The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1873-12-10

Gates OF the repeal who appeared on tho
stage to day, were Cox, Of New, York,
and Lawrence, of Ohio. The former
was pretty thoroughly riddled by Neg.
ley. OF Ponnsylvania; while Lawrence
was made the butt and laug stock OF
the whole House, becanse he had to oon-
fess that, as member of Congress in
1866. he had pocketed $4,000 of bnck
pay, under circumstances quite as dis.
ereditable rs those which characterized
the last salary grab. The only Southern
man who participated in the discussion
was Lynch. of Mississippi, who boldly
avowed tha: .he Southern members were
opposed to my reduction, and ut least
wanted that no reduction should apply
to the present Congress. On tue whole,
the salary grabbcrs were in the ascend
ant. Il vote will be asked, but hardly
reached to- morrow.
