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 enioined
upon them by existing laws. All appropria-
tions to provide for the performance of these
! indispensable duties expire to-day. Under the
laws prohibiting public officers from involving
| the government in contract or liabilities be.
yond the actual appropriation, it is apparent
that the means at the disposal of the execu
tive department for executing the laws through
the regular ministral officers, will after to-day
be left inadequate. The suspension of the
necessary functions in the ordinary admins
tration of the first duties of the government
for the shortest period is inconsistent with
the public interest, and at any mo-
ment may prove inconsistent with public
safety. 1t is impossible for me to look with
ont grave concern on a state of things which
leaves the public service thus unprovided for
and the public interest thus unprotected, and
earnestly urge on your attention the neces-
slty of making immediate appropriations for
the maintenance of the service of marshals
and deputy marshals for the fiscal year which
commences tomorrow.
