COke2rRSS.

The Albany Daily Register, thus speaks Of the
state of things at Washington:
"That the worst kind of moral atmosphere
pervades the Aas of Congress, there can be no
doubt. When the Kentucky member gave as the
real reason he wanted TO be reelected to Congress-
that he "cOuId make great deal of money! he
in the most comprehensive language that could
possibly be employed told the whole stale Of the
case. "A great deal Of money" some members
undoubtedly make. At the same time it is the
subject Of complaint that the regular pay Of eight
dollars per day is not equal to the necessary cx-
penses. There has been bill Introduced 10
increase the pay to sixteen dollars. How do
members OF Congress, then, make '' great deal
of money!" We have heard of grand schemes
Of plumber, the details Of which are so monstrous
that we cannot bring mind TO believe that the
seemingly well authenticated statements can be
true. If one half we hear be true, Presi-
dent Pierce, independent Of the merits Of the
question, had abundant reason for placing
his veto on The Spoliation Bill, and by so doing
has quashed the most monstrous scheme that ever
was devised.
$ 1t is a lamentable fact that measures Of great
merit have fallen INTO the hands Of the lobby, who
farm them out, to I" make great deal of money"
Matters have come to such pass that it is almost
an inevitable consequence, that certain per cent
age OF all moneys, however meritoricusIy nppro-
prlated, must be PAID 10 a certain number OF mem
bers and outsiders, who combine 10 form a ring,
to put up or down bills, just as the pay happens TO
be. 1t Is said that our own State has the fortune
of being represented IN that ring, by gentleman
of considerable political, and certain kind Of To-
cal financial distinction. Some of his conGrder-
ates-a good share OF them it is said-were
schooled al our State Capital, where matters are
carried on in just corrupt way as al Wash
