tho Senators to DO introduced to the members
OF the embassy Individually. A general hand
shaking was the result, and, 90 usual, Man

amount Of money pfoportionafe to their pay
THE Tribune makes vigorous onslaught
upon the proposition to pay the employees the
twenty per cent. additional compensation. Tbs
random calculation which II makes In regard
to the amount It will take to meet this demand
upon the Treasury, shows the perfect reckless
ness Of the statements OF that Journal.
The question Of the justness Of this additional
pay 1T seems to US the Tribune does not take into
the account. The salaries Of all the clerks In
the Departments are now Just what they were
before the war, aud this being the case, they
| were either great deal too much then, or not
enough now. II seems to US that the Tribune
ignores this patent fact.
We would like to submit to the managers OF
| that journal q single interrogatoryf Has II
increased the pay Of Its employees since the
wari II Il has, whereforet We would like .
direct answer. It is very easy thing TO talk
| about q mans being able to support his family
| upon d, 200, especially when the men who say
1t gets tlo, ooo 100000, or even $4,000; and be-
sides II is very popular to cry out against the
| appropriations Of money now, the national
debt is so burdcnsome.
SoNH JOURNALS In this country are giving
| themselves . great deal OF trouble about AZ
fairs In Mexico, and the troubles In that coun-
try. We have felt all along that much OF the
talk about revolution there was not well
founded. ..
