or 6,0l4 for each Senator. IF the govern
ment paid for an equal number of envelopes
for each member of the House the aggre-
gate number was so great as to make it un-
necessary for the Republican campaign
committee to have purchased any enyel-
opes tor the documents they sent out of
Washington in the fall of 1872. This sin
gle item may also help to explain the sur
plus fund which the National Republican
committee found in its hands after the
election-the government paid for the en-
velOpes as well as for the folding and post
age OF the presidential campaign docu-
ments. The envelopes must have been
used in this way or they were stolen, for
not one half Of AS, 100 were used for the
honest public and private business of IA
Senator's.
Of writing paper there was furnished to
senators for their personal use 900 reams,
and to committees 440 l-2 reams, making
in all 1856 IL reams, or l4,730 quires
This would give to each Senator about 300
quires of writing paper.
There was charged to the Senate com
mittees go pocket knives and I56 pairs of
shears and scissors, or two pocket knives
and one pair OF scissors foE each Senator
and committee clerk, besides "a knives

the officers of the Senate.
TIE number of metallic pens furnished
the Senate committees was 80, $40, or 3S2
metallic pens for each Senator and COM
mittee clerk Besides these the commit
tees had 24O boxes of quill pens, and q
number of gold and rubber pens, q few
thousands oflead pencils, and one gold tooth
pick.
Among other articles furnished the SEN
ate committees were the following:
l3 visiting-card plates engraved.
1871 packs printed visiting cards
l47 packs plain visiting cards
l26 pocket books.
2I9 ink stands.
Committees have no use for visiting
cards. or plates engraved to print them
from, and the honest way for Senator
would be to pay for those they have out of
their personal stationary allowance. Two
hundred and nineteen ink-stands would
furnish every Senator and committee clerk
with two and leave enough to supply the
officers of the Senate. When all are sup
piled once with ink-stands it is hard to see
why an equal number has to be bought
during the succeeding year. And yet the
government pays every year for from 2O(
to 800 ink-stands for the use of the Senate
committees. What becomes of them all
1t is becoming the settled conviction O.
all those who honestly desire to reduce the
expenses of the government" that while
the big ''jobs' and steals" must be wat
ched and promptly defeated, the little
leaks, both at the Capitol and in the De
partments, must also be stopped.

WASHINGTON. Dec 90.
While some OF the Senators and Repre-
sentatives who are spending the recess of
Congress IN Washington are housing about
IN the departments and suggesting reduc-
tons In the annual estimates, or inuuiring
into the expenditure of the contingent
funds, some of those at the other end of
the avenue are reciprocating by overhaul
ing the contingent accounts of the legisla-
tive branch of the government to see if a
little OF the economy which members preach
TO the departments cannot be exercised at
the Capitol. Beginning with the Senate,
they lind that the estimates for the contin-
gent expenses of that body, exclusive of
expenditures for fuel, clerks and Capitol
ponce, amounts to 81, 40 Of this. the
estimate tor stationery, for committees and
othcers OF the Senate is $4,000; that for
horses and carryalls, $4,000 folding docu-
ments and materials, $4,000; labor, Sl6.-
OOO; furniture and repairs, $4,000, and
Tor miscellaneous items, exclusive of labor
$4,000. Of this $4,000 there was nomin-
ally spent during the last fiscal year, when
the senate was in actual session less thanfour
months, for stationery and newspapers fur
nlshed to Senators personally, Sc. O47. AZ or
$l2227 for each Senator
1t would naturally be supposed that such
a sum as this would pay for all of the sta.
tlonery and newspapers that each Senator
desired, and this supposition is strength
ened by the fact that almost every one com
muted part of his stationery allowance
and received on this account cash varying
In amount from few cents to $3.50. But
an examination of the stationery accounts
OF the committees shows that great many
articles were furnished to the committees
for which Senators in their official capacity
as members of those committees, could
have no use, and that of other articles the
amount far exceeded what could legiti-
mately be used in transacting common bus
mess. Here are some of the most striking
items in the two accounts:
Number Of envelopes furnished to Senators
on account Of personal stationery ....... 3IS 800
Number furnished committees .............. 962sO

The Religious Controversy.

NFw York, Jan. "A Berlin tele-
gram to The Lon lon Daily Telegraph
SAYS the Government has absolutely re-
solved to abstain from any interference
with the inner ecclesiastical organiza-
ton of the dioceses during their strug-
gle with the Romish Church, and to
confne its action to vigorously repell-
ing any encroachment OF the bishops
upon State rights. The existing pre-
scriptions, respecting the adminstra-
ton Of doceses when bishoprics are
vacant, will serve for cases in which
prelates shall be turned out by the
Government. These dioceses, left
without head, will be administered
by a Vicar-G eneral who will, in his
turn, be deposed should he not COM
ply with letter of the statues. The
Government is quite aware that these
measures will superinduce inconceiva
BILE confusion in the diocesan admins
tration, but it hopes thereby to compel
clergy to a compliance with the law.
The new form of oath Of allegiance to
be subscribed to by future appointed
Bishops is framed in terms binding
the subscriber to absolute submission
to the State, and it is officially assumed
that the Vatican will not permit the
Episcopal candidates to take it. This
assumption will be tested by the ap,
preaching filling-up of the Philadelphia
vacancy. Rheinish and Westphalian
Bishops are canvassing for the Imperial
Parliament, and they will certainly be
elected. The Government, however,
is entirely indifferent with regard to
this man9vre,
