Yes, sir; have been. / have suffered both
socially and materially. for my services in 1872
received State warrants, which negotiated at
heavy discount. In 1876 received no compensa-
ton whatever, but was dragged from my home
and business to Washington, and confined thirty
three days in the Capitol, as l have stated, and
atterward lncarcerated in the parish prison in
New Orleans; and when was discharged here,
In company with others of the Board, went 10 the
Sergeant at arms, John g. Thompson, 10 inquire
what provision had been made for defrayiDg our
expenses, and TO ascertain how we were 70 get
home, we were politely informed by that digni-
tary that we might walk home. My present visit

here over three weeks. If O part of this judgment

receive something. On the Sd Of March, 1876,
when the Returning Board were Bet at liberty
from their imprisonment in the Capitol, we called
upon Mr.. Hayes, who was stopping at Mr.. eheI-
