lsrEcrAL DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER SPY. !
WASHINGTON, d. c., May G.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May G.
THE DEFICIENCY BILL.
The house had up the deficiency appropriation
bill this afternoon, and the senate amendment
providing for the back pay due the Springfield
armorers and other workmcn in government
shops came up and was lengthily discussed
Mr.. FarnswOrth made his Old fight over against
it; but Dawes Butler and others convinced the
house that the senate provision ought to stand,
that the claim was Just one, and it was agreed
to by large majority This probably ends the
matter. 1t certainly does unless a rcconsidera-
ton is agreed TO tomorrow, or the whole bill
should fail.
THE TARIFF BILL
Comes up tomorrow. A motion will be made
to strike out the enacting clause, and there are
hopes that il will carry. MIR. Dawes gave no.
tcc to-day that he will make it. II it should
succeed It short bill will be soon offered in its
stead, and an internal revenue bill will be
adopted, which makes sweeping reduction in
the internal taxes.
CONTESTED SEATS.
The house committee of election settled two
important cases this morning. That of Gid
dings VS.. Clarke of Texas, and McKissick VS..
Wallace OF South Carolina. The first was set
tied in favor of Giddings, the democratic con-
testant, and the second in favor of Wallace, the
republican sitting member In both cases the
committee were unanimous. So far, there
have been but two cases in which the
committee were divided in opinion, which
shows it to be remarkably honest and indie
pendent committee.
TRICK.
There was some fun in the house when Mr.
Eldridge of Wisconsin introduced bill to in.
crease taxation and protect monopolics, aud it
turned out that it was Kellcy's tariff bill
His purpose was to consume the morning hour
and keep off the civil rights bill and to have 6
sly hit at Mr.. Kelley He demanded the reading
of the bill until the hour was ended.
THE DEMOCRATS DISSATISFIED.
Fernando Wood endcavored to make poin
against the administration because of the con
sutation on Saturday over the correspondent,
in regard TO the English treaty. The democrats
allege that Mr.. Fish made complete backdown
but that prominent republicans in congress will
not assent to it, and that the attempts at Il com
| promise have resulted in a total failure On TN
| other hand, it is stated very confidently tina
negotiations arc still progressing, and tits hoppe
that satisfactory arrangement of difference
will be reached, by which the treaty can be savec
without dishonor TO either side

THE STAMP FRAUD.


SIR: Your Trenton correspondent IN his letter
OF Jan after charging the members OF the NewJersey
Legislature with fraud for voting themselves s25 worth
of hostage stamps says at hardly necessary to say
that no could Gas worth of stamps during
sesson nor during ten sessions, unless he sofa thsh
This statement is as unjust as IL Is false. How any man
of honor could been in the House of Assembly and
heard the speeches OF Col JOY OF Essex and Col.
Patterson OF Monmouth, and then make that asser-
ton I cannot understand. IL he were IN the
House, as q correspondent OF a paper should De-
then he knowingly some Of the best men in that
body OF lying Col distinctly stated that he
had used all the stamps gwen him last session $50 WORTH
in sending documents and letters public business to
his constituents in his county and other parts Of
the State and had spent several dollars OF bis private
money for the same purpose Senator John w Taylor
OF Essex made q similar statement last winter,
and could mention a number OF other gentle
men Of like character who have said the same
thing Does your correspondent accuse or false
hood Col. Austin PattersOn-G man who has been
elected seven times the Office he now hOlds Would he
have us believe that the Hon John W. Taylor told an
uptruth-ss pure man as lives in the State some men
may sell all their stamps and not write single letter.
but that fact would rot your correspondent Tor
making such sweeping assertion. The members can
not vote themselves pay as Is unconstitutional;
they cannot make their constituents pay the post-
age on the documents as could be done when
I ask yOu, Mr.. Editor, II 1t Is not too
much ask O member that he spend three months In
the Legislature for $50 when 1t will cost him at the
lowest 5000 $c0 for his necessary expenses
and then make him pay $40 $50 for postage on the
documents that printed not for his use ana pront
merely for the enigening Of his constituents on
the condition prospects OF the state The resolution
passed the Senate unanimously, and the large vote

other grounds than that OF fear the part OF members VI
misapproprating public funds. REPUBLICAN,
Peterson, n. j., Jan. 10, 1872.
Our Trenton Correspondent made no implication
on the characters or record of the gentlemen emu
merated in this letter He simply pointed out the
fact as it exists and leave the public to make its
own comments on the men who permit such petty
pilfering to go on unchecked. If members are 90
cited for documents let them compel their solicitors
10 paw the expense incurred, and 1t is not to the
point at all that the salary of the members does not
admit of the display that many of our Legislators
have been led to expect since Erie entered into the
business of running Legislators. The stamp btsi-
ness is pretty mean method of pilfering' and we
hope soon TO see il wiped out.-ED
