Maine COngressmon and Back
Pan.

The Portland Press says that or Maine
Congressman are taking such course in
reference to the back pay which they did
not vote themselves. as is highly honor
able to the State. The Bangor Wing
learns that Messrs. Frye ant Hale long
ago notified the Office OF tho Sergeant al
arms that they declined then back pay.
Senator Hamlin has declined taking his
back pay aud will turn il into the Treas
ury. Speaker Blaine insisted upon m
amendment to the bill that struck out tho
back pay for his office. Mr.. Peters had
already sent draft for the amount due
him on this account to the Secretary OF
the Treasury, but at a date that vas III
tended to prevent its publication in Maine
until alter the then pending judicial APP
poinlment was settled. There eau be no
doubt but what MeSsrs. Morrill, and
Lynch will unite with their colleagues IN
this action SO creditable to themselves
and gratifying to the people OF Maine.
P.S. Since writing the above we
leSru that Messrs. Hale and Frye have
ordered their back pay TO DC turned into
the L. ;. treasury-the delay in 80 doing
having been simply hom the TACT that
Mr. Peters could not join with them SO
LONG as his taking such a course might be
construed improperly.
