millions more of money or rather for lepisla.

estimate of the Department showed want

sue of five millions Treasury notes: Congress
made noProvision; but at the instance Of the
Chairman of the Committee of WAYS and

dent to postpone until the close of next Com
gress, such of the works provided for as he
might deem the state of the Treasury to re-
quire. Coupled with this amendment was a
deceptive excuse for it, intimating that the
expected deficit would arise from non-pay-
ment by the former deposit Banks and by the
United States Bank of the balances due by
them. Now the old deposite Banks only owe
less than 100000: and of the bond due by

For though | am no lover of the sport
OF harmless murder, yet it is to me
About the funniest thing ON earth to see
A corpulent person, breathing with a snort,
Go on shooting frolc all alone;
For well | know that when he's out OF town

And undestructives sleep, till game and light
are flown.
