Senatorial Perquisites.

From the Springfield Republican.
The attention of Senator Hawley is re-
spectfully but firmly called to a most in
teresting publication of an official char
acter, recently issued in Washington,
which declares that il cost the country
almost 81, 900 for each senator, or $l65,92l
for the lot, to pay for contingent ex-
penses of that body-that is, expenses over
and above the fixed charges of running the
Senate This publication shows that
considerable portion of this outlay went
for articles which are only incidentally
connected with the work of legislation,
such as quinine, 1880 grains; bromo-li-
thia, five pounds, and several cases of
bromo-arsenic water, mineral water by
the thousands of bottles, lemons by the
hundred boxes, sugar by the ton, import
ed pocket knives at from 81 to $40 EACH
card cases, manicure sets, cheap watches
and so on amost al intinitum. The title
of this publication is Senate Document

report of the secretary of that body COW
