| THE REDUCTION OF nA1AR1Es AGAIN. :.
WARRINGTON, D. c., Dec. 10.-The dcbnto in
tho House to-day on the reduction OF bala,ics
"as Of moro SERIOUS and digniflcc naturo than
that OF yesterday. Judge Lawrence snt in tlo
obBcurity Of his own 1ttlenese, and nobody die-
turbed him. Ono or two Bhots are held in re-
aorvo for him, however, II he should again hayo
tho audaclty to parade his pompous virtue.
LYMAN TRENA1SE'a v1Ewa.
| Lyman Trcmalno opoued the dobnto, aud his
| Wide reputation ~ an orator secured for lin
tho utmost attention. His speech, uhilo it
was not learned nor purely srgumcnta-
tlTo effort, was very efrootivo, and
vol calculated for tho purposo of
s"aying large crowd liko that which composos
tho present House. Tho tenor Of his speech
was, that tho reduction should bc made solely
because tho pooplo demanded 1t.
HAwLEY on THE PRESIDENTS FAY,
Hawley, Of Connecticut, nuccceded Tremaine,
nnd demonstrated that man who can think
well with hs pen cannot nlwnya succeed so we'll
as speaker. He made vigorous attack upon
the idea Of reducing Congressional salaries
without also cutting down tho Presidents nav.
and i'll general terms Advocated Towpeoud's
amendment, Which fixes Congressional salarios
ut $4,000 year, without porquiHiteu, except &C.
tual travelling e1ponaoa.
AnEnuHE TO 1Haurs1r1yE onApBEns.
In tic course OF speech by E. H. Roberts.
OF New York, an episode occurred, which. it In
hoped, will havo tho effect to stop tho trivial
character Of tho debate, which has hitherto
aboundod In bitter personalities and tho pubica-
ton Of insignificant details Of family matters
aud home economies. While Roberts WAS speak-
ing, Negley inquired how long 1t was efter ho
(hobotta) had drawn Ills bAck-pay before he CIV.
cred it into the Treasury. Roberts ropIied tbat
If ths gentleman from Pennsylvania had tho ap
probation Of his conscience for hts own courao.
that ought to satisfy him without scck-
ing 10 inquire into tho motives of
others. Upon Nog1ey'a pressing his auerv
Roberts, in very dignhed manner, refused to
pay attention to it, not being of sufficient i'm.
portanco to be brought into tie discussion.
The rebnke was we'll taken, and will have . good
effect. Congressman havo taken it for granted
that this discussion WAS to be of q small nature.
and consequently they hayo hauled others
through thei7 back Kitchens to show vhat it.
coHtH them to live.
