T. IT. Caxn Dtarelr: Youra of
the 10th inat. hits been received and
the contents consi.tsred. Yon ear
that you have good many 'ri?nds
in the valley but a miration has lately
been raised as to the bark jmkj toted
last C'migress. We know that you
vote.! sgaiust mat bill, but w e have
not heard whether you staled your
account upon the back pay allowance,
or by the old mileage. Many of our
old Democrats say they will never
vote for a man who has tak-n back
pay. Democrats think yon ought to
stale your account on the old mileage
allowance at once if you have not
done so." ' Recognizing the right ot
the people to criticise all ray acts con
neeied with ' my recent public posi
tion, I shall givu tbe facte w hich re
late to my oompenaaiion . as member
of the 4d Cougreaa to. the press.
Not, however, iu the way of defense
or explanation, but as a means of in
formation to friends throughout the
State. My enemies may make tbe
moat of iu , I have nothing to conceal
or keep back with reference to this
matter.
My compensation accounts were
long since dosed .and settled ntider
the law as it stood at the time of set
tlement, aa they could not be t-loaed
aud settled under any other. Under
which law I received t'220 less thn.
according to precedent and rule, I
was fairly entitled to .under the .law
dieplaoed by tbe salary increase. ' and
my aggregate cotnpenation was lea
than received by any former represen
tative or delegate from Oregon who
served foil terra since 1K5G. I
speak from recollection, not having
the figures before me. Mr. Smith's I
believe, Is the next lowest.
TIae new bill panned within a day
or so of. tbe close of Congress. The
committees on mileage of the respec
tive Hoiiae had reported the mileage
of members, sud iu moat canea Jt had
been drawn, which, in the final settle
ment of their account, was reckoned
as so much paid njon the increaaed
pay. ' The llouite Committee at , the
rtml session at first settled my mileage
at the rale of ti;2'2 for the Congress
ot three sessions, which was in accor
dance with every precedent 'front the
l'aoiiio slope,, but subsequent Iv for
some reason, arbitrarily red -jced if to
a rale of $3,000, a reduction on $1,320
for the Congress.' I called for a re
hearing and brought In-fore the com
mittee X letter from Hon. George II.
Williams, the; affidavits: f; W.V.
Chauman. llarvev Meacbnm (na'w tie-
eeased), the reiilent upon, the Blue
Mountain at Lee's Encampment, and
Thomas O'Brien;: who ' had been a
stsge agent at the placer for near two
years,- to.- the ; effect that the usual
course of travel from here to the Eas
tern Statea was by way of Portland
and San Francisco! ' flrat allowed, by
the committee, and I also had a cer
tified statement, of the mileage of our
Seuators aud of Congrensinan Smith,
but to no- purpose. , I was a Demo
carl; the majority of the, committee
were l.f publican, and they roposod
to retrench expeuae. ' 1 .. u
Thus inuCters stood when the sal
ary iucrae wan sprung upon Con
greaa.1 When tbe roll call was made,
three of, tbia committee . responded
aye, one nay and one did not vote,
while 1 voted nay,' although iu effect
that vote' waa to keep the amouut ' of
my oompeueAtion t as fixed by - the
committee, being unwilling to recti
fy myself by.votiug $1.000,0--0. from
tbe treasury of the" United States!
considering lhat the adjustment' of
my private account bad nothing
whatever to do. with the vote I ought
to cast on(-a measure of : that kind
under the oatb' I had taken at the
openiog'of Congtessl '' X' claim no
credit for the act; it was simply - a
duty I had conveoanted with: tba
Eeople to 1 perform, lo which I ahioid
are - been . recreant bad I allowed
private gain to ' intsfere. ' The
raeanafe became a law,' having paaed
both HouHea aud received tbe l'reai
deuV sij?natoje, - Under tbia Uw .J
8,8. 0111164 to , draw tl.,100 more
than' I could bave drawn undar the
ruling of the coihtnittee on mileage.
I know of bo reason in law or morals
why I should not receive this part of
the emoluments ol the oCice .under
the circumstances I have . named. , I
have drawn and. receipted for it,' aid
I am unable to jee ,wby , my cou
bensatipn ahdultf' be' less than the
former ' nietnber-'of ' Cbngrena' from
Oregon, r; lean ihari ber Senators
serving . ir tbe other end; ol i tbe
capital for tia,.Bamsv. Congress. To

"NO. 51
This I bate not eea proper to do,
and do not now or hereafter intend
to do, not even to wcure tbe privi
leges of making a race for a seat iu
tbe 13d Congreu. ' I am iiot in
sensible to the good opinion of the
people of. tbe State; of Oregon, and
epeciall,of juy fellow Democrats.
On the contrary, I have at , all , times
ought to merit it; but in the aspi
rations I have bad to merit and re
ceive aucb good opinion; X have ever
ought to avoid acting the by po- j
crite, and will not now act the
demagogue. I challenge tbe most
rigorous scrutiny into my public acts
and votes. Tbe record is made op;
I am satisfied with it and . am ; will- i
ing to atand or fall by it. I have
every confidence that in every point
it wiJl be moat fully vindicated by the j
people of Oregon.
- It may be amies bere to refer to
tbe action of Congress in past year
in regard to tbe compensation of its
members. There baa been frequent
legislation upon ibis subject and in
every instance tbe change baa been
made to apply to tbe Congress panning
it, , X believe there is not a single
exception to tbia rule. Tbe j ay of
rueanbera ba been several times in
creased and once decreased. By tb
act of August ICtb, I80O, tbe com
pensation of Congressmen was raised
from $8 per day to. $3,000 per year
and was applied , to that Congrena,
dating back to March 4tb, 155, al
most eigbteea mouths, and tb back
Kiy was received by every member,
u the 28ih, of Jul;-, 18(, tl salary
was again raised from f 3,0)0 to $j.
000 aud applied to t .at Congreaa.
dating back to March 4tb, 18&, but
tbe act also provbled tbat nothing
herein contained shall t-ficct the mile
age account already, occured under
existing lawa." Tbe law also provid
ed that thereafter mileage sbould be
20 cents a mil going to and return
ing from, tbe seat of government.
Tbe mileage accounts which were so
carefully exempt from the operation
of this bill, was computed ouder tbe
act of January 22d, 1818, and is a
follows: "Eight dollars for every
twenty miles of estimated distance
by tbe moat usual road from bis place
of residence, to tbe seat of Congress,
at the commencement and end of
every tieasion and meeting,0 just
double preaent mileage. Every Sen
a lor end member of Congreas so far
as I know received tteir back jmv
and among tbeo eaa Hon. George
II. William and J, W. Nesmith of

Paciiic delegation was then, and un
til the first seanion of the ,Forty-firt
Cougreaa, computed by way of tbe
iMibtnua, ' making about o,VMJ or
over, mi'eage for each aesaion of
Congreaa saying nothing of count rue t
iv6 mileage tlien allowed and accent

owe you an apology for tbe apparent
tone of thia letter. . It might 1 sup-
posed that I considered yoor letter of
an uufriendlv character, such - i
not tbe case. I know that yoor let
ter waa prompted by the moat friend
ly feeling and I sincerely thank you
for tbe good will you Lave manifest
ed toward me in this matter aud also
for tbe opportunity, of making tbe
statement herein contained. I waa
already adrussa lost tots matter was
being industriously worked; up by
several parties to my detriment.
Hoping 'hat tbese statements X have
made will furnish all the data m

defeat tbe rrracbinatiou of thoae who

Congress baa pass-ed an eight-boar'
law for tbe national workmen. Tho
law was . sheer piece of demagog-

waa a fair day's work, and ahould re
ceive the old ten boua' wages. It
was a stop to voters, and. a-t far iu
it went, it said to the laboring class,
"Anything you want only keep u

in regard to labor; but. we' do Fy
