The L. s. District Judges Salaries.

The Burlington Times approves of
Judge Poland's bill, increasing the sal
aries of the United States District
Judges. It thinks that the condition
of our currency, the immensely in
creased cost of living, and the fact
that the Judges are sometimes called
to hold courts i'll other than their own
districts, warrant an increase. 1t thus
concludes its article;
Judge Smalley is also called away to
hold courts in other districts than his
own, and so rapid has been the in
crease of the business of the U. S.
courts during the war, and the pro-
spective increase which promises to
ensue, in case Congress agrees to GER
tain legislation that has yet to be
passed upon, that few will agree with
the Tribune in denouncing Judge Po-
land for desiring to change the legis-
lation which gives the deputy collect
ors of our custom houses a greater
salary than the District Judges Of Con
necticut and Vermont.
When Judge Smalley goes out OF
his district to hold court, is he not
paid the necessary expenses incurred
thereby? The business to be tran.
sacted in Vermont can occupy only {
small portion of his time; and it il
more a matter of choice, we take it
than otherwise, that he holds courts
in other districts. Five Thousand
dollars may not be too much for tn,
n. Y. District; but four thousand dol
lars is for the Vermont and other dis
tricts that might be named, unless til,
business greatly increases. The PEG
: pie are already heavily taxed, and i
is too much to ask them to submit t,
more when there is no good reason
for it. We repeat what we said las
week: We hope Senator Polands bill

Why c. G. Clay, Jr. Is Detained.

1t appears that Clement c. Clay ,Jr.,
who is now imprisoned at Fortress
Monroe with jeff. Davis, is detained
in custody on account of his completely

established by letter found on a reb-

The letter is addressed to J. p. Benja-

although not signed, has been fully
identified as tue production of Mr..
Clay, who wrote from st. GATHERINGS.
G. W. After some general remarks
about Young. the St Adams raider,
the necessity of his doings being en-
dorsed by the Confederate govern
ment to prevent his extradition, and
referring to other enterprises planned
by Young, Mr.. Clay says:
Finally, disappointed in his orig

enterprises projected, he proposed to

The New Jersey SenatOrship.

The question as to the admissbiility
of John p. Stockton to a seat in the
Senate of the United States came up
for final action in that body on Friday
last. 1t appears that the two branch
es Of the New Jersey Legislature met
together in joint assembly for the pur-
pose of choosing Senator. Mr..
Stockton received plurality OF the
votes but not majority. The legis-
lature had never provided by enact
ment or otherwise, that plurality
vote should be sufficient to elect q
Senator. The joint assembly, howev-
er, adopted such rule, and Mr..
Stockton was declared elected. The
judiciary committee in the U. S. Sen
ate reported In favor of his admission.
There was lively discussion in the
Senate upon the question, after which
the vote was taken and there were %
yeas and 81 nays, Mr.. Stockton vot-
ing for himself and thereby securing
his seat. 1t was claimed that man
could not vote for himself in such a
case, but the President of the Senate
permitted it. The New England Sen
ators, excepting Mr.. Poland and Mr.
Foster, voted against his admission.
The case created good deal of ex-
element for the reason that Mr.
Stockton s antecedents have not beer
of the most loyal character, and at the
present time he is man of "doubt
full loyalty" and may be the means O
working infinite mischief, especially
where results are as close as the on,
above, which compelled Mr. Stockton
to vote for himself in order to secur,
his seat.
Since the above was put in typ,
Mr.. Stockton has been ousted from
his seat by a vote of % yeas to q
nays. On Tuesday the case coming
before the Senate, motion was mad
to amend the report of the judiciar,
committee so that it would read tina
, Mr.. Stockton was not entitled to
, seat in the Senate which was carrie,
by the above vote. A motion to re
consider was voted down.

War Debts.

Our readers will remember that
bill has been introduced in the House
OF Representatives "to reimburse the
loyal States for advances made and
debts contracted in support of the war
for the preservation of the Union.
The select committee to whom the
whole matter was referred has recent
ly made report. They find that the
whole amount of disbursements made
by States in this manner, reaches the
sum of four hundred and seventy-fve
millions dollars.
The State of Vermont alone has fur
nished 29,052 men under all calls re-
duced to three-years standard, and
has expended in raising those men
the sum of SS,806,759. The commit
tee have not considered it expedient
to attempt q system of reimbursement
sufficiently comprehensive to include
the entire outlay of the States. They
consider such plan as burdensome
and oppressive to the general govern
ment, so much SO as that it might re-
suit in impairing its credit. They
therefore recommend that sum be
appropriated towards the reimburse
ment OF the States equal to about one
fourth OF the amount paid out, This
would give to Vermont the sum of
1857, $50. The mode Of reimburse
ment recommended is to issue bonds
OF the United States to the several
States. redeemable at the pleasure o.
the United States, after twenty years
from date, with interest at the rate O
five per cent, per annum, payable semi
annually in lawful money. These
bonds are to be made payable to the
Governor of each State, and are not
to be disposed of until they become
redeemable by the Government.
This provision is considered of az
much benefit to the State as the Gen.
eral Government as affording the State
q sinking fund for the redemption o.
whatever State debt may exist. The
States are likewise to accept of this
sum. by vote of their respective leg
islatures, i'll full payment and dis
charge OF all claims upon the United
States. 1t is thought that this course
will tend to a more equal distribution
OF the burdens of taxation upon al
classes OF taxpayers, and have the ef
feet to compel the Southern States {,
contribute share in the payment q
sum of money fixed upon us by thei
own folly.

That $50 SUBscRIPTIoN.-I letter

emphatically denies the statement OF
the lying Telegraph that he had given
fifty dollars towards the Fenian move

The statement is a pure fabrication,
and utterly without shadow OF
foundation, as l have neither contribu-
ted, in any form whatever, to any en-
terprise connected with the Fenian
movement, nor have | ever been So
licted to do SO. You were, therefore.
most fully justified in giving to it an

heath OF the Hon. Solomon Foot

Recent ominous dispatches from
Washington which have found their
way into the daily press have filed
the public heart with fears that the
life of Senator Foot, of Vermont, was
In jeopardy. Those fears have been
realized. The death of Senator Cola
mer last November was grievous
blow to Vermont from which she has
by no means recovered, and now the
loss of another of her most distin
guished men fills her cup with sorrow
to evernowing. The Hon. Solomon
Foot, the great hearted and faithful
Senator from Vermont, died at Wash
ington, on Wednesday, March 2Sth,
1866, in the Gath year of his age. A
condensed biographical notice of the
deceased is subjoined which is but a
faint outline of the public life and SER
vices of our departed friend.
Born in Cornwall, Addison County,
Vermont, November 10, 1902; was
graduated at Middlebury College; a
lawyer by profession; member of the
House of Representatives of Vermont
during the years 1888, 1886, 1887
1888, and 1S47; member of the Con
vention for altering the State Consti.
tuition in 1886 States Attorney for Rut.
land Co., from 1886 to 1912; "a Repre-
sentative in Congress, from 1S43 to
1S47; and was appointed United
States Senator, in 1850, serving rs a
member of the Committees on For
cign Relations and the Pacific Rail
road, and Chairman of the Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds
He was reelected to the Senate for
the term commencing in 1868, and
ending in 1869. During part of the
Thirty and the whole of the
Thirty-seventh Congress, he was Pres
ident pro tenn. of the Senate. He was
also Delegate to the Baltimore Con-
vention of 1S64.-Dictionary Of Con
gress.
We have neither heart nor time
while this grief is so fresh, to express
our estimate of the life and character
of Solomon Foot. In these latter day,
when the country stands in need o
her best men and most tried patriots
we shall long and deeply regret tina
Vermont could have no longer the ad
vantage of the labors and experienc
of such eminent Senators as Solomon
Foot and Jacob Collamer.

Last Moments OF Senator Foot.

Inc 1oliowlng Is the Geographic ac-
count of the last moments of the Hon.
Solomon Foot:
WASHINGTON, March 2S.
Senator Foot of Vermont died at
eight o'clock this forenoon, peacefully
and beautifully. He was conscious to
the last moment, and just before he
died, asked to be raised SO that he
could look on the Capitol through the
front windows of his chamber. He
died in Mrs. Parker's boarding house,
which is but few rods distant from
the Senate Chamber. Mr. Foot has
suffered but little in his illness, but
has been of the opinion from the first
attack that he would not recover. To
an intimate friend last night who said
"God bless you," Mr.. Foot responded
"He will, l know He will" He died
Christians death, but lamented that
he had not openly professed Christ
during his life. This seemed to be
the only thing that troubled him dur
ing his illness.
