T?iebill to admit Nebraska was fnk-en up.
The question whb upon Mr. Hendrlck'a mo'ion
to postpone farther consideration ol the bill until
the seventh of January next.
Mr. EDMUNDS, of Vermont, took the floor In
support of the amendment of PIr. Hrown, of Mis
aourt, atlnchinR the condition of Impartial suflrage
upon the Bdmiiplon of the State. He maintained
that Connress had the riitht to make conditions
precedent to the admission of a State, and that it
-would- be retrograding from the principle of equal
rights -asserted in the District Cutlrage bill to per
mit a new coming State to deny emirate on ac
count of color.
Mr. WADE, of Ohio, denied that In advocating
this bill he was lei-s the advocite oi' free principles
than he hnd been in former days. He regarded
this bill aa a help nnd not a hindracs to free prin.
ciples.
Mr. EDMVJfps r.?l:o.l Mr. Wade If he believe 1
a constitution restricting suirrngo to white persjns
was just or riRht.
Mr. WAU.'i Btiid he hfld always been the advo
cate of Impartial eullrtiRe. He brltevod in I' now
as ronch as ever; btu he did not bclxve in losing
the substance to pnup at a shtidow.
Mr. l'OmlinuY gave the r .-aeons wiry heshould
vo'e againpt Mr. Itruwu's amendment, aud for the
bill, lie Jeit bound, he said, to net in good fai'U
to that Slate, and could exact no conditions now
that were not in the enabling act.
Mr. HOW ATI), or Michifrnn, replied to thn
speech of JUr. Elmunds, denying the riel.tof Oon
gress to attach Hie conditions ol Mr. I'rown's
amendment
At a 4.0 1. M.. no vote having been taken cn the

of the debate, the smallness of population, etc.
Mr. M'HAOl't, of Rhode Island, followed Mr.

Mr. Morrill, from the Committee of Wave and
Moans, reported back the (senate joint resolution in
relation to the fettlement ol the occounisof W. r.
"Wingate, Collector or thel'oitof Bangor, Maine.
Read three tlmos and pas ed.
The House went into Committee of tho Wnole'on
tho stato of the Union, Mr. Walker in the chair, on
the President's Annual Message.
Mr. Wise (Ky.) resumod his argument against the
power of Congress to territorialize the lately rebel
lious States.
Mr. LAWRENCE, of Ohio, followed with an
argument in support of bis proposition to reduce
the salaries of Senators and members of Congress.
He said he had introduced and wonld urge the
passage of two bills, one to repeal the act of J aly
last, increasing salaries, so as to restore the salary
to what It was before the Increase, but leaving the
mileage reduced one-half; the other to reduce the
mileage still .lower to ten cents per mile. They
were introduced separately, so that objections to
either might not be urged to defeat the other.
He gave a detailed estimate of the cost and saving
to the treasury, and said the Mileage bill would
save annually Sl'Jj.uot). With the present number
of members, if Congress took large salaries it
could not consistently econoraiza in other de
partments, so that all the expenses of the govern
ment were affected by this. Judge Story had de.
dared that the most wholesome lessons to be
taught in republics are that men should learn suit
able economy and prudence In their private nf
Jaire. It was a great question, affecting pri
vate as well as public interests and morals.
The Constitution denied the English rnle which
gives no pay to members ot Parliament. Hat
large salaries were not necessary, aa sometimes
urged, to prevent corrup ion. The corrective ljr
this was to be found in the virtue and intelligence
of the people. Adequate talent could be secured
lor all ollices on moderate salaries, and this was
attested by the lact that candidates were really
more numerous than ollices. The true mode of
compensation was by per diem wages, as the prac
tice was for the first sixty-six years of the govern
ment, except for the Fourteenth Congress. A sal
ary had a tendency rather to induce a neglect of
business, while a ptr diem secured it. Hut be had
not sought to revive this, because he deemed it im
possible now.
The annual record of IHfll showed the average
salaries of the highest judges of twenty-tour of the
Stales to be fr-JoOli, anil in t!U7 collection districts
less than hall the incomes assessed lor taxation
leached :i(i(iu, while by far the largest number of
all is much lets. Olliclal and unollicial salarus
generally would prove the justice of his bills.
The law of July c-hould be repealed, becaube it was
passed by being coupled with another provision
giving bounties to soluier9. The House twice
voted almost unanimoui-ly against an increase of
salaries, it was carried througtl in the Senate
with only two Democratic votes against it, aud in
the House with only seven Democratic votes
against it, and with only thirty-live Republican
votes in Us favor and forty-three against it.
The Secretary ot the Treasury has recommended
a reduction of the greenback currency, with a
View to a reuueuon oi prices, lie opposed any
material reduction of the currency now, as it
would add to our national debt, increase its
burden, and diminish our means of paying it; aud
while this scheme was urged it was no time to bu
increasing salaries. The salaries of assessors, col
lectors, aud many officers were, some ot them, now
too higU In comparison with the rewurds of labor
and employments generally. The average salaries
of assessors tor letii and lboti were over four thou
sand dollars. He would vote lor no Increase of
expenses except only the demanded bounties for
all the soldiers of the republic, the hundred days'
men of Ohio included.
Mr. HAND ALL, of Pennsylvania, Interrupted
Mr. Lawrence, to ask whether he knew of a single
member who had not taken his Increased pay I
Mr. LAWRENCE replied that he did not.
Mr. MAYNARD, of Tennessee, felt it due tD
himself to say that be had not taken the increased
compensation till after the matter had gone before
(lie great body of the American people, aud after
he had seen a gentium:. n who had taken it (menu
lug Mr Randall) returned with great, unanimity.
Mr. RANDALL, oi Pennsylvania, 6aid he was
Clad that the gentleman (Mr. Maynaid) and him
self were both in accord with the American people
on that particular point. (Laughter.)
Mr. CORD, of Wisconsin, stated that he had
voted against the increase of compensation, uud
would have defeated It if he could. He believe 1
that it was wrong; that it wa dishonest: or, cor
recting himself, that U would have been dishonest
if he hud voted for it.
Mr. ASHLEY, of Ohio, remarked, laughingly,
that be had been about calling one gentleman to
order.
Mr. COBB thanked the gentleman. He repeated
Ihat be had voted against the increased coinpensu.
tion, and had drawn no part of it. He should wait
a little longer than the gentleman from 'VenuHBsee
Mr Mayiiurd) had waited, and until Cougres
should by Its non-acllon or its action, reiterate in
ami ddlbw ate manner its wisn in thg jamier.
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAHI. rillLADELFlIlA, FKIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 18GG.
Mr. MAYNARD, of Tennessee, asked whether
the gentleman (Mr. Cobb) appealed from the tie
Clolon of the people to this body f
Mr. COBH did not think that the people hnd in.
Jorsed that sctlon of Congress. On Ihe contrary,
he hart found it the greatesterabarrassment against
which he hnd to contend in the recent canvass.
He asked the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Lawrence)
whether he had drawn Ins extra compensation I
Mr LAWRENCE thought that If the question
of extra compensation bud been Ihe only question
before the people at the Inst canvas, the members
who voted for it would have been buried ten thou
and fathoms deep. There never had been a bill
pa-ised increasing the compensation of members
thnt had not been disapproved by the people. He
confessed that he had received his extra compen
sation. Mr. DHIOdS, of Michigan, inquired facetiously
whether the gentlnn in had lei t bad when he re
ceived it. (Laughter.)
jlr. LAWRENCE did not perceive the perti
nency of the question. He had no doubt but that
the . ireiulemeu lrom Michigan (Mr. Driggs) felt
very good when he received his.
Mr, DKHK1S 1 did. (Peals of laughter.)
Mr. HILL said he hu.t understood Mr. Ltw
renee to hold that the Constitution required mem
bers ta receive compensation; thnt It was a part of
their Luty. He desired to Know whether the gen
tleman lrom Wifconsin, ( Mr. Cobb, ) by failing to
pertorin that duty, had subjected himself to ex
pulsion' (Laughter)
Mr. LAWRENCE replied that he was In favor
of the impeachment of some ollicers of the gov
emment, but would reserve his opinion as to
whether a member ouht to bo expell(t f r the
reaton assigned by the gentleman from Wisconsin.
Mr. Cobb could not get ontot the matter by re
fuit.g to raw his extra compensation, ns it stood
to bis credit with the Eergeant-at-arms, and could
he drawn out, in case of death, by his udmmis
trutors. The only clleclnnl mode v as to draw the
money and pay it into the conscience fund.
Mr HILL asked Mr. Lawrence, tormentingty,
whether he bad paid his back to the conscience
lundl (LatiBhtei . )
Mr. LAW-UKNOE replied that he had not, and
did not intend to, unless required lo do it by law.
If a bill for that purpose were introduced and
should be found pnoiioabie, he would vote lor it,
und comply with it.
Mr. DRiGUiS said that the question hid br-en
made a direct Isane in his district, and he had de
clared that he voted for it because he thought that
If 5 .1,1 (in campensatlon wns riht before the war, it
certainly was right now, when it cost twice as
much lo live. IIih people had indorsed that view,
nud had given him an increased majority.
Mr. HA 1( DING, of Illinois, related his experi
ence as differing lrom that of Mr. Driggs. He had
voted against the conference report equalising
soldiers' bounties, because that measure had been
associated in the report with the obnoxious me is
lire increasing the pay ot members, and his con
stituents, though deeply interested in favor of toe
increase of bountirs, bud indorsed his action and
quadrupled his majority. It therefore appeared
t but the medicine acted differently in diuVreiu
places. (Laughter.)
Mr. OKI IN NELL, of Iowa, obtained the floor,
and outlined the argument, which he proposed to
make when be should next address the committee.
The com mi tide then rose, mid the Sptnger re
sumed the Chair.
The SPEAKER presented Executive documents
