A REPLY TO MAH0NE.

The Dcaocratic State Committee Refuting the Charges of Intimidatim and Murder-

RICHMOND, Dec. 1—The Democratic State Committee has istued an address congratulating theDemocratic party on their great and signal victory at the polls, and replying to the recent addresses of Mahone, in which he charged that victory was woa.by intimidation and systematic murder and bloodshed. The charge of intimidation of voters is tnus disposed of:

Ii the voters were intimidated as alleged, the result ought to appear :n a diminished total vote, or, at any rate, in a diminished Coalition vote. What are the facts? The total vote cast in Virginia in 1876—the largest ever cast before this year—was 233,228. Tbe total vote cast thia year was 236,228. Tbe total vote cast this year was 272,654 or 37,000 more than in 1876. In 1876, as at this election tbe payment of a capitation tax was not a qualification of voters. In 1880 the en tire vote cast was 51,000 less than the vote of thia year, lo 1882 it was 75,000 less. One-sixth in,number of the entire population, white and black, minor and adults, male and female, voted in the last election.

Upon these figures alone the question may well be asked, Where are the voters who wtre deterred from voting? Intimidations at elections by secret ballot must operate almost exclusively to prevent vou-rsfrom voting at all. Now, tbe enormously increased aggregate of the total vote must alone go far to remove tne suspicion ot such undue influence but, when it further appears that the Coalition party actually increased their vote by more than 13,000, if the comparison 1b with the elcct:on of 1881, and by more than 26,000—that is by more than one-fourth—as compared with Coalition vote of 1882, it may be fairly atseried that all the general indications which ought to disclose intimidation of voters are" absent from this election. In truth, the only ground on which the charge rests is the partisan necessity of some reason other than tbe natural reason to explain the defeat of the Coalitionists at the polls.

As to the causes of the revolution of public opinion, the address says that Virginia is by History and conviction a D-mocratic State that the defeat of the party in tbe elections oi tbe last few years was solely due to a division in iis ranks on the debt question and tbst, now that tne debt question is settled, the Democrat* have returned lo their party al egiance. "But," says tbe ad tress, "that return was quickened by tbe spectacle ot ihe unnumbered woes the ambition of one man bad brought upon the State, and the apprehension of worse evil to come from which accident alone had just saved the Commonwealth."

In the counties ia which Mahone charges that systematic murder and bloodshed kept many members ot hi* party from the polls, tbe address shows that in those mnties (except Madison) the Coalitionists polled2,496 more vote* than in 1882, and. in that they carried FJoj county by "a majority increased from fifteen in 1882 to 295 in 1883. "These figures suggest," the address sa 8, "what will be found to be the truth, thai a fe* obscure private broils—m^re individual quarrels—have been magnified into political assassinations, The address concludes as follows: v,

The real troth of the matter is that on the 6th of this month of November the people rose, as patient, long-suffering, law loving American freemen will always rise against outrage and oppression, a majestic spectacle for all lovers of civil and political liberty in every part of this abounding land. The fullness of time had come, the petty dictator had pltyed out hiss lfish and treasonable game till s?en the blind crnld see that bitter end wtiich a short time ago only the wiBe could predict.

Then earae the uprising of the people in their might. Then come Ihst resound ing voice of Virginia, uttered with all its volume, with all its power, with all the aniestnesB ef men who kuew and telt that the struggle was for good government, for honest administration, for the peace of their homes, and the security of their rights. Let the people jealously guard tbe liberties thus restored to their keeping.

THE MESSAGE.

I'tittaaed Fr**i First'Page.

lai monitor, the Monadnock, has been launched in California. The naval advisory board and the secretary recommends the completion of the monitors. The construction of lour gunboats and of three additional steel vessels iike the Chicago, Boston and Dolphin as an important measure of material defence. Tbe secretary urges the immediate erection of an interior coast line ot water waye acroes the peninsula of Florida, along the coast from Florida to Hampton roads between tbe Cbesepeake bay and the Delaware river and through Cape Cod I feel bound to imprees upon the attention of Congress the necessity ot continued progress in the reconstruction of the navy. The condition of the public treas-

Qry—as

I have already intimated—makes

the preeent an auspicious time for putting this branch of the service in a state ot efficiency. It is no part of our policy to create and maintaier a navy able to cope with that of the other great powers of tbe world.. We have no wish tor foreign conquest, and the peace which we have long enjoyed is in no seeming danger of interruption. But that our naval strength should be made adequate lor the defense of our harbors, the protection of our commercial interests and the maintenance of our national honor, is a proposition from which no patriotic citizen can withhold bis assent.

THE POaTOFFIOE DEPARTMENT. The report of the Postmaster General contains a gratifying exhibit of the condition and prospec ot the interesting branch of the public service committed to bis care. It appears that on June 30th, 1883. the whole number of pocstoffioes was 47.863, of which 1,632 were established during tho previous fiscal year. Tbe number of offices operating under the system of free delivery was 154. At the-e latter offices the postage cn local matter was $419523.052, a sum exceeding by $102,189,401, the entire cost of the carriers' set vice of the country. The rate of postal on drop letters passing through these offices is now fixed by law at two cents per halt ounce or fraction thereof. In offices where the carrier system has not been established the rate is only hall as large. It will be remem bered in 1863, when the free delivery was first '.stablished ty law, the uniform sin gle rate of postage upon local letten was one cent and so it remained until 1872, when in those cities where the carrier service was established it was increasea in order to defray the expense of sucb service. It seems to me the old rate may now with propriety be restored, ana that, too, even at the risk of diminishing, for a time at least, the receipts trom poe'.age upon local letters. 1 can see no rea son why that particular class ot mail matter should be held accountable lor tbe entire coat of not only its own collection and delivery, but the collection aud delivery of all other claeees, and I am confident after a full consideration of the subject that the reduction of rate would be followed by such a growing accession of business ae to occasion but slight aud temporary loss to the revenues of the poaioflL-e.

The Postmaster General devotes much of his rep rt to tbe consideration in its varions aspeit- cf the relations of the eminent to the telegraph. Such reflection as I have be able to give to this subject since my last annual message ha not led me to change my view, which I expressed in dissenting from the recommendation cf the then Postmaster General, that ihe government assume the same control over the telegraph which it has always exercised over the mail. Admitting that its authority in the premises is as ample as has ever been claimed for it, it would not in my judgment be a wise use of that authority to purchase or assume the control of the existing tele graph lines or to construct others with a view of entering into a general competition with private enterprise. The objections which may be jusjtly urged against tither of theie projects and, indeed, against any system which would require an enormous .ncrease in the civil service list, do not, however, apply to some ot the plans which have lately'provoked public comment and discussion. It has been drtimed, for example, that Congress mtgot wisely authorize the Postmas cr General to contract with some private persons or corporation for the transmission bf messages at specified rates and under government supervision. Various such schemes of tbe same general nature but widely differing in~ their special characteristics have been suggested in the public prints and the arguments by which they nave been supported and opposed have doubtless attracted your attention. It is like ly that tbe wnole subject will be considered by you at the present session. In tbe nature of things it involves so many questions of detail that your deliberations would probably be aided slightly, if at all, by any particular suggestions which I might now submit. I avow my belief, however, that the government should be authorized by law to exercise some sort of supervision over inter-state telegraph communication and I express the hope that tor the attaining of that end of some measure may be devned whioh will receive your approbation. %.

THE ATTORNEY GEXERAC'

criticises, in his report, the provisions of existing law fixing the fees of jurors and witnesses in the Federal courts. These provisions are chiefly contained in tbe art ot February 26th, 1853, though some of them were introduced into ihat action from statutes, which had been passed many years previous. It is manifest thai compensation as might, when these laws were enacted, have been just and reasonable, would in many instances be justly regarded at tbe present day as inadequate. I concur with the Attorney-Gen-eral in the belief that the statutes should be revised by which those fees are regulated—so, too, should tbe laws which regulate compensation of the DistrictAttornej and Marshals. They should be paid wholly by salaries instead of part by fees asia now the case. The change would prove te be a measure of economy and would discourage tbe institution of needless and oppressive legal proceedings which it is to be feared have in some instances been conducted for the mere sake of personal gain.

THE UTTKRIOR DKPABnmT. Much interesting and varied information is contained in tbe repoit of the Secretary of the Interior. I particular!

.*.*•

4*

call your attention to his presentation of certain phases of the Indian qoestion to his recommendations tor the repeal ot the preemption and timber culture acts and lor more stringtnt legislation »o prevent frauds finder the pension }aws. The statutes whieh prescribe the definitions and punishments of crimes rela'ing to pensions could doubtless be made more effective by certain amendments and additions wbich are pointed out in the secretary's report.

I htve previously referred to the alarming state of illiteracy in certain portions of the country and again submit for the consideration ot Congress, whether same federal aid should be expended to public primary education, where ever adequate provision therefore has not already oeen made.

TITB UTAH COMMISSION

has submitted to the Secretary of Interior its second annual report as a result oi its labors in supervising the recent election in that territory, pursuant to the act ol March 23, 1882. It appears that the persons by that act disqualified to the number of about 12,600 were excluded from the polls. This fact, howevcT, affords little cause for con gratulation, and I fear that it is fat from indicating any real and substantial progress toward the extirpation of polygamy. All of the members of the Legislature are mormons. There is grave reason to believe they are in sympathy with the practices that this government is seeking to suppress snd that its effbit in that regard will be more likely to encounter their opposition than ta receive their encour ngemeot and support. Even if this view should happily be erroneous, the law under .which the commissioners have been acting should be made more effective by tbe incorporation of such stringent measures as wtre included in bill No. 2238, on tbe Calendar of die Senate at its last &ession. 1 am convinced, however, that polygamy has become so strongly intrenched in the territory of Utah, that it is profitless lo attack'it with any but the stoutest weapons which constitutional legislation can fashion. I favor, therefore, the repeal of the act upon which the existing government depends, and the assumption by national legislation ol tbe entire political control of the territory, aiid tbe establishment of a commission, with such powers and duties as shall be delegated to it by law.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. The President refers to the recent convi ntion in the cattle interest at Chicago and makes several recommendations.

LAWS FOR ALASKA.

He recommends that the present Congress take Alaska under the protection of the law. The people there have no laws for the collection of debt, the support of education, the conveyance ot property, the administration of estates, the enforcement of contracts, cr the punishment of criminals except such as are offered against certain customs,commerce and navigation acts

He makes extended reference to the great resources of Alaska. "t PROTECTION OF FORESTS. V,

On this subject the President says: In many portions of the west the- pursuit of agilculture is only made practical by tbe resort to irrigation, which successful irrigation would be impossible without the aid afforded by the torests and contributing to the regularity and constancy of the supply of water. He thinks the great and sudden "rises" in tbe rivers due to removal of the forests. He recommends the withdrawal from -public sales the great forests and establishing there a forest preserve.

THE LOUISVILLE AND BOSTON SHOWS. Complimentary notice is given to the expositions at Louisville and Boston.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

He asks careful consideration to the report of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia especially to that portion relating to the arrears of taxes and water supply.

CIVIL SERVICE.

Ref rrtngto the civil serv-ce rule3 be says: ''Ii wilt be seen t'iey discountenance any political or religious teste for admission to the offices of the public service. The act is limited in its original application to the clasificd clerkships in the several executive departments aWashington, number ng about 5,600 and to similar positions in the customs districts and to postoffices where as many persons as fitty are employed. I am persuaded that its effects have thus far proved beneficial. Its practical methods appear to be adecpaate tor the ends proposed and there has been noserious difficulties in carrying them into effect.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION. The clause of the constitution upon wbich must depend any law regulating the presidential sacoession presents also for solution other questions of paramount importance. These questions relate to the proper interpretation of thp phrase "Inability to discbarge the powers and duties of said office," our organic law providing that when the president shall suffer from such inability the presidential office shall devolve upon the vice president, who must himself under like circumstances give place to such offices as Congress may by law appoint to act as president. I need not have set forth the numerous and interesting inquriries which are suggested by these words of the constitution. They were fully stated in my first communication to Congress aod since been the subject of frequent deliberation in that body. It is greatly to be hoped these momentuous questions wil.» find speedy solution, lest the emergencies may rise when longer delay will he impossible any determination, albeit the wisest, may rarnish cause for anxiety and alarm.

VSTOES.

For the reasons fully stated in my last animal message I repeat my recommendation that Congress propose an amendment to that previsions of the constitution which prescribes the formalities for the enactment ot laws whereby in respect to bills for the appropriation of public moneys, the Executive may be enabled while giving his approval to particular items to interpose his veto as to such Others as do not commend themselves to his judgment.

THE 14th AMKNDMQrr

oi the constitution confers the rights of citizenship upen all persons born or

iifiiti

naturalized in the United ^States and subject fo the jurisdiction thereof. It was the sp«eial purpose1 of this amend meet to insure to members of the colored race the full enjoyment of it and political rights. Certain itituatory and provisjvs intended to secure tbe enforcement of ihtse rights ha v- ~ecently declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, any legislation whereby Congress may carefully supplement the guarantees which tbe constitution affords for the equal enjoyment by all citizens of the United States of every ri^ht, privilege and immunity of citizenship will receive my unhesitating ap* proval.
