The Hon. A. P. BUTLER, of South Carolina, has
been appointed by the Legislature Of his State q
Senator in Congress for another term of six years
from next March, when his present term will ex-

appointment to it, we feel free to say, would afford
more sincere or universal satisfaction among its
members than that of Mr.. BUTLER; nor indeed
satisfaction to all who value the dignity, re-
spectability, and usefulness Of the Senate. 1t is
the more gratifying just now, as making some
amends for the loss which the body will sustain at

of some Of its most able and esteemed members,

OFFICIAL COMPENSATION.

Our paper to-day contains full report of the for
chile speech of DIR. Senator BADGER in explanation
and support of the bill which he introduced few
days ago to increase the compensation Of the Judges
of the Supreme Court and of the Members of Congress
Hardly any body We think will dissent from the JUS
tice Of this proposition It is surprising, indeed in
view Of the circumstances which have heretofore
prompted increase Of pay to other public servants
that the move now made by Mr.. BADGER has not
been made before; but there is fitness in the intro
duction Of the proposition by a member who, while
he may be supposed to have felt the justice of the
measure will not be here himself to enjoy the bene
fit of it. Remembering, as we do, the good effect
which resulted to the business of Congress from
the experiment of the salary system many years
ago, we could have wished that the increased COM
pensation now proposed to that branch Of the Gov
eminent had taken the same shape.
