<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10"><inline class="smallCaps">In</inline> publishing the following Laws, the same plan has been adopted that was prescribed in the Joint Resolution of Congress of March 3, 1845 (Vol. V., p. 798), authorizing a subscription to the edition of all the Laws of the United States published by us. A close examination of this volume will disclose some apparent errors in the Laws as here printed; but as we procure a careful collation with the records at Washington by an experienced reader of the Department of State, and scrupulously follow the original, any seeming errors must be attributed to the Rolls, and not to us. Where anything absolutely necessary to the sense is omitted in the Rolls, it is inserted in the text, enclosed in brackets.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10">We intend to publish annually, and as soon after the close of each Session of Congress as is possible, the Acts of that Session, in a similar form and with a similar arrangement.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10">It will be seen by the following extracts from the Act of Congress, August 8, 1846 (Vol. IX., p. 76), and the Joint Resolutions of September 26, 1850 (Vol. IX., p. 564), and March 31, 1866 (Vol. XIV., p. 352), that our edition has been sanctioned by Congress, and is the <inline class="smallCaps">Official Edition</inline>.</p>
<quotedContent>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10">“And whereas said edition of the said Laws and Treaties of the United States has been carefully collated and compared with the original rolls in the archives of the Government, under the inspection and supervision of the Attorney-General of the United States, as duly certified by that officer: therefore, <i>Be it further enacted,</i> that said edition of the Laws and Treaties of the United States, published by Little &amp; Brown, is hereby declared to be competent evidence of the several public and private acts of Congress, and of the several treaties therein contained, in all the courts of law and equity and maritime jurisdiction, and in all the tribunals and public offices of the United States and of the several States, without any further proof or authentication thereof.”—<inline class="smallCaps">Approved,</inline> August 8, 1846.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10"><i>“Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.</i> That the Secretary of State be authorized and directed to contract with Little &amp; Brown to furnish their annual Statutes at Large, printed in conformity with the plan adopted by Congress in eighteen hundred and forty-five, instead of the edition usually issued by his order, under the act of Congress of April twentieth, eighteen hundred and eighteen, and which conforms to an edition of the laws now out of use.”—<inline class="smallCaps">Approved,</inline> September 26, 1850.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10"><i>“Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.</i> That the Secretary of State be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to renew the contract of October thirty-first, eighteen hundred and fifty, between the Department of State and Little, Brown, and Company, of Boston, Massachusetts, for the annual publication of the Statutes at Large of the United States until otherwise ordered by Congress, in conformity with the joint resolutions approved respectively March third, eighteen hundred and forty-five, and September <i>thirtieth</i> [twenty-sixth], eighteen hundred and fifty.”—<inline class="smallCaps">Approved,</inline> March 31, 1866.</p>

<num value="A">A. </num>
<heading class="inline">Main building on the northern front,—</heading>
<sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Improvements.</p></sidenote>
<content class="inline">
<p class="inline">The northern or avenue front will be appropriated to an edifice which consists, as per design, of projecting pavilions, with deep returns on Seventh and Ninth streets. These are five stories in height above the ground, exclusive of the prominent Mansard roofs ; further, it consists of connecting wings, four stories high above ground, and having also Mansard roofs. The main part of this building will be eighty feet in depth, exclusive of wide projections at center and at ends, towards the south, and of light ornamental projections to the north.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The first story of this building is occupied by stores, and the upper stories will contain all the necessary and useful accommodations for offices, rooms, or other lawful purposes, the servants’ department of which is located in a basement, which has also cellars for the stores, and the necessary cold-air ducts, hot-air flues, coils of steam-pipes, chambers and fixtures for heating all the rooms and corridors of the whole building with low-pressure steam generated in non-explosive boilers, walled in fireproof. Among the modern accommodations are prominent separate elevators, with best mechanical appliances for the conveyance of persons and baggage to the different stories; liberal allowances for lobbies, public and private parlors, reading rooms, large and well-ventilated modern public and private halls, suites of rooms and single rooms, with communicating bath-rooms and alcoves, good-sized plain rooms, spacious corridors, twelve feet in width, easy and wide stairways in sufficient number, which afford easy egress in case of alarms; further, large dust shafts through the house ; also speaking-tubes in all directions, electric bells and clocks.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The whole avenue front, as well as the fronts of the pavilions, returned around their northern corners on Seventh and Ninth streets, will be faced with granite for entrance story, and with marble or cut sandstone of equal style and durability for upper stories up to the main cornice. The ornamental and molded or carved trimmings of the windows, and other details implying the art of the sculptor, will be constructed of metal. All the above cut-stone and ornamental work to be backed with and anchored to brick work of proportionate thickness, consisting of best hard-burnt bricks, laid in cement mortar. The Mansard roofs will be covered with ornamental state laid to chaste and tasty patterns ; the roof of the cupola will be covered in likewise with projecting ribs of galvanized metal running up along the hips, and the prominent parts of which are gilded. The flat part of the Mansard roofs will receive a metal covering, laid on English felt, the scroll-work forming the crest-railings along the upper edges of the French roofs; and all similar parts, whether purely constructive or decorative, wherever they are exposed to the destructive agency of the elements, will be of cast or wrought iron, and bronzed. The shell of the building, respectively, the substance and finish of its exterior being thus clearly defined, we now proceed to specify the character and substance of construction and interior finish.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The foundations and cellar walls to be started upon two courses of bluestones, of extra size, well bedded on the natural ground, and flushed in solid with good cement mortar. All the foundations to go down to solid natural ground, and wherever this or its equivalent cannot be obtained, recourse must be had to pile foundations.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The basement and cellar walls will be built with best blue-stone masonry, laid in cement mortar; the floors of cellars and basement to consist of a layer of concrete, consisting of cement, brickbats, and broken stones in due proportions and of a proportionate thickness for the different purposes. The floors to he laid upon this substratum of cement will consist of bricks, pure cement, or wooden flooring, as the considerations of safety, health, and comfort of the occupants will require.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The ceiling of the cellar, or, rather, floor of the entrance story, will be constructed fire-proof, of rolled iron beams with intermediate brick arches<page identifier="/us/stat/16/130">130</page> <sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Improvements.</p></sidenote>wherever any remote danger may be apprehended, but those sections between the stores and their cellars will be laid with wooden joists, the intervals between which will be counter-ceiled and filled in with a layer of hair-mortar two inches thick. All the wooden floors of the building which separate the upper stories will be constructed with these same precautions against the progress or communication of fire from one story to another.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The floors of lobby and private entrances to the upper stories will be laid with encaustic English tile, and the rest of the floors of this and the upper stories of best narrow North Carolina pine.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">All the principal partitions of entrance story to be constructed of brickwork.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The fronts of the stores to consist mainly of French plate glass of first quality, set in hard-wood finish.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The upper stories will be divided off by what externally shows as pavilions, into fire-proof compartments formed by substantial brick partition walls; but the minor subdivisions will be formed by studded partitions, thoroughly bridged and trussed where necessary, all plastered in three-coat work with hard finish, proportionate cornices, pilaster-caps and center-pieces of ornamental stucco-work for the more prominent rooms.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The outside walls must be stripped and lathed, preparatory to plastering.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">All the windows to have double box frames and one and three-quarter inch thick sash.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">All the sash of fronts to be in imitation of French sash, to be glazed with best crystal sheet-glass of double thickness, they, as well as the rear windows, to have boxed inside shutters. Door frames and modern-styled interior doors to be one and three-quarter inches thick. The trimmings of windows and doors to consist of heavy and bold moldings, well proportioned in width and projections, and graduated for the different stories. All the washboards to have sub-bases, screwed to the floors and top moldings. The roofs and cupola must be framed and trussed in best and scientific manner. All the rooms inside the Mansard roof to be studded out square. Well-secured and largest-sized skylights will run for the whole length of the longitudinal corridors, so as to introduce an abundance of light and ventilation by means of shafts. Ornamental skylights on top of well-holes of stairs will also serve for this purpose.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">Ornamental and heavy marble mantels for all the principal rooms. All the hardware required will be of the best American manufacture, sufficiently strong for the different purposes, and in elegance graduated for the different stories and departments.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">Particular attention roust be paid to the successful and substantial execution of the plumber’s work, with galvanized iron supply-pipes for Potomac water, sufficiently large to feed fire-plugs for two-inch hose in each and every story. Globe valves or compression stopcocks must be introduced in sufficient numbers to shut off each story, and again, each bathroom, or section of the work, independently, so as to reduce the inconveniences to the particular locality where any repairs may be required hereafter. These stopcocks must be connected by tubes with the wastepipes, so as to empty the pipes without the possibility of injury to the building. All the plumber’s fixtures, such as stationary wash-trays, ranges, sinks, washstands, water-closets, urinaries, and bath-tubs, must be of the best and most approved patterns and manufacture ; all of them will have independent, large-sized stink-traps, with trap-screws to afford best facilities for removing any obstructions. All this plumber’s work in upper stories must be set on lead-lined floors, which must be connected by trapped tubes with the waste-pipes, so as not to expose the rooms to any contingencies of overflows by leaks in the connections of fixtures with pipes. All the wash-trays and sinks to be of soapstone or enameled<page identifier="/us/stat/16/131">131</page> iron ; the washstands for principal stories to have China bowls and countersunk<sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Improvements.</p></sidenote> marble slabs ; for basement, entrance story, and upper stories, the washstands will consist of enameled iron.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">The public water-closets to have self-acting hopper-closets ; the private closets to be pan-lever pull closets; all the bath-tubs to be copper-planished with seamless bottom to be set on well-boxes, let into the lead-lined floors. The plumber’s work for principal-story bath-tubs will all be provided with silver-plated cocks, plugs, and chains. Lead-lined small tanks with bells and ball cocks for the supply of evaporating pans of the coil chambers, so as to supply moisture to the heated air throughout the house.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">No waste-pipe to be less than two inches, and no soil pipe to be less than five inches, interior diameter, and all to be securely and well connected with and trapped from the main sewer pipes leading to the canal. Three-inch main gas-pipes to be introduced for the supply of the house, and to be properly graduated throughout all the rooms, corridors, and passages of the house, stopcocks to be introduced in sufficient number, so as to enable the gas to be shut off immediately front any section of the building where any alarm of fire may be given. All the painting through the house, outside and inside, to be done in four coats, with best Lewis’s while lead and linseed-oil, or zinc paint, as the case may require it. The parlors and public rooms of second and third stories to be finished artistically in parti-colors, with China gloss. The glazing of rear elevation and skylight, and so forth, to be done with best Baltimore glass, single or double as the case may require.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">All the down spouts from the roof to be connected with the sewer, so as to keep them from freezing and serve the purpose of ventilating the sewer.</p>

<heading class="inline">Wing along Seventh Street front.—</heading>
<content class="inline">
<p class="inline">The entire frontage on Seventh Street, to the south of the above-described building, will be appropriated to a two-story building, seventy-five feet in width, and covered with a metal roof. For character of the foundations, reference is made to that specified for building on the avenue. There will be a cellar, containing an independent steam-heating apparatus for the second story of this building, arranged fully equal to the one described before. The first story will be arranged for a large and open market hall, prepared to receive convenient, large-sized, and tasty modern market stalls, not less than twenty feet high ; the floor to be laid with a proper fall towards traps for each stall or set of stalls, connecting by large-sized drain-pipes with the sewer. This hall will have a brick floor upon a concrete foundation, except that part constituting the drive-way for wagons leading into the hollow square, and which will be laid with the most approved wood pave ment. Ample light and air will be thrown into this hall by pivoting windows on the east and west side, which will be glazed with ground glass to intercept the solar rays. Two rows of wrought-iron columns will support rolled-iron girders, supporting a fire-proof floor, constructed by brick arches sprung between rolled-iron double T beams.</p>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10">Wide fire-proof stairs of wrought and cast iron lead to the second story of this wing, containing ample and spacious office rooms. All these rooms to have wooden floors laid on concrete, filling up the haunches of the brick arches. The finish of this wing to be equal in substance and style to that of the office rooms in the new building lately erected for the department of agriculture; the partitions to be of brick wherever feasible, and the ceiling to be light but fire-proof. The outside walls of this building to be constructed of the best hard-burned bricks, with a chastely ornamented pressed-brick front, facing Seventh Street; window-sash in imitation of French sash, glazed with crystal sheet-glass. The frame of the roof to be solidly constructed, and to be thoroughly trussed, ventilation shafts to reach above roof for market hall, and ventilating flues for all the office<page identifier="/us/stat/16/132">132</page> <sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Improvements.</p></sidenote>rooms, with the necessary registers. Light wells above corridors. All the details required for the successful execution of the work to be provided for and done, such as plumbing and gas-fitting, fully equal to that specified before.</p>

<heading class="inline">Wing along Ninth Street.—</heading>
<content class="inline">
<p class="inline">This wing will be laid out similar to that on Seventh Street, to which reference is made, therefore, for the construction of foundations, walls, floors, and roof. But the width of this wing will be eighty feet outside measure.</p>

The south side of this shed between the iron columns will be enclosed by a light brick-base wall, seven feet in height, and wide stationary blinds above. All the exposed iron, tin, and woodwork, inside and outside, to be well painted in three-coat work and tints, as will be directed by the architect.

He, Fry, administered the oath to said Harmon and sons; there being no Bible at hand, he caused them to place their hands on the Union flag while he solemnly administered the oath to be ever faithful and true to the Union. He then ordered them to destroy the bridge across Lick Creek, and the trestle-work, nearly one mile in length, in Greene county, East Tennessee. They soon picked their opportunity, and, under the eye of Captain Fry, put fire to the bridge and trestle-work, and destroyed the same. And whereas the said Harmon and two sons were arrested, placed in a rebel prison, were tried by a rebel court-martial, convicted, and Harmon and one son hung till dead, near the town of Knoxville, East Tennessee, on the seventeenth of December, eighteen hundred and sixty-one (the other son having contracted disease while in prison, died); and whereas the said Harmon did employ counsel to defend himself and sons, for which he executed his notes to said attorneys, for the sum of three thousand dollars, and did give said parties a lien or mortgage upon his real estate to secure the same; and whereas on the twenty-seventh day of July, eighteen hundred and sixty-eight, a decree of sale of said land was ordered, for the sum of four thousand one hundred and ninety-three dollars and fifty cents, which, if no relief is given, will leave the widow with five children and but little means left whereby to make a support; and whereas it is evident that said Harmon and sons lost their lives in the service of the government, and now, in the name of justice, honor, and humanity, the Congress of the United States is in duty bound to relieve the widow and her children from this debt of oppression, they never having received one cent for the services rendered by her said husband: Therefore,</recital>

<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10"><inline class="smallCaps">Note</inline> 1.—The rates of postage having the letter (a) prefixed increase by an additional rate for every 7½ grammes or fraction thereof. Those marked (c) increase according to two different principles,—8 cents being reckoned for each rate of 15 grammes, and the remainder for each rate of 7¼ grammes. Upon letters for all other places an additional rate is to be reckoned for every 15 grammes or fraction of 15 grammes.</p>

<note>
<p class="indent0 firstIndent1 fontsize10"><inline class="smallCaps">Note</inline>.—To the British North American provinces and the Sandwich Islands, respectively., the rate must be increased in the same proportion, viz. fifteen cents for each quarter of an ounce, or fraction of quarter of an ounce. To all the other countries above named, the postage beyond the United States must be computed as follows, viz. one rate for the first half-ounce or under; two rates if the weight is over one half and not exceeding an ounce; four rates if over one ounce and not exceeding two ounces; and so on, charging two rates for every ounce or fractional part of an ounce over the first ounce. In adding the United States and French postage on letters to these last-named countries, the United States proportion of inland postage (three cents the single rate) must be excluded, as this is included in the rates set down as the postage from the United States.</p>

No ship of war or privateer of either belligerent shall be detained in any port, harbor, roadstead, or waters of the United States more than twenty-four hours, by reason of the successive departures from such port, harbor, roadstead, or waters of more than one vessel of the other belligerent.
