Tho torms of office of these gents oxpire on the 4th of March noxt, and tho anxioty to ascortain if their commissions will bo ronowed is astonish~ ing. It may bo gonorally statod, for the beneflt of nll concerned, that the President does nob contemplate any'official changes, olthor high or Iow, excopt in thoso leculnr cases whoro the public service or séntiment sbrolutoly roguire it.

Tho opinion is fast becomin -provalont hore that Oongress has mado & fatal mistako in not taking some docided stand with rogard to the condition of affairs in this unfor- tunate Btate. . ..

It is gonerally concoded that this is tho bost disposition that could ba made of tho matter, 2 TIE BALARY QUESTION, The Houso took anothor turn ot the salary quoe- tlon on Saturday morning. Butler has loarned wisdom from his dofeat, The night boforo ho found a number of membors who would not voto for the 85,000 steal, thought they could consol- entloualy take omiallor gum. Thoy were willing to voto themselves $1,000 or §2,000 apiece as ox- tra pay for tho presont Canfixx'oua, but thore was & point beyond “which they did not dare to % Butler moved to reconsider the vote. g an which _his amondment -was - beaten, Jauaibly arguod that everybody admitted hat thoro ought to bo 'some inoronso in the salarios of mombora, If the House would put his amondment in tho bill, ho said tho Com- mitteo of Conforenco would .fix it up; that 87,600 & yoar waa too high a figuro; ! m- mittee would roduce it. ‘The motion to xocon- slder was carriod, Mr. Burgent proposod to modify the amendmont so a8 to make the pay 80,500, and striko out the provision for tho pay- mont of actual travelling oxpenscs. This wag much tho moat reasonable proposition that had beon made. 'Tho added 81,500 is_a liberal com- mutation for thoe present allowances for mileage, atationery, and newspapors, and for tho Eoltflge on lettors and documonts, which mem- ers will have to pay atter the franking priviloge oxplros, noxt July. - Tho objection {s that the measura in to date back two years. The amounts zaceived for miloage and perquisites bymembors of tho present Houso will be deducted from the $8,000 additional ;ny and tho remainder will amount to about 83,00 for everybody except tho Paoific Const men., They will got little or noth~ ing. Bargent's proposition was agrecd to with- out much opposition, It is probably ss mod- erate an inorease as the House will o eatisfled with. The outgoing mombors ara do- termined to have a grab at the Tronsury, if poa- sible, and if tho Conference Committee don't ro- port anything worse than the Bargent amond- ment, there will be cause for congratulation. Mr. Blaino appointed, a8 a Conferonce commit~ toe, on tho part of the House, Garfield, Butlor, and SRandall. Garfield ropresants the gonoral bill, and Butler the salaries question. - When tho bill reached the Henato, Mr. Edmunds moved to strike out all the salary, amend- monts oxoept . that relating. ‘to the Prepidont. Ho said that ho belioved the Prosideny’s salary onght to be increased, and, as it wonld be illogal to mako such an in- crease during the nnxt%onx years unless it was done now, that part of the amendment ought to be agreed to, o_question [n regard to tho other salarica was difforont. Those conld bo in- creasod at any time, and there should be moro consideration given to the subjeot than was pos- eible at this time. The lcdmunds amendment was dfested by & vote of 20 yeas to 87 nays. Mr. Ldmunds then moved to strike “out of tho amondment all rof- erenco to members of Congress. Mr. Morton supportod this, soying that when sny Increaso was to bo made, he dosired n greator incrense than that proposed. Other. Benators discussed at considerablo length tho cost of living in Washingfon, and when this was exbaustod the motion was defoatod—yeas, 23 ; nays, 80. Mr. Edmunds thon said that inorder to find out what tho Benate really dosired in rogard to this mat- ter, he would move to.concur in tho Houso amendment. Only two Benators—Bayard and Btockton—voted for this. Tho action of tho Honato is considored as an instruction to tho, Conferenco Committea that it ia in favor of in- croasing tho salaries ; that the.$1,600 a yoar ndded to the pay of mombers of Congross is not suflicient. NAVAL BANE, The important quostion which has so_long sgitated navy officors, in ra[;ud to the rolative rank of officors appolnted from the voluntoors and the regular navy, will bo sottled to-morrow bg tho deoision of the Attorney-Genoral. In 1800 o law was pagsed rnorgmlsz tho navy and placing it upon a poaco footing. It was necessa- 1y to rotaln in the sorvice & lnrfin number of tho officors of the voluntoors, and the law provided that & board should convene for tho purpose, of all who presented themselves for com- missions In the rogulars, and to detormine who should be appointed, subjeot to tho decision of the President,and who wererojected in the pro~ motion of rogular officers, Subsequently their commissions wore ante-dated to the timo of the ?““&\B of the law, Homo time intervened bo- ore the voluntoers wero. commissioned in the navy, and their commissions bear the date of their dolivery, To this tho yolunteors objeoted, ¢claiming that their commissions should bo ante~ dated, and the question has over since boen ono of constant circulation belwoen the two classos, Boveral months ngo the quoestion .was roferred Dyi tho Sceratary of tho Navy to the Actorney- onoral for declsion, 'Tho rogulars wore rop- resentod Wilism M., Evarts, and the volunteors by ox-Secrotary Cox, Tho deciglon - will : bo- in favor of the regulars, although the opluion g expronsod by the Attorney-Gonoral that it was irregular to ante-date tho commisaions of the rogulars, but ¢hat it mado no difforence in the rosult. THE OADINET, All the membora of tho Cabinot will tendor resignations to the Prosident on tho 4th inst., in socordance with a custom which has oxisted for many years, There iv the bost of authority for atating that neither Socretary Tish nor any othor member of the Cabinot will retire from the Government, unless Mr, Boutwoll shonld bo electod to tho Benate from Massachusotts, in which oage ho will be succeeded by Judge Rich- ardson, the presont Assistant Secrotary. None of tho rosignations will, therotoro, be acospted. " HEADH OF DEPARTMENTS, 5 The Presldent has not yat decided whether ho will ronominate tho presont heads of dopart- menta,” or whethor he will allow them to con- tinue in offlce, as Mr, Lincoln did, after tho torm for which they were appointed has oxpired.

THE NESDITT CONTRAGT, . Tho Postmastor General denios the tolegraphe ed roport that fllos of his dopartmont show that, Oolfax was nn attornoy orlobbyist of Nesbitt. Ho says . that, finding that the Nes- bitt coutract for stamped envelopes bad been oxtonded by his predecessor without advertising for competition, he referred tho question of its legality to® the Attorney- Goneral, who ‘decided it to bo without sanction of 1aw, nnd that the Dopartmont should termi- nato tho same on reasonablo notico and issuo roposals for a now contract, which was done. To %8s e ntisas; thie. thienlion: Beoua A o thie temporary supply until the now supply of tho now contract should commonco, and it wns to thi tomporary eupply that Colfax urged thet tho heirs of Nesbitt, having the nccessary bulldings, machinery, and materials, and not having forfeited the contract by any malfoasanco, should have the oppor- tunity to work up tho samo until & new contract was lot, or that thoy bo allowed to pro- sont an nrf\lmunt 88 to tho validity of their con- tract as oxtonded. Thoso views ad to tomporary supply soemed so_just and reasonable that they wore adopted by tho Dopartment, and tho heirs of Nosbitt, wore employed to furnish a temporary supply, though at the reduced cost of 15 per cont upon old prices. The extension had been pronounced illegal by the Attornoy-Genoral, and uo argumont upon that point would have availed .agalnst his decisfon, no matter from whom it came. Tho Postmaster-General further snys that ke nover supposed for a moment that Gol- fax dosigned or attempted to influonce him in hisofilcial action in any mannor improper, and that similar auggostions as to the intorest of constituents are frequently made by membors of Congress withont comment, or intimation of thoir improprioty. 'POMEROY'S CASE. . Tt is stated, on what scoms to bo relinble au- thority, that tho Investigating Committee will to-morrow report that the charges against Sena- tor Pomoroy ard not proven. Itis also under- atood that tho delay in the prosentstion of the roport is owing to tho efforts of Pomeroy's friends, which aro etill in progross, to inducothe Committeo to includo in their report some ex- ression of opinion adverse to the validity of ngalle' election, on the ground that it was ef- focted by morely a protended oxposure.
