The Washington correspondent OF the Bal

was offered by Senator Trumbul, to pay the
Senators lately admitted from the Southern
States compensation dating from the begin
ming of this Congress. The inconsistency and
extraordinary character of the resolution were
so we'll shown up by Mr.. Davis that Mr.. Trum-
bull suffered the resolution to go over The
Senators lately admitted are eight in number.
They have given but a few weeks of their
'valuable time" to the country, and yet Mr.,
Trumbull proposes to pay them at the rate OF
$4,000 year from March 4, 1867, These Son
ators would thus draw up to the4th of June, Sc,
$50 piece, when at that date not one Of them
had been admitted to his seat: This is what
may be called pretty profitable "carpet-ba9s

ton to pay its new members from the recon
structed States only from the date Of THEN
