House, or REPRESENTATIVE,
WASHINGTON. ID. c., Fsb'y n, 1870
MT DEAR Sin: In the confusion which has
arisen in some Of the public journals about esti'
mates and appropriations and disbursement,
the impression has been created that Genern
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 fg.
ures, will clearly establish. The present Adj
mnistraton has been In power nearly year,
and we can compare that period with the clos
ing twelve months Of President JOhnsou's
administration. From March !, 1868, to
March /, 1869, the total receipts into the
Treasury were q little over three hundred and
sixty-eieht million dollsrs-I avoid fractions
for the sake Of perpicuity. Every dollar Of
this was expended, and the public debt for the
same period increased about six million dollars,
rs appears from.the official publications OF the
Treasury Department, thus showing total eI-
pendture Tor the year Of three hundred and
seventy -four million dollars, (374 ,OOO.OOO0
The total receipts into the Treasury for the
first year OF General Grants administration.
estimating for the few remaining days, will
amount to three hundred and ninty-four nil
lion dollars, (39i, Oo0,OO0.) Out Of this sum

payment Of the public debt, thus leaving Tor

traiioa. These figures are taken from official
records and their accuracy cannot be question
ell.
II will be observed that the receipts were
twenty-six millions ts26. 900 ,OO0) more in Gen.
eral Grants first year than In Mr.. Johnsoh's
last year. Over twenty million dollars Of this
must be credited to the internal revenue, which
has been much more faithfully collected for II
will be noted that this large Increase in amount
has been derived from diminished and contract
ell sources Of taxation, many Of the taxes in
force during part Of the year 1862 having
been repealed before President Grant came into
office. Whether regard, then. be had to the
fidelity with which the revenue is collected, or
the economy with which II Is expended, the
comparison for the past is undeniably and over
whelmingly in favor Of the present Admins
tration.
For the future the fullest confidence may be
INDUCED. The House Of Representatives Is Wig
orously secondng the efforts made by Mr..
Dawes, the able and upright chairman Of the
Appropriation Committee, to curtail expcndi-
ture wherever il may be done; and am very
sure that for the ensuing year Secretary Bout
we'll will exhibit financial record even more
satisfactory to taxpayers than that Of the year
which is about to close.
