There was quite lively debate in the

thousand dollars to defray the expenses OF
the committee to investigate into the man
xgement Of District Of Columbia affairs.
Several Senators evinced disposition to
cut down this sum, believing that thorough
Investigation can be had without incurring
such expense. The reason for this is that
members of Congress have become aware
OF the fact that there are number of profess
sional witnesses about Washington who
hang around eommittee-rooms pretending
TO have valuable information, and the appro-
priation of large sums of money would start
them I'D with all kinds Of irrelevant testi-
