I believe that there are many members of the House who do not understand to what year the gentleman from Indiana refers. This debate ranges over three years. For the present year the expenditure is unknown. The gentlemen refers to the last year. passed in June last. and we are now discussing the appropriation for the year to begin June next. The allowance made for increased demand is 5 per cent. only for each year. but it must be horne in mind that the population of Texas. in addition to the natural increase. has been very largely augmented by immigration.
