aNE HONEST CONGRESSMAN.

In the Eleventh Congressional
District of New York, Roswell
z. Flower was elected over one
of the Astors to FIJI a vacancy in
the last Congress. Flower dis
covered after he had drawn his
salary as Congressman that Sec
tions 40 and II of the Revised
Statutes of the United States
read as follows
"The Secretary Of the Senate
and Sergeant-at-Arms Of the
House, respectively, shall de
duct from the monthly pay
ments of each member or del
egate the amount of his salary
for each day that he has been
absent from the Senate or House
respectively, unless such MEM
Der or delegate assigns as the
reason for his absence the sick
ness of himself or OF some mem-
Ter of his family.
When any member or DEL
egate withdraws from his seat
and does not return before the
adjournment of Congress he
shall, in addition to the sum de-
Quoted for each day, forfeit a
sum equal to the amount which
would have been allowed by law
for his travelling expenses in re
turning home; and such sum
shall be deducted from his com-
pensation unless the withdrawal
is with the leave Of the Senate
or House of Representatives"
After making this discovery,
Flower reckoned the number OF
DAYS he had been absent from
the House OF Representatives
on private business, and found
that his salary for that time
amounted TO S44S so, and he
forthwith forwarded his check
for that amount to the Treasurer
of the United States.
Commenting Oh the above the
Steer ,Stote says:
Some of the Eastern papers
ridicule the act OF Congressman
Flower in returning the money,
which had been paid him in dI-
rect violation of the law, while
other Journals direct the atten-
ton Of all congressman to his
discovery, and express the hope
that they will not lose sight of it
when drawing their salaries ia
future. There is no reason why
Senators and Representatives in
Congress should be paid by the
people when absent on private
business. IF prisons occupying
subordinate positions in the Gov
eminent employ are absent flom
their posts, deductions for lost
time are made from their salar-
les, while Senators and Congress
men are permitted to draw theil
full salaries, though absent from
Washington two-thirds Of the
time, or, as in the case of Will
liam aron,ex-Senator from thi:
State, without being in thel1
seats one day during whole ses
sions of Congress.
