CONGRESS, UNITED STATES. 



by him, as they ought to be, the next Congress 

 will in my opinion bo ready to pass every ap- 

 propriation bill, just as it is now, adjourn, and 

 pi home without attempting before next De- 

 cember to perfect any further legislation." 



The Presiding Officer : " The question is on 

 the motion of the Senator from Ohio [Mr. 

 Thtirman] that the Senate recede from its 

 amendment to the legislative, executive, and 

 judicial appropriation bill which has been indi- 

 cated."

So the Senate refused to recede. 



The Presiding Officer. "The question re- 

 curs on the motion of the Senator from Min- 

 nesota [Mr. Windom] that the Senate insist 

 upon its amendments," which was decided in 

 the affirmative, and the bill failed to become a 

 law. 



EXTRA SESSION. 



On March 4th the President issued the fol- 

 lowing proclamation as a summons for an ex- 

 tra session of Congress : 



Whereas the final adjournment of the Forty-Fifth 

 Congress without making the usual and necessary ap- 

 propriations for the legislative, executive, and judicial 

 expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending 

 June 30, 1880, and without making the usual and 

 necessary appropriations for the support of the Army 

 for the same fiscal year, presents an extraordinary oc- 

 casion, requiring the President to exercise the power 

 vested in him by the Constitution to convene the 

 Houses of Congress in anticipation of the day fixed by 

 law for their next meeting : 



Now. therefore, I, Rutherford B. Hayes, President 

 of the United States, do, by virtue of the power to this 

 end in me vested by the Constitution, convene both 

 Houses of Congress to assemble at their respective 

 Chambers at twelve o'clock noon on Tuesday the 

 18th day of March instant, then and there to consider 

 and determine such measures as, in their wisdom, 

 their duty and the welfare of the people may Boem to 

 demand. 



In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand 

 and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. 



Done at the city of Washington this 4th day of 

 March, in the year of our Lord 1879, and of the Inde- 

 pendence of the United States of America the one hun- 

 dred and third. 



[p. B.] B. B. HAYES. 



By the President : 



WM. M. EVABTS, Secretary of State. 



This being the first session of the Forty- 

 sixth Congress, the Vice-President took the 

 chair in the Senate, and in the House Samuel 

 J. Randall of Pennsylvania was chosen Speak- 

 er. He received 143 votes, James A. Garfield 

 125, Hendrick B. Wright 13, and William I>. 

 Kelley 1. 



After the organization the following mes- 

 sage from the President to Congress was com- 

 municated : 



Fellow Citizens of the Senate and Houte of Repretent- 



atives: 



The failure of the last Congress to make the requi- 

 site appropriations for legislative and judicial purposes, 

 for the expenses of the several Executive Departments 

 of the Government, and for the support of tne Army, 

 has made it necessary to call a special session of the 

 Forty-sixth Congress. 



The estimates of the appropriations needed, which 

 were sent to Congress by the Secretary of the Trea- 

 sury at the opening of the last session, are renewed, 

 ana are herewith transmitted to both the Senate and 

 the House of Representatives. 



Regretting the existence of the emergency which re- 

 quires a special session of Congress at a time when it 

 is the general judgment of the country that the public 

 welfare will be best promoted by permanency in our 

 legislation and by peace and rest, I commend these 

 few necessary measures to your considerate attention.
