The last Democratic administration that
was in full power in this country under Presi-
dent Buchanan spent for the objects en-
braced in this schedule something over
seventy millions per annum in gold-an equiv
alent in paper to-day of eighty-five millions
of dollars. The population Of the country
was then less than thirty millions. 1t is now
forty millions, so that President Grant would
be entitled by the ratio which has always
governed expenditure in this country, to spend
third more in the administration of the
Government than was required under
Buchanan, and that would bring the sum
total to one hundred and fouEteen millions of
dollars when in reality it is but one hundred
and five millions. And the details of ex-
penditure in the two periods will show i'm
mensely in favor of President Grants econo-
N.Y. Under President Buchanan the army
consisted of nineteen regiments, and yet its
maintenance cost for the four years OF the
administration an average of over twenty
dollars per anum in gold or about thirteen
hundred thousand dollars in the paper money
of to-day for each regimant. The army at
present consists of forty regiments and yet
its whole maintenance for the year costs but
twenty nine millions of dollars, a trife over
seven hundred thousand dollars in paper
money to each regiment. s4l 90

comparison in that branch of the public ser

same statement is true in all the other depart

have assigned to this letter permitted it, l
could readily demonstrate that under repub-
can administration the national expenditure
has been far more carefully guarded and rig
ed economy far more carefully consulted
than under preceding democratic administra-
tions. The amounts expended have necessa-
rily been very large and the temptation to ex-
travagance thus greatly enhanced, and hence
the adherence to severe economy and strict
accountability is all the more praiseworthy
and honorable = r tatrtegg

The LeraI.1ender Act.

TO the Editor ofthe EVentng Telegraph
Every well-read lawyer knows that the
'Legal-tender act" could not constitution
ally impair the obligations of contracts exist
ing prior to the passage of said act by Con-
gress. Yet we see corporations using every
influence in their power, even to the employ
ment of the United States Attorney-G General,
to set aside the most equitable and just de-
cree that ever emanated from the Supreme
Court of the United States.
1t was bad enough in all conscience for
those who loaned coin to corporations in
good faith, to have patiently submittedfor eight
years to violation of contracts by having to
take deprecated irredeemable paper for in
terest on railroad and other company bonds
when the difference between what they got
and what they were entitled to was at one
time equal to 40 per cent, without being
still further imposed upon when the differ
ence is only II per cent.
Have these loyal corporations no honor
left? Are they just in paying to the stock
holders ten per cent. dividend clear of taxes
and refusing to pay the six per cent. to those
who aided the stockholders to build their
roads? Oh shamel This is nothing bat bare
faced Reputation and fraud.
Will the Supreme Court reverse its late de-
cision, thereby decreeing that the creditor
class have no rights? that those who labor
hard and save by economy for their wives and
children cannot be protected from repudiating
debtors? In short, will the highest court in
the land enact the part of legalizing repudia-
ton? When this denoralizing action takes
place. every defrauded creditor should and
will insist on all United States bondholders
who purchased said bonds after the passage
of the Legal-tender act, and paid for the same
in deprecated paper, shall be paid, principal
and interest, in like deprecated paper.
Corporate and individual reputation once
sustained, will inevitably beget national re-
pudiation and dishonor. 1t will also seriously
impede resumption of specie payments, as
the debtor class will, so long as they can pay
their liabilities with q deprecated currency,
oppose and be the enemies of resumption.
The masses love justice and equality, and
admire the honesty of Chief Justice Chase's
decision in time of peace, even if in contra
diction TO his action under the necessities of
war. The reversal of the late decision of the
court will have a strong tendency to elevate
the Chief Justice to higher place in the gift
of the people.
