GOLD FOR THE OFFICE HOLDERS
PAPER FOR THE PEoPLE.-This is the
system introduced by the present shin
plaster administration. The practsce,
however, of paying the office holders
with gold, when brought before the
eyes of the people, is not SO highly APP
proved by the latter, as the government
probably expected from their firm "sup.
porters." The Alexandria Gazette
says -" When the Scrgcant.at Arms
went round with his bag of gold to pay
the members ofthe House Of Represen-
tatives the other day, the Indignation of
the people in the galleries was audbly
expressed" The same paper adds
that great quantities Of gold and silver
have been sold to the brokers in Wash
ington by the members Of Congress.

Congress did ltle or nothing" Yesterday For
about an hour or more, we had very warm and
decided passage olwordy between Mr. Gholson Of
Mississippi, and Mr. Henry A. Wise of Virginia.
The day before yesterday Mr. Gholson, spoke
in very warm terms ofccnsurc Of the conduct of the
Whitney Committee of Investigation of the last Ses-
sion, and SAID that 1t was dsgraccrul to the Com
mittee, 10 Congress, and to the country
Mr.. Wise, yesterday admitted the truth Of the
cen ure OF Mr.. GholSon; but added, that il any
man would say, that either h.. or Mr. Bale Peyton,
was the originator Of that disgrace, he would call
him lar.
Mr. Gibson replied that both Wise and Pevnn
were members ofthat Commttec-thev know what
took place and were capable forming their own con-
cusion. That, as for Mr.. Pevton, he, Mr.. GholSon.
had not made any remarks concerning him, for he
was incapable OF Attacking man, not now of Con-
gees and who II asSailed, had no means of defend.
mg himself. What lac had said, had been repeated
and Published, aud Mr.. Wise was at liberty to
place what construction upon it he thought proper
and he, Mr., Ghoson, would hold himself resp6nsi.
BE. To this Mr., Wise did not reply. Irhe blink,
