Here are Millions of Dollars voted away with
little or no debate-AIillions which the House had
deliberately refused to grant-for purposes of no
general necessity nor utility. The Washington
Aqueduct takes several Millions out of the Treasury
of the Nation to enrich the owners Of real estate 10
the Federal Metropolis, fcrwhose benefit the Amer
lean People are further taxed to improve their
principal streets and mend one Of their bridges.
One Million or SO more to be put inte that Ma
tional sinking furd, the Capitol Extension; asd
some Hundreds of Thousands fJlOw the Millions
already expended on those foolshly extravagant
CUSTOM Houses which have been for several years
in progress at Charleston and New Orleans. In
oIder to secure all these unjust and wasteu dis
butsements, the Senate gracousy consents to
excuse the House from appropratpg S47 900 more
for Tree planting &c, in Washington Gtems, per-

is put through with little effective resistance while
every dollar s gtudged and hardly one appropriated
to River and Harbor improvements, or to anything
else calculated to benefit the People. Ga the back
of this comes another begging Message from the
President, calling for funds more funds Congress-
must not adjourn without repenishing the Treas
ury by another loau, though the Mormon War
bubble has exploded and the british Outrage
fzzle has become contemptibly threadbsre and ri
diculous. Congress is virtually commanded not to

time to scrutDize ito bills and veto them il deemed
advisable. Meantime the House can busy itself in
passing that little bill for Fifteen Million Loan,
which, as the Secretary of the Treasury initiated
and the President has demanded it, it is safe TO
presume the latter will not veto aud cannot require
much time to consider.
IL does seem to Us that since less than six months
viii tran'pre before the reassembliDg Of Congress,
the Government ought to be able to get on through
that period without this third loan at the present
Session; yet we would not have Congress even seem
to be grudging or nggardy. 1t is rather ve1atious,
however to realize that the Opposition cannot vote
against the lavish appropriations demanded by the
Departments and reported by the Democratic Com
nittees without being accused of factiously OBJ
structiug the wheels of Government, while, if Re.
publicans vote for those Appropriations, they are
