Congress-The Franiking Pryilcsc-Apprepri-
alton Bills I'm the House.


alton Bills In the House.
The Senate worked away at the franking
privilege yesterday with business-like avid
ity that gives us some hope Of its complete
abolition. The Post Office Appropriation bill
contains the germ of the House bill to abolish
the Thanking privilege in the form of an amend
ment and it is in this particular light that the
Senate is now discussing it. Several expert
mental votes were taken which indicate very
favorable disposition towards it's abolition.
Mr.. Summers amendment, reducing post
age to one cent, Mr.. Nye's reducing 1t
to two, and Mr.. Brakes to allow five hun
dred dollars extra to each member in lieu OF
the privilege. were each rejected, and an
amendment Of Mr.. Spencer's fixing the time
when the abolition is to take place in Septem-
Der next was adopted by vote of 35 to 49,
The main amendment, however, was not dis
posed of. The Southern Pacific Railroad bill
was very generally discussed in the evening
session.
In the House Mr.. Butler succeeded, during
the call Of States for bills, in having his reso-
luton to annex Dominica as State introduced
and referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs 1t provides for the payment of
one million three hundred and ffty-two
thousand dollars in gold towards the
liquidation of the debt of Dominica by
the United States and the surrender of all
her public buildings and Notifications to the
Federal government on her admission. The
resolution is intended as dernier resort, in
case the Senate refuses to ratify the St. Do
mingo treaty, and it will probably not be
effectually discussed until the Senate has 80
! decided. The Fertilization Appropriation bill
was discussed in committee of the whole.
debate by his remark that stone
forts are no obstacle to heavy iron
clad ships of war, and tina. even wooden ships
can frequently run by them without much
| trouble. 1t is true that, with the new inven-
tions called forth by our war, the improve
ments in projectiles and in ship armor, the
best harbor defences lie in ships of war them
| selves. 1t is to be regretted that Congress
| does not keep its measures up to the advanced
spirit of the age The twelve hundred thou
sand dollars appropriated by the bill which was
passed would have better served the public
interests if devoted to securing more efficient
navy. The Army Appropriation bill was also
passed, Mr.. Dawes urging the House to great
| industry in disposing Of the appropriation bills
in order that the Senate might consider them
thoroughly before adjournment.

PAY Our JuDGFs WELL.-We heartily

PAY Our JuDGEs WELI.--We heartily
agree with the Real Estate Bulletin in
stating that in the present lmpov-
erished condition of our country,
its Judiciary cannot subsist upon
the honors and dignities Of office,
however exalted they may De. While
the dignity of official position has
always involved and seemed to de-
mand certain degree of style Of life.
there are now, besides the increased
weight of duties and responsibilities in
cident to the peculiar times-little lips
to be shielded f ON hunger little feet to
be guarded from the rocks and thorns
along the wayside-there is the nm
ceasing flow Of home necessities to be
provided for; and whatever amount OF
grave learning, legal acumen or general
talent may be possessed by him elected
TO the discharge of judicial duty, the full
force of his ability cannot be brought to
bear effectively, if upon his head and
heart rest that weary weight, thatdistract-
ing care pecuniary embarrassment
As many have said before us, we reit-
crate that the last hope of the State is
in an able and in pure judiciary 1t
alone can rescue Tennessee from general
disaster. If our Ship Of State is to
override the covering waves of disor-
ganization, and steering clear OF the
breakers of oppression, dissension and
anarchy which threaten to engulf it,
regain once the port of tranquility and
prosperity-the haven of simple right
and justice-it must have is judicial
offices filed by men of vigorous ability,
and Of that character whose sterling
ring can be heard clear aud loud above
the din and clamor of partisan feuds
and political strife; and in order to OBJ
tain and retain the services Of this class
of men, they must be accorded liberal
support. We do hope our Legislature
will see this in the light of an impera-
tive necessity of the public good and a
duty TO themselves, and that during the
present session, and before the approach
ing judicial elections, they will increase
the meagre salaries of Judges aud
Chancellors provided by law heretofore,
to amounts commensurate with the ne
cessity Of the times and the zeal dig
nifty of position, as after the election
any discretionary power exercised upon
this question by counties, although With
legislative consent is really illegal and
Unconstitutional.

MEMPHIS THEATER- Still the fun goes
bravely on, and the Ministries are delight
ing thousands. LaRue's carnival ex-
ceeds all other carnivals in the fact that
while it affords the drollest kind OF
amusement and creates the heartiest
kind of laughter it also introduces some
of the sweetest gems of music and many
pretty sentiments We recommend every
one who wishes to spend areally delight
