I hey | icier that no section ol the coun 'ry should lie united in solid opposition lo any oilier section. Tim disposition to re I use a prompt HIM' hearty obedience to the equal rights amendments to the, c6ri , sill uiion is all I hat now stands in the way Jo completeobliteration ofseciioual lines in oui political contests. As long as eiih er ol these amendments i- 11 igraTnly vio lated or disregarded, it is sale lo assume that (lie people who place them in the c nislii uiion as embodying the legitimate results of the war for the Union, and who believe I hem lo be wise acd neces sary, will continue to act together, and to insist that they shall be obeyed. The, paramount question siill is as to tho en, jo> incut ol t tie rig hi by every American citizen who lias the requisite qn;ditica>> lions to Ireely cast his vole and to have it honestly counlet). With ihis question riglrly settled, the couinry will be re lie veil ol its contentions id ihe past, - and bygones will indeed be b>gone*, and litical and pariy issues wi'.h re'peel lo economy ami efficiency ol administra tion, iniernal iiu:>rovemciif, ihe turif], domestic taxaiion, education, (inane, and oilier important Milij 'e>s. will then receive iHeir lull attention; bin I resistance 10, and iiullifijulion 01, the results ol ihe war will unite together in resoluie pnrpoo for iheir support all who inainiain the authority ol liie gov erninenl and the perpetuity ol ihe Union and who adequately appreciate the value of (he victory achieved. T iis determina tion proceeds from no hostile sentiment or feeling any part ol the people oi our co'intry, or to any of their interests. The inviolability of the amendment rests upon the I'uiKlnmen'.al principles of our govern!incut. They are the solemn ex pression ol ihe will of the people ol ihe Uniitd Staled. The sentiment that the consli idional i ighla ol all our citizens must be main tained docs not grow weaker, it will continue to control the government ol the country.. Happily, the history of the hue election shows thai in many pans of llie emintry where opposition to the fit' tccntli amendment bus heretofore pre vailed, it is diminishing, and is likely lo reuse altogether, if firm and well-con siilercd ac'ion is taken by Congress. 1 n tisl the liousc o| fiepre6onlaives and Ihe Senate, which hayc tho right lo judge of the election, returns aud qualifications ol their own members, wi 1 see lo it that every case wf violation of the letter Or spirit ol the filteonth amendment is thoroughly investigated, and that no benefit from such violation shall accrua to any peison or party. It will be the duly ol the Executive, with sufficient ap propriations lor the pnrpo e, lo prosecute unsparingly all who have oeen engaged in depriving citizens ol tho lights guar anfecd to them by the coasliiutio i. * li is n?t, however, lo be forgotten (hat the best and surest guarantee of the pii« mary rigbls of citizenship is lo he found in that capacity lor sell protect iou which can belong only (o ji people whose right !o universal suflrage is' supported by universal education. The means at commoud of the local and St'ito authori ties are, in many cases, wholly inader quale to fuyiush frco instruction lo all who need it: This is ' especially true where, before emancipation, Iho educa tion ol tho people was neglected or pre vented in the interest of slavery. Finn ly convince* that (he suhjeql of popular educa'ion lha. earnest attention of Ihe people of the whole Genuity, with a view to wise and comprehensive aciidn by Ihe government ol ihe United Slates, X respectlully recommend that Cmgress by suitable legislation aud with proper safeguards, aiipnleincnt the local educa tional fuu s in the several Stales where the grave duties and responsibilities of oilizyiisiiip have been devolved on uned ucated people, by devoting to the pur- I poso grams ol Ihe public fUnds, ami, ll I neceessary, bv appropriations from the treasury of the United blabs. What ever government can tail IV do to pro mote tree popular education ought to be dine. Wherever general education is lon lid, peace, virtue and social order pre vail, and civil and religious liberty are secured. ; i . . in my former message I hare ;>sKeu | the intention ol Congress lo the urgent j necessity ot a reformation in tht tivn service s» stein ol the government.

B lieving that lo reform the system and methods oi the civil servico in our country is one of the and most imperative duties of statesmanship, ami that it can be pei uinnenlly done only by the co-operation of the legisiaiive and executive depart niciiil of tlio govnr.i* incut, I again con.iucnd the whole sub* ject lo your considerate attention. It is the recoguiz d duty and purpose of the people of the United-Sta es to sup press polvgainy where it now exists in our Territories, and to prevent its ex* tension, faithful and zealous efforts have been made by the United States milhosiiies in Utah lo enforce the laws against it. Experience has shown that the legislation upon this to be eflt'clive requires extensive '.nodifia'i>- lion and amendiusnt. The longer action ii delayed the more difficult it will be to accomplish what is dc* sired. J'r iinpt and decided measures are necessarv. Our relations willi all foreign countries have been those of undisturbed peace, and have presented no occcsion for concern as to their continued iiiaiulcii- ' ame. 1 sincerely hope that the basis may be found (or & 81 teedy adjustment oi the i yerj serious divergence of views in tho interpretation ol ilie, fishery clauses ol Ibe treaty ol Washington, which as the correspondence between ii»i> two govern* inents slood at Hie close of the late ncsaiou ol Congress, scetnud to be ir reconcilable. There is reason to belivo that the obstucljs which have so long pie otilod rapid ami convenient Comiruuicalton b lween tin United Stales and Mexico uv railway s. are ou the point of disap pearing, an I that seve ul important enterprises oi this charaotur will soon tio I set on iool which cannot fail to coulrib me laigeiy to the prosperity oi both coun tries. The t fl >rl3 oi the Department of Stile lo enlarge the trade and commerce ol the United Sato*, through tlie active ngeiicj ol consular officers and through Iliu dis semination of in format ion obtained from tlu'in, have been unrclaxed. I'he interest iii theso eflorts, as developed in our qominercial omuljiiilies, and tho value of ii.formation secured by this means lo the trade and manufactures of the coun '"y, were recognized by Congress at its lust session and provision .was male for ilie more frequent publication oi consu lar and other reports by the of Department ol State. The first issue this publication has now been prepared, and subsequent issues may icgularly be expected. The importance and interest itiachcd 4 10 reports ol consular oflkcriare witnessed by tho general demand for I llicm by all olasses of merchants and and 8 manufacturers engaged in our foreign trade It is believed tliat the system of such publication is deserving the approval of' Congress, and that the necessary appropriations for its continu ance and enlargement will commend I itself lo )our consideration. I he prosperous energies ol our domes tic industries and their ituinenfe produc lion of the subjects ol a foreign commerce invite, and even require, an active de velopment of the wishes and interests of our people in that direction. Especial ly important is it that our commercial rc» falions wiili the At'untic ai.d Pacific coasts of South America, with the West In lies and (he oulf of Mexico, should be direct, and not through I lie circuit ol j European systems, and should be carried on IJI our own boltonis Whatever ! mo'Jifi :ations ol our regulations ol trade ! and navigation may be necessary or ' useful lo meet and direct tiiese impulse* to the enlt>g mcut of our exchanges and our carrying trade, i am sure the wisdom of Congress will bo ready to supply. One 'niiial measure however it seems to me «o clearly useful aud efficient that J venture to press it upon your earner attention. litems to be very evjdw>l that Hie provision ol regular ■iftpiUt postal communication, by aid from g»JJ» ;em nen , has b»en ib; fureruutier; of the j commercial predominancd of Great j Brits-iu Oil all these coast, and teas, a | greater share in whose trade is now tl)4 ; desire and the intent oi our peop'e. Tno condition ol U'C finaucia: affairs ol I the government as shown by the report ol the secre.ary of flie Treasury, is very ' satisfactory. It is belieied that tho pres j cut financial situation ol the United j States, whether considered with Te*j>ect |to trade, currency, credit, growing wealth, or the extent and variety of our | resources, is more favorable thau that of | any oloer country ol'our time, rfnd i has | never been surpassed b/-that 'of any country at any period ofits iiiaiciy. All our industries are thriving/ tlip rale ol interest is railroad* are being constructed; a vast is in creasing our population, capital and la bor; new enterprise* in great! number are in progreas, and our commercial re» iaiious are improving.

No I public duty his been more constantly j cheiished in the United Suites than die | policy ol paying the nation's debt as ' j rapidly as possible.

Tho bur* den ol interest has also been diminished 1 by tlie sale of bonds bearing a low rate of interest, and the application of the proceeds to the redemption of bonds 1 bearing a higher rate. The annual sav ing thus secured since March 1, 1877. is ' '$ 14 290,453 50. The continuance of specie payment ' has not been interrupted or endangered 1 since the data of resumption. It has con* tiibttled greatly to the revival of busi* ness and to our remarkable prosperity. The tears that proceeded and accompan ied resumption have proved groundless. No considerable amount ol Uujted State* nctes have beeu presented lor redemp tion, while very large sums of gold bul lion both domestic and imported, are ta ken to tho mints and exchanged lor coin or n >tcs. The iuc»*ea 00l coin and buU lion in the United Slates since January I 1, 1879, ni egtfiliated at $227,399,428. i There is'still in cxisteiico, uncanceled $316,681,016 6t Uritl«M States legal fen* der notos/-' Thetfenote* were authorized us a war measure, made necessary by the exigencies ol the conflict in which the liniied Slates w\s theu engaged.

The two great rivers of tho North > American continent, the Mississippi and | the (JolMinbia, have their navigable wa ters wholly within (ho limits of tho Uni | ted States, and are ,of vast impor tance to our internal and foreign com j inerce. 1 The permanency ol Ihe impor ! taut tvofrk on the South Pus* of tho I Mississippi river seem* now to be a6sur cJ.

A comprehensive improvement of the Mi«*issippi and it* irilimariea is a matter of iiuuscendant iin|H»riauoo.

Tl»e dockets cl tho pretne Court, and ol the circuit courts, in the greater number of the circuits, are encumbered with accession of casess. in ihe former court, anil in many iustauoes in the circuit courts, years intervene be* lore it is praciicnb 0 (o bring esses to Inuring. 1 ho Attorney general recommends (lie estiiblishineul ol uti iiitcriuedialu court of errors and appeals. It is recomniciidod: tliat the number of judges in the circuit conrt in each circnlt, with the exception ol lite second circuit, should bo increased by the addition of another judge, ill > the second circuit that two should be added, and (hat tin intermediate appcllutc court should be formed in each circuit, to odn* sisl of the circuit judges ami Ihe circuit justice, and that in tho cvcul of Ihe ab* sence of cither of these j tdges the place of the absent judge should be supplied by the judge ol 0110 ol lae district coiffv*, .in the circuit. Such an appellato court could be salely ihves'ed with large juris diction, and its decisions would satisfy suitors in many cases where appeals would still he allowed to the supreme court. 1 lie expeusi iiicnirwl f» r lids Ins lermediuto court will icquire a very moderate inciease ol tho appropriii(ioiiß lor the expenses o* the department ol justice. This recommendation h com ineiuled to the careful consideration oi Congress. itiseyiienl that (he del iv of justice, in many instances oppressive and disas trous to suitors, now necessarily occurs in tho federal courts, which will iu this way be remedied.

The successful cultivation own lea and the manufacture of our own suj-ar would make a diflercnco of many tviiltons ot dollars annually in tho wealth of tho nation. The commissioner of cdncation reports a continued increase of public interest In educational aflairs, and that Ihe public schools generally throughout the country are well sustained. Industrial training is attracting deserved afteirtion, and col* leges loi ins!ruction, theoretical andprac tical, in agriculture and the mechanic arts, including tho government school* recently established lor ihe lust met ioh ol (lie Indian yonth, are gaining steadily in public estimation. That the love of the beautiful ia iu. herent to savages is proved by their de« light in pretty things. The more a roan *tndies savage art, the more ia be struck by the almost universal good tasu* which it displays. Every chair, stool or bench is p. ettily shaped iind neatly carv -d. Every club, padile or stuff is covered with intricate tracery which put* •o shame our handicraft. E»ery cala btsli or gourd is richly wrought with geomoti C4l patterns or conventionalized fl raiftnd aniual des'gns. The most primitive pottery is graceful in form and irreproachable in its simple ornament of string. courses or bead work. Cential African bowls and drinking cups almost ritul Etruscan or Htllenie ahspe*. Pre* histoiis vase* from the barrows or lake dwellings are not lea* lovely than the I'iojau or Mjeenaean models which are now teaching our modern potters a loug forgotten secret, of toato.

And When Wte* n member that.these exquisite carvings and these polished jade implejiinti art protiused with miserably inefficient tools and appliaucea—when wo recollect the inatanees quoted by Sir Jeha Lubbock, where whole yCars are spent in .the per* feeling of a jingle art product, in grind ing smooth k jsipef hatchet or 'poliahfog a crystal eardrop—we cannot (ail woudei at (be aesthetic fervor of these unsophihticatcd artist*.
