So much for the Thirty-fourth Congress, whchwas
controlled in the House of Representatives by the
black republicans, and who consequently respon-
sble for the appropriations; for through the
committees of the House these things are mainly
effected We have seen that they compelled an ex-
ecutiye (democratic) to expend upwards of eleven
millions of dollars in two years, which was not asked
for and consequently not wanted in carrying the
government The charge of extravaganza from such
men is unparalleled efrontery.
We now come to the estimates aud appropriations
of the LIST session of the Thirtyfh Congress- which
adjourned in June last In order that the public
may understand and appreciate the responsibility of
the executive department of the government in re-
lation to this matter of estimates we have divided
them into three classes. LIST. Those amounts that
are fixed by law, such as pay and mileage of mem
bers of Congress, salaries of the civil officers of the
government pay, subsistence, and clothing of the
army and navy, &C., &C.; 3D. contingencies and, ,
3d. necessary requirements, principally under law,
which are increased or diminished according to the
exigencies of the service. The amount of the annual
estimates sent to Congress at the beginning Of the
last session $50320,2ss 60, which was increased
by Congress-, independently of executive recommends
tion-a very triaing amount compared with the SINH
lar increase of the preceding black-republican Con-
gress but below we give the items, that every one
may Judge for himself The question naturally arises
why this difference? The answer may be found in
the fact that the Congress controlled by the
opposition the other by the democracy, and the adj
ditional fact that the Executive had taken the most
decided stand indicated in the annual message of
Mr.. Buchanan, as well messages sent to Congress
towards the close of the session. that he would sane
ton no bill that he could not have time to examine
thoroughly, nor would agree to any appropriation
other than was essential to the public service. We
hesitate not in giving it opinion that the poll
cy of Mr. Buchanan, enunciated in his annual mes
sage will be of immense influence in the future ac-
ton Of Congress- this subject and we trust has in
augurated new state of things with that body in
causing it to scrutinize more closely the appropria
tons which are annually made:

THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURES.

So much has been said Of late relative to the pub
lie expenditures that we have, at much trouble and
investigation collected all tho facts bearing upon the
question, in order that the public may have just APP
probation of those misststements and msrepresent
tons which partisan presses and desperate poIti-
clans have found it SO easy to make and publish
Our information and facts derived directly from
the Treasury Department, aud their accuracy may
be relied upon with implicit confidence. Before ell
terng into any particular defence of the democratic
party by the exhibition of facts, we shall be sustain
ed in the general assertion that their principles and
policy necessarily lead to economy in the expend
ture of the public money while those of their oppo-
nents essentially Conduct TO extravagance For
instance, the democratic party have labored since
1882 TO reduce the taxation while their opponents
have assduously resisted their efforts claiming that
the more yon collected the you would have to
spend The old wing party, the black-republicar,
and the American parties of the present day, made
and make the basis Of their opposition to democratic
policy the reduction Of the revenue to such standard
as to embarrass the government They the democratic
party are often tainted by their opponents without
rejecting upon the revusion through which we have
ana are passing, with the nadequaoy of the revenue
under their policy and demand an increase of taxa
lion to enable the democrats to be still more extray
agant. II the democracy are justly chargeablc
with extravagant expenditures they should Join their
opponents in the advocacy Of those measures that
will give them the means to be extravagant and
wasteful upon partisan favoritcs. AS long as they
are true to the principle that only sufficient reve-
nue. should be raised to administer the govern
inent upon economical basis, the country is III
no danger from burdens growing out OF the work
lngs Of their federal system. BUTT is not our inten
ton at thus time to discuss these questions, and we
therefore come directly to the facts we desire to pre-
sent.
As will be remembered the 34th Congress was
partly in the hands of the opposition, and they in
great measure controlled the appropriations Of that
Congress. We place below statements showing how
lar the Executive government, which is democratic
Is responsible, aud how far Congress transcribed the

An examination Of those estimates for which the
administration is responsible exhibits the fact that
the government would, if confined to them. be con-
Quoted upon basis of the strctest economy.
The increase of expenditure, about which 80
much has been said, is limited to three sources.
1st, the expenses of the army 3D. the increase of
the navy; and 3D., the expense of the Post Office
Department. word upon each of these points :
The increased expense of the army was occasioned,
every one knows, by the Utah war and our Indian
troubles. Not only the deficiency provided for
at the late session created in this war, but the in
in the regular annual estimates was required
to meet these contingencies. Let those complain of
these expenditures who condemn the energetic
policy of the President in restoring peace law and

frontier citizens against tho ravages Of hostile In
