased from 00.ln 1NT2, to' .! 33.91 in X7, to each m--valid pensioner, an increase in the average rate of fifteen per eens. ' in the three years. During the year ending June 30, 1KT.1. tnere was paid on account of pensions, including1 the expenses of disbursement, ').iK3Jl. being .ilO.Wi'i less than was paid the preceding year. ims redaction m amount or expenditures was produced by the decrease in the amount of arrearages due on allowed claims, and on pensions, the rate of which was increased by the legislation of the preceding seesinnof Congress. At the close of the last fiscal year there were on the pension rolls mn,21 iersons, of whom -ilOkki were army pensioners IU,47H being inva'jds, and 10433 widows and deitendent relatives ; 3.4dll were navy pensioners of whom ljfclb were invalids, and 1,781 widows and dependent relatives; '21,08 were pensioners of the war of In 1:2, 15.875 of whom were survivors, and 5, lt'H were widows. It is estimated that 29-3:i5,0O0 will be required for the payment of pensions for the next fls al year, an amount 4x,U0 less than the estimates for the present year. GEOLOGICAL EXPLOBATiOIfS. The geological explorations have been prose cuted with energy during the year, covering an area of about 40.00 square miles, in tne Territories of Colorado, Utah and New Mexico, developing the agricultural and mineral resources, and furnishing interesting scientific and topographical details of that region. 1 " ' TTTK INDIANS. . ' The method for the treatment of the Indians. adopted at the beginning of my first term, has tteen steadily pursued, and with satisfactory and encouraging result. : It has been nredaotive of evident improvement in the eoniution of that race, and will be continued, with only such modifications as further experience may indicate to be necessary. , . . ; . - - tmm cmimsnnAtz ' - . - The powers oi Knrope, almost withontexception. many of the Honth American States, and even the more distant Eastern Powers, have manifested their friendly sentiments toward the United States, and the interest of the world in our progress, by taking steps to join with us in celebrating the Centennial of the nation, and I strongly recommend that a more national importance be given to this exhibition by such legislation and by such appropriations as will insure its success. Its value in bringing to our shores innumerable works of art and skill, the commingling of the citizens of foreign countries and our own. and the interchange of ideas and manufactures, will far eaceed any neuuiary outlay we may make." The Board heretofore appointed to take charge of the articles and materials pertaining to the War, the Navy, the Treasury, the Interior and the Postoflice leartiieutH. and the Department of Agriculture, tlie Smithsonian Institute, and the .emuL8iMier of tood-fisu, to be contribn ted nnder the legislation of the last session to the International Exhibition, to be held at Philadelphia during the centennial year. lK7ti, has been diligent in the discharge of the duties which have devolved on it, and the preparations so far made with the means at command. .give assurance that the governmental oontriuuuon will De made one of the marked charac teristics of the exhibition. The Board has ob served commendable economy in the matter of tne erection of buddings for the governmental exhibition, the expense of which, it is esti mated, will not exceed say fUJu. This amount has been withdrawn, under the law, from the appropriations oi nve ol the principal depart ments, which leaves .some of these departments without sufficient means to render their respective practical exhibits complete and satisfactory. The exhibition being an international one, nd the government being a volun tary contributor, it is my opinion that its contribution should be of 'a-character in qnalitv and extent to sustain the dignitv and credit of so distinguished acontnbutor. The advantages cwunuy oi a creaitaote mspiny are, in an International point of view, of the first importance ; while an indifferent or nnereditable parKclastion by the government would be humiliating to the patriotic feelings of onr people themselves. I commend the estimates of the Moard for the necessary additional approprinteons to 1fce favorable consideration of Conpress. ... i . ...--. POLTGAJfY IS UTAH.

While "this is being done, I invite the attention of Congress to another, though perhaps no less an evil, the importation of Chinese women, but few of whom are brought to our shares to pursue honorable or useful occupations... . - .. THK PUBLIC I. Aims. Observations while visiting the Territories of Wyoming, i:tah and Colorado, during the past autumn, convinced me that the existing laws regulating the disposition of public lands, timber, etc., and prolall the raining laws themselves, arc rvlHiye, and shoald be carefully autotidedl aa4 at an early day.; In territory whetetb itfvatn of the soil can only te followed W Wiiaticm it is not practicable : tfedf la rids earl orifvoe-used as pastures, and thia only where stock can "reach water to quench its thirst. These lands cannot be governed by the same laws as to entries with lands verv acre of which is an independent estate of itself. The lands muHt be held in larger quantities to justify the expense of conducting water upon it to make it fruitful, or to justify utilizing it as pasture. The timber in most of

the Territories is principally confined to the mountain, regions which are held for entry in small Quantities onlv. and as mineral lands. The timber is the property of the United States, for the diposa of which there is now no ade- 1 quate law. The settler must become a consumer of this timber, whether he lives upon the plains or engages in working the mines ; 1 hence every man becomes either a trespasser himselt r .knowingly at patron of trespassers. My oppurtimtit3So bm-rvation were not sufficient o justify' me in recommending specific legislation on these subjects, but I do recommend that a joint committee cf the two houses Of Congress, sufficiently large to be divided into sub-committees, be organized to visit all the mining States and Territories, during tne coming summer, and that the committee shall report to Congress at the next session such laws or amendments to laws as it may deem necessary to best secure the interests of the government and the people of these territories who are doing so much for their development, i am sure the citizens occupying the Territories described do not wish to be trespassers, no will they be if legal ways are provided for them to become ewers -of these actual necessities of then- position, ,- . .. BKCAPITCLATIOX. As this will be the last annual message which I shall hate the honor of transmitting to Congress before my successor is chosen, I will repeat or recapitulate the questions which I deem of vital importance, that should be legislated npon and settled this session : First. That the States shall be required to affisrd the opportunity of a good commonschool education to every child within their li mits. Sectnul. That no sectarian tenets shall ever be taught in any school supported in whole or iu irt by the: State, or Nation, or by the proceeds of any tax levied upon any community ; making education compulsory, so far as to deprive all ersons who cannot read and write from becoming voters alter the year 18t, disfranchising none, however, on grounds of illiteracy who may be voters at the time this amendment takes effect. Thinl. iec litre the church and state forever separate and distinct, but each free within its proper sphere, and that all church property shall bear its own proHrtion of taxes, i'oarih. Drive out licensed immorality, such as polygamy and the importation of women for illegitimate purposes. To recur again to the Centennial year : It would seem that now, when we are about to begin the second century of our national existence, would be the most fitting time for these reforms. ' Fifth. Enact such laws as will secure a speedy return to a sound currency, such as will command the respect of the world. Believing that these views will commend themselves to the great majority of the right thinking, patriotic citizens of the United States I submit them respectfully to tJongress. V. S. GKANT.

Permit me to say a few words in explanation of the plans for representing the educational facilities and products of Indiana at the Centennial Expobition. The various departments and buildings have already been described in the public prints. With only one of them are we concerned at present the main building. This building is set apart for three departments, viz.: 1. Mining and .Metallurgy. .2. Manufactures. 3. One called Education and Science, which will show the intellectual progress of the different nations. This great building is 1876 feet long, and has two aisles, lengthwise and across, each 100 feet broad. . The three departments are arranged in this order: The display of the products of mines will occupy space along the walls of the building; the department of Education and Science will occupy space near and bordering on the aisles; the manufactures between these two departments. The various nations are to have sections running across these departments, thus bringing their education and science into full view near the broad passage-ways, and face to face with one another. .; The four corners at the intersection of the aisles, are to be assigned to the four leading nations of the earth, namely Great Britain, France, Germany, and the United States. Our educational system will be thus brought into contrast with that of Prussia, which has been the wonder and pride of Europe Thus will be afforded an op portunity to judge which is the best the typical monarchical system or the typical republican. The United States section will be divided into sub-sections, appropriated for each State. . The question is asked, how can the educational system of a State be represented? This question will be briefly answered by telling something of the general plans for the representation of our own State. I. A history of the origin, progress, and condition of our educational system. Bound volumes of School Reports. After the close of the Exposition, these documents will be distributed to the State Libraries in this coun try, and to educational institutions of foreign countries. II. Plans of school buildings now in use in cities, towns, and districts. Plans of colleges and normal schools. Plans of buildings to be erected. Hi. statistical charts showing m figures the conditions of schools at successive periods during the last twenty-five years, in such items as the number of pupils attending, the num ber of teachers, the value of buildings, and of aparatus, etc. IV. Photographic views of school buildings and grounds, thus giving in a panoramic review the facilities of our State, so far as buildings are con cerned. V. The ordinary products of the schools, such as specimens of drawing, penmanship and examination papers. By a resolution of the National Teachers' Association, these products will be prepared early in 1876, under rules and regulations prescribed by a committee appointed by that body,. VI. Special products, such as paintings, models of machinery, cabinets and specimens, all prepared by pupils, etc. . - - To defray the expense of this exhibit, the Centennial Finance Committee of Indiana, have agreed to appropriate one-tenth of all the money raised to pay for Indiana's share in the Exposition. The educational men and women of the State have been directly appealed to by the State Board of Education, and have determined to do their full share to raise the fund and not be pensioners on the liberality and enterprise of other classes of citizens. The schools of Richmond are to take part in the efforts, and for weeks past, have been preparing an entertainment which will be given at Lyceum Hall, on the evenings of Mondav and Tuesday, December 13th and 14th. The charming little cantata of Laila will be produced under the efficient management of Prof. Cole. rom tne cnaraeter or the piece selected, the talents of the performers, the thorough preparation, and the ability of the director, the citizens of Rich mond and vicinity may be assured that their time and money will be well spent in attending. Let the entertainment le well patronized. Indiana cannot afford to be splendidly represented in her material condition, and fall short in intellectual display. J. C. M. . .

A shooting match was had at Centreville,, last Saturday, between the Richmond and Centreville Rifle Clubs. The Richmond club was represented by Messrs. Wm. Burgess, Alonzo Carey, J. R. Brumfiel, John Jones, Jas. Connor, Robert Connolly, and Robert Brown. The Centreville club were all on hand. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the number of spectators was not as' large as was expected. Another circumstance to diminish the attendance was the fox hunt, which is in progress there. "Some fine shooting was done, and five matches were had. The distance was 60 yards, and two shots were allowed. The premiums were won by the following parties: - First match J. R. Brumfiel, 1st; Alonzo Carey, 2d. . . ,. Second match J. R. Brumfiel, 1st; R. Brown, 2d. Third match R. Brown, 1st. Eli E. Endsley, 2d. - - ' -'--'' Fourth match Oliver Brumfiel, 1st; Eli Endsley, 2d. Fifth match William Burgess, 1st; Oliver Brumfiel, 2d; J. R. Brumfiel, 3d, The next match is to be given by the Richmond club, and takes place on the bank of the river just above the bridge, next Saturday. Premiums will be all cask,' and some good shooting may be expected. No doubt a large number of spectators will be present. - The Richmond club intend taking other grounds soon, in the neighborhood of the toll-gate, west of the city. A small house, fifteen feet square, will be erected on the premises for the comfort of - those attending ; the matches. Through the kindness of Mr. Charles lligbv, of this city, a member of the American Club, we are able to give the score of a match "at New Ulm Park, on Thanksgiving day. Maj. Henry Ful ton, of the American Team, was pres ent, but shot under the disadvantage of using cartridges of too light calibre for his ritte, giving him great uncer tainty. Capt. Wm. Erckhardt was present, and made the three lest consecu tive shots ever made on the grounds. A. Myer, of Kansas Citv, was present. The sport lasted from 2 o'clock until dunk. " ; In the first match seven entries were made, three shots to decide. The score stood as follows: Capt. Erckhardt 25, 23, 22, making a total of 70 aiaj. . r uiton, on; m. summons, 55; A. Aleyer, 44; (Uapt. t . Hopkins, 49; A Burvenick, 47; Charles Highy, 40. 1 ' In the second match Capt. Hopkins won by a score of 44 in two shots, over nine competitors; A. Meyer won the third match, by a score of 43 in two shots, over seven competitors; Charles Fuelling won the fourth match by a score of 43; and the fifth was won bv A. Burvenick, score, 3f. Darkness coming on, the fifth match was the last.

Honor the Dead. It has been well said by one of our leading writers that to judge the stand ard of a people, one has only to visit the cemeteries; and nothing truer could be said. A cemetery in fine condition, with neat monuments erected to the memory of the dead, even though they be not costly, shows a re finement of taste, and an aesthetic cul ture, in a manner most unmistakable. A respect for the dead can exist in none who have not a proper appreciation of the living. In this connection we would mention the fine monumen tal work on exhibition at Messrs. Ritter A Vickrey's marble and granite works, on .North .reari street, riere win oe found the products of the finest work manship, modeled after the most nandsome original designs, that can be found in any city in the State. We have no hesitation in pronouncing some of the monumental work as the best produced in, the State, and an investigation by those interested will be convincing. The designs are all prepared by Mr. Ritter, the senior partner in the firm, whose fine taste, polished as it is by thirty years or active experience in tliis line has given him a wide reputa tion. The material used are the finest of American and Italian Marbles, and Scotch and American Granites, mate rials the most lasting and perfect that can be obtained. Among tne neatest monuments on hand last week, was one eleven feet in height, of dark Scotch Granite, (called "Spotted Gem"). It consisted" of a round polished col umn, surmounted with an urn, stand ing on a square base, the whole highly finished. It is mounted on a cut lime stone base. Another is a monument, sixteen feet in hight, made of three colors of Granite. This when finished will present a most beautiful appear ance. Some very tine designs In white and colored Marble can aifco be seen there. We regret that want of space will not allow us to mention all the fine de signs on exhibition, but recommend all interested to call at the shop where they will find accommodating persons, ready to show their work. Mr. Vickrey, one of the proprietors, a gentleman of fine taste, will assist all wishing to purchase, in their selections. A fine collection of stereoscopic views or all the finest work of the kind in the country can be seen there, and is well worth inspecting. The peculiar advantage is that the works can be seen t perxpecttve, as well as if a visit were made to the cemetery, and a selection can be made much easier. Call at the works on North Pearl street, and see samples of work. FROM ABINUTOX. For the Palladium. A young lady living at Mr, Brown's in the North part of the township, was thrown from a horse, Sabbath, and hal an arm broken. Haymond Robby's, broken leg is do ing well. Services were held by all the denom inations in our vicinity, Sabbath, the Methodist minister continuing from last week a protracted effort, the result from which so far is one convert. .
