Cutting Down Exnenses.


The brief but explicit statementwith
which Mr.. Blaine accompanied the
report of the Army Appropriation
bill is in some respects an agreeable
surprise. 1t shows that the Commit
tee on Appropriations has busted
itself wisely and we'll with the expen-
ditures of the Government, and has
provided for immediate and large re-
auctions. OF these the most notable
occurs in connection with the army.
which Gen. Grant is organizing on a
basis which surpasses the economies
in vogue before the war. Under
Buehanan's administration, when the
total strength did not exceed nineteen
regiments, the average cost per year was
twenty two millions, gold Now the
army is composed of sixty regiments,
and General Grant proposes to carry
it on at an, annual cost of thirty-three
millions currency. On the basis of
1867, the cost Of the service would be
eighty three millions, and the mini
mum which Mr.. Wells hoped to at
tain was fifty-three millions. AS COM
pared with the standard,
therefore, or with that which Mr..
Wells suggested, the reduction actu-
ally effected by Gen. Grantwill be, re-
