alfurplus monies distributed at the plea{;,re
OF the iecretaries, he wi(hed to fee brought
upon more equal and permanent footing.
but as the period of the felton, would not
admit OF iuch regulation, he thought it
would be bea for the enfuing year to all
low per centage Of about 10 per cent.
upon the prefent falaries. This would Ger
talnly be iuficient to meet the difference Of
living between this place and Philadelphia.
he ium propofed was IS per cent. upon
the ialaries, but 10 per cent. he thought
was futhcient.
Mr.. Leib withdrew his motion, on an
explanation taking place.
Mr.. Craill hoped the fun Of 1srer
cent. addition would be allowed. He be-
lleved that marketing in Philadelphia was
cheaper than here, and that here expences
were higher; for, from the diHance the
offices were from George town, nearer
than which the greateG number of the
clerks could not be accommodated, they
were often obliged to hire hacks, and
Tome OF them had engaged them by the
year. He believed the clerks now in place
were very adequate to their duty and it
was deiirable thing to keep them by Guit-
able Inducements, without which the pab-
lie bufinefs might remain undone, or done
with le1s exactneis.
Mr.. Macon had often heard of the great
danger of lofng perli n, Of talents and not
getting others in the place of them, if the
talary was too low, but he believed the
principle was a falle one. He believed
there never was vacancy but there were
plenty CT applicants to fill it from, and the
public buhneis never uttered from it as
he had heard of. He had not found that
difference Of living between Georgetown
and Philadelphia which fone gentlemen
apprehended. He rather thought that liv-
ing was fomewhat cheaper at Georgetown
than at Philadelphia, and therefore there
could be no location for advancing falaries
from that caufc. He hoped the whole of
it would be negatived He believed the
government would net lufer from it.
Mr.. Gallatin moved to Rrike out 7 {
per cent. and infert 10 per cent. which
was carried, and the amendment agreed
TO. The ienate afterwards notified Of
their concurrence in the amendment.
Motion was made to inicrt the aRihant
poh- matter general, but from the fuggef-
ton that the falary of that officer was not
fixed by law, it was Withdrawn.
Three hundred dollars addition was
made to the falary Of the chief clerk of
the navy department, by which that fala-
ry was made 500 dollars, in uniformity
with that of the chief clerks of the otEcr
departments.
Mr.. Macon made report from the com
mittee of claims, for TIE poRponement of
feveral petitions, ard for the difcharge of
that committee. This was agreed to, and
the papers returned Of one of the petition
ers, Jofeph Hodgfon, whoprayed eompen-

.omewhat fimilar to that greed upon in the
hou'e, after 10 mature a deliberation and@
dhcuii'on he wifhed tomb, to which
the houfe had given the name mau/sleumto
prevail, IN preference to a monument. He
objected alto upon mother ground, and that
was to the manner in which the expenditure

tie was not poheaed of a very accurate
itatement of the cxpence of monuments,
but he was certain this fun was extremely
inadequate. 100000 dollars would be
barely iutflcient, he believed, even to
erect monument of the fecond grade,
fuch as Weitminfter- Abbey was adorned
with an hundred of, in commemoration Of
iome brilliant action in captain. or &C
tome victory achieved by an admiral of a
fleet. $4,000 dollars would not erect
monument OF more than two figures in
itatuary, and iurely it would not be delir-
able to degrade the nation by tbs conduct.

unworthy the efforts of great nation 10
carry down to pofterity, the great actions
OF the greatef man. 1t mlttered not to
the name whom it was intended to com.

wilhed TO avoid the cenfure which futurity
would attach to conduct fuch as this, re-
ipeefing fuch a perfon.

FRIDAY, January 9.

MIR. Harper. The gentleman from
Kentucky in making his remarks on the
executive enquiry that will be made in
refped to the qualifications Of a candidate
for Office, has forgotten to fate one cir
cumfance. He has forgotten to fate, that
in appointments to Office, the choice Of
talents is altogether confined to men of
one Description Of politics. Though this
be the notorious fact, though men Of one
defcription of politics pofIefs the great
MATS of talents, yet it is certain that men
of this claf poaefs among themfelves
different and various degrees of talents.
Alexandria advertiser and commercial intelligencer. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1800-1803, 1801-01-17

The tendancy of this motion is to dll
federal judicial Offices with triAing char
acters, with men whole want of talents
and reputation would degrade the govern
ment and render it an object of contempt.
initead OF an objea of admiration and
affection.
1t the pride of Tenefee and other,
itates took alarm at the high falaries of
the federal judges, and to place themfelycs
on an equality, increaGcd the falary Of
their own judges to their tandard, he
ihould confder this effect as the Aronoe{f
argument in favor of the proviGons of the
Dill /; and 1t would be an evidence that
their pride entitled itfelf on the Gde Of
their understanding.
1t is In the administration of juRice, in
the application Of our laws to the interef,s
OF the people, that the benefits of the 90
vernment are felt and brought home to
them. Protecting by its ialutary ener-
gies the lives and the property of the citi-
zens, they feel a refpeet for the govern
ment from which they derive their lap-
port. Shall we then, feduced by ade-
celtful fpirit Of parGmony, after erecting
the fcaffolding Of our judicial fyfem, heG-
tate by the expenditure of a triAing addi-
onal iura to render the fyaem itlelf re-
fpsctable? Weighed with {uch an Object.
a few thoufand dollars was a paltry conf
deration.
1t was not denied that the expences of
living in fone itates were greater than in
others. But on this ground to graduade
a icale of computations would be to do
what no fate had done, and what would
inevitably produce unpleafant jealouGes.
Mr.. S. Smith was for a liberal, but not
profufe compensation; he was alto for ac-
commodating the compensation made to
the duties to be performed, and the expen-
ces o~fliving in the feveral aates.
Heretofore, when the falaries were low
er than thoie propofed by the bill, there
had been no want of talents. He faid
that i'll the fate of Maryland, the office of
diftria Judge had been twice fuccenively
filed by men Of the frt rate talents.
Mr.. Dennis oppoled the amendment as
it applied to all the judges. If it were
rejected he would propofe an amendments
for reducing the falaries of the judges Of
Kentucky and TenneHee.
MIR. Smile was in favor Of the amend
ment. In Penny lvania the judges ofthe
fuprene court received only 1000 dollars.
They were men equal in legal talents to
any in the union, and had to go into eve
ry county of the fate every year. 1t was
we'll underfood that 1000 dollars prefent-
ed no temptation to a lawyer at the bar
ofPhiladelphia, who was in full practice.
But did gentlemen fuppofe patriotifm to
be 10 low that all Our officers were aetuat-
ed by mere merccnary views?
MIR. Claiborne again rofe and went
over the ground of argument, declaring
that his with was to be frugal but not par
fimonious ; liberal but not profufe. He
was perluaded that in Tenne1ee FIVE iuits
