q lively character. After the passage of {
bill for the redemption of the twcnty-mil-
lion loan Of 1858 the increased salary bill
came up, and was discussed until the hour o
adjournment. The two chief advocates o
its repeal who appeared on the stage
lto-day were Messrs. Cox, Of New York
fand Lawrence, of Ohio. The former
was pretty thoroughly 1iddled by Mr.
Negley, of Pennsylvania, while MIR. Law

1866 he had pocketed "a 900 of back pa,
under circumstances quite as discreditabl'
AS those which characterized the last salary

The only southern man who participated
in the discussion was Mr.. Lynch, OF Missis

members were opposed to any reduction
and at least wanted that no reduction SHOULD
apply to the present Congress.
On the whole, the salary-grabbers were in
the ascendant. A vote will be asked to.mur
