Salaries of surveyors-General-M APP
prOprlations.
Especial to the RECORD UNION
WASHINGTON, May 21st.-The legislative
executive and judicial appropriation bill was
passed by the Senate to-day with very few
changes III the Pacific coast items. The Sen
ate makes the salaries of all the Surveyors
General Except California;, expressly equal
in amount, namely 81, 500 each, which is in
most cases reduction from the amounts
provided by the House. California's Surveyor
Il ~ e nj =
propriated for clerks in his Office. The mint
appropriations, heretofore reported, are
not changed, the total for San Fran
cisco being the large amount of
1869, 900, and for Carson City S125, $50,
these sums in each instance being the full
amount of the Department estimates. The
final retention OF this liberal provision for the
Carson Mint is specially noteworthy, and will
set at rest all apprehensions of a removal or
abandonment of that institution. 1t may be
properly added, however, that the PROPOSE
ton for a removal or abandonment has never
had any chance of passage through the Sem
ate against Senator Jones' determined oppO-
sition and influence in that body, even if, by
any application of the law, or under a sUs
pension of the rules, it could have been
rushed through the House.
