TIIE VIES A IXl-OSITIOS. ,
Preparations are making for tho Inter
national Exposition, to be held J. during ,
next year iu Yienna,ofl a scale of verj great
aiagmtuda. The tendency of these expo
sitions is in the direction of advanoeiUivU--ization
and tlie elevation of intlnsirr-an
labor, and tho increase of humad' Impi-1
ness, as well as of greater intercourse and
good witt 1twqpfl nations. The Exposi
tin is to-4 tie Urst which will have been
held in Eastern Europe, aud it is believed
that American inventors and manufactur
ers will be ready to avail themselves of the '
, Of portunity for the presentation of. Iheir .
; productions, if encouraged b) rpcet kicL
and protection. At ti e last sessiou of Con
gress authority was given lor tlieappoint
inent of one or more agents to represent
this Government at the Exposition. The
authority thus given has been exei-eised ;
but in the absence of any appropriation .
there is danger that tlie important lienetits
; which the Exposition offers will In a large
degree be lost to the citizens of the Uni
ted States. I commend the subject strong
ly to your consideration and recommend
that an adequate appropriation be made
lor tne purpose. . lo lurtlier aid American j
exhibitors at 'the Viena Exposition, I I
i would recommend, in addition to an ap
propriation of nioney, that the .Secretary
of the Navy be authorized to fit up . twd

has made no further payment on account

states, whicli having originated iu injuries
to its citizens by the Venezuela authori

being now fifty-nine vacancies, and tlie
number of successful candidates rarely
exceeds eight or ten iu one year. "

the considerations of tlie wisdom, the poli

oppresses a race and continues the bloody
and destructive conflict close to our border,
as well as the expediency and justice of
conceding other reforms of which the pro-
cr Governients to authorize their Consul
to extend such relief to their citizens or
subjects in extreme cases. A similar au
thority, and an appropriation to carry it
into effect, ate recommended in the case of
citisens of the United States destitute or
sick under such circumstances. It is well
known tliat onr citizens resort to foreign
countries iu great numbers. Though most
of them are able to bear the expenses inci

upon the cliarity ot foreigners, or 1)0 n
lieved at the private charge of our own of
fice! 3, who usually, even with the mot
benevolent dispositions, have nothing1 to

thority andnppropriation asked for be gran

cence of Congress into effect and that it
will not be unnecessarily or unworthily be
stowed. THE TREASI RY DEPARTMENT.

THE POST-omCE DKr.VRTJniNT.
I recommend the careful consideration by Con
gress of tiie nxatnmemUtionii made by the Sec
retary in the acsompanyitig n port of the I'oot-
master-Oeneral. It " furnishes a full
and satisfactory exhibit of tlie
operations of t!i' Post-ofttce Department
during the year. The ordinary revenues of the
Department for the fiscal )ear ending Jnne30,
ISfi, amounted to $21 315.420 S7, and tlie ex
penditures to 26,G5S,192 1 Compared with
tlie previous lh'al ytar, die incruise of revenue
was $1,87G,3H0 95, and the inm'aiie of expendi
hires 2,2(W,0HS 2. Adding to tho onlinnry
revenues of tho annual appropriation t 7W,
00(1 for free matter, and the amounts paid us
subsidies on mail steamship lines from special
appropriations, tlie deficiency paid out of the
general treasury was $a.31!,705 94 on excetwof
$389,901 28 over the dclidcney for the year 1H71.
Otlier interesting statistics relating to rapidly
exU'iiding iHwtal services are furnished in this
report. Tho total lengthof railroad mail routes
ou the aoth of Juno, 172, was 57.911 miles,
8,007 additional miles of such services having
lieen put into operation. During the year eight
new lines sf railway pOKt-ofiiccs have lieen es
tablished, with an aggregate length of 2.909
miles. The number of letters exchanged by the
mails with foreign countries was 24.3o2..rSX--an
increase of 4,006,50-2, or 20 per cunt, over the
number in 1871. Thepostage thereon amounted
to $1,871,257 25. The total weight of mails ex
changed with European countries exceeded 8211
tons. The cost of the United Statin transatlan
tic mail steamship service is $220,201 70. The
total cost of the United States ocean steam
ship service, including the amounts paid
to subsidized lines of mail steamers, was $1,027,
020 97. The following are the only steamship
hues now receiving subsidies for niail service
under special acts of Congress : The I'acilic Mail
Steamship Company receive $500,000 per annum
for earning a monthly mail between San Fran
cisco, Japan and China, which will lie increased
to $1,000,000 per annum for a semi-mouthly
niail on and after October, 1, 1H73 ; the United
Htates and Brazil Hteamship Company receive
$150,000 per annum for carrying a monthly mail
between- New Vork and Hio de Janeiro, and tlie
California and Oregon and Mexico bteamsliip
Company receive $75,000 ir annum for carry
ing a monthly mail between San Francisco anil
Honolulu, making the total amount of mail
steamship subsidies,, at present, $725,006 per
annum. Our postal communications with all
parts of the civilised world have lieen placed
upon tho most advantageous footing by im
proved postal conventions. And arrangemento
recently concluded with the leading commercial
countries in Europe and America, and the grati
fying statement is made that, with the conclusion
o'f a satisfactory convention with France, the de
tails of which liave been definitely agreed upou
by tlie French Postal Department, subject
to tlie approval of the Minister of Finance,
little remauis to be accomplished bv treaty for
some time to come. In respect to tho reduction
of tho rate for the improved facilities of the
postal service, your favorable consideration is
respectfully invited to the recommendations of
t the Postmaster-Ocneral for an increase of the
service from a monthly to a semi-monthly trip
on the mail steamships to Brazil ; for a subsidy
in aid of the establishment of an American lino
of mail steamers lirtwccn Kan Francisco, New
Zealand and Australia ; for the establishment of
postoflice saving banks, and for the incnane of
the salaries of the heads of bureaus. 1 have
lieretoforo recommended the abolition of the
franking privilege, and see no reason now for
changing my views on that subject. It not hav
ing been favorably .regarded by Congress, how
ever, I now suggest a modification of the privi
lege to correct the glaring anil coeUy abuses.
I would suggest, also, the appointment of a com
mittee or commission to take into consideration
the best method equitable to private corporations
who have invested their time and capital in tha
establishment of .telegraph lines, of acquiring
tide to all telegraph lines now in operation, and
of connecting this service with the postal ser
vice of the nation. It is not probable, that Uiis
subject could receive proper consideration dur
ing tlie limit of the next session of Congress,
but it may tie initiated, so tliat further action
may be fair to the (iovernineut and to tlie private
parli.-s concerned. Ther ar but three, lines
of ocean steamers, namely the I'acilic Mail
Hteanismp Company, between San Francisco,
China and Japan, with provision made for a
semi-mothly service after October 1, 1873, the
United States and Brazil line, monthly, and the
California and New .eland and Australian line,
monthly plying Is twuen tlie United Suites and
foreign" ports, owned and operated under our
flag. I earnestly recommend that such liberal
contracts for carrying tho mails be authorized
witli those lines as will insure tlieir continuance,
if the expediency of extending tho aid of the
Government to lines of steamers which hitherto
have mrt received it should be deemed worthy of
eonsidimnim by ( 'ongress. Political and com-
niereia!rlject8 make it advisable to bestow such
the line under our tiag between Panama
By tliis means
amounted $3,208,100 during the samo period ;
22,016,608 acres of public lands were surveyed,
which, added to the quantity before surveved,
amounts to 583,363,780 acres, leaving 1,358,633,.
628 acres of public lands still tmsnrvemd.
Reports from tne subordinates of the Land Of.
lice contain interesting information in regard to
tlieir respective districts. They uniformly men
tion the miitfulnesa of the yield during the past
season, and the increased yield of aU kinds of
produce evinces that in those States and Terri
tories where mining is the principal business,
the agricultural products have exceeded the lo
cal demand, and liberal shipments have be. ii
made to distant points.
TI1K PATKST OFFICE.
During the vear ending Sept. 30, 1873, there were
issued from the Patent 4ritU-e 14,63ft patents, 3 ex
tensions and ue ntAcate a ml resUters of trade
marks. During the am time 19,47 applications
fur patents, including re-lsxiies and leirns have
been received, aud 3,100 caveats llled. The fees

adopted at Us origin, when onlv In in oue lo five

Commissioner shows tliat the office has outgrown
the original plan and that a new organization has
become necessary. This ui)ject was presented lo
Congress in a f-peclal eommunk-atlon in Kebruarv
last, with my approval and tlie approval of tlie
Secretary ol the Interior, and the suuxestions con
tained in said uomnitinie-alion wereeinirnced in a

of the reorganization of tlie Patent Office, as con

RAII.KOAD-'AXD CANAL COMUMCATIOXS.
The attention oit Congress will lie called
during its present session to the various
enterprises for the more certain and cheap
er transport tin! i of the constantly increas
ing supplies of western And Southern nro-
duets to the Atlantic seaboard. "The sub
ject is one that will force itself upon tlie
legislative branch of Government soouer
or inter, and I suggest, therefore, that im
mediate steps be taken to gain available
infofmation to secure equitable and jut
egislationftr lines to connect the Missis
sippi valley with the Atlantic at Charleston,
JKMitn Carolina, ana at rsavannah, Georgia,
by way of the Ohio and Tennesssee rivers;
by canals and slack-water navigation. Tlie
Savannah and Ocmulgee rivers have been
surveyed bimi a rejKirt made by an accom
plished engineer and Officer at tha areiy.
A second and a third new route, will be
proposed lor the consideration of Con
gress, namely ; by an extension of the
Kanawha and James-river Canal to the
Ohio, aud by the extension br the Chcsa-
, peake and Ohio Canat I am not prepared

tat that, when com Dieted, '.thev, will he

That production increases 'more rapidly
than tlie means of transportation in our
country, .has been demonstrated by past
experience; that the unprecedented growth
in wpuua)uuii nuu pruuuua vi uie wniue
country win require additional facilities
and cheaper means for the more bulky ar
ticles of commerce to reach tide water, and
that a market will be demanded In the near
future,. Is equally" demonstrated. I would
therefore suggests either a commltte ' or a
commisslou to be organzled to consider
this whole question, and to report to Con
gress at some future day for Its better guid
ance in legislating on this Important sub
ject. The railroads of the country have
been 'rapidly extended during the last lew
years to meet the growing demands of pro
ducers, and they reflect much credit upon
tlie capitalists and managers engaged In
tbelr construction. In addition to these, a
project to faciliate commerce by tlie build
ing ot a ship canal (.round Niagara falls on
the United htat' side, which has been ag
itated for many years, will no doubt be
called to your attention this session. Look
ing to the great future of the country, and
the increasing demands of commerce, it
might be well, while on the subject, not
only to have examined the reports upon
the various practicable routes tor oonnect
faiff the MislssIssiDDl with tide water on the
Attantlc, but the feasibility of almost con
tinued land-locked navigation from Maine
to tlie Gulf of Mexico. Such a route along
onr const would ha of sreat value at all
times, nd of inestimable value in case of
a foreign war. Nature nasprovuiea tne
grea ter part of tliis route, and the obstacles
to be overcome are easily within the skill
ot the engineer. I have not alluded to this
subject with the view of having any fur
ther exnenditure of the DCbllc money at
this time than may be neouessary to pro4
cure and place all necessary information
before Congress In an authentic forth, ' to
enable It hereafter, 1 deemed practicable
continent of America. 1 lie report of tlie rteere
tary of the Treasury will show an alarming fall
ing off of our carrying trade for tlie last ten or
twelve years, and even for the past year. 1 do
nut believe that die public treasure can Is- bet
ter expended in Uie interests of the whole people
than in trying to recover this trade. An expen
diture of a few million dollars annually for the
next tive years, if it would restore to us our pn
portion ni' the carrying trade of the world, would
be profitably expended. The price if lalmr in
Eitroie has so much eiiliaiiccd within the last
few years, tliat tiie cost of building and operating
ocean steamers in the I'nited Stab's is not so
mnch greater than in Europe, and I lielieve the
time has arrived for Congress to to tnVr this snl
ject into serious consideration.
DEPARTMENT OF Jt STK L.
A detailed statement of tlie disbursements
through the Department of Justice will be fur

and though these have lieen somewliat increased
by the recent Acts of Congress to enforce the
rights of citizens of tlie Unih-d States to vote in
the several States of tho Union, and to enforce
the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment to
tlie Constitution of the United States, and other
amendments thereto, 1 cuinot question tlie ne

associated themselves together ill some localities
to deprive others ef the rights (guarantord tlx in
by tlie Constitution of the United States, anil to

the detection and punishment of many of these
persons have tended greatly to the repression ol
such disorder. I do not doubt that a great ma-
iority of the people in all parts of the country,
towever. are in lavor of the full enjoyment by
ail classes of persons to those riftfits whicli thev
are entitled under the constitution and laws. I
invoke the aid and influence of all good citi ns
to prevent organizations whose objects re by un
lawful means to interfere with those rights. 1
look with confidence to the time not far distant
when the obvious advantages of good order and
peace will induce the aluminum nt of all cunbi

DErABTMETT OF THE ITTESIOR,
The Secretary of tho Interior reports as satia
factorv the improvement and progression in each
of the several bureaus nnder the control of tha
Interior Department. They are all in excellent
condition. All the current business has been
promptly dispatched. The policy which was
adopted at the beginning of Una Administration
vita regard to Uie management of tlie Indians
has been as successful as its most ardent friends
anticipated within so short a time. It has
reduced the expenses of their management, deV
creased their forays upon tlie white settlements,
tended to give U largest opportunity for tlia
extension of the great railways through the pub
lie domain and tlie pushing of settlements into
many districts of country, and at the same time
to improve tho condition of the Indians. This
policy will be maintained withont change excep
ting such as farther experience may show to bs
necessary to render it more efficient. The sub
ject ot oonverung the so-called Indian Territory
south of Kansas into a home for the Indians,
and erecting thereon a territorial form of Gov
ernment, is one of very great importance as a
complement to the existing Indian policy, The
question of their removal to the territory has,
within the past year been, presented to many
tribes resident upon other and lent desirable por
tions of the pnblio domain, and has generally
teen received by them with favor. Assprelim
inarv step to uie organization of such a territo
ry, it will be necessary to confine toe Indians
now resident thereon to farms of proper aiae,
which should be secured to them in fee, the res
idue to be used for the settlement of other
friendly Indiana. Efforts will be made in the
immediate future to induce the removal of as
many of the peaceably disposed Indians only to
the Indian Territorv as can be settled properly
without disturbing uie harmony of those already
there. A proper location, now available, where
a people who are endeavoring to acquire s knowl
edge of pastoral and agricultural pursuita can be
as well accommodated aa upon the unoccupied
lands of the Indian Territory. A Territorial
Government should, however, protect the Indi
ans from the inroads of the whites for a term of
yean, until they become sufficiently advanced
In the arts of civilization to guard their own
rights. For the same period, daring the last
fiscal year, there were disposed of out of the
pobtic lands, 11,864,975 acres, a quantity great
er by 1,009,270 acres than was disposed of the
previous year. Of this amount, 1,370,320 acres
were sold for cash ; 380,400 acres located with
military warrants; 4,671,333 acres taltei for
homesteads : 093,613 acres located with college
scrip; 1,534,887 acres granted to railroads;

one of them, t'lah, is the condition of affairs unsat

CIVIL SERVICE.
The desire h.is been ditto correct the abuses
which have grown upon the civil service of the
country through the defective method of making
appointments to offices, which have been regarded
as ihe reward of political services. I ndertbc au
thority of Congress, rules have been established
to regulate the terms of office and mode of ap
pointments. It cannot he expected that any sys
tem or rule can be entirely eflea-tlve. and prove a
perfect remedy for existing evils, till they have
been thoroughly tested by actual practice and
amended according to the requirements of the ser
vice. Onrtng my term of ofHoe It shall be my besr
endeavor to so applv the rules an to secure the
greatest possible reform in Ihe civil eervloc of the
Government; but it will require the direct atten
tion of Congress to render the enforcement of the
system binding uponmv successor, and I hope that
the experience nf the past year together with ap
propriate legislation bv Congress, may reach asat
uilactorv solution of this quesUon, and secure to the
public "scrviue for all time a practical method of
obtaining faithful and efficient offieersand employ-

having lost his cause, which had
been tried by three judges, one of
whom was esteemed a very able
lawyer, though the other two were
indifferent, Borne of the barhtsters
were merry on the occasion. "Well,
now," said he, "who could fielp It
when there was ahundred Judges on
the bench ?" "A hundred I" .said a
bystander ; "there were but three.'.
"By St. Patrick !" replied he, "there
was one and two ciphers."

at all convenient periods during the
night The services are conducted
in the open air, as they have, as yet,
