suit. '"
Ihate to trouble ron so much with
the details of figures, but as this is u
fair specimen of the way in which
our Republican fellow-citizcns, when
thay get invested with power in
Washington, seek 10 cover up til cir
doings, you will excuse me ii I call
your attention to it for one moment.
The way In which these gen tlen,en
manage is this: They appropriate
very much less each year than they
know will be expended, and, toward
the end of the session of the year for
which the appropriations have been
made, they get up what they call
deficiency bills" to cover the excess.
Then they 60 on in the same session
and appropriate for the next ycar'a
very much less amount, and whcr
that year comes round they pass EIDE
ticiency bills" again; but when they
como to tell you what the expenses
year by year are, they say, ''" That
is all We have appropriated" These
are our appropriations. Sec how
much we have curtailed upon last
year." They forget to tell you
about these deficiency bills" Sen
sation.1 Listen to mo one moment.
1 will not detain you long. De-
ficiency in expenses of reconstruc-
ton, 1851, 900; second, appropriation

(chieAy negroes) in the District Of
