- -C triotie citteen of tlie republic; but if we h5dhe teachings of History we shall not forg4 that in the life of every nation.cmer rencis ' may arise when a : resort to arms alonefcan save it from dishonor. No dan ger ffom abroad now: threatens the people, nor IhaveiWe; any xauso to. distrust the frienfily professions of other governments. But tor avoiding as well as for repelling dangers that may threaten us in: the future we liust be prepared to enforce any policy whiqh we may think wise to adopt. The report of the Postmaster General is a (gratifying exhibit; of the growth and effic4cy of the postal service. The receipts froiij postage and other sources during the' pastjfiscal year were t $38185,397 97. The expenditures for the fiscal ' year were $39, 251,136 46. The deficit,supplied out of the general treasury, was $2,481,129 85. . The attention of Congress is again , invited to the Jsubject of, establishing a system of savilg depositories. in .connection with the PosfJifice Department. ' " . - - Gleat reductions have recently been made in the expenses' oLthe Stat Route service. The investigations of, the Department of Justice in the c Postoffice Department have resulted in the presentation of indictments against persons formerly1 connected with that I service, , accusing ; them - of offenses agaiist the united States, n I have enjoined apoif the officials -who are charged With the onduct of the cases ' on the part of the Gov rnment, and upon the eminent counsel who before my- ascension to the Presiden cy, 1 rere called to their, assistance, the duty of persecuting with thejutmost vigor of the jaw 11 persons who may be found charga ble with fraud uponjtbe postal service,;! ; Tile acting Attorney .General calls atten tion o the necessity of modifying the pres-s ent system ! of the courts of the United States" A necessity due .to the large in crease of bu&iness, especially in the Su prenij? Court. In view of th fact that Confess has already given much conside ration to this subject I make no suggestions as to jlctaiV but express the hope that your deliberations may result in such legislation as vi givecarly relief to our overburden-1 ed courts. , i K. .'.':-;'!,." . j : Vt- '" , - c.': -Fo many years the Executive, in ' his annuil message to Congress; has urged the necessity of the strongest legislation for the supp&ssion of polygamy in the Territory of Utjph. .The existing statute for the puri ishmeiit of this odious crime, so revolting to thel moral and religious sensibilities of Chrisjendoin, has been persistently and con-: tefaipiuously violated ever since its enact ment! Indeed, .in ; spite of commendable effortl onjthe part of the authorities-who represent the United States in that Territory,, the hfw has in very rare instances been en forced, and for a cause, to which, reference will presently be made, is a dead letter. The fact that the adherents of the Mormon Churfch, which rests upon polygamy as its eornlr stone, have recently been peopling in lage number Idaho Arizona and other of out- Western Territories," is well calcu latedpto excite the liveliest interest and ap prehension. It imposes upon Congress and the Executive the duty of arraying against this barbarous system all the power whiclv unde the constitution and the law, they can wield for its destruction.! Reference has beenfalready made to ; the obstacles - which the Tj. S. officers have encountered in their efforts to punish.violators of the law. Pro minjnt among : these obstacles is the diffi cult! of procuring legal evidence sufficient to' warrant a conviction even in the cases of I the I most i notorious offenders, owipg to the fact that the secrecy attend ing the celebration' of marriages in that Terfitoryf makes the !pr6of of polygamy verj difficult, and the propriety is suggest ed f modifying the law of evidence which noi makes a wife) incompetent to testify agafnst her husband.: This suggestion is appjoved.; I recommend also the passage of n act providing that in the Territories of fie United States the fact that a woman hasfbeenj married to! a person charged with bigamy-shall not disqualify her as a witness upon his trial for that 'offense. I further recommend legislation by which anyper soq soleinnizinga marrige in any of the Ter ritlries shall be: required7 under 8tringehf pealties, for neglect or refusal to file a celtincate of such marriage inthe Supreme Coirt df the Territory. Doubtless Con gress njay desire other practical measures fol obviatinir the I difficulties which have hifiertoj attended the efforts to suppress thlb iniquity. I assure you of my deter mijied purpose to cooperate with you in any lawful and discreet measures which may be proposed to that end. ; Although our system of government does no contemplate that the nation should pro vide or jsupport a system for the education of lour people, J no 1 measures calculated to prlmote that" general intelligence and virtue uptpn which the perpetuity of our institu tions so1 greatly depends have ever been re gaded with indifference by "Congress or the E xfecutive. ; A j large portion of the public domain has lieen from time to time devoted to IheNpromotion of education." There . is now a special reason why, by setting apart th proceeds of its sale of public lands or by soie other course,! the government should aid thej work of education. Many who now exfrcise the right of suffrage are unable to read the ballot which they cast. Upon mlnv who had iust emerged from a condi- tioii of; slavery were suddenly devolved the J protection Would have been a bless reiwnsibilities of citizenship in that por- r tQ any country tried ; it for tioh of the country most impoverished by war. I have been pleased to learn from tha report of the Commissioners of Educa tion . that "v there has - lately .been , & commendable increase of interest and effort f o their instruction; but all that can Ibe dole by local ! legislation land, private .gen ''ercfcitV should be supplemented by such aid, as fcan be . constitutionally .afforded by the nftiotial a-overnment. I wbuld sucsest that if inyjfund be dedicated lthis. purpose,it. miy be wisely distributed -ui the different, Stites accordins to tlie raof illiteracy as. bvl this .means those localities ; which are mast in need of such assistance will reap its I advise appropriations f or such internal improvements as the wisdom ;of Congress miv deem to be ot rmblic importance. The neiessity of improving the navigation of tention to the subject. In my letter accepting the nomination for thlT yice Presidency I stated that in my juigment no man should be the incumbent oflan office the i duties of which he is for anv 2ause unfit to perform-1-who is lacking inlhe ability; fidelity or integrity which a j prBper administration oi sucn omce ae mlnds. This sentiment would doubtless mfet with general acquiescence, but opinion hafe been widely f divided upon the wisdom aiji practicability of the various reforma tory i schemes which i haye been sug gested and i of certam regulations - go verning appointments to . public office. Itlseems to me that the rules which .should bi applied to the management of the pub ly service may properly conform in the main to the conduct of successful private llisinesss. Original appointments should lo based upon ascertained fitness -the ten ire of office should be stable, and positions If responsibility should, so far as practica ble, be filled by the promotion of worthy and efficient officers. - : J -4- Mr. Edward Atkinson . believes hat there will be a railroad panic and a ommercial i crisis in the next seven years, but that there will be 117,000 miles of rail road in this country by 1890, and 209,000 jy the clcSe of ; the century. He expresses fche opinion that we shall then have rau iroads enough, assuming that Massachusetts ihas now reached that point, navmg one mile of road for 4.12 square miles of sur face, which is the largest in, the world.

Statesville Landmark. ., i TT A.nenUhh.Q discussion as to whether jtrfe tariff, or internal revenue taxes, or both, should be reduced, it is .worth while to remark that but fori the four years, just ended, of Demo; cratic supremacy in Congress, there would be no surplus revenue to fuss .about.,. -v : ' ' .1 ., ' . . w ; j Warsaw Brief Mention. j r-.But, if ihe JVews Observer . desires the tax on tobacco ' and liquor re moved, we wholly disagree with our able contemporary. Let the XL I S. tax remain j and let Congress make haste to admit duty free all articles of prime necessity and to recfuce the duties on all manufactured goods to the minimum point' to which the needs of revenue will permit if it takes the last cent off, . A protective tariff is - an iniquity.. , It robs one class to enrich f another.' 1 The class robbed is "composed of the many the-poor. A protective tariff creates a privileged class of a few nabobs, who roll in wealth by grinding the faces of the poor. Away r with . pro .tection ! To this end keep the tax on liquors -and tobacco. Let the State tax these articles, too: : '.v i - ' New Bernian. j . rf We would like to submit to our friends this proposition: Let the United States still keep up its inter nal and Jmport tax; W hen the debt as is now the fear shall be extin guished, then still let the money ac crue, but the Government to dis tribute the accrued- sums to the seve ral States in proportion to their pay ment into the Treasnry, and let the States, through properly constituted commissions, invest the sums in edu cation, in digging canals, in railroads, and in thousands of other things which would ; redound to! the credit and welfare of the State. , f Weldon News. 1 We see the subject of revenue dis cussed in our exchanges, most of them favoring the abolition of the whole system. A reduction in the tariff rates is also demanded by many. These two . ways of .raising revenue affect each other materially, we think. The country; requires money for all the machinery of the government and for the payment. of the national debt, principal and interest. The money must comet from . somewhere, and it j the - internal revenue system is abolished, undoubtedly the govern ment must derive its support from the tariff, unless direct taxation is re sorted tO. - . ! ;,;! ; " Lenoh" Topic. w The South ; was an ; agricultural community and free trade is bene ficial to such. The New Englanders, adopting a fallacy for a political truth, contended that their manufac tures should be protected in the 1 out st against foreign factories by levy-r ingjan import duty upon all or certain imported fabrics. Fact, experiment, history point to free trade as the only true "principle in; every - political economy. Any writer upon political economy who advocates ' protection or even a tariff : for revenue.: when any other source oi revenue is pos sible, is set down as a quack. It stifles commerce, it hinders communi cation with the rest of the world, . it is unprogressive. England, for whom centuries, and when, in 1846, she was forced to-ad opt'free trade as an experiment, - her commerce revived and she is . to-day a ; great manufac turing community, standing firmly by a policy which New' England r and the Republican ? party ' are fighting and have been always lighting, i COTTON. - -New York Financial Chronicle. New York. December. 2. The movement of the '-crop, as indicated by our telegrams from theSouth to- nignt, is given peiow.j j? or uie. ween ending this evening (December 2), the total receipts have reached 216, 170 bales, against 221,876; bales last week, 224,420 bales the previous week, and 224,685 bales three weeks since making the total receipts since the 1st of September, 1881 2269,683 bales, against 2,538,057 bales for the fame Teriod of 1880, showine a decrease since September 1, 1881, of 268,374 I bales. J The exports for . the week ending this evening : reach a total of 84,526 bales, of which 38,921 were to Great Britain, 13947 to France, and 31,658 to the rest of the Continent, while the stocks as made up this evening are now 966,598 bales. : Monday and Tuesday opened low er and closed dearer; Wednesday was firmer throughout, but did not sus tain the highest figures of the day. Thursday was" slightly lower through out. To-day the opening was aearer on favorable advices from Liverpool and Manchester, but the close was slightly lower. The operators :1 for the rise made the most of i the frost accounts published in bur last; but it has appeared from the reports of injury done that a good deal of cot ton is still in the ; field unpicked, and the return of pleasant, weather has had an influence, in conjunction with 'the free' movement - of. the crop," to check the upward course of values. It is evidenlt, ' however, that the crop has be.en marketed freely, the move ment being aided by the increased fa cilities which each succeeding:- vear r affords, an4 receiving an ; impulse at the moment from the scarcity and high rates of money. .
