ROBBING THE PEOPLE, AND PUT
TING THE MONEY IN THEIR OWN
POCKETS.

During the last hours Of the session, says
the Albany, n. Y, Argus, the members Of
Congress voted TO double their salaries, and
to date the increase back to March 4, 1865
They agreed to work for the people at a
stipulated price. They have done nothing
ont vote away money from the treasury,
and double up their own pay When the
matter was introduced into the Senate the
motion was that each Senator, Representa-
tive and Delegate in Congress shall have
5000 a year, the mileage to remain at forty
cents a mile, and the advanced compensa-
ton 10 take effect from the beginning of the
thirty-ninth Congress. Mr.. HENDERSON, Of
Missouri, made an effort to have the mileage
reduced from forty cents per mile to twenty
cents, with stipulation that members
should reckon their mileage by the shortest
rather than the longest routes between their
homes and Washington. The Senators,
however, were not in favor Of setting a
practical example in the work Of retrench-
ment, and so concluded that they could not
afford 20 travel to and from their homes at
less than forty cents per mile. This advance
of $1,000 a year upon she salaries Of all The
members, viii, with thirty-six States repre-
scented. require an addition Of about $780,
600 10 the present annual payments.

Increase Of the CbOIera--An Epidemic
Observation-Disclosures of Head Cen
ter stephens to the Fenians--ArriVaI
of HamiII, the Defeated ScuIIer.
New York, July 31.-It is stated that
the cholera is assuming an epidemic form
in this city, to an alarming extent. A meet
ing of the Health Board is to be held this
evening, and extraordinary measures will
be proposed for improving the sanitary con-
dition of the city. In consequence of the
neglect Of physicians to report cholera cases,
orders have been issued insisting upon their
so doing. The number of deaths in the city
for the past week was III, being a decrease
of 593 from the previous week. Sixteen
persons died of cholera at the workhouse on
BlackwelPs Island, from the 9th to the
29th of July. There were Is cases and
deaths officially reported yesterday. A COM
parative table of three years of the cholera
epidemic, shows a smaller number of deaths
yesterday than on the same day in l849 and
1854
At the Battery Barracks Hospital matters
appeared rather favorable. An injunction
will be applied for to compel its removal.
In Brooklyn the number of deaths for the
week was 304. The cholera has not increased,
but no decrease is observable. There were
4S2 deaths from Cholera during the past
week. The official reports of yesterday
show ten new cases and four deaths. OF
these six cases were in the county peniten-
tiary.
The official list show two new cases at
Governors Island. The epidemic appears
to be a mystery, as the strictest sanitary
precautions had always been observed. At
present extra vigilance is exercised, men
being fed with wholesome rations and the
barracks being kept in a thorough state of
cleanliness. At HATS Island the epidemic
remains about the same as at last report.
Head Center Stephens has addressed
circular to the Fenian Brotherhood, in which
he saws the Fenians in this country are Of
right subordinate TO the organization III Ire
land, and that they will do mischief instead
Of good unless they work solely together in
aid of the organization in ireland. Here
iterates the statement that fighting for free
dom on Irish soil viii come of this very
year. He has ordered a circulor to the
Brotherhood in New jersey, Brooklyn, Viii
liamsburg and this city, TO meet him in con-
sultation on the 9th Of August.
HANnLL, the champion of American soul
lers, who was recently defeated in England
in a sculling match against KELLY, arrived
in this city yesterday, and was warmly re-
ceived by his friends.

FORv THE LOYAL LEAGUE.


The Washington Chronicle, speaking Of the
removal Of Judge EDMUEDs hole the Office
Of General Land Commissioners, SAYS:
Judge EDMUNDs is the President of the
National Union League, an association
which did so much to rally the people 70
the support Of the war and the election of
LINooLN and JOHNSON, and he has recently
been actively engaged in the organization Of
Leagues in Tennessee, as a means of sus-
tanning and strengthening the Unionists
against the Presidents new friends the
rebels.
These being the facts, the decapitation was
= most righteous act, and viii meet with
popular approval. This loyal league" af-
fair is nothing more than a Radical "ring"
Of ofice-holders and ofice-seekers. During
the war il did no good thing, but on the
contrary, shielded an immense amount of
rascality, and promoted largely the business
Of peculation in contracts. The President
has taken off tle head, and we hope he will
scar it with hot iron, and exterminate the
monster entirely.
Daily union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1865-1866, 1866-08-01

gislatpre So long as such men rule, there is
no prospect for Tennessee to make any real
progress. If the men of the State should
fail to hurl the miserable usurpers from the
seats they now deseerate, We have boys
enough, who viii come to manhood in the
next four years, to consign the vindictive
tyrants to everlasting retirement.

THE National HRtelligencer says: At mid
night the House of Representatives was STILL
with great gravity, wasting the last few,
precious hours of the session in debating
the joint resolution from the Senate for the
admission of Judge PATTERSON to a seat in
the Senate as a Senator from Tennessee.
With the plain provision of the Constitution,
that each House shall Judge for itself of the
election, returns, and qualifications of its
own members, before the eyes of every men,
Der Of the House, at this late hour of the
session, and to the hindrance of important
business, the House gravely listened for
hours to the vapid harangue of Mr.. MAY
EARD, the disqualification Of Col. Stokes,
and the fierce denunciations of Messrs.
SHELLABARGER and CoNKIING upon the
admission Of a Senator to a seat in the Sen
dte-a subject with which the House has no
more to do than the supposed man in the
moon. The progress of this debate deserves
a chapter by itself, for which there is not
room tonight. Such a miserable farce as
the Congressional action upon the admis-
sion of Judge PATTERSON is a fitting after
piece for the melo-dramatic if not abso-
lutely tragic, character of the previous pro-
ceedings of Congress.
