GRANTS FINANCIAL Foley.
The financial policy of Gen. Grants Administration
may be thus presented: l. To the faithful cOllec
ton OF public revenue; O. To reduce the public ex
pendtures; g. To reGsablsh public credit, and, conse
quenly TO reduce the interest accounts L. To reduce
taxation and, finally to prepare the way for the re
sumption of specie payments at the earliest moment

Virginia during the last q months OF Mr.. Johnsohs
his onieiai term, was about mlion-and

Considering the internal revenue system a whole,

the total gain was equal to advance Of I7

disposition OF Nj. johnson TO see that tue laws

the larger portion due TO circumstance, and TO
condition Of things which we are now invited TO renew.
II is well known that during Mr.. JOhnsnns adminstra
ton the senate was Republican by large majority, and
that Mr. johnson sympatbILed VITA the Democratic
party The natural result OF this condition OF things
was that persons VINO sought ppointments through te
nomination OF the PRESIDENT ana confirmation OF tie

party None Dut dshOhess persons "oud resort 10 such
means and therefore, general rule, dishonest per-

who were actually gullty OF lraud DuJ whose gut was
not proved, met all suggestions OF cTninay with the
statement that the charges originated in political hos

President and the Senate rendered IL easy for dishonest

may be the present opinion OF the country will be

listed during Mr. JOhnsOus Administration You will se-
the retention OF dishonest men in Office and the APP

do not admit OF control. The Administration Of Gen.
Grant has given To the country the benefit OF common

NECESSITY AGREEMENT BETWEEN CONGRESS AND

In considering the second point IL is proper also 10
say that reduction Of the public expenditures can
scarcely be effected except there be common purpose

purpose not likely TO exist unless they entertain the
same political opinions The expenditures for the year
