A Washington writer sayastlMtI
Soma Of the Cepgressaen who we're
opposed TO the robbery committed
BY their fellows in voting them
selves pay f6r past services already
paid for, are inclined 10 refuse tho
advancc, bat do not like to act sing
II and alone lest it. should appear +
ostentatious. They want others to
Join them IN the silent protest.
This Is tie severest thing that has
been said of Congressional morAi.
q, for it intimatss that acts of hon.
Gsty are 30 uncommon there that .
ban will not engage in them unless
ne has extraneous support
It used to BE supposed that the
rejection Of i'll gotten gains was 10
simple and instantaneous an inn
pu SO that every man who respected
himself gave way to it at once. But
in Washington it is no longer q
matter of impulse, but Of cascu'a-
tion aad combination. They take
the plunder lest it should appear
odd and eccentric to refuse it-!est
it should reflect injuriously upon
the character of the fellows
But let the hesitating gentlemen
have courag g; they will not stand
q together alone; one precedent has
been set by the example of Speak
er Blaine, who is the more highly
estimated ON account of it, while
! we have no doubt that If any one
of them should summon resolution
to behave properly he will be fol-
lowed by others. W -
Meanwhile, that their constituents
may see how the question stood,
we repeat our table of the vote ON
the fraud, with an indication of the
political afiinities Of the several vo
ters. 1--WE take the vote on adopt.
