THE CAUCUS SALARY REPEAL BILL
That part Of the Republican cauoui
bill to repeal the increase. .of.salary Law
that provides that the pay received
this year ahall be deducted from thil
years salary at the reduced rate, was, Il
Is charged, purposely inserted TO secure
the defeat or the bill. That the bill will
not pass with that provision In It is quite
certain. Many, Congressman have drawn
their salaries monthly at the advanced
rate, and have little else 10 live on beside
their pay. II the bill passes in its present
shape Congressman will get no pay what.
ever till next May, when they will receive
only two hundred dollarS. Opposition to
the bill Is rapidly developing, and itisinti.
mated that q large number viii decline
to be governed by the action Of the eau.
Gus, notwithstanding they participated In
its deliberations, and will hold themselves
at liberty 10 vote as they please on the
measure. The Southern Representatives,
regardless Of party, have held an informal
cancus and agreed that they will, as q
body, resist the appeal. 'e
A prominent Republican has prepared
0 bill making the salary six thousand dol.

substitute for the caucus bill. II Is also
proposed as compromise that the re.

WEST VIRGINIA DELEGATION. i ~,
Mr.. Cessna, Of Pennsylvania, then In.
troduced d resolution admitting Davis
and Hagans, Of West Virginia, to seats.
The law Of that State, passed in 1868,
provides that Congressman shall be elect.
cd In October, but the recent Constitution.
al Convention prescribed IN that instru-
ment that they should be elected on the
fourth Thursday Of August, 1872,
Ut did not-EDs. 1HTEL. } and there
after on the fourth Thursday Of Au.
gust OF every even year; that State and
county officers should also be elected on
that day, and finally, that the question Of
ratifying the Constitution itself should be
held on that day, and that II the majority
OF the people voted TO ratify It, 1t should
be considered as adopted from the
earliest moment Of the day on
which the election was held. Da'
Wis and Hagans were elected on that
day, as well as the various State and
county officers now serving, and the Con.
stitution was duly ratified and Is now in
force. OF course, opinions difieras to the
rights Of a Constitutional Convention to
order a general election, many holding
that only the Legislature, under the Con.
stitution OF the United States, were EN-.
to do so. Another election was
held, therefore, In October, under the law,
and in the two districts which these two
gentlemen claim to represent, two other
gentlemen were then elected. The Dem.
ocrats were unit In opposing the resolu.
ton, and as Mr.. Cessna failed to secure
even respectable number OF the Repub.
licans in lis favor, 1t was voted down and
a resolution referring the contests to the
Committee on Elections was adopted,
leaving the seats vacant.

The New York Papers on the Mess
aRe. .t -.

Those ten inch Columbisds, the New
York papers, are before us bristling with
head lines and comments on the Message.
The Herald considers the terms granted
to Spain degrading to the United statea."
| It also considers the Presidents discussion
Of our finances "a curious mixture Of
sound principles and unsound deductions.'
The Tribune credits the President With
much attention" TO and "some study" Of
finances, but says that "his notions are not
such as will commend themselves 10 the
judgement Of Congress or the good sense
Of the people" The World says that the
message is a "clumsily written document"
and that "while It declares strongly for
specie payments" its practical recon-
mendations tend to further initiation.
The Times has perhaps the lairest criticism
of the lot on the subject 1t says that "as
a writer OF history" the President might
easily be improved on,"but that his mess
age Is written "with as little circumlocu-
ton as possible, and without an attempt to
make either his facts or suggestions sp-
pear any other than the solid results Of q
practical way of conducting the affairs Of
a great people" ' -
What we especially like in the Times
review is the following apprecialve re-
marks upon tho settlement OF the Spanish
question:
"The threatened quarrel with Spain Ia
written about with the same absence ol
any attempt at posing for effect as dlstin'
puished the conduct Of the negotiations.
The message makes not even 0 covert a.
lnSlon TO the trials Of tact and OF temper
which these negotiations involved; 10 the
necessity Of avoiding the least appearance
Of ftrucuIence in dealing with weak and
embarrassed State, or 70 the no less urgent
necessity Of being decided and peremp,,
tory in urging the demands Of outraged
national dignity. A very slight ex.
aggeration Of tone on the part
oI our Government would have
roaded Spain into resistance; very
siIpht Misunderstanding Of the true dritt
Of public opinion on the subject, or OF the
international bearings Of the question,
