SUPERFLUOUS REFORM.

| Army appropriation being under considera-
| ton the other day, Mr.. Marshall, of Kentucky
moved amendment providing that any officer Of
the army who as disbursiug agent shall hereafter un
dertake to engage the public credit in advance OF
the appropriation made by Congress shall upon con-
viction before a court-martial, be dismissed from
the service unless he can exhibit an order in writing
from his superior officer, approved by the Presi-
dent of the United States 1E
| Mr. Marshall has been anticipated by the War
Department in the following long standing regula-
tons
e Paragraph go Army Regulations Disturbing of
fcers when they have the money, shall pay cash. and
open account Heads of bureaus shall take
by timely remttances to obvae the necessity Of any pur
chases credit
Paragraph 94s No contract shall be made except
under law authorizing it, an Appropriation adequate
to its fulment except contracts by the Secretary of
War for the subsistence clothing Of the army the
Quartormaster' department. y.
The above regulations seem to have anticipated
Mr.. Marshall's amendment by several years. Does
Mr. Marshall mean Gin advance of the appropria-
ton" before the appropriation is made or by adj
vance does he mean Gin excess" of the appropri-
ationY
Now, we would inform him that, whenever any
purchases made in of the appropriation by
any dsbursing officer the account is always dsal-
lowed. If the purchases made before the appro-
pration is made the account is also disallowed for
rant of an appropriation But Mr.. MARSHALL amend
ment seems really to be for the purpose of punish
ing the officer unless he can exhibit an order in
writing from his superior officer, approved by the
President Of the United States.

THE ADMINISTRATIONS IN CALIFORNIA.

II appears there is mistake as to the support
which the measures of Mr. Buchanan have received
in California. That State has stood by the Kansas
policy of the President from first to last The over
land mail brings the joint resolutions of the egisa
ture of that State requesting Mr. Broderick to re-
sign because he did not obey the will of the people
expressed through their Legislature instructng him
to vote for the admission of Kansas under the Lee
compton constitution. These resolutions passed the
senate Of California by vote Of more than two to
one, and it is said they viii pass Tile popular branch
by still more decided majority. 10
We extract from the proceedings of the senate Of
California on the 2Ist ult.:,
Mr. Holden offered tho following
Whereas tho ninth session of the legislature of tho
State Of California passed resolutions nstructing
ators in Congress support the policy of the national
administration in regard to the admission Of Kansas

State-not only disrcgarded said Instructions but indi
rectly charged that the members of the said ninth session
of the legislature bad isrepresented the wishes of their
constituents and whereas the people of this State at
the last election triumphantly sustained the action of
the members Of said ninth session of the legislature
