10 the Editor of The Madisonian:

Sin: The editorial in the National lntellgencer oil
Wednesday is special pleading to your charge Oh ne
gigence and inattenton to the business OF legislation
by Congress at its late session.
Adopting some of the statements IN The EDITORIAL
Congress may be charged with the following enor-
miles of legislation their session just terminatedi
~, which If no corrective can be found in the
,ighffl apprehensons and jealousies OF the people,
there is ground TO fear their ncapaciiy for segoy-
eminent.
There are 294 Senators and Representatives, Qhe
Sneaker receiving double pay,) at eight dollars per
diem Iegislating for the nation they have been in
session 269 days; their pay amounted to S69i,o4O
and mileage say, S50,OOO-total, S744 $40 for
which they have rendered the following equivalents
1893 reports, averaging 1918 each-6l0 bills report
ed averaging 81 ,22l each-and 299 bills passed. av
eraging g., 1913 each. Had it not been for the one
hour system, too seldom adopted, these respective
amounts would be augmented, and if the expenses
Incidental to the legislation of Congress were added,
as they should be, in order to be scrupulously exact
the increase would be fifty to seventy-fve per cent
for each,-so that every "report" made, would cost
the nation at the lowest calculation, Sl,OO0-every
''bill' reported, Sls00-and every 'billn passed,
$1,000 When we reflect, how many bills passed
private claims, of small amount, and do not in
vove any principle but that Of equity or justice it
seems almost incredible that such facts should exist,
yet they irreragabe, and fear almost as IRENE
diable-uness the People in their majesty, and arm
of power in the ballot box free themselves from the
thraldom of the Congress of the nation, which can
pass only 299 acts in 800 days-not equal small and
great, obvious or complicated, to one act for each
member of the two Houses whilst numerous claims
of pressing urgency, and clear as the light are post
poned from session to session, for years These facts
are the banefu fruit of majority, who would beggar
the National Treasury, unless they could at the same
time enrich the treasures of the States
