What is the result of these Congress.

is made up by the quantity issued—not
so much to the advantage of the State,
but somewhat so to these . who issue'
them. Let me cite an example of the
way in which affairs aro conducted iii
that august assemblage, the 'Legislature.
The Senate, verrpropsrly, has an en
rollment committee That committee,
of course, needs clerks. They have
them, to the number of nine—one chief
clerk and'eight subordinates, employed
at the moderate rate of-eight dollars per
day for the chief clerk, and seven dol
lars a day for the remainder, making a
total of sixty-for dollars per (Tay for en
rollment, which is all done by one clerk,
and he only working part of the eve
ning; devoting his time during the day
principally to playing a very good ama
teur game of billiards, and a very scien
tific game of pool, if any of your readers

only allowed to administer the affairs of

slain froth the feet of the Pennsylvania
mountains to the gates of its own capitol

and twined the fame of the So en Pines'

that had exuded the waters of the Shen

its right arm out to the distant West,
had planted victory. on ektee - drooping

four gigantic campaigns, and through
all their shifting! and tragic 'mum and
