FellOlo citizens Of the Senate and House
| Of RepreSeatdtiUeS:-The failure of the
| ations for legislative and judicial pur-
| poses, for 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
10th congress. The estimates of appro-
priations needed, which were sent to CON
gress by the secretary of treasury at the
opening of the last session, are received,
| and are herewith transmitted to both the
senate and the house of representatives.
Regretting the existence of the emergen-
| cy which requires special session of
| congress at the time when it is the gen
eral Judgment of the country that the
public welfare will be best promoted by
| permanency in our legislation and by
peace and rest, l commend these few
necessary measures to your considerate
attention, RUTHERFORD b. HAYES.
