The Daily Dispatch: December 5, 1860., [Electronic resource], Important Announcement. (search)
go with us. Maryland must be with us, too. In the House, at the time I was there, all was confusion — the galleries jammed with men, women, and children, the lobbies full of all sorts of people, buck niggers in dandy clothes visible in the approaches to the old House of Representatives, and on the floor of the new House, the members going to and fro choosing cents. The Message will be ready to-morrow, doubtless, and then we may look for exciting times in both Houses. In my dispatch, last night, I used the words per diem in reference to the pay of members. They are paid by the year, and what I meant was this; The rule is, for members, at the beginning of the second session of a Congress, to draw the pay for the months intervening between the time of the adjournment of the first session and the first Monday in December. Thus they are now entitled to some $1,300 each and mileage; but owing to the state of the Treasury, only $600 and no mileage will be paid them. Zed.
