The DEFICIENCY BILL represents the
amount that the Administration has expend-
ed without the authority of law The con-
sltutlon does not permit any money to be
paid out of the treasury except in conse.
quence Of appropriations made by law. This
provision is practically nulhhed BY the prac-
uce + the administration in contracting debts
and then demanding appropriations to pay
them. These appropriations, clearly uncon-
sututiQnal IN their spirit, are generally resist
ed, although not often with so much 6rmness
as in the case of the bill that has Just passed
the House; bat they are always carried
through, on the ground that the faith of the
government has been pledged, that the arti-
Giles have been received aud the services rem
deIed, for which the appropriations are de-
manded, and that TO refuse payment would
be reputation. 1t is difficult to resist this
argument; yet the practice that has grown
up, amounts to placing the treasury entirely
within the control of the President. He con.
tracts debs at his pleasure, and Congress
pays them; he makes, by his sole authority,
expenditures that Congress would not assent
to, and then the public faith is pledged and
the debts must be discharged. 1t is time that
stop vas put to this. When the unauthor-
lied expenditures of this character swell to
eight millions Of dollars for such purposes,
and in such manner, and to such persons as
the President chooses, it is quite time that
Congress should declare that, III future, IT
will not authorize so monstrous an invasion
of its constitutional powers, that it will not
hold the Executive harmless for assuming
over the treasury the control which the con-
stitution has confined to the legislative de-
partment.-B0Ston Journal.

The appointment Of the Duchess of Manches.
ter by Queen Victoria, to the situation of mis-
tress Of the Robes" has caused great agitation
among the arstocratic petticoats of England.
Two Duchesses have already resigned their Of

London Advertiser says that other similar resig-
nations will follow, in consequence of the extreme
unpopularity of the appointment in question
among the female atistocracy Of England.

The LEGAL LIABILITIES AND DIsABIL1TIEs
OF WOMEN.-We have more than once said
that it was good deal easier to laugh down
the friends Of what are called "Women's
Rights than to argue them down. Some.
thing, whether education, or instinct, or pre-
JUDGE, or precedent. tells us that women
have nothing to do with politics or public
affairs, but, when anybody asks whyIa woman
who pays taxes should not have the same
right 10 voice upon their expenditure that
the loafer has who saws her wood and runs of
her errands, the inquirer must look beyond
us for the answer. And when we are pointed,
for Illustration, to the women who as sover-
eigns in their own right. or as regents for their
minor children, have governed kingdoms
well and wisely, when we are referred to the
women who have distinguished themselves in
the various departments of active life, and are
asked why they should not have voice in
the choice of their rulers, and in the enact
ment OF the laws which affect all their rights
and liberties, we are not able to answer,
James 7. Brady has lately delivered a lee.
ture upon this subject in New York, and, al.
though he did not go to the length of advo-
eating the extension of the right of suffrage to
women, he strongly and eloquently favored
their admission to other rights of citizenship
In one aspect OF this women's right question
there should be but one opinion. Every one
must agree in the importance of enla.ging
the sphere of woman's industry, in opening
to her new employments, and making her less
dependent upon the restricted syocatons to
which she is now confined. There are many
kinds of industry from which women are shut
out, and to which they are as we'll adapted as
men; to some, they are better adapted. To
break down The absurd barriers which prevent
them from earning an honorable livelihood in
any department of human effort. in which
they are calculated to succeed, is to render an
important service to the community roUi-
