FUNDS FOR NARsHALs.
message was read from the President call
ing attention to the immediate necessity of
making some adequate provisions for the due
execution by marshals and deputy marshals of
the important duties entrusted to them. The
message was referred to the committee on sp-
preparations. The following is the text of the
message:
To the Senate and House Of Representatives:
In. Inc o OH making appropriations for the pay:
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
tailed TO become law, respectfully
eau 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 enioincd
upon them by existing laws. All appropria.
tlons to provide for the performance OF these
Indispensable duties expire today. Under the
laws prohibiting public officers from involv-
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 today be left inadequate. The sus uspen-
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 state of things which
leaves the public service thus unprovidcd for
and the public interest thus unprotected. and
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. HAYES.
