WASHINGTON, July "a, 1853.
The appropriations which are annually prepared
under the direction of the Clerk of the House Of
Representatives., BY the act of July a, 1886, IRE
now resIly ready to be issued, and may be obtained
in the beginning OF next week have seen the
pIoofsLeets OF this document, which is headed
"XXXyth Congress, First Session. House Of Re-
presentstiyes-M Mis-. Doc, No. 1877" and while
the recapitulaton of the appropriations made for
each Department is not yet complete, the general
aggregate i. ascertaoed and the figures for specific
objects foot up the nice little sum of ISL, ga go 4O
This aggregate is exclusive Of the appropriations
which are called indefinite" and are mainly COM
prised Of claims, extra allowances, new pensions
and the like, and also exclusive OF the permanent
appropriations such as interest on the puoc deot
which is provided for when the acts authorizing
loans or notes are passed. 1t is difficult t. form
apy exact estimate Of these two classes OF items;
but they are assumed in Mr.. Letcher's speech and
in The Union, which caims to have received the
facts from the Treasury Department, at $3,56o,-
B35 S. These are tie lowest figures which nave
fallen under my observation, and believe them to
be far short of the truth and Tor few very Piaip
reasOns, which shall be stated.
The public debt prior to the increase made Dec
23 aud June Ia, was in round numbers 80 ooooVV'
The interest upon which at per cent Wouiu DC
$500 Q00. The other $40 900 OOO may Dc rdteo
nj Z per cent. though the Treasury Notes are
fraction below that interest. This would add ST.
200 eco more to the interest account making So
ZOO 600 additional from that source only. There 10
an act extending the 'act to continue halt pay TO
scertain widows and orphans which, II Is sup
posed. will deplete the treasury nearly mliioh'
thoueh If may be lees. These appropriations have
sIways had knack Of increasing rather than dnln-
ishinr. Then there is the whole body OF pirate
claims referred to the various Departments to be
settled on principles of Justice and equity" and
some OF which have already been paid. There are
several cases before Inc exceeding SoV,OUO each'
They aud other incdeusls may be fairly stated at
81 600, 600. So, then upon this rough Slsw OF the
account for the fiscal year which we have aready
entered, the appropriations would stand as follows:

To this might be properly added the balance of
existing appropriations applicable TO the present
year which the Secretary of the Treasury, In MS
snnusl report. stated to be $40, $50 3d. OF
course. the Administration would be entitled to
credit tor such corresponding balance as may De
carried INTO the next These are ofhciai Iacts
and the On'y ones which have been presented u tne
pubic in this connect on; and it Will be seen that
the appropriations taking thevery lowest hgare are
500, 0GO, 900 more than The Union and It's conied,
crates have represented them to be. But L shall
defer moIe extended comment on this important
subject until the document can be analysed win
stricter scrutiny. The results are only intended TO
be gwen generally. The details cover 40 pages OF
an ordnSTy Congressional document.
Tie last quarter Of the fiscal year, which expired
On Jure 80, has not yet been officially reported
from the Registers Oifi,e, and will be held back
until the lsst moment, TO get the returns from Inc
Pacific. But we know precisely what the receipts
and ex Lditures OF The previous nine months were;
ard rating tie fourth quarter at the average OF the
second aud third, the aggregate may be fairly
Appropriated. Here is statement which gives the
material facts

II vii be seen by the foregoing exhibit that the
last Qulic1s Expenditures, which were the heaviest
for the U'ah war, have been stated al the sum OF
tie preceding quarter. This aggregate for last
year exclusive Of the Sll 0OO,0 900 OF deficiencies
which had TO be- provided in the appropriations Tor
the present year. Altogether, these figures are
quite refreshing to contemplate, considering what
effect they uul produce on the public mind, when
careful, suoled, as they deserve 20 be. The fol-
