or this amount, three million three hundred

But this balance, as well as that estimated
to remain in the treasury on the lst July,
1860 will be reduced by such appropriations
as shall be made by law to carry into effect
certain Indian treaties ducing the present
fiscal year, asked by the Secretary Of the In
terror, TO the amount of five hundred and
thirty-nine thousand three hundred and fifty
dollars 1858, 350), and upon the estimates OF
the Postmaster General for the service of his
department the last fiscal year, ending Both
June, 1859, amounting to four millions two
hundred and ninety-six thousand and nine
dollars (S4 ,296, ,0O9), together with the further
estimate of that officer for the service of the
present fiscal year, ending S0th June, 1860,

ten millions three hundred and sixty-one
thousand six hundred and eighty-three dol
lars (Sl0,36l, ,683).
Should these appropriations be made as re-
quested by the proper departments, the bal
anee in the treasury on the 30th June 1861
will not, it is estimated, exceed three million
five hundred and thirty thousand one hun.
dred and ninety-six dollars and sixty-one
cents (S3,580196 6l).
| transmit herewith the reports of the Sec
retaries Of War; of the Navy, of the Interior,
and of the Postmaster General. They each
contain valuable information and important
recommendations well worthy of the serious
consideration Of Congress.
1t will appear from the report of the Secre-
tary of Wor, that the army expenditures have
been materially reduced by a system of rigid
economy, which, in his opinion, offers every
guarantee that the reduction will be perma-
nent The estimates of the Department for
the next year have been reduced nearly two
millions of dollars below the estimates for the
present fiscal year, amp half a million of dol
lars below the omount granted fol this year at
the last session of Congress-
The expenditures Of the Post Office Depart-
ment during the past fiscal year, ending on
the goth June, 1869, exclusive Of payments
: for mail service specially provided for BY Con.
gress out Of the general treasury, amounted
10 l4,964, ,493 49, and its receipts TO ST. $685.
474 Of showing deficiency TO be supplied
from the treasury of $o,096, ,009 26, against
S5,2S5,677 10, for the year ending Both June
1908. The Increased cost Of transportation
, growing out OF the expansion of the service
, required by Congress explains this rapid aug,
Z mentation Of the expenditure. Ii Is crafty.
ing, however, to observe an increase Of re.
ceipts for the year ending on the Both June
1859, equal 10 $4Sl ,69l 81, compared witt
those in the year ending on Both June, 1868
II is estimated that the de6oiency for III,
i eurren fiscal year will be So, 9884 42l O4. bnr
that for the year ending Both June, 1861, Il
will not exceed 81, ,342,473 90, should Con.
gress adopt the measures Of reform proposed
! and urged by the Postmaster General. Sine,
