WAAurNGroN, Jan. 27--Dawas made
another terrific onslaught on the Admins
tration to-day, I'm which he showed uD the
eNtravaganees Of thor fiscal estimates for
1870 and 1871, and demonstrated Ga the most
unmistakablc manner by impregnnblo f1cts
and figures, chat the Government Is running
riot Ia is expenditures Of the public money.
lie showed by contrast that the last admin
istration was characterized by prudence and
economy. which the present one would do
well 20 take As an example.
The President, replying, 20 Mayor Bowen
and others, regarding Washington City. de-
MED the intention of his recommending au
appropriation for the improvement OF Wnsh-
would be disregarded by the Western mCm-
bers, who were especially tenacious on this
subject; that the year closing on March the
81 would show "a reduction Of the public
debt and less taxation; and Congress bv
that time might see the necessity Of Inn
proving the capitol. He had no doubt the
time would come when the Cabinet masters
would be furnished with houses free OF rent
by the Government. To suppose that men
representing the nation, could, on the pitt
lance of 5000 per year, give grand dinncrs
and receptions. was simply ridiculous.

lcge.

travagance against the Administration.

travagance Of Government. Among other
statements, he said "After visiting tho De-
partment, aud demonstrating against Che csc
Inmates, visited the President who said.
he knew little Of any other. than estimates

Gen. Terry officially communicated 90 the
War Department the organization of the
