COMMENTS OF A READING CLERK ON THE PRESENT HOUSE ROLL. “The roll call of the House this Congress is the most difficult I have”ever seen,” sald Mr. Pettit, one of the readingclerks of the House, as he sat studying out the hard names. “The time wasted over these names during the session will amount to considerable. There is a great difference in the time taken to call the roll when the names run smoothly and musically. When they run like chop seas it takes almost twice as long. Listen to this: Lehlbach— La Follette—Loutitt—Romels—Stahlnecker—Van Schaich—and Outhwaite. In addition to this there are many doubles. There are two Adamses, two Allens, a pair of Andersons, a brace of Breckinridges, a trio of Browns, a quartet of Campbells, two Davidsons, two Gib- sons, two Greens, three Hendersons, two Jones’, two Johnsons and a Jobnaton; a pairof O'Neills, a Reed and a Reld, a pair of Stones, and four Taylors.

The Estimated Expenditures the Next Fiseal Year Exceed the Estimated Re- ceipts by Fifteen m Dollars— The Effect on Legislation. Rather astartling condition of affairs in re- lation to the estimates for the expenses of the gove.nment for the fiseal year 1886-7 has been discovered. It has been found that the esti- mates for expenditures for that year is in the neighborhood of fifteen millions of dollars in excess of the estimates of receipts during the same period. The receipts that may be expected hre estienated to be about $8 while the expenditures called for- wilt reach 9330,- 000,000. This puts an entirely new phase ‘upon the situation, and will probably _have a serious effect a roposed tgriff legisla tion. Should the esti be followed, there will thus be a serious deficiency which is due to general falling off'ot receipts. ‘he result will be that the House will be foreed to rigid economy in matters ot appro- priation, and the proposition to build @ navy, to construct fortifications, and many others in: volving the expenditure of large sums of money Will, of course, be affected by it.

Mr. Calhoun’s duties were of « two-fold character—to reorganize the bookkeeping sys- tem of the department, and to investigate the condition of accounts’and manner of doing business of the various bureaus. ‘The Secretary from time to time adopted certain recommen- Gations made by Mr. Calhoun in the matter of conducting the business ot the department, bat has as yet taken no action upon bis final re- port.
