Irview Of she general persistent demand
throughout tlss commercial community tor
national bankrupt law, hope that the
differences which have hitherto preseHteaits
enactment may aot outlast the present ses-
sion, The pestiaence which, for tho past.
two years has been raging in the eour2trles Of
the East recently made its appearance
in European ports with which we are in. con-.
slant communication. The then secretary OF
the treasury, in pursuance OF proclamation

restricting, and for time prohibiting the
importation OF rags and the admissions of
baggage OF immigrants and of travellers IT,
irving from infected quarters Lest this
course may have been without strict warrant
Of law, I approve the recommendation Of tbs:
present secretary, that congress take action
in the premises, and / also recommend the
immediate adoption Of such measures as
will be likely to ward off the dreaded, cpl
denic, and to mitigate its severity in case: it,

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
The annual report of the commissioners Of
the District of Columbia reviews the opera

code, the performance of labor by persons;

ommend that in recognition OF the eminent
services of Ulysses S. Grant, the general Of
the armies of the United States aud twice
president of the nation, congress confer upon
hum a suitable pension. The measures That
seem to me necessary and expelient have
now in obeyance to the constitution, recon-
| snended for your adoption. AS respects
others of no less importance'I shall content
myself with renewing the Recommendations
already made to the congress without restHt-
ing the grounds upon which such rtconmen-
dations were Based The preservation Of

alton bills; the enactment OF statutes il re-

DENTAL office, and the determining Of veXed
questions respecting presidential inability,
are measures which may Justly receive your
serious consideration. AS the time draws
nigh when ! am to retire FROM the public
service, cannot refrain from eI pressing to
the members OF the national legislature,

s0nal and orilclai Intercourse, my sincere APP
; probation of their unfailing courtesy. and
