they were subdued. Thirty buildings

ministration that the country has ever bad.
But Notwithstanding the labor and atten-

attention to in proof of what we charged.
We now inyive bis attention to them again,

wolves upon him to prove il. What does
our legal friend say to the propositiOn!-
But to the figures:
First, the Administration has been in
power sixteen months. Second, Il found
$50, ,oO0, 900 in the Treasury when it went
into power. Third, it has collected, since
then, a revenue in hard cash of $4,000,
900. Fourth, it has issued $2O,0O0,0o0
in Treasury notes. Fifth, it is authorized
to contract new loan Of 500, ,O00,0 ,0o0.-

by actual completion or failure, which will
depend on what good or i'll luck fortune
