” GHEXPENDED APPROPRIATIONS. ing—Government Officials at Loggerhonas— Conftisting Opinions of the Acting Wasurncron, Sept. 7, 1870, ‘The Dinndering legislation of the last Congress, ‘which developed the unexpended balance muddle, Rasresuited in @ very spicy cenfict of opinion be- tween Acting Attorney General Talbert and Mr. R. ‘W. Taylor, the First Oomptrolier of the Treasury, Yesterday, tn reply to questions addressed by Acting Secretary of the Treasury Richardson, Mr. Talbert - gave an opinion practically reversing that of bis ehiel, Mr. Akerman, given on the 27tn of July to. the Secretary of War. ‘The following is that optmions— I find that of the particular works the expentlt- ture in tour instances 1s forbidden tv commence un- ‘Ul the happening of a contingent eveut; and tis tponement by law mukes thé appropriations in esd InsLances OUtlast the postpouement, whether that postponement does or does uot terminate before the fst day of July next following the 20th of April in which these Sppropripsions were mado, It 16 as though the statute had expressly provided that the expenaiture of the money appropriated to these contracts might commence wien the contracts therein mentioned should be executea, The object of appropriation in these instances are the buildings for a Cusiom House at St. aul, Minn.; the buiding for @ Court House and Post ofice in New York city; the building for a Post office, and Sub-Treasury in Boston, and the Marive Hospital at Chicago, Uyon these buildings expenditure 1s maste lawiul, “if need be,” aiter the close of the current fiscal year, by words whicn plainly indicate that there was no Congres. gional Mtent to himit those appropriations in duva- ton wo the close of the jast iiscal year. ln other words, I think that the real aim of ine proviso was not to give vo these appropriations any duretion Which oiher similar appropriations in the same vill had not, but that Congress, deeming that all like ap- Propiiations bad ionger Gurstiou of jaw than what the Ute and terms ‘of that enactment would appear to give 10 them, deemed it proper thos to posipone the commencement of ex- penditure in these particular cases, White, therefore, tuese appropriauons cannot be de- nied permanent appropriations, within tie meaning of this term, as delined by the Atiorney General m1 hig jetter of July 27, at Jeast they do appear to me be appropriations for particular objects, and to have duration of law ualil ihese spevilled ob,ecis are effected. They do not, in my opinion, till the secoud gondition mentioned in uns opinion of July 27; they are not made specifically for vie service of any iiscal year. Thus, not only do they uot fall witiun the pronibition of section 6 of the act of July 12, Is70, but also they are not really within the jmmitution expressed im the term of their own ehactment, ‘hey did, @$ Valid appropriations, lose their force with the ciose of the late year. ‘This conclusion 18 applied to ail appropriations in the act of Apri 20—the Jasi—for continning and completing the construction of public buildings im course of erection contained in that act, under the heading ‘““lreasury Department.’ 1b applies also to ail appropriations there found for furuiture where the building to be furnished is still in course of eree- tion, and where the occasion for furstshing might wot arise wiihin te current fiscal year, aud to ap- propriations ior the alterutions of and repairs or damage to public bulldiugs under the controi of the ‘reasury Departinent. {t must be considered as within the Knowledge of Congress that the sums thus appropriated could not properly—io a great ex- Vent could not possibiy—be expenticd in tne two months and a hait which at the time of We approy al of this act remained of the current fiscal ‘ear. The passage of another act io supply ie deliciencies of the fiscal year ening June 80, 1870, om July 15 followmg, tend to contirm the view, Such aa enactment coald not act “retroactively” upon an e2ependiture prior to July 1, 1870, save to legalize what had been done without authority of law—an intent too exceptional to be presumed to govern this part of the parpose of that act. -The concinsion reached also applies to all like appropriations for public buildmgs under the Trea- gury Department made in the act making appropria- tons for sundry civil expenses of the government for the year ending June ¥0, 1871, and for other pur- pone, approved July 15, 1570. Tuls. conclusion, as the later appropriations, rests not wholly, maluly even, upon reasoning applicable only to appropria- tions made in the Deucioney bill of April 20, 1870, it flue broader ground of support inthe fact that the ordimary open and nd torious Course Of adininisiration, erccutive and legislative, from carly days, has uniformly treated ~ Such appropriations as toy specific objocis, and ing duration of law until those objects are acoomplished, ihat appropriations of this class snould be made in & Deuciency bill may seem to be inconsistent Jegisiation, but ‘when found in a Deti- erency bili Baer’, near the close of the year, whose deficit the bill proposes to supply, they can have no practical force as appropriation unless tiey be con- sirued to be of this class, This construction. 15 necessary—it res raiiat—that the piain intent of Congress, the completion of these buiidings, may be executed. Hon. Caleb Cushing leuds the weight or bis opairon to this conclusion in the following remarks, appiied to appropriations not so clearly «made for specie objecis, instead of for a specific tume, as thore which 1 atm considering. He saja;— So in the case of the appropriations m and for a given for the pay of the ofiivers of the navy, or of the pay of cretary of the Navy himself, or aby of the clerks tn partinent, if by reason of the death or suspension of ollicers or vacancy 10 any of the places, the appropriations of that year prove to be in exeess, it is applicable to the sa continuous object during « supsequent year. ‘The above is believed to comprise answers snc! Tam at this time able to give to ail the q auldr2ssed me, Comptrolier Taylor had previously given an opinion ‘binding upon the department, taking pre- cisely opposite views of the law; and, accordingly, when he read to-day that of Mr, albert he became very iudignait aud immediately addressed the fol- lowing spicy letter to Acting Secretary Luchard- son:— TREASURY DEPARTMENT, | Finer Compo uae Ox, Sep 7, 1870. § Hon, WM.

No such approval has been endorsed upon Mr, 'Talbert’s opin- ton, and We may safely conclude that uo such en- dorsement will be made unui the Attorney General shall have withdrawn and reversed his own opinion addressed to the Seeretary of War July 27, 1870.

The Business Committee then presented the fol- lowing subect for discussion: “Method of raising money fov Assuctation Expenses.” The opentug remarks were wade by John Baldwin, of Newburg. He urged that always the good will of the ladies and clergymen should be obiained, for if the ladies’ good Will is not obiained they will put a siiiel husbands’ pockets. Messra, Holines, Buc! » Hall, Maithews, iuriburt, Ven Pelt, Martin, Cain and others Joined in the discussion, Tneglected to mention that after the report of the doings.of tue association were read, some allusion was made to the work of the Saratoga Springs As- sociation in its yaid on Morriasey’s gambling saloon. Mr. Martin, of Brooklyn, said that that work had been effecturtiy accomplished, as he had been In- formed that Mr. Morrissey had been placed under bonds. It was a task wien flulshed which aston- isiied the visitors at the Springs, and which had Strengthened the church. At the close of Mr. Martin’s remarks, a gleam of satisiaction was noticed throughout the entire convention. But, to return to the discussion, All the speakers seemed to agree iusaying that the individual members of associations nus Rey out money towards deiraying expenses, in addition to receipts obtained from Fee meetings, fairs, lectures, subseripuons, &c, udging from ail the discussion, the association at Falton. @ young one, 185 in excellent financial con- diuion, At noon the convention took @ recess till three o'clock P.M, Afternoon Session, At three o'clock P.M.

Mr. W. M. MARTIN, of Brookiin, thought some of the musical and entertainment committee were better flited to open the subject than he. Brooklyn thinks young mon should be treated as young mien to draw thom to the meetings, Years ago there were a variety OL entertainments given; the rooms then were ¢leared for a promennde and conversa. lon and it was @ success.

He was in favor of the Association having an organ such as the As- sociation Monthly. That inet was heartily en- dorsed at the Indianapolis Convention, all beltoving it fairly represented the associations, It is née for instruction, needed for the young mon who join, and needed to give tnformation to persons ontside. Jt 18 also needed to give to the world tne honest opinions of the organization and to correct errors published in other papers relative to the assocla+ tion, He urged delegates to circulate tlie Associa- tion Monthly, speaking very eloquently and belng listened to with inarked attention, Mr. Pia‘ snid the paper has never been a charge to associations, but las been conducted by the xe- cutive Vomit Mr. MATTHEWS offered the following, which was referred to the Comuitiee on Resolutions: — Resolved, That we believe firmly in the necessity of main- taiving a periods the organ of our associations and that each of us will do al!

A. Hall, of Washington, D. C., pro- bably as rapid a speaker as there fs on the Conti- nent, commenced the discussion, and with astonish: ing rapidity and much eloquence and feeling urged that such meetings be estainished all over the State. Mr. Ba pwin, of Newburg, could talk ubout boys and children from Monday morning til Saturday night. Hespoke forcibly and to the point, He be- betleved in young converts’ associations, but he would uot have the boys’ socteties joined with tie societies of older ones, Mr. Martin, of Brooklyn, said that tn his elty they have a boys’ and girls’ gathering every Satui- day, and related incidents therewith.

He had been in towu all summer, and he had been confirmed tn his idea that keeping the schools open until the last week in July was decidedly Improper. That the poor people in the lower watds, whom it was intended to benefit by keeping the schools open, seemed generally to act on the princi- pal that their children were better running around in the open air than they would be closed up in the school houses.

In fact, nothing has been spared that covld in the slightest degree contribute to the speed of the differ- ent vessels, 80 that tnere can scarcely be much foundation for excuse, Almost every yacht owner whose vess¢l is entered expects to carry off the prize, and the excitement will far exceed that at- tendant upon any contest during the year. Although many claim that the victory will rest between three or four vessels, those who are thoroughiy posted seem to think that such an opinion is ex- tremely fallacious, since there are many circum: stances in yacht racing, including such things as luck and chance, that may rob the deserving racer of her prize, But im tke contest to-morrow there Will unquestionably be less of those elements than tn most of the races that have already taken place, and those whose grounds of confident an- ticipation are based upon the genuine and well known merits of thelr crafts are, more than all others delighted at the favorable prospects of a strong breeze avd a triangular course, Should te Cambria win her victory will be more or less de- cisive; and should she fail to carry off the laurels It will not be her fault, since everything has been done to her that could at all increase her swlitness, Phen there will be the Sappho, Idler, Dauntiess, Palmer, Phantom, Madeleine, Halcyon, Tidal Wave, Vesta, Calypso and others which are expected here to-night or early in the morning. In fine no regatta for many years past has such briiitant pros. pects. [twill result in demonstrating the relative speed of our vessels, and itis reasonably believed that the fastest time on record wiil be made. The course wiil cover a space of over sixty miles, and most of the sailing will donbtiess be on the wind, a clreumstance that canuot fall to give genuine satis- faction to al! partics, It is right to mention that the Magic wil! not enter the race, being obliged to ro on the ways to-morrow morning to cleared. Sbe will participate, how- ever, in th @ on Baturday next for the prize pre- sented by Mr. Ashbury. The eetwing will prob- ably not race until Friday. Among the yachts which arrived to-day were the Cambria. from Providence, wheré she was on the ways, She is pot leaded to the sli plank, and from all appearances intends not to be behind. Thorouchly cleaned and fitted out for the race she will make a formidable adversary for most of the Contestants, and there ig reasou to think that, if not the winr she will be among tho leading vessels, A great favorite is the Sappho, and as the course is somewhat favorable to jarge vessel, she will doubtless make her mark. knowing what turn eveuts may take. The contests of yachtmen in ail countries have shown up the freaks of wind and tide; bat with good seamanship the deserving vessel will surely merit a genuine recoguition jut little remains to be said. The public interest and excitement in regard to ine con- tests is largely on the increase, The race for the jitizens’ Cup” will naturally create the greatest amount of anxie! It ig the first ume that such a handsome gift has been made in this city; but it seems that this is only the forerunner of future yearly testimonials of the high appreciation ln which the members of the club are held. Mr. J. B. Weaver, of the Ocean House, will make the presentation 10 benali of the inhanftants to-morrow, and the con- test will probably take place on Tuesday next. The prize is of exquisite workmanship ; but, apart from its intrinsic value, the honor of wiantug it will, of course, be far more accept. ble to the victor. The harbor is now crowded with pleasure craft of every description, including yachia from different ports, Among the steam yachts are the Edgar Stuart and ihe Young America, of Boston. The latter is owned by Mr. J. M. Hallenbeck, and is an extremety swift and pretty little craft. ier frame is of one solid piece, and she 18 built en- tively of bent timber. She 18 but a litte over seven tona burden, besides over thirteen horse power, ‘There are other handsome yachts in the harbor, and the scene presented to-day was very animated. Steamers have been chartered to ac- company the yachts, and the numerous visitors will be alforded the opportunity of witnessing perhaps the best racing ever scen li the couatry. The start jor the contest to-morrow will take place about eight o’clock. The following yachts are now inthe harbor, the remainder of the fleet being momentarily expected:—Cambria, Sappho, Vesta, Magic, Dauntless, Caly)so, Fleetwing, Idler, Josepuine, Madgie, Phantom, Madeleine, Tidal Wave, Pee and the sloop yacht Gracie. Speculation is rife aa to the winner, amd the betting 13 actively imolng on in the city to-night. A splendid breeze is now blowing from the northwest, and ali agree that it will continue.

Match Between the First Elevens of the New York and St. George Cricket Clubs—Base Ball Players Scoring Best=—The Day's Scoring. ‘The return match between the two first clevens of the New York and the St. George Cricket Clubs was commenced yesterday morning, at the grounds of the latter club, in Hudson City, N. J. The weather was exceedingly favorable for the game throughout the day, being sunny but not too hot to aamit of activity without fatigue; and the men on both sides appeared to appreciate the clemency of the atmos- phere, for they played with great spirit, and dis. played their varied talents to the best advantage, There was, however, @ remarkable absence of visitor in the grounds, so much so that it was con- stantly @ matter for comment throughout the day by the members of the ciub, aud what few gentlemen there were present, there being at no time during the period the wickets were up more than thirty persons on the ground witnessing the progress of the game. ‘rhe members of the clubs appeared to be in excel. lent condition and several of them made very astonishing hits and runs. The bowling aiso was splendidly regular ard remarkably true throughout; leg from the back stroke of # ball. ‘There is one thing which appears remarkable with regard to the game so far as it has peen played, viz, (hat the two best innings were made by two Americans, bot of whom are considered good base ball players. Hatfleid, one of the two rejerved to, in his tpuing for the St. George Club, scored titty: four runs before he conid be caught out, although it was stated he had had littie or no practice for a long time past; in fact, his scove was the highest of the day. Rogerson, who is the secretary of the New York Club, nthe himself an excellent bowler, making his throws with great precision, and giving the batmen also excellent chances of obtaluing runs. Eastman aiso bowled steadily and well. ‘The first eleven wickets were played by the St. George Ciub by about four o’ciock, when, after a short interval, the bell rang the New York Club out. to the wickets, and up to six o’clock they had finished five out of their eleven, with apparently very fair success, although it would b3 premature to utter any predicttous until to-morrow, when the game will probably Le concluded, The following is the ecor ® Oe GEORGE'S, NEW YORKER, Ru Runs Cooper, @.
