Then industries were confined al most exclusively to the tillage of the soil ; now manufactures absorb much of th labor ot t no country, war iiDerties re main unimpaired ; the bondsmen have been freed from slavery, and wd"have become possessed ot the respect, if not the friendship, of all civilised nations' Graphic and well worked details foil w The President earnestly recommends that a constitutional amendment be submitted to the legislatures nuking it the duty o each Stale to establish and forever main tain free public schools adequate to the education of children in rudimentary branches within their respective limits irrespective of sex, c dor, bu t h, place or religion, forbidding the teaching in said schools of religious, atlheistic or pagan tenets and prohibiting the granting of any school funds or school taxes or any part thereof, cither by legislative, mauicipal or other authorities for the benefit or in aid, directly or indiiectly of any re ligious sect or denomination, or in aid, or for the bent fit of any other object of any nature or kind whatever. He alludes io the importance of correcting the evil of at amounts of untaxed church property, and estimates that by 1S90, if unchecked, this property will reach n sum exceeding three thousand million dollar, lie would suggest the taxation of all property equally, excepting only the last resting lilace of the dead. Relations with most foreign powers continued on a patisfactory aud friendly footing. The I'i evident is happy to an nounced the passage of an act by the general consent of Portugal, abolishing ilarery in the colonics. The past year has furnished no evidence of an approaching termination of the ruin ous conflict which has been raging for even years in Cuba. The same disre gard of the laws of civilized warfare and tbe just demand of humanity which have heretofore called forth expressions of con demnation jruin the nations of Christen dom have continued to blacken the sad scene. Desolation, ruin and pillage are pervading the rich fields of the one of the most fertile and productive regions of the earth, and the incendiaries torch, firing plantations and valuable factories and buildings, is the agent marking the alter nate advance and retreat of the contend ing parlies. The President narrates dam age to the interests of all commercial na tions, especially to thoso of tho United Slates and the security of property own ed by the citizens of the United States in Cuba. lie had hoped Spain could be enabled to establish pcaco in her colony. Because ol this bope and from an extreme reluctance to interfere in the affairs of another and a friendly nation, lie bai patiently and anxiously awaited the progress of events. The armed bands of cither sido now occupy the ground as in the post. The President makes a long argument nd concludes : "A recognition of the independence of Cuba being in my opin on impracticable and indefensible, the question which next presents itself, is that of the recognition ol brilligerent rights n parties to the contest." After further wgument. the Preeideut concludes: "The "cognition of independence or of belliger- fuey Icing thus iu my judgement equally DAQangible, it remains to consider what course shall be adopted. Should tbe con b'ci not soon be brought to an end by sets of the tbs evils which result therefrom, affecting J nations, and particularly the United tates, coutiuuc, in such event. I am of 0P'ia that other I inn a will he- enm Polled to assume the responsibility which devolves upou them and to seriously con der the only remaining measures possi ble, mediation and intervention." After Inn k. - . . . '-i-cr Bimtraent, lie says, "at the same vim. ... I ri . . : T"! wnue thus impressed. I do not at nme lecommend the adoption urther communication to Conrress at some period not tar remote and daring the present session, recommending what m ty then seem to me to be necessary." a ti w - Aiiuaing to smuggling through the free Bono and cattle raids on the Rio Grande, the President says, "aa expert meat of an armed ve ssel on the Rio Grande for that purpose is on trial, mod it is nopea mat it not thwarted by the shallowness of the river and other natur al obstacles, it may materially contribute to the protection of the herdsmen ot Tex as " Oecan telegraphs are discussed at great length, bat no allusion is made to the postal telegraph. Discussing specie resumption, the Pres- dent says : "Too much stress cannot be laid upon this question, and J hope Con grese may be induced at the earliest day practicable to insure consummation of the act of the last Congress at its last session, to bring about specie resumption on and after the first day of Junuarv. 1879. at farthest. It would be a great blessing if this could be consnmmiated at even an earlier day. Nothing seems to me more certain than that a full, healthy and permanent reaction cannot take place in favor of the industries and financial welfare of the country until we return to a measure of values recognized through out the civilised world. While we use a currency not equivalent to this standard, the world's recognised standard of spe cie becomes a commodity like products of the soil, the surplus seeking a market wherever there is a demand for it. Un der onr present system, we should want noue nor would we have any were it not that eustoms dues are paid in coin, and be cause of pledges to pay the interest on the public debt in coin. The yield of the precious metals would flow out for tbe purchase of foreign productions and leave the United States hewers of wood and drawers of water, because of wiser legislation on the subject of finance by the nations with whom we have dealings. I am not prepared lo say that I can suggest the best legislation to secure the end I most heartly recommend. L will be a source of great satisfaction to me to be able to approve any measure of Congress looking effectually towara securing the resumption. Unlimited inflation would probably bring about specio payments more speedily ;han any legislation look ing to redemption of legal tenders in coin, but it would be at the expense of honor. Tbe hgal tenders would have no value beyond set ling the present liabili ties, or properly speaking, repudiating th in. They would bring nothing after all other debts were settled. These arc a few measures which seem to m impor tant in this connection, and which I com mend to your earnest consideration. A repeal of so much of tho legal lender act as makes these noies leceivablu f-r the debts contracted after a certain date to be fK-d in the act itself ; say not later than the first of January 1876. A hearty reaction would wet ia at once and with it, a desire to make the currency equal to what it purports to be. Tho President elaborates the good effects which would follow this sugges tion. Second, that the Secretary of Treasury be authorised to redeem, sa v . not to exceed two million dollars monthly of legal tender notes by issuing in their stead a long bond bearing three sixty nve inndredths per cent of denominations rat-ging from fifty to a thousand dollars each ; third, that additional power be land. "As this will be the last message I shall have the honor of submitting io Congress before my successor is chosen, I will repeat or recapitulate the questions which 1 deem of vital importance and which may be legislated upon and settled at this session : First, that tbe States shall be required to afford the opportuni ty of a good common school education to every child within their limits. Second, no sectarian tenets shall ever be taught in any school supported in whole or in part by the State or Nation or proceeds of any tax levied upon any community ; make education compulsory so far as to deprive all persons who cannot read and write from becoming voters after the year 1S90, disfranchising none, however, on grounds of illiteracy who may be voters at the time this amendment takes effect : Third, Declare church and Si ate forever separate and distinct, but each free within their proper spheres, and that ail church property shall bear its owu proprotion of taxation : Fowth, drive out licensed im morality such as polygamy and the im portation of women for illigitimate pur poses. I recur again to the Centennial year. It would seem as though now, as we are about to begin tbe second century of our national existence, would be a most fitting time for those reforms. Fifth, enact such laws as will secure a speedy return to a sound currency such as will command the respect of the world. Believing that these views will command themselves to the great majority of the right thinking and patriotic citizens of the United States. I submit the rest to Congress. (Signed.) U. S.

A portion of the Hayden exploring ex pedition penetrated that part of Arizona occupied by tbe "Moqui Indians," a tribe differing so widely in their habits and customs from the ordinary tribes of North American Indians, as to lead to the sup position that they spring from a distinct race. They are gentle, peace-loving, and unlike the wilder tribes, do not follow the chase, but in a rnde way cultivate the soil, from which they gain a scanty sup ply of corn and some of tbe commoner vegetables. Cattle, eheep and goats, which they raised in considerable numbers, find peren nial pasturage in the valleys and on the slopes leading up to the mesas upon which their towns are bnilt. Their habitations, which are built of stone, bear evidence of having been erected at a period ante, dating the discovery of this continent, and are still substantial edifices, that give promise of remaining after the remnant of the tribe shall have passed a? ay. These houses ate frequently four sto ries high, each successive story receding like terraces ou a hillside, and am io connected as to make it uncertain where one house ends or the other begiue. The architecture -of these buildings bars a striking similarity to that of the ruins of ancient buildings fouud in many parts of Arizona, and which are not unfrequenlly met along the course of the Colorado and San Juan rivers. The men of the Moqui tribe, unlike the average Indian, preform field labor, and gather and garner their crops with a frugality which may be the outgrowth of necessity, but which seems to be the effect of a remote, but not to bo underrated civilization, which their tradi tions claim as having atone time prevailed throughout the present territories of Ari- given to the Secretary of tue TVeasUry to aona U( New Mexico, and the adjacent accommodate gold for final redemption States of Sonoro and Sinaloa in Mexico, either by increasing reveuue or dec.eas- -phe women, as in other tribes, do not ing expeiiees on both.

The re port of this gentleman, submitted last evening to the masonic grand lodge, in regard to the present statue of the orphan asylums at Oxford and Man Hill, is very interesting, and reflects credit upon the seal and energy displsyed by that gen tleman in his labors in so good a cause. Regret is felt in not being able to give the report in full. Contributions to the Oxford asylum from Dee 1, 1874, to Nov. 30, 1875, amounted to S13.095.98. Dis bursements for same period, 812,540.37, leaving on hand a balance of S551.61. These figures inelude the receipts and disbursements for Mars Hill until Sept. 1, when the books of that institution were opened. Tbe number of orphans reported as present at Oxford last year was 132 ; admitted since that report 50, making 182 ; discharged 57, died 2, runaway 3 expelled 3, leaving 105 inmates at pre sent. The total contribution in cash from September 1, to November 30, for Mars Hill asylum were $353.21. One mule was sold for $100 and $1 10 received from the Oxford asylum, making the total re ceipt 8553,34. The disbursements during this time amount to $548,20, leaving on hand $5,13. The contributions in kiud have not been so liberal as might have been expected in a country blessed with abundant crops, but some few individuals have made frequent and liberal donations. Repairs on the main building aud the erection of other buildings, the purchase of furniture, &c, havo caused the expen ses to be rather heavy, but these improve ments are of a permanent character. The number of orphans admitted to this asy lum has been 35, expelled 1, runaway 2, discharged 3, leaving now present 29 of them. 10 were transferred from Oxford, some to assist iu entertainments and olh ers for their health. The continuance of this institution is recommended by the superiutendaut for various reasons, aud th people of the west are urgently ap- c tied to to give a more hearty support to it. lialeigh Sentinel.
