Fellow Citizens OF the Senate and House
Of Representatives: Tho adjournment Of
tho last Congress without making appro-
priatioas for the support Of the army for
the present fiscal year, has rendered neces-
sary q suspension Of payments to the Off.
GERS and men Of the sums due them for
services rendered after the thirtieth day Of
June last. The army exists by virtue Of
statutes which prescribe its numbers, reg
ulato its organization and employment,
and which liz the paw Of il. officers and
| men. and declare their right TO receive the
same At stated periods. The statutes.
| however. do moi authorize the payment Of
tbe troops in tho absence Of specific appro-
nri.tions. Therefore I suggest the pro-
pricty Of making the necessary appropriA.
lion, for the support of tho army for tho
current wear at il present maximum nu.

for future considerations all questions re-
