The Cash system.

After fall reflection. the Publishers OF this paper
have become converts to the Cash Systsm The NEST
powerful argument which has urged them to this
position is found in their account books, wherein is
recorded debt due them of over szy thOt,aad DOL
lars, accumulated since the 10Th Of May, 1858, and
for subscriptions aloae Of more than forty thousand
dollars Here is suspended debt for subscriptions
averaging near eight thousand dollars per year. 1t
viii probably eventually net Us not much more than
halfits aggregate amount The loss isnot, however,
wholly ours. a portion of il is made up by tax
on our punctual subscribers as unjust to them as
the loss of the remaining portion is to us. The
remedy for this evil both to ourselves and our pune
tual subscribers, is in the cash system. Adopting
this system as we do from this day we shall be able
to afford our weekly paper at reduced rate. Our
plan is this On the 18th day Of May next, nc shall
erase from subscription ISIS every name not in
advance. From this date we shall enter no new
name on our books unless the money accompanies
the order. From this day we shall theoretically en-
deavor to collect the money due US on old accounts
and make no new ones. Our weekly paper will be
two dollars per year. Those who have already paid
in advance beyond the 15ta of May, 1859, will be
allowed the benefit of this reduction from that date

CONCLUDED.
We now come TO the estimates and appropriations
Of tbc LIST session of the Thirty fifth Congress,
which adjourned in June last In order that The pub
lie may understand and appreciate the responsibility
Of the executive department of the government in
relation 10 is matter of estimates we have divided
them into three classes LIST. Those amounts that
are fixed by laws, such pay and mileage of mem
bers Of Cons ress salaries of the civil officers Of the
government, pay, subsistence and clothing of the
army and navy SC, &c I'd, contingencies; and
3d. necessary requirements principally under law
which are increased or diminished according TO the
exgencies of the service, The amount of the an
nual estimates sent to Congress at the beginning
of the last session was $50, $40 288 g. which was
increased by Congress. Independently Of executive
recommendation-sv very rifing amount compared
with the similar increase of the preceding black
republican Congress; but below we give the ems
that every one may judge for himself The ques-
ton naturally arises why this difference? The an
sWer may be found in the fact that the one Con-
gress was controlled by the opposition, the other
by the democracy and the additional fact that the
executive had taken the most decided stand, as
indicated in the annual message of Mr.. Buchanan
as well as messages sent to Congress towards the
close Of the session, that he would sanction 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 policy Of Mr.
Buchanan, as enuncisted in his annual message,
will be Of immense influence in the future action
of Congress en- this subject, and We trust has in
srgursted new state of things with that body, in
causing ii to scrutinizing more closely the sppro-
pristi0ns which annually made.

It will therefore be that the present Secreta-
ry of the Treasury determined TO take the average
expendsntiture of the last six years the basis of
his estimate, although the previous Congress had
greatly increased the causes of expenditure, in
building new custom houses, creating new coec>
ton districts and adding more vessels, including
steamer, to the revenue service, all of which must
necessarily enhance the expenses Of collecting the
revenue. The figures and facts, show, therefore,
the falsity of this attempt TO charge the present
Secretary of the Treasury with extravaganza in the
expenditure under this branch of the public service
The fees aud percentages heretofore paid in the
collection of the revenue go into the treasury,
and the officers Of paid in salaries spe-
officially fixed by law, Every man will see this sys-
tenn puts the country in possession Of the knowledge
of eIactly what is paid to ofhcers-s much more
wholesome and safe system of economy than that of
compensation by fees.
