How They are Drawn by the Men who Do or Do Not Earn Them. Washington Correspondence of the Cincinnati En- quirer.l
 United States Senators draw their salaries just as regularly and with as much greediness as any other ''hired man" in Washington Some of them draw every day during the session of Congress, some once 8 week, oth- CTS twice month. few of them go into the cashiers room of the secretary's office and get their salaries only once a month. One Senator only draws his pay once year. Among the Senators who most frequently call for their stipends is Senator Voorhees, of Indiana. It is said that he calls on the sec retary for his salary oftener and draws 1t in smaller amounts than any other member of the Senate
 Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia, is rich man, and uses his salary for spending mon ey Whenever he needs a little spending money he sends his clerk into the cashier s office and draws $50, $1OO, $200, and some times S6OO at time He boards at the Ar lington Hotel, and lives within his salary. Don Cameron, of Pennsylvania, 1t is said, prefers hard money, but is not regular ID calling for his pay. He does not carry any
 money with him, and runs bill at the sen ate restaurant, which, I have heard, often amounts to from S2oO to $500. When he needs any money he goes to the cashier and tells him to send up to his house $50 In ten cent pieces, $100 in quarters, $zoo 1n nalI dollars, and S100 or so in silver dollars. have heard it suggested that Don, perhaps,
 uses his salary ln this way as a substitute for poker chips.
 Old David Davis is perhaps the most regu-
 lar in drawing his salary. On the first day of every month he goes to the cash room and calls for his money One day happened to be in there when the Illinois heavy weight came in for his pay While the clerk was .IJ no r;J
 q expect I give you young men good deal of trouble, calling for my money so often, heyaeh p .,o o,..t ere all the Senators were as regular as yourself we would not have any trouble at all. <" sAh l'' said the Senator; 'are there any
 who draw more frequently than I do, eh- hey-eh ?" ,.,
 Soh, yes, sir Some of them draw 8 little every day others once a week, and great
 many a dozen times Q month"
 You don't say SOL said MT. Davis. Are
 there any who draw less frequently than do ?"
 .'Yes, sir There is one Senator who only draws once year"
 'Ahi Eh, heyl Humph," grunted the old Senator ''Hs could draw it out and get interest on 1t, couldn't he-hey eh ?'' and then rolling up his monthly salary, which the l clerk had handed him, he walked of, mutt

 Roscoe Conkling drew his salary once 4
 month When he resigned he sent ono of
 his clerks mp to the Capitol and drew all
 that was due him, including the day on which l his resignation was read. flo, however, was
 not in his seat on that day, nor was he at the
 Capitol at aii afterward during the remainder | of the extra session.
 Piatt. of New York, has balance of $6
 placed to his credit, which, If he does not l check out before the 1st of July, will be sent
 to him by the secretary of the Senate. | One Senator from the South who owns
 property, it is said, frequently sells his salary before it is due, at a discount. I am told
 that once or twice, after having given an or.
 der on the secretary for his pay, by the way, | he has gone and drawn it out himself, allow
 ing his order to go to protest and be dishon l ored
 Sherman draws his money whenever he
 needs it, sometimes twice 8 month, and often l CT it runs on two months.
 l PendIeton draws up close every month
 when the Senate is in session. Burnside sends draft on the secretsry'i
