The DeficlsncY Hill

This BILL which has been so long debated, has at length
been passed. The able chairman OF the Committee OF
Ways and Means (Mr. Houston) has succeeded in re-
moving the doubt which existed in many minds Of the
necessity for the items composing this defcency-akng
care however, to fix the responsibility where il ought TO
be for the evils attending practice OF anticipating APP
popatons to supply deficiencies arising from the neces
silica OF the service We trust that the scrutiny which
has been employed in this will operate useful
example hereafter and that the executive branch of the
government will not again furnish precedent much

limits expenditures by the appropriations made according

joined report which determines the question in favor of
