Charges fug assumption that, s azainst the govorn- mentand in favor'of private claims and in torests, the usual rules and limitations of business principles and just dealings should be waived. These ideas have been unhappily nuch encouraged by legislative acquicscence. telief from contt made with the govern awent s too casily acceded in favor of the citizen; the failure to support claims agamst the government by Proof, is often supported by no better consid eration than the wealth of the government and the poverty of the claimant. Gratuities iu the form of ‘pensions are granted upon other real ground than the needy condition of the applicant or for reasons less valid; uud large sums are expended for public buildings aud other improvements upon rep- resentations scarcely claimed to be related 0 public nceds and necessitics. The entent 10 which the consideration of ‘such matter subordinates and postpones action upon subjects of great public iwmportance, but still involving no special private or paitisan interests, sbould arrest attention and lead to reformation, A few of the numerous illustratious of this con- dition may be stated. SUPREME COURT CALENDATL ‘The crowded condition of the calendar of the supreme court, and the delay to suitors and denial of justice sulting therefrom, has n strongly urged upon the attentidn of congress with a plan for the relief of the situation, approved by those who are well pble to Judge of its merits. While this sub. Aect remains without effective consideration many laws have been passed providing for the holding of terms of mferior courts at places tosuit the convenience of localitie: or to lay the foundation of an application for the erection of a new public building, PUBLIC LANDS, Repeated recommendations have been submitted for the amendment und chango of the laws relating to our public Jands so that their spoliation and diversion to other uses than for homes of - honest settlers might be preventea, While a measure to meot this conceded necessity of reform, re malns awaiting the action of congress mauy claims to the public lands and applications for their donation in favor of states and iudi- wviduals have been allowed, INDIAN APFAIRS, A plan In aid of Indian management vee- ommended by those well informed as con- taining yaluable foaturcs in furtherance of tho solution of the Indian problem has thus fur failed of legislutive sanction, while grants of doubtful expedicncy to ruilroad corporations permitting thom to pass through Tudlau reservations, have greatly multiplicd UNITED STATES PRISONS, The propriety and necessity of erection of one or more prisons for tho confluement of United States convicts, and a postofiice bu_‘lnllug in the national capitol are not dis puted. But these needs yo, remain uun Bwered while scores of public buildings haye been erected where their necessity for public Purposes is uot apparent. PENSIONS. A vovision of our pension laws could be ensily mdo whioh would rast upon Just prin- ciplos and provido for cvery worthy appli cant, But while our geueral pension laws rewain confused and imperfect hundreds of our private pension laws are aunually passed which are the sources of unjust diserimina- ticn aud popular demoralization.

Having first fulfilled the just demands of international comity by affording full oppor- tunity for her majesty’s government 1o act in relief of tie situation, I considered a pro longation- of the discussion 1pon tobe unwar- declined to further character of the rson whose continuance in such function would destroy that mutual confidence which is cssential to the good understanding of the two covernments, and was inconsistent with the welfare and self-respoct of the govern ment of the United States. The usual inter- change of communication has since continued through Lier mujesty’s legation in this city. BOUNDAKY MATTERS. The const and boundary between our Alaskan possessions und I3ritish Columbia, I regret to say, has not received the attention demanded by its importance, and which on several occasions heretofore 1 had the houor 10 recommend to the congress, Adequate app riations for reconnoisance and survey to obtain proper knowledge of tho locality and geographical features of the boundary should be authorized by congress with as little deluy as possible. ~ The knowleage to be only thus obtained in us cssential pre requisite for negatiation for ascertuining u cowion boundary, or us i preliminary to any other mode of settloment. it is much o be desired that some agree- ment should bo reached with her mujesty's government by which damages to life and proporty ou the great lakes may bo aleviated by removing or humanly regulating the obstacles to reciprocal assistance o wrecked or straudard_vessels, The act of June 19, 1873, which offers to Canadian ves- Bols 4ocoss 10 our inland waters in aid of wrecked or disablod vessels, has not yot be- come offcctive through concucrent uction by Cunada, The due protection of our citiz runted, and there ens of French origin or descent from the clain of mlitai service i the event of their returning 1o or visiting France, has calied forth corres. h'was laid before you at the last session, In the absence of conventional agreement us to naturalization, which is greatly to be desired, this government sces 10 occasion to recede from the sound posi tion it has maintained, not only with re to I'rance, but as to all countrles with which the United States have not concluded special troatios, Irenew my recommendation of two years ago for the 0 0f a bill for the refund ing to certain Gerwan steamship lines of the mterest upon toguage dues illegally exacted. 5axbA AND CHINA. After referring to our interests in Samoa he takes up the Chinese question, He refers 10 his approval of the bill for the exclusion of Chineso luborers; to his 1ecommendation that Chinese subjects who have suffered loss av the hands of lawless citizens should be recompensed, and says that appropriations for that purpose having been made, toe fund awaits reception by the Chinese government He mentions the rejection by the Chinese government of the treaty, and cancludes this subject by saying that as the influx of Chinese luborers is contrary to the expressod wishes of both governments it will ceuse, and exprosses i hopa for pleasanter relations between the two governments in the future.

TILE TONNAGE ACT, The act of June 26, 1554, and the acts 1o the ton- al amendatory thereof, in_relation nagoe duties, will be' made a subject of spec and more ‘dotailed communication at the prosent session. INMMIGRATION LAWS, The president says in effeot that their abuse calls for o radical vevision; that the case with which certificates of American cit- izenship can be obtained has led to u cluss of spurious citizens who are getting us into com plications - with the foreign governments whose allegianco they have thrown off with- out becoming citizens of this country or moving their residence from countries whose citizenship they have discarded. Our laws regulating the issue of passports should, therefore, be carefully revisod and the con' stitution of & contral burcau of rogistration ut the capital is again strongly recommended CONSULAL OFFICES, Tho president recommonds the cutting own of the consular oftices, and the so-catled notarial or unofficial fees which our ropre sentativos abroad are now permitted to treat as parsonal perquisities should be forbidden that a systom of consular inspection should be instituted, and that a limited nuwber of secretarics of legution-at-large stould be au thorized.
