Extra Mileage.

e When Mr. Greeley, the editor Of the New York
Tribune, was in Congress- he used his exertions TO
put stop to the prevailing practoce OF punderlng
the public treasury in the shape at extra mileage,
and for this he incurred the displeasure of large
number of members, who resorted to ridicule and
eyery other means to defer him from his purpose,
that they might continue their profitable specula-
tons upon the public purse.
But notwithstanding the bluffs and ridicule ne
met with Mr. Greeley had the consolation OF wit
Messing, what every faithful public servant will
or later witness that his course was approved
by a majority of the people throughout the coun-
try. y... ua. 9a rs o-o ,r
Subsequently, in his Almanac for 1850, Mr..
Greeley published table of the mileage Of the
members, from which it appeared that all, with
two or three exceptions, received extra mileage,
taking the Post Office books as the gnide-amount-
ing in the whole, we think to about 1000 extra,
illegally drawn from the Treasury Mr. Greeley
most certainly deserves the thanks of the cummu-
nity for these exposures. If members are not sat
isfied with 40 cents per mile travelling fees each
way, when they can ride on almost any Rail Road
for two cents, why, let them stay at home
The Whig Almanac for 1851, also contains some
| curious disclosures From table therein. OF the
mileage received by members of the present Con-
gress, it appears that some of the Ohio members
receive paw for 500 miles more than others. In
this State, Jas. Thompson received pay for 70t
miles. while no other member fwith the exception
of Wilmot1 was allowed for over All miles, and
but two others, over 300 miles! David Wilmot
Ithe proviso mani resides in Towanda, while it ap
pears by the Post Office books, is 240 miles from
I Washinton, and yet he drew pay for fire hundred
and tioenty miles.
We need radical refolm in this matter. Such
robbery and inequality ought not to be tolerated

A FAST FUNERAL-A RACE TO THE GRAVE
On Saturday last, two funeral professions OF
unusual length, on their way to the cemetery in
Cambridge, Mass, the drivers of the hearses en-
deavored 10 see tohich should reach the gale OF
The cemetery first. BY great application of the
whip, sample Of fast driving developed itself
but the race was of short duration. The coffin
in one of the hearses was thrown out on the
ground, and before the cortege following could
draw up, it was run over by three or four hacks,
and seriously mutilated.

Well, this caps the climax. We always
though, tina, the majority ruling was IN evi.

But it seems ,bs, Maj. Caldwell is tired Of
the majority ruling and therefore he will
