Mr. Foote, of Mississipli, I
thought that I was .distiltly un.

in stating that I had -io .Sluion to

with this matter. , I recollected his
report, and I have had cccasiun to

of commendation. Up exprcsses

the language used ini the repor t, ex

of the E'xecutive to p~erfori~n his duty
thithifully- in excuting dhe powers
vested iin him on -this important

Mr. B3utler. I wish to .have the

Tiho Sebretary read the report, as
follows:
