Salaries Reduction.

The United States Senate has at
last passed bill repeating the salary
act of March 3D., 1873. The bill was
offered last Monday by Senator Conk
ling as substitute for the House
bill. If trepeals the obnoxious act Of
March Sd except as TO the salaries Of
the President and Judges of the Su-
preme Court, and reduces salaries to
the old figures. 1t provides further
that no mileage shall be allowed for
tie first session Of the 43d Congress,
and that all undrawn or returned
back pay shall be covered into the
Treasury.
After some discussion and the re-
lection Of a number of amendments
by decisive votes, the substitute was
adopted and the bill passed; yeas 80,
nays S--viZ: Senators BroWnlOw,
Conover, Flanagan, Gordon, Lewis,
Norwood, Sprague and Upton. Coop

In the Senate on the Sth, the bill
to repeal the salary bill of March Sd,
1871 being under consideration, the
question recurred ON an amendment
by Mr. Pratt, providing that the pay
of C0ngressmen for the remainder of
thisLongress shall be such an amount
rs t. make the total, with that al
rea& received, $40, ,000-that is s., 600
for @sch year. The amendment WIS
reje&ted by - nays to II yeas. AL
lisoA and Wright of Iowa voted no.
Ths vote Of our Iowa Senators is
verHsharply criticised by the Ud,ck-
eyeAud other Iowa Journals, of both
par3es. We cannot say the the crit
icisstes are unjust. In the case of Sen
atorNright, especially, the vale at
leasBseems inconsistent with his ac-
tiveswork for the repeal. There is
an effort, however, upon the part of
theenemes Of the repeal to kill the
bilfby loading it with amendments.
Senator Wrights endeavor has been
to brins the question of repeal before
boths Houses, in Such shape~as to
forcesa square vote on the main ques-
tion,a and give no man an opportuni-
Il, to.say he voted against 1t on ac-
count Of amendments. On the 9th
Mr.1ordon offered an amendment
reducing - per cent. or the pay Of
all ofiicers i'll the army and Navy
and ali other government officials
whose pay exceeds $1,000 year.
Mr.. Wright appealed to him not to
press the amendment now, as il
would endanger the passage Of the.bill
He knows that if the bill is passed at
all twill be on a close vote, and that
too many amendments will surely
kill It.

Cushing to take the place of that OF
