TaW National House of Representatives had
ths Legislative Appropriation bill under con
Alteration yesterday, and the necessity of
retire nohment and reform in Congressional
expenditures was forcibly illustrated by seve-
raj statements and propositions made during
the discussion it ELECTED. For instance, MT
Dawes moved that the salary of the Sergeant
alarms of the Senate be fixed at $3.50
(Which is twice as much as an official of his
Grade should receive), and that in future he
shall not he allowed fees of any kind. The
House speedily adopted this motion after Mr.
Dawes explained that ''the last Sergeant-at-
Arms of the Senate was said to have boasted
that he had made twenty-five dollars day
on the item of horses alone J"
This is great country, but the theory de-
voutly cherished by some of the jacks-in-
Office that their perquisites and pecuiations
should bear fair proportion TO the greatness
of the whole nation should be antagonized at
every point, and the fellows who make
sstwenty-fve dollars day on horses alone
cannot too soon be placed on short commons.
In debate on the item relating to Capitol
police, MIR. Dawes intimated that there 'oaS
really no sufficient reason for the maintenance
of a ,,oIioe at all, but finally this subject was
disposed of by resolution that no disabled
soldiers on the present force should be dis
missed. Even this modification will insure
the retention in the public service of
q number of useless officials and the time
is rapidly coming when the public will not
willingly submit to such malappropriations of
their money. motion to strike out an ap-
preparation for the reporters of the Congress
Sio7laI Globe was defeated, mainly on the
ground that the children of Congressman
sAould not be deprived of opportunities of
studying the records of their distinguished
fathers in that edifying and expensive publi-
cation. The Globe appeals SO directly to the
vanity of the members by treasuring their
Gghtest words that they are 10th to surrender
it. On its pages men who are utterly inca
pabls Of making speeches figure as accom-
plished orators, and dull or disgraceful de-
bates after being amended and polished,
are converted into models of elegance
snd elogusnoe. The national weakness fol
bunoonbe speeches is also largely encouraged
by this record, and many good practica
thinkers are tempted to make themselve:
ridiculous by reading to empty benches efu
Bions prepared to order, and by deluding
their more verdant constituents into the be-
lief that the genial air of the Capitol has en-
dowed them with new powers. All the
speeoh-making necessary or useful in Con
gress would be done much better than it is a.
present, if the number of orators was limited
to few Of the best takers, and if the pre-
tenders who get the floor merely for the sake
of having that fact announced or for making
false regulations, we're coughed down as re
morselessly as they are in the British Par
Lament.

The SUPREME CoURT.-It appears to be
generally conceded that Mr.. Joseph P. Brad
ley, of New Jersey, whose name was recently
sent to the Senate by the President for the
vacancy on the Bench of the Supreme Court
caused by the death of Justice Wayne, of
Georgia, will encounter the same fate that
awaited Acknowledgement Hoars nomination
for the same position. It is true that the
Attorney is not in good standing
with many Senators, who allege that he is
lacking in some of the elements which go
towards rounding out the character of a
gentleman, and his rejection was undoubtedly
due in some measure to this circumstance.
But the radical objection brought to bear
against him was the fact that Massachusetts,
is not portion of the circuit over which his
predecessor presided. While it is acknow-
lodged that MIR. Bradley is in every way quail
fed for the exalted Judicial position to which
the President has nominated him, the other
objection urged against Attorney General
< Hoar is of equal weight in his case; and the
fact that Senator Trumbull reported yesterday
from the Judiciary Committee bill which
requires Justices Of the Supreme Court to be
residents of their respective circuits would
seem to indicate that the committee is unfa-
vorable TO his confirmation. ...et.

NORTON'S NEUTRALITY.

SENATOR MORTON yesterday introduced bill
in the National Senate making it a misde
meanor to fit out or equip ships of war, or to
sell or furnish arms, with the intent that they
shall be employed in the service of any
foreign prince or State to commit hostilities
against the people of the province, district,
or colony who are in a state of armed insur-
rection against such foreign prince or Stats,
and providing for the forfeiture of such ship
or vessel This bill is intended for "bun-
combe' in reality, but ostensibly it proposes
to prevent any more Spanish gunboats from
being built and fitte: out against Cuba in the
United States. Senator Morton supported
his bill in spread-eagle speech about the
relations of Spain and Cuba, the Monroe doc
trine, manifest destiny, and other kindred
topics, and then it was referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, who will sit
upon it for the balance Of the session. Sena-
tor Morton has no idea whatever that any such
absurd idea as this will ever be adopted
by Congress, and it is question whether
he might not be able to make capital in some
more legitimate manner than by putting
such a ridiculous proposition before the
country. 1t is very well to give the
Cubans all the moral as we'll as physi-
cal aid that we conscientiously can in their
present circumstances, but it is not pleasant
to have our statesmen getting up in their
seats in Congress and proposing measures
that they know have no foundation in justice
| or common sense, and that will never receive
the sanction either of Congress or the coun
| try.

The Lawrence {Kansas) Tribune has the following:
circumstance has come to our knowledge that
illustrates well the old adage, 'Marry in haste and
repent at leisure" The iaots In the case are az
fOllOws:-A young man by the name OF Trent, while
travelling In Ohio, met buxom and blooming
widow who, with her other attractions, united the
more substantial charms OF wealth. In addition to
other property she had In bank the snug little sum
OF $1,000, which she was holding In reserve for
rainy day. Trent at once fell In love with the
widOw--0r with her m0ney--and being OF o fasci-
mating address, soon had the satisfaction OF finding
his suit acceptable The pair were married, and
removed to Wamego In this State, where the
happy bridegroom was to engage In trade, using OF
course, the $1,000 Aforesaid as the capital with which
to start in business When he had secured possess
sion OF the money, and was about to start for the
East with the avOwed purpose or purchasing goods
the wifes suspicious were by some means aroused
and she insisted upon accompanying him on his
journey. For reasons of his own Trent objected to
this, and scene OF domestic strife ensled I'm the
course OF which he told his too conhding spouse he
only married her for her money, and was about to
leave her bed and board, with the money In posses
sion never more to return. or cOu Sc she made de-
eided objections to this course, when the wretch
Knocked her down, cruelty beat her, and left her
with five dollars out OF two thousand. A telegram
was sent at once to the towns along the line OF the
railroad to Intercept the scouudrel, but reached
them too late to effect its purpose and the CAV de-
ceiver is still at large, enjoying the fruits OF his
lgOtten gains.

SITE or THE MUNI0IPAL BUILD


A STRONG opposition to the erection Of the
contemplated municipal buildings of Phila-
delphia on Independence Square was deve-
loped in the lower branch of the State Legis-
lature Yesterday. Mr.. Davis opened the ball
by presenting bill prohibiting the erection
of public buildings on Independence Square,
and this bill was referred TO the Committee
on Judiciary for the purpose of obtaining
their Judgment on the vexed question whether
the city is not debarred from using that site,
by a stipulation that it shall be maintained as
an open space forever.
AT "a meeting of the Philadelphia delegation
on the same day, they resolved by a vote of
eleven to three to report favorably on the
bill introduced by MIR. Cloud, which provides
that the people of this city shall decide by
vote, next October, where the municipal
buildings shall be located.
Mr.. Hong also offered, at the same session,
bill providing that new commission shall
be appointed with authority to erect public
buildings for the accommodation of all the
courts and the municipal chambers, with all
appropriate offices, upon Penn Square.
Although these propositions are somewhat
contradictory in their character, they are in
dicative of strong feeling of hostility to the
continuance of the operations of the Inde-
pendence Square Commission, and If they
are energetically followed up its laborS will
soon cease.
1t would be manifestly unwise and uni ust
to impose upon the community the heavy
burdens involved in the erection of the pro-
Iol,, hafora tha ruhlic xpahaa IN
regard to their location are clearly ascer-
tanned, and ample opportunities should be
given for free expression of the existing
hostility to the programme which has been
hastily and inconsiderately adopted.

THE INTERVIEWING PROCESS has been run
into the ground by New York paper, which
has been unable to find more dignifed char
aoter than cock-Aghter of ''nigh on six and
thirty years" standing to interview. AS might
have been expected, some startling facts were
developed. One was to the effect that Henry
Bergh, the philanthropic President Of the
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to AMI
malo, is ''superannuated old thief" which
wild distress Mr.. Bergh's friends not little.
But the most important item elected was that
''roosters amt animals, and the interviewer
was challenged TO cite where he could find
anything In the Seripter, or any other book,
that says they are." The bearing of this upon
tho vegetarian system of diet should not be
lost sight of.

Mr.. Hone has introduced into the State
Legislature bill, which has been reported
upon fayorably, giving to City Sewage
and Utilization Company the exclusive right
of removing ashes, offal, and refuse matter
from the streets, cellars, and cesspools of
Philadelphia, for period of ten years. 1t is
doubtful whether the direct or indirect bone
fits likely to arise from this measure would be
sufficient to compensate for the evils con-
nected with the creation of the monopoly it
contemplates. Legislators should remsmber
that the unnecessary grant Of exclusive privi-
leges went out of fashion in the time of Queen
Elizabeth, and it is rather late in the day to
revive them.

A "NATIONAL" ENTERPRLSE.


NASHVILLE, or the merchants of Nashville, to
speak more precisely, propose to erect
"national" monument to the memory of that
Christian soldier and unfinching patriot,
Stonewall jackson. Monuments are good
things to have in the country on general
principles, as we have often demonstrated;
and when they are intended to commemorate
the virtues and services of such pre-e e-emiuently
t'national' personages as Stonewall Jackson,
1t is fitting that they should be decidedly ''na-
tional" in their character which means simply
that the subscriptions should be from all
parts of the country. The patriotic mer-
chants of the Tennessee capital have taken
the matter in hand in sober earnest, and have
begun in the right way by appointing COM
mittee to raise the money that will be re-
quired to complete this desirable national
scheme. We heartily commend the enter
prise to the Democracy of this city, and if it
will not be considered impertinent on our
part would suggest that the concern which
has it's headquarters at Ninth and Arch streets
appoint an auxiliary committee to receive
the contributions of our citizens. Stonewall
Jacksons Democracy was of such a decided
and undisguised stripe that the Fourth ward
crowd will unquestionably testify their admi-
ration for it by liberal subscription. 81
