THE Irish political prisoners from four counties, including the men charged with change which has taken place with regard to the reservation system. He says that'although at first aooepting, as he found it, the reservation policy which had so long been followed by the Indian Office, more extensive observation and study of the matter gradually convinced him that this was a mistaken policy; that it would be better for the Indians, and more in accordance with justice as well as wise expediency, to respect their home attachments; to leave them upon the lands they occupied, pro* vided such lands were t capable of yielding them sustenance by agriculture or pastoral pursuits, and to begin and follow u p the practice of introducing amotig them the habits and occupations of civilized life on ground they inhabited. In view of the fact, also, that the maintenance ®f the system of large reservations against, the pressure of white immigration and settlement would, in course of time, become impracticable, a different policy has been followed, having for its object the settlement of tho Indians upon lands in sev­ eralty, and the disposal for their benefit of their lands not required f/>r this purpose, and gradually to prepare the way for their final incorporation into a body politic as indepen­ dent and self-relying mer, invested with all the rights which the other inhabitants of the country possess. The results already accom­ plished m pursuance of this policy and the promising outlook in the same direction are do- from justice.

Th(^Secr«tary continues: "I desire also to call attention once more to the bill repeatedly introduced iu Congress extending over the Iir dian reservations the jurisdiction of the courts of the States or Territories in which such res­ ervations are located, giving the Indians a standing 111 such courts, aud securing to them tlie full benefit of tho laws. I venture to ex­ press the hope that Congress may not adjourn again without having taken action upon these important measures so essential to the pro.^- | ress and security of our Indian wards." The number of Indian youth learning trades in workshops at tho agencies has increaso i from 185 last autunrn to 353 this year. Tne policy of employing Indians au workmen, and eveu'as foremen and machinists, at tho agen­ cies has been continued and extended uith great success. Brickniakir.g has teen begun. Uousos for tho Iudii.ns are now almost ex­ clusively built by the Indians themselves. The aptitude shown by the luuiaus for me­ chanic. 1 work has, iu mmy cases, been surprising, and is considered deserving of every pussill i encour; g uneut. Expressions of anxious desire on lue p;iit of Indians belonging to tho so-call- >d wild tribes to have their children instructed iu the ways of civil­ ized life have, it is stated, grown so numerous and urgent that the inadequacy of the means placed at the disposal of the department for this purpose has become particularly painful. The desire and purpose of the department is to largely increase tiie present small number of industrial boarding-schools for Indian youth, as the day-schools at the agencies do not with­ draw the pupils fiom the influences of home surroundings sufficiently to facilitate a change in their habits of daily life. The report next mentions as another import­ ant civilizing agency, largely introduced under the present administration, the organization of a police force consisting of Indian*, which has boen put in operation at forty agencies. The force now consists of 162 officers aud 653 pri­ vates. Its benefits, both as a means of main­ taining good order and as a moral influence upon the Indian tribes among whom it has been established, are set forth as worthy of special notice. Look­ ing at the present condition of things, it may bo said without exaggeration that, on the wliolo, the Indian bituation is now more hopeful than ever before. The desire of the Indians to maintain friendly relations with then- white neighbors, to go to work for their own support, to cultivate the soil, to acquire permanent homes, to have their children edu­ cated, and to assimilate themselves to the civ­ ilization of the country, is growing stronger and more general every day. Secretary Schiusz remarks that experience has strengthened his conviction (which, as ' this is his last report, he now feeis at greater liberty to express> that the mwingemeut of Indian af­ fairs sho'ild continue to be intrusted to the civil and not to the military branch of the public service. His argument on this topic has been fully foreshadowed in former annual reports. The report enters into many interesting de­ tails concerning the present condition of in­ dividual tribes. The case of tlie I'oncas re­ ceives minute attention. The injustice done them by their original removal from their Da­ kota lands is fully described, but it is also clear to the Secretary that it would be contrary alike to then- own interests aud to those of the coun­ try at large to remove them from their present homes. •* Attempts by evil-disposed persons to in­ vade the Indian Territory and to take posses­ sion of certain unoccupied lands there have so far been successfully frustrated by the prompt action of the Government, but they have been as persistently repeated. It is reported that another attempt is in preparation now. The mil­ itary forces of the United States in tlie Terri­ tory are instructed to arrest intrud­ ers, and to take proper measures to bring them to justice, as tliey have done heretofore. But it is evident that the penalty imjiosed npon repeated intrusion into the In lian Territory, which penalty cou- sists in a mere fine, and is difficult of enforce­ ment, is not sufficient to deter lawless charac­ ters from such undertakings. I concur with tho Commissioner in recommending that a law be passed adding a penalty of imprisonment to ! that of fine. If this is done invaders will know that such attempts are not without seri­ ous risks to them." Referring to the measures instituted by the department to put a stop to depredations on piibbc timber hinds,»the Secretary reports they ; have been highly successful. During the past j three years upward of $240,000 have been turned into the treasury as the lesult of keep­ ing tiie department's special agents in the field to'defeud nnd prosecute wholesale timlier tres­ passers. and the illicit cutting and exportation of timber from the public lands along our coasts, which had grown to an euormous yearly aggregate, has been almost entirely arrested. The Secretary again urges upon the attention of Congress the great Jesirat ilitv of enacting laws to provide for the proper preservation of qur forests by preventing the reckless waste which now attends the cutting of timber in many parts of tho country without restraint^ The report alSo contains, among ofner mat­ ters not above indicated, a series of synopses of reports, extension of the geological survey all over the United States, and the adoption by legislative enactment of Commissioner Bentley's plan for taking evidence hi pension cases by oral examinations through­ out the country; concurs with (Vmiuiis- sioner Marble in asking an increased force of clerks and examiners for the Pxtcut Office; recommends e»rly action upon the Pub­ lic Laud Commission's bill; indorses Gen.

The amoitnt due the sinking fund for this year was ©37,931,643.55. There was applied thereto, from the redemption of bonds and fractional currency, the sum of $73,904,617.41, an excess of 835,972,073.86 over the amount actually required for the year. The expenditures show an increase over the previous year of $25,190,360.48. For the present fiscal year the revenue,actual and estimated, is as follows: Total reeeipts, actual and estimated, $350,000,000; total expenditures, actual and estimated, $260,000,- 000; estimated amount due the sinking fund, $39,801,884.48; leaving a balance oi' $50s198,115.52. Tne revenues of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, estimated upon the basis of existing laws, will be $350,000,000 ; the estimates of ex­ penditures for the same period, received from the several Executive Departments, are, including sinking fund, $301,554,- 722.68; or an estimated surplus of $18,445,277.72. Excluding the sinkiug fund, the estimated expenditures will be $259,914,- 882.08, showing a surplus of $90,085,117.92. The surplus revenue, actual and estimated, for the fiscal years 1880, 1881 and 1882, after providing for tho sinking fund for each year, is as follows : For the y»ar ended June 30, 1880, $27,952,009.05 ; for the year ending June 80, 1881. ®;,0,198,115.52 ; for the year ending June 30, 1882, $48,445,277.72. The requirements of the Sinking Fund law have been substantially observed, and the principal of the public debt, less cash in the treasury and exclusive of accruing interest, has been reduced from $2,750,431,571.43, its highest i point, which it readied 011 Aug. 81, 1865, to ' $1,890,025,740.89, on Nov. 1, 1880--a reduction of $866,405,830.54. Compared with the previous fiscal year, the receipts for 1880 have increased $62,629,438.23. Upon the subject of the operation of the Re­ sumption laws the Secretary says : Nothing has occnrred since my last aunual re­ port to disturb or embarrass the easy mainte­ nance of speeie payments. United States notes are readily taken at par with coin in all parts of this country and in the chief commercial marts of the world. The balance of com in the treasury available for their redemption on the 1st day of November laBt was $141,597,018.61, and the average during the year has not materi­ ally varied from that sum. The only noticeable change in the reserve is the gradual increase of silver coin caused by tho coinage of the silver dollar and the redemption of fractional silver coin, more fully stated hereinafter. All the requirements of the Resumption act have thus far been executed, and its wisdom has been fully demonstrated. It only remains to inquire whether any further measures are necessary or expedient to secure the mainte­ nance of resumption. The Secretary expresses the utmost confidence that without new legis­ lation the entire amount of United States notes now authorized and outstanding can be easily maintained at par in com even if the present favorable financial condition should change; but, Lu order to accomplisL this, the coin re­ serve must be kept uninipai-ed except by such payments as may be made from it in redemp­ tion of notes. Notes redeemed should be temporarily held in place of the coin paid out, especially if it appears that the call for coin is greater in amount tb an the coin coming in due course into the treasury or the mints. Ordinarily the^ superior convenience of notes will, as at present, make a greater demand f«r them than for coin ; but, 111 case of an adverse balance of trade or a sudden panic, or. other unforeseen circum­ stances, the ample reserve»of com on hand be­ comes tho sure safeguard of resumption, dis­ pelling nit only imaginary fears, but meeting any demand for coin that is likely to arise. In a> supreme emergency, the power granted to sell bonds will suppiv tiny possiblo deficiency. It is suggested that Congress might define and set apart tho coin reserve as a special fund for resumption purposes. Tho general avail­ able balance is now treated as such a fund, but, as this balance may, at the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, be unduly drawn upon for the purchase or payment of bonds, i* would appear advisable that Congress prescribe the maximum and minimum of the fund. United States notes are now, in form, secur­ ity, and convenience, tho best circulating me­ dium known: The Secretary devotes a lengthy chapter to the standard silver dollar. Ho says : Unlike gold coin or United States notes, it {the silver dollar] does not, to the same extent, orm a part ot the permanent circulation, everywhere accepts 1 le. and, when flowing into tho treasury, easily paid out with little or no cost of "transportation. The reasons for this popular discrimination against tho silver dollar are : « • 1. It is too bulky for largo transactions, and its use is confined mainly to payments for manual* labor and for market purposes or for change. Tiie amount needed for these pur­ poses is already iu excess of tho probable de­ mand. 2. It is knosvn to contain a quantity of silver of less market value than tho gold in gold coin. This fact would not impair the circulation of huc'i limited amount, as experience shows to be conveuio' t tor use, but it does prevent its being held or hoarded as reserves, or exported, and pushes it into active circulation, until it return* to the treasury, as tho least valuable and de­ sirable money in uso. For these reasons the Secretary respectfully but earnestly" recommends that the further compulsory coinage of the silver dollar bo sus­ pended, or, as an alternative, that tt.e number of grains of silver in the dollar be increased so as to make it equal m market value to the gold dollar, and that its coin'i^e be left as other coinage to the Secretary of the Treasury or the Director of the Mint, to de{>eud upon the de­ mand for it by the public lor convenient ciicu- Ktion. Secretary Thompson's Report. The report of the Secretary of the Navy, says a Washington telegram, "deals with meas­ ures of tho highest importance to tho couutry. His recommendations for rebuilding the navy, apart from a purely military view of the sub­ ject, are of vital conccrn to our commercial interests.

Of port of the Director of the Mint relates to the coin in circulation. The estimates, starting with $135,000,000 in gold and $5,OUO.M>-0 silver coin in 1873, have been continued to Nov. 1. 18M0, by adding yearly coinage, less rt*coinage, and coin imports, less exports, *how an increM» in coin circulation for the whole -period ot $240,323,881 in gold aud $147,277,544 in silver coin. The gain in coin in the country and of bui-» lion in the mints since Jan. 1, 1879, the date fixed for resumption, amounts to .*227,399,428, of which $175,701,901 is iu gold and ?51,697,-- 524 silver. On June 30, 1880, the amount of gold coin in the country was $35'-!,958,091 and of silver coiii $142,597,691. The.ie amounto were further increased by Nov. 1, 1880, by net coinage and ini|x>rt of $16,365,190 in gold ana $9,680,254 in silver, making the total amount of United States coin at the latter date $527,6)1,425. of which $375,323,881 was gold and $152,277,544 silver. The mints and assay offices held iii ad­ dition bullion, which is being coined as rapidly as the facilities will admit, to the amount of $18,558,811 gold and S6,043.367 silver, making a grand total of coin in circulation and bullion available for coinage 011 the 1st of November of $612,203.603. $453,882,692 of which is gold and $158,329,911 silver. Of the amount of United States gold ooin in the country Nov. 1, $62,167,141 was in the treasury, $112,777,602 held by the banks and $200,379,138 in private hands. Of the silver coin, $47,084,- 45!) standard dollars, and $24,629,489 in fme- tio'ial silver were held by the treasury. The national banks report $5,330,357 as the amount of silver held by them, leaving $75,283,239 in other banks and in general circulation. Bv a comparison of those i gures with the state­ ment made by the Director of tbe Mint the lat of November, 1879, it will Vie seen that the treasury gold reserve has diminished to the amount of $57,753,529 hi coin, but holds over $78,000,000 in bullion. The silver coin in tbe tr. anury has increased to the amount of $21,324,348.

From the Secretary's report we learn that the United States navy in commissiou consists of but 29 steamers, 4 sailing ships. 8 monitors, nnd 2 torpedo boats, and for lAirpovs of actual n.k* val warfare, as now conducted, It is doubtful whether, of the 43 vessels, auy except the moni­ tors con he reckoned available. Forty-lour ves- tcls, among which are 7 additional monitors, are reported "in ordinary." Hecif'tary Thompson will recommend the psnMigo of a la* authorizing the establishment at the Naval Academy of a grade of Cadet Con­ structors. At present there is no law nuthoriz- ing the instruction of constructors, and al­ though the construction of a ship lies at tho very fouJid.tlon of the nnvy the Government is educating 110 cadets for this branch of the service. Mr. Thompson wonld put Cadet Constructors upon the ifune footing with Ci.dt't Engineers and Oadct Hilshipmen, as he thinks it is qiute as important to the Governnu nt that it should have m its service men competent to build ships as to have those the villain of tho play. . INTERNAL REVENUE. Synepsit of Com i>ii*t*ioner Haunt** He port. The annual report of Gen. Green B. Ranm, Commissioner of Internal Bevenue, for the fiscal year, is a lengthy document. After call­ ing attention to the vast improvement in the condition of the service the report shows that tho receipts of internal Revenue for the fiscal year of 1879 were $113,449,621, an increase of $2,795,458 upon the previous vear. The re­ ceipts for the fiscal year 1RS0, in the face of & reducf ion of the tax oil tobacco, were $123,981,916,. au increase of $10,532,294. The receipts for the first tour months of the present fiscal year amount to $43,789,318, showing an increase over the corresponding period of last year of $3,658,213. In fhis connection the Commis­ sioner says: "I know of no reason why this increase should not be maintained during the fiscal year, so that the total collections for the year from internal-revenue taxes at the present ratio would be $125,000,COO." Continuing, he says: '•This large increase of revenue is unques­ tionably due to prosperous times, and there would seem to be no reasonable probability of a material diminution thereof for several years to come; bnt, on the contrary, a probability of a gradual increase, certainly upon a ratio equal to the increase of population. While the re­ ceipts from taxes are thus increasing in amount, the demands upon the treusurv are being lessened by a reduction ot the public debt and the annual interest charged. It is probable, therefore, that Congress will be disposed to relieve the people from some of the internal-revenue taxes; and, if such re Suction is to be made, I respectfully suggest the following listot taxescolleced dur­ ing the fiscal year 1880 for consideration of the law-making power : Bank-checks, $2,270.421; friction matches, $3,561,800; patent medicines or preparations of perfumery, cosmetics, etc., $1,856,673 : bank deposit--. *$2,847,568; sav­ ings-bank deposits, $103,207: bank capital. $811,436; total, $10,990,606. In the event that it is deemed advisable to take the tax off matches, patent medicines, etc., due consideration should lie had to the fact that large stocks of these articles, tax-paid, are now in the hands of the trade, and tnat a very serious reduction in their value, especially of matches. i\ould re­ sult if the tax were taken off suddenly, and the articles manufactured free of tax were brought into competition with those upon which the existing taxes had been paid. Iu my opinion, an act abolishing the*e taxes should not go into effect earlier than, say, three months from its passage. The same may be said in regard to check stamps. Considerable stocks of stamped checks are now in the hands of individuals, banks and bankers upon which the stamps have been imprinted. I think it wonld be wise that the operation of the repeal should be delayed at least three months, so as to give time for using these stamps. When­ ever the interests of the Govornmeut will allow it, I think it will be wise to confine interiial- reveaue taxation to spirits, unit liquors, to­ bacco, Bnuff, cigars, and special taxes upon manufacturers and dealers in the»e articles. I am of opinion that reliance. can be placed upon receiving the sum of $120,000,000 annually from these sources, which sum would gradually increase with the increase of population, but woidd probably be subjected to diminution npon a recurrence of hard times. In considering the question of relieving patent medicines from internal-reve­ nue taxes, it shoidd be understood that a large number of the articles put on the market and taxed as medicinal bitters are uied as a bever­ age. Persons .engaged in the sale of such articles are not required to pay special taxes as retail dealers in liquors, so that, if the articles were relieved from taxation medicinal .bitters would be sold everywhere without paying any internal-revenuo tax what­ ever. In passing upon the right of these vari­ ous medicated bitters to be taxed as such, and sold without special tax as retail liquor-dealers, the office is often seriously embarrassed to tiud the exact lino between medicinal bitt.ei-B, liable to stamp tax, and compound liquor, subject. to be sold enlv as a beverage.- In my opin­ ion, it would be wise to continue the stamp tax upon all modicated bitters containing more than 2U per cent, proof spirits.. In reference to the tax upon savings banks, I would say that, in my judgment, these taxes should be removed, or the whole legislation npon the subject < f taxing savings banks should be modified and made more equitable, and there would seem to be no just grounds for continuing the tax upon the ciipilal and deposits of banks and banker* if it is found that revenues are sufficient with­ out it. "During the last four years and four months 4,061 illicit distilleries have been seized, and 7,339 persons have been arrested for illicit dis­ tilling. Twenty-six officers and employes have been killed and filty-seven wounded iu tho en­ forcement of tho internal-revenue lnws. During the past sixteen months 1.120 stills have let n seized, 1,265 persons arrested, and ten officers wounded 111 the enforcement of the laws. Wlnlo the number of stills seized and persons arreted since my last annual report is very large, I am Satisfied there will be a decrer.se henceforward iu the number of such seizures aud arrests." Regarding the encouragement of legal distil­ leries, t}ie report says: "In every county where legal distilleries have been established in any number illicit distilling has almost entirely ceased. Violent resistance to law has become almost unknown, •nd there has been a large increase of reve­ nue." The granting of the incrensed appropriation" asked for the collecting of taxes from these distill-, ries is specially urged. Additional legis­ lation for the protection of the lives and per­ sons of the officers of the Uu.ted States from t h«t nnlawful assaults of those who resist their autho'ity is also recommended. The total cost of collecting the internal reve­ nue for the fiscal year was $4,5*15,842, being 3.63 per cent, of the total amount co leeted. The estimates for the expenses for tbe .fiscal year ending June 3>, 1882, are $4.895,330. During the fiscal year 911,002,614 stamps were issued, tho value of which was $131,942,- 860. Report of the Director of the Mint. The annual report of the D.rector of the Mint shows the work of the year perfonnedjat the institutions under charge of the Mint Bu­ reau has been unusually heavy. The deposits of gold bullion at the mints and assay offices have been, both in number and value, greater than in any previous year--$98,835,096--and ex­ ceeding by nearly *30,000,OiJO tho highest pre­ vious deposit of 1861. This gain was not the result of increased (lepowits ol domestic pro­ duction, of which $35,821,705 were received, as against over $38,500.0 (0 for ttio previous yeHr. The deposits of plate, jewelry and worn coin were about $250,000 greater than 1879. amounting to $1,385,834, and receipts of foreign coin and bullion increased nearly $60,- 000,(HH), beirg $61,627,556, out of a total import of $62,550,837. Tbe deposits of silver and de­ liveries upon purchases were only exceeded during the coinage of fractional silver mid trade dollars in 1877 and 1878. The receipts of domestic silver bullion were $32,133,756; foreign coin and bullion, $2,210,105; pUte, jew­ elry 'and American coin, $2.886.001; totil. r84,140,522.79. Of these deposits $36,141,366 in gold and $2,574,235 in silver were tivms- fi rred of withdrawn from the assay office's or mints, and again deposited, making the total amount received and operated upon of both gold and silver $172,1(16,221. The coinage of void, although heavier than iu any previous year, con d not keep pace with the ••eposits, and $38,468,874 in gold bullion remained un- ••oined at the New l'ork Assay Office and Phi'a- delplila Mint at the close of 1I10 fiscal ye .r.
