THE DIPLOMATIC APPROPRIATION BILL
The unfinished business, being the consular and
diplomatic appropriation bill, was then taken up,
the question being on the amendment Of Mr.. Sum-
ner, fixing the compensation Of VIM Hunter. Esq,
chief clerk Of the state Department, at 5OO to
commence on the SOth June. 1855.
Mr.. Hendricks said 1t did not seem right to him
TO do this IL was better to have regular rate OF
compensation Fixed for the office, and not fixed for
. person. He Mr.. III had long been Of the opin-
Ion that the clerks n this city were but poorly paid
In view Of the enhanced cost Of living, and he
In favor Of increasing their compensation, but
could not vote for this amendment. II 50, 500 was
to DO the salary OF one chief clerk 1t should be Of
all.
Mr.. Trumbull asked II this was not unsound.
