The subject, of opening diplomatic relations with lloumania anil Servia, now become independent sovereignties, is at present under consideration, and is the subject of diplomatic correspondence. There is a gratifying increase of trade with nearly all European and Ameri- j can countries, and it is believed that, j with judicious action to regard to its' development, it can and will be stili | more enhanced, and that American pro- j ducts and manufactures will lind new 1 and expanding markets. The reports ! of diplomatic and consulate officers j upon this subject, under the system now I adopted, have resulted in obtaining much valuable information which has | been and will continue to be laid before C'on.rtss and the public lroiu time to | time. THE CONDITION Of ALASKA. The third article of the treaty with Russia, of March 30, ln>7, by which Alaska was ceded to the United States, provides that the inhabitants of the ceded territory, with the exception of ft* uncivilized native tribes, filial! ; he admitted to the enjoyment of all the j rights of citizens of the United States, j !j ~i._n u~ nni mill SilUil Ul" lUUIUlUIU'-U rtlivt .. , in the free enjoyment ot their liberty of ' property and religion. The uncivilized tribes are subject to such laws and regu- { lations as tlie United States may from time to time adopt in regard to the ab- j original tribes of that country. Both the obligations of this treaty and the necessities of the people require that some organized form of government over the Territory of Alaska be adopted. There appears to be no law J for the arrest of persons charged with i fnmmnn lnw nffptiG^c fill oh UK? ! sault. robbery. and murder, and no ! magistrate authorized to issue or .execute process in such cases. Serious diffi- I cultiesjhave alreadj arisen from offences of;this charaetcv, not only among the | original inhabitants, but among citizens j of the United States and other countries j who have engaged in mining, fishing, j and other business operations within the ; Territory. A bill authotizing the ap- , pointment of justices ,of the peace ana constables, and the arrest and detention of persons charged with criminal offences' and providing for an appeal to United States courts for the district Jof Oregon, in suitable cases, will, at a proper time, be submitted to Congress. THE PUBLIC FINANCES. The attention of Congress is called to the annnal report of the sec retary of the treasury on the condition of the public finances. The ordinary revenues from all sources for the fiscal year, ended June 30, 187:), were ?273.827.184 46. The ordinary expenditures for the same pe- ! riod were 8266 917,083 53, leaving a surplus revenue for the year of $6,879,300 93. The receiDts for the present fiscal year. ending .June 30, 1680, actual andesti- j mated, are as follows: Actual receipts j for the first quarter, commencing July 1, 1879, $79,843,633 61; estimated receipts for the remaining threequarters of the year, $-208,156,336 39; Total receipts for the current fiscal year, actual and estimated, ?*288,000,000. The expenditures for the same period will he, actual and estimated, as follows: For the quarter commencing July 1, 1879, actual expenditures, $91,683,385 10; and for trie remaining three- i quarters of the year, the expenditures ' are estimated at $172,316,014 90, making j the total expenditures ?2t>4,000,COO, ana j leaving an estimated surplus revenue for | tile year ending June 30. 1880, of $24,000,000. The total receipt during the next fiscal year, ending .June 30,1881, estimated according to existing .aw/?, will be $208,i 00,000. and the estimated ordinary expenditures for the same peried will be $278.097.304.3!). leaving a surplus of $9,C02.635.(>1 for that year. The large amount expended for arreq#B of pensions during the last and the present, fiscal year, amounting to $21,747,219.00, has prevented the application of the full amount required by law to the sinking fund for the current year, hut the?e ar rearsnaving oceasuusuimiany pjuv.. u js j believed that the sicking fnnd '-an hereafter be maintained without any change of existing law. : ? TIIK ARMY AND NAVY. The secretary of war reports that the war department estimates for the fiscal vear ending .Tune .30. I8S1, are $40,380,428.93, the same being for a Jess sura of money than any annual estimate rendered to Congress from that department during a period of at least twelve years. He concurs with the general of the arm v in recommending such legislation as wil authorize the enlistment of the full mi in , ber of 25.001 men for the line of the army, exclusive of the 3,-100 men required for the detached duty, and therefore not available for service in the field. He also recommends that Congress be asked to provide by law for the disposition of a large number of abandoned military posts and reservations, which, though very valuable in themselves, have been rendered useless for military purposes by the advance of civilization and settlement. He unites with the quarter master-general in recommending that on appropriation be made for the construction of a cheap and perfectly fireproof building for the s*fe storage of a vastamount of money, accounts, vouchers, claims, and other valuable records, now in the quartermaster-general's office, and exposal to great risk of total destruction by tire. He also recommends, in conformity with the views of the judge advocate-general, some declaratory - legislation in reference to the milttary statute of limitations, as applied to the crimc of desertion. In these several recommendations I concur. The secretary of war further reports that the work for the improvement of tho South Pass of the Mississippi river, under contract with Mr. Jaines B. Ends, made in pursuance of an act of Congress, has been prosecuted during the past year, with a greater measure of success in the attainment of results than during any previous vear. The channel through the South Pass which, at tlie beginning of June, 1875, had a depth of only seven and onehalf feet of water, had. on the eighth of July, 1879, h minimum depth of twentysix foot, having a width ot not Joss than 200 fcot and a central depth of thirty feet. Payments have been made in accordance with the statute as the work progressed, amounting in the aggregate to $4,250,000, and further payments will become due, as provided by the statute, in event of success in main- i taining the channel now secured. I The reports of the general of the arniyand of his subordinates present a full and detailed account of the i military operations for the repression ol hostilities among the Indians ot the (Jto and Apache tribes, and praise is justly awarded to the officers and troops engaged. for promptness, skill and courage displayed. The past year lias been one of almost unbroken peace and quiet on the Mexican frontier, and there is reason to believe that the etlbrtsof this government and of Mexico to maintain order in that region will prove permanently successful. This department was enabled. during the past year, to find tem^ porarv though crowded accommodations and a safe depository for a portion of its rrcords in the completed east wing ofthe building designed for the State, war and navy departments. The construction of the north wing of the building, a part of the structure intended for the use of the war department, is being curried forward wita nil possible dispatch, ;uid the work should receive fioni Congress such liberal appropriations as wiil secure its speedy completion. The report of thescereiaryof the navy shows continued i.ijprovciueut in that branch of the service during the last fiscal year. Extensive repairs have been made upon vessels, and two new ships have been completed and made ready for sea. The total expenditure of the year ended June 30, 1879, including specific appropriations not estimated for by the department, were 813.555,-, 710.09. The expenses chargeable to the year, after deducting the amount ol i hesc specific appropriations, were 13.313,317.79, but this is subject to a reduction of $283,725.95), tiiat amount having been drawn upon wanauts. nut not paid out aunng uie year. The amount of appropriations applicable to tho last fiscal year was $14.538,t>4f> 17. There wsw, therefore, a balance of $1,479,034 37 remaining unexpcudeu and to the credit of the department on June 30, 1879. The estimates for the tisoal year ending June 30. 1881 are Sl4f8(>4.l47 95, which exceeds the appropriations for the present fiscal year $301,897. *28. The reason for this increase is explained in the secretary's report. The appropriations availaide for the present fiscal year are $14,502,250 07. which will, in the opinion of the secretary, answer all the ordinary demands of the service. The amount drawn from the treasury from July 1 to Nov. 1, 1879, was $5,770,404 12, of which $1,095,440 33 has been refunded. leaving as the expend ituret for that period $4,674,963.79. IT the expenditures of the remaining two-thirds c& uie year do not exceed the proportion lor these four months, there will remain nnexpended at the end of the year S477.359.30 of the current appropriations, i The report of the secretary shows the gratifying fact that among all the disbursing officers of the pay corps ol the navy, there is not one who is a defaulter to the extent ot a single i dollar. I unite with him in recommending the removal of the observatory to a more j hcalthlul locution. That institution reflects eredit upon the nation, and his obtained the approbation ol scientific men iu all parts ol the world. Its removal Irorn its present locality would not only be conducive to the health ol its officers and professors, but would greatly increase its nsetulness. The appropriation lor judicial expenses, which lias lieretotore been made for the department ot justice in gross, was subdivided at t he last session ol Congress, and no appropriation whatever was made lor the payment ol the lees ol marshals and their deputies, either in the service ol process or for the discharge ol other duties, and since June I/O these officers have continued the performance of their duties without compensationIrom the government. taking upon themselves the necessary incidental outlays as well as rendering their own services. In only a low unavoidable instances has the proj>er execution ol the process ol the United Suites lailed by reason ol the absence of the requisite appropriation. This course ol official eonduct on the part ol these officers, highly creditable to their fldcl- : ity, was advised by the attorney-general, who inlormed them, however, that they would j necessarily have to rely lor their compensation upon the prospect ol luture legislation by* i .1 . l'UYl?KT"SS? 1 itA,vun.ivuu . that immediate appropriations be made by Congress tor this put pose. The act making the principal appropriation lor the department | ot justice at previous sessions has uniformly ! contained the lollowina clause: "And lor defraying the expenses which may be incurred in the enforcement ol the act approved Feb. | 2S, 1S70, entitled An act to amend an act approved May 30, 1870, entitled An net to entoroc the right ol the citizens ol the United States to vote in the several States ot the nnH fnr ntlior nurnoscs. or for I uuy acts amendatory thereof, or supplement j nry tiioreto." No impropriation was made lot | this purpose for the current year. As no general election o! members of Congress occurred, the omission was a matter ot little | pniotical importance. Such election will, however, tak-i place during the ensiling year, and the appropriation made for the pay of | marshals and deputies 9hould iks sufficient to embrace compensation lor the services they may be required to periorm at. such election. oti1kr branches op the government. The butiness ol the supreme court is at present largely in arrears. It cannot be expected that more causes can be decided than are now disposed ol in its annnal session, or that by any assiduity the distinguished mag- ! istrates who compose, the court can accomplish J more than is now done. In the courts ot . many of the circuits, also, the business has j increased to such an extent that the delay ot justice will call the attention ot Congress to an appropriate remedy. It is believed that all is done in each circuit which can tairly b? expected lront its judicial force. The evils arising Irom delay are less heavily lelt by the United States than by private suitors, as its causes are advanced by the courts when it i9 seen that they involve the discussions ol questions ol a public character. The remedy sng- ! gested by the attorney-general is the appoint- ! incnt ol additional circuit judges, and the ! creation ol an intermediate court ol errors I and appeals, which shall relieve the supreme j court ol a part of its jurisdiction while a largei i force is also obtained lor the performance of I circuit duties. I commend this suggestion to ! the consideration ot Congress. It would seeia to a fFoiil a 'complete remedy,and would involve ( if ten additional circuit judges are appointed, . an expenditure, at the present rateot salaries, j of wot more than $60,<>00 a year, which would j ccrtainly be small in comparison with the objects to be attained. The report ot the postmaster-general bears | testimony to the general revival ot business throughout tlie country. The receipts ot the : post-offlce department lor tlio year ending ! June 30, 1879, were $30,041,982.86, !>oing i $704,405.91 more than the revenues ot the ) preceding year. The amiunt realized lrom the sale ot postage stumps, stamped enTcl- j opes and poital curds was $704,4(>5.91 more J than in the preceding year, and $2,387,.r>59.23 more than in J S77. The expenditures ol the ! department were ?33,449,899.45, ol which the j sum ot $370,401.63 wus paid on liabilities in- i curretl in the preceding year. The expeuJi- { tures during the year, were $801.21)9.77 j less than in the preceding year. This i reduction is attributed mainly to the operation ol the law passed June 17, 1878, clmng- ! ing the compensation ot postmasters Irora I a commission on the valne ol stamps sold, ! to a commission on stamps canceled. The amount drawn lrom the treasury on ap- I propriations, in addition to ihe revenues ot the department, was $3,031,454.94, being $2,270,197-80 less than in the preceding year. The expenditures loi; the fiscal year | ending June 30, 1881, at e estimated at $39,- j 920,900, and the receipts from all sources ut $32,210,(HJO, leaving a deficiency to be appropriated for out of tne treasury ol $7,710,900. The relations ol the department with railroad companies have been harmonized, notwithstanding the general reduction by Congress ol j their compensation, by the appropriation lor special lacilitie*. The railway postoftke line* I have been ;;reaily extended, especially in the | Southern States. The interests ol the railway j mail service and of the public would be greatly [ promote<land the expenditures could be more j readily controlled, by the classification ot the employees ot the railway mail service as j recommended by the postmaster-general, the appropriation lor salaries, with respect to i which the maximum limit is already flxecl by law, to be made in gross. The postmastersencral recommends an amendment of the law regulating the increase ol compensation j lor increased aervice and increased speed in I star routes, so as to enable him to advertise I lor proposals (or such increased service and speed. He also suggests the advantages to accrue to the coinmercc ol the country Irom the enactment ot u general law authorizing contracts with American-built steamers, cariying the Americw tla^, lor transporting the j mails between ports ol the United Suites and ports ot t he West Indict* and South America, at a fixed maximum price |>cr inile; the amount to be expended being regulated by unuual appropriations, in like manner with the amount paid lor the domestic siai service. The arrangement made by the |?osi muster- i general ami the secretary of the treasury lor the collection of duty upon books jcceived in I the mail Irom loieign countries lias proved so j satisfactory in iu practical operation that the recommendation is now made that Congress j shall extend the provisions ot theactol March ; 1S79, under which this arrangement was I made, so as toapply to all othei dutiable arti- i cles rcccivod in the mails from loreign conn- ! tries. THE INDIAN WAKOS. The reports ol the secretary ol the interior > and ol the commission ol Indian allairs, set- j ting lorth the present state ol our relations with Ihe Indian tribes 011 < ur territory, the measures taken to advance their civilization and prosperity, and the progress already achieved by them, will be found ol more than ordinary interest. The general conduct ol I our inumn population uas ueen so auiiMaciury , that the occurrence of two dislurliances, which | resulted iu bloodshe<i anil destruction ol prop- | erty, is uli the more lo be lamented. The ! history ot the outbreak on the White river ! ITtc reservation, in western Colorado, lius become so lamiliar by elaborate reports in the public press that its remarkable incidents need not to be slated here in detail. It is expected that thtj tettlement ot this difficulty will lead to sucu arrangements us will prevent lurther hostile contact between the Indians and the lx>rder settlements in western Colonulo. I he other disturbance occurred at the Mescalero agency, in New Mexico, where Victoria, the j head ol a aiuall bund ol marauders, alter coin- j mining many utiocities, being vigorously i chased by a military lorcc, made his way : across the Mexican border, and is row on ! foreign soil. While these occurrences, iu which a com- J parutiveiy small number of Indians wert en ! gaged, are most deplorable, a vast majority oi our Indian population have fully justified the expectations ot those who believed that bj humane and peacctul influences, the Indian can l>e led lo abandon the habits of savage life una io uevejop a capacity lor useiui ana civilized occupations. What they have already accomplished in the pursuit of agricultural and mechanical work, the remarkable success which has attended the experiment ol employing as freighteis a class ol Indians hitherto counted nmorg the wildest und most intractable, and ihe general and urgent desire expressed by them lor the education of their children, may be taken hs sufficient prool that they will be lonnd capable ot accomplishing j much more it they continue to be wisely and i iuirly guided, l'he Indian policy sketched in the report of 'he secretary ol the interior, the object ol which is to make liberal provision for the education ol Indian youth, to settle the Indians upon larm lots in severalty, to give them title in lee to their farms, inalienable lor a certain number of years, and when their wants are thus provided lor, to dispose by sale of the lands on their reservations not occupied and used by them, a fund to be formed out ol tho proceeds lor the benefit ol the Indians, -which will gradually relievo the government of the expenses now provided lor by annual appropriations, must commend UfAlfAb ?'?of nn/1 KnimflnSn' tn the* In/linno ?m1 as also calculated to remove those obstructions which the existence ol large reservations presents to the settlement and development ol the country. I therefore earnestly recommend the enactment of a law enabling the government to give Indians a title in Ice innlienable lor twentv-flve years, to the farm lands assigned to them by allotment. I also repeat the recommendation mado in my first annual message that a law be passed admitting Indians who can give eatislactory prool ol having by their own labor suppoi ted their families for a number ol years, und who are willing to detach themselves l'rom their tribal relations, to the benefit ol the homestead act, and to gTant them patent* containing the same provisions ot inalienability lora certain period. The experiment ot sending a number ot Indian children ol both sexes to the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia to receive an elementary J?n*;libh education and practical instruction in tanning and other <seiul industries, has led to rosults so promising that it \ttv> thought escodieni to turn over i the cavalry barracks at "Carlisle,In Pennsylvania, to the interior department, lor the establishment ot an Indian school on a larger scale. This school has now 158 pupils, selected irom various tribes, and is in lull opI eration. Arrangements are also made lor the education ol a number of Indian boys and girls, belonging to tribes on the Pacific slope, in a similjr manner, at Forest Grove, in Oregon. These institutions will commend themselves to the liberality ol Congress and to the philanthropic munificence olthe*Amer| icon people. Jjtst. spring information was received of the i organization of an extensive movement in the Western States, ?ho ohjcct of which was the occupation, by unauthorized persons, of certain lands in the Indian Territory ceded hy the Chcrokees to the government for the purpose ol settlement by other Indian tribes. On the twenty-ninth ot April I issued a prcclomation warning all persons against participation ; in such an attempt, and, by the co-openuioii of a military force, the invasion was promptly chpcked. It is mv purpose to protect the i rights of the Tndinn inhabitants of that Territory to the lull extent ol tho executive power; but it would be unwise to ignore the fact that a Territory ?o largo and so fertile, with a population so sparse and so great a wealth o[ I unused resources, will be loundmore exposed j to the repetition of such attempts as happened I this year when the surrounding States ore I more densely settled and the westward movement of onr population looks still more J engerly lor fresh lauds to occupy. Undor ! such circumstances the difficulty ol maintainI ing the Indian Territory in its present state ( will greatly increase, and the Indian tribes inhabiting it would do well to prepare lor such a contingency. I therefore fully approved the advice given to them by the necretary I ot the interior to divide among themI selves in severalty as large a quantity ot their lands as they can cultivate, to acquire invividual titles in lee, instead of their present tribal ownership in common, and to consider in what matter the balance ol their lands may be disposed ol by tbo government lor their benefit. By adopting such a policy they | would more certainly secure lor themselves the value of their possessions, and at the same time promote their progress in civilization and prosperity, tb:ui by endeavoring to per. petuate the present stat? ol things in the Territory. Tho question whether a change in the control ol the Indian service should be made was, in the Forty .fifth Congress, referred to a joint committee of both lionses lor i inquiry and report. In my last annunl message I expressed the hope that the decision of ] that question then in prospect " would arrest further agitation ol this subject, such agitation being apt to produce a disturbing effect upon ' the sen-ice, as well us the Indians themselves." Since then, the committee having reported, the question has been decided in the negative by a vote in the House of Representatives for the reasons here stated, and in view ol the fact that further uncertainty on this point * will be calculated to obstruct other much- I needed legislation, to weaken the discipline ol | the service, and to unsettle salutary measures | now in progress lor the government and improvement of tho Indians, I respectfully j recommend that the decision arrived at by Congress at its last session be permitted to j stand. THE PUBLIC I.AND8. KfTorts made by the department ol the interior to arrest the depredations on the timber , lands of the United States have been continued, and have met with considerable suc ? -< ~i .????? I cess. A large nuinwr 01 ??? m u c-?f#?<? huve been prosecuted in the courts of the United States. Others have been settled, the 1 trespassers offering to make payment to the government lor the value of the timber taken I by them. The proceeds ot these prosecutions ] and settlements, turned into the treasury, for j exceed in amount the sums appropriated by > Congress for this purpose. A more important ( result, however,consists in the fact that the destruction ol our public lorests by depredations although such cases stilloccur,has been greatly reduced in extent, and it is probable that it the present policy is vigorously pursnod and 1 sufficient provision to that end is mane by Congress, such trespasses, at least those on a 1 large scale can be entirely suppressed, except in the territories where timber lor daily requirements ol the populations cannot, under : the present state of the law, be otherwise ob- ! tained. I therelore earnestly invite the atten- j tion ol Congress to the recommendation . made by the secretary ol the interior, that a law be enacted enabling the government to sell timber from the public lands, without conveying the fee, where such lands are principally valuable for the timber thereon, such snles to be so regulated as to conlonn to I domestic wants and business requirements, I while at the same time guarding against a < sweeping destruction ol the forests. The ; enactment ol such a law appears to become a < more pressing necessity every day. j AUK1C0LTDRE AND EDUCATION, I My recommendations in former messages < arc renewed, iD favor ol enlarging the facil- 1 itics ot the department ol agriculture. Agriculture is the lending interest and the permanent industry ol our peoplo. It is to the I abundance ot agricultural production, as compared with our home consumption and the j lurgely-increascd and highly profitable market abroad which we have enjoyed in recent j years, that we are mainly indebted for our j present prosperity as a people. We mast look j lor its continued maintenance to the same substantial resource. There is no branch of industry in whic.i labor, directed by scientific ' knowledge, yields such increased production ! in comparison with unskilled labor, and no : branch ol the public service to which the en- i eonragement of literal appropriations tan be ! more appropriately extended. The omission < to render such aid is not a wise economy, but, ] on the contrary undoubtedly results in losses of immonse sums annually that might be ] saved through well-directed efforts by the government to promote this vital interest. The results already accomplished with the ! very limited means hevetoloro placed at the ' command ol the department of agriculture is 1 an earnest ol what may be expected, with in- 1 cieased appropriations tor tho several purposes indicated in the rej>ort of the commissioner, with a view to placing the department upon a looting which will enable it to prosecute more effectively 1 he objects lor which it is established. Appropriations are needed lor a more complete laboratory, lor the establishment of a veterinary division and a division ot forestry, and lor an incrciise ol lorcc. The requirements lor these and other purposes indicated in the report ol the commissioner, 1 under the head ol the immediate necessities of the department, will not involve any expenditure of money that the country cannot with propriety now undertake in the interests ' of agriculture. It is gratifying to learn from the bureau ol education the extent to which educational i privileges throughout the United States have been advanced during the year. No more fundamental responsibility rests upon Con- ( grt-ss than that of devising appropriate measures of financial aid to education, supplemental to local action in the States and 1 Territories and in the District of Columbia. ? The wise forethought of the founders ol our government ha9 not only furnished tho basis lor the support of the cnmmon-9chool systems I of the newer States, but laid the foundations ' lor the maintenance of their universities and < colleges of agriculture and the mechanical I arts. Measures in accordance with this tnuli- < tional policy, lor tho further benefit of all , these interests, and the extension of the same advantages to every portion of the country, it r is hoped will receive your favorable consideration. To preserve and perpetnate the national literature should 1>o fuuong the lorcmost carcs 1 of the national legislature. The libruiy ( gathered at tho Capitol still remains uupro- ) videil with any suitable accommodations for ( its rapidly increasing stores. Tho magnitude | unci importance of the collection, increased as s it is by the deposits made under t':e law of < copyright, by domestic and foreign exchanges, J and'by the scientific libmry ol'the Smithsonian i Institution, call for building accommodations which shall be Ht once equal and fireproof. 1 1 he location oS such a public building, which should provide tor the pressing necessities ol the pr<*3Wit, and loi tlie vast increase ot the t nation's Ux>kf in the iuliiro is a matter which ( addresses itsell to the discretion of Congress. 1 It is earnestly recommended as a measure i which should unite all suffrages, and which ( should no longer be delayed. THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT. 1 The joint commission creutcd by the act oi f Congress ol August 2,1876, lor the purpose of j snporvimnc and directing the completion of j the Washington national monument, ol which { commission the President is a member, has ' given careful attention to this subject, aud ' already the strengthening of the foundation " hus .?o lur progress**! us to insure the entire * success ol this part ol the work.

In former messages, impressed with the importance ol the subject, I have taken occasion to commend to Congress the adoption of <v generous policy toward the District ot Co- s lumbia. The report of the commissioners of the District, herewith tiansmitled, contains r suggestions and recommendations, to all of which I earnestly invite your careful atten. lion. I ask your early and favorable ooneid. 8 oration ol the vfiews which tbey oxpreaa a. to the urgent need of legislation tor tne recla- 1 mation of the marshes of the Potomac and its e eastern branch, within the limits of the city, and lor the repair ol the Btreeta ot the capital, heretofore laid with wooden blocks, and now r by decay rendered almost impassable and a j ? source ol imminent danger to the health ol it* citizens. The means at the disposal ol the 1 commissioners are wholly inadequate lor the ^ accomplishment of these important works, and should be supplemented by timely appropriations from the Fr-deml treasury. The tilling of the flats in front of the ciiy will add I to the adjacent lands and parte, now owned I hy the United States, a large und valuable do- c main, sulllcient, it is thonght, to reimburse il? j entire coat, and will also, as an incidental re- j suit, secure the permanent improvement ol the river for the purposes ol navigation. The Constitution having invested Congress with t supreme and exclusive jurisdiction over the t District of Columbia, its citizens must ol t *>?cesfcity look to Constaae alone lor all need- i ful legislation allocting tEeir interests, anil the territory of this District is the coinmi property of the people of the United State who, equally with its resident citizens, a interested in the prosperity ol their t-Hpii.nl, cannot doubt that you will be amply su.stiiiui by the general voice ol the country in ur measures you may adopt for this purpose, also invite tho lavorable consideration ol Co Kress to the wants of the public schools ol tl District, as exhibited in the report of t commissioners. While the number ol pnpi is rapidly increasing, no adequate provi.ii< exists lor a corresponding increase of schc accommodation, and the commissioners ? without the means to meet this urgent nee A number ol the buildings now used iorsclic purposes are rented, and are, in import a particulars, unsuited for the purpose. T cause of popular education in the District Columbia is surely entitled to the same eo sideration at the hands ol the national yover ment as in the several States and Territoi it to which munificent grants ol the public Ian have been made lor the endowment ol schot and universities. Kmii;i:i?ui:i> B. IIaies. Executive Mansion, Dec. 1, 1879. The Secretary of the Interior's Repor In his report of the condition of tl affairs of the Interior Department, Seer tary Schurz says that the difficulties coi nected with what is styled the " Indir Knnn atonflilu nrmwitlir ; piuuiciu liayg uvtu owvi?*uj consequence of the demand for Westei lands for agricultural and mining pu poses. Speaking of the presence of troo] among the Indians, Mr. Schurz sa; that it is an error to suppose that tf constant presence of force is necessary keep the tribes quiet.

UKGEI>. >o Mr. Sherman devotes a good portion is oi his report to resumption, and takes fe up the question of the retirement of the > legal-tender notes. He pays: i. 44 :*. :? a iu Jtvuiu uli uuuciutility, iu 10 ictg spectfully recommended that by law id the resumption fund be specifically de)f fined and set apart for the redemption of re United States notes, and that the notes in redeemed shall only be issued in exis change for or purchase of coin or bulr lion.. er It would be only in an emergency, not i- easy to foresee and not likely to arise, t- that the power to sell b^nds for resumpal tion purposes woulc be exercised, but th it should be preserved to meet any exir traordinavy demand for the redemption of notes which might possibly occur. a The secretary is, therefore, oHhe opinion that the provisions of existing law are ample to enable the department to al maintain resumption, even upon the 1S present volume of United States notes. ;e In view, however, of the large inflow of es gold into the country, ana the high price of public securities, it would seem )n to be a favorable time to invest a portion of the sinking fund in United States a* notes, to be retired and cancelled, and J? in this way gradually to reduce the maxls imum of such notes to the sum of $300,000,000, the amount fixed by the re3e sumption act. THE SlLVF.lt QUESTION, e. Tn regard to silver lie says: " It is impossible to ascertain what amount of silver coin, based upon the rates of sixteen of silver to one ot gold, can be maintained at par with gold, but it is manii fest that this cnn only be done by the government holding in its vaults the preat body at the silver coin. It would " seem that nothing would be gained by l0 an unlimited coinage, unless it is desir ? able to measure all values by the silver standard. The secretary cannot too j. strongly urge the importance of adjustj. ing the coinage rates of the two metals r* ly treaties with commercial nations, J and until this can be done of limiting j the coinage of the silver dollar to such a ^ sum as, in the opinion of Congress, would enable the department to readily ls maintain the standard dollars of gold {y and silver at par with each other." re THE NATIONAL BANKS. ? Of the national banks he says: " The advantages of this system over any system of banks hitherto devised are that rt their circulating notes are secured bers yond peradventure of loss, they are of e* universal credit in the country wherever e' ssued, they are more perfectly prore tected from counterfeiting, they equally" ize exchanges between distant parts of ?r tlie country, they are promptly ic1_ deemed on demand at one common place, the banks are subject to a strict e" and vigilant surveillance by independl. ent officers of the government, their cocdilion is frequently made known to the ir public, and they contribute a very large jr percentage of their profits in the way of r taxes.

U THE CUSTOMS, 'k Mr.' Sherman, says there has been a e- marked improvement iu the collection i- of revenue from customs in the past two i: years, and a saving of 8818,500.54 has If been effected. In discussing customs *s questions the secretary says the duties rc collected on passengers' baggage at the e- port of New York during the three !D years ending the 30th of June, were as f. follows: 1877. $63,031.11; 1878, ?86,11 750.64: 1871), .9171,857.51. The law does js not define any limit of quantity or value e, in regard to either household or peri* sonaf effects of persons arriving in the 'n United States which may be admitted re free of duty, and it is recommended that r- a limitation governing the free entry of ie these classes of articles may be estab1* lished by Congress. is Dj TIIE.INTEIIKAT. REVENUE, i- Alter reciting the figures in the report of the commissioner of internal revenue, and alluding to tl.e fact that the chief t sources of revenue are from tobacco and spirit, the secretary says: "The very large proportion 01 iuw revuuuc umtcu ,0 from these sources is of itself an ars/.us' ment for the stability of the rates of r.' taxation upon thorn. The simple agig tation of the question of the reduction of the tobacco tax caused a temporary ... suspension of operations in various ? manufactures of tobacco, and it is estimated by the commissioner of internal jg revenue "to have caused a diminution in ,? the receipts from tax on that articl. j. during the first half year of 1878 of jj nearly two millions of dollars. Besides !(j reducing the income from the tax, the ,r uncertainty arising from an anticipaId tion of a change of rated by suspending production, threw multitudes of workj. ing people out of employment. The -e change of rates in the tax on tabacco to ana spirits/or the anticipation of such B. a change, tends at once to diminish the e. revenue", disorganize the industries re)f iating to those commodities, and to des. range trade." 11 n How* Many People Have Fifty Dollars Some one said the other day that in the entire world the number of people 111 who had $50, or its equivalent in cash, ir at their command was extremely small > ?so small, indeed, that altogether they lt would not outnumber the inhabitants " of the little kingdom of Belgium, wliich l* has it population of 6,000,000 souls, i5-.it this estimate appears to be far below the mark in the light of the fact that in the savings banks of France in 1877 there were deposited no Jess than $153,800,ts 000 by 2,863,283 depositors, the average sum of ear.h depositor being ?60. Tnc t, number of these depositors continually increases, and they are, to a very large r- extent, members of the working classes. 1. So in England, also, the number of delt oofcitors in the postal savings bank is 3_ very large?not less, on the whole, than i two millions?and their deposits, on an { average, amount nearer to ?250, the | limit allowed than to*$50.
