Making a deficit Of

The Secretary might Just as easily, md with almost
es much show Of pausbillty, have made the cehc. on
the ls OF August fifteen millions, as to have MADE u
what is shown by this satement-to VIII S'Hol'''0o'
e had only propose to expend ten millions more III
the three months think | cannot have failed 10 sa-
tsfv the committee that the amounted new and per-
manent appropriations made by Congress at its last
sion furnishes the true rule by which TO graduate the
expenditures of this year. They amounted TO less
than twenty millions of dollars; and TIE late secretary
of the Treasury estimated that 'he expenditures o'
the present year should not exceed twenty millions,
These data would give average expenditure OF about
6 900 600 per quarter to which If the present Secre
tary should adhere he would have IN the treasury on
the LIST Of September surplus OF 'oo,boo instead oil
deficit of 50, PSI ,5S. But It s obvious from his re-
mort that it is moi his intention TO be governed either
by precedent by the estimate OF his immediate pre-
decessor; as his estimate al expenditure from Inc
4th of March to the end of the year is $50
equal 10 about eight millions per quarter and for the
three months commencing the LIST OF June and end
inc on the 3st August be proposes to exceed his own
average more than three millions of dollars; which, at
the same rate for year. would make the expenditures
exceed S44 OO00 900 Is there any thing in the rea-
tions of the country in the necessities OF the public
service TO require such expenditure: II there be,
the information has not been communicated to Con-
gress.
But il is apparent that this estimated deficit the
at of September is not expected TO be produced by
existing appropriations but in part by new ones asked
by this Administration, and also by reduction OF the
receipts from customs and from lands during those
three months, below the average of the Secretary 5
own reduced estimates for the year, amounting to 5000,
O00.

creased TO than 35 000 900 for like PURPOSES and
Won have some of the objects which the 3l $40 Ola
of alleged debt have been applied.
shall next proceed to examine the third statement
Of the Secretary by which he makes the aggregate of
s'debt and "dsfci-mark The terms: not debt alone,
year amount TO SIG, 600, C00 and what think you Sir,
will be thought ny the people when they come to I'M
derstand that more than six millions and half of this
alleged "debt and "defet" is proposed 10 be created
by this Administrations: will take the last item in
this bill of particulars hrst-the of $4,000 900,
which the Secretary proposes suitable balance to
be kept in the Treasury of the u s. This surely will
not be charged as debt against the late Administration:
it is only deficit and let it be borne in mind that il is
deficit proposed to I've created by the Secretary him
self But why keep 81 ,ooouoo IDLE IN The Treasury
The Secretary admits that it is not necessary while the
power 10 issue Treasury notes exists and that power
will continue the 10Th day Of February lS42 Then
why include il in his estimate OF "debf and "dtc,tF
1t could not constitute part OF either, unless appro-
prated by Congress infer, then, that was included
expressly for the purpose ofhavng it provided for at
this extraordinary session in other words, to borrow
the money, that may have the pleasure OF paying
upon it the interest when the principal IS not needed
But this ia not provided for in the BILL Even the
friends of the Secretary cannot be made TO "toe the
mark" and vote it. Sir, with his talent for creating
"debt and "defeit, and applying the rules OF strlct
economy" in the expenditures of public money, We
shall be fortunate indeed if this of $4,000 0O0 OF
sdebf and efeit is not doubled before the close of
the year. We have, them this of de5t and de-
felt reduced from $l6,00o,0oO to Si2000,000. This
brings me to the next item in the account, amounting
to 81, OS7 274 which are told will be required to
redeem Treasury notes in the year 1912 Without CO.
imp at this time examination of the correctness
of this assertion why call extra session of Congress
in May, 1884, to provide for this sum- which the secre
tary admits is not to become charge upon the Treasn
~ until ls42. Would not the regular session, which
will commence on the FIRST Monday in December, have
been in ample time for this alleged emergency And
what sufficient reason can be Tor borrowing SO
large an amount twelve months in advance of the pc.
Rod at which il is expected to be wanting? it must
be apparent that it constitute part Of the alleged

 TIE GRAND RYPREsEETMENT.-Ihe Penn svlqanan of yesterday says:-Ihe motion b quash the presentnenl of the Grand Jury against N.

Fiddle were gene ally that the Grand Jury had acted con Iary To law thai 1t was not authorised to adnlh'sler | oaths which were argue at length by him. He was followed by the Attorney General for the Common wealth. and in favor of the proceedings and action ol | the Grand Jury in the matter.
 The individuals presented by thc Grand Jury, were 1 represented by Counsel, except Mir. Cowpe thwait against whom bench warrant WAS issued John Ai. Read, Esq., appeared for N. Riddle, ii. NJ.

 The Philadelphia Ledger, a6er commenting al length on the proceedings in the ease says:- The Attorney General speaking with much force, when we were compelled to leave the Court, fully sat isted that nJ determination would be reached during the day, bui of the belief, from various indications o the Court thai the motion to quash would eventually prevail and the Iabors and praiseworthy research o one of the most independent and indcitlgable Grand | JuriPa pv in would be | to the winds.

We have selected for to-day, two of our recent letters received from Tuscaloosa. We shall follow them tomorrow with others--after which we may give our own of some of the notions winch seems to prevail at the seat of legislature.
 Among the proceedings of the legislature not mo- ticed in these etters are the following, which we have culled from papers.
 A Bill has passed the House of Representatives, creating county out of part of Dale. It has been called Cofse county in honor of Gen. Cee who distinguished himself highly in the Creek war and at New Orleans The county seat has been called Welborne.
 resolution has passed both houses appointing joint committee 70 take into consideration the pro- pricty of making third Chancery District, in the State. :
 The amendments which defeated the Bill to pre- vent frauds at elections, which authorised ag cector to vote for egress, Governor and eector {. any county in lhaStSe, which Is clearly unconstlu- tiona so far as Congress and electors concerned as the constitution of the United States gives the right of suffrage to these offices the electors for the most popular branch of the State Legislature, in each state and then residence within the county is requir- ed by the state constitution.
 Bill to hold only triennial sessions of the Legis- ature, and to reduce the number of members to 70 has been ordered to n second reading, in the House. It will not pass. It Is constitutional change and requires to pass two legislatures.
 bill was introduced into the House on the 18th by Mir. B. McAlpin, to provide for the sunmoning of Grand Jurors to at the special criminal terms of the Circuit Court of Mobile County which was read three times and passed forthwith.
 A bill to put the Decatur Bank in liquidation has been referred to select committee, consisting of Messrs Clemens, Yancey, Jemison, James, Rice, Hutchinson, and B. McAIpin.
 On the 2Oth, the House was engaged in discussing the Penal Code.

The Philadelphia presentment against the great Fnanciers of which we publish brief account to- day, is remarkable event. Public opinion seems to be struggling rd to reach the authors of the re- mendous frauds which are universally thought to have produced the disasters of the Bank of the Unit ed States-swa owing up it's thirty fonr millions ol capital and spending them among thousands of nno- cent stockholders, and confdng creditors In these days of arristocracy, in crime, when he who swndles and robs upon grand scale, reckons his gains by tens and hundreds of thousands, and on the day Of detection, finds immuntyif not apology in the extent of his connexions and the repuablity of his previous station, when petty rogues, expiate smaller offences by the unrelenting penance of imprisonment, it is sign ofprogrcss that Grand Jury can be found firm enough D go now so far, they have done in bring ing up such high personages to the bar ofjustice II they should not be brought to trial, or being rlea- should be acquitted, it is nevertheless movement among the people, which shews commencement of more new and just opinions m the equal responsln- persons ofall degrees, to the same laws' for ...-l crimes.
 The Philadelphia papers of the 10th instant, con- tain the presenpens Of the Grand Jury wncn @ weLe
 
 read on the I4th, and ordered to be filed. The follow ing extracts:
 A full and siErching enquiry has been instituted and the deliberate opinion of the Grand Jury IS that certain officers connected with the United States Bank have been guilty of gross violation of law, colud'ng together to defaud those Stockholders who had trust ed their all to be preserved by them and that there is good ground to warrant prosecution of all such persons for serious criminal offences, which the Grand Jury do present to the Court, and ask that the Attorney General be directed to send up for the action of Grand Jury bills of indictment against:
 First-Nicholas Riddle, Samuel Jaudon, John Andrews, (and others to jury nnknown) for entering into conspiracy to delraud the stockholders oi the U. s. Bank of the sum sums of $4O0 GOO, in the year 1886 and endeavoring to conceal the same by fraudulent and illegal entry in lS4O.
 To sustain tho above endorse Austin Montgomery, Capt. Henry Mallery Henry Korn as accusers, Moses Kempton, Edward Coles, Jas. $. Newbold, Joshua Lippincott, Jonathan Patterson, Ihos. Taylor, and William Drayton, as witnesses.
 The Grand Jury on their solemnoalhs and aifr- nation, do further ask that bill of indictment be sent to them against,
 Second--Nichola Riddle, Joseph Cowperthwait, Thomas Dunlap, (and others to jury unknown,) for entering into a conspiracy to delraud Sc'' &c', the Stockholders of the United States Bank during the year 1886, '37, SS, ,39 and lSl0, by winch the Stockholders have been derauded out of or sumes ol money exceeding $S00.00
 To sustain this bill, endorse the same accusers as in the first case, and as witnesses Moses kemptoa' Edward Coles, Jas. 5. Newhold, Joshua LiPpncott,
