Third Thath manufacturing operations ef the Ordnance Depart meets be conccutraiea at three arsen als and an" STTmory, and that ths re maining arsenals be sold and the pro eeeds applied to this object by the Ordnance Department. The appropriations for XITEK AND HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS t ot the torrent year wers 05,01 3.CO0.- Tfith bit approval the Secretary of War directed that of this amount 52, COO.000 should be expended and no new works should be begun and none pros ecuted which were not of national im portance. Subsequently this amouut was increased to 83,237,000, and works are now progressing on this basis. The improvements of the South Pass of the Mississippi Elver under Jas. B. Ea4s and his- associates is progressing favorably. At the present time there is a channel of 20 and S-10 feet in depth between the jetties at the mouth - f the pass, and 18) feet at the head of the pass. 2i either channel, now evex has the width required befere the payments can be made by the United States. A commission of en gineer officers is now examining these works, and their reports will be pres ented as soon as received. THE REPORT OF THE 8ECXRTART THE NAVY or shows that branch of the service to be in a condition as effective as it is pos sible to keep it with the means the ap propriations gives the department. It is. of course, impossible to rival the costly and progressive establishments ef the great European Powers with the eld material - of our navy, to which no increase has been authorized since the war, except the eight small cruisers built to supply the place of others which had goae to decay. Yet the most has been doae that was possible with the means at command, and by substantially re building some of oar old ships with durable material, and completely re pairing and refitting our monitor fleet. the navy has been gradually so brought up that though it does not maintain -its relative position among the pro gressive navies of the world, it is now in a condition more powerful and ef fective than it has ever been in time ef peace. The complete repairs of our five heayy iron-clads are only delayed on account of the inadequacy of the appropriations made last year for the working bureaus of the department whieh were actually less ia amount than those made before the war. net- Withstanding the greatly enhanced -Jrtce of labor and materials, and the increase in the cost or the naval ser vice, growing out of the universal use and great expense of steam machinery, The monay necessary for these repairs should be provided at once, that they may be completed without further un necessary delay and expense. When this is dene all the strength that there is in the navy will be developed and made useful to its full capacity, and all will be powerful for the purpose of defense, and also for offensive action should necessity for that arise within a reasonable distance from our shores, and the fact that our navy is not more modern, and powerful than it Is has been made a cause of complaint against the Secretary of the Navy by persons who. at the same time, criti cise and complain of his endeavors to bring the navy that we have to its best and most efficient condition. But the good sense of the country will un derstand that it is owing' to his practi cal action that we have at this time any effective navy force at command. THE REPORT Or THE POSTMASTER GENERAL , stows the excess of expenditures, ex cluding expenditures on account of previous years over the receipts for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1B76, to be 94,151,988.66. The es- timated expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1876 are 836,723,433.43 estimated revenue for the same period is $30,645,165, leaving an estimated ex cess of expenditures to be appropri ated Of 86,078,267.43. The Postmaster General, like his predecessor, is convinced that a change ef the basis of adjusting the SALARIES OF POSTMASTERS of the fourth class is necessary for the good ef the service as well as for the interest of the Government, and ur gently recommends that ins compen sation of this class of Postmasters above mentioned be based upon the business of their respective offices, as ascertained from the sworn returns to the Auditor of stamps cancelled. A few Postmasters in the Southern States have expressed great apprehen sion of their personal safety on ac count of their connection with the Postal Service, and specially requested that their reports of the apprehended danger should not be made public lest it should result in the loss of their lives; but no positive testimony or in terference has been submitted except in the case of a mail messenger at Spartansburg, in South Carolina, who reported that he had been violently driven away, while in charge of the mails, on account of his political af filiations. An assistant superintendent of the railway mail service investigated this case and reported that the messenger had disappeared from his poet, leaving his work to be performed by a substi tute. The Postmrster General thinks this case is sufficiently suggestive to justi fy him in recommending that a more severe punishment should be provided for the offense of assaulting any per son in charge of mails, or of retarding or otherwise obstructing him by threats of personal injury. A very gratifying result is presented in the fat that the deficiency of this department during the last fiscal year was reduced to 94,081,790.18, as against $6,169,93.88 of the preceding year. THB DIFFERENCE can be traced to the large increase in its ordinary receipts, which greatly exceed the estimates therefor, and a slight decrease in its expeuditures. The ordinary receipts of the Post Of fice Department for the past seven fis cal years have increased at the average rate of over 8 per cent, per annum, while the increase of expenditures for the same period has been about 5 per cent, per annum, and the decrease of deficiency in the revenue has been ot the rate of only two per cent, per annum. . THE KEPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER j OF AGRICULTURE, ! ftpcompanying this message, will be found one of great interest, marking as it does the great progress of the last century in the variety of produce of the soil ; the increased knowledge and skill of labor in producing, saving, and manipulating the same for the use of man ; in the improvement of ma chinery to aid the agriculturist in his , labor, and in a knowledge of the sci entific subjects necessary to a thorough system in economy in agricultural product ionsjiaraely Chemist ry.Hot any Entomology, etc A study of this re port by those interested in agriculture ul deriving their support from it, will find it of value in pointing out. those articles which are raised in greater quantity than the needs of the world requires, and must cell, therefore, for less than the cost of production, and those which command a profit over the cost of production because there is not an over production. I call spe cial attention to the need of that de partment for a new gallery for the re ception of the exhibits returned fromd tho Centennial exhibition, including the exhibits donated by very many foreign nations, and the recommenda tions of the Commissioner of Agri culture generally. Tne REPORTS OF THE DISTRICT COM MISSIONERS AND THE BOARD OF HEALTH are just now received, too late to read them. and to make recommendations thereon, and they are herewith sub mitted. . - . THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION held in'Philadclphia this year, in com memoration of the one hundredth an niversary of American Independence, has proven a great success, and will no doubt bo of enduring ail vantage to the country. It has shown the great pro gress in the arts, sciences and mechan ical skill made in a single century and demonstrated that we are but little be hind the older nations in any one branch, while in some we scarcely have a rival. It has served, too, not only to bring people and products of skill and labor from all parts of the world to gether, but in bringing people together from all sections of eur country, whieh must prove a great benefit in the in formation imparted and in the 'pride of country engendered. It has been suggested by scientists interested in and connected with the Smithsonian Institution in a communication here with, that the Government exhibit be removed to the Capitol, and a suitable building be erected or purchased for its accommodation as a permanent ex hibit. I earnestly recommend this, and believing that Congress would second this view. I directed that all Govern ment exhibits at the Centennial Exhi bition should remain where they are, except such as might be injured by re maining in a building net intended as a protection in inclement weather, or such as may be wanted by the depart ment furnishing them, until the ques tion of permanent exhibition is acted on. Although the moneys appropria ted by Congress te enable the partici pation of the several Executive De partments in the International Exhi bition of 1876 were not sufficient to carry out the undertaking to the full extent at first contemplated, it gives me pleasure to refer to the very effi cient and creditable manner in which the Board appointed from these sever al departments to provide an exhibi tion on the part of the GovcrnmentnTave discliaged their duties with the funds placed at their command without a precedent to guide them in the prepa ration of such a display. The success of their labors was amply attested by the sustained attention which the con tents of the Government building at tracted during the period of exhibi tion from both foreign and native peo ple. I am strongly impressed with the value of the collection made by the Government for the purposes of the exhibition, illustrating as it does the general resources ef the country the statistical and practical evidences of our growth as a nation, and the uses of the mechanical arts and the applica tions of applied science in the admin istration of the affairs of the Govern ment. Mny nations have voluntari ly contributed their exhibits to the United States to increase the interest in any permanent exhibition Congress may provide for. For this act of generosity they should receive the TnANKS OF TnE PEOPLE, and I respectfully suggest that a reso lution of Congress to that effect be adopted. The attention of Congress cannot be too earnestly called to the necessity of throwing some greater safeguard over and declaring the ELECTION OF A PRESIDENT. ; Under the present system there seems to be no provided remedy for contest ing the election in any one State. The remedy is partially, no doubt, in the enlightenment of electors. The compulsory suppoit of free schools, and the disfranchisement of all who cannot read and write the English language, after a fixed proba tion would meet my hearty approval. ; I would not make this apply, however, i to those who are already voters, but I would to all becoming so, after the ex piration of a probation fixed ujion. Foreigners coming to this country to become citizens who are educated in their own language would acquire the requisite knowledge of ouro during the necessary residence to obtain nat uralization. IF TRET DID NOT take enough interest in onr language to aconire a sufficient knowledge of it to enable them to study the institu tions and laws of the country intelli gently I would not confer upon them the right to enact laws, nor to sit with those who do. I append to this message for conven ient reference a synopsis of adminis trative events, and of all recom mendations to Congress made by me during the last seven years. Time may show some of these lecom menta tions not to have been wisely conceiv ed, but I believe the larger part WILL BE NO DISCREDIT to the administration. One of these recommendations met with the united opposition of one political party in the Senate, and with a strong opposition from the other, namely, the treaty for the annexation of SAN DOMINGO to the United States, to which I shall specially refer, maintaining as I do, if my views had been concurred in. the country would be in a more pros perous condition to-day, both political ly and financially. San Domingo is fertile, and upon its soil may be grown just those tropical productions which the United States use so much, and which are produced or prepared for market now by slave labor, namely, sugar, coffoe, dyewoods, mahogony. tropical fruits, tobacco, etc. , About 73 per cent, of the exports of Cuba are consumed in the United States. A large per centage of the exports of Brazil also find the same ni;irl:et. These are paid for almost exclusively in coin, legislation particulary in Cuba being unfavorable to a mutual ex change of the products of each coun try. Flour shipped from he Mississippi River to Havana can pass by the very eutrance to the city on its way to a port in Spain, there pays a duty fix ed upon articles to be re-exported, transferred to a Spanish vessel, and brought back almost to the point of starting, paying a second duty and still leave a profit over what would be re ceived by direct shipment. AH that is produced in Cuba could be produced in rtan Domingo, whieh being- part of the United States. commerce between the island and the main land would be free, there would be no export duties on her shipments, nor import duties on thoso coming here. There would be no import duties npon the supplies, machinery, etc., going- from the States. The effect that would have been pro duced upon Cuban commerce with these advantages to a rival is observa ble at a glance. The Cuban question would have been settled long ago in favor of Free Cuba.Mlundred3 of American vessels wUiilJ- now be ad vantageously used in transporting' the valuable woods and other products of the soil of the-Uland to a market; and in earryhi''upplies and emigrants to it. Tfra bland is but sparsely settled. while it has an area sufficient for - tke profitable employment of several mil lions of people. The soil would have soon fallen into the hands of the Unit ed States capitalists. The products are so valuable in commerce that em igration there would have been en couraged. The emancipated race of the South, would have found there a con genial home where their civil rights would not be disputed, and where their labor would be much sought after, and the poorest among them could have found the means to go there in cases of great oppression and cruelty, such as has been practiced in many places within the last eleven years. Whole communities would have sought refuge in San.Dominge. I do not suppose the whole race would have gone, nor is it desirable that they should go. Their labor is desirable, indispensable almosf, where they now are; but the possession of the territory would have left the ne gro master of the situation by enabling him to demand his rights at home on pain of sending them else where. I do not present these views now as a recommendation of the re newal of the subject of annexation, but I refer to it to vindicate my previ ous action in regard to it. With the present Congress MT OFFICIAL LIFE TERMINATES. It is not probable that public affairs will ever aga'n receive attention from me farther than as a citizen of the Re public, always taking a deep interest in the honor and integrity and prosper ity of the whole land.
