This rate was to continue until March 4, 1795. The same act fixed the compensation from March 4, 1795, to March 4, 1796, (at which last-named date, by its terms, it expired,) at seven dollars a day, and thirty-five cents a mile for travel. This act was retroac

(This act was repealed by the act of February 6, 1817, but it was expressly declared that no former act was thereby revived.)

4. The act of January 22, 1818, fixed the compensation at eight dollars a day, and forty cents a mile for travel. This act was retroactive, extending back fifty-three days, namely, to the assembling of Congress, December 1, 1817.

5. The act of August 16, 1856, fixed the com pensation at $3,000 a year, and left the mileage unchanged. This act was retroactive, extending back one year, five months, and twelve days, namely, to March 4, 1855.

others who have not either drawn or covered NOTE.

After learning that it could not 3, 1875, some gave me written instructions to be covered in, except by their order, before July anticipate the latter date. I am unable to furnish from information in any of Senators who themselves paid into the Treasvious acts. I have not furnished the names of salary drawn under the act of 1873 or preSenators who have left increased salary undrawn, as this information was not called for in the resolution.
