In regard to the “thousand dollar bill”
there seems to be an impression wit! some,
that by that act one thousind dollars were
put directly into the pockets of the members of the legislature in advance, before
any services whatever were performed,
whereas the sole effect and intent of %
Bill was to turn some of the money in the
Treasury, at the time the Bill passed both

the fact, that when the Legislature met, .

“In the Assembly last winter, a bill was

By this bill it was provided that the comuon school moneys should be apportioued

That we voted against the insertion of
the word *‘white,” in the school bill of the
last session, for good and valid reasons, is
true ; but that it was a test question, or
so regarded before the vote was taken is
‘n unmitigated lie, and has been so pronounced in the teeth of the editor of the
Democrat, before the above scrap of his
appeared in print.
The reasons which influenced our vote

and will be perfectly satisfactory to every
