| The adjournment OF the last Congress- with
out making appropriations for the support OF
THE ARMY
for the present fiscal year, has rendered ne
cessarv suspension Of payments to the
Onlccrs and men OF the sums due them for
serviccs rendered after the 3otA day of june
lnst- The army exists by virtae Of the statutes
which prescribe its numbers, regulate its or
Kanizafion and employment, and which fix the
| pay OF its ofi3cerS and men, and declare the
right to receive the same at stated pcriods.
The statutes: however, do not authorize che
| payment OF the troops1n the absence Of Spe-
ciiic appropriattpn 4herefai. The Cor
etftntfon has Nt1ly provided that nc
money shall be drawn from the Treasury
but in consequence of appropriations maile ~
law, and II has also been declared by stztzee
that no department Of the Government dali
expendy in any one fiscal year, any sum la ex-
cess Of fsle appropriation made BY Congress
for that fiscal year. We have, there1bre, an
army IN service, authorized by law, and en-
titled 70 be patG but no funds available for
that purpose. II may alsQtbe sal as an sddi-
ton;l incentive to p4pmpt action by Congress
| that since the COMMENCEMENT of the fiscal
year, TIE army, though without pay, has been
Constantly and actively employed In arduous
md dangerous service, In the performance Of
which both Officers and men have discharged
! their duty with fidelity and courage, and with
out complaint. These circumstances, in my
Juagment, constitute an extraordinary occasion,
