“Clerba” Resolution.
Mr. Brown said: Mr. President, I do not
think I am actuated by selfish motives in the
Introduction of this resolution. 1 thin!* there
exists* great public necessity for Its passage,
i for tba appointment of a clerk for each
Hcnator.
The poaltlou of a United 'late* Senator is a
very high and important one. 1 Aeh Senator is
a representative of a State, and ‘.here are but
i Senators on this floor to represeut each
State. A United States Senator, therefore,
ought to be a map of a large measure of ability,
great experience, ol mental culture, well
acquainted with public attain, and qualified to
devl with the great problems of sU'.csuunshlp
that must come before the Senate.
t la reasonablo to say that the States select
Senators and send them here with a view tc

In every department of the government and^n
almost every branch of business the brainpow
er of a few directs the labor of thousands. Take
a great railroad corporation. The president
and directors think for every person employed,
and their brain power, so far as the Interests
and labor of the rom|«ny are concerned, di
rects the wlioto operations and affairs of the
company. Our constituents send us hereto

Mr. Jonoe, of Florida, introduced a bill

pioned the measure, spoke at length, lie
denied that the resolution of 1877, which
authorized tho payment of the oontractors,
was rushed through Congress as asserted
by Mr. Conger, and referred to the official
record to show that it underwent protracted
disc ission in both Hoosee; Payment was
not made because of a ruling of the then
Postmaster-General that all claims of this
class should be presented bfiMfla?wi

Conger were unwarranted, as the resolu
tion prohibited tho payment by tho United
States of any contractor who boa been paid
by a State or tho Confederate State*,
or his payment bey ond the date at which
mail carriage ceased. In three and other
respects which he enumerated he oonterd-
t d that the rights of the government were
more closely guarded than they were in
prior legislation. As disproving tho chvrgo

sion had been turned over by these con

State*, after the opening of the rebellion,
Mr. M!axey said, the postmasters, not the
mail contractor*, were the custodians of
the property, and that the demand of the
Confederate government for its surrender
wm addressed to the postmasters. Me con
tended that theeo claimants continued to
perform their contracts with the United

"How's Col. Willingham ?" “How's poor

Why do they feel so much anxiety to know

solace with which to wear away the long

From her youth aunt Hannah waa known
and rrapected among the congregation of
Mount Zion Baptist Church as being a

far io Situs of the appropriation of former
tears, lids waa tha first river and harbor
bill that had contained any appropriation
oommenauraU with the great work of im
