worthy of Attention.

Under the Compensation Bill the pay
of Congressman for the short session
is precisely one Thousand dollars per
month. That Bill gives the members
5000 dollars per year, and the short ses-
sion is limited by the Constitution, and
can't hold over three months, commend
ing with the first Monday of December
and ending the third day of March.
Under the old per diem of dollars the
pay of Congressman was 240 dollars per
month, showing an increase by the Com
pensation Bill of 200 dollars per month
for each one of the 300 members-which
is an increase on the whole number of
228,000 dollars per month, and an aggre-
gate increase for the three months Of
6S4000 dollars. There's the figures-any
body can Count them. And yet we are
told that the measure which produces
such enormous results is great mea.
sure of Retrenchment and Reform" Nc
wonder the government expenditure have
run up to the unprecedented figure, as stat
ed by President Buchanan, of so millions
per annum, while such economy as that
is the order of the dayl But the worst
feature connected with the Compensation
Bill, is the great prominent fact that the
men who got it up and put it through
had contracted with their constituents tC
work for'S dollars day, and then wen
to Washington and voted themselves the
increased pay. Tho pay for the long ses
sion is not so great, though it is largel,
over the old pay of dollars per day
Just think of it! Three thousand dollar
for the three months session, or six thou
sand dollars for the term. 1t would taxi
the poor man" a right smart littlewhil'
to shovel, plough, or hoe" that amour
up in the corn field.
