Tbe President eent the following
message to Congress to-day:
TO the Senate and Hoosb or Rbp
bbsentattvbs: In my annual message
of December 1, 1873, while inviting
general attention to all tbe recommen
dationo ?ibu? by the Sssrct?ry of War
your special attention wss invited to
tbe importance of preparing for war
in time of peaoe, by providing proper
armament (or our sea coast defences.
Proper armament is of vastly more im?
portance than fortifications. Tbe lat?
ter can bo supplied very speedily for
temporary purposes, when needed; tho
former cannot. Therm views gain in?
creased strength and pertinence as
years roll by. I have now, again, the
honor to call special attention to the
condition o! the armament of our for?
tifications, and the absolute neoessity
for immediate provision by Con?
gress for tbe procurement of
heavy cannon. The large expenditures
required to supply tbe number of guns
for four forts is the strongest argu?
ment tbat can be adduced for a liberal
annual appropriation for tbeir gradual
accumulation. In time of war, snob
preparations oannot bo made. Can?
non cannot be purchased in open mar?
ket, nor manufactured at short notice.
They most be tbe product of years o#
experience and labor. I herewith in
oloae copies of a report of the' Chief of
Ordnaaee and of a board of ordinauoe
officers, on tbe trial of an eigbt inch
k rifle, converted from a ten-inoh smooth
bore, whiob shows very conclusively
an economical means of utilizing these
useless smooth bores, and making
them into eigbt inoh rifles, capable of
in my opinion, be so utilized, and tho
appropnation reqri^t6d ftry-lnVOBief
, of Ordnance of $200.000, to oommeuoe
these conversions is ea.ruestly reoom.
me6ded. While Convinced *or 'tqe
eoonomy end necessity of these con?
versions, tbe determioatioa of the bent
add most eaonomioal method of pre?
serving guns of still larger calibre
should no longer be delayed. The ex?
perience of other nations, bassd on
the new oooditioos of defenee,
brought prominently forward by tbe
introduction of iron-olads into every
navy afloat, demands heavier melted
and rifle gons of not less than twelve
iuobes in oalibre. These enormous
masses, hurling a shot of 700 pounds,
can alone meet many of the require?
ments of the national defences. They
must be provided, and experiments on
a large scale oau alone givo the data
necessary for She determination of the
question. A suitable proving ground,
with all the facilities and conveniences
referred to by the Chiof of Ordnance,
with a liberal annual appropriation, is
an undoubted necessity. The guns
now reudy for trial oanuot be experi?
mented with without funds, and the
eutimate of $250,000 for tbe purpose is
deemed reasonable, and is strongly re?
commended. The eoo8tant appeals for
legislation on the armament of fortifi?
cations ought no longer to be disre?
garded, if CoogresB desires in peace to
prepare tbe important material, with?
out whioh future wars must inevitably
lead to disaster. This subject is sub?
mitted with the hope that the aouei
deratiou it deserves may be given it at
the preseut session.
