So the Money Goes.-In the consideration
OF the deficiency bill for some days past, the
House seem to have evinced disposition to
get rid of the public money hand over fist. and
upon the slightest possible prctext in many
instances. The Democratic party having an
overwhelming majority there, may be justly
charged with the extravaganza involved in
such legislation. Indeed, in the whole course
of our experience with Congress, we have
never witnessed greater disposition to vote
any and every thing asked, than in the legisla-
ton in committee on this measure. If this
policy be carried out, we shall Of course hear
no more OF the Democratic stump argument
that the Wings are the party who 60 for giving
everything to every body. As, to repeat it,
with what bids fair to be the record of the
present Congress staring the g Dear People,
in the face, would be downright impudence.
These are plain words. Nevertheless, thew
are true words. There are members of the
House, many, whose experience in. public
affairs will bear out all we here write Our
duty is to tell the Countrywide constituents of
MEMBERSHIP truth, and we shall

Department Of the United States Army -The
following official paper, now published for the
first time to the world, will be found of inter-
est to all officers in the army:
REPORT OF AN ARMY BOARD
WASHINGTON, T. c., December II, 1853
Hon. JEFFERSON DAVIS, Secretary Of War:
SIR The undersi ,ned, constituted by your
instructions of the 90 ultimO, a Board Ito take
into consideration the subject of the relative
rank of certain Officers of the Pay Depart
ment, have the honor to submit the following
report: .-'
At the commencement of the Mexican War
May, 1850 the Pay Department of the Army
consisted of fifteen Paymasters, which number
was increased to eighteen, by the Ist section of
the act Of June H. 1916.
The three PaymaSters thus added, and who
by the terms of the act, were attached to the
Pay department of the Army, were Abram
Van Buren,, Robert II. Hammond, and Robert
A. Forsyth, to date from une 26, June go, and
August :, 1915, respectively. In February.
I847, Paymaster T p. Andres, one of the regu-
lar paynasters. having accepted the appoint
meni Of Colonel Of foltigeurS, his vacancy was
filed by Andrew J. Coffee, then holding the
temporary appointment of Additional Paymas-
ter for the payment Of militia and volunteers,)
who took rank in the Department from Fcbru-
airy %, 1847. The appointment of Additional
Paymaster held by Paymaster Coffee previous
to his being commissioned in the regular Army,
was conferred on him June "A, 1915, under the
18th section of the act of July ), 1898, which
empowered the President, when volunteers or
militia were called into service, and the num-
Der of regular paymasters are not sufficient to
pay them with proper punctuality," to APP
point as many additional paymasters as might
be requisite, not to exceed one for every two
regiments of militia or volunteers, and the per-
sons Sd appointed :. to continue in service only
so long as their services are require to pay
militia and volunteers"
In consequence of the addition of ten regi-
ments to the military establishment, a further
of the Pay Department of the regular
Army became necessary. and by the act of
March B, 1917, section ~, it was augmented
by two Deputy Paymaster Generals and ten
Paymasters but the 22d section of the same
act provided that these twelve officers ''should
he discharged at the end of the war with Mex
ico'' This section was, however, repealed in
respect to the two Deputy Paymaster Generals
hen in commission, by the net of July 1a,
IS48, section 8, the ten paymasters were also |
allowed to be .retained in service until the
It'll day Of. March, 1S49," and Paymaster 7.

What we gained by the MeXI-
can Treaty.

80 II appears that we are asked 10 step upon the
plank that asks ten millions for measure Of only i'm
piled constitutionality Plaindealsr.
This assault proves two things.
l. That the Plaindealer Il. c. those who
control it) is determined to abuse the ad-
ministration. 2. That IT finds it impossi-
BILE to discover even plausible pretext for
such course.
Probably no one achievement Of General
Pierce's Administration will proveof more
solid advantage to the country than the
conclusion of the Mexican treaty.
We ask Democrats to look for a mo-
ment at these advantages. l. The abro-
cation of the llth Article Of the treaty Of
GGadalOrpe Hidalgo, by which we were
bound to guaranty the security of a vast
Mexican frontier, at probable expense Of
Millions annually.
Fillmore offered six millions, and the
MexicaHs demanded twenty millions for the
abrogation Of this very article during the
last administration. 1880
Cd. The right Of way across the Isthmus
of Tehauntepec for which President Polk
offered fifteen millions of dollars.
Sd. The Disputed Mesilla valley, without
which there would have been war, ere this
time, between the Mexicans and our citi-
zens; free passage for rail road to the
Pacific over our territory, which is to be
increased for this purpose by about thirty
millions Of acres. f
These are some Of the solid advantages
this administration has secured to the coan-
try by this treaty and yet we are to be
told in the face of the facts by q profess
edly democratic sheet that "Mr. Pierce
asked congress for ten million dollars to
buy a strip Of land from Mexico"
Let Democrats bear in mind that this
treaty was approved ip the Senate by tsOo
third vote, and the appropriation to carry
1t into effect passed the House Of Repre-
rentatives by vote Of l03 to 50.
So much for one charge Of this new ex-
ponent OF democratic principles, aud oPpo-
nent Of Democratic Administrations.

EFFECT OF CLIMATE ON THE Colon or
MASKISD.-For 1900 years the Jewish
race has been dispersed into different lati-
tudes and climates, and they have preserE-
ed themselves most distinct from any inter.
mixture with the other races Of mankind.
There are some Jews still lingering in the
valleys Of tho JOrdOn, having been oppress
ed by the successive eOnquerors Of Syria
for ages--a low race of people, and a.
black as any of the Ethiopian races. 9th
ers Of the Jewish people, participating in
European civilization, and dwelling in the
Northern nations, show instances Of the
light complexion, the blue eyes, aud light
hair, Of Scandinavian families. We sec,
then, how to account for the differences in
cOlors, without referring them to original
distinction. z 70

SPAIN AND THE UNITED SrArEs.-Accor-
ding TO London letter in the New York
Times, Gen Espartero the head of the
new Spanish Government, has had several
interviews with Mr.. Soule, and has inform
ed him that the Spanish cabinet will do its
best TO settle all matters of difference hav-
ing pecuniary character, and as to ques-
tlons of national honor and dignity, the
United States cannot expect any greater
satisfaction than in the fact that the i'm
peached government, at whose hands Span
ish subjects have also suffered injustice, has
been driven out by a popular rising. As
to Cuba, in particular there is no African
ization in view, but no purchase is likely
the government being confident that, with
an honest and liberal policy towards the
celonists, they will become more useful and
better satisfied dependencies of the mother
country than they have becn hitherto.
