New Qamnanaation Bill.


When the Ss per day pay Of Congress
men vas made law forty years ago, il
was, relatively, twice as high pay as it is TO-
day-so great have the prices of living,
&s., at Washington, increased. In aaai'
tiion to this, there have been Books (othel
than public dcouments,) voted annually
to Members, which sell and were some
times sold for $1,000 to $500 per year.
Under this state of thing, the pay Of a
member of Congress was uncertain.
Another evil constantly increasing was
the practice Of Members absenting them
selves from their duties. We have i,
from good authority that at the late ses.
sion Asa Packer, a Buchanan member
from this State, was not in his seat more
than thirty days during the whole session,
aud are we'll advised that one session,
while L. c. Levin was in Congress he was
present only four times in tho House du.
ring the year. Such cases weae numer-
ous. Members attended to their business
at home and took their pay, books and
oil, while they rendered the people not
the least service, unless their absence was
benefit 10 the public.
These evils demanded correction, and
the last Congress undertook the task. On
the 10Th of August, an act originating in
the Buchanan Senate, was passed and
signed by the Buchanan President, that
members of Congress shall receive $4,000
a year, no matter how long they sit. This
act also provides that for every day a
member is out of his seat, sunless i'll case
of sickness, a pro rata share Of his pay
shall be deducted from his wages. 1t also
further provides that hereafter mem5er.
of Congress shall pay for such tooLs ous
Of tier own money. This act is regarded
by men Of al! parties, acquainted with tho
facts, as great improvement on the old
system. Now the people know what their
members really do receive, and they know
too tina. if they do not attend to their bu-
siness they get no pay whatever. This
act was voted for By members Of all par!
ties, and has received the approval of the
press of all parties, as likely to make the
sessions shorter.
Whether the new law will really b.
moro expensive than the old one, is yet to
be tried. II found not to work well, it
of course can be changed.
SUI But now mark the dupiici.y Of the
Locofoco Buchanan. Slavoc. stic party. This
act originated III their Senate, received the
votes Of most Of their Members, and was
approved by their President. And now
they have the littleness-the contemplate
meanness-to conceal the most importan!
provisions Of the bill, and try to raise an
outcry against the Republican members
who approved with them) the new com.
pensatiou act! They defend and sustain
their Members who voted for it, and de-
nounce anu ueiie auu siauuU0 ,nu I.epub
licans who voted for ito Shame
where is thy blush ?"
