The next Senate amendment was to strike out "$1,400" and insert "$1,200" as pay of clerk in the office of public buildings and grounds.

Mr. GARFIELD moved that the committee rise, &c.; which was done.

The motion to adjourn was lost; and the motion to take a recess was agreed to.

After the recess came up the ninety-fourth Senate amendment, to add as a new section the following:

SEC. 3. That from and after the first day of January, 1873, the salaries of the Assistant Secretaries, the Solicitor, the Register, and the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, the Assistant Secretary of the Interior, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, the Commissioner of Agriculture, the Commissioner of Customs, the Auditors of the Treasury, the Commissioner of the General Land Office, the Commissioner of Pensions, and the Assistants Postmasters General, the superintendent of the money-order system, and the superintendent of foreign mails of the Post Office Department, shall $4,000 each per annum.

Provided, That $8,500 are hereby appropriated to be expended in the office of the Treasurer of the United States, at the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury.

Which was non-concurred in.

The eighty-seventh Senate amendment was: In the appropriation for United States courts strike out for two retired justices of the Supreme Court, $16,000," and insert "for one retired justice of the Supreme Court, $8,000."

Mr. MERRIAM moved to amend it by adding: And that the salaries of the clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States and the supreme court of the District of Columbia, respectively, shall not exceed the sum of $5,000 per annum; and that the excess of fees collected by them, respectively, above that sum shall be paid into the Treasury of the United States, and that said clerks shall respectively make semiannual returns of the amount of fees received by them to the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States.

The amendment of Mr. BANKS was adopted. Mr. HOOPER moved to further amend the Senate amendment by adding the following:

"That from and after the 1st day of July, 1873, there shall be paid in addition to their present compensation twenty per cent. of the same in addition thereto, as compensation to all officers, clerks, and employees in the several Executive Departments whose annual compensation does not exceed $3,000, and ten per cent. in like manner to officers whose compensation exceeds $3,000 per annum, and which shall be in lieu of all other compensation."

Mr. B. F. BUTLER moved that the rules be suspended, and that the bill, with amendments The 94th Senate amendment, with the amend- adopted in Committee of the Whole on the State ments thereto, was then concurred in.

Mr. GARFIELD asked the committee to return to the first Senate amendment.

Mr. L. MYERS asked unanimous consent to offer the following amendment:

That the inspectors of customs at the ports of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Portland shall, in lieu of their present compensation, hereafter be paid the sum of five dollars per diem; and the night inspectors of customs at said ports shall, in lieu of their present compensation, hereafter be paid the sum of four dollars per diem; and the salaries of the several appraisers, assistant appraisers, and examiners of customs whose salaries do not now, as fixed by law, exceed $2,500, shall hereafter be increased twenty per cent. of their present annual compensation.

Mr. E. HALE raised the point of order that this was an independent proposition.

The Chairman (Mr. DawES) sustained the point; and the committee returned to the first Senate amendment.

Mr. GARFIELD stated that with reference to the various amendments which had been referred to the Committee on Appropriations touching the employees of the House, that committee had instructed him to report, as the result of its investigation thereof, a substitute, as follows:

That the salaries of the employees in the department of Doorkeeper and Post Office of the House and elsewhere about the House be increased in the same ratio and for the same period as those in the Clerk's desk whose salaries are raised by this act.

Which was agreed to.

The Chairman (Mr. DAWES) stated that the question was now on concurring in the first amendment of the Senate as amended by the various amendments adopted in Committee of the Whole.

Mr. B. F. BUTLER and others objected to this statement of the question, and Mr. TYNER declared that while he (Mr. T.) was temporarily occupying the chair, he (Mr. T.) had put the question to the committee as to this first Senate amendment: " Will the committee concur in the amendment of the gentleman from Massachusetts to the amendment of the Senate with an amendment?" and that in that form it was passed

upon.

The Chairman (Mr. DAWES) accepted this statement of fact from Mr. TYNER, but could not understand why unanimous consent was afterwards obtained to pass over this amendment. He ruled that it was not necessary for the committee to vote upon the Senate amendment as perfected.

Mr. STEVENSON raised a point of order that members could not vote upon these amendments, because pecuniarily interested.

The SPEAKER Overruled the point of order for several reasons, and stated one, viz: that the whole line of precedents was against the point of order.

Mr. HOLMAN moved that the House now adjourn. Disagreed to.

On suspending the rules there were-yeas 69, nays 62: so the house refused.

The previous question was seconded, and the main question ordered.

Mr. UPSON asked a separate vote upon the first amendment acted upon in Committee of the Whole, in relation to salaries.

Mr. HOLMAN asked a separate vote on the last amendment.

The first Senate amendment, viz., in line 19 of the printed bill and amendments to strike out the word "and," and to insert the words "thirtysix hundred dollars," was then read by the clerk, and also the amendment to this amendment which was adopted by the Committee of the Whole, as follows. Add to the Senate amendment:

D. 1873, the President of the United States shall receive for his services during the term for which he shall have been elected the sum of $50,000 per annum in full for his services, to be paid quarterly at the Treasury; the Vice President of the United States shall also receive for his services during the term for which he shall have been elected the sum of $10,000 per annum in full for his services, to be paid quarterly at the Treasury; and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States shall receive the sum of $10,500 per annum, and the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States shall receive the sum of $10,000 per annum each, to be paid quarterly at the Treasury; the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of the Interior, the Attorney General, and the Postmaster General shall receive $10,000 per annum each for their services; and each Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, State, and Interior Departments shall receive as annual compensation, to be paid quarterly, $6,500; and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall receive compensation at the rate of $10,000 per annum, and Senators and Representatives in Congress, and Delegates from the Territories admitted to a seat in Congress, including Senators, Representatives, and Delegates in the Forty-Second Congress, shall receive compensation at the rate of $7,500 per annum each; and in lieu of mileage there shall be al

Mr. B. F. BUTLER moved to reconsider the vote just taken, and pending that motion he moved that the House adjourn.

Mr. SARGENT raised the point of order that under a former ruling a member who votes with the prevailing side merely for the purpose of moving to reconsider will not be recognized for that purpose.

The SPEAKER stated that that ruling was where the right to hold the floor for discussion was involved, and overruled the point.

Mr. Cox moved to lay upon the table the motion to reconsider; which was declared out of order.

The House then (at 11.25 p. m.) decided to adjourn—yeas 114, nays 61:

March 1-The legislative appropriation bill being before the House,

Mr. B. F. BUTLER made an explanation of the status of the bill, and said that to get the question of salaries before the two houses, it was necessary for the House to adopt some proposition. He said he was indifferent whether it was fixed at $7,500, $6,500, or $6,000.

Mr. SARGENT suggested that "he make it $6,500, and cut off all mileage and allowances.'

Mr. B. F. BUTLER proposed, by unanimous consent or by a suspension of the rules, to fix the salary at $6,500.

Mr. BEATTY objected.

The SPEAKER thought that the rules could not be suspended, nor was there unanimous consent.

Mr. B. F. BUTLER moved to reconsider the vote by which the main question was ordered, and called the previous question upon that motion. Mr. PERCE demanded the regular order. Upon motion of Mr. FARNSWORTH, to lay upon the table the motion of Mr. B. F.
