history that every President who
has chosen 10 do so has retired from
Office with clear saving Of the
larger portion of his salary-and
that too, without having observed
any unsecmly niggardllness in
keeping up the bospitalitirs of the

Office, The Congress has beer
generous in appropriations going
to spare the Presidents private

in this regard shall continue, th'

mined to make that officer detray
