Mr. CuRTlS. Was not the Senate also democratic at
that period?
Alr DAVIS, OF Mississippi take il for granted thcn
il there majority of party here aud of another
in the other branch and a democratic President and
presumption o law u.s. that men are honest until the con-
ary is show Since you have charged dishonesty upon
US whcn you had me power IN Your hands TO show ihnt
dishonesty, why lid you not do It'll Why did you not
give the acts and figures You knew that it could not
be shown, and therefore you did not publish the results
ol your investigation to the world II made any IN
vestisation
Mr. ChairmaD the estimate for the present year is
S52 44l 3l5 a sum less by Sll 600 900 than was ex-
pended by the opposition PARTY when il was in power In
1856 &C. 1t Is true there are estimates Of So 900 900
and S2 600, another purpose These estimates
are not only to supply deficiencies but actually to meet
requirements of laws passed at a former session Then
sir | may safely say that tho amount estimated for
the support of the general government for the present
fiscal year by the Secretary of the Treasury is $50 900
GOO less than that of last wear and nearly 4 900 900
less than lie amount expend y The opposition when it
bad control Of this House make this contrast not for
the purpOs OF caiang dishonesty against the opposon
not for the purpose of ecting upon them but to do
Justice to the party to which belong want 10 show
that the opotion when IL had control Of the affairs Of
the government increased the expenses ralualIy ns W.,
have done when under our control and that therefore
the presumption is there naturu causes this iu-
creased expenditure, and that the expended do
not aofd just for the charge constantly made OF
extravaganza.
Now the gentleman insinuates there 4 exrayaeance
and mplopriety in the War and uarermasets Depart
,nent ask whether in that he makes charge of dis,
honesty against the present Secretary OF War?
