The executive duties growing out of the management of the naval forces had been committed by Congress to the War Department by an act approved August 7, 1789. It was not until April 30, 1798, that a separate Department was created for the purpose, when the act of that date provided for "an executive department under the denomination of the Department of the Navy, the chief officer of which shall be called the Secretary of the Navy." [For organization of Navy Department and distribution of duties among the Bureaus, see National Almanac, 1863.] The Congressional legislation of 1862-63 did not materially change the laws governing the Navy. Beyond the authority given to the President to appoint a commissioner to codify the naval laws, and the annual appropriation bills, there is scarcely any thing worthy of note. Among the principal appropriations are the following: For pay of commission, warrant, and petty officers and seamen, including the engineer corps of the navy.... For the construction and repair of vessels of the navy..... $14,734,332 70 9,298,000 00 For the purchase and building of additional steamers, repairs of the same, charter of 15,000,000 00 3,000,000 00 320,000 00 For the purchase of hemp and other materials for the navy...
