TRENTON, March 6, 1SSe.-Nothing the
Republicans have done since they gained
control of the Legislature three years
ago. more forcfbly demonstrates their
consuinmate hypocrisy than the deficiency
bill which the Joint Committee on APP
preparations finished yesterday afternoon,
Last year. it will be remembered, the
Republicans, with a great flourish of
trumpets. brought forth the first appro-
priation bill in the history Of the State.
The main ground for that and the one
which they exploited the loudest, was

said that the Democratic heads of the
departments were 50 used to official
riotous living. that they could not be
rived from the Republican economical
diet and the bill would lave to go. What
IS the result? A deficiency of $z43, 755.56
and the appropriation law in force only
four months.
Nor does this great deficiency come
from the departments which are still in
control of Democrats. but from the
courts, the States correctionary and
charitable Institutions and similar sources
whose workings were crippled in order
teal capital for the G-ubernatoria elec-
ton.
