President's message' To the Ben
ate and House of Representatives
B) the aot of Congress, approved
January 11, 1875, to provide for the
resumption of specie payments the
first of January, 1879is flted as the
date when suoh resumption is to
begin, it may not be detirabie to fix
an earlier date when it shall actually
become obligatory up-,n the govern
ment to redeem its outstanding legal
tender notes in ooin ou prtseutation,
but it is certainly most desirable, and
most beneficial to' every pecuniary
interest of the oountry to hasteu the
day when the paper circulation of
the country and the gold oo a shall
have equal value. At a later day if
onrreucy and ooin should retain
equal value, it might become ad
visable to authorize or direot resump
tion.' " : "' yu-,!. ; ,;'
I believe that the , time has come
when by a simple act of the Legisla
tive branoh of the government, this
most desirable result can be attained
I am strengthend iu this view by the
Course trade has taken iu the last two
yean, and by the strength of the
oredit of the United States at home
and abroad for the flao.d year, end
iug June 30, 1876. The exports of
the United States exceeded the im
ports by $120,213,102, but our ex
ports include $40,669,621 of specie,
and bullion in - excess of impor ts of
the sumeoommodity, Eor the s'X
months of the present fisioaUyear,
from July 1, 1876, to January 1,
1877, the excess of exports over im
ports amounts to $107,541,869, o d
the imports, of specie and bullion
exceeded the exports of the ptcoions
metals by $6,192,117 in the same
time. The aotual excess of exports
over imports for the x months, ex
oluaive of specie and bullion,
amounted to $113,737,040, showing
for the sams time beiug, the socum
ulation of specie and bullion iu the
country amounting to more than six
millions of dollars. In addition to
the national . produoU of these
metals, for the tame period, a total
increase of gold and silver
for the six 'months was not f
short of sixty millions oi dollars. It
is very evident that nnless thereat
increase of the precious metals am bo
utilized at home . in such a wvy as to
make it in some manner remunerative
to the holders, it must seek a foreign
market, as surely as any other product
of the soil or the manufactory. Any
legislation which will keep coin and
bullion at home, will, in my judgment,
soon bring about practical resumption
and will add the coin of the country to
the circulating medium, thus securing
a healthy iufla'.ion of a Sound currency
to the great advantage of every legiti
mate business, interest , The act to
provide for the resumption' of specie
payments, aathorixed the Secretary at
the Treasury to ksue bends of ', either
of the descriptions named in the act of
Congress, approved July 4, 1870, en
titled an act to authorize the refund
ing of the national debtM for not less
than par in gold, with, the present value
of the four aad a half per cent, bonvls
in the markets of the -, world, and they
could be exchanged at par for gold,'
thus strengthening tne trewury'i to
meet final resumption, and to keep the
excess of coin over the demand. Find
ing its permanent se as a circulating
medium at home, all that would further
be required, would be to reduce the
volume of legal tender notes in circu
lation. To accomplish this, I would
suggest, si jut,; authorijmg.thi Sece?
tary of the Treasury to issue fur per
c'nt. bonds with fortv years to ,run be-
tore, maturity, to be exchanged for
legal tendsr notes, wbcneyjf presentea
in stims of fifty dollars 6 any multiploi
thereof, the whole amount . of such.
bonds, however, not to exceed $150,i
000,000. To increase Ibe home de
mand for such bonds, I would reconi-
meud that they be available for deposit
in the United States Treasury" for
banking purposes, under -the 'various
provisions of law, relating to national
banks. I would suggest further, that
national banks be required to retain &
certain per cent, of the coin interest re
ceived by them from the bnds jdepos-
itcd with the-treftsury. To sesurk their
circulation, I would farther recommend
a repeal of the 3d section of the
joint resolution for the issue of silver.
coin, approved July 22, 1876, liniitiug
the subsidy coin and fractional cur
rency to $50,000,000. I am satisfied
that if Congress will exact some such
law as will accomplish the end sug
gested, they will give relief to the
country, instant in its effects, and for
which they will receive the gratitude
of the whole people. . .

I see by the Review of this p. m.,

will be a strange piece: oj news to
those who took parKn the Ward meet
iog which appointed tbe ten members
to confer with ten from the Central

i The resolution imdpR which bey
were appointed, was to oo operate
with tbe same number from the Cen
tral Club in preparing the different
bills called for by tbe resolutions
and taking all noeary steps to get
them through tbe Legislature before
its adjorrnment. They were not
given ajy legislative power them
selves, but simply to perform a pre
sorihed duty, and if (hey have (rote
beyond this, they have assumed 10
themselves a power which was not
theirs, and which will probably be
repudiated by their Wards, and will
Cause the defeat Of the party in the
eleotion for Aldermen,
j Four Wards out of five voted to

,:fri our remarks, on yesterday - upon
the proposed Inland Canal," we Won -tiouedW
Wilmington as becoming- the
seaport of Newbern. In explanation
we would state, that it is ninty-six
miles from New -rn to Hattcras inlet
with only eight feet, water on the bar,
by ttiuj inland route it wonldonly be
eight mile further from" Newbern to
Wilmintrton with thirteen to fourteen
feet of 'water This would secure W
Newbern commercial advantages that
she does'not now have, and would re
sult in enabling ber to increase her lo
cal trade.
