Full Text
It was erroneously stated in the Report of the Proceedings of the House yesterday, that the Judiciary committee had reported favorably to the principle of increasing (at another time) the emoluments of District Attornies, Marshals, Clerks of Court, &c. as well as of the District Judges. The report was favorable to increasing the salaries of the last, but it recommended diminishing the salaries of the other officers. And well it might: for the office of Attorney of the United States is now a most lucrative one in certain districts, and in one of them affords to its possessor a net income of twenty-five thousand dollars.
The account of the Proceedings of the Senate for several days past, which are not very important, are unavoidably postponed for want of room.
