LEGISLATIVE ExPENsEs.-Somep per-
s,ns, anxious to justify the last Legisla-
ture for raising their own pay to salary
of $500, have contended that it did not
increase the aggregate expenses of the
Legislature. That this is falacious is
sufficiently proved by the returns of the
treasury department for 1854 and 1855,
which are as follows:
1854. 1855.
Expenses Of Goverpr,ent, s29o,6o5 81 s5aeosl %.
The difference is about forty thousand
dollars, which is about the additional pay
of Members of the Legislature. This
sum is an item to people already heavi-
ly burtbened.
