TEu n-TwpR1Ty REPORT.

The minority of the Committee on Public
Expenditures, have submitted to the House OF
Representatives, document which is obviously
peither more nor less than an amended report of
the Secretary of the Treasury, in which some OF
the mistakes of his first report accounted for
and few errors into which majority of the
Committee seem 70 have fallen, are pointed out
A number of gross blunders, however, remain to
be accounted for by His Excellency, Secretary
Walker, and accordingly abored argument is
entered into to prove that the Clerks, and not
the Secretary, should bear the blame. Ofcourse
the poor Clerks must shoulder the responsibility
for do they not bold their offices by the fraiI ten
ure ofthe "wiE and pleasure of Secretary Wal

of Bluff King Hall, the "moral suasion" priuci-
pie not having been introduced into the prima-

outward youth was considered indispensable to
the development Of the young idea. Now the
King was anxious that the heir apparent should

ylded with the most competent teachers the realm
