GOV. BOUCIC'S OLD WHITE HORSE

urer of the city of New York are faraili

may know tomrthmg orlns "old white
horse" we copy the following from the
new York Suk Dollar Newspaper.
The oW while horse is now about fificn
years of age but quite biisk and lively.
He was first introduced to the people of
Scoharie county in the the State election in
1S42. When Mr. Bouck accepted" the
eomination as governor be started on tne
old "while horse on a 'pilgrimage amoog
the moantains. The rood Duch people
turned out to meal him in every direction
and the Governor would' address them in
tlieir native Dutch which ha speaks with
great fluency. His perch was alway? the
same at eveytown and the old horse got
so well acquainted with if I hit ho knew
exactly when his master" had finished. Ai
the end of the speech he would lead off with
a regular horse laugh which was tne sig-
nal for a hurra from the audience His
wonderful sagacity was the general talk;
and the accounts spread among the bills in
advance of the Governor positively asserted
that the horse "shpoie te low Dotch like a
pook." this increased the excitement.
Sentinels were posted on the bill tops to
warn the villagers ot tho Governors ap-
pearance so that all might have a chance to
see the old white horse. So the Governor
was elected by an overwhelmingrnajority.
and to ibis day the good Dutch people of
the bcboharie Moun'ams will tell yan that "
Gov Pouck's old vite horse spbeaks ielow
Dotch like a pook." This valuable animal

In order that timely notTee may be given

I important that the authority of Congress to
make it be givenat an early period of your
present session. It Is snggesd thatT tbejoau
should be contracted for a period of twenty
years with authority to purchase the stock
and pay it o(T an earlier period at its mar-
ket value out ofany surplus which may at
any lime be in the Treasury applicable to
that purpose. After theestablisbment of peace
with .Mexico.it is supposed that a considerable
surplus will exist and that the debt may bo
extinguished ia a much shorter period than
tthat for which it may be contracted! Tfce
period of twenty years as thitfor which the
me proposea loan may oe contracted jn pre-
ference to a shorter period is suggested bc-
caujo'all experience bcih at homeand a-
broad has shown that loans are r fleeted up-
on much better terms upon long time than
when they are reimbuisabfo at short dates.
Necessary" as this measure is to sustain
the honor and the inurest of the country en-
gaged hi a foreign war it is not doubted but
that Congress will promptly authorize it.
Tha balance in the Treasury oa the first
of July last exceeded nine mitfions of dollars

Economy in the public expenditures is
at all times a high duly which all public
functionanes cf the government owe to tho
people. This duty becomes the more iin.
perative in a period of war when large and
extraordinary .expenditures become unavoid-
able. During the existence cf the wr h
McxEco all our resources should be husban-
dtd and n(J tftnplMo made t
such as are absolutely nccewary for its vig-
orous prosecution and the due administra-
tion of the Government. Objects of appropri-
ation which in peace may be deemed useful
or proper but which are not indtspensablo
for the public service miy when the coun-
try is engaged ia a foreign war be well
postponed to a future period. By the ob-
