The sages Qf that period weie anxious to protdot their posterity from I tho evils which they themselve had experienced ; hehoo in providjing a - circulating muedium they conferred I t, upon Congress the power to coin mon -y and rigulh t) the value thereof, at a the sante timo prohibiting 'the States ,forn making ar.ythIng but gold and . silver a tenjer in payments of debts I t .'Tile a1non1alosIR condition of o'ir ctir- i 3 rainjcy Isa in ptriking cottrust with that i ,vwih was originaly designed. Our , circulation now embraces-first, notes I of the national'banks, whioh are made I receivable for all dues to the Govern mant, excluding impoats, and by all, its roditors, taking in payment of a ilteret upon its bouds and the secouri- I tios'themselves; second, legal tender j notes, isuod by the United States, I and which the law requires shall be ,I received. as well Ii payment of all 4 debts between the citizens as of all GOvetiinent duas excepting Imposts ; and, third, gold and silver coin. By ;a the'operation of our present system of I finance, however, the metallic ourron cy, when colleoted, is reiorved only for one class of Government creditors, . Whlo, holding its bonds, senI-annually re'dolve their interest in coin from the national Treasury. There is no rea son which will . be accepted as natis- I factgry.by the people why those who I defend ui on the land and protect us on the sea ; the pensioner upon the < gr6titude of the.nation, bearing the ioars and wounds reeived while in Itsl service; the public servants in the various department of the Govern-' ment; the farmer who supplies the I soldiers of the army and the sailors of I the navy; the artisan who toils in. the i nation's workshops, or the mechanies I I and laborers who build its edifices and construci its fuits and vessels of war, I - should i paynuentof their just and I liard-earned-dues receive depreciated 1 paper while another class of their ootintrymon, no more deserving,are i puid ini coiii of gold and silver. Equal and exact justice requires that all the I orditors of the Government should be . paid in a currency possessing, a uni-'' t form valte, This can only be nocom. 1 plished by ,the restoration of currency to the standard established by the f ' Constitution ; and by this means we ' r would remove a discrimination which I s may, ift it has not already done so, .oreate a prejudice that nay become , deep-rooted and wide-spread, and i imperil the national credit.

The six per cent. bords issued to those companies amounted on the 5th Instant to $44,837,000, and addi tional work had been performed to the extent of $3, 200,000. The 8ecreta ry of the Interior in August last Invi tod my attention to the report of a Government dii eotor of the Union Pa. elfo Railroad Company who had been speially Instructed to ex-ouine the location, construotion, and equipment of their road. I submitted for the opinion of tie Attorney General cer tain questions in regard to the au thority of the Executive which arose upon this report and those whioh bd from time to time beon presented by the comnissioners appointed to Inspect each sucoessive sootion of the work. After carefully considering the law of the case ho affirmed the right of the .Executive to order, if necessary, a thorough revision of the entire road. Commissioners were thereupon ap. pointed to examine this and other lines, and have recently submitted the statement of their investigations, of which the report of the Secretary of the Interior furnishes specific infer tition, The report of the Secretary of War contains information of interest and importance respecting the several bu reaus of the War Department and the operations of the army. The strength of our military foreo on the B0th of September last was forty-eight thous and men, and it is computed that by the lst of June next this number will be decreased to 43,000. It is the opinion of the Secretary of War that within the next year a considerable diminution of the infantry force may be made without detriment to the in terests of the country ; and in view of the great expense attending the mili. tary peace establishment, and.tiq ab. volate necessity of retrenchment wherever it can be applied, it is hoped that Congress will sanction the reduo tion which his report recommends. While in 1860, 1600 men cost the na tion $16,472,000, the sum of $65,982,. 000 is estimated as necessary for the support of the army during tho fiscal year ending Jnne 80, 1870. Tho esti mates of the War Department for the last two fiscal years were : For 1867, $33,814,401, and for 1868, $25,2Q5, 000. The actual expendituros quriig the periods were respeotively, $95,. 224,415 and $123,246,648. The es. timato submitted in December last for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1869, $77,124,707. The expaudi tures for the Brat quarter ending the 30th of Se ptotber Iast were $27,219, 11.7, and the Secretary of tihe Treasu ry gives $66,000,000 as the amount which will probably be required during the realul.ng thrqe quartors if there should be no redudtion of the aimy, tmaking its aggregate cost for the year considerably in excess of ninety-three millions, Tho d;ifforevce betwoon the estimates and eXpen,d!f turea for'the three fiscal yours whioli have been naned Is thu shiowh to tIe $175,545,848 for this single branch of the public service. The report of the Secretary of the Navy exhibita the operations. of thq Department and of tle Nav7 4nring the year. A considerable reduption of the force has been effected. There ar-o forty-two vessels, carrying four hundred end eleven gunns, in. the ei sqguadrons which are estblishmed ini different parts of the world. Three of timise vessels, are ,retuening to the United States,andi four 'are. used ni storeships, learimg the notmaal orfis~'ng force of thirtr'fiv v.e als,. carrying three hutadre.d end fify-sg gyns.

The causes which pro. duced this la,ge excoss of expendi ture over revenue were the restoration of service In the late' insurgent States and the putting into op6rafon' of now service established by . aot of Congress which amounted within the last two years and a half to about 48,700 miles, equal to more than one third of the whole attiount of the ser vice at the close of 'the war.
