Administration has been q stranger. Quoting ex-
tensively from the speech once made by Gen. Gar
field, and from number Of official documents, FUR
nished by the Treasury Department, he undertook
to show that for the year ending in 1874 reductions
in appropriations, exclusive OF those when
are permanent and Of the extraordinary
bill for the support Of the navy, amounted
TO S24, OO00O0 and for the year end
ing in 1875 the reduction was $7.25O,OOO. He
opposed strongly the reductions proposed in the bil
under consideration az unwise and unjust, and adj
vsed the Democratic party if they really desire 10
rerench the expenses of the Government, to look in
other directions. Mr.. Hamilton of New-Jerscy de-
Tended the bill and was followed by Mr.. lurlbnt OF
Illinois and Mr.. Chittendcn Of New-fork, who
closed the debate for the day in opposition to the
picayune reductions which the Committee have
recommended. Conversations among a number oil
