R. B. Hayes was a meuiler of the 39th and
40th Congresses. , Dining that time he distin
guished himself only by his votes for subsidies
and jobs. March 2, 1867. he voted for a bill
making extra allowance to contractors for iron
clad, which the Secretary, of the Navy testified
was kicked by one of the strongest lobbies ho
had ever seen. The allowances were in addi
tion to others already made by a Government
Board.. 'Mr. Hayes voted against the motion to
iwisttvinn ln Potisider:it itn rf t li . l.i 11 noainct'

the motion to lay' on the table; and in favor of
this bill. Ail allowance was wade under tbi
bill nmouniing to 250,000, half of wliich went
to Robeson's friend Sicor. Iogan and Sehenck
put through the House a bill restoring the iron
clad Comanche to its builders, by which. $179,
000 was tak n fn.iu th Treasury. The bill
was tlcnooneed on the floor by Mr. Spaulding,

but on only seven: were the Democratic minor

seven Mr. Haves is recorded in favor of these
bills, and never by speech or vote against
litem. The amount of land accruing to the
Union, Centra! and Kansas Pacific road under

most equal to the whole of New England, and
the amount of Government bonds issued to
them was $64,000,000. All of these bill were
cposed. and most of them openly denounced,
without effect on Mr. Hayes. Mr. Haves' only
'Vpecch.was made in explanation' of his favor

leen adjudgel null and void by the Supreme
; Court twenty-four :. years iK'fore. Mr. ,Wash

more fraudulent claim was never presented to
