on tbe committee of Retgenchment, and,
or course. .saH honorable meR.7 An a
larm ennallv wantOn has been spread a.
broad that under the head ofcontingencies,
gross misapplicahons ofth public money
9re made. that horses are kept for messen-
gers and that those horses are fed; that
0orsons are employed in keeping the ayen-
ues to the pnbhc offices from being over
crown with grass, &c. &c. Gen jackson
IS pictured to us having a sort Of instructive
horror of contingent expenses; and he Is TO
he elected TO put an end to this system Of
loose payments, to exact for every payment
n voucher, and 10 establisha responsibility
the most rigid.
AN this sounds very well. The only
mistake about it is, that it is abide theory
and speculative delusion. A very easy
reference to some part of the public life Of
Gen. Jackson viii show that he has no eX-
traordinary reluctance to fngerthe peoples
money. and that he is not subject to any
singular ouams when that lingering not
for mere contingencies, or when no Duch-
ers happen to be forthcoming. An ounce
of fact Is worth a ton of assertion. We
viii therefore carry our readers back a.
few years in the history of our countrT.
Gen. Jackson was a Major Geuenl in
the army ON its reduction in 1921. His
pay and allowances for thisrank are ethlb-
tied in the following abstract fer the year
1920, which is given as a specimen Of bis
annual charges against the United States

Amounting TO
for about three months. S2,5J3' So
These details we earnestly recommend
to the perusal of the Committee on Re
trenchment. They not only show that Gen.
Jackson's fare was something better than
hickory nuts; but they also show that he
was not reluctant to demand money from
the treasury, in gross amounts, without
gong through the Formally Of producing
vouchers. Hickory nuts Here we have
Noveau at 3 dollars a dozen, London
Porter at z dollars a box, Caret 10 dol
lars a box. Madeira at 5 dollars a gallon,
Brandy 18th proof at 4 dollars gallon,
Gunpowder Tea at 3 dollars a pound,
Lime Juice Syrup, Old Whiskey, Segars
&c. sc. excellent fare for an abstnent.
Admirable military diet An item of S277,
70 for nine DAYS board for the General
and family, is pretty good proof that he
lived on something better than hickory
nuts. The public pocket was deep, and a
handful more or less would not be missed.
Then we have 1870 10, for which no
receipts were taken, demanded and allow
ed ON Dr. Bronaugh's certificate, that this
amount had been expended, and not IN
cluded in any other account If Gen.
jackson could ask aud obtain money from
the treasury, without specifying and pro-
wing items, we shall be glad to be inform
ed with what Justice he would refuse TO
allow accounts ON the same principle
were he the president? Accounts are not
thus allowed under the present Anministra-
ton; and when we are told that Gen. Jack
son Is to reform our present system, 1t
must mean that he viii abolish a rigid, and
substitute Lar system of settlement.
We regret that the advocates of Gen.
Jackson. by the course of hostility TO the
present Administration, which they have
pursued, should have imposed on us the
necessity OF exhibiting these proofs of Gen.
Jackson's readiness to appropriate album
dainty of the public money to his own pur-
poses, whenever the opportunity was. at
lorded HIM; and of his unwilhngness to
I be fettered in his demands BY those forms
which have been established for the pur.
pose of preventing fraud and establishing

leled, that the present administration hav'
! been. VIGOROUSLY eNuavagant, and tina
General Jackson is the only man whC
could be selected, for his attachment t

lested patriotism, efectually to reform thI
system, and introduce one of ngld accoun

the practice of General Jackson bellies tn,

We may DEFY those adherents to pro
