Edltorial Letter.
_
Wssmivo'ron, DEC. 13th.
- -_ Dun Guerra—The Senate adjourned
from Thursday to Monday. to give oppor-
tunity to organize committee work and do
up the departmental errands imposed upon
Senators by constituents. The House has
put through another week of quite harmless
debate'0n the salary question. Last even-
ing it adjournedlto Monday. It is to be
hoped that members have been enabled to
put themselves “right before the country"
and sufficiently vindicated themselves to
gheir constituents, to'drop further discussion
and leave the matter to the good judgment
and action of the committee raised and in-
structed to bring in a bill on that subject.
There has been about as much empty dema-
gogueism exhibited over-this spay business
as there was concerning franking. We
have always believed that the honest people
of the country were indignant at the
s‘back” or retroactive feature of it rather
than the increase per se. Sunset Cox had
the reformer and I-am-holier-than-thou
conceit taken out of him most effectually
on Thursday. He is nothing, unless making
capital for his party,—not realizing that
it is dead,—-and lfas been incessant in his at-
tacks upon the “back pay”. and “salary
steal,” &c. Mr. Cox, it will be remembered
was elected in November, to fill the vacan-
cy caused by the death of James Brooks.
An examination of the pay rolls of the
House showed that he had drawn pay back
to the 4th of March, or for about three
quarters of a year before he was elected!
Mr. Cox has not been cavorting about so
- much at the front, since this broadside was
fired into him. ' The over-righteous member
from Ohio fared scarcely better.
Representatives Kellogg, Hawlcy and
Storkweather have spoken briefly on the
subject “and with ability and sincerity. Gen.
Hawley would seem to favor putting the
salary at six thousand per year. Up to ad-
journment last night, the indications were
thata change would be recommended in
about the line of Hawley’s views. After
the House has had its say and settled upon
a bill, it then remains for the Senate, to have
their tug at it. The Senate is less operated
upon by the lash of a. menacing or forced
outside Sentiment and will no doubt try to
adjust the vexed question so that everything
shall be lovely all around.
The chiefincident of the House debate,
' was the first speech of Alexander 11. Stev-
ens. He defends the salary as it is and
justifies his reasons bst clear and cogent
argument as any yet offered. When it be-
came known that the ex~confederatc Vice-
Presidcnt was to occupy the floor, the
- Senate was soon depopulated and the gal-
leries of the House filled with a. rush. ' The
old man rose and resting on a crutch com-
menced his speech with that same shrill,
whistling voice with which the old hall
used to resound twenty years ago, with only
Two rebel
generals, now Senators, and from twelveto
fifteen of the same sort, as present fellow
Representatives, were among Mr. Steven’s
auditors. On this occasion he wore 'a velvet
bap without visor, instead of the broad
slouch hat he keeps on his head all the time
of his sitting in the House. He faced the
republican side of the House, and seemed to
address his remarks particularly to that
portion of the House. He held that a‘mem-
ber of Congress should command the high-
est salary, aud commensurate with the re-
sponsibilities imposed upon him, and com-
pared .the supposed incomes of lawyers,
editors, physicians, and merchants, to show
that brain labor did not usually command
as high rates as was paid to those engaged
in professional, and mechanical pursuits.
He stated that had he been a member of
Congress at the time the bill passed, no
matter whether he voted for the measure or
110?, he Sligllld DEVIL retains»! ihq‘incrnn‘cna
p.._,, inasmuch as it was constitutionally
passed, and belonged to him, just as clearly
as did any recompense for Congressional
_ labor. His voice, though shrill, was loud
enough to be heard from all sections of the
chamber and the galleries, and his speech
was listened to attentively.
In the Senate vice-president Wilson hav-
ing given notice of the necessity which had
arisen of his being absent for several months,
on account of his health, Hon Mat Carpen-
ter was nominated in caucus of'be republi-
can Senators and elected as president pro
(am. This is deemed by Mr, Carpenter’s
friends, as a deserved “vindication from the
cruel newspaper charges made upon his
personal character.
The vice-presidents health is exciting
serious alarm among his‘frieu‘. He un-
doubtedly feels admonished of the necessity
of entire rest if he would recover. 1t is
said his trouble islalmost identical 'with that
with which Prof. Agassiz is so critically ill.

tory legislation. The petition presented by
Mr. Buckingham was from Morris K. J essu p,

The secretary of war has addressed a
communication to Speaker Blaine,prefe_rring
grave charges against Gen. 0. 0. Howard
for malfeasance in the office ofcommissioner
of the Freedman’s Bureau; The letter pre-
sentsa formidable indictment, but few be-
lieve that the General has himself acted with
wilful criminality. The best informed sen-
timent is truly expressed by the Baltimore
American. . ' '
He had under him, as the agents of the
bureau in the southern states, some of the
.test. rascals outside of the walls of the
penitentiar .who plunder and defraud with-
out stint. afortunately for General How-
ard, he was responsible for their appoint:
ments and peculatxons. It was equally
been with certain gentlemen whose use of
the cloak of religion as a shield for suudr
violations of the Decalo c, has recent
been e osed. For the sa 6 of his rcputa-
tion, it is to be hoped that General Howard
may stand in no worse position than that of
a victim of others.

ter to Mr. Dawes, chairman of the House
Committee on Ways andMeans, setting forth
that the revenues of the governmentare not
to place at his disposal the additional sum
of forty-two million dollars. To meet these
demands he recommends the restoration of
the duty on tea and coffee, (which will
yield about $20,000,000,) and an increase of
ten cents per gallon on the tax imposed on
whisky, 4 cents per pound on tobacco, and
the reenactment of the law taxing the gross
receipts of the railroad companies, express
companies, &c. If this should not be suffi-
cient to meet the contingency, he recom-
mends the restoration of taxes included in
schedule B of the revenue law.
Information has reached the State depart-
ment that- Santo Domingo is threatened
Willi a formidable revolution. The city of
Pucrto Plata, have pronounced against Pres-
ident Baez. The revolutionists issued a
manifesto declaring their reasons, alleging
that he wished to impose upon them his
brother Damian, to the presidency. He is
charged with acts of tyranny, misuse of
public funds, and the unconstitutional alien-
ation of Santana to an American company.
General Gonzalez has been elected governor
of Puerto Plata, General Caeeresjand other
leaders of therevolutionary troops, having
gone to Santiago to gain that place for 'thc
revolutionists. It is considered that a ma-
jority of the people are already against
Baez.

a‘worsc time for holding the Teachers’ In-
stitute than the last two days of last week.
On Thursday u'npleasaht'weathcr set in and
continued until the close of the session on
Saturday. Netwithstanding the rain, how-
ever, all the sessious were largely attended
by teachers and school officers, and by our
citizen’s generally. On Saturday the at-
tendance of teachers and school officials,
who reported themselves, had risen to I
one hundred and sixty-five, making one of t
the largest conventions yot held.
. The Institute opened promptly on Thurs- l
‘day evening, Rev. Homer N. Dunning, of 5
South Norwalk, occupying the chair. Prof. :
ET. Russell, of Trinity College, who has ,
gained wide-spread and well-deserved pop- i
ularity as an clocutionist, was first introdu- ‘
ced, and entertained the large audience
with a brief address on Reading, closing
with the recitation of several selections iua
most admirable manner. Mr. Birdsey
Grant Northrop, the active and efficient
Secretary of the State Board of Education,
under whose direction the Institute was
held,followed with an interesdng and in-
structivc lecture upon “Education in Eu-
rope,” which was especially valuable as
embodying views obtained in a personal ex-
amination of the various systems of those
countries of the old world which have re-
cently made the greatest advances in the
cause of education. Prof. Russell again
tooktho stand fora few minutes, closing
with the reading of a pathetic. sketch from
a newspaper,——as an illustration of his
views of newspaper reading.
Friday morning was partially pleasant,
and the attendance was very encouraging-—
115 teachers reporting. ‘ Prof. W. W. Rus-
sell, of Pennsylvania, occupied. an hour in
language exercises, talking chiefly upon the
subject of pronunciation. He was an easy,
fluent speaker,and his remarks and answers
to questions were ~well received. Prof.
Russell followed in:a short address, closing
with a recitation of that difficult selection—
“The Bells.” Prof. Northrop was always at
hand, ready to talk upon any subject
suggested. The attendance of citizens was
larger than we expected to see.
During the afternoon, 132 teachers report-
ed, and the Hall was well filled, showing
great interest in the proceedings on the part
of our people. Miss C. D. Browning, of the
State Normal School, occupied an hour
with an exercise in Drawing, with illustra-
tions on the black-board. ,
_ Prof. Northrop'talked for half an hour
upon a variety of subjects, after which a
class of about twenty five children from the
Down Town District School was marched,
in and arranged in‘ front of the stage by
Miss Brear, when Miss Cryer, their teacher
gave an exercise in vocal music, explaining
her process of teaching and illustrating the
method on the board, the children singing
in concert. Prof. 'Russell again appeared
and gave his final exercise in Reading. His
early departure was much regretted. Mr.
Thomas Thacher, of New York, lectured on
History, and although it was almost time to
close he was followed by Mr. Harding, of
Massachusetts, upon the “Geography of the
Nile"-or, father. a description of a trip up
that elongated water flow; of course he
could not do justice to himself or 30 his sub-

The evening was decidedly unpleasant.
and a small audience was anticipated, but
instead every seat in the hall was taken and
many were obliged to stand up the entire
evening. Mr. Northrop, presided, and Mr.
Potter, agent of the State Board, made a
briefaddreSS. He was followed by Rev.
Dr. J. C. Bodwell, of Hartford, who déliv-
cred an eloquent address on “Merrie Eng-
land,”~which was listened to with great at-
tention and received with great satisfaction
by the audience.
Saturday morning was stormy, and the
attendance was principally confined to
teachers. 'Prof. Woodrufi' talked upon
“The Management of Schools ;” Prof. Nor-
throp gave cne of his peculiar talks, with

ced a Russian lady, who was warmly wel-

broken English, a brief statement of the
state of education in Russia, the systems in
vogue in the schools, and replied to ques-
tions asked. Prof. Northrop then introdu-
ced the subject of Arithmetic.
The afternoon atten lance was good. Dr.
Leigh introduced the Phonetic system of
teaching, illustrating by cards and printed
characters on the board, Prof Northrop
lectured at some length upon Language,
and Prof. Bodwell talked about Vocal Cul-
ture. '

action of Gen. Belknap, the man of Marsof
the Cabinet, and admitted to be in “society”
circles, the Adonis of President Grant‘s civ-
il service circle. He left the War ofllce on
Tuesday, and all the turmoil and strife 0D
the border and,'threatenedw‘ar in 'Cu’b’aron
more Herald gascona'de, though that paper
is justified in its impressions that _therc “is
something in it." We believe it to be
true that Mr. Woodward absented himself
more in the interest of Tweed and other'
Ring Thieves than on his own account, up
to the. time of the recent convictions. We
had it direct from the New York committee
of seventy, that a. delegate was sent to
Canada while Mr. Woodward was there, to
.interview him as to his return. The propo-
sition 'was madchim to accept guarantees
of release from personal prosecution if he
would return and‘testify against Tweed.
In other words, go on the stand and make
a “clean-breast of it." This offer Mr.
Wood ward peremptorily declined, and
particularly on Mr. Tweed’s personal ac-
count, as he avercd at the time. From the
beginning the evidence :Mr. Woodward
only could supply of Watson’s doings, and
the transgressions of scorea‘of prominent
New Yorkers, not yet under ban of public
suspicion, has been recognized by Mr.
O’Conner and every effort has been made
to induce him to reveal the ring secrets :0
securely locked only within his own breast.
For this purpose be has~ been.shadowed
from place to place and his whereabouts
and aliases always knownin New York.
For this cause, it is stated, nothing has
been done towards recovering the property
Mr. Woodward had invested and distribut-
ed hereabouts with such a munificent
lavishness. Papers were at one time drawn
up and it was proposed to levy upon his
Norwalk investments, but the project was
withdrawn with a hope that he would yet
consent to turn State’s evidence. Since the
conviction of Tweed, Mr. W. retreated
to Spain and is known to be residing quite
comfortably with his old_confrere Dick Con-
nolly. Negotiations are now, undoubtedly
pending with him- to induce his return to
his home and family. It is no secret that
Ifhe can exact this with certainty of which
there seems no doubt—and also be left in
quiet possession of the property he acquired
it would seem tube the clearest dictate of.
“worldly wisdom” for him to accept the
terms. He has got many warm and clear
headed friends there, who are capable to
advise him, and we shall be surprised if
they do not add their pressure for-hisreturn
under these circumstances, now that his
testimony can in no way affect the fate of
his friend and patron Mr. Tweed.
Theré are not wanting, those who applaud
Mr. Woodward’s stand up to this point,
and equally despise the craven selfishness
of Garvey, on :the principle “there should
be honor even amen; thieves.” Here,
where‘Mr. Woodward,~ is so well known
and where so many have enjoyed his ill-
gotten benefactions, it is notstrangevthat
he should have manyland ready defenders
and friends. Indeeer. W. is ver'y'far
from being a hard or black-hearted villian.
Rather, he is of the jolly, rollicking hale-
fellow-wcll-met, ‘jcrry-go-easy-sort, whose
moral sense would readily discriminate be-
tween robbing an individual and ‘a muni-
cipality. Shall we'yethe him here again!
Many so predict. .

on Tuesday Mrs. Stowe followed the-noble

their musical education. Mrs. Stowe read
extracts from the humorous and pathetic
portions of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Mrs.
Howe,——author of the famed “New Battle
Cry of Freedom’. song,——gave the opening
lecture of the course, and had for her sub-
ject, “Men’s Women and Women’s Women]:
The two kinds of women, she said, often
conflict, so that thise women who have giv-
en greatest dclight'to men,have also been
those who have gained the love and sympa-
thy of their own écx. The former may be
characterized as one who seeks to monopo-
lize the approbation of men, and the latter"
as one who endeavors to maintain and car-
ry forward (the traditions of her owu, sex.
It must be admitted, she said, that (hose
women who are paralyzed by men, as it
were, are apt to become hard and unlovely.
We see them in society, the center of a circle
of aditilrers,but-they.are like one of 'our
brilliant winter nights, which is brighter in
proportion as it is colder. The women's
women are pains-taking and laborious ; wil-
ling to dcyotc any amount of time to mat-
ters of dress, and invaluable for thcprepa-
tions of crochet work at church fairs. No-
ble men, she said, have always wished wo-
men to be noble, and have often aided them
to become so.~ Mrs: flows is of small stat-
ure, but compact and thick-set, with a good,
motherly looking face. She wore a close
fitting black alpaca dress, with spaniel-cared
lace collar; is apparently about fifty, and
wears horrid spectacles. How I do detest
those great ox-yoke-bowed goggles! Why
will persons mar their beauly by clasping
them about their heads? '
The “Vescelius Sisters” were an neatly and
so richly dressed, and so free’from overdue:
as to look really charming. They came as '
near our national and patriotic colors of
red, white and blue as good taste would al-
ow. All were dressed in heavy pros grain
silk, with short trails, elbow sleeves and
high corsage. ‘ One was a delicate rose col-
or, the. second white, the third a rich, deep _
shade bf purple. The white dress. was
trimmed only with a broad, plaitcd box
flouncc at bottom" of skirt. The rose and
purple. dresses were made up plain, with
neatly wrought white lace overskirts. Long
kids to match dress colors, neat pointlace
collars, natural flowers in hair, no visible
jewelry, but all ease and grace of manners,
supportedthe enchantment of their voices.
' .OurConnecticut 'mcmbershave not yet

dure the oscillation of the cars, and so came
here from Hartford by steamer. This voy

The fame of Norwalk confectionery has
reached the Capital. Yesterday several of
the lady clerks at the Treasury formed a

Several households were severely .aifiict-
ed last week, by the dread presence of the
angel of death. An interesting daughter of
Mr. Asa C. Peck, of Waterbury, visiting her
grandmother, was taken with that fearful
scourge, membraneous croup, which proved
fatal, as usual. A bright, lovely child, only
daughter of Dr. John W. McLean, appar-
ently in strong health on Wednesday, was
.a corpse on Thursday,—'dying of scarlet

Our readers will see by our advertising
colnms that the Tea Party to be given un-
der. the auspices of the ladies of ‘the First
Baptist Church, for the relief of destitute
families, is a fixed thing, and we hope all
our citizens will aid in this praiseworthy en-
terprise. We understand it to be entirely
unsectarian, the proceeds to be distributed
to the needy without reference to their
church connection. Music and recitation
will be thrown in at intervals, during the
evening. We are glad to learn also that the
'ladies of the same church have already com-
menced preparations for a Combination
Entertainment of Tableaux and Music to be
given in the Opera House sometime next
month. Their arrangements are in the
hands of the following committee. Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. A. Earle, Mr. anders. J. L. Am-
bler, Mr. C. S. Prowitt, Miss Julia Lamb.
We are sure that an entertainment will be
given worthy of patronage, and the proceeds
are to be appropriated to the same purpose
as the proceeds of the Tea Party.‘ Remem-
ber then the Tea Party at the First Baptist
Church this evening, and look out for the
Combination Entertainment in January.

Mrs. James Hoyt, residing on Day street
South Not-walk, did her washing last week
Monday as usual and hung her clothes out
to dry, then being sent for by one of her
aunts who had been taken sick, she, as in
duty bound went to see her. On her return
home, lo, what was her astonishment to find
every stitch of clothing gone, some rascal of
a thief having “been there while she’d been
gone.” Now, not having any further .use'

Mess”. A. S. Barnes 65 Co., New York
and Chicago, have issued, a new edition Of a
pamphlet entitled “Education Abroad, and
other Papers,” by Birdsey,i Grant Northrop,
L. i D., Secretary of our State Board of
Ed ation. In “Education Abroad” Mr.
Northrop freely expresses his positive views
against the growing practice, of sending of
American youths. to Europe for education,
and supports his own decided opinions by
letters from many of our mostgdistinguished
Scholars and educators, All seem to believe
that while it is often desirable to cross the
ocean to complete studies in certain special-
ties, for many reasons the preparatory. and
collegiate courses should be pursuedat home.
The advantage of foreign travel, after the
completion of studies at home, are of course
generally conceded. The' other papers in
the volume are: Legal Prevention of Illit-
cracy; Culture and knowledge; Profession-
al study; Study and Health; Labor as an
Educator: Education and Industrial Arts;
Labor and Capital Theoretically Harmoni-
zed; Labor and Capital Practically har-
monized, A letter from Rev. J P Thomp-
son, formerly of the Broadway Tabernacle,
under date of ,Berlin, July 1873, is given as-
an Appendix, which closes as follows:
‘ “It should be understood taht, in matters
of education,.dmarz‘oa u no longer a borrower
on the European market. She has something
to give in exchange for whatever she re-
ceives ; and she cannot aford to give her sons
into the hands of strangers at the moat critical
period of youth. To sum up all, an Ameri-
can youth of from.twelve to twenty would
have little to gain in a European education,
and ifleft without parental guidance and con-
trol, would run the risk of losing much.
He might lose his manners and his morals;
his patrigtic memories and aspirations; his
religious habits and beliefs; he mustneeds
lose his identity with , American alumni—so
desirable for his comfort and his influence in
after years, and he would surely lack that
faculty of speech and pen in his native
tongue, and that discipline of his reasoning
powers in the straightforward, honest pract-
ical American way, which are so necessary
to his success in any department of profes-
sional or civil life, or in the employment of
any knowledge or science to the advantage
of his fellow men. Au Americanized Ger-
man can work his way far better, and is al-
together a better sort of creature, than a
Germanized American.”

“Q? . . James Brooks, accompa-
nied by her daughter, Miss Virginia, has de-
parted for Europe, to remain during the
winter. They have long been favorites
in Washington society. The family of Gen.
Butler still resideiin the mansion, corner of
Fifteenth and I streets. Mrs. Senator Ames,
me Blanche Butler, will “receive” with her
mother as abofi. Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Haw-
thorne, one of the proprietors of Congress
Hall, Saratoga, are to spend the winter here
and join in our“ gayeties.‘ Mrs. Senator
Stewart, of Nevada assisted by her daugh-
ter, Miss Bessie, will soon resume herre-
captions-for thc.season. Both ladies are
among the most popfiarof the numerous
members of Washington’s elite. Mrs. At-
torney General Williams, (now Chief Jus-
tice), is among‘he most highly esteemed of
ladies here in society, and will give a num-
bar of elegant entertainments during the
winter.- These two ladies, Mrs. Stewart
and Mrs. Williams, are deemed by- many as
the two most popular “party” ladies in
Washington. Their receptions are certainly
well “patronized” It is expected that Mrs“
Senator Cole and family, of California, will
probably again grace ‘soeiety during the
latter part of the winter. Mrs. Cole, with
her daughters and niece, added greatly t'o
the pleasures of the last season in Wash-
ington, Society is to have another sensa-
ruary, “Ernest,” Duke of Saxe Coburg, Go-
.tha, will arrive beret He is a brother-in-
lsw onueen Victoria, a general in’ the
German army, and willbe the first sovereign
prince that has. evervisited' this country 2
But, pshaw l he is fifly‘years of age, though
that sad fact is, mitigated-in that he
is single. Mr. A. B. Pullman and Miss Nel-
lie Pullman, of Pullman ear fame, have
winter in Paris. ,They are especial favor-
ites at the’f-White House, and mingled large-
ly in gafiiociety here last winter. We are
all in a flattentolearn that Miss Jerome, of
New York, is about to marry Lord Church-
ill, thir'd‘son .of the Duke of Mailborough.
Just think of a Yankee girl marrying a real
lord! One of thcgnost pleasing features of
our modern Washington life, is the daily
advent of~scores of bridal parties. This
has become thc‘Mecca to which all well-to-
do and well-doing couples, just married,
seem to repair. The corridors and galleries
of the Capitol are daily filled with these in-
teresting'people. It ' is now a chief part of
idlcrs’ busiuels to gaze at these timid and
oft-times comically-behaved persons, all
dressed up 'in {such prim and stunning new
clothes. I’m resolved on one thing, that if
I ever do get married, I shall strive at least,
to glide along with my lucky spouse with-
out betraying my situaticn by “spooning”
or’ taking on anymore “greenness” than is
natural to me. But then, ‘qnppose it’s a
very queer and strange predicament for
young. and timid persons to. get into. I
marvel at the universal impatience to take
to make ones self ridithllous. .
We’ve had Maggie Mitchell and Joe J ef-
ferson at the theatres, and the “Vcsceliiit
Sisters,” Mrs. Stowe and Mrs. Julia Ward'
Howe, at the Young Men's Christian Asso-
ciation. The young misses sang in trio,
and exhibited a marvelous and melting har-
mony of voice. When they sang “Nearer
my God, to Thee,” there was perfect. afl
_ ,tudur‘ne'wasileft desolate and poor.
Though he had gained what would have
been the summit of manyvmen’s ambition,
yet he could truly say in his condition, hen- '
or and position were but vanity and yen-
tion of spirit. His malady is one of those
brain diseases which afllicts so many of our
public men, and ,Mr. .Wilson undoubtedly
begins to have serious forebodings that he
avill not recover. The utterly unsatisfying
nature and emptiness of all human great;
ness are thus daily brought to our most ser-‘
lous consideration. ' '
Senator Sumner, in his worse than former
bachelordom, at his grand residence adjoin-
ingthc Arlington, was serenaded-a few
evenings since by the “colored brethren.”
While his admirers with the windinstru-
ments were blowing forth on the evening
air their gratitude to the great Massachu-
setts Senator, some “mis’r’ble nigga” stole
his costly door mat. As a “joke” it has
been greatly enjoyed by his loss sympathiz- .
ing friends. _ ~
I havebeen greatly amused and enter-
tained the. past week in the House, by the
salary, or as Mrs. Partington calls it, the
celery discussion there. Speaker Blaine is a
marvel to me. How he can keep such a
“school,” I. cannot divine. These great,
overgrown boys are ten times worse to con-
trol and manage that the wildest mob of
district school children I oversaw. The
New England members say Mr. Blaine got
a great deal of Presidential hay, seed into
ibis committees,—-which I interpret to mean
that the «West, or “Grangersfli cerried off
the most and the best places on his commit-
tees. ' - - .
That was a truly memorable “scene”, yes-
terday, when the Ex. Rebel Vice President,
Mr. Stevens, rose and made his speech, de-
fending the present pay of members._ He
had dofi‘ed his hat, 'with which be constant-
ly sits, and some kind - lady had furnished
him with a velvet smoking-cap,—just what
I had so many times hoped some “fired
southern heart” would send him.
The following bit of “by play” is report-
ed as having passed between the Speaker
and ]the dapper little successor of .Mr.
Brooks, Mr. Cox, f New York. Of course
his nervous restlessness and inability keep
quiet, wants to be known to fully appreciate
the repartee. The House had agreed to
proceed with' the debate on the salary bill
in twenty minute speeches, when Cox dis-
patched a page with the following note :
“Dear Mr. Speaker :—Put me down for
twenty minutes. S: S. C.” '
‘ 'Tb which the Speaker instantly replied:
“Dear Cam :—I would be delighted if 1 could '
keep you down h’alfthat time. J. G. B.”
Messrs. Kellogg, Starkweather and;Haw-.
ley have all participated in this debate with
intelligence and. candor, The poor salary

and digest and report on all the scores of"
bills, amendments to bills. and amendments

and commiseration. Like unto the subject
