It is with some reluctance that I trespass upon the time of the House at this period of its ses-sion; and I will make my remarks as brief as possible. I do not know that any other opportunity will occur, and T shall therefore embrace the present. PRESENT CONDITION OF THE TREASURY. On the first day of July last there was a surplus of $17,710,114 in the Treasury. The surplus lias been reduced to the shadow of a shade. The Secretary of the Treasury in December last, in a message calling for an issue of $20,000,000 of the Treasury notes, told us that in all probability but a small i part, if any, of the amount would be needed j at an early day; yet, now, we havo another j message from tbatjsame officer, in which he . tells us that, third session of the Thirty-fourth Congress 872,112,21)8 were appropriated ; tor this year I find that the Committee of Ways and Means has increased this sum by detiiiency bills amounting to $11,201,701, composed of the following items: Sound' dutic«. by treaty with Denmark $333,011 Printing, deficiency already passed .141,000 Balance of printing deficiency for this year (estimated) 600,000 Miscellaneous 878,818 Army deficiency 7,926,000 Poat Office deficiency '. 1.4150,273 ll* *'• » If . s.".\ MERCHANT, East Front Street, N !..;.• or Smith'i Line NEW YORK PACKETS. ; gooda received anil Forwarded. 090 6m ttOXT STREET HOUSE, BEAUFORT, N I.- - - W T W1UTF1EL1), Proprietor, p.j. l*:*)je and commociotis Hotel is now open for r tftenaaouaUeO oi visitors.

IK.VL 888 !f authorized By the act of December 23, 1857, i will be exhausted in supplying the deficien-cies ii tho TreuBttry for the present fiscal year. "We shall commence the next fiscal year dependent entirely upon tho current re-ceipts into the Treasury to meet all demands from it." So, ior the first year of this Administra-tion, we have, in addition to the current rev-enue, an old balance of 817,000,000 and 820,- 000,000 of Treasury notes already expended and gone. We have a deficiency of $37,000,- 000 in a single year; and we arc now called on by the Administration for another loan of Si5,000,000. And, sir, we are told that this loan will not meet the exigency—it is only a partial remedy—a homoeopathic dose. The Secretary gives us fair notice that he will want further loans during the next fiscal year. 1 will call the attention of the Com-mittee to this clause <<l' his letter: " I have confined this inquiry to the two first quarters of the next fiscal year, as Con-gress will reassemble before the close of tho second quarter, and it will be time enough then, should it become necessary, to provide for future contingencies that cannot now be foreseen." "Future contingencies that cannot now be foreseen !" Is the Secretary like Micawber waiting for "something to turnup?" Sir, these future contingencies can bo foreseen. 1 can demonstrate to any sensible man that the Secretary of the Treasury will be com-pelled to call on Congress for 842,000,000 to supply deficiencies in the next fiscal year. To that will have to be added $21,000,000 to redeem tlte- outstanding Treasury notes and interest, which run but ibr one year, so that there will be an addition to the national debt of 863,000,000 in two years. Under these circumstances a loan bill is proposed to the House, and it is not accom-panied by any measure of revenue, or of re-trenchment and reform. No proposition is made to increase the tariff, no measure to enlarge the revenue. As the first fruits of this Administration, we are embarked in a nt system of loans to support the in his figures heretofore, I prefer to follow my own. EXPENDITURES EOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR. I have endeavored carefully to prepare an estimate of the expenditures for the next fis-cal year. By the annual estimates of the Secretary of the Treasury, the expenditures for that year would be 874,064,155. But this does not include many items, most of which will have to be paid for as certainly as the Presi-dent's salary. Some are as follows: Three new regiments $4,289,547 Probable Post Office deficiencies over amount apprnprited 2,5000,000 Public bwjMmgi 1,700,000 Private bills (estimated) 1,000,000 Printing deficiency 600,000 Armv delieiencv. estimated to be the same a^ last yen 8.000,000 bom. If, while gentlemen are lavish in the pub-lic money, they would vote $1,500,000 to the I protection of the commerce of tho great and j growing power of the Northwest, it would i show sonio kind of justice and liberality.— ' But, sir, the region of country which will,! in a short time control the destinies of this | nation, which now in its i.imost infancy, fee JH our artisans and sailors, and in time of war furnishes sturdy defenders of our national honor, has appealed in vain for ordinary re-pairs of their harbors, bftOMUU (for I can see no other reason) they are not upon the At-lantic coast. Time will soon cure this evil; and we, who come from the West, will have the power to legislate for ourselves, as the Atlantic and Culf const has done in times past. EXPENDITURES COMPARED WITH FORMER YEAR*.

He says that since the meeting of Congress " the de-mands upon the Treasury for the present fiscal year have been increased by legislation to an amount not far be-low 810,000,000." ] would like to know by what legislation we have increased the burden thrown upon the treasury? lias the committee of Ways and Means introduced measures into this House appriating $10,000,000 not sanctioned by the executive f Has any act been ap-proved by the House which appropriates 810,000,000 not called for by the Secretary of the Treasury 1 If Congress has thrown an additional burden upon the Executive de-partments, I would like to know by what law and for what purpose it has been done. 1 have no knowledge of any bill which has not been demanded and urged upon us by the Executive. Certainly Congress has pro-posed no new expenditure. But the Secre-tary says this has been done by legislation. We did pass a deficiency bill, and that, i suppose, is tho legislation referred to. But at whose demand .' We alt know how ur-gentlv these executive officers, who now ieek to charge that Congress has thrown upon the treasury an additional burden, beg- • red us to pass the deficiency bill. And what was this deficiency for ? To cany on the Utah war—a purely Executive war—a war and carried without the assen Con f< edai~&nd at great expense, the Administra-tion gathered together an army in the ter-ritory of Kansas, to overawe that people, and retained it there until a period too tote to march to Utah before the approaching winter. With utter disregard of either poli-cy or economy, the President then ordered lorward our gallant army, to spend the win-ter in the Rocky Mountains. He did not wait until Congress could be consulted, in-stead of sending peace commissioners to reason with a rebellious people, and nego-tiate terms of peace, he posted his army in the mountains, and compelled them to be supported there with flour at fifty dollars a barrel, and other provisions at an equally enormous rate. Uter millions have thus been wtisLed, discovers,for the first time, that negotiation might prevent the war; and then, with ridiculous haste, commissioners are d patched to overtake the army, ltecen vices indicate that a private citizen complished what the Administration too late attempted ; and thus the treasury has been burdened by the useless expenditure of mo-tions Of dollars by an unauthorized act of executive power. EXPENIUTUIIES FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR. Mr. Chairman, 1 now desire to submit to the Committee some remarks in regard to tho expenditures of our Government, and to show their increase, and where we are . drifting to. The expenditures of the last ge»U fecal year, according to the documents which $18,089,647 Making in tiie aggregratc $92.143.2lr_\ It is true that some of those may be over estimated, but I have the estimates furnished to me by the committee of Wajffl and Means. It may be that the army deficiencies next year may not be so large as 1 have put them down. It may be that two of these new reg-iments may be dispensed with. It may be that they will be much larger; but 1 take it as a reasonable inference that the deficiency next year will be as large as the deficiency this year, because deficiency bills never de-crease. Now, this sum of $02,000,00 does not in-clude any of the following items of expendi-ture, and I wish, gentlemen, to add those upon their own estimate, to this aggregate: For protecting works commenced in our nu-merous rivers and harbors, the lowest esti-mate of which is 81.500,000; and then there is*yOur calendar of 1000 private bills deman-ding your attention. There is the pension bill for the old soldiers of the war of 1812, proposed by the gentleman from Tennessee (.M r. Savage) requiring $8,009,000 per annum. I There are ten new war steamers, proposed by my friend from Virginia, (Mr. Bocock,) $2,.">00,000. The French Spoliation bill, urged BO forcibly by the gentleman from Massachu-setts (Mr. Davis.) which, if passed, will re-quire 85,000.000. The duties to be refunded on goods destroyed by fire, I do not know how much. Commutation to the heirs of prepared from official document-'. [Ex. Docs.

It thus appears that from the foundation of our Government, on the 4th of March 17*9 to December 31, 17SH, nearly three years, the aggregate expenses of this Government, exclusive of the public debt, were one mil-lion nino hundred and nineteen tnousand five hundred and eighty-nine dollars. For the next fiscal year—probably a better bas^s for estimate—it was one million eight hun-dred and seventy-seven thousand nine hun-dred and three dollars. Ourpopulation was then three million nine hundred and twenty-nine thousand, being less than fifty cents to each inhabitant. Our expenses have now increased to eighty-three million .of dollars next year, andninely-three millions of dollars this year, and eighty-three millions of dol-lars next year, making an averave of three dallars to each inhabitant. In 1830, in (Jen. Jackson's time the expenditures were thir-teen millions of dollars, and the population was nearly as many millions. The amount to each iiiiiabtiant'was one dollar and three cents. In 1840 it amounted to one dollar and forty cents to each inhabitant. But now it is three dollars to each inhabitant, or thir-ty dollars to every free family, upon the ba-sis of the census of 1850, showing the num-ber of families to be three million fifty-four thousand three hundred and thirty-seven, or twentv-tbrcc dollars to every voter of four million fifty-four thousand four hundred and fifty at the Presidential election of 1850.— While the population has increased seven fold the expenditure has increased uptol8o7 thirty-six fold, and up to this year forty-eight fold. The aggregate expense of Mr. PierceV Ad-ministration, exclusive of payment on the public dent, was 8232,820,032. The aggri-gate expense of the government, trout its foundation up to the close of the last war. of the Government n 1840 and those of 1857. | comply with the urgent demands of tho Ex-ecutive for money. Perltaps it. may tench my friends a lossion; but if it does not, then I hope they will take warning from tho ex-ample set the other day, iu the case of my late colleage, Mr. Campbell, who had display-ed his zeal. I think unwisefy, in tho laot Congress, in urging all the appropriation bills, and complying to the fullest extent with the demauds of the executive; and, sir, when any of us yield, and, under the com-mendable desire to sustain the government, 12.ii'>10".»4 61 even when unwisely administered, veto for general appropriations, it is thrown in our teeth, when we only vote what they auk. I trust gentlemen, upon this sido of the House will take this as a warning and a lession.— It is a thankless task for gentlemen to aid an Administration like this or its predeces-sor iu carrying on tho burthens of tho gov-ernment, when they cannot vote for a single appropriation bill without having all these contingencies and jobs anil other items thrust upon them, and being told, "you voted for them." Sir, I can say for one, I did not.-- The gentleman will not find me in that cate-gory. I have already referred to tho military es-tablishment, showing a vast increase in its expenditures. I might, with the documents before me, show how millions have been sunk for transportation, subsistence and sit|>- plies, upon contracts made without puhlic notice, out I am admonished that my time will not allow.

With great ad-has ac-lat which we have had in 81,000.000 expended already in the publication or the report of the survej-s. Now, I have shown that in all human prob-ability the expenditures of this Government will be from ninety to one hundred million dollars. To meet'this, the Secretary, in his recent letter, estimates the receipts for the first two quarters at ?25,ooo.000. We know from comparison with former years, that the receipts for the last two quarters will not exceed the first, making the aggregate of re-ceipts §50,000,000, or a deficiency of over forty million dollars for the next year. ADMINISTRATION HEMF.DV LOANS AND TREAS-URY NOTES. And vet, sir, for this alarming condition of the public finances, the Administration has no measure of relief except loan bills and paper money, in the form of Treasury notes. He provision is made for their payment; no measure of retrenchment and reform; but these accumulated difficulties are thrust up-on the future, with the improvidence of a young spendthrft. While the Secretary is waiting to foresee contigcnci.'s, wo are pre-vented' by a party majority from instituting reform. Ifwe indicate even the commence-ment of retrenchment, or point out abuses, on this side of the House, we are at ones as-sailed by members of the committee of Ways and Means. The only effort at retrenchment which I hav seen "here successful, was that made In-die gentleman from Kentucky, (Mr. Mason) in reducing the number of officers employed about this Hall. That the committee of Ways and Means have no purpose of commencing a reform, we have ample evidence in the appropriation bills before us—more than sixty-nine million dolllars. This table does not include permanent ap-propriations, amountini' for i his fiscal year to s?7,430,582, nor does it include a multitude of bills appropriating money, from all the other Standing committees; and we are told that other bills are yet to be reported from the Wavs and .Means committee. W e know, by sure' experience, that these appropriation bills are never diminished; they are increas-ed in this House ; they are sent to the hen-ate and there they are overloaded with items already rejected"bv the House. Nor does this table'include'a class of expenditures much more deserving public favor than many of the bills reported. The riv rs and harbors ofV.e West in vain demand improvement.— While millions are expended in your coast surveys and Atlantic defences, you scruple •lose of the last war. Sir, institute a com-parison between the results of the first twen-ty- six years of our national goverment and of the late Administration. Constrast the his-tory, progress and growth of our county; con-trast its purity, its prosperity, its greatness during the administration of Jefferson, ol Washington, of Madison, and of Adams with that of Pierce,and then you maybe able to ap-preciate the rapid growth of our expendi-tures from the simple fact that four years ot modern Democratic administration cost more than twenty-sixvears in the earlier andpurcr days of the Republic. I have here Un-official table showing that fact: EXPENDITURES, EXCLUSIVE OF PUBLIC DF.I1T.

It shows a gradual increase of the expen-ditures of the government, until within a few years, and then a ijapid increase for the last few years, as eoinuared with former ratios of increase. Formerly, and prior to 1*40, the expenditures of tRe Government increased in Dot a slight degree more than 1 he ratio of population, and the extension of territory; but now it is going'far beyond [hat. CONTINOKNCIES—IN' IDF.NTAI.S-EXTKA AND MIS-Cxl I.ANEOUS. Now, when we go into the details of this expenditure, we liwd some of the most start-ling phases of political economy. Bet us take up, ior instanfe. tho item of contingent expenses of the HpUSO ami Senate. In 1840 the pay for the employees of both Houses of Congress amounted to $42,592 ; in 1857 it amounted to S150.000 ; and yet the number ol' persons composing the Congress of 1S40 and 1857 was substantially the same. I find that the incidental and contingent ex-penses of the Senate arose from 8100,000 to 8287,090; the incidental expences of the House from 8240.0iM) to 81,340,000. I find that the expenses Iff the President and the different Departments at the other end of the avenue have risen jfirom 8850,581 to 31,027,- 073. m I have before me a statement which I had tho temerity—for so the Chairman of the Committee on Wavs and Means regarded it —to read the other day. It is a table show-ing appropriations For the President and for his house, garden and grounds in 1840 and 1850: 1840. 1859 Salary §25,000 $25.<MM .Secretary, steward an.I messenger 4.000 Contingent expenses and stationary MO Purchasing plans for conservatory 1,000 Repairs and furniture, trees andplanls i... »--i« 4,166 12,000 1.SO0 OHO .'. 8,000 4.smi ...... 260 1,200 .... 1.200 press condition that tin city should donat to the Government a lot of ground for tin purposo,and mako out a clearand valid liti.

Unwilling to do that, some on this side voted for the Deficiency bill; but who can trace the expenditure of this money? INCREASE OF OFFICES. We were told yesterday by the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, that all these appropriations arc in pursuance of existing law. Now, I want him to answer at his leisure, how it comes that in 1852 there were employed in the collecting of the revenue 2,530 persona; and that in 1854, when the law had not been changed, there were employed in ihc various Custom Hous-es, 2,013 ; and in 1S57, 3,088 employees; and this before tho new tariff had gone into ope-ration? How comes this increase of 500 of-ficers in the Custom Housesa? Under what law was the increaso made? By what au-thority are these fresh leeches set upon the Treasury? Sir, a large portion of tho appro-priations annually made, depend simply up-on your will; and if you cut off the supply, the expenditure will cease without impairing even u single provision of law. THE REFORM MUST BK BY TITE HOIMB, Sir, retrenchment and reform are now matters of imperative necessity. It is not the mere cry of demagogues, but a problem demanding the attention and worty the high-est ability of the representatives of the peo-ple. Noparty is fit to govern this country which cannot solve it. It is in vain to look to executive officers for reform. Their pow-er and influence depend upon executive pat-ronage, and while we grant they will squan-der. The Senate is neither by the theory of our system, nor bv its composition fitted for the task. This House alone has the consti-tutional power to perfect a radical reform.— Tho Constitution provides that no money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law, and that all bills for raising revenue shall orignale in the House of Representatives.— These provisions were designed to invest in I would not allow these gallant mi where they are, yet 1 would eal dent to account tor having violated the p|iu ciplo and polity of our Government.

Put by the INN of their limited power to s sand, the] defeat the exclusive power >f tl 0 House. But Hot only that, the Senate, at this session, by di-rect usurpation, has exercised the power which the constitution confers upon I hit House alone. It has originated a loan I nil, sent it here,anil it is now upon the Speak r'- tahle. Is not a loan bill a bill for raising rev-enue? There mM some dispute as to appi .- UISSIJIIS bills being revenue bills, but there,HI be no doubt about this bill. If a loan bill is! no* a revenue bill, I do not know what is. 10 i k- Stone defines a revenue bill to include, .11 bills by which money is directed to lie cd upon tho suijcct, for nny purpose, a* .i nay shape whatsoever.

We have indirectly increased the salary and in-cidental expenses of the President from 829,- 000 to something like 800.000, that, too, in plain and direct violation of a clause of the Constitution which forbids any increase of the emoluments of*the Presidenl during his term. Another comparison will illustratothe increase ofexpenditures. I find by reference to a speech made ai the Senate, by Mr Tru-man Smith, (Congressional Globe, vol. 2:>, nose 124,) that the entire expense of the. printingfortho XXVIth Congress was S100,- S(i4, or $95,432 pea annum. I find, from a recent report <>t t&e Chairman of the Com-mittee on Printing, (Mr. Taylor.)_that the expense for the printing for the AAAllld Congress—famous, for its repeal of the.Mis-souri Compromise;—amounted to 18,025,827, or 81,512,!»1X per annum, or more than $10,- 000 to everv niomljer of both Houses of Con-gress. Such is th.i character of the increase fn that single item; alone. That was the ex-pense incurred for the printing ol the A.\A-II Id Congress, which, 1 think, was the most liberty in Kngland would long since have fallen under the despotism of the Crown. ABUSF.S ANH LSURl'ATION OF EXECUTIVE. By the exercise of this power we may hold the V.xcutivo and the Senate in check. Hut instead of using it, this House has, by slow degrees, allowed the other departments of the Government to evade and virtually over-throw its constitutional power. This change may be briefly illustrated. The theory of our Government is that a speific sum shall be appropriate by a law originating in this House, for a specific purpose, ami within a given iis.-al year. It is tho duty of tho Ex-ecutive t0 use that stun, and no more, express-ly for that purpose and no other, and within the time fixed. Such is the theory, but what is the practice? l.'nder a section of a law passod in August, IMS, which was designed only for that bill and for that year, the De-partment assume the power to transfer tho appropriations made lor one purpose, to any oiher purpose in the same Department, thus defeating aU checks. Without law they use money appropriated specifically for the ser-vices of one fiscal year to pay for the service of another fiscal year. A marked example of this occurred recently. Tho present Se-cretary of the Treasury took money appro-priated in March, 1855, for tlte expenses of the Territorial Legislature of Kansas for the rear ending June 80,1865, and in the face The expenses of this year, the first under Mr Buchanan's Adminfstrntion, will be five million of dollars more than the entire ex-penses of the Goverment from its foundation to the close of Jefferson's Administration. The aggregate expenses for the first twen-ty years of our Government were $78,868,- 702; and I have already year tho expenses exceed Sir, your Deficiency bill tomore than theaverageex eminent for the first forty y Your Miscellaneous bill am the aggregate expenses of anv oneyenr except theyears to'1830. We appropriated S'-" | eeUaneons purposes; and ye table, you will find that th ses of "the General Goverin the public debt, are much every year except during last war with Great Britain. I have another table here, carrying out the comparison instituted by the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Curry) the other day, in his very able speech, to which I listened with great pleasure. It contrasts expenditures disastrous in the history of our government,: ^ ft rt.1UH:ii'|,y Congress to appropriate moii-beeause it reopened a strife long before that , tl, SU|,|K)rt the bogus usurpring Legisla-ting settled, and inaugurated this wild sys- | t|Ve As,semble for the year ending Juno 30, tern of reckless expenditure which we will j ,s-)7i t()()k the balance of tho old appropn-lind so difficult to check. tjon un<l applied it to that purpose. Look, sir, at the miscellaneous items of ex- Another abuse by the Executive Depart-ed D| III nenditurcs. In the early reports ot the Sec-retary <>f the Treasury, the miscellaneous items were fow an-1 far between. But if «en- House of Lords to originate any money It was from that feature in the British stiliilion, that our Baths** modeled the vision inserted in tin-constitution of the i ted Suites; and the only difference bet w our law and the law of England is, that I Senate may a m-nd revenue bills, but 0U4 originate them.

authorizing a loan of $15,000,000. It is with
some reluctance that I trespass upon the
time of the House at this period of its ses-sion;
and I will make my remarks as brief

opportunity will occur, and T shall therefore
embrace the present.
PRESENT CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
On the first day of July last there was a
surplus of $17,710,114 in the Treasury. The
surplus lias been reduced to the shadow of a
shade. The Secretary of the Treasury in
December last, in a message calling for an
issue of $20,000,000 of the Treasury notes,
told us that in all probability but a small i
part, if any, of the amount would be needed j
at an early day; yet, now, we havo another j
message from tbatjsame officer, in which he .
tells us that,
third session of the Thirty-fourth Congress
872,112,21)8 were appropriated ; tor this year
I find that the Committee of Ways and
Means has increased this sum by detiiiency
bills amounting to $11,201,701, composed of
the following items:
Sound' dutic«. by treaty with Denmark $333,011
Printing, deficiency already passed .141,000
Balance of printing deficiency for this year
(estimated) 600,000
