Rrcat deal more that is important in this
subject Of compensation for public service.
Certain 1t is that am not in favor of H.
legitimate appropriations for expenditures;
sAd as am opposed to Legitimate ak
pendiure, wish to prevent that by a
reasonable, Legitimate appropriation. Yop
have seen already how a habit has grown
into the Executive Departments Of allow
ances Of questionable nature for these
conveniences which are essential to the
prompt transaction of public business, land
scandal has been created by it; bat l

that they should have confidence in the

what he can to establish that 1t is his
duty equally, in establishing confidence,
to strike down in any place. high or lew,
dishonesty and psculation in ofdcial'.
rejoice, sir, that tho public eye is turned
in such criticism. 1t has not turned toe
soon it cannot be turned too often or toe
closely; and I hope the day will come
when any public official of the United
States who is found engaging. directly OF
indirectly, in abuses of the privileges o.
his Office by small peculatons, by indirect
and illegitimate gains, will be rebukod by
a wholesome public sentiment of the
country, and that no man in Office will be
found to sustain such conduct. And it il
from high officials that the example car
come with best effect, and the public SER
sics surely needs it,
Sir. l hope that public attention and
displcasure have been aroused. hope
they will not slumbcr until these shall
have been remedied But. depend upor
it, the people, who from sense of hon
