PAY OF CoNGREssMEN-The New York Tribune
thinks that Congress get too much of the peoples
money, and threatens to lay before the country an
exact computation of the depth to which each one
thrusts his fingers into the Treasury under pretence
of drawing pay for public service. Says the Tribune
When the last Congress increased the pay of mem
bers from IS per day while in actual service to So 600
per annum, we were privately assured that, among
the beneleent results OF this change would be re-
ducton of the present exorbtant mileage from forty
cents for every mile travelled to a reasonable and
proper rate. We have as yet observed no movement
toward the fulhllment of that assurance We were
further assured that the crooked and crcumgyratory
routes by which members computed their mileage
should be straightened by law. We do not see that
this promise, either, is on the eve of fulfllment
We give seasonable notice that we propose to pub
lish, so soon as we conveniently may, table show
ing the distance for which every member, respect.
lively, OF the present Congress receives mileage. Let
it not be said that such publication aimed at Sena-
tor A. or the Hon. Mr.. B., since we do not know
what amount of mileage is received by any one, and
shall not know until we shall have received the sche-
dule for publication.

SPIRITUAL MEETIsG.-Last evening, private ex-
hbiton Of spiritual phenomena, by Mrs. Ada Coan,
to which the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Coun-
Gill; members of the Legislature, Mayor and various
other State and Municipal dignitaries were invited,
given at the Meodeon TO furnish an opportunity
to investigate the matter, and F" try the spirts.h
Many Of those invited were present, so that large
and select audience was assembled. Mrs Coan first
made some remarks in prepossessng manner, intro
ducing the subject, and ended requesting the appoint
ment Of committee to scrutnize the proceedings
and detect if possible any deception. Messrs Usher
and Branning of the Senate, and Walker of the
House, were accordingly appointed. As test the
committee wrote a number Of names on slips Of
paper while Mrs. @. absent from the room,
closely folding them. She was then able to give,
through the nps, the name correctly in each paper,
without unfolding it, and the raps would then desig
nate correctly the age Of the person alluded to, the
place OF death, disease, etc. After the committee
had completed their investigation, an opportunity
was given to the audience to convince themselves
aud many availed themselves of the opportunity.
The answers were, we believe, in all cases regarded
correct at least not positively erroneous. The
committee reported that they had been able to dis
cover deception, and think it the universal
opinion that great candor and fairness was exhibited
though some OF the performances seemed incredible
to those who had never witnessed such phenomena.

AN INTERESTING RELIc.--Mr John Buhler, Of our
parish, has in his possession magnificent gold
watch, which was presented to Capt. Rodgers OF the
steamship Savannah-the first steamship that ever
crossed the Atlantic sometime about the year 1924
Alter the Savannah reached Liverpool, she took
trip up the Baltic, visiting Copenhagen, Stockholm,
st. Petersburg, and afterwards made voyage up the
Mediterranean. While at st. Petersburg the Russian
Emperor (Alexander, we believe) and suite paid the
steamer visit, and so highly pleased with her
courageous Captain, that he presented him with the
magnificent gold watch in question. After the death
of Capt. Rodgers, this watch was sold with his ef-
fects, and purchased by r. Colt OF Philadelphia.
DR.. c. dying some years afterwards his widow mar
ried Mr. Buhler who regards this relic as one OF no
ordinary interest. The watch worn for several
years by the of DR.. Colt and had it upon bis per-
son when unfortunately drowned some months since,
but so strong and excellent was the Workmanship
that the water had but little effect upon it, Is is
about three times the size OF ordinary watches,
huge massy and heavy, and is. wthal, an excellent
time keeper. So highly does Mr.. Buher prize the
watch that money could not induce him to part
with it. IWest Baton Bouge Sugar Planter, 27th.

FAMILY INFLUENCE IN WAsHINGTos-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says
1t is curious to notice how family influence con-
trolls things in Washington. Some sillful commenta-
tor could make up most taking brocnre this SUBJ
ject If he chose to do so. The old families are
adopts at this business. They the nobility of the
capital. They seem to think everything belongs to
them and that they grow only to put them into
place, or to train daughters only to match them to
fortunes or to bureaus There a number Of fami-
lies who have five and six in office. The army, the
navy, the marine corps. the civil service, home and
foreign honored by the scions Of the first families
All kinds OF destinations resorted to to accomplish
these results. The labors OF dozen senator's the
laurels won in dozen party campaigns, even the
learning and experience of life. nothing in COM
parson to the system adopted by those veterans in
Washington society. Not, indeed that there is any
thing morally wrong in their maneuvers. I do not
charge it. But it is thing of almost daily occnr-
renee to find a young fellow, without brains, but
ahundanty sku in the arts and gTaces of the saloon
and opera house, and fat in the more dangerous
mysteries OF the higher circles seated In official
snuggery, where he remain long as be pleases,
making his duties the incidental and his moustachios
the main business of his life.

from Matanzas for Savannah, had been fred into by
British vessel The Savannah Republican Of the 27th
gives the following account Of the occurrence:
On Sunday last the schooner n B. Borden, Capt.
j. N. Brightman, left Matanzas for Savannah with
cargo OF moasses and fruit She had left port about
four hours, and was in sight of Pan Matanzas when
the British steam-soop of-war Styx bore down upon
her and fired blink cartridge, at which she run up
her ensign and continued her course The sloop then
fired shot, which fell short distance in the rear of
the Borden. The Captain of the B., thinking the
matter more serious than he had at first supposs d.
tackled ship, and made for the sloop, to know what
the matter. The sloop lowered her boat and sent
an officer in it, who told Capt Brightman that they
had suspected he was a slaver, and were coming on
board to satisfy themselves capt B. suggested to
the officers from the Syx that slavers did not usually
load al deep as he then was, nor were they in the
habit OF carrying deck loads Of molasses. short
examination satisfied her Majesty officer that be had
