WASHINGTON, June 1G.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Garfield gave notice that he would,
next Monday, offer a resolution directing the
Committee on Mileage to examine and report
what discrepancy, if any. there was between
the amount of mileage received by members
OF the last Congress and the amount claimed
by them, and directing the committee to al
low no more mileage in future to a member
than is claimed by him. He explained the
reason why he wished the resolution to be
adopted. On looking into the document
showing the pay and mileage of members for
last Congress, he found himself set down for
2I4O miles of travel. calling for 6S6 miles
four times, whereas he had only claimed, in
answer to the circular sent him by the chair
man Of the Committee on Mileage, 585 miles
as the distance from his home to Washington.
That multiplied by four would make the num
Der of miles for which he should have been
paid, 229O miles, SO tina, hr paid FOR 4so
miles more than he had claimed. Drawing
his mileage in sums of $500 and 5000 at a
time. he did not notice this discrepancy, and
II was only on referring to the document he
became aware cf ,as fact. He found now. on
inquiring, that other members from Ohio, and
perhaps from all parts of the country had
been allowed mpre mileage taan they had
claimed. The gentleman from Cleveland.
MIR. Spalding, claimed for 5l0 miles, and was
allowed for 634; and his colleague, Mr
Schenck, claimed for only $50 miles. and
was allowed for sl2. The letters in
which they stated the number Of miles
the cha;rm.n pf ,f the committee Of Of
mileage, he found in the room of the Ser
geant at arms, and endorsed with the increas-
ed number of miles, approved by j. w, W.
the initials of Mr.. White, of ohio-Chairman
OF the committee. In the case Of his col.
le:gue, Mr.. Schenck, he had discovered. on
being paid the balance due him the last day
of Congress, the discrepancy, and had re-
fused TO receive the increased amount. IT.
appeared that the committee on mileage had
in this way got up . scale of distances utterly
unknown to members, and now the whole
thing was published to Congress and the
country, and members we're set down a. hav-
ing received q very considerable amount more
than they had claimed. He therefore gave
this notice that he would next Monday ask
unanimous consent to offer this resolution
directing the committee on mileage to in
quire into the matter. ~
