MIR. Durham, from the committee
on expenditures in the justice depart
,ment reported bill regulating the
employment of special counsel for the
government. He spoke Of the recent
whisky trials where one government
counsel in one case claimed s2G, 900.
The bill passed. The house then
went into committee Of the whole OH
the legislative appropriation bill,-
but soon rose and took recess until
7:30 this evening.
After discussing tho minor points
of the bill, striking out appropriations
for government printing, the debate
arose on the item reducing the pres
-idents salary to $4,000, which Obri-
an, Randall and Hale participated,
the latter protested against this thing
being forced on the president by be-.
ing incorporated in an appropriation
/ bill. =l-=
| Mr.. Hoar said the president must
protect the dignity Of his office. This
attempt to put constraint on the
president in Il. Judgment utterly
1repugnant to parliamentary history.
Mr.. Randall replied that fourteen
years experience had taught him that
the republican side Of the house had
adopted that means Of legislation,
uniformly TO increase the cxpendi.
lures Of the government, and now a
democratic majority had had the rule
] changed SO that reductions Of expen-
ses might be made in an apPFopFiy-
tion bill.
1 Mr.. Hale asserted that the last days
of the democratic administration
which the gentleman had ever-seen,
or ever would see, some Of the most
1 pernicious Legislation had been crowd
ed and whipped and driven through
both houses Of congress on appropria-
tion bills He predicted -ttlat@tise

inpowcr would witness carnival Of
legislation in the interest of extrava-
| gance>and in breaking down economy
before which that gentleman would
: be powerless as a child before the
storm.
After further debate, tile O'Brier
amendment wasS rejected and the
salary remains at s25 900 after March
1871. The committee then rose afte'
, disposing Of II Of the 81 pages Of the
bill, and the house then adjourned.

favors would ask a still further indnl-
gence. ...-
Old John Robinson gathered up many
fiity.cent pieces on Thursday afternoon
and evening. Although We consider his
show almost a failure, yet the greater
part Of the thousand people who saw the
performance went away well satisfied.
The Democratic Senatorial Convention
met at Phillippi yesterday, and slaught-
cred our friends Smith, Cofran, Jarvis,
Wood and Bennett. The nominee is
Charles W. Newton, OF Taylor, gentle
man who had the honor to represent our
people at Richmond, during the war, and
and Is, therefore, fully qualified 70 ill
place on the Democratic ticket. At the
same time his nomination is considered'a
triumph for Chas. J. Faulkner. II Mr..
Newton is elected, Just SO sure is Mr..
Faulkner OF avote in the Senste to fill
the place now occupied by Mr..
Davis. Unfortunately for Mr. Faulk.
ner, in his absence attending the
convention, the appropriation for tie i'm.
provement OF the Upper Mpnongahela,
has been stricken from the bill, As Mar
ION, Monongalia, Harrison and other
counties arc interested in this appropria-
ton, we are not sure but Mr.. Faulkner
has lost more than If lie had attended to
his and the peoples business, and not
have entered into the hunt Of such small
game. Evidently Mr.. Faulkner has lost
ground by his eagerness to capture a
State Senator. We are no admirers OF
either Mr.. Faulkner or Mr.. Davis, yet
we credit Mr.. Davis with attending TO the
business entrusted to him.
Had Col. Smith, or Col. Cofrau, been in
the rebel army, or even South dnring the
late unpleasantness, Brother Newton
would not have been the nominee. Dem.
ocraIs who were not red hot rebels can.
not and will not vote for Mr.. Newton.
Indeed, you may look for the whole
ticket 10 DO scratched more or less. II
Is seldom that the rank and file Of
the Democratic party are surprised, yet
they must be when called upon 10 vote
for the very men who manufactured the
bloody shirts, and arc expected to hug
the snake that has already bitten them,
TO place il in their bosoms, TO hold II close
to their hearts, that the poison shall cir
culate throug b their yiens as well as
through those Of the truly loyal to the
Democratic party. '''''.'' ~
