Several prominent Senators express
surprise at the action of the House in
devoting so much time to debating on
the salary question when the country
looks for legislation to relieve her
present financial embarrassment and
restore her confidence in monetary af-
fairs. The Senate is ready to enter on
legislation at once, and If possible to
afford the necessary relief before the
holidays. 1t is certain there is less
disposition in the Senate than in the
House to agitate the salary question.
There is general indisposition
among congressman to increase taxa
ton, and it will not be done without
necessity being shown. No hasty &C.
tion is anticipated. The Treasury De-
partment is somewhat pressed for
money, not only by the falling off Of
revenues, but by extraordinary appro-
priations of four or five millions for
naval purposes, and the approach of
redemption of the twenty million loan
Of 1858. f...f.l .,..-<.s.
