ments we should review all and make
general adjustment of the same, having in
view the work respectively performed,
giving preference of exceptions from re-
duction to all salaries of $1,000 and,s.un-
der. sa~..
In the matter Of the pay of clerks Of
the different grades the House submitted
the following proposition:
That the pay of clerks Of class l, shall
be $1,000 per annum; Of class 2, $3.50
per annum; of class 3, $3.50, per annum
OF class 4, Sl,700 per annum; and the
pay of all chiefs of divisions, in all the
auditors offices and registers Offices and
other chiefs of like grade shall be $500
per annum; the pay of the chief Of the
division of the Comptroller's offices and
like grade shall be 1000 per annum; ten
per cent. reduction on all other salaries
except those of the Secretaries and those
OF 81 200 and under.
Many of the Democratic members have
been in attendance at the st. Louis con-
yention and have not yet returned. There
was none of the excitement over this af-
fair that was visible during the session of
the Cincinnati Convention. But little
popular interest was manifested in its
proceedings and the nomination of Tilden
seems to have fallen like wet blanket
upon the western Democrats. The beat
en- infationists will render this ticket a
very slim and Indifferent support.
Ex-Speaker Blaine's sickness seems to
be of more serious nature than his
friends had hoped. The day after the
result Of the Cincinnati Convention was
known, he was out on the street looking
as fresh, bright and cheerful as in his
balmiest days, but he had a relapse and
his condition has been such of late as to
cause much anxiety. He suffers from
low form of malarial fever that was quite
prevalent in Washington during the win
ter. His physicians, fearing a prolonged
and serious illness, advised a change of
climate, and on Wednesday last he left,
accompanied by his family, in a special
car, for his home in Augusta, Maine
Senator Morrill, of Maine has informed
President Grant that he is not prepared
to decide whether or not he could accept
the Office of Secretary of the Treasury, as
public considerations continue to prevent
his reaching decision at the present
juncture of affairs, but that he expects to
see his way clearly to conclusion within
few days.
A joint resolution was offered in the
House few days ago, providing for an
adjournment Of the two Houses Of Con-
gress to Philadelphia, to meet in Inde-
pendence Hall, on the 4th of July. 1t
was referred to the committee on the Cen
tennial and may be adopted.

WHEELER.

A private letter from Judge Lough-
ridge, written in New York, says: "The
general impression here is that Hayes and
Wheeler will carry this State without a
doubt" Some months since, in private
conversation, Judge L. in speaking of
Wheeler said to the writer hereof: "He
is the strongest man in the House, with
the members; not possessed of the
dash and brilliancy of Blaine, but he is
one Of the strong, earnest men; seldom
takes the floor, but when he does, every
member listens attentively, for they know
he has something important to say. Ill
had a measure to put through the House.
I would rather have Wheeler advocate it
than any other member" This, from a
man who served several years with him,
is a compliment of the highest kind.

DEMOCRATIC TESTIMONY AGAINST
TILDEN.

Ex7Speaker Littlejohn, an active New
York Democrat, says "Tilden cannot carry
New York"
Senator Beck of Kentucky said at st.
Louis: "The currency question cuts no
figure with us. We are looking for the
man who can win, the same as most of
the Southern States are doing. Wewant
to find the man who can carry the North,
and our votes are at his command"
Gen. John B. Steadman, an Ohio dele
gate at st. Louis, said Tilden would be
beaten in Ohio sixty to seventy thousand
votes, and in Indiana twenty to twenty
five thousand.
Mr.. Ambrose H. Purdy, an eloquent
New York Democrat, said at St. Louis:
"Mr. Tilden has no war record. Re-
publicans can say in the approaching con-
test to the people, Twill you abandon Gen.
Hayes, the soldier that was fighting in
the battles front and rescuing from des-
truction the Union? Can you, soldiers,
and fathers of men who died in the war,
can you afford to hand over the affairs
of the Government to Mr.. Tilden, who by
no public act, t$ no public declaration,
ever declared himself in favor of the
prosecution of the WARP" The answer
will come as it has for twelve years: ave
will not. ,"
The editor of the Brooklyn Argus sent
the following warning telegram to one Of
the New York delegates last Wednesday:
D. G. LITTLEJoHN, ST. LoUIs.-Any
good Democrat can carry Brooklyn by l5-
900 majority. Tilden will lose it by
5000. DEMAs BARNES,
Editor Argus.

ocratir naner in that CITY

IMPUDENCE.

When Herman put Tilden in nomina-
ton at St. Louis he said: Don't you
"need change ard reform, you frm-heart-
"ed men of the South, who have been
"trampled down in all your civil rights?"
Of course the defeated rebels in the con
vention greeted the remarks with ap-
plause, and yet there was not an ex-rebel
in the convention who had not every
"civil right" that any Republican in Iowa
could boast of, and more than that, all
the rights they enjoyed were granted and
given them by the very Republican party
they were so abusing, an act of magDanim-
ity that no other nation ever did or ever
would extend to its rebellious citizens. Is
it not impudence for ex-rebels to talk of
rights, when the men who bore arms
against the nations life, now have ma
jority in one House of Congress, and are
striving for control of the whole country.
