The attent ion of Congress is earnestly
invimld to the necessity of a rovision of
our rovenuO system. Our internal revo
nuole lawis and impost system should be
so adjusted as to bear most heavily on
article's of luxury, leaving the necessa
rios of life as free from taxallon as may
1)0 consistent with L.he real wants of the
Government, economically administered.
Taxation would not tien fall unduly on
th man of moderate means ; and (while
nonio would be entirely exempt from
assessnlont, all. in proportion to their
pecimti ry abil.ics, would contribute
toward the( siport of the State. A
modiiica tion of the internal revenue
system, bv a large reduct ion m the num
ber of atil es now suiject to tax, would
be followed by result- eq:idlly advanta

economy should be carried into every
)ranzch of the public service, that the
oxponditures of the Government may
be reduced and the people relieved from
oppressiv etaxation ; a sound currency
shonlid ba rostored, and the public (1ai4h

The report of the Secretary of the
Navy state that we havo seven squad.

under efficient and ablo comnimaidors,
in protecting the person and property of
American citizens, maintaing the digni
ty and power of .tie Government, and
pronotimg the commerce and busines:o
iilerests of our countrymen in every
part of the world. Of the two hundred
and thirty-eight vessels composing the
present navy of the United States, fifty.
six, carrying ono hundred and seven
g(u's, are in squadron service. During
die year the number of vessols in com..
mlission has been reduced twelve, and
there are thirteen less on squadron dutv
than there were at the dato of the last
report. A large number of vessels were
commenced and in the courso of con
striction when the war torinated, and
although Coingross had made the neces
sary appropriations for their completion,
the Department has either suspended
work upon them or limited the slow
coipletion of the steam vessels, so as
to moet the contracts for machinery

total expendituros of the Navy Depart
