THE PRESIDENT REPLIED AS FOLLOW: Mr. Minister and Mr. Assistant Minister: Ten years ago one of my predecessors ‘n ofiice received liere the three envoys who consti- tuted the first diplomatic mission sent by the Emperor of China to the United States of America. Their coming was welcomed as auspicious, not only of a better uudersianding between the two governments, but as indicat- ing aprobable increase of commercial reia- lions and facilities between their peopls. ‘Those anticipations proved to be well-founaed. It gives me pleasure therefore to again welcome enyoys from China, especially as you inform me that they com? with the inteatioa and desire to estallish a permanent legatioa at this capitol upon a footing with those of other nations. I cannot doubt that the pre- sence of such a legation wiil tend to increase and cement the friendly international rela viors now existing, d will be the means of removing whatever dificulties and of sulving whatever questions may arise between the two nations. It is an additional gratification to find that for the discharge of these delicate and re sponsible duties, the selection of the Emperor has fallen upon enyoys who are so well and favorably known here through their previous intercourse with our countrymen. Cordially reciprocating the friendly senti- ments and good wishes you have expressed on the part of the Emperor of China, permit me to assure you of my good wishes for his Majesty's health and happiness and for the continued well deing aud prosperity of the Empire over which he presides. $ The follo ving is an official translation of THE CREDENTIALS. The Emperor of China to the President of the _ United States of America, greeting. Since the intercnange of treaties between your government and China, relations of amity and (el having been uniformly and sincerely maintained, it is now our ple: sure to especially appoint Chen Lan Pia, d-c- orated with the peacock feather, wearing the button of the second rank, president of ths board of sacrifice, to reside at _vour capital as, envoy extraordinary: and Young Wing, Wearing the button of the second rank, in- tendent of circuit, as assistant envoy; and it is also our pleasure that they be at liberty to 0 and come as occasion may require. ‘We are fnlly assured that Chen Lan Pin and his assistant are just and honorable men. and We trust that in the discharge of their ple: eee duties they will give mutual satisfac. ion. Having by the Will of Heaven, succeeded to Our Great Patrimony, we regard, without discrimination, China and all foreign nations as members of one family, and we desire that henceforth our relations with your govern- ment may be further strengthened, and that both nations may enjoy lasting peace, which is our sincere hope. Kwang Shu, 4th year, Ist month, 25th day. (February 26:h 1878. The iN aero to-day is not the first ever inese embassy. Ten years ago Mr. me, our minister to China, resigaed is position and accepted that of Chinese em- bassador to this country, which he was ten- dered by the Emperor. He came to the United States accompanied by two natives, and was tendered a reception similar to the one of to- day. He negotiated the Burlingame treaty, upon an conclusion of which his mission eased. THE CONFEDERATE ARCHIVES.—J.

Pressed himself as follows upon this important subject: “I deem it proper to lay before the board tha views which will contro! my action ander the Hil passed by Congress on the 19h of Jane, 78, ‘to provide for the revision aud correction ‘assessments for special improvements in th > District of Columbia.” This course seems more necessary because of certain recent opinions of the attorney for the District from which Lam | Constrained, reluctantly, to disseut. inied by the bar | “T assume that the Dill was intended to be a measure of relief to the tax-payers of this Dis. trict. It was sounderstood and declared to be, | both in the committees and when before the | That upon The | | z Week they select | two houses of Congress; and the fact that oa every street, where assessments have beea re- vised, large reductions have been made, shows that reli ‘as greatly needed. “ The act reads as follows:—‘ That the Com- missioners of the District of Columbia ba, and they aie hereby, directed to enforce the col- lection, according to existing laws, of all assessments for special improvements pre ared under an act of the Legislative Assem- ly of August tenth, eighteen hundred and seVenly-one, as charges upon the property benefited by the improvements in respect to which said assessments were made: Frovided, omplaint being made to the Com: missioners wit thirty days from the pas- sage of this aci of erroneous or excessive charges in respect to any of said assessin nts which remain unpaid, said Commissioners are uthorized to revise Such assessments ed of, and to correct the same: Tlificates of assessment have been sued they shall issue to the holder of such ifcate a drawback certifcats for the amount of such erroncous or excessive age, Which certificates shail be received at lime in payment of assessments for spe- improvements.” “The complaints of erroneous and excessiva charges have been so general that it may safely assumed that every unpaid assessinent is subject to revision. Aid as, in general, tie rvevision must be made by streets, it mast’ ne- cessarily include all lots fronting ou the im- | Proved street and subject to assessment, BENEFITS, In proceeding to execute this law, the first question to be settled 1 Wat assessments are we required to enforce?

But regard- sie opinions of our attoraey, though en- Utied vw great respect, as adviso-y only, | ean- hol permit them to conclude te exercise of my own judgment and couscience, especially asmy position ou this subject pundautly supported by the rulings of nis immediate pre- decessor. To admit s @ construction as he proposes is to ignore and evade the plain Imeaning Ot a series of legislative acis, all speaking the same uumistakable lainguae. Nor can I accept the rules amd modes of ad ministration followed by the board of public works as eatitled to special consideration as precedents for our guidance. Moreover. the action of that board on this subject was not at all uniform. A notable exception is to be found cn Massachu-eits avenue, between Lith and loth streets, where, on complaint of two ished senators, both lawyers, and d, that their property was no‘ that improvement, tle assess ere canceled. These etnivent lawyers and senators justly appealed for protection to the language employed in this act, and they obiained it Why may not all citizens and taxpayers claim the same protection of law? “1 hold further, that in ail cases where dam- ages have beea awarded by the board of audit fur injuries to property, such award must be accepted by us as couclusive evidence that the property has not been benefited by the improvement, and is not therefore subject to assessment. For it is to be presumed that the amount awarded is, in the gackansas of the board, the balance or excess of damages over all benefits received. Nor is it for general beneti lung from the improvement of streeis, that private property can lawfully be assessed. These general benefits are paid for out of the general fund, which bears two-thirds of ihe cost, aud to which all tax-payeis con- tnbute. it is for special benefits, and for these alone, thet we are authorized t assess the other one-third of the cost of an improve. ment agaiust the property specially benefited thereby. INTEREST. “The revision required by this law is ueither more nor less than a re-assessment, ana the fact that in every case where revision has ten completed large reductions have been made in these assessments—amounting in the case of some streets to fifty per cent.— tends to prove, if it does not eonciusively prove, that as yet no legal and proper bills of assessment have been rendere?; in other words, that the ascessments heretofore made are both ‘erroneous and excessive.’ Lf this be So, as it cleanly is, then I hold tat the taxpay- ers are not in default, and that they are chargeable with interest oniy from the date of delivery to them of the revised and corrected bills. They are in the position of debtors,who hold themselves ready to pay all lawful and ces claims whenever demanded. A formal nder of any less sum than the amount of the assessment was useless, because the collector could not accept partial payment. He must receive all or none. They refused payment, not because they were unwilling to pay their Jawful taxes, but,in most cases, under legal advice; and test cases are now before the courts for adjudication. “If, as we have assumed, the act which we are uired to execute is, indeed, ameasure Of relief, we can reasonably take no other view of the question of interest. For if ten percent. per annum for five years be added to the re- vised bil!s, it is clear that what is ined by revision will be lost by interest, and the tax- Payer will be without. any relief whatever. The claim against him in 1878 will be a3 large as it was in 1873. CERTIFICATES AND BONDS. “Tt may be urged that under my construc- tion of the law of June 19. 1878, taxes enough will not be collected to redeem the outstan: ing assessment certificates and eight per cent. improvement bonds. Lreply that, even if tis be so, we are not responsible for the result, or for any other eres oye It isour previ to administer the law according to its plain meaning and intent; and that is, to do justice in this matter of special assessments between the District of Columbia and its taxpaying cit- zeus. And Congress having clothed us with ample powers for this lene we cannot ~~ k the duties and responsibilities of our po- ions. “The holders of the certificates occupy the position of purchasers at tax sale or sale under execution, and as investers in this species of property they assumed all the risks incident to the speculation. The rule of caveat emptor clearly applies to them, and no doubt their iisks have been covered by ample margins. The fact is well known that these certificates were, to a large extent, issued in Saymons for work to contractors whose necessities com- pelied them to sell; and that for a time the: weie purchaseable in the market at 40 to 5 cents on the dollar. These holders are, more- over, sufliciently protected by the law, which rovides that drawback certificates be issue to them for all erroneous or excessive charges,’ etc. And strange to say, while the’ are thus protected, no [eos gecel whatever rd made for redress to tho: Se property owners who have paid these ‘erroneous and exces- sive assessments. Most certainly the holders of those certificates have no greater claim to our consideration thau the tax-burdened citi- zens of this District whom we officially repre- sent. Those aggrieved, if any, must to trey ioe or the courts for redress. “ But there is no reason to ap; that our collections of special taxes not be sul- ficient to redeem the outstanding certificates and bonds for which they are pledg-d. The amount of vapaid assess- ments at this date ts........ $2,108,000 Amount of outstanding cer tifcates...... $2.00 Amouct ot outstanding bonds 78000 — 1,072,050 Excess of unpaid assessments...
