The remarks OF Senator Chand-
Ter upon the proposition recently
pending in Congress to increase the
salaries of members, with his re
plies to the questions put to him,
discover the real gist Of the whole
question He announced the only
wise and proper policy for all per
sons who propose to be honest in
their mode of living. It is prin-
ciple which has been attested by the
universal experience and approved
by the soundest judgment Of man
kind. The question as to what is o
competent sum for the maintenance
of an individual is one that is Who'll
y relative and cannot be determin-
ed by consulting the desires Of in
dulgence. "A man who cannot. live
on five thousand dollars, for the
very same reason might not be able
to i've on fifty thousand
The idea which seems to be en-
tertained by some honorable gen
tlemen that from the simple acci
dent of their being chosen to seat
in Congress, they mus. live like ma
bobs, whether they have the means
to do It or not; and that if they
have mot the means themselves, they
ought to be furnished with them
out of the public treasury, seems
to be step in advance of anything
we have yet had on the subject Of
political economy in this country.
Now ii seems to as that this is an
entirely false principle of Judgment;
that it is o perversion of the very
germs of our republ can simplicity.
Members Of Congress are not cho-
sen for the purpose of vieing with
each other in extravagance of dis,
play and high living They are
chosen to do, the legislatiye busih-
lss Of the country, and the princi-
pie Oh which they ars compensated
should be not principle Of social
emulation, or of pageantry, or par
ade, but one of an entirely buGn-
ess character, which will secure to
them fair and just remuneration
for labor performed, time spent,
and services rendered. nsit 81
This can only be. determined up
on the principle Of supply and de.
mand, Just as any other class of Il
Dor or service is estimated.
It may be said, however, that
.sometilng 10 due TO the dignity o.
official position, and that on this 10
count the high officers Of the Gov

HORIZONS TRIUMPH.
How HE CLOSED THE CALDWELL CASE.
lCosrspondsnes Of the Gin. Commercial.l ]


FCovrspondsnce Of the Gin. Commercially
All eyes were turned upon MIR.
Morton, who in more senses than
one had buckled on his armor for
the death blow. All SMILES of
man in full health and vigor in re-
pose, and armed for q triumphant
struggle, fail in the case of MIR.
Morton. Usually he comes into the
Senate with h ad inclined forward
q deathly palor on his face, and
moving with a dragging. shrinking
step. To day he walked erect his
head thrown back and his eyes,
dark and luminous, darting glanc-
ces Of triumphant meaning IN the
recognition accorded his friends,
while here was given to his step the
agile caution of q tiger bearing
down on its prey. It was the full
presence Of the spirit that anima-
ted him q little when he msde the
first charge upon Mr.. Caldwell. No
wonder it sent terror to Mr.. Cald-
wells soul, as was seer. in his scar
ed face, and limp, white and clam
my fingers. Then Mr.. Morton was
savage Of interruption, and glared
upon Messra Conklin, Logan and
Chandler when they attempted to
speak, as If he would tear them to
pieces and eat them up too. The
poor little man of money did not
try to stand up under his withering
voice and gaze. It was hard to tell
which was more overpowering; the
cold, contemptuous words or the
lancellating venom of the eye. Mr..
Morton has frequently remarked
upon the withering effect of the late
Mr.. Corwin's eloquence. If that
gentleman were alive he could, with
Justice, return the compliment
Tom Corwin's s irony never surpass-
ed that of MI. Torton's when he
said q particuk. proposition might
be entertained by the Evening Star,
it could not come before the Sen
ate. Some such answer could well
have been made to the Senate re-
cognizing the resignation of q MEM
Der to seat it had declared vacant.
But this is not subject matter of a
letter. / must note, however, the
nonchalence with which Mr.. Nor
ton received the intelligence. II
had been SO generally supposed
that Mr.. Caldwell would not resign
that the step took every one but
Mr.. Morton with surprise. He had
no intimation Of the fact, but his
mind was in such an exalted state
that no shock could have moved
him. He had made the fight, and
| whether the result was q rout or a
surrender It was all the same. II
was not 30 much z feeling of exul-
tation or triumph over success as on
