Of such meeting, but merely happened

ding that there were but five members
of the committee in attendance, ] refus

ground that il required eight members to
constitute quorum, and less number
could transact no business. DIR. Dickey

same reason to participate--ands SO there
were but three members, to-wit: Messrs.

Mr.. EDIroR:--In looking over the last
Palladium, noticed an error IN your
statement of Where the Feathers go
to- that is calculated to deceive. and
mislead the general reader. II it were
true that such extray agencies were in
dulged in by the American Congress, it
would be right to let the people know
the fact, but as ! happen to know some
thing of the practical working Of this
matter, deem correction advisable.
Prior to the 31st Congress, '49-5O)
m embers were allowed an unlimited sup
ply Of Stationery. During the last ses-
sion Of that Congress, question arose
as to the abuse of this privilege, which
resulted in the passage of an act by both
Houses, limiting the members to $50
for the long and $40 for the short SEES
sion Now the mode of operation is
this: Tue Clerk OF the House OF Rep
resentatixes and Secretary of the SEN
ate, purchase all articles Of Stationery
nature, and turn the same over to the
Post Master of their respective houses
for distribution TO the members; likewise
make report Of tie same. doubtless
from this report the extract you publish
ed was taken.) The p. N. opens regu-
lar book accounts with the members,
and charges every item ordered by them.
If they exceed the amount allowed for
Stationery, the same is certified TO by
the p. NJ. to the disbursiDg officer and
by him deducted from the members
pay. If the member fails to draw the
amount of Stationery allowed by law,
the same, at the close Of the session, Is
certified to by the P. NJ, and the men,
