hnrIan,s speech.

The Grand Mogul Of Negro Equality, SEN
ator Harlan, who is a preacher by profession,
and who should tell the truth stated in bic
speech that the current expenses for the pres
ent year would reach tho "enormous sum Of
100000, 0o0,'' which statement is as false
as his pretensions y religion are Journal.
Two out Of the three proprietors Of the
Journal are preachers of the same denom.
nation with Mr.. Harlan.
Senator Harlan did say just what is charg-
ed in the above paragraph, and be held in his
hand an official document prepared by the
Clerk of the House of Representatives to
prove the fact as stated.
Not having that official statement by us
just now, we givea brief summary Of the APP
preparations as based on that statement in an
editorial of the Baltimore Patriot:

Trin,bie,s Record.

The Locofocos of the State are all in a fe.
yer Of Srtuous indignation these latter day,
against the high salaries and extravagant ex
pendisures Of the present State Administra
ton.
1t may be remembered BY some Of our read
ers that the salaries Of the Supreme and Dis.
trict Judges were fixed by the Legislature du-
ring the session Of 1867. And some Of
our readers may remember that meeting of
distinguished lawyers was held at the Capitol
which memoriaised the Legislature in favor
OF salaries much higher than those finally
agreed upon by the Legislature. The senior
editor being at the Capital took occasion to
inform his readers Of this movement OF dis
snguisbed lawyers, headed by Judge Hall
and Judge Love, two ilustrous leaders Of
the present economy loving Democracy Of
Iowa. We condemned the effort to fx such
high salaries and were denounced for 40 do.
ing in the Democratic organ then published
in Keokuk. We labored against strong in
huences at headquarters, however, in be-
ball OF our views, and the salaries were final
ly reduced as now provided BY statute.
During that session, ii. Ii. Trimble, then
Senator and now candidate for Congress, was
the advocate Of the views Of the memorial
lists on the floor Of the Senate. By reference
to page l94, Senate journal, it will be seen
he voted wira seven other Senators for fixing
/he Salary Of Supreme Judges ut $4,000 90,
and, finally, when in spite of his opposition
the salaries were reduced, be offered the fol-
lowing amendment, for which only two Sem
ators voted with him; "providcd, that said
judges Of the Supreme Court shall receive
Ter the first years salary the sum Of THREE
THOUSAND poLLAgsEAcH." For which amend
meht and vote, see page 2l2, Senate Jour
