The Democratic House of Repre-
sentatiyes passed the general appro-
priation bill some time ago, in which
was made a reduction in the salaries
of officials, including Cengressmen
and Senators and the President.
Last week the Republican Senate
amended the bill by increasin the
salaries of themselves and Congress
men, $500, and fixing the Presidents
salary at $4,000 per year. The Re-
publican Senate stands in the way OF
a Democratic House in making re.
auctions and economizing;in expendi.

The Senate has decided by a ma
jority vote that it has Jurisdiction in
the BELKNAP impeachment, but they
desire to put off the trial until after
the Presidential election. This is
decidedly thin. The Republican
Senate hasn't the moral courage to
decide n of their own men guilty
-thoy fear the effect on the people,
and they dare not acquit him after
his own confession. Hence they
hope to put it off until a time when
its effect win not be felt SO much.

Thirty-four hundred dollars was
the amount distributed to the COM

large revenue,t the city of Goshen and
the city of Elkhart derives from the
same source.

The Cincinnati Journal Of 3om-
merce, neutral in politics, editorially
endorses VIM. BELL, jr., for Secretary
of State. 1t says:
"Without intending to express a
word that may be Thought derogato-
ry to the rival candidate in the other
party, We honestly beiieve'that the
State of Ohio will be largely honor
ed in the reelection of this whole
souled, generous-hearted and highly
capable officer to the position he now
so ably fills. = His personal
and official merits are stronger cleo
pioneering material in his favor than
any amount of political log-rolling.'

The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Herald, in speaking
of the Investigations by the House of
Representatives, says that the result
of the inquiries cannot be success
fully belittled. The general result
of the investigation, he says, as the
Democrats rightly claim, has shown
a condition of affairs which, if laid
before the public, as they mean to do
in the canvass, can scarcely fail to
have o powerful effect on the public
mind. The inquiries have shown
looseness in the administration of
public trust; the post-tradership had
become during the present admins
tration simply perquisites, given
away by high officers to relatives or
favorites, and sold by them to actu-
al traders; that a brother Of the Pre-
sident was employed at a regular
salary by a mercantile firm to pro-
cure them government contracts;
that a brother of the most intimate
friend of Secretary Robson made a
great sum of money out ofnaval con-
tractors, and that Robson himself
favored a banking firm with large
loans of government money in time
of panic and commercial depression.
The investigation of the Ffeedmen's
bank management shows looseness,
extravaganza and favoritism in all its
affairs, which, considering the OBJ
ject of the bank, are really criminal.
The investigations of Indian Affairs
have shown, even at their present
stage, the universal prevalence of
favoritism and wastefulness in the
expenditure Of public money, loose
ness in the execution of trusts, the
careless spending of money without
the authority of regular appropria-
tons, lack of vigilance in the chief
officers, and condoning of neglect and
incapacity in the lower offices, es-
pecially where they had powerful po-
'~litical friends. The general man
agement of affairs has also been
shown by the Investigations to be
~carelessness and extravaganza.

1t is safe to say that no Republi-
can Presidential nomination was ev-
er received with as little enthusiasm
as that of Gov. Hayes last week.
Most of our readers can remember
when the first mention of a nominee
seemed to enthuse the people, and
utterance was given to it in no mod
ulated voice. The morning journals
brought to us columns of reading
about impromtu ratification meet
ings, which tended to keep the soul
warmed up; but how different was
the reception of the news last week.
In this State, the home of the nomi-
nee, the most that can be said is that
it is satisfactory; but even here they
dare not risk an impromptu meeting,
.preferring to wait and give notice of
it, lest it should be a failure. Why
is this? Because the nomination
does not suit, or because Republi-
cans are not so enthusiastic as form
erly.

THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
CONVENTION.

The agony is over. The mountain
has labored and brought forth
platform and candidates. Most of
our readers have doubtless read the
proceedings Of the Republicans Ma
tional Convention at Cincinnati, a
synopsis of which is given on our
outside. Like many Conventions of
the kind, the result was a surprise to
everybody. Blaine went into the
Convention the strongest man there,
and Hayes stood less chance appar-
for the nomination, than any
other candidate, and yet he proved
the winning horse on the It'll ballot.
Strength, on the first ballot in aeon
vention is, paradoxical as it may
seem, an element of weakness. The
strong candidate excites the envy Of
all the weak ones, and they make
common cause, and form all sorts OF
combination against him. I h e
friends of Bristow, Morton and Conk-
ling were bent on beating Blaine,
while the friends of each ere deter
mined that neither of the Others
should win. When Blaine ran up tc
30S votes on the 9Th ballot every o.e
saw that the seventh would be decis,
i've; a brief consultation showed
Hayes to be less Objectionable thar
either of the other opponents O
Blaine, and the result a Hayes
nomination, as stated.

OF VIM. A. Wheeler we know Blu
little. He is said to stand high il

him, as an honest, upright gentle
man. He has represented aportioi
