The following is recent important let
ter of Treasurer Spinner to Il member of
Congress on the back pay question
TREASURY OF THE UNITED STATE@,,
September >. 1873.
Nv Dear Sir Your letter of the ogth
ult, with inclosurc, as therein stated j.
received. don't know that | can answer
your inquiry better than by an extract
from private letter | wrote to another
member of Congrass. this evening, who
made Il like inquiry. Among other things
| said to him. The first controller OF the
treasury has decided that money heretofore
appropriated and that shall remain uncN-
pended at the close of the present fiscal
year, ending June 30, 1874, for the pay of
the salaries of members of congress, can
not then he covered into the treasury. The
secretary of the treasury has gone step
further than this He holds that the ap-
preparation is an independent one, and,
like that for the payment of interest on the
public debt, always remains for the pur-
pose for which it was appropriated. and
that therefore there is no authority for coy
ering it into the treasury. Hon. John Sher-
man. who drew the bill that was enacted
into law by the virtue OF which the I'M
expended balances of certain kinds of APP
preparations are directed to be covered into
treasury at the end of the fiscal year, and
who ought to know what was intended by
the law, took the view of this case that
you have. However, Notwithstanding his
opinion that the unpaid salaries should he
so covered in, he did conclude, in conse-
quence of the rulings of the treasury de-
partment, to direct the secretary Of the
senate to draw his extra pay and To hand
it over to me in my official capacity, to he
covered in. This has been done in his
case. as it has been done in many other
cases. | am not n lawyer, but if | shoulc

Western members were unit, and must
support the measures which would benefit
agricultural interests. The question was
not how much money should be spent but
how far Congress should go.
Objection was raised to McLean's reSolu-
tion, but the Chair decided it in order.
Rep. Purinan, of Florida, after saying the
South had interests in common with the
West, remarked that if he came from the
Mississippi valley he would, in company
with others, demand the improvement OF
that river, and organize a caucus, and make
that caucus power behind the throne, and
would carry the measure, irrespective Of
money or sections.
Representative McLean's resolution was
agreed TO.
Representative McNulta offered a resolu-
tion that when the meeting adjourned il
adjourn to meet three weeks from tonight,
when it will take into consideration the
propriety of forming permanent organi-
zation in Fody-Fourth Congress in favol
of cheap transportation; and will take
means for its accomplishment.
Pending the resolution, motion was
made and carried to adjourn. 1t is under
stood future meetings will be held at the
call of the chair.

One of the very strongest of them all is
thus mentioned by the Albany Laog

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE RepUb-
licans of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, finding the quiet little man at
the White House too much for them,
and disposed to oppose obstinacy to
their objections, agreed to-day to re-
port favorably on the nomination Of
Williams to be Chief Justice. They
accordingly did 50 at the executive ses-
sion, and heated debate, lasting two
hours, ensued without any result, and
adjournment was had without a con-
frmation. AS the Senate adjourned
over to Monday, the affair excites much
comment. Such delay in such a case
is unprecedented.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Mr. Viii
Iiams' nomination for Chief Justice
continues to hang fire. Yesterday it
was the intention of the administration
managers to hold continuous session
of the Senate, and not to adjourn till
Judge Williams should be confirmed
but something of mysterious charac-
ter occurred to change this programme,
and the purpose was abandoned. 1t is
surmised that some painful develop
ment has been made, which would max e
the confirmation of the nominee dan
gerous and impolitic step; but what
was the cause of this very sudden
change of programme is not yet ascer-
tanned. 1t is certainly the hardest dose
the Senate Radicals have yet had to
swallow; and whether they can get it
down or not is still uncertain. 1t was
reported yesterday that the Judiciary
Committee would report III Williams

NASHVILLE, Dec. 13, 1S73.-The COM
muncation on the subject Of insurance by
a writer who mOdestly signs himself "No
BOard,' which appeared in your columns
on Thursday last, is SO grossly inaccurate
in its statements that it would not be held
worthy any notice if it were not that those
who are not familiar with the true state of
the case may be misled by it.
The author informs us that ''it is notOri-
ouS that raseS of insurance in the slave
States always were higher than in the free
States.7 Now, as we have not had any
slave States for some years, it will at once
be apparent that his knowledge of the bus
mess of insurance and of the comparative
rates charged in the various States, dates
back into the remote past. He is,
therefore, no new tledged underwater

but a heavy veteran, one Of those

Nelson, eX-Judge Of the United States Su-

while sitting in his chair at half-paSt one
o'clock this afternoon, at his residence in
this place. Judge Nelson had been for
some months past in good health and
spirits. Monday he complained of having
taken a slight cold, and was confined to his
room till Friday evening. He then came
down stairs to tea and spent the evening in
his parlor. He came down to breakfast
this morning at rather late hour, as was
his custom, apparently as well as usual.
While sitting in chair, between 1 and 2
o'clock this evening, listening to the read
ing of a letter by Mrs. Nelson, he made an
inquiry in regard to it, and then without a
word or sigh suddenly died.
