extra compensation" has attracted atten-
ton at last. The Senate has decided that
thereafter no allowance Of any sum beyond the
regular compensation shall be made to any Off
Ger" of the body; and we hope that members
of the House of Representatives will hear
enough out of doors to induce them to follow
the example. HH
1t were hard task to enumerate the abuses
that have grown up under the fostering care of
a Democratic Congress They are plentiful as
thistles and quite as noxious. What is termed
"extra compensation is one of them, and one
of the most offensive, too. About $4,000
were thrown away in this shape at the close of
the three months session that has just ended.
Thrown away, we say-squandered amongst
employees who have no more title to the bonus
than subordnates in other branches of the Gov
eminent, and in many instances not half SO
much. We see, indeed, no reason why the
gentlemen who thus scatter the public money
amongst public servants who are already well
paid, may not be expected next session to ap-
propriate to themselves $50, 900, SEC, 900, OF
500, 900. The proceeding would be unjusti-
fable, if attempted, but not whit more so
than the practice which provoked the censure
of Senators on Wednesday.
There is rule in all cases of this nature,
and one that cannot be abrogated without in
Jury to public interests and public morality.
The officers and servants of Congress should
receive nothing to which they have not right;
and the only right they can have is that which
gives them fair remuneration for their services
Every cent obtained over and above what 10
thus rightfully earned implies corruption on
the part Of donor or recipient, or of both. 1t is
presumed that the salaries regularly paid by
Congress are an adequate compensation for the
duties discharged; and the crowd of eager ap-
plicants for every vacant Office attest that the
presumption is generally entertained. 1t Is to
be presumed, further, that Congress regards its
salaries as sufficient, and has no disposition to
incur the responsibility of ixedly increasing
them. On what pretence, then, are $50, 900
distributed amongst men for three months ser
vice; the said service having been already suf-
ficiently rewarded, according to the tacit ac-
acknowledgement OF both parties? On what ten
able plea do members vote away public money
to parties who have not earned it, in manner
not warranted by the private practice of the

Increase Of the Navy.

The Nelo York Tribune expresses our
views fully in regard to the proposal of Sec
rotary Dobbin to increase the U. S. Navy
If there is anything We should guard against,
it is standing armies and overgrown nayies.

economics.

tradesmen of this country-prepared, under

didates for aggressive war-the chances of ex-
hausting conflicts! y
"No sooner does some village lawyer get
squatted into one of the useless Secretaryships
at Washington-wh;ch all ought to be abol-
ished-than he swels into little Napoleon,
and cries for men aud money, money and men
The manifesto of the Secretary in question
precisely exemplifies this assertion. Away
with such rubbish and farrago as the Secre-
tary's argument! Let the the people be tru-
~ democratic, and govern themselves, and
not longer surrender themselves to the con

their homes and rights to some purpose

best one, and that was made up altogether Of

The Gunnison Massacre

The st. Louis Republican contains reliable
intelligence in a letter from Salt Lake City,
under date of October 30th Itthus records
the circumstances of this sad tragedy:
Capt. Gunnison's party consisted of some
20 to 30 men, besides military escort I'M
der Captain Morris. They came into Utah
Territory from the east, some 230 miles south
Of Salt Lake City, tasettlement called -Nau-
tt, Oct. 18th 1853. Ae then expected to be
here or rather Utah Lake by the lst of No
vember-Before coming up, Capt. Gunni-
son determined to make survey of the Sc
vier River, about $50 miles south of Salt
Lake City The party accordingly moved
on the Sewer and there cncamped, on the
25th or 26,h of this month. Capt. Gunni,
son took with him Il men and proceeded
on up the Sewer. The morning after leay-
ing the main camp, whilst at breakfast, soon
after daylight, they were fired upon by par
ty of Indians, first with guns and then with
arrows. The party Immediately sprang to their
feet seized their guns, and returned the fire
OF the Indians, but seeing from their number
that to fight them was useless, they endeavor-
ed to reach the horses and escape. But four
Of the party succecded--the rest were muir
dered.
Those that escaped hurried on to Capt
Morris with the dread tidings. Morris with
his command, hurried to the fatal spot, with
the vain hope Of rescuing poor Gannison and
party or at least save any that might have
been wounded; but he was too late He re-
covered the bodies; but life was extinct Capt.
GunniSon had one Of his arms cut off and car
ried away. but not otherwise mutiIated; Mr.
Kern had both of his arms used in like man
ncr; none Of the rest were mutilated. The
killed are Capt. Gunnison, Mr.. r. H. Kern,
Topographer Of the party; Mr.. GrutzfeIdt, the
botanist; Mr.. Fellows or Bellows who was
with Captain Stansbury in 1919, when ma

teresting intelligence we have seen in connec-
tiou with the matter is letter from the Go
vernon of PENNSYLVANIA, in which he expires
ses an ardent sympathy with the rioters and
says they shall have all the al | and comfort
he can possibly extend to them under the laws
We see it suggested that this difficulty has
something more in it than appears on the sur
face. Philadelphia has a road projected to
Erie. If the route to New York can be in-
terrupted as the Erieans are endeavoring, Phi
ladelphia expects to share the trade of the
west. This idea and the means taken to car
ny it out are worthy of Pennsylvania and no
place else. All the trade she gets by such
means would hardly fill the pocket of Phi
ladelphia Quaker. The contempt of the ma
ton Is gradually concentrating on these small
souls, and all they get hereafter will be what
cannot be helped-nothing more. TO show
the state Of feeling towards them, on one train
the passengers unanimousy resolved that they
would not spend one farthng in the borough
OF Erie, and meE, women and children, trudg-
ed over the two miles where the track is torn
up, with their baggage on their backs, rather
than pay the dray and cabmen a cent.
In the mean time the Great Western road
through Canada, is about to be opened, and
its own advantages, together with these diff,
culties, will take a large share of the western
travel over the Michigan Central by that route
to New York.

duty to say with reference to them what We

the Waworth county press has said what il

the staple for the Satanic press of the state il

what we wonld say is briefly this; that Booth

which he was engaged, a farthing more than
he rendered full equivalent for: and in ma
ny instances we know, he has engaged and
pcrseyercd in reforms Of general interest, at an
expense to himself that few men would have
incurred His late efforts III behalf of tho
temperance cause, the mercenary nature OF
which has been so strongly insisted on by hi:

loss to himself, of not less than two hundred
