Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, presented to the

aons :
1. Resolved, That it is expedient that
the annual expences of the government
should be reduced; that, for the accompe-
lishment of this object, it is further
2 Resolved, That all such offices as
are not immediately necessary for the
transaction of public business, and the abe
slition of which would not be detrimental
to the public interests, shall be abolished.
3. Resolved, That the salaries of all
civil officers whose compensation has been
increased since the year 1809, shall be re-
duced to what they were at that pe-
riod.
4. Resolved, That it is expedient to re-
duce the army to the number of six thous
and non-commissioned officers, musicians,
and privates, preserving such part of the
corps of engineers, without regard to that
number, as may be required by the pubs

of the general staff as may be required by

in proposed. ;
5. Resolved, That it is expedient that
the appropriations for the erection of fortis

less sum annually, by extending the time
within which they shall be completed.
6. Resolved, That the act making an
appropriation of one million of dollars per
annum for the increase of the navy be so
amended as to extend the time within which
such increase shall be made, and to reduce
the annual appropriation to the sum of five
hundred thousand dollars.

Mr. Cobb said, he had no intention to
bring on the discussion of them at this
time, having presented them by way of no-
tice to members, that they might be pre-
pared to discuss and decide on them when
called up. He was not even himself pre-
pared at this moment to give his views of
the subjects embraced in these resolutions,
nor did he know that the House ought to
'0 proceed th act on them, until it should
have received first, the annual report of the
secretary of the Treasury, and. secondly,
areport from the Secretary at War, requir=
ed by a resolution of the House at the last
Session, of a plan whereupon a reduction of
the army might be advantageously made.

which would enable him to call them up at
