Full Text
The accounts of Mr. Reverdy Johnson, ex-Minister to England, were audited a few days ago at the Treasury Department. His telegraph bill for the three months ending March 31 amounted to $950 in gold. This was exclusive of the large bill which was presented some time ago for cable telegraphing in reference to the celebrated protocol which the Senate rejected, and which has been paid by Baring Brothers on the order of the State Department. Mr. Johnson's contingent expenses during the same period amounted to $1567, which is considered moderate. The contingent expenses of Minister Dix, at Paris, for a similar period, amounted to $2900. The comparison of both items will show that Mr. Johnson was not, after all, so very extravagant.
