o AS the time for the organization of
the 4lst Congress draws near the inter-
est at Washington in the organization
of the House grows apace. The chief
interest is in the "Speakership. =. Only,
two candidates are tat all prominent,
viz: Mr. Blaine, of Maine and Mr..
Dives, Of Massachugetts.. AS between
thesetwo we cannot help feeling pre-
ference for, Mr.. Blaine. Fe+Hwas a
Washingto ton. county (Pa.) boy, and was
youthful friend and. college mate of
one of the Editors of this paper. Even
in his youth he was favored with what
Napoleon considered the distinctive
mark of abilityAa nose OF generous
proportions, and was familiarity known
among the college boys as "Nosey
Blaine" Mr.. Blaine's career in Con-
gress has shown him 10 be one of
the brightest, shRrpest, dearest head
ed men. in the country His
of. the, campaign In Maine
last Suma ler and Fall was admirable ;
and considering tho influence of the
opening victory there upon The elections
that followed, the Republican party
may fairly consider itself as indebted to
Mr.. Blaine to the extent of at least a
compliment. Mr.. Blaine is justly re-
puted one of the best, il not. the re"diest
and, best of the parliamentartans in
Congress: He. would preside with an
ability and readiness not much inferior
to that of Mr.. C6lfa3. 1t seems to be
eoncededthat the Speakership this time
Is to. go, to-. New England; and. as
between her two candidates. While we
admire the abilities and elevated char
ncter of Mr.. Dawes, we confess that our
sympathtes snd preference arc on the
side of Mr.. Blaine.

The FrnnkIne I3III.

The full text of the bill restricting
and regulating the Thanking privilege,
which went to the President for his sig
nature on Saturday, is as follows:
Bet enacted, &C., That 1t shall not be
lawful for any officer of the govern
ment, member of Congress or any other
person entitled to the franking privi-
iege, to exercise the privilege otherwise
than by his own autograph signature
upon the matter franked, and all let
ters or other mail matter not thus
ranked by written signature OF the
person entitled by law to exercise said
law shall be charged with the rates of
postage which are now or may be hereat-
Ter established by law.
tits said the President Will sign this
bill, if he has not already done so. Ono
of it's operations is to cut of the exist
ing privilege OF sending letters to
members of Congress free. 1t cuts off
the privilege of free communication
Just where it ought to be allowed, but
takes away none OF the privileges of
members OF Congress or other officers
OF the Government now favored with
the frank-except that It does not allow
them TO hayo their franks printed by
wholesale and indiscriminately ns so
many of them have been doing.

THE TENURE. OF oFFICE ACT.
The Senate, Tuesday, by the decided
vote of ii TO Sc, refused 10 take up the
bill relative to the tenure-Of-otfice act.
The only Republicans who voted to
take it up were Warner, kellogg, Rob-
ertson and Morton, while Ferry, Fes-
sender, Grimes and Morgan were pres.
ent and did not vote. There is good
deal OF feeling about this action aud
that taken Monday in caucus. Some
of the Senators who voted in caucus
for Pomeroy's resolution postponing the
bill to next session say they supported
the original act on principle, believing
it within the constitution and expedient
for all time, and that they will not now
under any circumstance go for its re-
peal, though they intend 70 confirm all
of General Grants nominations, and
they hold that the refusal to repeal is
no more distrust of him on their part
than the desire to have it repealed is
distrust OF the Senate. Others say thew
will vote for repeal or such modiiica-
ton as will be satisfactory to General
Grant after his Inauguration, but
can't do 1t now, because they don't
intend TO give Mr.. Johnson chance
to slap them in the face by
pointing out that he had always held
the act an unwise one, which they now
confessed, and they add that the coun-
try is just as unreasonable now in de-
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1869-02-25

manding the immediate repeal rs 1t was
when 1t insisted with such vehemence
on turning out Mr.. Johnson, because
of has action HbputHMrf Stanton. inns
latter class of men say It Will ne very
easy, alter the new Senators OF inc next
Congress take their seaIs, 10 meet Lns
assumed views of General Grant, ana
that measures to that end Will be taken
within n week after his Inauguration.
There is another class which believes,
the original act will neither be repealed
nor modified. The seven Republicans
who voted against impeachment arc all
for the repeal, and the sooner the bet
ter, while those most strenuous against
repeal were among the most ardent
impeachers. Nearly everybody seems
to admit that the law has In many re-
spec!s worked bad, though some claim
that but for it Seymour would have
bseu elected last fall. But they think
that with such notifications as are
proposed in the Senate bill, and the po-
itical harmony between Congress ana
the President things will move on WITH
out serious friction, and the law iWl!!
prove to be both wise and eXpedlent'"
THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
Was sent to the Conference Committee
Monday by large vote OF the House
ard eleven majority in the Senate, the
Republican Senators who voted against
the reference being. Messrs. Abbott.
Corbett, Grimes, Kellogg, Pool, Rice,
Robertson, Ross. Sawyer, Spencer,
Warner and WEIGH. 1t will be noticed
that nine of these are from the South,
their fear being that the Committee will
strike out the Office holding clause.
The Pacific and Rhode Island. Senators
want the 3word "nativity" cut out.
THE JUDICIARY BILL.
Passed by the Senate Monday afternoon
was drawn up by some OF the Judges Of
the Supreme bench, and Endorsed Tby
six of the nine members of the Judi"
ciarS Committee. It's object is to ens-
BILE the Court to bring Up back BUSH
ness, and. hereafter act on matters with
in reasonable time. 1t provides for one
additional Associate Justice and nine
| new Circnit Judges These last APP
4 nointees are to relieve the Supreme
\ Judges from holding yearly court on
4 circfIiti so'that the court hero can sit
\ more Of their time each year. The new
| Judges are to be appointed by the Pres
| ldent and confirmed by the Senate. The
bill will probably go through the House
without series opposition just before
adjournment.

Tno PrcsIden,.s snInry.

ntbe House of Representatives Mon
day, pending the consideration of the
Legislative appropriation bill, an
amendment was offered by Mr.. Peters,
OF Malno, to increase the Presidents
salary to forty thousand dollars
per annum. MIR. Peters explain
ed that the salary OF the President was
the only one of any public officer fixed
ut the formation of the government
that had mot been raised. The Vice
Presidents salary had been raised from
s.. O0Oto IS 900; that of the Secretary OF
the Treasury from IS 500 to IS, 900: that
of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
from 81 900 to Sc, 500; that of the prinCi
pal foreign. ministers from $4,000 to
SIT 800; that of congressman from S., 600
to $4,000. The amendment was opposed
by General Butler. He said the PreSi-
dent was furnished with free house,
fuel, light, servants, &c. He was fur
nished free music, and free people TO
to listen TO the music. He did not be-
Iieve General Grant wanted the salary
raised. Even II he did, the Treasury
was i'll no condition TO warrant it.
Mr.. Archer, of Maryland, q Demo-
crat, moved to amend the amendment
by making the amount $50, OG0. He
said he made the amendment in all
seriousness. 1t made no difference
whether Gen. Grant was in favor Ofthis
or not. the question was whether the
President should have a salary suftf.
cient to maintain the dignity OF the
American people. When the salary
was first established the President had
TO entertain the representatives of only
three millions of peoplei now he had to
entertain the representatives of over
thirty:tive millions of people. He did
