In briefly renewing the administration of the treasury from April, 1865, he did not think it necessary to state how much of the large revenue receipts had been expended in the payment of debts incurred during-the war; and he would not undertake to do it now did not misapprehension exist in the public mindin regard to the expenditures of the government since the conclu sion of hostilities, prejudicial to both the law-making and law-executing branches of the government.
