opinion the question must be answered liz
the negative. First, we think that in respect
of executofy contracts for delivery or use of
movable things, or for service to be per-
formed, the law is clear that the party claim
ing the benefit of the contract might tender
performance, not orly in the manner but
within the time stipulated, and failing to do
this his right to demand performances ceases
altogether.
The result is the Postmaster General was,
when the ships were rendered on the 9Th of
Auguft, 1874, under no obligation to receive
them, or to take any steps upon the subject.
Second, we are of opinion that the Post
master-General had no lawful power or au-
thority to accept the vessels under the cir
cumstances, or to bind the United States in
the premises The measure of power of the
executive officers of the government is to be
found in the acts of Congress, which declare
what they arc to do, and how and when they
are. to do it. Floyd's acceptances q Wallace
667), to hold that an executive officer of the
government, authorized by law to enter into
a particular contract, may enter into another
and different one or dispense with the per-
Torrance of one lawfully made, would be
nominally against the rules of law, but dan
gerous in the extreme to the public interest.
The time at our disposal does not allow us
to 60 into extensive reasons or citation OF
authorities on the subject.

response TO a toast said the prevailing
passion of the Canadians was a desire
TO maintain intact their connection
with England, and that IL was impos-
sible to overstate the depth or uiiVer-

tiated oh the friendly relations oe-
tween Canada and the United States,
and said that every citizen OF tle
United States was convinced tllal Tue
fate of Canada was unaltcrable hNeu,
and that they contemplated the pro-
gress of Canada with generous entiu-
sasm, and that the Americans are
wise enough to understand the behe-
fits arising from the existence in same
continent of political system Offering
many points of contrast, comparison
and friendly emulations with their
own.
The visit of Emperor Wilhelm to
