The House resumed the consideration Of the
oonfscation bill
policy which has governed the Administration
since It came into power, oharacteriZing It as IN
sound, unWtse and ruinous. The criminals who
have plundered the treasury have not been
brought tojustice, nor has honesty prevailed in
the Department
History will, on this subject. cause every lover
Of bis country to bow his head while his cheek
burns with shame because Of the eXtravagance
and shamelessness OF expenditures at time
when the nation was struggling for life, by means
year hence will be one-siXth OF the entire
wealth of the country now. The proportion TO
every vote is two hundred dollars. Twelve
months from this time It viii be four hundred
! dollars.
Where was the evidences that any other people
had been so bUrdened within 40 shOrs q time In

that the people would rise 10 their might and
send hither Representatives who viii be governed

the Union will be reesfablB Bhed on the principles

figures as 70 expenditures. ..
Mr.. Kelly was severe upon Mr.. Voorhies, and

Democratic party to rsproach the present sdmnisra-
/ tion with dishonesty and fraud. @
In further reply Mr.. Kelley said, the labor Of
