DOLLARS LEss THAN THE DEMOCRATIC
" sTEALINes UNDER BUCHANAN.
The "miscellaneous' disbursements, as
they arc called-ircluding all disburse-
ments not otherwise classfied-under Bu-
chanan were one hundred and one millions,
five hundred thousand dollars, and the de-
falcations were nearly eight hundred and
thirty-fvo thousand dollars-$S34, 73l 96-
while under Grant these disbursements
were over four hundred and four millions
Of dolars, and the defalcatons something
over seven hundred and ffty-eight thou
sand dollars $75S, 201. 90. So that in dis
bursting four times the amount Of revenue,
the republicans "stolc' less than seventy
six thousand, five hundred dollars in actual
amount. Moreover, lie republican "StedI-
"iHgS" t0tre one M,llj0a SccCR hundred and
tUenty-Secen thousand dollars less than
democratic stealings Under Van Buren,,
twcnty-eight thousand less than under
Polk, one hundred ard four thousand less
than under Pierce, and, as we have said,
over seventy-six thousand dollars less than
under Buchanan.
The disbursements of the revenue from The
were postoilico department under Buchanan
nearly lfty-seyen millions Of dollars, and
the defalcations one hundred scventy-two
thousand, two hundred and seveuty-aight
dollars while under Grant the disburse-
ments were one hundred and seventy mil
lions of dollars, and the defalcations were
one hundred and flfty-two thousand. seven
hundred and siXty-eight dollars. So that
the republicans in Disturbing three times
as much revenue, 'stole" some twenty
thousand dollars less in amount-and Blu
chanan's postmasters "stole" ono hundred
and eight thousand dollars less than Pierce's
postmasters did. But we regret to say that
Grants p0stmssters have "stolen' fifty
seven thousand dollars more than Lncoln's
did-but then there have been nearly twice
as many to do the "stealing' and nearly
five times as much revenue TO ''stcsl' from.
Excluding the posioliice department
and the comparison in respect 10 that de-
partment, we have already msde-and The
entire disbursements OF the government
under Buchlnan's administration were
three hundred aud twenty eight millions Of
dollars, and the defalca,ions therein two
millions, Two hundred and ninety-two
thousand, eight hundred and twenty-five
dollars - -, 2J2 s25 80 -; while under
Grant the disbursements were four thou
sand and zine milioue Of dollars, and
the defalcations one million. four hundred
and sixteen thousand, nve hundred and
forty-one dollars-S1,4 JIG 4l20. So that
while the republicans disbursed twelve
times as much ra~c-.e, they actual
ly 'stole' eight hundred and s.ycnty-four
thousand dollars less than the democrats
did.
To go back to tackeons day. During MS
second tern these g-o99 tctcl d!s6u.se-
ments were one hundred and ten millions
