PRACTICES IMPROVED AND CHARGES MORE HONEST.
The Washington correspondent of the Boston
Globe says Old clerks here, who are familiar
with the mode of making up mileage, both now
and in the past, say that whatever truth there
may be in the statements of legislative corrup-
tions 80 much talked of nowadays, there is GER
tainly more considerable degree of honesty ex-
hibited in the preparation of individual accounts
than formerly. There is scarcely Senator who
receives, from Southern or Southwestern State,
one-half the mileage his ante-bellum predeces-
sors did. 1t can be shown that Yulee, of Florida
doubled on Osborn, as to that item while john
son, of Arkansas, got some $500 more per annum
than either Rice or Clayton. jefferson
Davis was counted as being entitled to several
hundred dollars more than either the " SCALA
wag" Alcorn, or the ''satrap" Ames, Gas Davis's
friends Wig ,rously if not coarsely term his pres
ent successors) now obtain. Duke" Gwinn's
mileage from California was something enor-
nous. Waite Wigfalls plum in this way almost
paid that gentleman's wine bill. These accounts
are CLOSELY scrutinized by committees in both
bodies before they are allowed and paid,
