SENATORS CLERKS. War in the House Over Thelr ray Now Thought to e at an Ead. Wasninaroy, Dec. 25 —The final accept- ance by the house of the senate amendment to the urgency deficiency bill providing for the payme aiem tof salaries of the senate per for the recess of the Fifty-first congress probably marks the close of a test between the two brauches of congress which dates baci toa time far beyond the empioyment of these clerks for tnis work clerks It began when, in 1553, upon & motion of Scnator Butler, the senate voted to employ private secretaries for ators wno were not chairmen of committees. At that tim neither senators nor heads of committees w mbe who were not permitted to have clerks for their assistance in conducting the routine of their oficial duties, unless they paid them out of their own pocket, and although the need of such assistance had been frequently commented upon in both houses, neither body found itself willng to vote 1tself aid until’ the Forty-eighth con- gress, whon the senate took the initiative, "The house did not follow suit for ten years nor did it accept the innovation in a kind! spirit, and at once bezan a war upon the clerks which has contivued until the present time. The subject has ofte the broceedings 1t the was uniforml been discussed in ouse and that body cept in one session. that of refused to ivclude in the slative bill any appropriations for the cierks of the senators. The senate never failed to amend the bill soas to provide for the pag of cl but the amendment was seldom accepted by the house without vigor ous comment and more or less parleying with the senate. The clerks were only congress was in sessi paid for the ud it was afte time the long session of the Thirty-first congress in 1800, when there were only two months left between the close of session and_the ope; next, that the senaters, tind ing a gre al of accumulated busines on their hands, resolved to retain the services of clerks during the recess. The house ob cted, and the action of the scnate in the matter had the effect of giving a stimulous to the conflict, which the house had shown some disposition to drop by providing f sossion pay in that coucress without waiting for the uction of the scnate.
