general reduction of salaries OF Gov
eminent officers. This Ministry be-
ing uncertain of the support of the
House in such measure and fear
ing that such proposal on their
part might jeopardize the result
desired, put before the House just
the Appropriations of the last
period, leaving it to the good sense
of the House to act accordingeto
their own Judgment.
Rep. Smith spoke at considerable
length in favor OF the resolution
There had never been such time as
now with the excess of opium SNUG
Cling and open gambling. The
country and the Government was so
dobased that the proposition was
made to introduce lottery a
branch of the Louisiana lottery, or
something equally corrupt. He
would defy anyone to name time
of such general Generalization. The
affairs of the Government were not
in safe hands with the present Min
istry.
A motion was made 400 that the
House adjourn but was lost, 20 to

Rep. Bipikane said he had no feel

The Committee of Finance had not
said much against the Ministry in

hardly got my breath yet from the
suddenness of my appointment. Had
