THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRI.
ALTON.

An investigation has elected the fact that the
amount appropriated by the Crowd was not suffi-
Gent to meet the legitimate expenses Of full
Legislature, such as mileage and per diem OF
members and pay of officers and employees.
To pay what the law allows, would require
something between one hundred and ninety and
two hundred thousand dollars, and, of course,
the appropriation OF 166,0O0 was inadequate to
pay all the members.
It was thought that the appropriation was
made to cover all expenses, and the fact that the
full amount had been expended and the Conser-
vative members not paid, led to the very natural
conclusion that q very large amount had been
"gobbled.'
Now, as to the contingent expense fund, it ap-
pears that the contingent expenses Of each wing
were very large.
The Crowd met in a new State. House, and the
new State-House had to be furnished in keeping
with the dignity Of the Crowd. As sample OF
the style in which it was done, it was found alb
solutely necessary to furnish, in luxurious PAN
ner, between thirty and forty committee rooms
for the use of Hahns Wing.
Several very large furniture bills were the re-
suit, and they were all presented for payment to
O. F. Hunsaker, Chairman Of the Committee on
Contingent Expenses. They were all approved
by the Sergeantat as the law requires
but Hunsaker required something more. The
Endorsement of the Sergeant-at-Arms was not
sufficient, and only such bills as were approved
by Hahn were paid; but it took considerable
money to settle these.
Antoine's Wing, too, had to have committee
| rooms finely furnished, and the bills were pre-
sented to the committee of the Senate, and
on proper Endorsement, paid.
Then there was stationery. Quite number o.
the members in both Wings, who could with diff
Guilty make their mark, found it necessary to sus
tain the dignity of their position to supply thei
constituents with stationery. The members drew
their drafts, and their drafts had to be honored
and very large bill something like fourteen
thousand dollars in Antoine's Wing alone-wa'
presented, properly endorsed and certified, ant
paid.
This is the way the contingent expense fund
went.
| There is one thing certain, the Crowd must stol
changing State Houses and limit the members il
their stationery drafts, or make larger appro
priation bill.

SONG OF THE SHAMROCK.
from "The Man from America. !

from "The Man from America."]
BY J. J. WALLACE.
What Irish heart that does not beat
With richer, warmer throb
To see the Shamrock, green and fresh,'
From Erin's dear ould sod
Pressed under foot tor ages past
For ages still may be
The Saxon's grasp must break at last
And the dear ould land be free!
Blue eyes, I know, will then look back
On childhood's every scene:
When with light hearts ana bounding feet
We roamed Ger Erins green.
Across the briby deep I'll go,
And greet my sons once more --s-
And make within their hearts the love
For Erin--iJus ashore

LONDON, April 10.-The Berlin Post, reverting
to the subjects Of lite leading article of yesterday
says as long as Count Andressy remains in office
the good understanding between the TIRES En-
perOrs will continue, and there need be no fear
Of immediate war.
The G. logne Gazette, commenting on the Bel
gian difficulty, remarks that Belgium may have
been encouraged in her denial Of the German
demands BY y neighboring power, whose able
Minister of Foreign Affairs has certainly

finished, except in 80 far as it relates to the
Duchesne investigation.
The Berlin Post states that Prince Frederick
Will am, accompanied by Generals Motke and
Blumenthal and Weight RhetZ, leaves Berlin next
Monday for Italy.
The London Times. reviewing the text of the
German note to Belgium, says: Our expectations
were justified that fuller knowledge OF the
more serious constructions which have been
made OF it.
Germany demonstrates with Belgium and
ma kes recommendations beyond the bounds3of
good taste, but puts forth nothing which We arc
able fairly to call threat It is the interest of
every fre e nation to protest against claim that
expressions Of sympathy with any cause in
foreign country belong to the order Of interna-
tiOnal wrongs, which the State is bound to re-
strain. The circumstance that neither party to
the dispute has appealed to the powers guaran-
teeing Belgium independence, also somewhat
diminishcs the importance OF the affair.

WANTED "A REPORT.

Among the first acts of the Kellogg Legis-
lature at its last regular session, was the
appointment Of joint committee to ex-
anime the books and accounts Of the Auditor
and Treasurer. This committee consisted of
four Senators and five Representatives, who
we're authorized to. employ:experts. The ex-
animation of the two Offices was found to be
quite herculean task-in fact, such was the
delightful condition Of chaos, especially in
the Auditors Office, that no full or complete
report could be rendered before the adjourn
ment of the Legislature.
The committee, in view Of the immense
amount of labor involved, and in view of the
labvrinthine mazes of accounts to be
threaded, asked for further time, which was
granted.
The meeting of the extra session will
enable the committee to hand in its report
which must by this time be quite complete,
unless it has found the financial esfairs Of
the State in worse middle than even the
opponents Of the. Kellogg government have
imagined. We are not prophet, nor yet the
son of q prophet, but We predict that the
report, when made, will cause such sensa
tion-provided the members of the commit.
tee have faithfully performed their duty-as
has not been experienced for many day.
We suggest that, should the committee fail
to report, the Legislature, or the Conserva'
tive members thereof at least, call for it, as
it is high time to understand just where We

RECORDER HAcKETTs SALARY CLAIM
A CARD FROM ExJUDGE CLERKE.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: perceive that Mr.. Clinton, in bis speech of
Yesterday states that Recorder Hackett applied to
me- "a a Justice of the Supreme Court, for man
damus against the Controller, to compel the pay
Inent of his salary from the LIST of January 1866,
notwithstanding that he appointed only on the
9th of March of that year. This il mistake. The
facts are the following l was assigned to duty in
Chambers during March or April Of that year.
when Judge Barnard aaslgned to dnty Ia the
General Term during TIE same time was, /
think only day or two dscharging duty at Cham
bers when Judge Barnard came and informed Iae
that he was in 50 bad a state OF health that bis
physician urged him to go to Florida within two or
three weeks and IL he could not possibly decide
the costs which might be- argued before him and the
other Judges at the General Term. lie proposed 10

Judge Barnard took MY place at Chambers, and

third day after he took his seat at Chambers, was
s,rprised to hear that Recorder Hackett had made
motion before Judge Barnard for msndamus
to compel Controller Connolly 10 pay him his salary
as Recorder from the 1st Of January and other de-
mands against the city, amounting in the whole, az
understood, to many thousand dollars. This mo-
ion was granted, and the money paid with uncon'-
mon prcmptitude. All can say is from the facts
which 1 afterward ascertained that / would not
have granted this motion, and / quite confident
that both Recorder naekett and Judge Barnard well
