THE MESSAGE.
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
ment of fees Of United States marshals, and
| their general deputies, which have this day
returned to the House of Representatives,
in which it originated, with my objections,
| having in its reconsideration by that body
failed TO become law, l respectfully
| call your attention to the immediate
| necessity of making some adequate provision
| for the due and efficient execution by the mar
shals and deputy marshals of the United States
| of the constant and important duties enjoined
upon them by existing laws. All appropria-
| lions to provide for the performance of these
indispensable duties expire to-day. Under the
| laws prohibiting public officers from involv-
ing the government in contract or liabilities
beyond the actual appropriation, it is ap-
| parent that the means of this disposal of the
| executive department for executing the laws
through the regular ministral officers, will
after to-day be left inadequate. The suspen-
| sion of the necessary functions in the ordinary
administration of the first duties OF the govern
ment for the shortest period is inconsistent
| with the public interest, and at any moment
may prove inconsistent with public safety
1t is impossible for me to look with
| out grave concern on a state Oh things which
leaves the public service thus unprovided for
and the public interest thus unprotected, and
1-earnestly urge on your attention the neces-
sity OF making immediate appropriations for
| the maintenance Of the service of marshals
and deputy marshals for the fiscal year which
| commences tomorrow.
(Signed) R. B. HAYES.
