It eeenie all the members of the Bowd wwre not satisiied vltih the ctarge of ttoe huilclüip; eommtttee, $195, for on page 45 the resolution offered by Mr. C.ill has the right rin in it ; itemized bilis for work performed, and tilie cost thereof, to be preeented to tdie boarcl, for oxaminatftra. THw sereral pay rolls are as in tontttC yeai-s, all were present, for full pay, none alxwnt, and if they are nwrked a.beent by the clerk when the p.iy rnH is made, ihowo inarks are not looked for vry Uberally, liufc few if any, womH be so liberal wlth their Jiired help. I rnsiy fe mistaken, but ha.s nat the judge of tlhe circuit court a íixcd sallary by the year ? AVliy makc an allowance of $100 ? On page 35 I find tliat Dr. Gibbrs, (ought to te mamed TaJcki) cbargee for export testimony, $500. He is an export in demanding laoge pay ; and after a good mamy pros and cons, it was allout'il by !ialv'., on page 39 uinder provided, ■witfluout a yea and nay vote, -vuiy ? But so it is all nloiiK Uiat Board, from the lfttlc officers to the sánate cha-mber and up. Large pay and very little work, aiul the productive laborers, much hard work aaid little pay. Lfberty! Eqnallty ! It sounds well, but is it true? ('■ K.
