CONSCIENTIOUS DEMOCRATS.
Some Of the Democratic members Of
CONGRESS are suueamish about taking the
MARY voted by the House to make good
the losses caused by the SlcOtt defalca-
ton. and Il * understood that Mr.. Bland
of Missouri. Savers Of Texas, Holman OF
Indiana, aud others have turned the money
that Was allowed hy the bill back into the
Treasury. and have asked that 1t be put
into the conscience fund There was
enough money left in the safe OF the Ser
geant-at-Arms after SilcOtt decampeo
10 pay the members 81 per cent. Of the
months salary that was not paid. Some
of the members took that amount ant
have turned the balance into the Treasury
Mr. Savers turned all Of his allowance int
the Treasury. These members insist thai
thew do not want 70 reflect on any II then
colleagues in what they have done, and
it Is therefore said that Il bill vii
be offered allowing any one who does not
care % draw the money 10 leave II III the
safe and at the end of this Congress nave
il returned TO the Treasury. The Court OF
Claims has passed on this question, Con
press has Appropriated the money TO maze
good the losses. and the member must be
fne-haired indeed who under such clrcum
stances will refuse what IS legally his.
COPYRIGHT DEFEATED.

right bill has been knocked ont IN the
House. General Lee was the only member
of the Virginia delegation who supportec
