DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
In former messages impressed with the
importance of the subject, | have taken oc-
ca,ion to recommend to Cougrrs, the adOp-
ton Of generous policy toward the Dis.
trlct Of Columbia. The report of the com.
mlssiuncrs herewith transmitted contains
suggestions and recommendations 10 all OF
which earnestly invite your. careful altcn-
ton ask your early and favorable con
,dcrlton of the views which they express
rs to urgent need of legislation for the rccla-
nation Of the marshes of the Potomac and
lis eastern branch within the limits Of the
city, and for the repair of the streets Of the
capital, heretofore laid with wooden blocks,
and by delay rendered almost impossible
and Il source Of imminent danger To the
citizens. The means at the disposal OF the
commissioners are wholly inadequate for the
accomplishment Of these important works,
and should be supplemented by timely APP
preparations from the federal treasury The
filling Of the flats in front of the city will
add to the adjacent lands and parks now
owned by the United States q large and val
liable domain, sufficient, ii is thought, to re-
imbursc lis entire cost, and viii also, rs ar
incidental result, secure the permanent i'm
prOvemcnt of the river for navigation. The
constitution having invested congress with
iS,ip a.
District of Columbia, It's citizens must, Of
necessity, look to congress alone tor all need
full legislation affecting their interests, and
as the territory of tins district is the com
mon property Of the people Of the United
States, who, equally with its resident clti-
zens, are interested in the prosperity of their
capital, | cannot doubt that you will be am
ply sustained by the general voice OF the
country for any measure they may adopt for
the purpose.
also invite the favorable consideration of
congress to the wants of the public schools
of the district, rs exhibited in the report of
the commissioners. While the number Of
pupils is rapidly increasing, no adequate
provision exists for a corresponding increase
of school accommodations and the commits
siOnerS are without means to meet this urgent
need. A number of the buildings now used
for school purposes are rented, and are IN
important particulars unsuited for the pur-
pose The cause Of popular education in the
District of Columbia is surely entitled to
the same consideration at the hands of the
national government rs in several states and
territories, to winch munltiCent grants Of
public lands have been made for the endow-
ment of schools and universities.

SUFFICIENT grit" to take the offensive against mar

Kicking against tho pricks is neither profitable nor

particularly when the result to the attacking party
promises more of kicks than ha'pence. In plain

speculation-running sometimes deep and sluggish.
