TORS enat0rs Greatly Exercised at Greeley
for Lobbying Bailes's Nomination Through
tho Senate.
WASHINGTON, March n, 1870.
Mr. Banfeld, Of the Internal Revenue Bureau,
turned from New York this morning, and reports
the Investigations into Bailey's accounts rs going on.
Up to the time OF his departure last night nothing Of
definite nature had been discovered. IL Is the i'm
preston here that the alleged deialcatlon occurred
while Bailey was Collector OF the Fourth district 1t
is also nsinuated that If the deiacation really has
occurred the seizures which made were In view
OF the moletIes, in hopes OF covering W the irregu
larites in the accounts OF the Fourth district. The
Internal Revenue once is making every effort to
ferret out the extent OF the frauds. Deputy Com
missioner Douglass left here to-day to take entire
charge OF the examination.
Ofllcal circles here are IN state OF fermentation.
Among the supporters OF Bailey were Rollins. the
ex-Commissioner who, 1t is statea, designated him
the best olcer in the service. The Senate, and.par
ticuary those who advocated Bailey, are greatly
exercised at sOid Greeley" who came here to lobby
the matter through, and was mainly instrumental
IN the success acnlcved Horace lobbyist Is
pronounced fraud. 1t IL thought here that If the
allegations against Bailey correct his rreguarl
ties existed at the time his name pending for
continuation.

vote. The death of Ex-Governor Trim
bic was announced and resolutions of

Resolutions of respect TO the mem
ory of Gov. Trimble were adopted.
On Saturday q large number of Pc

mont county. The Senate completed
no business of note.
On Monday the House adopted res
olution restoring to the 9Th o. V. 1.
the flag presented the regiment by the

al interest transpired in the Senate.

@ Prior to the war our members
of Congress received salary of S.
900 per annum. After the outbreak of
the rebellion it was increased TO S.
600. As Congress has a spasm of econ
omy affecting its members at this time,
and as we must come down to Il peace
footing in our expenditures, we would
suggest to that honorable body, if not
considered impertinent, that they vote
themselves back to $4,000 per annum.
1t would be saving of over $500. 900
each ana every year. Then again, If
ten cents mile is sufficient to defray
the expenses of an army officer, when
travelling under orders, why will it not
pay the expenses of member of Con-
gress, whose pockets are lined with
rec passes over all our railway and
steamboat lines?
Let US come down to a peace footing
all round the board Not a peace foot
ing for one branch of the service and
all others kept up to the war standard.
Gentlemen, economy, like charity,
should begin at home. Try it and see
how it works.
