IA The Senate committed piece OF extrav
aganc this morning by raising the pay of its mes
sengeTs, thirteen in number, to 81 ,080 for tie shor
term, and 81 200 for the long term. These mes
sengers are employed for three months during the
first, and eight or nine months during the second
year, or twelve mouths for the two years For
this service they viii receive 50 800 or at the rate
Of seven dollars day, including Sundays. When
compared with the salaries paid to clerks in the
departments, and other persons employed in the
Government buildings this IS a very high rate.
But n'isuporte-the Treasury IS oVerhowing, even
after the abstraction Of seven millions for the ben
eft Of Santa Anna.
The above information from the Washington
correspondence Of the New York Express, ID re-
lation to late piece Of Democratic aextraYa-

er value to Democratic professions.
These gentlemen never miss an opportunity to
squander the public money upon their Inenials and

A VERuFUGE CONVENTION. this land Of
free discussion, we have no end of conventions
They seem to be the most luxuriant product Of
our institutions, hourishing everywhere, at all
times, and on every imaginable subject. The
latest effort in this line is one held.at Warrenton,
Va, last week, called @the Joint Worm Conven-
ton" Its object was useful, practical and impor-
tant enough, being to concert measures for pre-
venting the extraordinary ravages on the crops
committed by an insect called the Joint Worm,
but the odity of prefxing such name to its pro-
ceedings, has brought upon these worthy agricul-
turists not a little ridicale.

WHAT NEAT?-The administration propose to
purchase the Island of Milos, in the Grecian
Archipelago, for the purpose Of anaval depot, and
suitable man is wanted to open the negotiations.
Barnumis recommended. He could establish at
one end of the Island museum, the antique
materials being so abundant in the vicinity, or
he could establish an asylum for neighboring ex-
lies, to be exhibited at so much head. In this
way the Island would be made to pay expenses. :

EGe Washington correspondents have knack
of making their letters interesting and spicy be
yond what was ever known before They all pos
seSs the one thing needful-the faeulty of inven.
ton. THEN imaginations are ever on the wing,
and no difficulties or Encouragement can daunt
them. Truth is much too tame for their eager and
fiery ancies, and as for fact floating or fixed, il
would be eminently disparaging to the daredevil
intrepidty of their genius to take any notice of il
at all. 1t IS only in an atmosphere of romance
that they can live and move and have their being.
Take from them the privilege of fancysketching
and you take that which not enriches you, but
leaves them poor indeed.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Express speaks of the progress and pros
poets of the "Know Nothings" at the South in
the following bold and confident tone:
"A sagacious Southern politician in reply to an
inquiry as to the prospects of the American party
at the South, recently stated that It's progress
there was far beyond the expectations of its most
sanguine friends. That the sinfeetionn had seized
upon the Baptists and Methodists of Virginia,
the Carolinas, Georgia and Tennessee, and was
spreading like wild fire through the whole South
ern country; nine-tenths of the Southern people
belong to those denominations which are well
known to be ultra-P Protestant in their views. The
general impression here is that the American par
ty win sweep everything at the South at the fall
election"
So far as we are informed on the subject, the
''infection" spoken of as prevailing at the South
among those denominations, is all fiction-t ma
tural and necessary progeny Of a penny-a-liners
brain.

lion.
English society Is rotten to the core
No matter how prosperous the country Ii, q
race 81 helois always exists, for the wealth
is absorbed by the capitalists and for want
of room the lower order Of workers are
ground down. But even amongst better
class 81 persons the misery and oppression
that exists are frightful. Thousands Of
girls who are tenderly brought up are ap-
prenticed to dress-makers and milliners to
the aristocracy, in order to enable them to
get living than BY domestic seryitude.-
These poor creatures are kept night and
day in miserable workrooms where they
may enable vulgar mistTesses, with their
husbands to live in extravaganza and SEN
suality.
sAnother feature of English society is
the brutality of husbands of the lower order
to their wives. A law has just been passed
to prevent this but it has been
inafectual. Englishmen are not less kind
hearted than any other men, but the i'm
preston they endure from masters who are
independent of them the difficulty they have
