We find the following account of services rem
dered by Mr.. Badger, in the Fayetteville North
Carolinian of the 3Oth ut. for which our "whig,"
'reform," Economical" Legislature awarded him
the above sum. Our legislators must have been
very anxious to involve the State more deeply in
debt, to reward partzan, or both, from what we
perceive in the statement below


CHOW we have been Informed that the facts are
these: That Judge Badger went on TO Washing
ton to argue the cause remained there week or
two, visiting, and attending upon the debates in
Congress; came away without arguing it, and left
it in the charge of Mr.. Webster. As to his expen-
ses being 500, if necessary expenses are meant


it is as supremely ridiculous, as it is untrue. The
highest per diem board is So so; the highest
lCeakty board is $ Il and by the gear, good board
can be had in any Of cities, at from S 7 to
S 10 per week, and that the journey to and from
Washington city to Raleigh could not have exceed
ed 55. But months since, the whole fare from
Washington to Fayetteville, but S 21. So
that his Honor might have resided gear in Wash


ngton, for less than 8 500; and his actual neces-
sary expenses for the short time he did remain,
ought not to have exceeded S 100 AS TO the
value Of the suit being ''more than half million of
doIlars,'' it is all fudge and like the S 500 expen-
ses; humbrggery, to make the appropriation pass
with the people"
