The Deadlock.

The deadlock between House and Senate
on the appropriation bills still continues.
The candid observer viii readily concede
that the blame for this obstruction of legisla-
tion rests with the House, for while there
are some items Of expense to the reduction of
which the Senate may reasonably yield, the
major portion of the reductions proposed are
out of serious question. The lawful purpose
of an appropriation bill is to provide annually
for the maintenance of the civil service, to
furnish money to pay salaries as established
by law, and it is not in the scope of bill cf
Salaries specifically fixed by law can only be
changed by law. If contrary practice has
ever obtained it is one of those abuses OF leg
islation against which Democrats have been
crying out during the last fifteen years.
Even if this reduction of salaries were law
full it could not be defended on grounds of
justice or expediency. Most of the salaries
reduced were established in 1858, and il they
were not too high then they certainly are not
too high now. That this view of the case is
not wholly partisan one is evinced by the
attitude of the Democratic Senators who re-
fuse to join in the crusade against the civil
service which has been started by the repre-
sentatives of their party in the House.
The truth is the Democratic House never
expected these reductions to be made. 1t
knew they could not be made without seri-
ously crippling the service. 1t was confident
that the Senate would reject them. 1t saw an
opportunity, as it thought, to make party
capital, to furnish its campaign orators with
startling exhibits of reductions made or pro-
posed by Democratic legislators, to represent
the Senate before the people as opposed to
economy and favoring profuse expenditures.
Confidently relying upon the good sense of
the Senate to defeat its "Buncombe" meas
ures it went to the widest extremes of pars-
mony in its appropriation bills, well know
ing that they would never be passed and that
| thus the civil service would escape without

A Word from BiddefOrd.
BIDDEFoRD, June Stb, 1876.

oiOOhcOhDg cdhC osh1 AOtOs
To the Editor of the Press:
The statement published in. the Argus this
morning, to the effect that am an outspoken
Bristow man, being convinced after reading
the Washington testimony touching the Hon.
James G. Blaine, that that gentleman was not
worthy OF the position for which he is o promi-
nent candidate, is false and without foundation.
] am now and ever have been a firm supporter
of Mr. Blaine for the Presidency, and after
carefully reading all the testimony produced at
the investigation in Washington, 4 ann more
than ever conviced of his honesty and integrity
and fitness for the high position to which he
may be nominated by the Republican party.
The Republicans of Bddeford (and they are
nearly all enthusiastic members of the Blaine
Club take little stock in the attempt of
"Knocked to Pot" Hunton and the other rebel
leaders of the Democratic majority in the
House, to slander and iniure the reputation Of
so honorable, worthy, true and loyal man as
the Hon. james G. Blaine.
The Blaine Club here is in a most flourish
ing condition, and should Maine's honored
representative be nominated at Cincinnati,
Biddeford would give him good majority as
she did our candidate in '68 and ~. "Any-
thing to beat Blaine now is the cry of the De-
mocracy. Yours truly,
JESSE GOULD,
President of the Blaine Club.

IT was Senator Davis of West Virginia
who charged gross Irregularities upon the
Treasury department, and the charge was
echoed by Democratic journals all over the
country. Even the argus had its small say.
Now the committee to examine the Treasury
books make report, concurred in by Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, which says that the
discrepancies pointed out are not real, and
that the books of the treasury have never
been altered nor the mode of keeping them.
The mode of making up the monthly debt
statements has been changed, and the reason
for SO doing was explained to the satisfaction
of the entire committee. There is no dis
crepancy between the actual money in the
treasury and the accounts as published. The
committee find that the apparent discrepancy
grows out of the trust fund, unavailable bal
ances and the outstanding warrants. The
committee recommend that all trust funds be
covered into the treasury, and that the una
vailable balances be charged over to the vari-
Gus funds. No change in the mode of book
keeping is recommended.

Ex-Gov. Bullock of Georgia prints long
letter OF vfndication. The principal points
are that ne acted for the best in 1871, that his
accounts were left in perfect order, that he
didn't run away to avoid investigation, that
all the bords issued by him were issued in
strict accordance with law, and that his Of.
tcial acts have not been the necessary
cause of a dollars loss to tie State, or
cents gain to himself. The belief in Georgia
seems to be that the ex-governor will be Sc
verely let alone.

THE leading question in inquiring circles
just now is, What word did Mr.. Frye empha-
size in his reply to Proctor Knott's remark
that "Your friend Blaine is the Cd d-est
scoundrel in America? ?n Did he say ''You
forget yourself, Mr.. Knott" or ''You forget
yourseE, Mr.. Knott?" If the emphasis was
placed on the last word Mr.. Knotts admis
sion, eyes, do" was certainly surpris-
ingly frank one.

can writing from Eliot relative to the caucus in
that town Friday says: ''As soon as the bal
loting commenced we found that the Burleigh
men were determined to elect their delegates at
all events (as they had made their boasts to do
by fair or foul play and his supporters were
detected in voting double by the chairman and
both sslectmen and by others. Men who had
voted the Democratic ticket for years were run
in and voted for Burleigh delegates. Those
opposed to Burleigh delegates protested against
such proceedings, and getting no satisfaction
retired from caucus and chose set of. f.delegates
to attend the state, county and district conven-

chosen to attend the district convention. viz
