not drawn dollar of his salary for the

Arms, and there is over s., 900 to his
credit in the oilice of that official, includ
ing mileage, etc. The majority of the
members draw their mOrey regularly,
and in Sc eral instances there are some
who have overirawn. This howe cr, is
done at the risk of the Sergeant at Arms,
and the mon Y is advanced from that de.
posted with him to the credit of those
who have not drawn for several months,
such as Congressman Scott, who, a:
stated, has over 5000 to his credit.
There are NUN cr who do OF draw &
