There good things in Mfr GaIaiins last panic
pamphlet For example, speaking Of the constitutional
treasury system, he says:
81 wish that it may have fair play; for am clearly OF
opinion that 1t is equally necessary government for the
public at large. and for the banks themselves that they
should never be permitted the public moneys for the
purpose OF increasing their discounts"
This is what might have been expected from OF
Mr.. Gaatins talents and experience in banking and
finance And there many other truths in his pamph
let-tuths the abstract importance of which would
be the last TO invadate though might not be willing
to admit the correctness of of his applications Of
them
For the present, we shall confne ourselves 10
animation of Mr. Gaatns views of the expenses of the
war, and of the ability OF the people and the government
TO sustain the burden
In doing this, we shall not think necessary go
through Mr. Gallatn's details He was, he con-
fesses, working, in great measure in the dark for he
had not the tables that accompanied the last reports OF the
Secretaries and if he had had Them he must have sup
piled much by conjecture. Suffice it TO say, that he est-
mates the total amount expended during the fiscal year
ending June 30th, 1877, for the army proper" at
S35, 2l9,2si And to this he adds the following re-
marks:
"Although the whole amount which shall be found to
have been expended has been destroyed by the
the whole the result of the Mexican Ii
pears by former official that the expenses OF the
army proper amounted, during the fiscal year ending June
3Oh 1885, 49, 1856 900, and during the year ending June
30h, 1876 SO 81, 900. There is therefore, annual
OF about three millions and half, which, though
king part the army expenditure cannot be justly charged
to the war with Mexico"
Thus Mr.. Gallatn makes the expenses of the war
with Mexico during the fiscal year ending June 3oth,
IL.
instead of taking the expenditures for single branch Of
military service for year or two preceding the war,
much airer way would be to take oil the expenditures
on military account for series of years, and then
pare them with the expenditures the account
during years of war; That our readers may be able to
do this for themselves, present them with the follow
ing table, in which nothing is left to conecure-a the
items having been derived from official documents:

MARYLAND PoLIrIos.-Washingon Bonfant. esq,
member of the house of delegates from Montgomery
county, (says the Baltimore Cpper in letter TO the Pat
riot in relation to the statement that majority of the
members of the Legislature are favorable to Cen Tay-
lor, says
4" Now, sir consider il due candor and frankness
to give fat contradiction this statement OF your
respondent, and that large majority OF the wing
members of the legislature of Maryland not only
unfvomble to Mr. Clay but decidedly in favor Of him
as the wing candidate the presidency. And will
venture predict that but short time will eapse before
he will be the choice OF the whole wing delegation the
most available candidate, he certainly is their frs,
choice"

Mr. Underwood, of Kentucky, addressed the Senate of
The United States to-day in opposition to the war; and to its
further active prosecution. He concluded by advising
the Senate retace thar stepsto withdraw our troops
from Mexico He declared that the war was at an end
that had conquered the country; and that we might
dictate the terms of peace whenever we pleased. These
poposons so inconsistent with themselves, were grave
yueed this day to the Senate OF the United States II we
dictate terms of peace 10 Mexico whenever we please,
why has not been hitherto done Why has this obsti-
nate people declined such terms have regarded fair
and honorable Is it the best way to bring them to those
TERMS to retrace steps and withdraw our troops
Are not these the very to excite the hopes of the
enemy Can we force peace by surrendering their CAPT
tai and their castle before we have obtained peace
here any other way to conquer peace, than by more
vigorously prosecuting the war-overrunnng more OF
their CONTEMPLATING all their exertions, and making
them feel more distinctly the calamities of war

EXPENDITURES.

1t will be found on examining this table, that the ex
pense of our military and naval establishment for thir
teen years and ha-from January 1, 1888, to July,
lsi6-averaged $l9,l6S,434 year. Deduct this from
the expenditures military and naval account during
the fiscal year ending June 3oth, ls47, and it will be
found that the cost of the was between 81 and 2s
millions, instead of between 80 and 80 millions, stated
by Mr.. Galatin
Perhaps il may be urged that Mr. Gallatn was es
mating the amount consumed, actually destroyed,
rather than the amount expended In reply to this it is
sufficient say that the amount thus consumed must be
matter of conjecture. We know not what may be the
value of the war material we shall have hand at the
close of the war The only fair way of calculating the
cost of the war; especially when regarded with reference to
the ability of the government and the people to sustain it,
is by comparing the expenditures military and naval
account during the years of war; with the expenditures
on the same account during years OF peace.
Perhaps it will be urged that of the years
baced in our table were not years of peace They
years of Indian hostes, we admit; but years of Indian
hostility are of frequent recurrence in our history And
in several of these years, the expenditures on military
and naval account only from nineteen to twenty
one millions less than they during the fiscal year
ending June 80, ls47.
The like remarks apply TO Mr. Gallatn's estimates in
regard to the war expenses of 1s4s and 1s49. He
working in the dark respecting them, and attempting
estimate what is not susceptible of exact estimate
We have shown, by official documents, that the ex-
penses of the military and naval establishment for the
only year OF the for which the accounts have been
made up exceed the expenses similar accounts during
the average of the thirteen preceding years only about
twenty Millions the expenses of the year 1897
only about nineteen millions. Can be, that any man will
affirm that such country and such government that
of the United States cannot sustain such a burden as
this Divide it among the people composing nation,
and amounts less than dollar and the third of
dollar for each person
We have not time to continue the subject to-day, but
intend to resume it-perhaps tomorrow

The wings of 1915 are pursuing nearly the same game
as was pursued by the federasts of 1872 in opposing

most exorbiant terms. Just so is the clamorous oppo-

according to law that we have heard. Scarcely week
which the publishers of our city not called

others and we understand that it is the with all

[Nep York True SIM
We have been severe sufferers ourselves Not
week passes but we are notified that enclosures
wore made TO us, but which never came to hand.
MANY other letters have been received informing us
that enclosures were made in them by the WRITER'S but
the amount had been distracted before they reached us
In many cases the amounts have ranged from $40 to 25
This is very operation to submit to, as IN all
cases we are bound to make good the amount sent us
by our subscribers through the mail. We do not see
why the government should not become responsible for
any amount transmitted through their mails, after it has
been deposited IN the hands of Of their agents or
postnasters Conveyances instituted by individual en-
terprise would be held responsible in such cases. yet the
government monopozes and restricts the carrying OF
letters through their agents. and If one OF
those agents, with every facility possible to purloin
see proper abstract from the mails the
only sufferers are the persons compelled by the govern
men 10 intrust it to their care and protection. II.
