SECRETARY USHER.
A difficulty that may prove very serious for
Secretary Usher in Office or out has been brewing for
some time between him and Congress he hangs on to
the books The Thirtyseyenth Congress by joint res
oution directed him 10 distribute in certain way
mass OF broken and even sets Of books and documents
stored for safe keeping the Interior Department in
1859 He lodged compliance by saying that he
couldn't make an equitable dstrbution-that that
wasn't practicable Congress determined that II was
practicable and tha. it should be done. and al the last
session peremptorily ordered the joint Committee
Printing to take the books and distribute them in the
manner prescribed
Against this resolution passed by both Houses Usher
up his back and pleads first that he hasn't got any
books Of the kind contemplated by Congress, and
sec0nd intImates that the Joint Committee knocking
at his door for the books is dead and without authority
for the reason that the Congress which appointed it is
dead To the which Newsaie law and attorneys logic
the Joint Committee in epsc dated March II, thus
replies
I'VE cannot but regard She denial puerile nj

attempt to dsobey Law OF Consress-irst because
is irlpracilcabe and second. when made prao.icG-
be beyond all doubt by other excuses Is with all re-
spects a very questionable Scrrpui0pNesg
We beg 70 say in conclusion that n the resolution
OF the Jth Congress which you did allow 20 be proper
failed execute covered the books and documents
j. your Department. II repealed all authoiii! on your
pat b. dispose Of them. Otherwise than Us therein IL
