The necessity for sending the
troops to Vera Cruz was eXtraordi
nary and cost the war department a
large sum of money, and in addition
it was necessary to eXpend upwards
of a million dollars for the care,
protection and transportation of Am
orleans in Mexico and to feed and
provide for the Mexican refugees
interned in this country.
These are only a few of the un-
usual expenditures which the present
congress has been called upon to
meet and for which no other con-
gress has been obliged to make ap
preparations. So that eliminating this
class of appropriations the present
congress instead of being eXtrava-
giant has been money saving con-
gress.
