Senators Upperman aud Arnh9lt, Oi
Allegheny, yesterday rendered 'Ieil resig
nations ID president pro tenn. Myliu, Of
the Senate, to take effect Oh Tuesday
next
1t is said that Senators Mcneil. Of
Allegheny, and Boggs, Of Cambria, W u
follow UpPermau aud AruLC,t. Thy are
very sore over the action Of the Stalwart
caucus on tho bill making appropriations
for the expenses of the extra ses sIDu. They
claim that the bill as II came from the
House should have been reported to the
Senate, instead of which it was amended.
rs they say, TO give few Eastern senator's
like Cooper, George Handy, Smith, Ste
wart and others who are candidates for
reelection next year, a little cheap bun
combe and put the Allegheny sona, Drs,
who have been in Harrisburg all along, 10
tho position of salary grabberS. Upperman
says the thing WAS fixed up in Philadelphia
by Cooper and a couple of other senators
aud put though in a caucus numbering
thirteen. Eight Of them outvOted the
other five. After the caucus he told Coop
er he had made a bad blunder, whish
would recoll on him, and it would be a
difficult thing for him TO avoid trouble, but
Cooper, Davis aud several others would
not listen.
In further explanation Of their course
Upporman says The salary bill as
amended in the Senate committee provided
thlt senator's should take pay only for
those days they could certify as having
been IN the service of the Senate, this
including the time spent in going 10 and
coming from home. N0v'h Q ~cqtlemen
who hatched this littls scheme live near
harrisburg. They could come here for
the session in tho morning and leave on
the afternoon of the same day. L. takes
the western senators day to 60 aud a day
ID come, besides the day they are here
That eXhausts the week. The eastern
senators can very well afford to 60 up to
the presiding officers aud say We only
want pay for two days while We who have
lost the whole week ask pay for that time
The consequence will be that they will be
pointed out as models Of virtue, while we
are bounded as thieves and salary grabbgrs
simply because We took what is by right
our due. told Cooper this in caucus. and
said he would have trouble, aud he will
have his hands full how. object TO being
placed in false position simply TO make
a little cheap buncombe for certain people
VINO are scheming to get back to the Sen

IN 'he senate Yesterday.
Ia the Senate yesterday, the amended
salary Dill, giving the senators lump ap
preparation Tor the entire session was put
upon final passage. Mr.. King, who saw
that the friends OF the measure could not
muster 20 votes, the constitutional ma
Jorlty necessary to pass IL, moved To
postpone IT'S consideration for the present.
Mr.. Adams vigorously opposed this and
contended that, az every day spent in con
sdering the bill cost $4,000, the total
would reach the amount sought 10 he
saved to the treasury by the original
Senate committee amendments. Mr. Kiuyis
motion was defeated by II nays TO 10
yeas.
Mr.. sutton moved to reconsider tho vote
oy which the bill passed third reading, as
no desired To offer an amendment giving
senators pay only for the days they had
devoted To the service of the state from
June 10. This was voted down, and then
Sr. Davies moved to postpone tho bill
until Tuesday morning, as IL was patent
that there was not enough votes 70 pass il
now. This was opposed so strongly nv
Senators Herr and LOngenecker that Mr..
Davies withdrew il.
Mr.. Gordon said he should vote against
the BILL because he regarded IL as inordi
ha1ely eHtraVagant, Bad as 1t was when
II came from the House, tho Senate had
made IT worse. 1t had diyed down into
Inc Inc treasury just as far as it could 90.
There were legal objections, he said, which
no would not now give.

the hnai passage of tho bill and were as
