"I return without approval Senate bill No. 2665, entitled 'An act granting a pension to Charles J. Esty.'"

"This was a proper disposition of the case unless the Government is held liable for every disability which may afflict those who served in the Union Army."

"I can see no reason why such a distinction should exist."

"I herewith transmit, in reply to the resolution of the Senate of the 2d ultimo, a report from the Secretary of State, with the accompanying documents, in relation to the seal fisheries in Bering Sea."
