THE PLuYpERER,s HARVEST.

There is method in the madness wherewith
Congress neglects its duties and wastes
seven.eightbs Of each Session in system
atically doing nothing. The end of this
course, which the engineers Of robbery in aud
about Congress have in view from the start, is
TO crowd through all sorts Of jobs and swindles
at last in rush which admits Of no discussion
and screens the operators from all practical
responsibility There were millions of dollars
voted out of the Treasury last week for the
advantage and profit of ofice-hOlders and
iobbers, and TO the deplorable damage and
wrong of the people Let us look at some OF
the items:
A. Raising Salaries.-The salaries of the
vice-Presdent and seven Members OF the
Cabinet have been raised from $4,000, (Attor-
ney. General,) 5000, (yice-Presidept,) and
$4,000, Cabinet officers except Attorney
General TO $4,000 each, while the four
missions 10 Great Britain, France, Russia, and
Spain. have been raised from $4,000 tO
$4,000 each per annum. These items
add S6S,0G0 per annum 20 the public
burtheps, which tne new offices created,
Mission to Central America, Assistant Secre.
tary Of State, &c.) will raise 20 800, 900.
Now we viii not here contend that all these
additions are unnecessary, though that is our
opinion We call attention TO their gross in
Justice even admitting that salaries were to be
raised. and the utterly indefensible manner ia
which the end is attained. The Attorney Gen
srl is placed by his office ar the head Of the
Bar Of the Nation. and is permitted 10 under
take and manage private causes just as if he
were not in office he can usually make more
money beside his salary than he could earn il
he were hot in Office His station does net de-
volye on him any liberal exercise OF hospitality,
as that of Premier does. A salary Of $1,000
year for the Attorney General makes bis a
more lucrative post than that of Secretary OF
State would be with $4,000. Yet the form
ers salary is raised from $4,000 and that OF
Secretarys from 5000 to 5000 each per
snnum, grossly aggrayating the inequality al
ready existing
But consider the other point. Thousands OF
dollars per annum are added 20 this and that
salary, not in bill for that object-not upon
due inquiry and report by Committee-not
even upon application of the incumbents for
more pay Somebody jumps up in one House
or another while IN Committee and moves that

TILE REFORM MRKTING.

The City Reform Meeting, on Saturday
night, was very large, very earnest, aud very
promising The people are thoroughly reused,
and unless some untOward event occurs TO
turn the current of opinion, we may count
upon radical and effective Reform. The
meeting was for the Future, not for the Past
there were more plans than denunclatiOns,
more hopes than regrets. The speakers very
properly left the Common Council to the
Courts who have them now in charge, and con-
fined their remarks mainly to the consideration
of the best means of escape from our present
condition. Upon the announcement Of the
name Of the Foreman Of the late Grand Jury,
there was a response that most enphat-
ically expressed the peoples apprsba-
ton of the action of that body; but the
question Of sustaining the Courts was in no
other manner alluded to. The composition of
the meeting was gratifying. 1t was not a
gathering Of two or three peculiar interests
not especially mercantile, OF manufacturing,
or laborinp but blending of all professions
and pursuits, showing that no part of the peO-
pie are Indifferent to the subject Of Municipal
Reform The principal result of ehe meeting
was the appointment of committee OF
prominent citizens to go to Albany and
procure, if possible, the passage of an act
50 amending the Charter that Municipal
Elections shall be held in the spring
that the Board Of Assistant Aldermen shall be
abolished and popular body of a much larger
number be elected in their stead, perhaps one
member from each Election District;) the
complete removal of the Aldermen from judi
cia functions; the establishment of the veto
power in the Mayor as it exists in the Presi-
/ dent that heads Of Departments shall exer-
/ cise no powers not delegated by law that no
money shall be expended or debt contracted
except as authOrizedby previous specific laws;
and that the statutes should be so amended as
to make members Of City Governments indict-
able in Courts of law for malleasancc in office.
The meeting also emphatcally denounced the
present system of Primary Elections, and ia
vored stump nominations Altogether, there
was manifested an earnest determination TO
do something efIectual, and that speedily.
