Judicial Expenses
The law having devoved the Secretary of the Interior
supervisory the accounts of marshas clerks
and other officers Of the Of the United States my
attention has been turned to the various acts of Congress
on that subject and the usages which have grown under
them The first thing which attracted my notice was the
rapid increase Of the expenses Of the judicial department
which as viii be seen by the annexed table, a. bears
Just proportion to the increase of the population and bust
ness of the country.
Upon examination found that the laws regulating the
fees Of the ministerial officers of the courts are obscure
conflicting and, as whole, incomprehensble Different
constructions have been given them by different Judges
and the consequence is that the compensation in some
States is inadequate and in others exavagant In some
instances the fault is in the aw in others is in Its ad
ministration.
With the view Of presenting the whole subject more
fully than could do in the limits Of this report, ADJ
dressed letter to the First Comptroller of the Treasury
requesting him to make communication to me in writ
ing embodying review of all the laws regulating the
fees Of officers Of the courts and of the modes Of char
ing under them in different States together with such
amendments as he might deem necessary This has been
accordingly DONE and it is submitted with this report
The first law regulating foes is the process of Sep
tember 90 1885, which temporary and soon expired

agricultural Bureau.
In my last report earnestly recommended the estab
shment of an Agricultural Bureau. My opinion on that
subject remains unchanged and beg leave to refer to
and reaflrm all that then said in regard to IT.
Agriculture unquestionably the great interest of
country whether have reference the number of
sons employed in it to the value of their productions
appears from the of 1910 that the whole number
Of persons at that time engaged in this pursuit was
7l9 951; in manufactures 79l, 749 and in commerce.
III 607 More than four-ffths of the entire population
we're therefore employed in the cultivation Of the SOIL
At present is believed that the proportion is still great
err consequence Of the change in the policy of the Go
vernment which has induced many to become agrcutur
lists who formerly engaged in manufactures And
yet find that whilst large portion of the sessions OF
every Congress devoted to the protection and
agement of manufactures and commerce. nothing has been
done for agriculture Within few years after the adop
ton of the Constitution, President Washington recon-
mended Congress the establishment of Bureau of Ag
rculture but nothing done to carry his
tion into effect
The subject has since been brought to the attention Of
Congress from time time, by Executive communications
reports Of the heads of Department and petitions from
the people, but without success
AS the results of the late have furnished official
evidence of the Importance of this interest and
at peace with all the world and fortunately relieved
from those dracting and embarrassing topics which have
long disturbed the harmony of our Legislative Assem-
bies and withdrawn their attention from the true interests
of the country it seems to that time could be
suspicious than the present to for this great sub
jet candid an6 enlightened consideration
The best mode of illustrating the utility OF an Agricul-
ta Bureau is to present condensed statement Of the
duties which shond be required to perform 1T should
be charged with the duty of collecting and disseminating
information in regard the cultivation OF the SOIL IN all
its branches It should Investigate every proposed i'm
provement in the age of the earth or in the construc
ton of implements Of husbaudry 1t should collect from
and foreign countries every variety OF seed 1r
plant and vegetable, and distribute them with full and
accurate information the soi climate and mode of
cultivation best adapted to each Through the agency OF

Of the route from ndianola to Ell Paso At Indanoa he
was by great and unexpected difficulties arising from
the scarcity of provisions and deficiency in the means OF
transportation BY the terms of the adjournment agreed
upon by the Commissioners, they required to meet
at FL Paso the first Monday in November lSoo but IN
Of the obstacles referred to- Mr. Bartlett was
unable to reach that place before the 5th OF hat mon
Fortunately however his delay caused practical in
convenience rs the Mexican Commissioner did not arrive
until the st of December The first meeting OF the Com
missoners was held the 3D. day OF December iooO
The instructions to Mr. Bartlett required him to establish
the line according the terms of the treaty. and the map
of Dturne of 184 referred to in it. 1t was soon found
however that the subject encompassed by difficulties
as actual observations proved that of the important
points on the map located considerable distance
from their true position According to Disturnes map
the longitude of the Rio Grande the initial point Of
the line would appear be 27o 35< west from Washing
ton whereas its true position is IVY 4o thus showing an
error of more than two degrees.
The 9th article of the treaty requires that the line shall
from the initial point which is where the Rio Grande
strikes the southern line of New Mexico, along that line
westwardy, its entire length which appears, from the
map, to be three degrees of longitude.
Many propositions and counter propositions sub
mitted by the Commissioners respectively The Mex
Commissioner proposed ascertain the true geogra
phica position of the wern extremity Of the southern
line Of New Mexico and the line thence to the Rio
Grande. To this, however, the Commissioner of the
United States would not agree because the Rio Grande
in fact than two degrees west of its supposed
position the effect of that proposition would have been
give the United States line extending westward but
about degree instead of three degrees from that river
Difficulties also existed in regard to the latitude Of the
point where the Rio Grande strikes the southern line
New Mexico. BY the map it appears to be at latitude
81o 49, whereas the true position is latitude 32o 2
After much discussion il agreed between the Com
mssioners the Goth Of December last that the snitia

strikes the southern boundary of New Mexico 800 22
