The expenditures of the Post Office
Department during the past fiscal year,
ending on the 30th June, 1859, exclu-
sive Of payments for mail service
specially provided for by Congress out
Of the general treasury, amounted to
Si4,964, 493 80, and tits receipts TO
81, 968,4e OF, showing deficiency
to be supplied from the treasury OF
sc, 1896 900 GO. against S5.235,677 10
for the year ending 3oth June, 1853.
The increased cost of transportation
growing out the expansion of the SER
vice required by Congress, explains
this rapid augmentation Of the expen'
ditures. Il IS gratifying, however, to
observe an increase OF receipts for the
year ending on the 30th June, 1859,
equal TO S48l ,69l 81, compared with
those in the your ending on 3oth June,
1859.
| IL is estimated that the deficiency
for the current fiscal year will be So
1884 OF, but that, for the year en-
ding 30th June. 1861. it will not ex
coed q ,342,473 80, should Congress
adopt the measures Of reform proposed
and urged by the Postmaster General
Since the month of March retrench
ments have been made in the expendi
lures, amounting to 3 1864 annua
ly, which, however, did not take efiec
until after the commencement OF thu
present fiscal year. The period seem
. TO have arrived for determining th,
question whether this Department
shall become permanent and ever-in
creasing charge upon the Treasury, o
/ shall be permitted to resume the self
: sustaing policy WHICH had so lonl
controlled its administration. Tn
! course of Legislation recommended b
4 the Postmaster General for the relic
i of the Dempartment from its presen
) embarrassments, and for restoring it I
: its original independence. is deservin
!. of your early and earnest considers

In conclusion, | would again CON
/ mend to the just libeaality of Coz
u gress the local interests ofthe Distrit
:, Of Columbia. Surely the city bearin
q the name of Washington, and destined
q trust, for ages TO be the capital of o,
$, united, free and progressive Confede
