SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE. GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER Te Advertisers.—Our advertising patrons are Teq@ested to send im their favors before 2 O'clock M. as advertisements received ter cannot be insured an itisertion in ‘Tee Stam of the same day, on account of the pressure of news matter after that hour Wub every disp om to accommodate, we | find ourselves obliced to lay down this rule adhere to it Pe Cxst_*—It seems almost a waste of | fume to say or write anything more on this subject. The question has been so fully dis- Usted, the facts are so patent, the relief asked ® moderate, that it is difficult to account for the hostility exhibited by the majority of the House towards any measure proposed for the Teltef of the clerks. The whole matter was stated in 4 nutsbeil by Mr. Poland in offering | bis amendment yesterday. “That the salaries | the clerks were now the same as they nao been before the war, and for many yenrs before | that. and they were either insufficient now or | cise bad been very much too large whea they were established.” It has never been alleged that the salaries were ever at any ume exces- sive. Even if the scale was many years ago liberal. thatjcharacteristic bas long since appeared Gur object now is not te discuss the question On its merits. Itis bur just to the clerks, "ver, to suggest one single fact to which sut- ticvemt prominence has not been given, which s. that, strictly speaking, any so-called per | centage which may be voted the clerks is not, sm ANY sense of the word, “extra” compensa- son, but is simply making up. in part, the de. | iemcy resulting {rom the payment of their nominal salaries in currency instead of gold. Every other business, profession, trade or oc- cupation in the whole length and breadth of the Iand has bad the detierency resulting from | the depreciation of the currency made up to it by @ corresponding increase in wages, fers, Profits of trade,ete. The clerks alone, while As coueumers they are compelled to belp all the otber classes im thus “getting even.” nave themsrlves no possible chance, except through the fair dealing which they expected from ‘Congress—a bope which has buoyed them up patiently for so long One other sugge-tiom: Mr. Poland desired to ive the clerks the beneft of a fair and square expression of the sense of the House.

Itseems to be generally «on ed that the Portiolie of one of the Depariments will go to & extazew of New York. and the President elect bas himself stated in so many words that 4 Pennsylvanian is to be honored in a similar degree.

Another Point not to be overlooked in @ calculation of Probabilities of this character is the fact that the Kepublican party im the two States tirs: paMmed i divided aguinet itself, and that the se- lection cf 8 Cabinet officer from esther ot then eam hardly fail to provoke the hostility of one inetion or the other; while in the case of Onto it may be said no <ueb obstacle exists Of corse, wedo mot undertake to say tha: the Buckeye State is certaim to be represented im the Cabinet: but it seems to us, in view of the general principles suggested above. and which usually govern in such cases, aud rews- Osing also from premises every where admitted to be sound, that those who count Uhio out in beir fifth of March programme have not good round for the:r action. While the anxious politicians apd journalists are Bunning out a Cabinet for General Grant, i: Will De quite as interesting to the masses to jJearn bis views as to the meaus of taking care of what are called the finances of the natior.

There is a | meaning in his sententious declarations that | indicate @ vigorous policy to aid tion, and make the increased developnient ef our | Tesources the means to meet increased public burdens. Instead of despairing over the mag- | nitude of the public debt, or prophecying repu- Gintion, he plainly intends to be master of the | sttustion. In thts he will have the people ot alt parties with bim. No man ever came into | Executive power uuder such financial ditli- | eulues and emergvncies as does General Grant. | ‘His determination to stand by the indastrics of | the country, and to bring the Government into confidence and affiliation with the imdastria! | TSers, 15 & policy as wise as it is just, It wut smsure the'success of his administration—ceed We say the gratitude of the people? i: What times these are for the seavterment of the romances of Listory' But a few days ago ‘we had & most touching and tragic tale about 4 Senorita Aldams, daughter of a weil-known | Aubisp, wDo while singing 9 patriotic cong and | ‘waving & Gag from ber father’s box in a Ha. | { theatre, was shot dead by a blood-thirsty | Spaniard, who im torn bad bis head instantly | ‘shot of by a brave American who happened to | be standing near the Senorita when the Span- sh bullet pierced Ber heart.
