services rendered by the officer were moro
than adequately compensated.
Mr.. Nicholson observed that the. gentle
man from PENNSYLVANIA was mistaken IN
saying that the attorney general was more
than compensated for his services. Mfr
~. could not say, with precision, what
those services were. But he knew that
there was scarcely a law in relatiohto the
revenue that did not come under the view
of this officer for his advice and opinion.
He knew that he was frequently called up
on by the heads of the departments Tor his
opinion of the construction OF laws. He
was also a member Of the Cabinet, and was
bound to give an opinion IN writing to the
President, whenever required. 1t Was,
therefore, absolutely necessary that this
officer should be a man of the first talents
and integrity. Mr.. N. was of opinion
that he ought to be a man Of eqaal talents
and integrity with those at the head of the
departments. Not however being obliged
to ~relinquish all professional pursuits, it
was not necessary that he should have an
equal salary with them.
For some time it had been the practice
of the government to compensate the attor-
ney general for extra services. For such
services, performed under the British trea-
ty he had been allowed 600 dollars. His
salary, with this additional compensation,
had never been heretofore considered a.
more than sufficient. 1t was true that bis
duties were not SO arduous as those of the
heads ofthe state and treasury departments,
but they require equal talents and integri-
ty and if the officer should be brought
from a distance, he ought to be enabled to
live comfortably.
Mr.. Goddard asked fthe 600 dollars,
alluded to by the gentleman from Mary
land, did not make part of the salary of
5000 dollars given the attorney general,
although the services for which the 600 dol
lars were allowed were at an end.
Mr.. Nicholson replied that the gentle
man was mistaken. The attorney general
had received $500 dollars since the year
1899, when the salary was raised to 5000
dollars.
Mr.. Goddard said he considered the aug
mentation of the salary from 2,4Oo to 5000
dollars as having arisen from the tempora-
ry duties of that officer, which augmenta.
ton was made by a temporary law.
Mr.. Nicholson. By an act passed in
1897, an additional compensation Of GOO
dollars was allowed this officer. In 1899,
his salary was fixed at 5000 dollars. He
accordingly received thereafter $500 dol
lars, until his temporary duties under the
English convention were completed.
The question to fill the blank with 5000
dollars was then carried in the affirmative
Ayes 69-Noes 50.
The remaining blanks in the bill were
thereupon filed, as We have already stat
