Is IT picayunishness OF wisdom for

whack at every clerks salary within

demagogic spirit, on which the people
look with contempt. What right have
this body 10 cut down the hard earn.

save q few pitiful Thousands, and
at the same time pass an Abate-
ment Act and throw away hun
dreds of thousands in interest and
damages that belong TO the State and

what some of them are trying TO do.
Is the showing that our State officials
aud their Clerks have made such a poor
one that the Legislature must encour-
age them by robbing them Of a portion
