A correspondent of the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journdl writes Of the way in which the
senators draw their SALARIES: SHERMAN
draws his money whenever he needs it,
sometimes twice month and oftener it
runs on two months Pendleton draws MP
close every month when the senate is in
session. Burnside sends draft on the
secretary's office to his banker at Provi-
dence once month, and the bank draws on
the secretary of the senate regularly every
month, whether the senate is in session
or not. Anthony is the only one who
draws once q year, and his banker attends
to it for him. Fair, of Nevada, went off
without drawing cent, but his salary from
the 4th Of March to the LIST Of July will be
sent to him, il he does not draw it in the
meantime. Fair is said to be worth $40,
O00, 0O0."
