In n few more days the Legislature OF
our State will convene, and upon that
BODY devoIvcs the highly important and
delicate duty of eIecting two United
States Senators.
Ii ever there was time in the history
Of oar country, when none but those OF
the most unsullled integrity and large
experience should be selected to I'LL high
placci in the various departments of our
government, nO's IS that time. The peO-
pie are looking with much solicitation to
the action of their Representatives in the
Legislature on this highly important
subject. They expect, as they have Il
right to expect, that none but the very
best selection will be made, having due
regard TO the antecedents of each aSp.-
rant.
The writer of this communication

West Virginia, and feels proud TO SAY
that he thinks our little State could boast

THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
A Reelection of Ten TO Twelve MIL
Hons from Inst Years Appropria-

A uctiOu of Ten to Twelve MIL
lions from Inst Years Appropria-
tiOns. IL
Special to the World. t
WASHINGTON, December q. by jan
uary 26an the appropriation hillswill be
before the House and most of them will
have been passed. Two things are
already certain, the sum total OF The
appropriations will be from $l0,OOO,OOO
to sl2,000,C00 below the expenses for
this year, and SAL ,000, 600 below the ap-
preparations for the year before, and the
deficiency bills will be, SO far as intor
nation has reached Mr.. Holman, below
those of any year for ten years psst
The estimates for deficiencies have not
vet been received, but they will princi.
pally be confined to the departments OF
Justice, Navy and War, and IN the last
they will be largely due to the moving
of troops long distances from the West
and East to the South. The deficiencies
IN the legislative expenses will also be
smaller than for eight years past. That
of the House is not likely to be over
$4,000, in a great degree due to unfor-
seen exigencies like the fuReral expenses
of Mr. Kerr. A very considerable saw
| iny has resulted from the fact that the
contingent fund has been entirel y abol-
! ished in the House, and cannot be drawn
upon BY resolution at pleasure. Aside
| from the decrease in deficiency bills, the
best proof of the success OF last year s
reduction is demonstrated in the fact
! that they are continued this year, and
should the expenditures of the
Government be administered upon
the same principle, reductions can be re-
peated yearly, 50 that The appropriations
for the current expenses of the Govern
ment will be reduced in three years from
| $l47,000000, which they are now, TO
$95, OOO, 900 or $l05, 00O,0 including in
this sum the pension list. This year the
! appropriation bills are passing at about
the figures of last year aud without de-
bate Those in the hands OF the commit
tee have been placed in the hands of sub.
committees during the recess, who will
be ready to report at its close, or in the
ensuing fortnight. The most i'm
portant reduction of the winter is
TO come in the Pension bill. The House
has made it rule to pass this bill pre-
cisely as estimated by the Pension Blu
reau, although it has been felt that the
| expenses Incident to the disbursement of
the pensions were extravagantly large.
The Senate Committee on Appropria-
tions has passed an amendment to the
bill, however, which will reduce this par
ticuIar item, and when the bill comes
back to the House still further reductions
will be made in the same direction,
amounting IN all to several hundreds Of
thousands.
