doubt that the cultivation Of this staple commodity

But what Chairman Of the Ways and Means
have we in the distinguished representative from
Accomac! There is deficiency Of nearly million
to meet the demand Of the collecting service. MIR.

services not absolutely needed; it is necessary
nevertheless TO turn hundreds out of employment
in order to comply with the law--com merce is suf.
fering-the merchants are furious-smuggling is
encouraged for the want of adequate means to sup
press 1.-THE President calls upon Congress sup
ply the defciency-and our enlightened Chairman
OF Ways and Means finds remedy for all this, in
the reduction of the hard earned salaries of the Of
icers of customs What statesman What a
financier What miracle of high legislator !!
We shall, no doubt, hear next from the same quar-
ter, of proposition to reduce the pay of members
of Congress! Cannot the Chairman manage to
make small saving in that way2 If $4,000 a
year be all sufficient for collector of New York,
then we contend that 50 day is large al
lowance for member of Congress. A saving of
four dollars day, per head, would amount to a
sum total of = 200, for all the members; and if
this session should be protracted to the full term Of
SIX months, as no doubt it will, the entire saving
would be about 100000 Let Mr.. Bayly, if he is
determined to razee, commence operations at home.
The tide walters, clerks, stevedores weighers and
measurers, &C., of the custom house, no doubt
work fully as hard for their money the members
of Congress We differ entirely from him in his
views of economy. We do not think eight dollars
day too much for legislator; but we contend
that he is fully as well paid the custom house
employee, and we contend that if there is to be re-
duction, that Mr.. Bayly ought to lead the way in
Congress, where it will reach himself Let him
take his own physic before he gives il to others.
