The QucstiOn Of Increasing Salaries
of Judges.

VI SuuANSs
WASHINGTON, January lS.-The
House, in committee of the whole, yes
terday, finally went through the Legis-
lative and Executive appropriation bill,
and reported it to the House
There was long debate on motion
to increase the salaries Of Circuit and
District Judges, each one thousand
dollars, and it was finally lost 1t is
now feared that when the amendment
made in committee of the whole, in
creasing the salaries OF the Supreme
Court Judges, comes up to-day, 1t may
be beaten. A separate vote has been
called for on it,and the result has some
what weakened the feeling in favor OF
increasing the salaries OF any Judges.
With few exceptions the Democrats
propose to vote against it.
The Income Tax.
Judge Kelly yesterday received
copies of an opinion adverse to the
constitutionality Of the income tax
given by Hon. w. NJ. Evarts and
Spencer Miller. Judge Kelly will lay
this opinion before the committee on
WAYS and Means, and will ask fol
designation of an early day, when the
parties in favor of the repeal Of the tax
may be heard in that interest. The
committee must report ere long In
response to the resolution Of the House
directing inquiry into the expediency o.
the repeal.
Land Grabbers Delaying Business
Of Congress.
The House has not gone to business
upon the Speakers table during the
present session. Never before have sia
weeks of the short session passed with
out the House going to the table fol
reference to and action upon bills
passed by the Senate. There are now
torty-seven Senate bills upon the table
many of which are important, and
would be passed if they could be sepa
ted from twenty-three land grant bills
with which they are overlaid and in
terspersed. The majority of the House
refuses to touch the pile on the table fol
fear the land jobbers will succeed II
getting through their schemes by making
a combination Of all members who's
districts is interested in any of the pro
posed grants with the solid carpet,bas
vote, a large proportion OF whose Con
gressional career ends the fourth o
March. Meanwhile the friends Of th'
land grants will not consent to have an.
bill taken from the table for action ou
of its order, and hope to force their OF
ponents to begin at the top of the Pill
upon the Speakers table, and work OF
all the bills in the general rush Of tn

CoTroN MANUFACTURES IN THE SOUTH.
j. r. Dodge, ESQ.,, Of the Bureau of
Statistics, makes the following statement
to Hon. Horace Capron, the Commits
sioner OF Agriculture:
"The cotton interest has already at
tanned its maximum of value and profit
for the present, and the cotton supply of
the world has nearly reached the limit OF
normal consumption at lower price q
somewhat larger consumption might re-.
suit; largely increased supply would oc-
casion disaster and huctuation in produc.
tion. dsadvantageous alike to planter and
manufacturer. There is one mode, and
but one, by which the value and profit OF
the cotton crop can be largely increased, /,
and by which cotton growers can remain
"masters of the situation" and that is by
manufacturing in this country, not twen-
ty per cent. Of the. crop, as in 1860; not
thirty five per cent, as in 1863; but ct
least seventy-fve per cent; and half OF
this should be manufactured, nearthe cot
ton fields into coarse goods at first, largely
into yarns, and ultimately into every va
riety of cotton fabrics. 1t can be done
with profit at once. Idle water powers,
abundant and cheap. wood and coal for
steam machinery, dependent women anx-
ous to earn q livelihood, and children
growing up under tho pernicious infu-
ence of idleness, call for such utilization
of wasting resources. While these means
of opulence are ignored, and the children
of indigence arc permitted to pine in pow
erty, it would be unmanly to envy the
possession of wealth elsewerc obtained by
the persistent and Industrious utilization
of similar resources and whllo such op-
portunities are thrown away, the highest
prosperity must not only be unattained,
but nndeserved."

.Ex.Goy. PERRY ON THE SIrUATIoN:---A
correspondent,of the New York Tribune,
who has been visiting Greenville, writes
as follows :. 80
Greenyille is the home of ex-Gov. Per
ry, who was made Provisional Governor
by Andrew Johnson. / had short talk
with him upon South Carolina politics.
He appeared to feel keenly the continu-
ance, Of bis political disabilities, and in-
troduced tie subject at the outset of our
conversation, saying, that he had been an
original Union man and had fought se-
cession until the war actually commenced,
but that notwithstanding this he was not
now upon political equality with cotton
field and corn-feld niggers, and could not
hold the smallest Office. This personal
grievance seemed to color his opinions of
all public questions. He took a gloomy
view of the situation in the State, fearing
that there was no peaceable remedy for
The evils of corrupt legislation and ad-
ministration and oppressive taxation, and
that violent outbreaks would be the re-
suit. He favored the plan Of minority
representation, but said that it could not
be brought into operation for nearly two
years, and that would be too far off to
meet the present emergency. Speaking
of the exorbitant taxes, he said: eve
are as law.abiding a;people as can be found
on the face of the earth. The taxes, un-
reasonable as they are, would be cheer
fully paid, if the people had confidence
that they would be used for honest pur-
poses; but they believe that the money
extorted from them will go to swell the
gains of, the INSCRIPTIONS Northern ad-
yenturers who are enriching themselves
by plundering the State" The Governor
was severe upon the native white men
who had Joined the Republican party. |
vy,ee,ntured to deprecate the intolerent spirit
which denounces as scallawags and thieves
Southern men ofpropertyI and known char
acter for honesty, merely because they
have identified themselves with the Re-
publicans-in many cases, perhaps, with
the patriotic desire Of doing their State a
service, by influencing the ignorant ne
groes to elect good men to Office. But the
Governor was not willing to admit that
any honest white man in South Carolina
could be o radical, and said, rather tartly,
"Wben a man joins band OF rouges, he
must expect to belooked upon as rogue"
Gov. Perry is good example of tho folly
of keeping up political disabilities in the
South. II there had been an act of gen.
eral amnesty three or four years ago in
all probability, he would to-day be an &C.
tive Republican, representing his district in
Congress, or filling some other office whore
his talents and integrity would be of SER
vice to the people of his State. AS it is:
the stupid policy of prescription pursued
by Congress has forced him into the Dom
ocratic party.

MURDER AT CLoyERDALE.-The peo-
pie in the vicinity of Petaluma, CAL,
seem to have no end of trouble with
stage robbers, and their arrest and
conviction. The latest outrage was
the killing at Cloverdale last Tuesday
of Joe. Rawles by n Gibbons.
Rawles was the principal witness
for the prosecution of some of the
highwaymeu. The ostensible cause of
the murder is said to have been trouble
about a woman, but the real cause is
believed by the PetalumaC Crescent to be
to destroy his testinony. The Crescent
says Rawles was the man who killed
Sim. Oldham in 1868 in a shooting
atfray at Owyhee, Idaho.

SARGENT AND THE FEDERAL OF

before him of Congressional life
two Years in the House AMI six IN

through the whole of Il Preslden-
tial term, and portions oftwo others
Mr.. Sargent is persistent and en-
crgetic. To this he owes much OF
his success. Old residents OF Cali
forpia will remember the days when
Sargent and a little band of followers
from the mountains made their bI-
ennial pilcrimages from Nevada City
to Sacramento to hold Republican
conventions. They made their nom
nations, passed their resolutions,
and went into the campaign with as
much enthusiasm as if they expected
to win the fight, though knowing
full well that there was no more
chance for success in California than
in South Carolina. The political
waves were then rolling IN i differ
ent direction. The faint notes OF
Sargent y Co. proclalmlng Fremont
il the wilderness, sounded like the
far-Off scream of the sea gull III 1
storm. Truly time works changes.
The election of Sargent IS the
doom Of legions of Federal office
holders. Cole has contrived to i'll
the offices with his personal friends
and these friends have been Nc
