back for moment in the history of our country,
gentlemen will remember that one of the gravest
charges against the administration of James
Buchanan was its extravagant and unnecessary
expenditures, and vet looking at the amount
thereof but twelve years ago we find that that
administration asked and obtained apprOpria-
lions for the year 1860 amounting to S60277, 033.
For the year 1861, being the first year under Mr..
Lincoln, the appropriations were as follows:

The amout necessary TO an economical admins
tratOn Of the Government, as here stated, is sub
stantialy sustained by that experienced and able
statesman, Senator TrUmbull, who in recent
address to the citizens of New York stated that
the sum of 100000 900 sufficient to carry on
the Government under an honest and ecOnomi-
cally administration of its affair. Thus it will be
seen, Mr.. Chairman, that about torty-fve million
dollars per annum is unnecessarily eXaCted from
the people by this A administration and if Won add
TO that the sum paid unnecessarily to the bankers
of the country as / have heretofore shown in
some remarks submitted to the House. YOU have
the sum Of 6O,OOO,OO0 per annum which could by
a just and economical administration of the Gov
eminent be saved to the people. Even this
amount could be swollen some six or seven mill
lion dollars by applying the surplus now in the
Treasury OF the United States lover one hundred
million dollars to the payment of the public
debt
When we reflect, Mr.. Chairman, that under the
indirect mode by which taxes are paid in Gus
toms duties, the people are deubly taxed in the
profits and interest paid either TO the importer
iObber, and merchant. or the manufacturer, 1t is
grossly unjust to collect more than is required by
the absolute wants CT the government. And
when we further reflect that this extravaganza is
encouraged and allotted by those who are pro-
occasiOned thereby, the conspiracy becomes
criminal in its great injustice to the people. Mr..
Chairman, the benefits and burdens of govern
ment should be equal and uniform, resting upon
all alike-jUst to ALL exclusive privileges to none.
Let these principles be the foundation stones
thereof, and then we may hope its life will be
eternal. Unshackled labor and untrammeled
commerce are the sure guerdOns of prosperity,
wealth, and power.

THE postmaster of Boston recently found

THE postmaster of Boston recently found
holders of that city, calling attention to the
fact that many persons receiving letters are
in the habit Of opening them in the vesti-
bule or on the street, and throwing the en-
yciopes on the ground. This Gu stom has
been largely turned to account by sbarpers,
who are thus enabled to learn the box mum
bers Of firms and to lay plans for getting
possession Of their letters. This is accom-
plished in variety of ways, the most sue
cessful of which has been by means of bogus
box tickets in use in that city, the hurry
and confusion incident to the distribution
of the mails generally enabling the persons
practising this fraud to escape detection at
the moment and carry off boxful Of valu-
able business letters.
