I Having expelled Bright, the Senate can

OF the two, be is most guilty, and proper
investigation will demonstrate the fact. He
has no business participating in the secret
sessions. of that body in its discussions of
our delicate relations with foreign powers,
growing out Of the war. And at time
like this, when the fate of the Republic
hangs suspended by a single thread, the
United States Senate has no right to jeop-
ardize the liberties and happiness of the
people by retaining as member man
who is notoriously in sympathy with those
in rebellion against its authority, and who
has expressed an ardent desire for its over
throw. u11 "at faBoasT - Esa1

nGF One of the most singular hallucina-
tions has seized upon number OF our
friends in the city. They honestly suppose
that we have nothing % do; that we follew
liv.s Of elegant leifu 9, and that the hours
ordinarily given by ter men to business
are with as seasons q recreation and idle
ness. We presume this is their opinion
from the fact that every day for month
past, our sauctum has been thronged with
visitors, who interrupt our labors, and
interfere not only with our own business,
but with that of half dozen printers IN
the. composing rooms. We therefore re-
mind our friends, in all kindness, that our
duties are not only laboIious and constant,
but they must be discharged promptly in
business hours, and we ask them to treat
US as they do other business tnen, and rest
assured, that we will receive them cordially
when our work for the day is ended. s.

A Rich HAUL.-On Friday morning last,
the Surveyor of Princeton arrested a couple
of fellows who got off the train the even
ing before, and who were in search of 2
conveyance by land to Mt. Vernon A
search of their persons developed the fact
that they were a kind of travelling post
office Their under clothes were padded
with letters, nicely stitched in, and even
their boot legs were also lined with the
same kind of documents. Some of the let
ters were from Europe, and no doubt con-
tain information which the rebels will re-
gret to lose. One of the men had large
amount of gold on his person, and seemed
fully prepared "to pay his way, to any
part of the country. The prisoners were
brought TO our city Saturday and sent to

Z THE FRANKING ABUsE.--Itis questiona-
BILE, after all, whether the Senate passes the
House bill for the abolition. of the franking.
privilege. The Senate has heretofore twice
passed a bill to abolish the abominabIe
nuisance. If honorable Senators would
vote in good faith, now is the time to prove
their faith by their works, in passing the
House bill just as it was sent 10 them, If
Senators agree to any amendment Whatever,
tue bill will probably be lost by juggle
between committees Of conference. From.
the way action on the bill in the Senate is
delayed there is reason to fear such is the.
intention of the honorable gentlemen who
are each receiving in one way and another,
from the public, $5, 600 year. The cors
respondent of the New York Evening Post
writes, on the ID February aF. = s ssa
II is not probable that the franking privi-
lege will be abolished at the present session.
The Two branches of Congress viii disagree
as to amendments, and the bill will proba-
bly, tumble to the ground.

biities be was strengthened by the assur-
anee which he felt that the people of the
country would sustain the Government in

B% There is a proposition before Con-
gress to reduce the pay of the soldiers.
This would be wrong, impolitic and unjust
in the highest degree. These men enlisted
with the promise of SIS per month and
rations. This was a partaof their contract
with the Government, and The latter has no
right to change it, without at the same time
giving the soldiers the alternative of leaving
the service or re-enlisting under the new
terms. The pay of our soldiers is higher
than in any other army, and the cost of the
war in the same proportion But this pre-
sents reason for wasting no time in prose-
cutting the war, and not for cutting down
the pay after the service is entered into
i If there is to be a reduction anywhere,
letit be in the pay Of Congressnen. Each
! member of Congress now draws out of the
Treasury in salary, mileage and books, not
less than $4,000 OF $4,000 per annum. It
ought to be reduced at once. But $13 per
month is little enough for the patriotic soldier
who has volunteered his services and suffers
every hardship, and freely pours out his
blood for his country. We have not noticed
any bill of retrenchment in which it was
proposed to reduce the payment of Com
gressmen. Gentlemen may be assured
their constituents expect The. pay of mem
bers Of Congress to be reduced. Those who
opposeia reduction will be remembered al
