his my duty 70 cali ihe particular atten-
tion ofCongress 10 the present condition Of
lbe District Of Columbia. From whatever
cause the great depression has arisen which
now exists in the Pecuniary concerns Of
the citizens Of this district, il is proper that
its situation should be understood, and sucn
relief or remedies provided, as are consis-
tent with the powers Of Congress. /
saroestly recommend the extension Of eve
'ry political right to the citizens Of the Dis
trict, which their true interests require, and
which does not Conflict &ith the provisions
Of the Constitution. tIt Is believed that the
laws for the government of the District re-
quire revisal and ndahendment,nnd that much
good pa.' be done by modifying the penal
cod TO give uniformity to its pro-
wise ~


Your attention is also invited to the de-
lects which exist in the Judicial system Of
the United States. As at present organiz-
ed, .the States of the Uaiea derive UNEQUAL
advantages from the Federal Judiciary,
which have been 50 often pointed out, that
| deem it unnecessary to repeat here.
Il is hoped that the present Con ess will
extend to all the States, that equality in res
pect to the benefits of the laws oftbe-Union,
which can only be secured by lie uniform4
ity and efficiency Of the Judicial system.


With these observations on the topics Of
gguefai interest which are deemed worthy
consideration, leave them to your care,


fling that the. Legislative measures they
