THE STOLEN SALARIES,
Defeat of the Bill to Reimburse Rep
resentatives Who Lost by Silcott.

The bill to reimburse the members of the
House for the salaries lost through the defalca-
ton of Cashier Silcott was defeated in the
House yesterday by vote Of l42 nays to 126
yeas. Whom the matter was first brought up
day before yesterday it was evident that a
large majority of the members were ready to
vote for the appropriation, but as the discus
sion proceeded and the strict constructionists
hammered away at the scheme the courage OF
some OF the friends Of the bill slowly oozed
out The talk of a salary grab frightened a
great many. Still on the rising vote upon the
passage of the bill majority were in favor of
it, but when roll call was ordered, to put on
record all the votes cast, the majority quickly
melted into a minority. The first vote was
taken on Mr.. Hemphill's substitute sending the
members to the Court of Claims for the settle
ment of the matter. This was defeated by a
vote of l3S nays to 1856 yeas. The vote was
then taken directly on the passage OF the bill
making the appropriation of $4,000 to pay the
members their salaries.
