and rare banqueting privileges rendered as gra-
tuity to the statesmen Of both houses, who
promptly draw their Ave dollars per day up TO
the time of starting and, as surely present their
warrant for the same ratio on return, for time
spent in junket. It is decidedly convenient for
the recipients Of popular favor, to go of at the
expense Of a great Railroad Company destroy a
business quorum in both branches, lock the
wheels so the honest cannot work. and II is quite
right that the people who foot the bill Of one
thousand dollars per day, should know who the
