CONGRESS- RETRENc tIMENT-M DA-
Wis LOUISVILLE JOu2NAL- ----- =
From Ms Nep Harsn Palladium


The present Congress il making itself ridiculous
py us puny efforts at retrehchment and economy
II has cut of door keeper and four little boys who
nave acted hs pages to the House and has curlaed
some other equally small expenses. In reference To
these matters, the N. Y. Commercial says il would mol
be safe 10 predict how far the work of reform will ad-
vance during the sent month, but valuable suG-
gcsllon has been put forth, that important saving
may be achieved by creating the office of PIN finder
To Congress, whose duty il shall be to sweep the gale
ries after the ladies have retired for the pns they have
dropped. Why do not these magnanlmous Congus
men cut down their own wages to a reasonable sur,
and especially do away with their abominabie
mileage syetem, under which they make grand de-
mocratic charges upon the Treasury pretence of
travelling cxpenses-and why do they not remove the
desks from the Representatives. Hall, when they
know that they used more for the transaction OF
private than of public business and that they pro-
long the sessions greatly and thereby occasion need
less expense TO the people of many thousands OF dol
lars year besides being the cause Of great delay
Of the public business When these proiessed econo-
mist willing TO subject themselves to little in
convenience for the public good, their attacks on
door-keepers and errand boys will not seem quite so
ridiculous.
IL has been proposed TO little by discontinue
ing the publication, in the newspapers, of the laws of
the United States. This amendment was offered by
Mr. Davis of Kentucky and we suppose he had in
view the fact that the Louisville Journal in his own
State was no longer employed by the Government to
publish the laws which circumstance probably nfu-
| enced him somewhat to offer the amendment afore-
said, But whatever the motive may have BEEN the
amendment strikes US favorably-decldedly so-and
we hope the Wing members OF Congress will stand
by it,
But we say again, let Congress rttrench in earnest
let them abolish their desks, reduce their wages and
mileage-let them cease wasting tlme-which Is IN
deed money-let them have short sessons--.et them
print less but give honorable price for what they
do pint-!et them look out and check the waste OF
money and property in the various departments and
then they W II have The credit OF being honest and
somewhat Conscientious but their conduct at preseni
| excites only disgust and ridcule

THE TARIFF AND INFRINGEMENT AND REfoRM.
The Senate resumed the consideration of the reso-
buttons of Mr.. CLAY in relation to the adjustment OF
the duties on imports, the limitation of the expend
lures of the Government, and suggesting curtail-
ment OF all unnecessary expenses and the observance
of a rigid economy.
Mr.. CHOATE addressed the Senate, and main
tanned that il was the imperative duty of the Gov
eminent to afford adequate protection to domestic man
ufactures
Mr.. MILLER obtained the floor but declined
speaking in consequence of the lateness of the hour
(, Ihe Senate then went into an Executive session
and after short time spent therein, the doors were
opened, and it adjourned. s<

INFRINGEMENT AND REFORM.

| Members of Congress do not seem to attach the
usual meaning to these terms. They regard them as
mere cabaistic words to be used for the purpose OF
delusionparaded in pompous array to set off speech
es intended impress the world with their mock pa
triotism. The people beginning to feel, and that
too most deeply and painfully, that there too ma
ny demagogues in Congress. The whole time is oc-
cupied in making stump oratons, and talking about
thousand things that ought not to be mention
ed there. More than three months of the session
have already passed away, and what has been done
/ Nothing-absolutey nothing.
One member after another hops upon his feet and
fires away about retrenchment and reform, causing
by his long-winded defamation an expenditure of
some ten thousand dollars in debating a proposition
for retrenchment of five hundred. If this is the
kind of retrenchment that we are to have, we pray
them to give us no more of it. By carrying it little
farther, they would ruin us altogether
The people want something different from this and
they will have it. They will not be trihed with for
by their agents. There are great evils in exist
ence and blow must be struck at their root They
do not consist in few trhing expenditures, but in
the effects which flow from the pay and privileges of
members of Congress. These must be cut of so as
to take away the inducements for waste of time
and long sessions The pay should be reduced least
one-half This would be commencing at the right point
The benefits resulting from it would be not merely
the direct saving of money but the great influence
that it would exert in other respects. 1t would put
stop to the prohigae waste of time encouraged
per day. The sessions would be shortened the bu-
sness of the nation would be attended to with prompt
ness and energy electioneering speeches would be
made at home where they belong, instead Of on the
floor OF Congress where they would longer be lis
tened to.
1t is this moral effect which the people desire to
see produced The mere saving of money is secon-
Diary consideration, although it would be sure to fol-
low such reform would secure faithful and firm
devotion to the great interests Of the country.
m in
They have formed Temperance Society, which we
understand has produced a very happy effect the ex-
ample at any rate is sautary. Why can they not
follow up this NOV ement with more important one
having reference TO the momentous, the patriotic and
solemn duties which devolve upon them the cho-
sen legislators for mighty people acting before the
eyes of the whole world II is painful
to confess IT. yet truth compells to say that the d.
latory action the trihng with the present m ,men-
tous crisis the attempts to promote party nrgues at
Washington, indicate that the American Congress has
no adequate sense Of its high calling and its tremen-
dous responsibility.
