A MELTING STORY. One winter evning a country store keeper in the Green Mountain Slala was about closing up for the night, and while standing ia the snow outside, putting up the window shutters, saw through the glass a lounging, worthless fellow within, grab a pound of fresh butter from the shelf, and eoncaaled it in bis hat. The act was no sooner detected than the revenge was hit upon, and a very few minutes found the Green Mountain store keeper at on<& indulging his appetite for ftin to the fullest extent, and paying off the thief with a facetious sort of torture, for which he would hava gained a premi um from the old Inquisition. "I say, Setb," said the storekeeper, com ing in and cloeing the door after him, slap ping his hand ovar hi* shoulders and stamping the snow off hi* feet. Beth had his hand on the door, his hat on his head, and tbe roll of butler in his hat, anxious to make bis exit as soon as possible. , "I say Setb, sit down ; I reckon now en such a cold night as this a little something worm would not hurt a fellow.'' Seth felt very uncertain; he bad. the butter and wae exceedingly anxious to be eff but the temptation of something warm sadly interfeared with his resolution lo.go This hesitation, however, wu soon settled by the right owner ef the butter taking Seth by the shoulders and planting him in a seat cloee to the stove, where ho was in such a manner cornered in .by the boxes and barrels that, wbile the grocer stood before him, there was no possibility of getting out, and right in this very place' shure enough the store-keeper sat down. "Sath, we'll have a little warm Santa Crux," said the Green Mountain grocer ; so he epened the stovo door, and stuffed in as many sticks as the place would admit; "without it yon'd freeze going heme such a cold night as this." Seth already felt the butter setteling down closer to his hair, and he jumped up, declaring he must go. "Not till you have something warm, Seth , Seth, come, I've got a story ta tell you," and Seth was again rushed into his seat by his cunning tormentor, "Oh 1 it's so hot here," said the petty thief, attempting to'risc. "Sit down—don't be in such a hurry," retorted the grocar, pushing him back in to bis chair. "But I've got the cow* to fodder, end the wood to split, and 1 must be going," Mid the persecuted chap. "But you musn't tear yourself away, Beth, ia this manner. Sit down, let the cow* take cere of themselves, and keep yourself cool; you appear to be a little fidgety," said the rogueish grocer with a wicked leer. The next thing was the production of two smoking glaues of hot toddy, the very sight of which in Seth's present situation, would have mada tha hair stand arect up on bis head bad it not bean well oiled and kept down by the butter. "Setb, I will giveyou a toast, now, and you can butter it yourself," said the gro cer, with an air of such consumate sim plicity. that poor Seth believed himself unsuspected. "Seth, here's —here's a Christmas goose, well roasted, eh ? 1 tell you it's the greatest eating in creation. And Seth ; don't you never use hog's fat, or common cooking butter, to paste it with; come, take your butter—l mean Seth, take your teddy." Poor Seth now began te smoke, as well as melt, and hit mouth was hermetically sealed up, as though he bad been born dumb. Streak after streak ef the butter came pouring from under hit hat, and his handkerchief was already soaked with the greasy overflow. Talking away, as if no thing was the matter, the fun-loving gro cer kept stuffing wood into the stove, while poor Seth sat upright, with his back against the oeunter, and his knees touching the red hot furnace before. "Cold night, thie," aid the grocer. "Why Seth you teem to pertpire at if you were warm? Why don't you take your hat off? Here, let me put your hat away. "No," exclaimed poor Setb, at last. "No, I mutt go, let me out, I ein t well; let me go. A greasy cataract WM now pouring down tha poor man's face and neck, and soaking into hit clothe*, end trickling down bi* body into hi* boot*, o that he vti literally in a perfect bath of oil. "Well, good night SaUi,* *aid the hu moroui Vermonter, "if you will go end adding, a* he darted out of the door, "1 say, Seth, I reckon the fuu I have had out of you h worth nine-peace, so I shan' charge you for that pound of buttei In your hat." SPICY SALARY GRAB 1)BBATI. , The Ueute at Washington had a 1Wlj debate, on 19th, which |r* wiirm, evei unto calling each other dogs, etc. girt the report here : . Mr. lUU, of New York, ruing to • per •on el explanation, toferred loan amend mint offered during yesterday's proceed inge by Mr. Wilson, of Indiana, direotini that any feci paid to any member of Con grata at an agent or counsel of the I ailev State*, while he vat tuch member, shouli have the amount ef tuch feet deducts* from hit cornpentatton at a member. lie taid that that wat Intended te fl* or the record* and debate* of the Houte i •tigma on him (Hale), a deliberate anti planned intuit, and a* tuch he accepted it He proceeded to fife the hittory of hit engagement a* an agent and counel o the United Stalet on the tuiied Britial end American Commission ; ot hit notify ing the Secretary of State, after hit elec tion at a member, that under the act e IXW he could not continue to act in a pro fettional relation with the United Stalet of the Secretary of Slate requesting him U continue in charge of the case, and of Con gress patting a.jomt reeolulion authoriting hit continued employment a* countel If there wat anything in theee tact* tc juttify the attempt to fatten a ttignia or him, he weuld he glad to learn it Mr. Eldridge, of Witcontln, asked Mr. Hale whether he did net receive during the time of hit professional service mort than he received at a member of Con gratt, even at the rate ef teven thousand Ave hundred dollert. Mr. Hele. The question o( the geetle ratn from Witcontln it simply impertinent, and e* uch 1 decline to entwet it. If he Jetiret te knew how much I have received in my profettional capacity, he will havt to inquire from othertourcea. Mr. EKlridge. I thought that tome thing which the gentleman taid yeaterJay wat impertinent, too. * Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania-Thi point it that the gentleman wat the reci pient of feet from the United Statea govern ment et the tame lime that he drew pay a* a member of Congreu. Deet he think that that it morally right? Mr. 11 ale. 1 did it under the authority of Congreu. I did it properly, lawfully, precisely at thetc gentlemen from Witcon tiu and Indiana take fee# from their cli ent# while member* of the Houte. The occasion of this assault upon me was mani fest 1 had the day before yetterday, in reply to the reuiarkt of the gentleman from Wisconsin tMr. Eldridge) in cour teous language and in parliamentary manner expressed my view* oa the pend ing bill. 1 expreesed myself without beai tation. without scrupling to tay precisely what I meant to tay. Within a very ihort time after 1 made those remark* I wat kindly warned by a distinguished gentleman en this floor that e castigation wat in store for me, and that children mutt not cry when hard knocks were given. I answered the gentleman with at much courage a* 1 could assume under tuch e formidable demonstration ; that I thought the children in my part of the houte would ho ready whenever the children in hit pert of the houte were. The gentle man from MatsachutetU tMr. Butler) did not toe til to prepare the castigation thut to he administered, hut be procured it to be administered by reaching hit great arm around the gentleman from Wisconsin [Mr. Eldridge), and through him he pro cured the gentlemen from Indiana iMr. Wilton) to present the amendment. Mr. Butler. Not a word ot truth in it. Mr. Wilton, of Indiana. The gentle man from Massachusetts (Butler) never laid one werd to me on the subject. Mr. Eldridge. And I tay that every word relating to me in that matter it ui true. Mr. Hale If tbo gentleman who gave me the information will allow me I Will name him. Mr. Butler. Pardon; I will give all the information. Mr. Hale. I will hold the floor until I finish my remarkt. I tay that I have tho authority of a gentleman on the floor, whom 1 will name if he permit me, for saying that the emendmont of tho gentle man from Indiana ( Mr. Wilson) came be fore the House at the tuggeetion of the gentleman frjm Wisconsin, and it camt pursuant to the warning which the gentle men from MatsachutetU bed given ma. The selection wat an eminently appropri ate one. The gentleman from Indiana i* the spe cial representative of a class of men to whom the salary law of 1873 was due. There was one claw of those men ef whom the gentleman from Massachusetts (But ler) was the leader, the head and front, who stood by their proposition boldly, fairly and squarely. But there was an other class of whom the gentleman from Indiana (Wilson) is the type, who by their votes, when forced to a direct and square issues, condemned the proposition, and then by their votes, when they could es cape from their responsibility and carry the idea to their constituents that they were opposed to the measure, aided by subterfuge in the passage of the bill. Mr. Hale then referred to several votes taken this session on the salary question, intimating that on some of the votes Mr. Wilson had dodged,by refraining from voting. With such a tecord he was not surprised that the gentleman from India-* na had been selected as the instrument to make that attack upon him. It was not an uncommon thing to find, even among the beasts, those who when defiled them selves were anxious to defile those around them. He had seen a cur emerging from a puddle with its hair draggled with filth, force it* way among decent people and rub itself against theiu or shake iU filth among thein. Mr. Hale had saen that experiment tried, add had seen decent people smirched in the same way ; but he had never known the cur that did it to be anythiny else than a dirty dog, and ha believed that that would be always the saie. Mr. Wilson, of Indiana, having got unanimous consent to reply to Mr. Hale commenced by saying that the House had just had a very fine specimen of a dirty dog. (Applause and hand-clapping, which the Speaker reproved.] Tho record which he had made last session on the sal ary question he had never shrunk from. He had not gone about the country calling thut a salary grab, nor had he, under any circumstances, conceded that he had done anything which he had not a right to do, and which was not consistent with his in tegrity and honor. The dodging which be had baen accused of by the gentleman from New York, he explained by showing that the votee referred to had been taken while he (Wilton) wae in Botton, by order of the Houia, carrying on the Credit Mo bilier investigation. lie defended hit ac tion yesterday in offering the amendment, on the ground that the gentleman from Ney York (Hale) had been running about I the House for several day preacribing clean linen for everybody alio ; as ho did not wish that gentleman ahould wear a dir ty (hirt, he offered the amendment. That gentleman had charged membera of the laat Congress with having enacted tho Sal ary bill by trick, aubterfnge and evaaion, aud he (Wilson) thought he would show that tho gentleman had been doing the aame thing himself in an aggravated de gree. During the time that ho (Hale) hud been drawing a aalary from tho govern ment of SIO,UOO a year he had been also drawing his salary aa a member of Con gress. The law under which he had done it had boon taken from the Speaker's table in the Nat houra of Congreas, and had been pasted without a ainglo word of explana tion. Was that manly ? Waa that hon est ? He thought that when that gontle man was seeking to cast a stigma on his . fellow members it was high time that he ahould cover into the Treasury money thus i taken out of it. , Mr. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, explained 'bla connection with the amendment olftr „ edby Mr. WlUon.

It came will; an ill grace from that gentleman to tligmn i tiaenot only theact, but the motive ef oth far gentlemen. If that gentleman wa* dir , ty, it was not from the gentleman from Indiana, nor the gentleman from Ma> chuelU, nor hi tut elf, that he got the tilth, r but from the hole in which he (Mr llale had choaen to wallow. Mr. Hullar. of MaiiechuielU, regretted , very much thi* unfortunate, unhappy tcene. He wat very aorry that the heat of the debate had to far milled the cool Judgment of the gentleman from New York i Mr. Hale) at to make him aay what ha wat ura he would regret. He had been on term* of quite intimate fWendahip with that gentleman, and knew 'ho valua ble tervicea which he had reriderad to the government at agent and countal. Nor did he think that ten thouiand dollars a year wat too high compentation. He should therefore never have adverted to the fact ofhia having drawn that double pay had not that gentleman the other day characterised the legialetion of the fortieth Congress at unfair, unmanly and dithon cat lie had fully determined, however, to bring the fact* to the gentleman • atten tion, but bia friend from Indiana ( W ileou) got the floor before kiui and took away hi* thunder [Laughter.] They had no right to complain that the gentleman had been receiving SIO,OOO a year a* countel for the geverniuent at the tame time that be wa* receiving S7,ML) a* member ol Congr*u.

Montgomery, Ala, December 17.—The Senate last night unseated Mr. Hatch, Republican Senator f.>r Halo County, who was elected last spring to fill a vacancy. It seems that Hatch was three years ago Postmaster at the county seat of Hale County. Moneys were missed from the mails, and Hatch made affidavits accusing Sanborn, his clerk. Alter Sanborn had been confined in jail several months, the investigation pressed Hatch so close that ho wrote a confession of his own guilt, which was published, and lie agreed with Special Agent Petherbridgo to pay up. Suit was commenced in the United States Court, and Hatch was turneJ out of office. Hatch then ran for the Senate, and was elected by a large majority, but on the above showing the Senate declared him ineligible. A DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRA TION.
