SssArE.-Mr. Carlisle presented petit
too nuneroo.ly sigued BY cisszeos Of Boz
ton asking Congress TO leave the negro
question alone ssd attend to the business OF
the country.
The bill 70 de6oe the pay and emolumens
OF the sfisers Of the army vas taken mp.
Mr.. Shernaa said the bill did not mset
the diGisal,y. One year ago ws we're phys
ieally usak. With no public debt. Now 70
are physically strong, but pecuniarily weak.
The whole amouns Of expenses for the next
year will probably not be less than 6ve
hundred and City million dollars. This is
greater expense than was ever borne BY any
nation. The highest expenditure Of Great
Britain was never Eve hundred millions a
year not even 10 the war with Napoleon.
Mr.. Sherman here quoted from the London
Prcs., the great organ which said that this
Government va, fast approaching national
bankruptcy. Ia his judgment, three prop
osisiops should considered: Frat, the
prompt lew af Q tax Of not less than one
hundred and 6fsy million dollars. Second,
a careful revision Of the laws regulating
salaries and compensaiions. Third, rigid
scrutiny into the disbursement OF oil public
funds, and prompt punishment Of every OH
eer takiu. M oney Or allowing others TO take
i, for property without bspehting the Gov
eminent.

and announced that be would not accept his
commission Is Brigadier General, and that

Uun.er-between whom and himself there
is no practical difference in sentiment with
regard to the relations Of slavery and the
var. g
The report that Gen. Scott Is going to Kay
West is erroneous. He did intend to 60 for
