- RUNNING EXPENSES OF THQE
HOUSE -

Friday last, the House of Representa-.
tives had under consideration, among
other matters, the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill. The entire
session lasted some five hours, during
which fourteen pages of the report of the
committee that is of the reported bill
were disposed of. Nearly every item. with.
naturally occasioned exceptions, were more

those attracting the most attention, and
causing the most discussion, were those
making appropriations for the department
OF agriculture. The most of it turned upon
an amendment proposing to reduce the sal
airy of the clerk who distributes the seeds,
received by the department. 10 the differ
cnt parts of the country. Judging from
the official reports Of the debate, the dis
cusson occupied some two hours or, in
round numbers, perhaps about onc-half of
the session. In speaking thereof - Per-
ley, the correspondent of the Boston Jour
nal, says ''The time occupied in the at
about two hundred dollars, probably cost
the government, in the running expenses
the House, two thousand dollars, and
" the reduction was not then made" 1t is
a matter of some interest to the people of
the whole country to be informed, whether
this statement is true or a mistake We all
desire and demand economy, but we, also,
desire TO base our demands and argll-
ments on the TRUTH or facts not mis-
stakes. 'Perley"-Ben. Perey Poore-is
clerk of the senate committee on printing,
and, as he has been for years in Washing
ton, both as newspaper correspondent and
as clerk of the standing committees, he
most surely ought to know what he is talk
ing about. Let us make calculation and
enquiry. What are the running expenses
OF the house? 1t is certainly true whether
a session be longer or shorter, or a debate
occupy more or less hours, the pay of the
members of the house or its officers will
not vary portion of cent. The speaker,
clerks, members, scrgeant-at-a and Ger.
tain other officers receive a certain fixed
salary, so that their pay cannot be consd-
cred as part of ''the running expenses.
Can it, then, be possible that the incidental
expenses reach such an enormous sum? If
"Perley's" statement is true, it must be so.
Congress WILL it is probable, be in session
two-thirds of the present year that is
about eight months, or two hundred work
ing days. According to "Perley," the
running expenses of the house" are at
least four thousand dollars day-but if
his statement is correct and our calculation
OF the time occupied in the debate is, also,
correct, they are five thousand dollars. But

Memorial Day.
HEADQUARTERS GRAND ARMY OF rHE)
RErrBLIc, ApJUrANr-GENERAL's
OFFICE, BOsToN, April 81. 1874 !

General Orucrs, No. 10.
In accordance with the rules and regula-
tons, the Both day Of May next will be OBJ
served MS Memorial Day by the Grand Army
OF the Republic, and the customary honors
will be paid TO the memory of our departed
comrades, by public services and by visit
ing and decorating. 50 far as wo are able TO
do so, the graves where they lie,
In making arrangements for its ubserv-
ance, departments and posts are recon-
mended to invite the cooperation of COM
rades not members of the Grand Army, of
the clergy and of all who may feel interest
ed in these memorial services.
1t is earnestly hoped that in those places
where there are no posts, the day may not
be suffered TO pass without suitable recog-
milton, but that friends and citizens will en-
deavor to see that the graves of those who
sleep among them are not left unyisted.
by this simple act we seem to establish a
communication between all who have loved
our brave while living and who honor them
when dead, and we join alike with the sol
emn professions which move with banners
and music from our crowded cities, or with
the little family which, on some lonely
farm, will, on that day, visit the quiet spot
where rest the remains of him who was
once beloved brother or darling son.
Together we inculcate the lessons of that
self-deyotion by which alone nation can
be saved in so terrible crisis of its fate as
that through which our own was called to
pass, and we bow our heads in gratitude to
the Almighty for His signal favor in pre-
serving our government from threatened
distinctions and, together, we re-dedicate
ourselves to all the duties of patriotism that
are still upon us.
Nor would we seek to honor the memory
OF those alone whose graves we are able to
visit, but through them to commemorate
all that have passed away, who, in the
hour Of trial, did their duty faithfully. Our
noble dead are scattered far and wide, but

which TO make attorney generals, and far
better ones, than the present incumbent,
and they can be obtained for the same
price. The attorney general, if the Senate
concur, will have to dispense with this
little item, as the House struck 1t out by a
vote of cighty-fve TO sixty-ninc-not very
strong vote, surely, in favor of economy
and against perquisites, but it will answer
if IL "sticks."
If II were done, when It's done, then
"twerc well, but there's the trouble. So
far rs was in their power, the House
clinched the nail 1t had driven, by adopt
ing section. TO the effect, that no civil Of
ticer of the United States should, directly
or indirectly, receive any compensation or
perquisites, above his fixed salary or COM
pensation, from the treasury or property of
the general government, or make private
use Of any "such property or of the SER
vices or labor of any person employed in
the service OF the United States, which ser
vice or labor is paid for by the United
States" A blow is thus struck at the root
of this abuse which, il the Senate concur,
promises to bear some good fruit. The
one great trouble will be to make the re-
form efficient and practical, there are 50
mary ways OF evading laws and of cover
ing up ones track. This is illustrated in
this very case of the attorney generals
landaulet. The accidental discovery of the
voucher therefor has brought out all this
discussion, produced, and justly so, much
Of Indignation throughout the country, and
finally led to this action. Let no one, how
eyer, suppose that the present adminstra-
ton is responsible for the abuse. The re-
publican party did not inaugurate the horse,
carriage, etc, business. We know not
how old the abuse is, but we do know that
the present administration, AS well as that
of Abraham Lincoln. found it in full vogue
on their accession to power They but
followed in the footsteps of their illus
trious predecessors. We cannot say that
ii has not grown and increased, year by
year since 1861, until it eliminated in the
landaulet, for such is the History of all
abuses and this probably, forms no cxcep-
ton to the general rule. These kind of
perquisitcs were, certainly secured under
the administration of Buchanan as. during
the debate. voucher was produced, dated
in 1859, for the sum paid for the difference
between some kind Of IN old vehicle and
zine Germantown carriage" Custom and
usage, however, do not make right, cspe-
cially when il is II custom more honorcd in
the breach than in the observance and.
moreover when it is one of more than
doubtful constitutonality and legality. The
first blow has now been struck, and we
trust that it will he followed up until this
and all other abuses are wecded out, and
honesty, integrity and economy rule in all
the branches of public business, both ma
tional and state.

IL THE SENATE CONCUR

portant consideration, we begin to sec light
ahead in correcting long standing ahnse.
While the House was considering ore of
the appropriation hills, Saturday, IN item
waareached appropriating fourteen hundred
dollars for the care and subsistence of
horses and six hundred dollars for repairs
to carriages and harness, all for the use OF
the department Of justice'--that is for
the use oi the attorney general. This. rs
matter OF course, brought up The notorious
landaulet which the present attorney gen
eral purchased, and for which the national
treasury pail eleven hundred dollars. In
the course of the debate, Mr.. Nesnth Of
Oregon, formerly an Indian agent and
United States marshal for that state, or then
territory, said that lawyers in that region
rode to court on the back of fifty dollar
mule" This, perhaps, was rather severe,
but Nesmith "knows how It is himself"
Nevertheless, it Was n fair illustration of
the situation. If Attorney General vii.
liams, as an attorney or judge in Oregon,
could attend court "riding on the back of a
fifty dollar mule or in a public convey
ance, why should he not, when he Is paid
fixed salary, walk, or ride in the horse cars
or other public conveyance, from his resi-
dence 10 his office, or from his office to the
several courts? Why should the govern
ment provide him with grooms, hostlers,
harness, hay, grain and landaulet,"
more than they did when he was an Oregon
judge9 His salary is fixed by law why
should it be increased, indirectly, in this
manner, more than the salaries of Senators
and Representatives in Congress, whose
salaries are, also, fixed by law? If the
salary is not large enough, two courses are
open. 1t can be increased or this failing,

THE ITALIAN GIRL. By Katharine Sedg-
wick Washburn, Author of ''Ina." Boston:
Lee and Shepard, 1874.
Notwithstanding the literary flavor to
her name, the authoress of this work, so
far as our individual knowledge extends,
is comparatively a new candidate for pub
lie favor, although she is called the author
of 'lna." Be this as it may, we think she
has made her mark. Finding her heroine
in somewhat unusual place-a young girl,
a rider in crcus-she shows what truth.
purity and nobility of character. coupled
with self attained education, can accom-
pllsh. The book is written in good, pure
English-which is something in these
days--and attracts and keeps the attention
and interest from the beginning to the end.
What is more in our opinion. it is not
book to be SKINNED over it is one to be
read sentence after sentence and page after
page. We may be mistaken in speaking of
the authoress MS "a new candidate" etc,
