Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1857-1865, 1859-04-15

peoples money-and this proposition we now pro- |
coed to prove and shall prove, TO the entire satsfac
ton every unprejudiced of every party in the
land
The statistics below as we have already said have
been collected from the official record which now lies
spread out before u.s. and pledge our veracty for
their entire truth-and challenge and defy the En-
qurer, Examiner Iner, and all the other Democratic
journals and politicians in the State to deny the facts
we are about to give;
TOILET EXPENSES OF II. R.-Hair Combs, Hair Brush
es, Soap, for the year ending November 80 1858.
279 buffalo and other combs $I1l 90
$50 English and other brushes 1888 81
ass bars of toilet soap, sohp dishes, 2O4 40 l-2
Total toilet expenses of II. r. $3.50 Sc ID
That is pretty dear to pay for washing and comb
ing members of Congress but we would not complain
lift only kept them clean it is needless to say that
it has not had that effect.
It appears that the peoples money is used even TO
provide the peoples representatives with something
with which to tickle Their noses Among the items
Of expenses reported by the Democratic Clerk of the
Democratic House of Representatives are the follow
ing:
IL bottles Maccaboy Snuff;
bottles Martinique Snuff
| IL lbs. of american Gentlemen" Snuff;
Walnut Snuff boxes.
A Democratic Congress is not content TO use COM
mon snuff, such as the people use. They must tax
the National Treasury with such snuff as suits ID
nericGn Gentlemen" only. Nor are they content with
homemade snuff. Foreign snuff must be provided.
So much in love are they with every thing foreign,
that "Maccaboy' and martinique" Snuff must be
purchased for them by the peoples money"
Wonder if Letcher and our other Democratic mem
bers of Congress from Virginia voted away the peo
pies money to provide themselves with snuff If
Congrescmen may use the peoples money for sup
plying themselves with snuff why may they not use
it to supply themselves with lunches and punches
with cigars and cocktails, and with every other
imaginable thing earthl Was there ever such
wanton and disrcputabe and dishonest waste of the
public money? Buying snuff for Themselves nth the
peoples money And this is Democracy--the eco
non,icdI Democracy
The next item to which we desire to call the at
tention of the people, is the bill for
/,
TTvEs.
Here is the BILL and let the people read and pom
dery-In the mean time, let ask what right men,
bers of Congress have to be driving about in Car
/, riages at the peoples expense Here is the bill
