The Senate Session.
The Senate relieved OF the sparring
of the House of Representatives, is in a
paradise OF bald argument and empty
words. The gassy Senators seem dis
posed to take vengeance on time for the
restraint put upon them by the limita-
tions Of the late session. l! is now
thought that tue ornamental Sen
ale will continue to venIiIate their
views on a variety OF subjects tor at least
a week. The working members OF the
body are growing impatient, and many
are trying to PAIR off III order t. get to
their homes. The current OF opruiOn
in the Senate is evidently increasing
against Caldwell.

AnoTAer Back SALARY" Steal.
Initiating the thieveish p-opens'tles
OF their bretn rem in Washington, tue
members OF the Pennsylvania Leglsla-
ture have introduced bill increasing
their own salaries, which contains pre-
ci.ely the same provisions as the lnta-
NOUS one which Congress has passed
and the President has signed The
lower House ha+ already passed 1t. The
Phlladelphra Press denounces it, and
hopps the Senate will have the courage
aud honesty to strike out the portion
allowing back pay. Courage aud hon
esty are sadly out of fashion now. 1t Is
oniv the outside mob" as Senator
Carpenter calls tie independent press,
which is so lar behind the times a. to
insist upon keeplngup some observance
for them.
The MOdocs.
Secretary Delano to day received a
telegram from General Canhy giving

ing persouslly interrogsted on this
point to-day, he responded that he
would not il he could depart from the
well established policy OF Mr. Boutwell,
and that he would not devlate rom 1t II
