MIR CoNFfRMED. THE Senate fails

Nor CONFERENCE.-The Senate fails
ed to confirm the nomination of Geo.
H. Williams for the gh and honora-
BILE position of Chief Justice of the
United States.
That such nominations was not con-
fr1ned is not strange. Mr.. Williams
is man but little known, who has
failed to build for himself reputation
as man Of ability or of legal lore,
and while the nation has scores whose
names are known far and wide because
Of their ability and attachments, it
seems the hight of folly to attempt to
foist such man as Mr. Williams in to
a position that has ever been honored
by the finest intellects in the country.
Let Mr.. Williams wait. He is Young
and can be appreciated by and by bet
ter than now, perhaps
Congress is trying to adjourn over
the holidays. The House is hungering
and thirsting for Turkey and Cham
payne, bus it seems that the Senate
don't want to GO home. If the Senate
holds out to the end, it will have dis
played wonderful virtue, but we pre-
dict that before New Year the whole
covey of law makers will have sue
cumbed to the ''inexorable demands of
appetite and will have shot out on the
rail. The country and its manifold in
terests need doctoring and to leave the
patient in its extremity, will be just
about as reasonable thing to do, as
for an NJ. D. to leave sick man to
the tender mercies of disease at crit
ical period, and 60 hunting We want
our national doctors to tend strictly to
the patient. Let them prescribe and
we will take the medicine.
The Common Council, on Tuesday
last, moved their furniture and ar
chives into the new room in the en-
CINE house, up stairs, where the fire
company will also hold their business
meetings, and where sheriff Lavigne
will hold forth until the 3lst Deem
Der, 1S74,-if he behaves himself

The Salary Bill.

The Honse of Representatives, on
Wednesday, after long and noisy de-
bate, passed a bill making the compen-
sation Of Senators and Representatives
30 900 per annum, and actual travel
Ing expenses once each way for each
separate session. The Vice President
and the Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives are given $4,000 more,
making the salary of each $4,000.
The Salaries Of the President, Judges,
Cabinet officers, and employees of Con-
gress remain as under the law of the
I'd OF March last. All sums remaining
undrawn, or which may be returned
under the law just named, are required
to be placed in the Treasury.
While this is better than to let the
law Of last March stand, we do not be-
lleve that it will satisfy the demands
of tie people. The impression is pre-
valent that the old salary of $4,000 it
enough, and that it should be prompt
ly restored. Dodging of this kind will
not 60. This addition of $1,000 SO
the old salary will make an annual az
gregatc of 1886, 900, or enough to pay
the salaries of the President, cabinet
ministers, judges of the Supreme
Court, and principle employees of Con-
gress as they now stand,
In the discussion of the bill General
Butler made his usual brutal attack
upon newspaper men this may tickle
a few Of his associates who fancy that
they can defy the criticisms of the
Press, and that the Indignation at the
increase Of the salaries is all manuac-
tured by it; but General Butler and
those who with him denounce the
Press will yet find that 1t has but
spoken the sentiment of the majority
Of the people.
Another thing is worthy Of notice in
this connection, and that is, the mem
bers refused to permit the call of the
yeas and nays on the passage of the
repeal bill above named. Such dods-
ing as this will not relieve congress
men of responsibility. --Ecening Wis

HOLIDAY Gifts.-We dropped int

Holiday Gifts.-We dropped into
William Kline's jewellery store Mon
day and saw a museum Of curiosities
in the shape Of plated ware for holi-
day gifts. They embrace SO many diff
terent articles we can scarcely enumer-
ate them. He has casters woadertully
beautiful, cake baskets, card receivers,
butter dishes, pickle dishes, napkin
rings, ice pitchers, call bells, knife
rests, tea sets, and a score Of othe'
articles, all of exquisite finish, and
most beautiful design. Don't fail to
drop in and examine them, for verify
they will and must make somebody's
heart glad. We noticed one tea set of
six pieces that made us feel of our
pocket book, but it was less plethoric
than it once was, and so we left it for
some one more fortunate.
For holiday gifts, seldom one finds
more appropriate gift than some
thing in the way Of plated or silver
ware for the table. They are both
useful and ornamental; the beautiful is
combined with the useful, and he who
can afford such things will find home
happier by investing in this direction.
Don't take our word for the above, but
gostep in, look, admire and buy,
and then thank us for telling you
where to find happiness, and William.
for placing such precious gifts within
your reach We could write column
laudatory of Williams ware, but we
will ask you to see for yourselves.

The COncert.-The Concert given
by the Congregational Choir last Thurs
day evening was attended by an appre-
clative audience. The attendance was
not large. SO far as we have heard ex-
pressions from our people, they all,
without exception pronounce it 'sexcel-
lent"
The programme comprised selections
from some of the best composers, and
considering the fact that nearly all the
choir were suffering with severe colds,
they were rendered very finely. Miss
Compton presided at the organ, play
ing with her accustomed taste and rem
dering the accom- paniments to the va
rious anthems. solos, and duets in a
manner highly creditable. The solos
by the Misses Winnie and Susie Rablin
were we'll executed. They have fine
voices OF excellent compass, Which,
with proper care, and cultivation will
become superior. The Duet from Bel
shazzar by Mr.. Philleo and Miss Fanny
Baker was one of the finest selection
of the evening. Miss Fannie has a
sweet voice Of large compass and exc
eutes with taste. The "song of the
Negro Boatman" by Miss Rosa We'll
Ter, was capital, Miss Rosa enunciates
distinctly, and enters into the spirit of
the music she renders. Her voice is as
clear as bell. An alto solo by Miss
Marie Fontaine, was finely rendered
Mis- Marie can, and will improve in
