for all the time which they spend !
and full reimbursement for all
expenses which they incur in
performing the duties of jury
men ia the District Courts.

shown by his uranswerable
speeches in Congress against the
reduction of duties upon foreign
manufacturers and foreign pro-
auctions, which exposes in a

he last speech in Congress upon
hat subject, in which he has

intelligent to the common mind.
