FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS

WASHISCTON. FEB. "a.
SENATE. A resolution was adopted calling
on the President for information as to the au-
thority under which Gen. Ames acted as pro-
visional Governor of Mississippi.
The following resolution by Mr.. William
was adopted without division.
Resolved, That to add to the present circu-
lation Of the paper currency of the country,
would be to render more difficult and remote
the resumption of the specie payments; en-
courage and foster the spirit of speculation,
aggrayate the evils produced by frequent and
sudden fluctuations Of values to depreciate
the credit of the nation, and to check the
healthful tendency of legitimate tendency of
business, to settle down upon safe and
permanent basis. And therefore in the opin-
ion of the Senate the existing volume Of
such currency ought not to be increased
The regular business of the day, and the
admission OF Mr.. Rcvels was postponed to
allow Messrs. Fenton and Patterson of New
Hampshire to speak on finance.
A long debate followed by the above gen.
tlemen.
Mr.. Revels admission was taken up. Mr..
Salisbury made a speech in opposition, deny
ing Mr.. Revels citizenship as legally estab-
lished.

pima in the Pennsylvania Legislature, asking
Congress to CO operate with the movement
for centennial celebration Of the anniversary

William Orion, President of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, addressed the
Senate Post Office Committee to-day, in op-
position to the Hubbard Postal Telegraph
bill, and showed by statistics that the tele-
graph service in this country was cheaper per
mile than in any European country, and that
the business was much larger in proportion
to the population. He argued that the Hub
bard bill would work injury to the existing
companies and be no protection against mon
opolies and its practical operations would
cause deficit equal to the present postal de-
fcency, besides requiring a large expense
for the construction of additional lines for
increased business.
Mr.. Orion further claimed that the govern
ment should not interfere with private enter
prises so long as they did their work well and
charged only fair rate of profit. In conclu-
sion he submitted proposition that if Con-
gress would take off taxation and give free
right of way along railroads The Company
would reduce the tariff rates two-sevenths
and content itself with dividing ten per cent
on its capital The hearing will be continued
Saturday.

amined the charges against Mr. Galladay for

itory law. The salient points of the bill are
that the municipal officers are authorized to

ton of law until warrant can BIZ obtained
If any selectman on written notice by two or
more witnesses refuses or neglects to enforce
the law, he shall be liable to a fine Of not less
than eco or more than $50 for each offence.

In our court record yesterday the name Of
VIM. H. Turner was placed in the list of those
whose love for ardent spirits had impelled
> them to commit the sin of drunkenness. This
was correct report, but We are sorry that
there shouid be an impression in the COM
munity that the individual mentioned is Mr.

No greater mistake than this could be made,
as Mr.. Turner is an industrious, temperate
and worthy young man. We are sorry that
any man of the same name should be guilty
of drunkenness.

The Home Journal, in its account of tho
great inundation, says the damage done in
Gardiner was so very slight, compared with
what has been apprehended and what has been
done above that city, that our people can
hardly regard with anything but feelings of
thankfulness their escape from greater calam-
tiles. The principal loss has been to the ice
business, but few of those engaged in it hav-
ing commenced to take in, though all ready
to do So" @ ,
The Journal also says: ''When commu-
nifty has escaped such a calamity as was SO
plainly imminent, many speculations are in
dulged in by wise and otherwise as to what
saved us. We have heard but ole opinion in
regard to it in this instance. Lumbermen
and all others agree that but for the Brown
Island Boom the ice would have come down
from Hallowell, which must have swept every
thing before it,"

There was a stormy scene in the Corps
Legislature to-day. NJ. Olivier announced
that the government in accordance with the
liberal course it had marked out proposed to
abandon wholly the system of placing in the
field, and supporting the official candidates
for the chamber.
This met with great opposition from the
deputies of the right, who burst into loud
cries Of disapproval, and caused scene of
confusion which lasted many minutes.
NJ. Olivier nevertheless persisted in speak
ing, and declared that the government would
not separate itself from what had been well
done during the past eighteen years. 1t
could not act contrary to its own antecedents
1t could not present the spectacle of men
who had arrived at power, disowning their
principles and acts.
M. Olivier was constantly interrupted
white making these explanations, and it was
only when he ceased speaking that order was
restored. The right Immediately moved the
order of the day, unfolding the system of
official considerations, and stormy discussion
ensued.
NJ Olivier asked that the order of the day
be not put to a vote. The deputies on the
left declared that they must support the min
lister. because they were pledged to electoral
freedom, but for no other reason The order
of the day as moved by the right was adopted
-l87 to Sc. Much agitation has been pro-
duced by the result which is considered
equivalent to a declaration of a want Of con-
fidenee in the Ministry.

LETTER FROM SPEAKER Blaine
ON THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURES
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Fe6'y 2lst, 1870.
My DEAR SIR: In the confusion which
has arisen in some of the public journals
about estimates and appropriations and
disbursements, the impression has been
created that Gen. Grants administration
has expended more money in the same
time than its immediate predecessor. This
is totally erroneous, as the balance sheet,
on comparison Of official figures, will
clearly establish. The present Admins
tration has been in power nearly year.
and we can compare that period with the
closing twelve months of President John
sons administration. From March LIST,
1868, to March LIST, 1869, the total receipts
into the Treasury were little over three
hundred and sixty-eight million dollars
! avoid fractions for the sake of perspicui-
ty. Every dollar of this was expended,
and the public debt for the same period
increased about six million dollars, as APP
pears from the official publications Of the
Treasury Department, thus showing a to-
tai expenditure for the year Of three hun
dred aud seventy-four million dollars.
(S374, 00O,0OO.) ... -..-...
The total receipts into the Treasury for
the first year of General Grants admins
tration. estimating for the few remaining
days. will amount to three hundred and
ninety-four million dollars. (s394, 900, 900.
Out of this sum total eighty millions have
been applied to the payment of the public
debt, thus leaving for the current expendi-
lures of Government, including interest
on the public debt. three hundred and
fourteen million dollars, (s3l4. O00, 00o,) or
SIXTY millions less than scas expended in
the same time by President Johnson's adj
n,iniStration. These figures are taken from
official records and their accuracy cannot
be questioned.
1t will be observed that the receipts
were twenty-six millions (S26, 900 ,OOO)
more in General Grants first year than in
Mr.. Johnson's last year. Over twenty
million dollars of this must be credited to
the internal revenue, which has been much
more faithfully collected :. for it will be
noted that this large increase in amount
has been derived from diminished and con-
tracted sources of taxation, many of the
taxes in force during a part OF the year
| 1869 having been repealed before Presi-
dent Grant came into Office. Whether
regard, then, be had to the fidelity with
| which the revenue is collected, or the
economy with which it is expended the
comparison for the past is undeniably and
overwhelmingly in favor of the present
Administration.
For the future the fullest confidence
may be INDUCED. The House of Repre-
sentatives is vigorously seconding the eff
forts made by Mr.. DAWES, the able and
upright chairman of the Appropriation
Committee, to curtail expenditure wher-
ever it may be done; and am very sure
that for the ensuing year Secretary Bout
we'll will exhibit a financial record even
more satisfactory to taxpayers than that
of the year which is about to close.
Very truly, yours.
j. G. BLAINE.
