EXECUTIVE EXPENDITURES.
The joint Committee on Executive EX-
penditures submitted report setting forth
in detail the amount of expenditures made
the 1st day of October, 1869, to the Both day
of September, 1870. The total amount of
these expenditures is $3.50, 2S2.41, which ex-
ceeds the amount annually appropriated
therefor by $9,2S2.41. The excess Of ex-
pendture over the appropriation is ex-
planned by the actual expenses of the peni-
Tertiary guard, which amounts to $12,-
SCI. 80, and only $1,000 was appropriated !;
and for the extraordinary expenses incur
red in repairs to the Capitol made neces-
sary by the calamity of the 9th April, 1870,
for which only $4,S66.11 were appropriated,
whilst 81 ,567 80 were expended. BY giving
proper credit to these amounts, which, it
is claimed, should not fall upon the civil
contingent fund, the amount properly
chargeable to this fund would have been
%, 6f 10 less than the appropriation made.
