APPROPRIATIONS BY CONGRESS-.

Already do hear the administration charged with tho
responsibility Of the appropriations made by the last
sion of Congress- to carry the government fulfil
tain treaties with foreign powers and to supply the in
crossing and diversified interests growing up in
and expanding territories. Doubtless among these emG
of expenditure will be found the millions paid for the
advantages secured under the Mexican
which former administrations anxious to

protect againsta of future expenditures defeat tho
recent probabilities with Mexico and open great
highway for the of the world between two seas

these expenditures are presume the comparatively small
