There are mary other reasons why ii is more ad-

stating that be had come here for quite

be permitted to put the same in his

iSreenville Enterprise I

lGreenville Enterprise,
1t is stated that Mr.. Bailey, a mem
Der of Congress from Texas, has asked
the Sergeant-at-Arms to deduct one
days salary from his monthly stipend
on account Of his absence from the
House on q certain day. The request
completely paralized the official, who
never heard of such thing before. We
trust that this scrupulous regard for the
public veal will not reach the other
end of the capitol, as it might be incou-
venient fer Senator Irby, for instance,
to settle with the Sergeant-at-arms on
these terms. He would come out in
debt to the Government, as he has been
absent greater number of days than
be has occupied the seat for which he
draws salary.
