The Compensation Question.

Ine compensation QucSIions
Congressman formerly received eight
dollars day for each day Congress was
actually in session. Under this law the
sessions were unreasonably spun ont and
more talking was done than was necessary
or consistent with the public interest. The
system created professional Congressman
who abandoned all other occupations to
make eight dollars a day by doing almost
nothing.
The law was changed. Fixed salaries
were given. And under this arrangement
Congressman received $1,000 year and
mileage-which mileage amounted to about
5000 a year mot including extra sessiols)
for the member from this District.
Under this law SCHENCK was elected in
1864; and of course he agreed to ser0e for
the compensation. Ills term began on the
18th of March, A. d. 1865. twill end March
4th, 1867. His compensation being S3,G0
a year, amounts to $40 per day for. eUeiy
day in the year. lie began to draw $40 per
day on the 4th of March, A. d. 1865; but
did not begin his work until the 4tll Of De-
eember following. Then his first session
began, and lasted until July 2S-about
eight months. lie is now free and will be
until December 3, when his second ses-
sion will begin, which will expire the fol-
lowing 4th of March, when his term runs
out.
Thus in two years he will receive, under
this law. $1,000 for elepen months work--a

Episcopal FAIR.-The fair for the bene.
fit of this church opened last night in the
store lately occupied by Bradley Brothers
Hull street. The room was beautifully
ornamented with eyergreens and a0weIe
the tables well filed with everyy, and
that an epcurean taste couldlHiling and
the ladies themselves loohir of loyeliness
charming in fact, suctt one could almost
pervaded the sce,fairy land, among ideals,
imagine himsekis sublunary sphere. The
and not y" have this fair in charge have
ladied with great zeal, and deserve great
ERccess. In addition to all Of the luxuries
of the season, they offer many other novel
ties and amusements richly worth double
the. amount expended; aud the man who
cannot enjoy himself amid the thousand
attractions which the fair affords, must be
sad misanthrope. The beauty Of the or
naments, the dazzling Splendor Of the rich
ly laden tables, and the charms Of the
ladies themselves, are objects upon which
the mind loves to linger, and which we
could never weary in contemplating. Let
everybody and his wife attend the fair, and
enable the ladies to raise sufficient sum
to erect chapel to be used as an edifice OF
worship.

LOCAL MATTERS.

CITY CoUNCIL.-An adjourned meeting
of the City Council was held yesterday af-
ternoon. The following members were
present: Mr.. Mactarland (president),
Messrs. Crutchfeld, Lee, Mason, Taylor,
Saunders, Epps, Scott, Smith, August, and
Clopton.
The gas bill was further argued, and
during the argument on the subject it was
stated that the City Gas Works are $4,000
short of paying expenses, though this fall
ing short may be made up by the payment
of delinquent gas bills.
The old ordinance was adopted with re-
spect to the payment of delinquent bills
by landlords. Adjourned.

MuTISY AMONG THE CHAIS-GANG.-Yes-
terday, when the chain-gang was about
going out to work, five of the members
all negroes-refused to go. The mutiny
took place while one OF the members was
being ironed. The mutineers said they
were willing to work, but were not willing
to wear the ball and chain. They were
put back in their cells. The Mayor, it IL
stated, will not let the matter rest here
but will apply to higher authority to en-.
force the law compelling criminals to work
in the gang. As it is, it appears that he
only has authority to sentence parties tc
serve in the gang. The portion of the con
victs who did not mutiny were put on the
same work which was commenced Monday
morning-digging culvert. They die
their work quietly. .-

The entire debt of the Danville Railroad
Company is S2,l63, 1888. 1t is known
that the original capital stock OF the com
pany was inadequate to build and equip
the road, and that recourse to loans was
unavoidable. These were secured by sue
ceSsivc mortgages, and the President ad-
vises that the debt thus created and Sc
curcd-some of the mortgages covering
exceedingly small sums-be consolidated
under two, and, if practicable, one mort
gage, as a means of strengthening the
company's resources and avoiding the pre-
judicial effect of many mortgages upon
efforts to negotiate loans on the company's
bonds.
Notwithstanding that there has been a
great reduction Of freight upon the road,
the receipts Of the year exceed those OF
any year prior to the war by upwards OF
100000. Taking this year as a guide, the
company may estimate an excess over
ordinary expenses Of S2S4,OO deduct in
terest on entire debt and S42, 900 annuity
to the State, al50,000 leaves nett balance,
$l34 900, or dividend of six per cent. TO
the stockholders and one per cent. sinking
fund, should that be reSOrted to.
But the business of the road must in
crease and its results be larger. Owing TO
the depression OF a crippled and expert
mental agriculture and other causes, the
remarkable exhibit is shown that in wheat,
n. compared with lS59-'G0, the tranSporta-
tion of the last year was SO per cent. less,
and in tobacco 43 per cent. less. In
| Is59-'60 there were 330, $40 bushels OF
wheat transported eastwardly, and only
| 2,434 bushels the year just ended; 1866
hogsheads and $3.50 pounds Of manutac-
tured tobacco last year against l5,40S
hogsheads and l05, Ia pounds of manulac-
tured tobacco in 1859. This is wonderful
falling off: and in these staples there must
be large increase, as there must be from
all other sources, especially from travel
when the railroad between Columbia, s
c., and Augusta, Ga, is completed. That
is under way, and when finished will make
'the route uid Charlotte and Danville VERY
rapid and popular. light

The BELLE ISLE STRIKE still continues,
and originated not in the employment OF
men who were not members of the Work
ingmen's Society, as has been reported,
but in the assumption of authority on the
part of the employees to make the selection

settled at once to the satisfaction of botf
parties, and that work will be resumed
and proceed with accustomed activity.
