that in the ensuing excitement it would have

In the House July ~. Stevens from Com
mittee or Ways and Means reported bill OF
additional appropriations for Legislative, Ex-
ecutive and Judicial expenses for the year
ending June, 1862, and an average of year
ending June last; also bill making appro-
priations for civil expenses of Government for
same period.
On motion of Mr.. Stevens, the House went
into Committee of the Whole on the Army
ILL. Stevens said the Committee on Ways
and Means hoped to complete their business
90 that the House might adjourn on July lS
They were disposed in these wGr times to
give everything to the Government, trusting
that before halfa year passed away, peace
may be restored. The Importance of having
disciplined troops was so obvious as not to
require argument If the army should be
too large when the rebellion was suppressed
it could be easily reduced. The bill propos-
ed war standing.
Mr.. Vallandinghata believed that the ac-
ton of the President in increasing the army
was unconstitutional. He regretted TO hear
that the committee on Ways and Means had
merely carried out the recommendation OF
the Executive. lnasmuch as it appears that
the war is to be waged. he asked that the
majority of the House and Senate will take
care of it, in order that it might be conduc-
ted under constitutional restriction. 1t was
known that he had no confidence in the Re =
publican party, but he had rather trust the
majority there than the Administration.
Mr. Burnett said he had net had an opnor-
tunity to examine the bill, ana was opposed
TO the way it was rushed through, and would
vote against it.
Mr., Lovejoy would not vote, as the bill
proposed to increase the Standing army to
more than double what it now is. lie would
give 100000 men and 100000, 600 and his
constituents would give their last drop of
blood, for the suppression of tbe rebellion,
but they did not desire to increase the regu-
Lar army.
Mr.. McClernand briefly advocated the in
crease of the army, saying it had been too
small for the last fifteen or twenty years.
