6ksvernnsent loan.
The telegraph reports the following heads
of conversation in the Senate, Tuesday, in
relation to the new loan called for by the
Administration. 1t will BIO noticed that the
annual expenditure is estimated at seventy
five millions under this Administration, md
it will be remembered that John Quincy Ad-
AmssWas defeated and condemned by the
Dsnoeratfkparsy on the ground of extrava-
eaneab Wien the annual expenses Of his Ad-
ninistration amounted to but about twelve
milaons. d
~ e. Hunter brought up the $l5, D00N 100
t3Ean4 advocated its passage in the 09poo-
en09o ~ in some months greater activity
= bons would revive and the revenue
even aspresent show surplus, provided it
was only used in the Administration.
Mr.. Wilson replied, showing that Mr.. Hun.
teF'e estimates for the commercial revenue
were exaggerated, and that the actual prob
abilities will mot exceed fifty to ffty-fve
milIions, while the expenditures, being sew.
cusy-fve millions, will leave deficiency FOR
actual outlay Of twenty-five millions, excln.
sive Of over ninety millions of treasury
notes.
| In other words, money must be provided
| to NEE, demands Of one hundred millions
hence, Mr. Wilson supposed another loan in
evitablc before Jaauafynsxt. lie moved 70
strike out the afth session sppointine two
additional clerks, which was carried &c
against 20.
Mr.. Wilson also moved to reduce the esti-
mate Of printing the Treasury notes from
$40 900 TO SIS ,000.-Carried--21 against 81
Mr.. Collamer believed that The revival Of
business would be slow and gradual, AND
that estimates framed on any contrary eup.
position would prove false. The presen,
tariff ought to be fully revised If we mean to
adhere to it, but if we wish to 20 to free
trade and direct taxation let it be done I'M
derstandingly and not by temporary loans
serving as q step in that direction.
Mr.. Hunter disclaimed that the tendency
would be towards such result, and defend.
ed the present tariff as ample for the public
expenditures.
Mr.. Bigler moved to amend the bin foI
making the loan a coupon loan, which wol
agreed to.
! Mr.. Cameron said that coupon bonds
would be more readily taken, and at lower
rate. He therefore moved to reduce the
r nte from TO 5 per cent.-Carried, 80 tc
"a.
Mr.. Stuart moved that proposals. for the
loan be advertised in only one Washington
paper. Lost.
Mr.. Simmons asked whether it would moi
be better to take the loan for s years instead
Of 10.
Mr.. Hunter disagreed to this suggestion,
/ and il was not pressed.
Mr.. Pugh then made a verbal alteration in
Mr.. Bigler's amendment.
Mr.. Simmons introduced a lengthy amend
ment, which was ordered to be printed, witt
reference to the valuation Of imports for du.
ties.
Mr.. Hunter seemed disposed to raise thu
question Of order, but without taking actor
the Senate adjourned.

the Mexican population for appreciating
