Rp An investigation into the affairs of
the Chicago Post-Office is being made by an
agent of the Post Office Department, which
creates good deal of excitement in Chi
cago. Cook, the present Post Master, is
an inveterate enemy of Judge Douglas, and
was appointed by Buchanan, and confirmed
by the Senate in spite of Douglas protests,
who pronounced him n villain and man
unworthy of trust. He was constituted the
chief of the Administration "Janissaries"
in Northern Illinois. Mr.. Buchanan has
evinced, it is said, disposition to serene
him, but Post Master-General Holt is re-
solved to sift the charges to the bottom. 1t
is intimated that the clerks in the employ
ment of Mr.. Cook are making revelations
which will render his removal certain
Among other things, it appears that a tax
was levied upon all the employees to raise
a fund for the support of the Chicago Her
aid Cooks paper)--but this is justified on
the ground that the same thing is done in
Washington for the support of the official
+" organ the Constellation. Whether Post
master-General Holt will consider this an
available plea, or not, remains to be seen,
but his prompt action in the case of Mr..
Wescott, Postmaster at Philadelphia, would
rather argue that such plea would not
benefit the Chicago correspondent much.

of its hypocritical devotions, as tits nauseat-

ago, it opposed, with all the efforts in its
power, the election of the present Mayor,
and stroye to defeat him with candidate
whom it represented to be a better man
who had been proven to be shameless pub
lie peculator. When its favorite was de-
feated, it charged that the triumph Of his
opponent had been accomplished by a
shameful political trick. In few weeks,
by the talismanic power of a small job, il
was converted into an oflicioos and indis-
criminate panygerist and defender Of those
whose elevation it had denounced. 1t is
like a creeping parasite that attaches itself
to anything that will give it support.

na- The following is the report of the

w ue IOlOWiu5 10 eno iSPoAs Va euo
Firance Committee upon the subject of rails
ing the Mayors salary. We have been
falsely represented as being opposed to the
increase of the Mayors compensation; we
have desired that he might receive all the
pay his popularity would sustain. We adj
vocated his election, and would preserve his
personal and official influence for the citys
good. His enemies regret that he has not
been given salary twice the sum allotted
to him, for on such measure they could,
another year, defeat the Council that grant
ed it, and put in one that would reduce his
conversation to sum that would force him
to resign, and, thereby, get rid of him alto
geter, and destroy the party that elected
him. Was the proposition to give him ST.
500 the dictate of political friendship
To the Honorable Common Council of the
City of Eransvilie. n. g. s.r.- 80
Your committee to whom was referred
the question of the Mayors salary beg leave
to report that they have given the subject
that consideration which they beliye its i'm
portance demands, that the former Council
after having referred the question OF salaries
to committee, at the suggestion of that COM
mittee failed to fix those salaries, for the then
well understood reason that the compensa-
ton of officers should depend somewhat on
the capacity and efficiency ofoffcers selected,
and that committee remarking at the time
that a mayor might be elected who would
be very dear at $500, whereas another per-
son if elected would be cheap at double that
sum. The capacity and effiency of the pres
ent mayor is admitted by all, and his ad-
ministration thus far has greatly decreased
the expenses OF the city. Under his admin
iStration the prosecutions oflOffenders against
the city ordinances instead of being q con-
slant tax upon the Treasury had become a
source of revenue as his monthly report will
| show. The only question then is, should an
efficient and industrious officer be paid fair
compensation for his services, and we do not
hesitate in answering the question in the
affirmative. Retrenchment has been the
order of the day since the Inauguration OF
the present council; but we do not under
stand that retrenchment means that officers,
agents or laborers whose services cannot be
dispensed with, should be required or ex-
pected to serve the city for less than reason-
able compensation for the service rendered.
If the city finances were in better condi-
ton we would be disposed to report in favor
of allowing the mayor more than the sum
we are about to recommend. Under all the
circumstances, We report tne following re-
solution and recommend its adoption by the
| Council. -t cofH go. t..fl
Resolced, That the salary of the Mayor
of the city for the current year be one
thousand dollars. fatE ttFfft ,fri1 =

The DANGERS OF LYNCH LAw.--The peo-
pie Of Napoleon, Arkansas, becoming ex-
cited over the unexplained absence of one
of their citizens, were led to believe foul
murder had been perpetrated; their suspi:
cions fell upon a notorious gambler, whose
premises were searched, and spots of blood
were found upon the floor. He was imme-
diately committed to prison; n vigilance
committee was organized, who ordered all
gamblers to leave the place. The fury
of the people ran so high against the sus-
pected murderer, that preparations were
making, at the last accounts, to lynch the
poor victim of public suspicion. The pas
sengers on the steamer that brought an ac-
count of these proceedings to Memphis,
found that the supposed murdered man had
been in Memphis the day previous, and had
been luxuriating at the elegant eGuyoso
House, while his friends at home were
taking such violent means to avengc his
death. TF~1s-FrE = re gaUFlI--

D65-At Mishawaka, in st. Joseph county,
in this State, a most diabolical attempt was
made TO assassinate a citizen, on Wednes-
day of last week. A man named Rupel, re-
turning from California to his wife, after n
long absence, found that she had been un-
faithful to him, and he sued her paramour,
Harris for damages. He got Judgment
for $4,000, and fastened it on all the defend
ants property. His wife went off to live
with brother-in-law of Harris, named
Wheeler, and Harris followed her there
Bitter blood, of course followed these pro-
ceedings, and suggested the act We refer to-.
While Ripple was at work in his field, on
Wednesday, son of Wheeler-Harris
nephew-cape to him and said his RUPEES
wife wanted to have an interview with him,
and appointed q sequestered spot for the
meeting, where nobody was likely to come.
Ripple went TO the place, and was there shot
through the body by young Wheeler, as it
was supposed, who hid himself there, and
decoyed Ripple there for that purpose. Luck
lily, the shot passed partly around the body,
or it would have been fatal. As it was, the
wounded man is in great peril OF his life
He has made statement before the proper
authorities of what he knows of the affair,
and the young man, Wheeler, has been ar
rested, and lodged in South Bend Jail for his
own safety, the people OF Mishawaka mani
testing some little desire to lynch him.

Governor Wise Defining his Position.
The New York San says it has been favor
ed with the proof sheets of six column
letter from Governor Wise, of Virginia in
reply to certain questions addressed to him
by number of his fellow-ctizens of the
Old Dominion, who flatteringlyiallude to his
position as candidate for the Presidency.
The three main questions upon which Mr.
Wise spreads himself are the portion due to
naturalized citizens returning to the coun-
try of their birth; the re-opening of the
slave trade, and the enactment by Congress
of slave code for the territories.
- In the first place, MIR. Wise goes in for the
fullest protection 10 naturaIized citizens. In
the second place he declares himself oppos-
ed to the re-opening of the slave trade,
which he considers offensive to large ma
jority of shareholders, and of the people OF
| the South. In the third place, he does not
consider the enactment of slave code y
for the Territories judicious or necessary,
but he holds that the STAKEHOLDER going in
to Territory Of the United States, with
his slave property is entitled, under the
Constitution to be protected in the possession
and use of that property. He would not
permit the people OF Territory, previous
to their assuming the responsibilities ofState
Government to exclude slave property by
unfriendly legislation. Such are the three
planks of the Governors platform, and b,
may be considered as fairly on the road fol
the Presidential prize.

nen The party regents at Indianapol

neA. The party regents at indianapolis
have a new way of hushing up the discus
sion of any subject that is disagreeable to
them. II is by ignoring it at the Capital,
and preserving mystic silence, or treating
it as if it were foreign topic which IN no
wise concerned them or the State. The
county papers in the rural and remote dis
tricts-especially the small party organs on
both sides--are in thraldom to their central
organs, and wait to get their cue from their
monitors at the Capital. Ifthe oracle within
the temples there give no responses, the sat
elites throughout the State are dumb, and
all discussion ceases; for talking to an ap-
parently deaf and dumb man, is useless
"beating of the air." In this way the
Democratic Regency has permitted the re-
bellion against the usurpations of the Cen
trail Committee in appointing the State Con-
vention to die out from inanition. In like
manner are they attempting to smother the
Convention question. The Madison Courier
says "tEis question illustrates the thraldom
of the county press of Indiana. 1t is gov
erned and managed by the press at Indian
apolis to dangerous extent. The press at
the State capital has been silent-has not
sided for or against the proposed conven-
ton The Nav Albany Ledger and the
Evansville Enquirer have printed arti-
cles against the convention, which have
fallen dull and cold upon their co-laborers
in their party. The central organ has not
given the cue to the county press, and of
course there can be no discussion, pro OF
