The history Of legislation hardly fur
ni-hcs another example of such mass OF
extraordinary admissions. denial-, and IL
noranco AZ was exhibited in the debate on
the Army bill, 10y almost every member OF
the Committee on Appropriations who at
tempted Ia speak when the Till was beiore
the House ON Thursday last, Congress was
culled together specially to consilcr this
subject. 1t had been largely discussed ho-
fore the last House, and in the press since
the ith Of March The committee pond"red
over it for several weeks, and took counsel
with the military chiefs, who ns usual, have
had pretty much their own way.
As result of all this dclibcratlon, th'y
reported bill calling for twcnty-sM mil
lions of dollars, which is largely increased
by the additions made in the House. When
questioned as to the numbers OF the army
and the provision mad. the best answer
| Mr.. ATKINS could givs was as follows:
"wturv friend from, dissoud Mr. CmrrtsptNi allow

TO rct"re
"rhcn say that the committee cannot determine how
much money should bee appropriated to pay the army
The best explanation Mr.. ATKINS could
make was the very lame one:

been in the least distressed since the begin

ill-rcwarded labor. have to support these
magnificent and supcrnuous officers. and TO
nay the taxes. no matter what may be their
condition Mr. FOSTER had not word.
They did not merit his attention. When he
audaciously declared that any loss that had
been incurred was "by the delay and care
| los-ncss of the House" he deliberately con-
| tradictcd the record and the facts.
The House passed the Army bill, and the
| senate refused to accept il. assuming To dis
regard the puw,. ia, ,r-uulc'a Represent
tatNcs over the public purse. Congress
adjourned. and the Fraudulent President
had four months to call Congress together
before the beginning Of the present fiscal
year. Selfish motives controlled his action
and he purposely delayed the summons foi
three reasons: First, 10 gain time for his
southern policy, free from the Interference Of
the Republicans in Congress, whose Oppo
sitln he feared. Secondly, to keep the army
up to the maximum point. apprchcnding q
reduction by Congress Thirdly, 10 give
favored contractors and iobhcrs the oppor
tuulty to furnish supplies for six months
without authority of law.
On the same day Mr.. CoNGER of Michigan

who was quito ignorant of anything wrong

pllshcd by fraudulent returns

In his hands rests the pardoni"s power. Let
