that occasion, and the present congress
having been, at the earnest desire of the
Swedish government, pUsponed to 1878,
this commission was renewed by an
appropriation of eight Thousand dollars

tiOn. for this same purpose the former
appropriation having been covered into the
treasury and being no longer available for
that purpose, without further action by
congress. The subject is brought to your
attention at this time in view of the cir
cumstances which render it highly de-
sirable that the commissioner should
proceed to the discharge of his i'm
