Early in tho session Ro- publican Sonators began 1’ conversation to moot the ucstion of increasing tho golary of tho President, ne of thera epoka to e on tho subject, and osked mo syhat the Democrats would do if o bill Was fniroduced for_{hat _purposo.

To provent euch dcbato, ond fo carry tho meastira through almost before the country ahould be aware it was pouding, it was necessary to sttach it 18 an amendmont to an appropriation bill toward the tloee of tho ossion, Two things wero to bo gained by Ihat courso: First, no timo would bo given for thy conntry to informed of whot wus intondod ; and, socondly, by means of tho previous fuoetion o the Houss, and tha 0vo mahtes rlo i e feusto, by which uo Senator can spoak on an mendmonf to au Appropriation bill moto tian fve ainutes.
