M-COMMITTEE ON EXPEN
DITURES

The morning hour in the House is still de-
voted to the consideration Of the report made
by the Committee on Expenditures, and the
items of rerenchment proposed are slowly dis
posed Of When all will be acted on is uncer-
tain, and the period is probably remote when
the examination of them will he brought to a
close. From the mode of action adopted by
the Committee we conceive the establishment
of system Of reform utterly hopeless. The
progress is so slow and the movement so tedious,
that the House will become wearied of the sub
ject, and probably abandon the investigation of
it altogether, even before the reform contem-
plated in the Capitol is completed.
The plan pursued is, in our opinion, alto
nation of petty details, we would substitute gene
raj principle of reform, and arrange the offices
and salaries according 1T. And we would again
suggest the propriety of graduating the COM
pensaton according to the duties and response
bilities imposed. And we would expect COM
mitee jealous in the cause of thorough reform,
not to contract their views to the limits of the
Capitol but in fixing the number of officers and
graduating the salaries, to extend their observa-
ton TO the Departments and other branches of
the Government, and let the same rule be OBJ
served in determining the compensation in all.
