Congress.
In 1919 Congress granted township of land for the
support of asylum for the deaf and dumb in Hartford
Connecticut In 1926 they granted another township of
land for the support of similar institution Danvile
kentucky; and in 1872 Congress appropriated $50 600
be expended in the purchase Of provisions to be sent
to the people Of Venezuela who had suffered from the
great earthquake; and in 1916 they granted tract of
land in the Territory Of Missouri called the "New Ma
drd grants for the benefit of such persons had suf
ered by earthquakes. In 1927 Congress voted $50 600
the city of Alexandria for the relief of persons who
had suffered by the FIRE which had consumed consider
able portion of the town; and in lS47 Congress autho
zed the employment of the United States ships Mace
DOMAIN and jamestown to transport provisions for the
furnishing poor Of Ireland and Scotland. These were all
objects Of charity, Of benevolence, and humanity. They
objects local and temporary in their character and
in two instances, among foreign people Yet the Con-
gress Of the United States answered the calls human
suffering, and in bestowing these grauies, while you
inflicted blow upon the Constitution, you struck re-
sponsive chord in the American heart.
In 1881 Congress granted tract Of land to the
of Shawneetown, Illinois, for the purpose Of gradu.
ang and paving the river bank within the limits Of that
town and at another time similar grant was maoe to
county, Ohio for the improvement of streets
and alleys. But need not multiply instances Of this
sort Special grants in almost unlimited numbers have
been made for purposes of local Improvement for edu-
caonal purposes for sites for courthouses for church
es and cemeteries, and the like.
