The national Republican. [volume] (Washington City [D.C.]) 1866-1870, 1869-03-13

Class and private legislation has grown
apaco In this country, and II now assumes
such dimensions that something must speed
ity be done to check Its inroads, or the very
foundations Of our Government will be
shaken, aud even our liberties as q people
will BE- seriously endangered.
Special and private bills took up large
portion Of the time Of the last Con-
gross. It is even estimated that three
quarters Of the bills introduced into the last
Congress were Of this nature.
II becomes a serious question whether
indeed Congress ought TO give the time 1t Is
In the habit Of doing to consider these
schemes which come before II under the
gulse Of important matters, when really
there is no merit In the propositions beyond
what will benefit few parties who desire to
draw money from the Treasury, which can
only go to build up and enrich the few at the
expense of the many.
Persons who have just claims against the
| Government are, doubtless, entitled to be
heard, and they should be INDUCED with the
privilege of making known the Justice Of
these claims; but II seems to us little moro
careful scrutiny on the part Of the commit
tees would curtail, to very considerable ex-
tent, large amount of the evil which grows
out Of introducing many OF these bills into
Congress, and thus consuming the time Of
the House and Senate with bills that should
never have first reading.
We hone the present Congress will cut
