He then went on to explain MS votes
on the salary question. ana said he had
huatlv voted for it, FOR the same reason
that other members voted for it, be-
c use it was necessary to do so to save
an important appropriation bill. He
had offered the resolution of which
Hale complained, and he did it in con
sequence of mis- unjust attack upon
members Of the Torty-second Congress
who had voted for the salary bill. Tho
gentleman, said Mr. Wilson, has been
running around here prescribing clean
linen for all his associates, AMI as 10
was making such G. prescription he did
not propose to permit Hale - wear n
dirty shirt.
In discussing this question Of saia-
ries day before yesterday, the gentle
man had said that the salary bill was
passed in Gr unmaniy and coTardly
wav. At the same time that he was
making these charges he knew that
he had received $l0,O00 per annum
from the government at the same time
that he was taking, lis pay IS mem
Der of Congress-. He called attention
to the fact that the bill which pertlit-
ted 1Tr. Hale t. do this ns passed at
the same timo that ti:<, salary ill! vas
passed, and at late hour OF the night
He doubted whether the bill would
have passed if it had been Supposed:
that he (Hale) was t. receive two sala-
ries. Before tho gentleman charged
his associates with un1nanhness. and
cowardice, and with guilt, he shou'd
cover the extra salary be had received
into the treasury.
Mr.. Eldredse said lie had looked up
Mr.. Eale's record because the latter
had charged the House with q want ii
integrity in its legislation last session.
He denied that be had suggested 20
Mr.. Wilson to offer his resolution.
AEr. Butler, OF massachusetts, said
he did not dispute the right Of Mr..
Hale to take pay as the agent OF the
L nited States before the mixed com
He had earned the money,
and he had the right to take it. But
what the House rad a right to COM
plain OF was sl,at Hale should charge
other members with receiving too
much pay when ne himself was re
ceiying r large double allowance. lie
called attention to the Eect that the
House had always Reproduced the
taking Of two salaries. Living IN a
glass house himself, the gentleman
tro:4i Nov Ioris should not throw
stones. He would refer the gentleman
for his cditication 10 the fourth chap
ter OF .Tohu-''Ihe woman was AIKEN

upon those around him, said Let
