REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE
INTERIOR. 'M
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,

DEPARTMENT THE INTERIOR,
DECEMBER 2, 1850.
SIR The duties which have been devoved by law the
Department Of the Interior Of the most varied and i'm
poan character As the name of the Department would
IMPLY they relate Of the interests of the country
which Of domestic nature. They embrace not only
variety Of Subjects but the duties to be performed widely
dssmlar, and partake in degree Of Legislative and
judicial, as well as Of an executive character.
To this Department is entrusted the general supervision
and management Of all matters connected with the Public
Domain, Indian Affairs, Pensions, Patents Public Buildings,
the Census the Penientary and the expenditures Of the
Judiciary.
It the duty Of the person in charge Of it to see to the
faithful administration of the laws relating these several
branches Of the public service and prescribe such regua
tons may be necessary to give full effect the Legislative
will And in addition these functions Of executive and
legislative character he required by law to act in judicial
capacity, and to decide all of appeal which may be
brought before him for adjudication from any Of the bureaux
in his Department Many Of these appeals especially from
the Pension Land and Indian offices, of great impor
lance in pecuniay point Of view, and involve the examna
ton Of volumnous records and the investigation and decision
Of intricate questions Of law and equity.
The act Of Congress which created the Department was
drawn up, probably by design, very general terms Many
its provisions exceedingly vague, and there seems to
have been aemp, define with precision the boundaries
Of its jurisdiction the extent Of its powers In the outset
this probably the udicous course, as experience
generally the best guide in the adjustment Of such matters
But would to be proper that there should be
more definite legislation prescribing the dstes and powers Of
the Department tina, there may be conflict with other
Departments and little nothing left to the discretion
Of the incumbent.
My predecessor, in bis annual report called your attention
to the inconsuiy in the law in reference the designation
Of the Department In the title Of tho oct styled
Rome but the body Of the law provides tina.
II shall be called The Department Of the Interior. The
late incumbent under whose auspices the Department was

1t is greatly to be regretted that authority conferred
by law for the appointment Of resident agents in New Mex
ico where they necessary than in any other part
Of the territory Of the United States. The Indians Of that
country, comprising the Camanches, Navsjoes, Utahs
Apaches and Ticcarllas the savage and awless
within boundaries. For many years they have been
in the habit Of making hostile ncuions into the neghbong
provinces of Mexico and ravagng whole neighborhoods-
numbering the men and carrying the women and children
into captivity. BY recent treaty with Mexico the Go
vernment OF the United States has bound itself repress
these ouages by Indians resident within borders. It is
essential therefore, for the fulfment Of treaty spula
tons with sister Republic well for the protection Of
citizens that agents should be sent among these
tribes who exercise restraining influence them.
The necessity for this measure has been painfully illustrated
by the ouirages which have been committed upon c
travelling to and from Santa Fe The attack upon Mr..
White and his party within few days journey Of that place
has obtained melancholy notoriey. He and bis whole
party brutay murdered with the exception OF his esti
mable wife and daughter under years Of age who
made captves Subsequently, being pressed by body Of
men who in pursuit Of them the Indians murdered Mrs.
White but still retain the daughter in horrible captivity AT
the last session Congress appropriated 500 be used in
procuring her release. This sum promptly placed at
the disposal Of COL Calhoun, the resident agent

power to il n such manner as he might think best He

My predecessor in his report which accompanied the an.

and the Treasury Building to dapdation, from the perish
able nature of the material Of which they constructed
Personal observation has satisfied that his fears on that
subject are well founded Experience has demonstrated that
the sandstone OF which they built when left unprotected
from the action OF the atmosphere rapidly dsiniegraes

covered and applied Is strong coating Of paint which, BY

house. would respectfully recommend therefore, that
appropriation be made Of an amount sufficient desy the
cost Of coating the Treasury Building thoroughly with paint
But at the same time should be left discretionary to adopt
any improved method Of effecting the same end.
In regard to the Patent Office the wings are to be OF
white marble and the ends protected BY being joined
to the WINGS leaving only the front and rear exposed to de-
