Mr Embree, an able and judiciomellibig member of the House,luid moved to arnend the first clause of, the general appropriation by inserting a proviso, that the mileage 'cif Members of Congress shield be calculated by the shortest mail route, andnot as now, by the most circuitous route that can be travelled. He edam - zed the committee of the whole this morning, upon' the abuses to which the lax principles prevailing ; in Congress relative to the compensation of its own members led. He showed that by their modes of Calculating mileage, some members received during the time of their actual service in Congress, snore than 540 per day. He also exposed in,a clear end able manner, the robbery atutuallycommined by members of Con- grass, in voting themselves whole libraries of Woke.
