For a peace footing, these estimates are very heavy. The
estimated expenditures for the fiscal year 1867, are as follows:

Pensions and Indians................................. 17,609,640
War Department.................................... 39,017,416

Interest on thle public debt..........................141,542,069
Total, exclusive of redemption of public debt..........$284,317,181
Arranging these estimates in tabular form, and comparing
them with the expenditures of previous years, they appear as
follows:

This comparison is very significant, and the most significant
of its many significant features, is the expenditures for the civil
service. Previous to the war, the Civil Service cost as follows:

Now that the war is over, and the expenditures necessary for
the Civil Service suffered to be materially reduced, it is estimated that they will be $43,565,512 for the fiscal year 1866,
and $42,165,599 for 1867.
Turning to the details of these expenditures, we find that
$23,465,155, or more than one haaf of the $44,765,558 expended in 1865, was for the following purposes:
$474,744,778
