CUsTOMHOUSES- APPRoPRIA-
ZION SYSTEM.

The Congressional proceedings on the
passage of the appropriation bills are Of
interest to the taxpayers Of the country
On the final reading in both Houses, it is
customary to subject the bill as reported
from the committees to the ordeal Of
amendment, and this year, it did not es-
cape it. Indeed, it appears that, not
withstanding the embarrassments Of the
Treasury, and the enormous public debt
weighing upon the resources Of the peo~
pie, there has been more than the usual
disposition to drain the national till for
mere local objects We observe that
some ofthe neutrality-suspicious. propositions
were rejected, but yet many were adopted
that will cause useless expenditures, and
still further foster the extravaganza and
corruption, that is making the public
service a%byword and reproach f-
As matter of course, the bulk of these
appropriations are for the benefit of the
Northern, Eastern and Northwestern
sections Of the cOuntry-those represent
ed in Congress. But the funds to defray
the debt incurred for the erection OF gov
eminent buildings in cities offfth-rate i'm
pOrtance are to be collected from the whole
people There is an injustice in this par
* | l;-tr;I, of hon of,t, ard nan ra1 nm
position Of burdens. that needs only to be
mentioned to be appreciated; and while the
people are being ground with taxes to
meet the interest on the public debt, and
the interests of the country are suffering
from an inflated and unstable currency,
it is ruinous wastefulness to expend the
public money in the lavish style now
being practiced. .......
There are appropriations now on the
books of the United States treasury
which are withheld from the objects for
which they were made, on account of the
embarrassed condition of the finances,
and until they are applied it would seem
to be just, as well as economic, to curtail
appropriations Nearly ten years ago an
appropriation was made for Customs
house, Postoflice and United States Court
room in this city, and yet when the sub
ject was brought to the attention of the
Secretary of the, Treasury few weeks
since, and petition for the commence
ment of the work presented, it was an
swered that it was impossible to begin
such work at the present time. We hope
our members Of Congress will continue
to press this matter, however, and insist
that such appropriations shall be filed in
the order they stand upon the treasury
books, without favor or Partially to sec
tions or localities.

THREATENED SUPPRESSION Ol
TIRE PRESS.


A telegram to the Louisville papers Of
yesterday says that the Radicals boldly
asserted on the streets on Thursday that
Brownlow would suppress the Aralanche
on account of its bitterness towards him
and his party. We can scarcely believe
this possible, because the Governor has
conducted himself, fsr she past quarter
of a century, the most hitter and abusive
newspaper that ever existed in Tennessee.
If there is any man in the country who
can tolerate that species Of opposition it
should be the, Governor. Ak
