Saving in the session or 1856 . SII4,I 81
BY the above figures we show that of the
large amount saved by the present govern
ment, $l14,ll9 81 is in the expenses of the
Legislature. A bill passed at the recent
session, making an appropriation for the
State Prison Of $4,000 per month, but the
Board of Commissioners leased the prison
ers at $4,000 per month, and we put down
under the head Of appropriations 100000
for that purpose, as that will be the amount
expended up to Jan. lst, 1857.
A bill also passed at the recent session
appropriating in bonds the sum Of $50 900:
but as that will not be expended probably
this year, and as it is not legitimate ex-
pense Of government, it would be unfair to
place under the head of appropriations
while 1t cost US S256,073 26, under Bigler
from July to January, under the leasing
system, it will cost but $4,000 per annum,
In the cost of State Printing there will
be very large saving, as the State paid
during the year 1855, for this one item.
$l39,405 81; while this year it will not ex,
ceed $4,000. The appropriation for print
ing this year is 100000, and we are nosi-
tive that sum is ample, which will be > ra-
duction in this item of nearly Fifty Thou
sand Dollars.
In conclusion we will say that we think
we have shown to the satisfaction of all mar
ties that there has and will be this year a
saving to the State of at least Three Hun
dred and Fifty-Three Thousand Dollars, and
we have shown how three hundred thousand
OF it has already been saved; and we Law
down our pen, with the consciousness that
we have successfully proven that the late
Legislature and the present State govern
ment were and are reformsts.

REHABILITATION
Less this year than last. IS 353, 1886

y
This is what we call reform, and we have
no doubt but that the actual expenses Of
the year 1856 of the State Government will
be FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS less
than they were in 1855, while the reins Of
State were in the hands Of the Bigler De
mocracy.
We will now show ho,c this immense
amount Of money was saved
In the report Of the Controller, and from
an examination of the Controllers books,
we find the following amounts were expend-
ed for the Legislative session of 1855:
Pay and milage of Lieut.. Governor
and Senators. ........: ::...... S 5G,G3S 20
Pay and mileage of Assenlblymen. 1872 ,935 20
Total. Observation-Disclosures. $I89,573 40
officers and Clerks of Senate. ... 5 56,945 90
i" Assembly. IS ,73I 90
Total Observation-Disclosures. $l25, $40 90
Contingents of Senate and Assembly. 5 59, 200 58
Postage to Post office, special APP
preparation ............... 1892 26
Postage to Wells, Fargo & Co.,
special appropriation. ...... 1917 SO
Total. Observation-Disclosures. $ Ga 80 80
Grand total expenses of the Legis-
lature for the year 1855. $3S0,029 So
It will be seen that we note the sum of
S5,579 65 paid to the Post Office and
Wells, Fargo & Co. for postage. The 9th
er amornts paid for the enormous postage
expenses of the session of 1855 were paid
from the contingent fund, except $5,783,
appropriated this year to Wells, Fargo &
Co. for expressage Of last year, making, in
all, the princely sum of $l7,803 IA paid
Wells, Fargo q Co. in one year.
All postage this year was paid from the
contingent fund. We take from the Con
troller's books the following amounts which
have been paid on account of the Legisla-
tive session Of 1856, and we add to it the
sums to be paid to the Clerks and Sergeant
alarms for services yet to be rendered, and
we guarantee that the amounts will not vary
but a trife with the report that the Con-
troller will make to the next Legislature:

The Figures.

From a very lengthy article in the State
Tribune we give the following recapitula-
tion Of the relative expenses of the State
Government this year and last, from which
it will be seen that there has been saved to
the State this year in Legislative expenses
alone the sum of $I14,I19.61, and in all,
the large sum of Three Hundred and Fifty
three Thousand Dollars. We have no room
for comment this week--none is needed.
