The SuNDRY CIVIL APPROPRIATION BILL.
The President, on Monday, sent to the
House of Representatives message contain
ing his objections to the Suniry Civil Appro-
priation bill. lie SAYS
at makes but inadequate provision for
the service at best, and in some instances
fails to make any provision whatever. No
tab.y among the Erst-class is the reduction in
the ordinary annual appropriations for the
revenue cutter service, 10 the prejudice OF
the customs revenue. The same may be said
of the signal service, as also of the failure to
provide for the increased expenses devolyed
upon the minis and assay officers 10y recent
legislation, and thus tending TO defeat the
objects Of that legislation. OF this class also
are the public buildings, Tor the protection,
preservation and completion Of which there
l. no adequate appropriation, while the sum
Of 800 900 only Is appropriated Tor repairs
OF the different navy yards and stations and
the reservation Of the same, the ordinary
and customary appropriations for which are
not less than 81 600, 900 \ similar re-
duction is made in the expenses for ar
mories and arsenals. Provision for or
binary judicial expenses IS much less
than the estimated amount for that impOr-
tart service. Provision for the expenses of
surveys Of public lands Is less than one halt
the usual appropriation for that service and
what are understood to be its actual de-
mands. \ reduction in expenditures for
lighthouses, beacons and fog stations is also
made in similar proportion. OF the class
for which no appropriation Is made, among
the most notable perhaps IS that portion Of
the general expenses Of the District Of Col
umbia in behalf Of the United States as ap-
propriated in former years and the judg-
ments Of the Court Of Claims. Of differ
ent character Is the omission 10 enable the
Secretary Of the Treasury to have the rebel
archieyes and records Of captured and aoan-
doned property examined and information
furnished therefrom for the use Of the Govern
ment. In this eighth month Of the present
Session Of Congress, nearly one month Of the
fiscal year To which this appropriation ap-
plies having passed. do not feel warranted
IN yeloing absolutely the appropriation bill,
but IN signing it | deem II a daty to show
where the responsibility belongs for what
ever embarra,sments may arise in the exeeu-
ton of the trust confied 10 me.

above quoted is part Of an arraignment Of

President Grant had done 50 and 80.
# President Grant had been nominated for

and .f he had done what the Senhnel a.

charge Bri,tow resigned, as he himself As
serted. because Of private engagements which
had for months demanded his retirement,
and under which be would have resigned
months before if it were not that his resig-
nation would have been misconstrued in

for the Presidency. So Treasurer New

And II they were true, it would not follow
that the Republican party was responsible
for the acts Of President Grant. We have
no doubt that with all his faults General
Grant is far more honest as well as more
patriotic and more reliable man than sam
uel j. Tilden. lnjudicious as some Of
President Grants appointments have been,
the worst of them are probably better than
those which would follow the election Of
Tilden, if Providence should have such a
misfortune in store for the country. No
