Speaking oil the present state Of the Department,
MIR Barry says:
1t is not, however, apprehondcd, that the eristiny state Of Tho
Department., and a continuation of the accommodations already in
current income, will require any assistance beyond what will arise
w Z " nd Pr"ss's yisiian %s'e sSs researcher 81 n os 10, 1ai It, as before stated
lieyed to DO equal to its present eSigoneies."
The same report shows that the current expenditure.
Of the last year were more than its recei pt.; butt
will aiso be reco'lected that Mr.. Mclean, the late
P~ost-ma.ter General, in speaking Of this subject, said
that the existing engagements at the time that he left
th- Department, would require an expenditure OF
10000 dollars per annum beyond lis receipts. To make
up that deficiency he relied upon the debts due the
department, and the increase Of revenue. Mr.. Barry
gays expressly, that, "DiM adequate vigilance. IN,
resources of the Department are believed to be- eouoI
TO IFS present erigencies." The statement OF the In.
;el!igencer H., therefore. untrue, and the conductors Of
that print, If actuaied by a proper regard for truth. will
not hesitate 20 reiract il.
Mr.. Barry has not asked for an additional appropri.
alton. He found tn. Department under existing en-.
agemcnts 10 a greater amount than It's revenue IT,
has given netc accommodations beyond the existing ron.
tracts made by his predecessor, which will require the
funds Of the DEPARTMENT.; and he does not ask an appro.
priaion unles. Congress, by the establishment of new
routes, make it necessary. We are gra,ifed 10 learn ina
the revenue OF tho DEPARTMENT il Increasing greatly
and that in the South and Southwest IL averages abou
nine per cent. on the previous revenue. This, ne
doubt, arises from the extension Of new routes and tbe
new facilities of transporting the mail. These fact. are
an appropriate answer 10 the declaration of an honoyn
Ole Senator, who, in his TRADE against the Department
dcclared that il had Lost The confidence of the peopI. =
We have before us the reply of tn. Post. master Gen.
eral 10 the call Of that Senator, which We will soon Ia,
before our readers, who will then see how much m,
opposition have been deceived 1U. s.. Tel.
