C tlANU. JONfco, fed I tor & rprir lHTKKKD AT TO POST-Omffli AT CaAHLOrrM, H. d AH MOOKD-CLABB MATTER,! FRIDAY, FEB. 17, 1882. OPPOSED TO HEWUCliO. The committee on Civil Orvice yes terday reported adversely the bill re ducing the salaries of the heads of de partments and 'members of Congress which report was referred to the Com mittee of the Whole, where it will prob ably never be heard of any more. If ,this bill had not. in view the catting down of the salaries of members of Congress with the others proposed, per haps it might have met with some con sideration, but when it attempted to do that it killed itself. There is not a member in either wing of the domed house on the hill that don't consider his services cheap at $5,000 per annum, and there is not one in ten of them .worth one-half of it There are some of them who outside could earn more but they are few, and when the eight and ten and twelve thousand salaries are reached there are very few of them who draw them who could command near as much in any other avocation. The fact is high sala ries in government service are the order of the day, from the lounger who sits and whittles his time away as a -still watcher at four dollars a day, to the President who draws nearly athousand dollars a week for dispensing public patronage to his friends and partisans. We do not believe in that style of econ omy or retrenchment that borders on parsimony, but we don't see any reason why men in the public service should be paid salaries so disproportionate to the salaries received in the business walks of life by the same order of tal ent. There is' no good reason for it. And as a matter of policy we believe it would be wisdom to place the sala ries of government officers, employes, etc., at such a figure as would not tempt men to abandon other pursuits less profitable, to enter upon the scramble for office with the hope of living upon the government as they do now. The strife for these places now is becoming a national disgrace, and simply for the reason that they pay well and the labor li light. Let a vacancy occur worth a couple thousand a year or more, from a postoffice to a judgeship, and behold the aspirants that immediately flock to Washington, some of them reaching there, when the vacancy occurs by death, before th defunct former occu pant is laid away in the ground. Un seemly haste and unseemly scramble that follows, and for what? Not for the honor, for there is very little honor attached to official positions these days, but for the salaries they offer and for these the rival candidates cut up antics in public, get down on their stomachs and crawl in the dirt, bootlickmen that they might not otherwise recognize, abuse and slander each other, and en gage in all sorts of meanness either di rectly or through their friends for the spoils they hunger for and debase them selves to win. Small salaries would abate all thi3 and prevent the disgust mg scramble for office which is doing ' so much to degrade our people in the eyes of mankind. But this is too much to expect in this grab-all dollar and cent day, when the rule is to get all that can be gotten out of the government and give back as little as possible in return. The Richmond State says the Mahone coalition is breaking up. The Virginia Mutual sociation has collapsed. Protection As- Dr. Felton, the Georgia Independent is in favor of Gen.

The Senate yesterday passed, with sundry amendments, the anti-polygamy bill, while the House had a warm and lively time over the apportionment bill. Several of the bolting Readjusters passed resolutions yesterday that the proper place for General Mahone was in Washington attending to his Sena torial duties and not in Richmond die tating legislation. Iftiss Fannie Cavarly, of Ottawa, 111?. has got a verdict for $50,000 damages against Dr. J. II. Campfield, her family physician, for taking advantage of her while she was under the influence of an anaesthetic administered by him. Miss Ida Perry, a Massachusetts girl, boasts of a Buit of hair which trails a yard on the floor when she stands erect. It's all her own, too, but it makes her sad to think that she may yet be wear ing a wig, for this long hair is falling out so fast. The sanitary condition of Chicago is in an alarming condition, the increased death rate in January showing that the city is suffering from an epidemic of filth. For January, 1880, the death rate as 785; January, 1881, it was 976; and January, 1882, shows a list oi i,ns. The Sherman family draws about fifty salaries from the government Of thfl French family thirty are in snug berths.

Louisville Courier-Journal : The pub lic debt, less cash, in the Treasury, is seventeen hundred and fifty millions of dollars; but that arrears of pensions bill has created another debt of four teen hundred millions, which will sting" tax-payers for the next twenty-live years. No people on earth are taxed so outrageously and needlessly as Ameri cans. Atlanta Constitution: Mrs. James K. Polk is not wealthy. On the con trary, Bhe has outlived all her means, but like a true lady that she is, she has. never tnrust ner pecuniary troubles upon the public attention. Since pen sions are the order of the day, a more worthy beneficiary could not be found than the honored widow of the Presi dent under whose administration Cali fornia and Texas were added to our domain. Patrick county, Va., is somewhat ex cited over the discovery of some rich silver ore. CONGRESSIONAL.. The Senate It en a men tbe Coonidera Uon of the Anti-Polygamy and the H ouo Devote Itself to the Appor tionment Bill. Washington. Feb. 16. Senate. The President pro tern, submitted mes sages received from the President of the United States, transmitting the an nual report of the Indian commission ers, with a letter from the Secretary of the Interior, suggesting legislation upon points in tne report. Also a letter from the commissioner of education re commending an appropriation of fifty thousand aonars tor educational pur poses in Alaska. Hampton reported iavoramy a mint resolution directing copies or the offi cial letter books of the executive de partment of the State of NorthOaro- iina to be furnished to said State. After an explanation by Edmunds that a short executive session at this lime would be more desirable than at the close of the session in view of the arrangement for a final disposition of the polygamy bill to-day, the Senate, at 12 :40, went into executive session, and at 1 :15, resumed legislative business, when the regular order, the anti-poly gamy Din, was proceeded witn, tne question being upon the Sth section as reported from the Judiciary committee. This section vacates all registration and election of officers of a territory and devolves tneir duties, until provi sion therefore is made by tbe Legisla tive Assembly, to be created as pro vided by bill, on a board of five jpersons, to be nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, all of whom shall not be members of one political party. It further directs that the can vass and return ot votes at the elections for members of the Legislative Assem bly shall be made to thss board, which is to canvass such returns and issue certificates of election to those persons who, being eligible for election, shall appear to nave been lawfully elected, and that the Assembly after its organi zation shall have power to decide upon the elections and qualifications of its members, and to fill the offices made vacant by the bill. The preceding or 7th section disfranchises and makes ineligible to office in any territory or other place under the exclusive juris diction or tne united states any polv gamist, bigamist, or person cohabiting witn more tnan one woman. An interesting debate followed, in the course of which Brown and Mor gan, among others, spoke against the Keturning uoard feature of the bill. wmcn gave tne commissioners power to disfranchise all polygamists, which term they might construe to cover all Mormons inasmucn as polygamy is a tenet of Mormon faith. The remaining committee amend roent and the several sections of the bill were then agreed to without further debate, and the bill reported to the Sen ate as trom tne committee of the whole. Brown then renewed his amendment requiring that not more than three of the members of the board of commis sioners snail be members of the same political party. Agreed to on a party vote yeas 26, nays 24. Davis, of Illinois, voted aye with the juemocrats, and Manone was absent. Another amendment, offered by Brown, to the last section of the bill, was adopted, prohibiting the board from disfranchising any one on account of ms opinion on the subject of bigamy or polygamy. Several amendments were proposed and defeated ,by decisive votes, and after re-arrangements of the sections the bill finally passed by a viva voce vote in wnicn no negative responses were nearo. Mr. means tnen asicea tnat tne Den sion arrears resolution be taken up and laid over as unfinished business. So ordered. Adjourned at 7:05 p. m. House. Cox, of New York, from It. . A A ' 'a . . .

Warner, of Tenn asked that the bill and report be referred to the committee or tne wnoie. so ordered. Tbe consideration of the apportion ment bill was resumed at 1:45 : Prescott offered a resolution provid ing that whenever the House shall de termine upon any number of members: the same ' snan De apportioned among tbe States on the oasis or tne division used at the 46th Congress, and known as the old method. ; Bayne moved to amend so as to tro vide that the apportionment shall.ne Converse to amend the amendment so ajrto adopt the plan previously repsent ed and favored by him. Hooker, of Mississippi, submitted an amendment to the bill selecting 826 as the total number of Representatives; at 3 o'clock the previous question was seconded and a vote: was taken; on the amendment offered by Converse" to the resolution submitted by Mr. Prescott, and it was rejected. A vote was then taken on Bayne's amendment, but it only received 9 affirmative votes, while 148 members were recorded as being opposed to the adoption of the "Seaton" metnou or apportionment. sayne en deavored to obtain the yeas and nays, but was not successful. Prescott's resolution basing represen tation upon the old system of apportion ment was then agreed to without divis ion. The last hour of debate was open ed with a short speech by Horr, , of Michigan, who advocated the bill of 325, followed by Tyler, of Vermont, who spoke in favor of fixing the num ber at 294 SDringer stated that he would vote for 319, though he preferred the present number, 293. The number, 319 had been determined upon as one of mathemati cal and political equity by the last Con gress, and he therefore supported it. Uox favored 319, noiding that it wonid be more fair than 325, which gave addi tional representatives to Iowa, Wiscon sin and Kansas, surely rtepuDiican States, and to South Carolina and T&- as, certainly Democratic, and to .New York, which was likely tooe Republi can, unless the Democrats behaved themselves better. Prescott closed the debate, and in the course of his remarks reflected some what upon his colleague. Cox, for his change of base from the position he took in the committee .room. The ex cuse given for such -chancre was that the -New Xork legislature might fail to redistrict the State. His colleague evi dently did not take any pride in the rights and position which JNew York maintained among the States Of the Union. He only viewed her interests from the standpoint of politics. As Prescott concluded his speech loud cries of vote, vote, came from all parts of the ball, but Gox, in an indignant tone, de manded his right to be heard. The Speaker stated that time for debate had terminated. Cox appealed to the House to allow him a few moments to rtply to the im putations of his colleague. Page, of California abjected, unless he should be allowed to reply to some remarks made by Prescott as to the constitution of Calif orinia. Cox then asked that he be allowed to move to reconsider the vote by which the previous question was seconded. rrescoxc ouiecteo. 'That." shouted Cox, amid cries of "order" and "vote." "is a cowardly Dro ceeding, to attack a man at thee last moment without giving him a chance to reply, most cowardly." The speaker stated that the first vote would be taken on the amendment of fered by Cox, fixing the representation at 307, and ruled that Cox could not modify it by changing the number to 319. Cox thereupon withdrew his amendment. The next vote taken was upon t he amen menti offered by Anderson, of Kansas, hxing .the number at 325 and it was agreed to, yeas 162, nays 105. White, of .Kentucky, was the only re publican who voted in the negative.but tne following democrats voted in the affirmative with the republicans: Aik en, lieach, lieltzboover, Bragg, Culbert- son, .Curtin, Davidson, Deuster, Ellis, HiVins, Tinsley, Hobletzel, Jones, of Texas, McLane, Mills, Reagan, Richard son, of South Carolina, Shelley, Speer, Tillman, Upson and Welborn. lue Representatives are distnbuted among the several States as follows: Alabama 8.

South Caro lina 7, Tennessee 10, Texas 11, Vermont 2, Virginia 10, West Virginia 4, Wiscon sin 9. The next vote was taken upon the amendment offered to the third section of the bill by Beltzhoover, of Pennsyl vania, the object of which is to make it unlawful to divide any parish or county in the formation of any representative district, which shall consist of one county or parish. Rejected, yeas 117, nays ia&. ' Springer, of Illinois, moved to recon sider the vote by which the House had rejected an amendment offered by Cole rick, section 3 of the bill, so as to pro vide that in any State in which the number of representatives is changed by ttiis act the legislature thereof shall not have adopted its laws in time to enable the representatives to be elected to the 48th Congress, it shall be lawful for the Governor of such State, after it sh all have been redistricted, to provide for a special election for such represen tatives. When this amendment was rejected there was no interest paid to it, and uoienck was unable to obtain yeas and nays, but Springer's motion to reconsider was the signal for a scene of great noise and confusion. A motion to table the motion to re consider was immediately made on the Republican side and Dawes demanded the yeas and nays. Springer asked that the amendment be read but a storm of objections came form the Republican side and the Speaker ruled that it could only be read by unanimous consent. Instantly Hooker, of Mississippi, and Springer and Aiken, of South Carolina, were on their feet and insisting upon theirjight to hear the proposition upon which they were called to vote. The continuous rappine of the Sneak er's gavel had but little effect in allay ing the confusion, and it was not until consent had been given to the reading or the amendment that comparative quiet was restored. A vote was then taken on the motion to lay on the table the m.otion to reconsider the vote by wnicn the House rejected uoienck s amendment, and resulted, yeas 131, nays 4; no quorum. The Democrats refrained from voting. Without further action the House, at 6.20, adjourned. A. Fall are that Blair Cans Others London, Feb; -16. The assets of i ojxNinjiN. reu.
