at | o'clock the bill making appropriations for the
legislative executive and judicial expenses Of the Govern
ment for the year ending June So 1867 taken up. II
is bill OF 81 pages, and provides Tor the salaries OF ohcers
in the different departments.
ON the question Of adopting amendment placing
100000 at the disposal the Secretary of the Treasury
increase, At his discretion, the compensation OF the
/ clerks of his department,
Mr. WILSON said he was opposed 10 giving such discre:
ton any and especially TO the present Secretary OF
the Treasury. II would give that official too much
troll over the men in his Department.
Mr. FfssESDES said that the political course of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury had not been very agreeable per-
haus TO Mr. Wilson, and perhaps not. to a great
other Senator'S but he knew the Secretary TO be faithful
and competent public officer The policy of the proposed
amendment had been inaugurated under Mr. Chase and
continued since.
Mr. HESDRIcKs SAID there was nothing in the record of
the Secretary of the Treasury 10 Ar. Wilson's
preston Of want of confidence in him He believed him
10 be a capable and ahul officer. As citizen Of lndl-
ana he was pround OF him. Political differences ought
not 10 be allowed TO prejudice the minds OF Senators IN
such a matter.
After some debate, in which Messrs. HOWE, TRuMBULL
and HOWARD took part Mr. WILSON said in reply to tho
remarks of Mr. Hendricks that he had desire to
mpuaOns upon the Secretary Of the Treasury but il was
weknOwn that h. the Secretary had done great many
things Of which the mass OF the people through the
country do not approve He had appointed men 10 Office
without requiring The oath prescribed by law There were
great complaints against him for his course IN the selling
of gold. He WILSON, had received letter from emf
nent merchant a NewY0rk on this subject IL was very
well known that when Others were IN favor of coming
down and recognizing the existence Congress he stood
out dc6any and boldly in speech which he WILSON,
would not undertake 10 characterize He had gone beyond
the President himself in maintaining apocy that 80 out
OF every 100 citizens were opposed TO.
Mr. FfssENDES said it was In bad taste for men to turn
questions Of business into political attacks IL was in bad
taste also 10 attack absent men. lie tessenden) did not
agec with the Secretary in bis speech, and thought the
sieeob was in bad taste He believed il showed nothing
much that the Secretary was not IN the habit OF max
ing speeches and hardly knew where he was going when
he commenced.
Mr.. GRIMEs said it was prepared speech. He orr
Grmes was there and beard it, and he noticed that the
