| TeSentdtiJeS;
The failure Of the last congress to make the re
quisite appropriations for legislative and judicial
purposes and Tor the expenses of the several eX-
| ecutive departments of the government, and for
the support OF the army, has made It necessary to
call special session OF the Fortysxth Con
gress.
The estimates of appropriations needed, and
[ which were sent To congress by the Secretary OF
| the Treasury Mt the opening of the last session,
are renewed ana are herewith transmitted TO
| hDt n the Sanntn 81 nj House Of Rnnraapnfa
| Regretting the exstance OF an emergency which
| requires special session of congress ut a time
! when ii Ia the general judgement OF the codntry
that the public welfare will he best promoted by
rermanency in our legislation, and by peace and
| rest, commend these few necessary M assures 10
your consideration.
RUTHERFORD Is HAYES.
| Washington, March ~, 1879.
Accompanying the message are esti-
mates from the secretary, of money
needed for the army and the legislative,
executive and judicial branches of
government. These estimates are
the same rs those submitted at
the opening of the last session,
except the items provided for at the ses-
sion. The last congress made provision
for the military academy at West Point
and for the fortification armament. This
leaves, according to the estimates, S2S,-
$40, 300 to be appropriated for the army.
None of the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriations were provided
for, even in part. 1t is estimated that
these expenses will be Sic, 620,601. To
these appropriations is also to be added
the item for court expenses, which is
generally placed in the sundry civil BILL
but which was left out of that bill at the
last session. The estimate for these ex-
penses is about 100000. A joint res
olution to enforce the eight hour law
was introduced by Wallace. Adjourn
