tion, from the 18th Of June tothe 10th of
November, in the year 1900, at eight
dol ars per day. From the account ex-
hibited by Mr.. Tracy for eA,ences it
will be feen, that during thefe FIVE months,
he vifted Pittlburg, Prefque lie, Nigga
IA, Detroit aud Michi!Iimachinac, but,
did not fulfil the other oojett of his milton.
The committee cannot forbe!r TO re-
mark, that Mr.. Tracy's acceptance
Of this appointment has the Appearance at
leat, OF inconfiRency with tina, part of the
contribution, which provides, that no per-
fon, baiIiag an Wfite xnder tie UaHed
State,, ihall be a member of either hoafe
of Congress-" Mr.. Tracy was, at the
time Of receiving the appointment, during
the whole of its continuance, and has ever
,fnce been a member of the fenate- of the
United States /, and from an iudPestion
OF the payroll of the fenate, the commit
tee find, that, for the laf levenseen days
of the FIVE months for his fervice under
the above appointment, he not only had
his expencs borne by the public, to a on
6derable amount, and received Ike
wife eish, dollars per day, but that
he at they fame time received, as a mem
Der of the %fcnate. fix dollars per day, for
travelling from Litchdeld, in Connecticut,
to the feat Of Government, a diitance OF
three hundred and forty four miles /; twen-
,y miles being allowed for travelling one

:" James M'H,nry, Efq. former fe.
cretary of war, reigned that office, it is
believed, in the month of May, 1900,
and the docum.n, marked tR.l hereto
annexed, fhews that, in the month of
April preceding, Mrs. Ariana French,
;Ieaied a hoafe to him for one Year, to
commence from the hrif of une following +:
that an award was made between the par
ties, by which it was declared that MIR.
M'Henry hould pay to Mrs. French, two
hundred and eight dollars and ninety
five cents, for damages faaained by her,
by reaion o his not occupying her houie,
agreeable to the CONTRACT /; and that, in
conformity to..he oPinions fine leeretary
of the treafury and the fecretary OF The
navy, and by the direction CT ,he fecretaTy'
of war, this fun was paid to Mrs. French,
GU, of the fund for d.fraying tie c%ontin->
gen, expences of the war department"
The ideas TO be collected from this mar
sasive, IN reflect to MIR. Tracy, are
tina, this gentleman /; while a fenator of the
United States, received an appointment,
which has the APPEARANCE of inconfftency
with the contribution that but a fmali
proportion of the duty aligned was per@
formed ; that an extepfive allowance has
been made for his f~ervices as AGENT, and
