WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dee. 20, '73.
Editor Chronicle:
The House has been unusually excl
ted this week over the question OF the
repeal OF the Salary Bill Of last session.
KaSson moved an amendment to the
committee bill, which fixed pay of
Congressman at $500; that it be ret
respective and go back in application
to March 4th. last, and it was agreed
to. But next day Hurlburt's substi-
tute was adopted, which fixes salary at
Sc, 900, from date Of becoming law.
The South is nearly a unit against re-
peal, and as Ben Butler is not its only
advocate from the North, repeal seems
impossible, and $500 will likely con-
tinue the rate pay.
Representative Danford'S course must
prove gratifying to his constituents.
At all times he veted squarely for re-
peal of the law. He lodged no issue
opposed every motion for delay or to
defeat repeal-and in being present at
every vote, showed that he was in earn-
est. If his course in the future is fore
shadowed by his actions so far in Con-
greSs, we shall have no cause of COM
piaint against him, for he is not afraid
TO work for the best interests of his
constituents and the nation. l..

Mr.. EDITon-DEAR SIR - Complaining IL tho
general order OF our people owning property in
our city, not particularly upon the assessed value
OF made oy the assessors, bat the manner in which
the assessments are handled by the Board Of Re-
vision. They invariably increase them to such
degree OF value that makes Il appear almost, In
amount, to deprcdatiOns. Perhaps VIC NAV not be
tar astray when We apply that meaning ] will
try TO illustrate it. and will give facts a. they ap-
pear upon record and as published in the proceed
ings OF the City Council. The assessed amount Of
properties and people by the Revision Committee
for the year 1873, amounts 10 the sum COT nearly
twenty-six million dollars, aud as reported, two
million dollars more than the year 1874 II cer-
talniy must be apparent TO all aud fact TO many,
that the legitimate value of the increase Of proper
" ana persons could not; and positively assert
