and men have discharged their duty
with fidelity audcotiirage-;-an.d without
complaint , --These circumstances, in
ray judgment, constitute-an extraordi
nary occasionT.requiring tht Congress
be convened hx advance of, .the .time
prescribed bylaw for your meeting in
regular session. ;
The importance of speedy action up
on this subject on the part of Congress,
isso manifest that I venture to suggest
the propriety oTnaking' the necessary2
appropriations for 5 the support of the
army lor the current year, at its max
imum numerical, strength of 25,000
men, leaving - for future considera
tion al questions relating to the in
crease or decrease of the number of
enlisted men. In the eyent of a reduc
tion of the army by subsequent legis
lation during the. fiscal year, the ex
cess of tbe appropriation could not be
expended ; and in the event of its en
largment, an additional gum, required
for the payment of an extra force,
could be provided in due time. It
would be unjust to the troops now in
service, whose pay is already largely
in arrears, if payment to them should
be further postponed till after Con
gress shall have considered all ques
tions likely to arise in the effort to fix
a proper limit to the strength of the
army.
Estimates of the appropriations for
the support of the military establish
ment for the fiscal year, ending June
30, 1878, were transmitted to Congress
by the former Secretary of ths Treusu
ry at the opening of its session in De
cember last. These estimates, modi
fied by the present Secretary so as to
conform to the present requirements,
are now renewed, amounting to $32,
436,764.98, and, having been transmit
ted to both houses of Congress, are
submitted for your consideration.
There is also required by the Navy
Department $2,003,861.27. This sum is
made up of $1,446,688.16 due to offi
cers and enlisted men for the last
quarter of the fiscal year ; $311,953 50
due for advances made by fiscal
agent of the government in London
for the support .of the foreign seviee ;
$50,000 due 't"'0" the Naval? Hospital

Prison Congress having been, at the ear
nest desire of the Sweedish government,
postponed to 1878, his commission was
renewed by me. An appropriation of
$8,000 was made in the sundry civil
service act of 1875, to meet the ex
penses of the commission. I recom
mend the re-appropriation of that
sum forthesame purpose, the former
appropriation having been covered into
the treasury, and being no longer avail
able for the purpose without further
action by Congress, the subject is
brought to your attention at this time,
in view of the circumstances which ren
der it h ighly desirable that the commis
sioner should pioceed to the discharge
of his important duties immedi tely.
As several acts of Congress providing
for detached reports from the different
departments ot the government require
their submission at the beginning of
the regular annual session.- I defer un
til that time any further reference to
subjects- of public interest.
