(JSP All are invited to call and examine my Stock. Kb treaty Washington, D. C, Dec. 5. The President commenced with re capituation of events and his official acts of the past 8 years. He says mis takes have been made as all can see, and I admit, but it seems to me often er in selections made of assistants ap pointed to aid in carrying out the various duties of administering the government in nearly every case select ed without a personal acquaintance with the appointees, bnt upoa recom mendations of representatives chosen directly by the people. It is impossible when so many trusts are to be alloted that right parties should be chosen in exery . instance. History shows that no administration from the time of Washington to the present has been free from these, mistakes, but I leave comparisons to history, claiming only that I have acted in every instance from a conscientious desire to do what is right and constitutional, within the law, for the very best interest of the whole people, failures have been er rors of judgement, not of intent. The message says taxes have been reduced within the last seven years nearly $300,000,000, and the national debt has been reduced in the same time over $435,000,000 by substituting bonds. The annual interests on the debt has been reduced $30,000,000 per annum. The balance of trade has been changed from a hundred and thirty millions against us to $20,000,090 in our favor. He believes the balance of trade will continue in out favor, and pledges Congress to resume specie payments. The policy adopted towards the In dians has been human and has sub stantially ended hostilities in the whole land except in the Black Hills and ap proaches thereto. The relations with foreign nations continues friendly. The centennial exhibition just ended is alluded to as promoter of good feeling and better acquaintance with foreign nations. Alluding to the reduction in the allow ances for diplomatic service. The President says he cannot escape the conclusion that in some instances the withholding of appropriations will prove an expensive economy, and that the small retreuchraent secured by a change of grade in certain diplomatic posts is not an adequate consideration for the loss of influence and impor tance, which will attend our foreign representations under this reduction. He reserves for another communica tion the statement of questions with Great Britain regarding the extradition civil rights would not be disputed, and where their labor would be so much sought after that the poorest among them could have found the means to go. Thus in cases of great oppression and cruelty, such as has been practiced upon them in many places within the last 11 years;; whole communities would have seught rtfiige ' in Santo Domingo. I do not suppose the whole race would have gone, nor is it desire able that they should go. Their labor is desireable indispensable almost where they are now, but the possession of this territory would have left the negro master of the . situation, by en abling him to demand his rights at home on pain of finding, them else where. I do not present views now as a recommendation for a renewal of the subject of annexation; but I do refer to it to vindicate "my previous action in regard to it with the. present Con gress. My official life terminates, and it is not probable "that public affairs will ever again receive attention from me, further than as a .citizen of the Republic, and taking a deep interest in the honor, integrity and prosperity of the whole land."

The President asks legislation, which may provide for the payment of the awards of the Mexican claims commission. He recommends legislation to prevent fraudulent naturalization, and on the subject of expatriation and election of nationality in the interest ef emi- errants. He suggests a new tribunal for the settlement of the claims of aliens against the United States. Other eovernments are in advance of u in this respect. The President states the nrovisions of act of Congress for ad mittine Colorado into the Union. He issued a nroclamation to that effect. Aeditional appropriations for the army are asked. He says the improve ment of the South pass of the Missis sippi River under James B Eads and his associates isprogressing favorably. The navy is in a condition as effective an nnssiblft within the means and authority eriven the department. A few postmasters in the Southern States have expressed great apprehen sion of their personal safety on account of their connection with postal service, and have specially requested that their reports of apprehended danger snoum not be made public, lest it should re- nlt. in the loss of their lives, but no nnnitivR testimony of interference has hPfin submitted, except in the case of a mail messenger at Spartanburg m South Carolina, who reported that he had Wn violently driven away, while in charee of the mai's, on account of hi nnlit.ioal affiliations. An assistant superintendent of the railway mail ser- vice, inveoiigi.cu. uo vo -thai the messeneer has disappeared from his post, leaving his work to be performed by a substitute.

The Oilj Tongusd Chamberlain At tempts toJastify his Reyolutionary Measures Why Lamar Would not Visit Hay Tie Tribune on South Carolina Congressional Proceed ings. Washikgtok, Dec 5 Chamberlain publishes another dispatch in the New York Tribune. He says the United States troops at Columbia have assum ed no duties unless properly called up on to do so. He called upon Col Black for sufficient force on the 27th to pro tect the State House. He did this, he says upon evidence of a matured plan to take possession ef the halls of the Legislature and carry out the shot gun policy in the organization of the two houses. Col Black as he was bound to do, Chamberlain continues, ordered a company of soldiers to guard the State House. He, Cham berlain detailed on the 27th a State of ficer to take charge of the admissions. This officer's orders were enforced by military officers on duty. Cham berlaiu proceeds at great length in justification of his own action which he claims, the military properly sup ported. Murat HaUted telegraphs to the Herald in which among others, he gives the following as a reason which Col Lamar presented in refusing to call upon Gov Hayes. Col Lamar said : Neither he nor Hayes ceuld have any thing bearing directly upon tie. bublic business to say to each other, and while a talk would be agreeable, there could not be any importance in it equal to the notoriety it would pro bably have. The Tribune special says, alluding to the rule which is asked frem the Couit directing Mackey to deliver to Wallace the returns received by Mackey as Speaker. It is conceded however, that the Court will not recognize Mackey's right to the returns, and will order him to give them up to Mr Wallace. Should he refuse the Democratic rifle clubs here will furnish a posse suffic ient to put him in arrest. Senate In the Senate Mr Edmunds moved to take up the resolution sub mitted by him yesterday, ordering an inquiry into the late election ofvari o usSouthern States, which the mo tion led to a very lengthy debate after which the motion to take the resolu tion was agreed to.

Plaisted of Maine, claiming he had voted against a suipension'of the rules for the appointment of the Commit tees to go South. Banks claims the records should be corrected and the correction defeats the resolution or dering the Committees. An early so lution not expected. The Southern Committees are arranged to provide for five sub-Committees in Louisiana, three in South Carolina and two in Florida, with two Democrats and one Republican on each. Thompson of Massachusetts is Chairman of the Florida Committee. All the Commit tees leave to-night. LOUISIANA. SOUTH CAROLINA.

The State Constables replaced troops at the State House. A large number of special sergeants at arms were placed at the door of the Senate and House. The troops are still retained in the State House for the purpose of protecting the Governor. A sentinel faces from Chamberlain's door. The Senate and House in joint session canvassed the vote. Edgefield and Laurens thrown out. The Democratic Senators retired. Chamberlain was declared elected by three thousand fort four votes-adjourned. It is expected Chamberlain will be inaug urated to morrow. The Hampton House is in session today, action unimportant except that they gained two more members from the Mackey House, making their membership 62 holding certificates of the board of State canvassers, 70 including the Edgefield and Laurens delegation, who hold certificates of the Supreme Court. Hampton spoke this evening declaring that he intended to be Gov ernor. In the Supreme Court argu ment was heard in application for mandamus compelling the.Secretary of State to deliver the returns to speaker Wallace and the papers were taken under advisement. The argu ment on the quo warranto proceed ings requiring the Hayes electors to show by what authority they exer cise the functus offici will be heard in the morning. The electors meet to morrow.
