The amount published as officially ex-

AS there are 652 members of the House,
and half as many candidates again as
members, it is probable that the expenses
did not fall far short of million and q
half stearling. The official expenses Of
members of our Congress at any one elsc

President Hayes is frugal in his tastes,
and it IS said will retire from the White
House with what many persons regard as
a very handsome cempetency-enough,
at least, to last him during the remainder
Of his life. A gentemao who knows all
about the "ins and outs" of the White
House, and the amount of money neces>
sary to he spent by the President, says
that the latter has been extremely eco-
nomical, and has not spent to exceed
$4,000 or $12 900 year. As the salary
OF the Office is $50, 600 per year, the Presi-
dent has been enabled to save between
$35. 900 and $4,000 each year. The
gentleman who is authority for these
figures says that President Hayes will
retire from the White House about
$40, 600 better off that when he entered.
The Government pays tor everything
about the White House except the actual
food, and the most of this is obtained
