expenditure of the Sute governinent,
and I tuny as well occupy tlm ntton-

at ny other time.
In my opinion, a reduction ol me

as in order to do so, we must com

1 now come to the snhjrct of the
specific amendment offered to this
Bcclinn.
'J'ho Rtuto Treasurer, instoad of
needing nn increase of salary, should
ho required to account liir his Ill-gotten
gains. He has held the best office
in the State. The use of tho funds of
tho Treasury has grown to no un
uhuse, and common lame tells us Unit
largo sums change hands in securing
the pluco and tho perquisites of this
poorly salaried office.
In tho light of that common fame
as to the use of tho moneys of the
State, let us look at the fuels shown
by tho report for tho past two years :
By the report of the Slate Treasur
er for tho year ending Dcccnihar 1st,
1SC7, it is demonstrated that the
worthy gentleman who occupied tho
place hud in his hands, (luring nil of
that veer, nn avtrngt monthly balance
o t?M"f 8.J14. With tho natural ca
pacity of a smart financier it is rea
sonable to suppose that at least one
half of this could be r?i,ii" to pay, and
if it was, at the moderate rule of six
per cent., tho net profits for that year
would bo about jjR'i ,""o. Jui
por cent, would net satisfy ono who
could as readily command ten, and it
is lair to presume that that year net
ted to the incumbent of the Treasury
at lent $175,000. This, too, upou
one-half of the actual average balance,
whilst the remaining hall could be
conveniently left on deposit with fa
vorite banks, or banks controlled by
men who helped to elect the Treas
urer. Last year was not bo lucrative in
its iiick'inL's, for by the report laid
npon our desks for the year ending
December 1 fft. 1 Ht;,Di is found that the
average monthly balance in the hands
. ,. c. . r..- .,.. . ; at
111 IIIU i-tillO lll-4rilivi low """J -
- ; " ' Y "
IQ lltl lit l M 'II H HO". "V .....v
half thereof, at six per cent., yields a
nett revenue of about 80!i,0(l, whilst
at ten per cent, it will only yield
?ll.rV'l50.
These things nnd their financial de
tails are well understood by the poli
ticians who seek and enjoy this otlieo,
and it is time a remedy was applied
to stop tho two evils consequent upon
l the present system ; the one the loss
! to the State artl gain to her oflicers
i from a contraband source; the other
tlio inevitable corruption conse.
I rjuciil npon a scramble lor su lucrative
a place.
1 now propose to examine a subject
directly connected with tho pickings
of the Treasury and ad'ecling the
public debt and the yearly expendi
tures of the government. I mean, sir,
the subject of thejlonn of 1107 to fund
the debt of the Commonwealth. That
loan originated in tho Treasury. Il
was proposed under the specious pre
textof lilting our overdue debt and of
fixing it so its to meet it at malurity.
The net fortbot pnrjiose was approved
February 2, 1807, and r'f increased the
rate rf ivt,rent upon the v hole of our
delit from fire to sir per ernt. Let its
look us look nt it in its practical re
sults and as bearing upon the finances
ol the Commonwealth and the interest
she must pav nnd the loss she has
already sustained :

Thus showing that under this ar

compelled to pity 8'14,0(',3 more inter
est than alio did the year beloro ils
passage, w hich is equal to an increase
in the debt ol neatly two millions.
In the year ending December 1 ft ,

change nf the law, the amount of in
teres! actually paid upon the debt was
81,M'2,li.r. In 1MG7, the year niter

If one-half of this w as paid in D'07

is to be added to the former sum.

I now address myself to an exami
nation of the debt as it stood in 8(i0,
and as it stands now ; to the amounts
received in the Treasury during tho
years since, aod to the expenses of
the government lor mo same iimo.
Our investigation into tho subject of
our liabilities then and nowjot our
expenditures in the process of time,
nnd of the total assets received, will
show us whither wo aro tending and
the necessity for stopping tha leaks.
Tho official statement shows tho
debt now to bo ?;iJ,2sti,K4G. On the

during those years, and how the ex.

What hits become of these vast

Mr. ErtRKT?. Does the amount of

Mr Wallace. No st. It did not
come into the report of tho debt until
18f,, and I gave tbe amount of the
debt on Dec. 1st, fliO.
Mr. Ehrvtt. Tho Senator takes
tho siatement ol tho debt before the
wnr loan Jwns concluded, leaving out
of the calculation tho war loan which
w added to the debt in 100.
Mr. Wallace.. No, it was added in

f.iels to which I liavo desired to tall
tho attention of Senators. These ex
penes aro greater for tho past I h roe

from year to year continually. Thty
arc greater in than they wore in

and to its reform il is our iiniative
duly to address ourselves, not as par

interests of tho Stale. Can there he
any reason for it. save tho truth of the
assertion that men who once obtain

nnd to this they must devote them
selves, nnd in every legitimate effort
in that direction they shall have, my
aid find my vote. This is an enor
mous excrescence and it 6hould bo re
moved. There is no reason why the
expenses of 1808 bbould bo II45.G51
moro than in 18'8. It is an increaso
of moro than 1 10 per cent.
Our Legislative expenses have more
than doubled since 100. The expen
ses ol the Senate exclusive of the pay
of Senators and Committees in the
last year were 800,500, whilst in 1800
they wero $25,1)83, shewing an in
crease of more than 133 per cent, or
834.517-
Tho expenses of the house exclusive
of thcpity of members and committees
lust j ear were tizu.uiH, wiiiisi in ibou
they were 844,700, ahowingan increase
of moro than H80 percent, or 870,089
The aggregate increase npoD these
two items alone, is 8115,810.
These expenses have grown to be
frightlul, and I have carefully item
ised the whole subject as for.nd in the
Treasurer's report since 1858. It
shows the following state of facts:

From this it is seen that tho total
number of officers have neurly quad
rupled, and tho cost thereof to the
Slato has increased nioro than six
times in ton years. Jn 185R, 1859
and 1800 these officers cost tho Slate
875,801, whilst in 1806, 1X07 and 18011
they cost it 1294,112, showing a tolal
increase to the people of 8218,811.
Here wo find an alarming increase
si ice tho war. In tho last year of
the war, thirty-seven employees were
enongh for tho House, whilst in 18G8
it required ninety-two to serve them.
Theso fuels are deduced from the
Hreord, and I lay Ihcm bare that we
mny apply the necessary remedy and
lop off tne extravagance. These cur
rent expenses fun be reduced, and it
only requires a face of flint by the
party in power againFt these increas
es, and they tci7 bp reduced.
An inquiry into the subject of the
eost of the public printing develops a
frightful increase in its proportions :

To meet these constantlyincrensing
