WASHINGTON, July 17, 1874, First Comptroller Taylor has addressed the fol- | lowing tu Acting Secretary of the ‘reasury | Conant :— Your letter of the 10th inst., asking my opinion on several points relative to tue construction of certain provisions in tue Appropriation acts oi be late session of Congress has been received. Firsi—Does the litth section of the Legisiative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation act, ap- proved June 20, 1874, repeal that portion of the section of the act approved June 16, 1874, which | excepts from the surplus iund unexpended balances certified oy the prover auditor to be | necessary in the settlement of accounts reported | to him oy the Quartermaster’s and Commissary departments? Section 5 of the act of June 20 in effect repeals 80 much Of section 2 of the act of June 16 as 1s 1n- consistent with 1t8 provisions. Section 2 of the act of Juue 16 related to appropriations tor Quar- termaster’s and Uommissary departments, but ex- cepted from its operation moneys necessary to pay accounts reported by the Quartermaster'’s and | Commissary derariments and in process of sertie- ment in the ojfice of the proper auditor, The filth nection of the act of June 20 reiates to and re- | quires all unexpended balances of Sep ounsnose | wit halt have remained upon the books o1 the Treasury ior two tiscal years to be carried to the | | surplus fund and covered into the Treasury, with @ proviso exempting certain appropriations irom its operation, but not including those mentioned in the exception in article 2 of the act ot June 16, In this respect the two sections ure inconsistent. and the last in date must prevail. Second—Whbat constitutes the permanent, spe- | citic appropriations wich are to conanue avail- able until otherwise ordered by Conwress, under tne first proviso of the fiita section of the act of | dune 20, LsT4? It is not necessary to name each appropriation which may be deemed a permanent, specillc ap- propriation; but {understand the term to mean and embrace appropriations for continuing service to be used untu lurvier action of Congress, aud the appropriations to continue until the comple- tion of the work or service ior which they are made. Appropriations for the coliection of reve- hues irom custums, ior the payment of interest on the pubiic debt, for steamboat inspectors, for , mari.e hospital service, for refunding duties, &c., are to be decmed peimanent, The first consists of afixedsum for each six mouths, the second of such @ sum a8 may be Necessary, and the turd and fourth oi certain specified revenues. Those are examples.

It is | evident Congress used the word “contract” in a limited sense, certainly not in a very broad one, lam oi the opinion that Congress meant valid, written contracts existing and 10 course of exec jion and untultided June 20, 1874. Ibis clear that Congress did not mean all unpaid labilities stand- ing 1p contracts, for that would inciude everything atid be fncon-is'cnt with the limit wich Congress evidentiy inieaded to impose, The contracts | | | | | referred = to should also be consistent wit the provisions of the fifth, sixth and seventu sections of the act of 1570, tor those provisions stili remain in force, with the added restrictions of tie filth section of the act of June 20, 1874, and are to be considered in coastru- ing the latter, so that the contracts provided tor must have been properly made within the year or Period to which the appropriations respecively retate, ‘This substantially answers the letter of the nd Auditor of the loth inst., referred to this | oitice, as well as yours of the saine date.

Several children have been bitten whose names are unknown, and it is to be hoped that their pames will never be brought to public notice as victims to swell the unhappy list of hydrophobial disasters of this year, In ali parts of the city are to be seen dogs roaming abroad, unmuzzied and masterless, Kabies in its early stages 18 subtle aud difficuit of diaguosis, and animals afMiicted witn it snould at once be taken to the pound and the owners, it discovered, — heavily fined. No dog whatsoever snould be allowed abroad without a sufticieatly protective muzzie. The danger 1s no vain one, hor is the terror a false alarm. Preven- tion is much better than cure, and by adopting such an easy means of ce.ence a feeting of some reasonable security may tend to lessen the univer- sal nervous horror Which Dow harasses the public mind, A mad dog was shot yesterday morning by Ofticer Jacobs, of the Fiteenth preciuct, at Nu. 114 Sixth avenue. “grangers’ on the railroads, received a severe shock the other day in Wall street, when the tele- gram of Governor Davis, asking ihe War Depart | ment sor the commutation of our quota of arms | to food rations was communicated to the Associated | , Press, Wall street seems to have at once jumped to | | Mie absurd conclusion that, because the grasshop- | | pers had been doing a great deal of damage in Min- | | nesota, the greater part of the wheat crop had been swept away.
