  Have you read this guide?

  Show hierarchy – If you have parent and child categories (subcategories within main categories) you can choose to display the hierarchy (pictured below) or just leave the list “flat,” without indicating which subcategories fit inside your main categories (pictured above). You can show category hierarchies with both the list and dropdown menu formats. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/categories-widget/

  You have only two categories. Each one is a parent category.

  General Appropriations Acts

  In order for the category widget to show hierarchy you must designate some categories as child categories.

  Do you want one to be a parent category and the other a child?

  Or do you want each of those parent cats to have child cats?
  If so, then you need to have at least one post assigned to the child category.
