was taken from John Rahilly' possession and

section 1915, chapter &c, General Statutes,
1878, Patrick Rahilly made a party de-

the trial without objection. 1t appears that

The agricultural interest of the country de-
mGnds just recognition and liberal encourage

Ing strength our nations prosperity by the
products of its steady toll, and bears its fun
share Of the burden of taxation without
complaint.
our aRricuturists have hut slight represen-

generally content with the humber duties of
citizenship ana willing to trust 10 the bounty
OF nature for "a reward for their labor.
Bat the magnitude and value of this interest
is appreciated when the statement is made
thai OF our total annual exports more than
three-fourJhs are the products of agriculture
and of our total population nearly 0ne-half
are exclusively engaged in that occupation.
The department Of Agriculture was created
for the purpose of acquiring and dltfusIng
among tho people useful information re
speeding the subjects il has in charge
and is doing in the cause Of
Intelligent and 1gErcs Sive farming
by the collection of statistics, by testing the
value and usefulness OF new seeds and plants

My attention is called 10 a controversy
which has arisen from the condition of the
law relating to railroad facilities in the city
OF Washington, which has involved the COM
missiOners of the district in much annoyance
ana trouble. / hope the difficulty will be
promptly settled by appropriate legislation.
The commissioners represent that enough
OF the revenues of the district are now on
deposit in the treasury oil the United States
10 repay the sum advanced by the govern
ment for sewer improvements under the act
OF june 80. 1873. They desire now an aa-
vance OF the share, which ultimately should
DO borne by the district, Of the cost of extern
sive improvements TO the streets Of the city.
The total expense OF these
CONTEMPLATED IMPROVEMENTS
is estimated at Sl,00000J, and they are of the
opinion that considerable sum could be
saved ifthey had all the money in hand, so
that contracts for the whole work could be
made at the same time. They express con
tidencc that If the advance asked for should
be nude, the government would be reim-
bursed within reasonable time.
have no doubt that the Improvement could
be made much cheaper if undertaken to-
gether, and prosecuted according to u general
plan The license law now in
force within the district is de-
licient and uncertain in some of its
provisions ana ought TO be amended. The
commissioners urge, with good reason, the
necessity Of providing u building for the use
Of the district government which shall better
secure the safety and preservation Of the
valuable books and records.
The present condition of the law in relation
To the
SUCCESSION TO THE PRESIDENCY
in the event of tho death, disability or re-
m0val of both the president and vice presi-
dent, is such a to require immediate amend
ment. This subject has repeatedly been con-
sidered by congress. but no result has been
reached. The recent lamentabe death of the
vice president and vacancies at the same
time in all other offices, the incumbents of
which might Immediately exercise the func-
tons of the presidential Office, has caused
public anxiety, and just demand that II
recurrence of such a condition of affairs
should not be permitted.
In conclusion ] commend to the wise and
thoughtful attention of congress the needs,
the welfare aud cooperation OF an intelligent
and generous nation. To subordinate these
to the
NARROW ADVANTAGES OF PARTNERSHIP
or the accomplishment of selfish aims, is to
violate the peOpie's trust and betray the peo-
ple'S interests. But an Individual sense Of
responsibility on the part of each of us. and
stern determination to perform our duty
well, must give us place among those who
have added in their day ana generation to the
glory and prosperity OF our beloved land.
