THE DISAGKKEMENT ON THE LEGISLATIVE APPRO- = PRIATION BILL. Mr. Allison reported back from the conference on the legislative bill another disagreement, but sald this was not a general disagreement; that ‘the questions of difference actually related to the salaries of Senate employés; to the matter tn sec- Uon 6, (relating to the transfer of the sul general's records to the adjutant general’s office), and the matter of printing decisions of the Su- preine Court. Mr. Allison said this was the old question of the right of the Senate to control its own employes; that the Hous> insisted upon the right to dictate not onlv the pay of Senate em- ployes but the number. The House insisted upon cutting down the pay of Senate employes , where the latter ts higher,to the figures of the House, but ee to maintain such House salaries as are iigher than the Senate. The House, said Mr. Al- 300, er Year, ie While those of t House committee clerks get more pay than those of the Senate. The aggregate pay of the annual employes of the House amounted to $228.475, while that of the Senate was only ee differ- ence of $41,347 in favor of the Sena Messra. Hoar, Bayard, Morgan and others main- tained the right of the Senate to determine the number of its employes and the value of their ser- vices. Mr. Allison sald the Senate conferees had aj aled to the judgment and fair sense of the House, but he did not believe they could ever agree under the present sense of the House con- fereea.

Noxember, and Instead of making a law to regulate-that the Senate conferees thought 1t better to leave tt to some sort of reference of arbitration. Mr. Allson wanted some expression of optnion from the Sen- ate on thes> questions of difference. ‘Mr. Ingalls had no opinion of the House to ex- press, but if he, as a Senatoror a member of a Senate conference committee, were ‘to undertake tofnterfere in the number’or pay of House em- she would consider himseif ‘as guilty of an uawarrantable and indecent piece of tmperti- nence.

M. Peck was contractor. ‘with other documents relating to the route. A. & POWERS, recently of McKenzie bridge, Oregon, was called to the stand, and testified that he established the Part of the route from Eugene city to Upper Ocheco, and ran it for three years. The witnoss ‘ave the route, the numberof men ‘And animals Tequired "to operate it, etc. It required twelve horses and five men to run it on a schedule of 50 hours, 8 hours a week. He said he used about as many men and horses on an 84 hours schedule as on a 50 hours schedule. When he, searted ny ee A he received 9,500 a year; in the subsequent quarter his pay ‘Was Increased to $10,500, and at the beginning of 1881 it was further Increased to $12,000. On cross-examination Mr. Wilson produced a letter written by the witness to Rerdell, in which he said that the mall could be carried six times a week on a 50 hour schedule with few failures. The letter was presented with a view of showin: that the mail could be carried without failures 1 the sub-contractor had employed sufficient stock. ‘The witness! explanation was tant in winter fre- quent trips over the Toute would keep the trails Open so that the trips would be made with greater expedition. CORRESPONDENCE WITH RERDELL. Mr. Bilas had the witness tdently a number of letters received by him from Rerdell, with whom he sald he corresponded, in relation to the busi- ‘ness Of the route. During the cross-examination of the witness Mr. Wilson questioned the witness with a view of showing that the contractor had borne most of the Rerdell burdens of de luctions from pay. Mr. Bliss said that the prosecution proposed to show that when Rerdell informed the witness that they had no remissions or allowances from the department, they, a5 a matter of fact, had had such remissions, and that they had Teceived a month’s extra pay without informing the sub- contractor. At 12:30 p.m. the usual noon recess was taken. NOTE. Touching the late case before the grand jury we have the best authority for stating that Mr. Mer- rick did not advise the Onding of the proposed in- dictment against Senator Kellogg; that he desired merely to have the testimony that appeared to connect Mr. Kellogg with the frauds submitted to the Attorney General for such action as thatofficer might deem proper: and that he had nothing whatever to do with tue proceedings before the grand jury.
