MORroN-FEELING OF THE SENATOR'S ON
THE QUESTION OF EXPULSION.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THB TRIBuHR1
WARRINGTON March Ex-senator Mortor. opened
the Caldwell debate, to-day, with speech OF
marked ability and convincing logic. Anticipating
the argument of Mr. Caldwells friends, that the
Senate has no jurisdiction Of the case, he showed
that the Senator had voluntarily submitted himself
TO the Senates Jurisdiction year ago, and then re-
viewed the legal argument submitted by Mr.. Caid-
well, showing the fallacy of each of its positions
This part of the speech was carefully prepared and
read from manuscript. He then made most search
ing review of the testimony, setting 1T forth IN
stronger light even than was done in the report.
When Mr.. Morton concluded Mr.. Caldwell asked to
have read an argument, written 1T 10 said by CaieD
Cushing, in reply to the report of the Committee.
Before the question was decided the Senate went
Executive session and then adjourned.
A careful canvass of the Senate makes 1t doubtful
that the report of the Committee will be sustained
though there is doubt that if the question we're
Of Mr.. Caldwells guilt, he would be convicted.
Very few Senators doubt the power OF the Senate
under the Constitution to expe one of its members,
whenever, in its Judgment the public good demands
it; but to declare that a man was not duly and
legally elected without proving that enough mem
beers of the Legislature were bribed to change the
result from what il otherwise would have been, IS
an entirely different matter. Several Democrats,
who have no sympathy with Mr.. Caldwell and who
would probably vote to expel him, doubt the legal
right to pass Mr.. Mortons resolution. These votes,
with those of the Republican Senators who VIII
follow Messrs. Carpenter Logan, and Anthony, who
hold that the evidence against Mr.. Caldwell Is IN
sufficient to convict, will probably save him.

lBY TELEGRAPH TO rHB TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, March 10.-SOme OF the Senators
who voted for the increase of salaries think that
they have been treated unfairly in the criticisms
that have been made upon that measure, and that
their motives which, account OF their relations
with felow-Senators they were unable TO explain IN
debate have been entirely misunderstood.
They say that they supported the measure IN order
to equaze the salaries of members OF Congress
which, under the old system. were very unequal.
The mileage of Senators from several distant states
was during the XLIId Congress- as follows: Can
fornia, S4,029 60; Oregon, $6,492 80 Nevada,
S3513 60; Texas, 5000; louisiana 1888. Arkan-
sas, 81 400 Minnesota s2475 IS Kansas, 1882 ~ ;
Nebraska, s2,l47 20 Mississippi, S2,loo.
Az members of Congress never pay any fares on
railroads in travelling to and from their homes the
several sums that have been paid mileage have been
30 much added to their salaries. and under tho new
law each member will be paid 1880 and his actual
travelling expenses 80 that all will receive exactly
the same amount.
As each member is required to deduct the mileage
that he has received during the XLlld Congress
from the extra 5000 those who reside IN the dis
tant States will have little left, and Senator from
Oregon unless he puts in bill for actual travelling
expenses, instead of receiving anything Will nave

Controller of the currency will pro-
badly recommend Congress to au-

five millions of national bank notes.
The legislation of 1870 contemplat-
ed the withdrawal of that sum from
circulation. The withdrawal how
ever, has not been effected, it being
found to be wholly impracticable in
view of the requirements of the bus
mess of the country. The west suf-
fers severely from the inadequacy of
the currency. 1t is stated that ap-
plications for bank charters are ev-

west, which are refused because of
the utter lack of currency to enable
them to do business. The nervous
dread which certain wise acres have
of an undue imitation of the curren-
cy is doing the west more harm than
