Why, sir, he sent in to the committee a claim for five days' attendance, at two dollars a day, amounting to the enor mous sum of ten dollars. The Congress of the United States ought certainly to increase his salary, and make it six thou sand and ten dollars. But how did he get it up to ten dollars? Why he would come to the committee room, undergo an examination of half or three quarters of an hour, or less, and then say he was compelled to leave the committee on oi ficial business. In this way he made out seven days, and sent Ins . account, in writing, by a confidential messenger, with authority to receive the money; but it turned out that no more than five days could be made out from the journal, , by which he said he would .be governed, in thia important affair, and so he; gets Uis ten dollars. - Thisf Mr. Chatrinaii Js Levi Woodbury, Secretary of jtheTreai been going on slowly for the cloth and letter paper. the air, it burst into flames in the news paper.
